Sonic Adventure to XBLA

I saw rumours a few days back but now that it's apparantly confirmed, here we go.

"Totally true, my man. [Sonic Adventure’s] on Partnernet. "

"I downloaded that sucker over the weekend. Big mutha of a download. 1.5GB!"

"Bad news is, it ain’t aged so well. Seriously. Just looks like a straight port [of the Dreamcast game]. Same draw distance issues, same glitches, same everything."

So everything’s the same?

"No widescreen mode, no graphical improvements. Feels really dumb and ropey now. Makes you wonder why they bothered."

Oh dear, that doesn’t sound good. He was kind enough to do some screens for us, though.

I never got to play SA1 but I did like SA2 on the GC. Hoping it's good. I can't imagin they'd sell it on XBLA if it was as shoddy as the article says. I'm sure they must still be tweaking it. Also, the game will have DLC in the form of the stuff that you had in the GC version. Whatever that is.

Unexpected.

Really? Dreamcast games to XBLA and PSN has been rumored for a while. I assumed they'd kick it off with a Sonic.

I was thinking Crazy Taxi or Jet Set Radio. Sonic Adventure never came to mind.

I loved Sonic Adventure but I would much prefer either of them tbh.

Also, PowerStone 2 (I know it's not Sega, but still)

Capcom's really being gay with Power Stone. If they don't wanna do Power Stone 3, fine - but give us part two for fuck sake.

I'd love to see Crazy Taxi on XBLA. No sign of that happening though. It's available on PSN as far as I'm aware. At least on the UK PSN. I don't have PS3 so that's no help to me.
Never played Jet Set Radio but it's always been something I've wanted to play. Hopefully they'll all come along eventually.

You should be able to grab the XBox JSR:Future for pretty cheap and it's BC compatible with the 360. I prefer the original, but Future is pretty damn good as well.

I didn't know it had a sequal on the Xbox. Gonna go look into that now.

Yeah, they actually packaged it in with the X Box at one point. I got mine when they did. Never really played it, though, and I don't think it's compatible with the 360 since it was a double game.

Fuck that I have it on Dreamcast

I just read that it actually is :)

Fuck this garbage, when when are we getting Sonic CD?

Fuck yes.

And a port with the JAP/PAL soundtrack finally, none of this inferior US soundtrack BS on a port finally.
