I heard the game doesn't give you the option of using the original OST. Which is dumb since it's there. The remix tracks better not blow ass.

From what I've seen the original ost is there but you don't get the option of switching between them for stages. They're attached on a by stage basis from what I understand. So the first 3 acts of a world will be the remixes and then the rest of the acts will be the original ost. Reviews have been saying some of the remixes feel over produced. I don't think what I've heard is bad so far but I def don't think they're going to replace or stand side by side with the originals but I'm hoping I'm wrong on that.

Unfortunately I'm hearing that there are glitches all over the Switch version (Edit: wait apparently these glitches are universal? These are being shown on a PS5. ) that I hope get fixed with a patch at some point. Some of these are really small imo but some of them makes me feel like they decided they were going ignore Q+A's reports.

Edit: finding out that the gltiches are not just on the Switch version of this game...What the hell is going on Sega?

Apparently I"m hearing that Sega didn't do this port/remaster themselves and outsourced it...it's what I keep reading.

This is...incredibly saddening that this game is being treated this way. Sega went from potentially getting 2 copies of the game from me to waiting to see if they'll patch it cause some of this doesn't make any sense. Whoever it was that they outsourced it to either is pulling a quick on them or Sega had to of known about the problems and decided to not push it back and release it anyway. I feel like it's probably the latter cause there's no way they couldn't have known about some the problems. I was genuinely happy that more people were going to have a chance to play this game.

Whoops, didn’t realize there was a Sonic thread. Guess I can post the Colors Ultimate stuff here.

That is the worst part of this. Colors had this reputation for years of being one of the few good 3D Sonics and bringing Sonic out of the dark age. While I don’t necessarily agree with those statements, it was a very fun game that a lot of people wanted to play outside the Wii original. To see it end like this is upsetting but someone actually called it happening months ago.

It’s insane how many things he got right. Didn’t know the people responsible for the port never had any experience with the Switch.
