Does "developers get paid for their product and are encouraged to continue making products" count as a benefit? No. Because that benefit comes from the money I payed for the game. If you have a better suggestion than releasing software for free and hoping people pay for it out of the goodness of th...

It's intrusive when the program is not necessary to play a game, and is being made as if it is. This is not really a very good definition for "intrusive." It stand between you and your game, and is not necessary. You are obliged to create an account, and install it without any benefit. I'd say is i...

Having to be connected to the internet to play an offline game may be (theoretically) a hassle but it's not actually inherently "intrusive". It's intrusive when the program is not necessary to play a game, and is being made as if it is. You may not like Steam but thousands and thousands of people a...

You need to [...] have an internet connection Considering that Steam is also a digital distribution system, you can probably use the same internet connection you used to download the game in order to play it, right? Oh, but I'm talking about the retail version, not the digital one. Because some ret...

An Internet connection is necessary to play an offline game? Those who have Steam as DRM, yes. At least for activation. It's still wrong, since it's a payed service and not free or granted to be considered a minimum requirenment. That's just totally stupid. They should also cut the crap with SecuRO...

How is Steam intrusive apart from logging in, which is to be expected of an online gaming network? And since when is an online gaming network required to play a game I buy? It's intrusive DRM, no matter what. You need to install Steam, have an internet connection to activate the game, and only then...

I hope there is a retail PC version, and without that Steam DRM crap. I hope there's a Steam version, without that "Insert DVD into disc drive" crap. There is crap, and intrusive crap. Steam is the latter. There was no mention of a potential PC release of Unleashed, but I'm sure a similar hype woul...

I don't get the excitement about the PC version. Like I'm not against the game being available to more people, but it seems like people are really eager for there to be a PC version this time around. No one cared if there was a PC version of Unleashed. Are you guys just not on board with current-ge...

I really hope we see that.

What about SA1? That's where shit started.

After seeing a legion of grown adults wearing Sonic wigs, I now know for certain, Sega can produce absolute shit and fans will lap it up. I always thought that those fans who bought any shitty Sonic game Sega has been making over the last decade were kids and teens. Neve thought there were "adults"...

I wouldn't take anything SoA says with too much weight. Hell, I don't even think SoJ even realizes SoA is still on the payroll. Still, if they don't make more classic Sonic games (I don't care about the model, just the gameplay), then they won't have my money either. Maybe if this game is successfu...

I thought you were fine with it. Anyway, I don't think scaffolding is that "out of place" on a city-themed level. I thought it was a nice move.

I've heard Chemical Plant music being played in the background of some interviews at E3.

You didn't have rails on Green Hill either.

Ah! This guy spilled out PC at the end of the video.

Now that I think of it, if they eventually do a line of DLC, it's better that the PC version gets delayed. And when released, it should come in a Director's Cut edition, with all the DLC in it.

I guess that confirms the PC version too.

I completely agree with you (since I don't have any console aside from the Mega Drive), but I don't buy a game with DRM like Steam in it.

I hope so. It seemed necessary with the giant Chopper chasing you.

I never liked Modern gameplay, but for the first time it looks rather interesting to me, they had to put (unnecessary) QTEs in there...

Presence where? In any case, I hope not. I don't need unnecessary DRM...

My wish is about to come true. According to a SEGA sales projections report for 2011, Sonic Generations will have a PC release (and a 3DS one too):

I have to ask que same thing.

So, Obama kept up to his promise...
