Sonic Adventure to XBLA

[Drakul]

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

[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.
