I guess the only place to go from rock bottom is up, right?

He lives!

Im sooooo getting this game!

PS. I was gonna get it anyways but now Ive got a reason.

PSS. The only thing that still bothers me is pancake Eggman.



Just Imagine Sonic vs Metal in this level, I hope it has cool Music.

Hey! Where's the cape? The spikes? The lizard form?

Haaaa! Just kidding! Metal's looking good again!

I believe similar thoughts were expressed over Sonic Heroes and then again over Shadow the Hedgehog.

Why are they fighting Andross?

Why is there such ugly pixelation?

That would be your browser; the images are actually twice the size, but I figured nobody wanted their tables stretched (even if most people don't use 1024x768 anymore, it's still possible somebody does), so I made them display at half-size.

Unless you meant the textures, in which case yeah, no excuse.

What, other than it being a game for a fucking hand-held console? Man, give the kid a break. I'm still getting to grips with the idea of portable 3D.

^Except that there are better looking PSP games than this like Tekken:DR and Daxter.

They're the only two, right?

Anyway, point missed. It's a racing game. You think you'll be looking at one roadside bush or studying the resolution of the ground texture for any length of time? So there's pixellation in scenery. OMG. A necessary evil if the overall presentation is smooth as a baby's arse.

I generally think the graphics are generic and boring, regardless of whether or not it runs on a fucking portable system. Granted, it's not quite Nintendo DS bad, but it still annoys me. If the game had any smack of decent graphics or ingenuity I'd be more open to pixelation. This is why I can tolerate watching videos of the pixelation fest that is Guardian Heroes on the Saturn.

Try playing the actual game. :)

I don't own a PSP.

I meant <i>Guardian Heroes</i>.

some new metal sonic pics inside.

If by new you mean "the exact same bloody pictures I already posted", then cool.

There's actually a few in there that you didn't post, although I guess he mainly thought of them as new because they're higher res (although this is pointless as high res portable screens aren't usually a great idea since the games are intended to be played on small screens).

Metal Sonic is actually looking fairly decent, a lot better than his hideous Heroes incarnation anyway. There's no evidence showing this game has improved at all gameplay wise since that awful looking video from a while back though so I'm just going to assume this is still garbage until proven otherwise.

Point taken; I'll retract my statement and accept that I just made an ass out of you and me.

They're NOT higher res, though. Seriously, do you people WANT me to undo the shrinking I did on the images? Because it's all in the img tag; if you copy their URL and look 'em up in the address bar, I guarantee you they're the same size.

Higher res or not, Eggman still sucks.

Please dont talk metal, please dont talk, please dont talk, please dont talk...

also note, that his red nose is gone, I guess he finally took an advil for the flu.

Nope, plastic surgery and makeup, since it’s seems he learned to not waste all his money in robots, machines and evil plots. He could have also reach a crisis or something, one of those things that make your dad get a new car and try to look younger.

So explain to me what's going on in those screenshots, then.

Cheap plastic, is all made out of cheap plastic.

Hearing about Metal's prescence is kind of comforting. But that boss reminds me of one of the bosses in Ape Escape/P. On that note, does anyone have the latter?
