Still on the fence about this game, might rent it or if my friends buy it might just borrow it from them and play the game that way, but what's with that random guy in the costume XD? Or is he supposed to symbolize the were-hog :p?

In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.

I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.

What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.

What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “

Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.

The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson

But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free

Please. Doesn't hold a candle to Chemical Plant Zone.

Stopac53d ago

Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.

NotoriousWhiz53d ago

Inspiration and trend chasing are not the same thing.

Eonjay53d ago

I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.

Authentic japanese spirit is the right path

PRIMORDUS448d ago

Actually the torrent is up and you do not need to own the 360 version of the game. Also it will never be taken down.

Chocoburger447d ago

Nice, I found it on 1337x! I actually liked many parts of this game, but some parts are also shitty. Its uneven, but overall a decent game.

PRIMORDUS447d ago

1337x is one of my favorite ever since the real RARBG went down. I usually only get from FitGirl or DODI.

gold_drake447d ago

u gotta give the hardcore fans credit, they are committed to fix segas 3d sonic games ha.
