People always say that licensing issues behind the music are why Sonic 3&K can't be remade
but then why don't those same issues prohibit SEGA when they re-release the game normally for digital download or in compilations? Plus, Michael Jackson didn't even officially receive credit for working on the game.
Why would Sega remake the game in the first place?
Probably a deal where they can use the songs only if they're in their original format.
Obviously you can't give the rights to Taxman because they never do a straight port, it would be a new game built from scratch and be counted as redistribution or something.
difference between just posting a rom in an emulator and actually remaking a game
They had Taxman remake Sonics 1, 2, and CD for modile devices and steam from the ground up, Sonic 3 & K is a pretty glaring omission.
Oh...
Are you sure it isn't the fact that Taxman is a huge CD fag? And having 3&K on the market would embarrass CD with it's sales?
All they have to do is use the same engine/physics and they could make
Sorry, my thoughts were unfinished and unpolished, just like segas attempts at fucking everything. Sonic mania is our only hope at a decent game. Sonic generations feels terrible, it was simply praised for being polished enough to not be a damned disaster.
>but then why don't those same issues prohibit SEGA when they re-release the game normally for digital download or in compilations?
Last time someone asked, Sega was actually in legal issues because of that, with the composers filing for unpaid royalties.
>Plus, Michael Jackson didn't even officially receive credit for working on the game.
MJ wasn't the only outside guy, he brought in his production team.
I hate this game. Every time I feel like I get a bit of flow going I always crash into an enemy or spikes. Overrated desu
They worked on a pitch for S3&K numbnuts
Aaaaand found the Taxman autist.
Did anyone play that compilation on the DS?
Looked more like a shitty bootleg than an official product.
Who could forget the all time classic Ice Cap Zone music.
Backing up claims with evidence is not autism
How so? It just seemed like a straight port to me
Thought about getting it on several different occasions, but I'm at the point where I'd rather them just put Taxman's ports in one package
Caring to defend your celebrity infatuation from overtly ridiculous criticism on the internet, is autism.
>Get BTFO
>Call people autist
>calling someone else an autist
>Aaaaand
I'm talking about how there's no intro and how the resolution is all squashed
So what does it mean when someone cares enough to specifically label people "Taxman Autist" over several threads?
waht the shit is this
>In a Sonic thread discussing the legality of remaking a game over 20 years old.
>Can't handle being called autistic.
>Must defend St Taxman from any criticism
What? This is my first time calling anyone a taxman autist. If you've been called that more than once, then maybe you should reevaluate your actions.
And what does it mean? It means I've noticed a little cult fanbase sprout up of Taxman dicksuckers, and it's fun to poke at them.
>OMG TAXMAN PLEASE CUM IN MY MOM AND FORCE ME TO EAT IT OUT. YOU SAVED SONIC. AND MANIA IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD.
Embarrassing.
It means they're shitposting and you shouldn't be giving them the (You)s they're fishing for so dseperately.
there's an easy answer: it was licensed for distribution in its original format
running the original code as-is in an emulator sidesteps the issue, while remaking it means that you have to go check all the rights and the lot
Generations isn't quite that bad, but it's still not nearly as good as it should have been.
also, Classic Sonic handles like ass -- it's not bad like Sonic 4, but you can't land into a roll, he's heavy as shit, the spindash is way OP, it's just awkward
can't fucking wait for Mania though -- the last 2D Sonic (or really, Sonic game in general) that really controlled properly was Sonic Advance, from like fifteen or sixteen fucking years ago
it wasn't the last good one, but it was the final hurrah of Sonic's physics being good
read:
info.sonicretro.org
it was developed based on a homebrew DS emulator that Sega brought the developer of on board to lead
>OMG TAXMAN PLEASE CUM IN MY MOM AND FORCE ME TO EAT IT OUT.
shit, that's kind of hot
have you looked at Taxman?
>AND MANIA IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
considering I've been asking for a game like Mania for the last decade, sure
>being this asspained over getting proven wrong
Keep going. Please.
ANNIE ARE YOU OKAY
ARE YOU OKAY
ARE YOU OKAY ANNIE
this is what happens when you remake/port sonic 3 instead of just releasing an emulated version
Knuckles was western garbage. Not sure why it gets lumped in with sonic 3. It was a buggy mess and backwards compatibility never worked
>Can't deal with the fact that he got incensed over a meaningless insult of his celebrity crush, Taxman.
>Copes by holding on to the idea that the bait was genuine.
Truly sad.
he looks like the gay guy that sings in everyones uncle's aerosmith cover band
he really does
the engine is nearly identical (shit, it has bugfixes vs S3 alone) and S&K's stage design is a fair bit better than the S3 half
That wasn't as entertaining as your last post. Now you're just boring me.
>If I keep pretending as if he was BTFO, then I won't have to deal with the fact that an insult about a random celebrity got me upset. And then I'll be in control.
>If I keep pretending as if he was BTFO
But you were. There's no pretending.
>He can't bait me, if I keep replying to him.
Genius.
>I got the last word in, so I win
No me.
>mention taxman in a sonic thread
>pressboost2winfags sperg out
every
damn
time
>I'm not being trolled. *I'm* trolling! This loser doesn't know what you give up.
>things dont go perfect like in my autismal mental world
>oh shit! oh fuck oh fuck! im being invaded by my imaginary enemies
>tl;dr jews and copyright laws ruin everything again
And yet you keep responding.
It's almost like I got what I wanted or something.
Holy shit what are you even sperging out about at this point?
This entire argument started because one user contradicted you about the fact that there was a prototype version of an S3&K port for modern devices and you flipped your shit about everyone wanting to suck taxman's cock and being a fanboy
are you literally autistic?
I just want to be part of the quote chain
Congratulations!
Oh, thank. Are you coming to terms now with the fact that you got baited? Or do you still believe there's an user out there that hates Taxman for being a CDfag?
>knuckles is western garbage
what did he mean by this
vs mode had the best music
youtube.com
>do you still believe there's an user out there that hates Taxman for being a CDfag?
I believe there's an user right here who's moronic enough to keep responding to my thoughtless, one-line posts as if he's managed to prove something. I'm not sure who you think you managed to bait before, but thanks for the shallow entertainment anyway.
>TFW Mania probably won't have a vs mode
Oh user... You're really trying to hard.
Sonic 3: The Hedgehog?
Knuckles was designed by the western b team. Ran like shit on genesis
&Knuckles was designed by the same team that did Sonic 3 and ran just as well as Sonic 3 with perfect backward compatibility.
The only Sonic game made entirely by US devs in the Genesis era was Spinball.
Knuckles Chaotix was handled by the B-team, but back in Japan.
No it wasn't, it was the exact same team.
Re-releasing the same game for which the music was licensed to =/= Making a new game (even technically) and reusing the songs
>people pretending this song is bad
Look it up dumb fucks. Sonic and knuckles the real name not the given millennial name of sonic 3 and knuckles was developed on western shores
You didnt own a genesis if you claim perfect backwards compatibility. Thats absurdly in denile
May I ask what are you doing?
By the same Japanese team. Even if they develop it in fucking moon it will still be the same.
Same shit different place.
Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were developed by Japanese-led teams in the US because Yuji Naka didn't like the Japanese corporate culture and wanted more creative freedom. Sonic 2 had a joint Japanese and US team that was led entirely by the Japanese. Differences in working culture led to Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles being developed entirely by Japanese staff, although still located in the US.
Adventure 2, Heroes and Shadow were the same way, they were developed in the US but by almost entirely Japanese staff.
well shit, its no wonder sonic 2 is the best one then while sonic 1 and sonic 3 suck my ass. ameritubbies intervened and made it cool and fast, rather than bloated, slow, and loaded with garbage gimmicks.
>it was a shitposting 2fag all along
Sanic 2 may have been japanese made but they shoved in their trip to Vegas in one of the levels. I don;t see how being born in Chinkanistan would change that.
>not an argument, butthurt 3 nigger
>2fag shitposting
>deserving of arguments
Sonic 3 feels weirdly more western thanks to Sonic looking more cartoony and all those xtreme machine minibosses instead of the usual googly eyed animal robots.
sonic 3 feels bad because its not a good game. and also the things you said, yes.
Why is it so hard for companies to pay royalties?
>S3&K can never be remade because of royalties
>Marvel can never reprint or use the Ultraverse characters because of royalties
I guess I shouldn't be surprised when jews refuse to hand over the shekels but fuck, just pay the royalties and be done with it.
I'm sure they don't want the Jackson state to bankrupt them faster than you can say "gotta go fast".
It's not a one time thing, every time you use that song you have to pay Royalties again. They got in trouble with Archie for this when some artist (Not penders) sued them for not paying him for EVERY issue he worked on that was resold.
