Why were Sonic games on the PS2 so awful
I still listen to this game's soundtrack, man. I know it's worse than the original in every way but I'll play it just to jam out.
>>720250263The PS2 versions were poorly optimized, maybe sega hated sony or something at the time.
>>720250263Zero Gravity was on the PS2? I thought it was only on Wii
>>720250263Weird I was just thinking about the original Riders and was gonna make a thread about it. Does it hold up was gonna give it a replay
>>720250263Sonic Heroes and Sonic Unleashed were decent, and the retro compilations were excellent.
>>720253373Heroes had the worst port>Unleashed on PS2Lmao. He fell for the youtube essay slop
Surprised Adventure and Adventure 2 weren't on PS2.
>>720250263>Put your heart and soul into mainline console sellers>Fail so hard you have to drop out of the console wars>Just give up and phone it in for all third party releases and ports.
>>720250263They're still the games I most played as a kid, Sonic Riders is also good game
>>720253362It's probably the best Sonic games of the early 2000s, surprisingly deep in mechanics too.Shame SEGA killed the series with Free Riders.
>>720250263i love rouge
CATCH!MEEEEEEEEEIF YOU CAN!
>>720253362The original still holds up. Zero Gravity is too easy though.
>>720250263They used Renderware, and Renderware just didn't get very good PS2 support, so everything sorta shat the bed. Sega was new to the whole multiplatform thing so I'm not very surprised.
>>720253362Riders biggest issue is no tutorial IMO, so on a replay its a lot better since you know all the secret tech the game never bothers to mention
>>720250263Better than the slop the franchise produces now.
>>720253362btw there's this improvement mod if you want to replay ithttps://www.exgearlabs.org/downloads/sonic-riders-dxThere's also one for Zero Gravity
Best roog
