Hey XL2, finally i have returned from my vacation and literally, the first thing i did was to burn the cd
I played the demo on a model 1 Pal Saturn, with the 3D controller.
The progress has been huge!, those 4 levels looks so nice, with a lot of differences from the earlier versions. I love that effect around Sonic and the stele behind him.
The 3er level looked very funny to me, those speed sections makes the game nicer, more...Sonic like. Although it´s easy to die and fall down, maybe some invisible walls may prevent that?. At least at speed sections would be ok to try this?, only an idea. Another element that brings inmersion is the fire, that fire is so cool! Does it uses dynamic lighting?
The 4th level has been a great surprise!! that metal walls and new elements looks phenomenal. Here is where i missed the most those "dynamic elements?" you talked once, lifts and platforms to move through the level, but nothing the double jump couln´t do
On the technical area, the framerate is very good, but not stable 100%. I have tried 30 and 60 hz. Both go well but sometimes a little slowdown happens, especially when turn the camera (using L or R). I want to record a gameplay and share it to you for a better idea of what im talking about. As a curiosity, i switched to 60 hz my console (i did the mod to my saturn to run the games as ntsc does) and the game runs ultra slow!!! i thing maybe 10 fps? of course i burned the pal iso so i think is because of this.
To end, the gameplay with the 3D pad its a delight, only with this the game wins a lot of fun to me.
Sorry for not being so technical when talk about it, i don´t know nothing about develop but i wanted to let you know my impressions about this miracle that you are giving us. Thaks a lot for this!
