Sonic is about physics

A while back we summed up the problem with Sonic Generations. As an advocate for sprites, I believe classic sonic would do far better on a 2d platform plane, with 3d thrown in as a bonus stage (ala sonic 2 or sonic cd). But the main thing about sonic's appeal is the physics and control.

Here is an old ass video someone did with Sonic & Knuckles' Mushroom Hill Zone. All they did was rendered a 3d movie over an existing gameplay video.




As you can see it captures the feel of sonic, so there's no real excuse for Sega not getting it correct.
