Interesting how Sonic Team downgraded the graphics for the PS3 version. It looks worse than the 360 version.
It's no different than Sonic Heroes on GC vs PS2 or Shadow on GC vs PS2. PlayStation was inferior GPU hardware in both cases, and all Sega did was ship it to a different spec profile, but because 06 is this "broken release" people treat it like a conspiracy. It was only delayed for localization outside of english. The game actually shipped with english language in japan on PS3 the same day it came out on 360, December 21 2006.
If you didn't know, the PS3 uses a Nvidia GTX 7xxx which is last gen as hell in terms of graphics. 360 uses next gen radeon with unified shaders.this is what radeon graphics looked like on pc/360.

And it has no achievements
>>736830556360 was more like a Radeon 2xxx. That's what started unified shaders and is the defining next gen thing. PS3 lack and Wii lack it entirely.
>>736830810Wasn't 360 the first AMD APU in a console?
>>736829934They're not good programmers, and probably had to downgrade the PS3 assets to make the game run at all.
>>736831031No, that's PS4/Bone. 360 used a discrete PowerPC CPU and Radeon GPU in early models, with it being merged into an SoC for the slim models.
