Sonic R remake

[TheShadowHatter]

just saying...the game mechanics may have been horrible but it was one of the best sonic games ever featuring REALISTIC racing in the sonic world. sonic RUNS?! NO WAAAAIIII!! amy drives a car?! HOLY SHI-! and tails do-.......I'm too scared to say.

anyways the music was charming the characters were awesome (especially metal knuckles) and the exploration while racing was pretty awesome (despite being a B! to get chaos emeralds).

at the end of the day this game needs to either be fixed up so we can play it on windows and higher, placed in steam, and then there needs to be a remake of this game with todays technology so it can be as awesome as it was before.

generations shows their appreciation for old games...let's bring Sonic R back...but actually more playable and better yes?

Sonic R was a terribly designed game with god awful music.

And it is very much possible to "beat" the game in under 30 minutes with all of the chaos emeralds and characters unlocked. I've done it before.

They said the same thing about Dark Souls 2. >x)

Thanks for necroing...

Edit: Also, I still find Sonic R entertaining for nostalgia factor. I played it a lot as a kid.

Sonic R is okay but the problem with most of the cast being on foot is that Sonic is inherently the fastest; you add Super Sonic to the equation, and you get some really one-sided races. It was a fun single player experience, but balanced far too poorly for multiplayer to have any weight to it. And yeah, as several people have pointed out by now, once you know where everything is, it's about the shortest game you'll ever play. It's not by any means difficult.

I never got why everyone has a problem with Sonic taking to a hoverboard or car once in a while anyway; there's no new concepts there. Drift had him in a car on the Game Gear, and he started snowboarding way back in Sonic 3. Aside from precendent, the dude likes speed. I can't imagine he'd be too picky how he goes about getting it, but also levelling the playing field with some form of non-bipedal locomotion makes every character valid as a competitor.

Besides, Transformed is pretty freakin' cool, imo, if a fair bit unforgiving.

Sonic R may be launched on 64-bit machines, just go to thepiratebay.org and type "sonic r 2004". It's 2004 official patched release, tested and works under Win7 x64.

I also know that was another version that can launch game in multiplayer mode by tcp/ip, I don't know how to launch it, so here is my msg from other discussion:

"Hey guys, I got link to the official SEGA patch for Sonic R, it's not resolve problems with 705** adress, it allows network play for up to 4 players on an IPX or TCP/IP connection. The page is no longer exist, but wayback machine can open it. Steam blocks links, so go to:

sega dot com > support > sega games > Sonic R [in wayback machine choose 22 Jun 2004]

So, the page includes "sr_net.exe" file wich is different one. So I'd downloaded it and paste in to the root directory of Sonic R. Then I got an error (00468e09). If anybody can disassemble that, it would be cool "

I have the 2004 version and the non 2004 disk version, the latter of which doesn't run. I use daemon tools lite to run the 2004 one. A remake of Sonic R with more stages and music would be good.

The only song I wasn't a fan of was the infamous one (you know what it is) but the rest were good, even if the lyrics sounded like something from a Saturday morning animation. You could also toggle the lyrics off in the options menu if they bugged you.

I do wish this remake let you switch between the PC graphics and Saturn graphics too.

Bad idea because it wouldn't sell.

My memories of sonic r are a little foggy since I played it as a kid. But I remember the game having 6 courses plus I think there was this secret course and it started off with 5 characters and it doubled plus super Sonic so by today's standards this game doesn't offer that much content plus Sega has a better racing game then sonic r already called Sonic and all stars racing transformed.

A remake could add more content which would include more than Sonic R's poultry 4 or 5 tracks; I've been playing Metroid Zero Mission recently and I've also beaten AM2R and Black Mesa. They are remakes that add much more to the game, so why complain if they do add that?

If it was just a straight port and not a remake than maybe, but the title of the thread is "Sonic R Remake" so we can assume it's that.

Doom 4 could technically also be considered a remake that adds more but its place in the canon is foggy as it also seems to be both a reboot and a sequel.

Rise of the Triad 2013 too, escpecailly since the old game was a primitive 2.5D FPS running on a modified Wolfenstein 3D engine. Both versions of that game are sort of like Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog as an FPS too.

Spoilers for the remake version ahead. Also, the version in the review is an old build and many of the bugs have been fixed. The Steam one is more up to date however, and I have the GOG one.

Also, I like first person platforming in games if it's done well, and ROTT 2013's platforming is done well for the most part, but it takes some getting used to.

Here's a link to Psychedelic Eyeball's LP of the original game.

Remakes don't have to be 100% carbon copies of a game but with better graphics I hope you realize.

Sonic R remake could include all the new characters as well, new stages, new everything but you keep the same exact concept/gameplay/exploration aspects to it as the original.

Guys, network mode works on modern PC's. Chech out my youtube channel, just type "anzipex" or "sonic r network mode"
