Sonic Team need to fire every single one of their artists and inject some new blood into their designs.

The style of the 3d Sonic universe is really uninspiring stuff, its just horrid.

Are you sure those Sonic riders screens aren't from te DS version?

postiive my man unless sega messed up the label but i doubt it they came the right resolution for ps2 and only came one screen not one on top of the other like ds usually do

i honest to god thought wow that looks ok for ds...but when did sonic riders get announced? wow good character models for ds...the looked at topic..ps2...does not compute...wtf.
 
They are screens from a renderware development computer most likely, and don't have all of the effects turned on.... like texture filtering...

Super Monkey Ball Touch DS needs to come with some kind of insurance for your DS. I don't know how many times I almost threw the GC controller. Luckily they were wired, otherwise I know I would be replacing some Wavebirds.

LOL the filter on the textures must not be applied yet. You guys are hilarious :lol



-- Another damn Sonic racing game, it's been 5 to 6 of them i played since Sonic Adventure. (most of them were hidden under a "platforming style" name)

Sonic Riders looks like a crappy dreamcast game.

If their next-gen sonic game will suck, they might as well kill the franchise.

When you get a new life every ten bananas, such insurance isn't needed.

When the controls are broken as fuck you do!
:lol I'm still wondering why Sega is making such a shoddy version of SMB for the DS, it could be so much better. Music sucks, control sucks, no WiFi battle mode... *sigh* Sega will be Sega I guess.

Did the ps2 unlearn texture filtering?
I actually do believe it was done on purpose in order to create a sharp appearance that works well with fast forward motion.

There are a number of games across all platforms where I've seen them simply avoid using texture filtering for this reason. I wish I could recall some examples off hand, though...

Oh, but those pics are pretty ass. I wonder if they can match the glory of Shadow!!!111?!

They are probably just turning off as many effects as possible in order to get the game to 120 FPS.
OMG 120FPS!! Next-gen. am here!

Yup, I was really disappointed when I loaded the game up this afternoon. :/ It's likely getting sold off for Mario Kart next week.

Holy shit, wtf???

look at the second screen, it looks like a ds game. what the hell is up with the non-existant ground texture?
The buildings look like they were rendered on the DS as well.

At least you live in a country where you can sell the game off :( Although the first 30-40 stages are pretty playable, it's just after that with the d-pad = >_<

By the looks of those textures I'm guessing you meant the SNES version, right?
Funny you say that, as one of those textures really does have that "Mode 7" look to it...
