- Sonic's been no stranger to a lack of care and quality. Sonic Boom, Sonic 06, Sonic Forces, the list goes on. But what happens when it's not just the new games? What happens when they somehow screw up a rerelease?
You get a very angry RadicalSoda, that's what.
Join me on a journey to discover why SEGAs constant uncaring attitude they have towards Sonic has led me to the point where my hopes for the future have completely vanished. I've given up on Sonic.

How the hell did sega unfinish a finished game
They have their ways
@@ochuspinexactly, it's sega we are talking about.
If what this Sphealios person commented is true, the game's inner workings were never meant to be run on newer hardware. From what I know about programming, it's very cumulative. If problems crop up at the beginning, they compound towards the end of the project. Which is why executives who do not understand commitment trash games every time they get a "brilliant idea".
Best comment ever I think
Because Sega is Sega
"At least Pokemon functions." Really feels like ominous foreshadowing in hindsight
I can already sense RadicalSoda's Pokemon S/V review over the horizon.
@@ChaosUnown yeah and it’s WAYYYYYYY better than sword and shield and I know that that’s a low bar but with gamefreak declining on pokemon games im glad that it was atleast good
@@ChaosUnown pokemon scarlet and violet 1.2.0 has enter the chat
@@ChaosUnown If you think SwSh was average, then I hope you be able to play games from FRLG to B2W2, and see why those who played them felt the standards are quite low now, hehe.
@@ChaosUnown People didn't lose hours of progression in Sonic Colors Ultimate unlike in Scarlet and Violet. Scarlet and Violet is just as broken as Sonic Colors Ultimate and they are the worst optimized games in the series.
Fun Fact, My gameplay programming Professor actually worked on Colours Ultimate, and I was able to ask for a little bit of insight about the process of creating the game! he himself was not apart of the gameplay sector to my knowledge, he was in the Sr. development team, but I still learned a couple of things that I felt would just be cool to share as a thing of insight:
- For starters, the game was, of course, not made in Unity or Unreal engine. this means that they didn't have an engine that let them easily transfer settings, mechanics or controls to different systems, so a lot more effort and re-development was needed in order to have them work on different platforms.
- Another issue the game faced in development was because of the Wii itself. the Wii was a single-threaded machine, so the original sonic colours was made specifically to operate under that one computer thread. however, the systems that the game was ported towards were not single-threaded systems, but rather multi-threaded systems. as a result, they had to completely rework timings and systems to have that thread transition work properly.
- lastly is the Framework the game was originally built on. as an example for the Xbox version of the game; it uses microsoft's DirectX framework, but the Wii uses a very old system framework which is....incompatable with DirectX, to say the least. as a result, they had to emulate the Wii's system framework within the DirectX framework...which as he even said caused a couple of problems later down the line.
not trying to defend the state it was released in, but I figured I would lend a wee bit of insight to the process, since I think it's a travesty that a vast majority of players don't know what happens behind the scenes. and no, I will not be giving names or locations, because I am not trying to dox myself.
Truth be told, I'm not fully certain. I didn't ask him, as it felt somewhat obvious that if he has time to teach, he's probably not in the middle of working on Any project, as game development is a time consuming and stressful undertaking
This is great insight! Thank you for sharing!
I believe the engine used was Godot which is funny to see a Sonic game on, nothing wrong with it but still an interesting choice
well that sounds to me like Sega should not have grabbed the least qualified dev team to handle this port.
hell they probably should have done it in house given the very specific nature of how it was made.
@@ArcRay20 they had a decent track record, sounds to me handling code from the wii was a difficult task
Other thing I heard was that for ths devs there was no bugs on sight
The audiophile joke is one of my favorite moments. Really captures rads and bears comedic dynamic
RadicalSoda- I give you the completely bastardized Sonic Game
Sonic Fans- which one???
@WiiManElite the momentum in forces was also fucked
@WiiManElite for what was advertising itself as a sequel to sonic 3 and knuckles? It was pretty bad.
@WiiManElite I've seen a lot of people bashing the rehashing and momentum of Forces. Hell, I've seen a lot of Sonic fans hate Forces.
@WiiManElite As a Sonic fan, no, i don't do that, i have standards and i'm pretty sure a lot of others also do. I hate Forces with a burning passion, a hatred so deep that i may just be the only person left who still thinks of that shitshow every now and then.
I can and will criticize Sega and Sonic Team for what they do wrong. Also, EVERYONE was talking shit about Sonic Forces, i saw more people criticizing the game than defending it so... I don't know what you're going on about there.
Also also, Sonic 4's issues are far from being superficial. The physics are laughably bad and a terrible attempt at emulating the Megadrive classics, the art direction for the game leaves much to be desired, the level design is bland, boring and sometimes downright frustrating. The homing attack may seem neat until you realize that all they do with it is make rows of enemies that don't even take you anywhere. It tries to have the upper route and lower route like Sonic 2 but fails horribly as both routes you can take feel pretty much the same, and that is assuming there's an actual alternative route and not just a lazy excuse of an "alternative path"... On top of so many other issues... It completely fails to understand what makes 2D Sonic so great.
And as i said... I hate Forces... So don't even get me started on the flaws of that thing.....
But yeah... We Sonic fans CAN and WILL criticize the games. Because the ones who don't aren't really fans at all, they're just bootlickers.
@WiiManElite sonic fans are more harsh to their games than non fans
I think it’s worth mentioning that Sonic colors ultimate was not actually fixed. It’s still a technical mess. Sega basically dumped it, fixed only a couple of critical bugs and then abandoned it.
That tracks for SEGA
That's worse than GTA definitive I'm not kidding grove street are still fixing the game while Sega just left their game in the dust
@@enegizedadam GTA TT DA is still geting patches?
It didn’t even need a remaster tbh there are other sonic games that deserve it
I now see why this game was on sale for $20 in my retail store before 2023 ended, still have yet to play it but I did recall this video and wanted to review what to expect with this game
53:19 Good lord, that scream was so intense you'd think he's in a horror movie and the monster is sprinting at him.

I hate how people defend this “Remaster” by saying that a 3rd party worked on it and not Sonic Team or Sega themselves. *BUT IT’S STILL THEIR FAULT THAT THEY TRUSTED THEM WITHOUT LOOKING OVER THE DEVELOPMENT*
That a awful excuse considering blue point before becoming Sony first party was a third party studio who made a lot of great remasters
Bro the deliberately bastardized vids you do are like comedy movies yet so incredibly informative and well analyzed. That's a tough balance to find. Fucking love this channel
Imagine taking this comment out of context so people don't know the videos title. They would be so confused at what your trying to say.
The first time watching this through, I didn't realize that Sam's face changed when the game crashed and deleted the save data. 52:09 We love to see the attention to detail.
“it’s sonic colours” is a really good way to sum this up, fucking up a rerelease of a wii game THIS BADLY is so astronomically difficult that it’s almost impressive.
That and....it's sonic colors.
Almost feels intentional.
@@trevorweisberg8470 It seriously does, how do you screw up one of your best modern 3d gen rerelease
so this is the 300lb baseball bult side of the sonic fandom.
@Matthew Williams Unless it's Yakuza anyway. Sega actually cares about that franchise
There is a phrase known in the corporate world as "minimum viable product." This game is that phrase given form.

Less than minimum somehow😅

That's a lesson I think everyone needs to learn. Wait till you know it's good ESPECIALLY if it's Sonic.
"Sega stands for shittly engineered games!"
"I see... wait where's the A?"

"Oh, there it is."
And yet they somehow are good publishers for studios they have like Atlus who made the latest SMT and Persona games wtf.
I could make it work. Shittly Engineered GAmes.
@@fusionsub*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
i like the "no patches" review style, mostly because not everyone has wifi but will have phone sevice because they need it for work. this leaves them with knowing what they will get.
Finally, somebody who understands the problem with “patches”
Its a big issue with modern games anymore, patches and updates have been done to death and overused in all the wrong ways, its got so bad to the point people expect a game to be unfinished anymore which is just pathetic
“I’ll be getting to BDSP someday.”
Oh I’m freaking *ready* for RadicalSoda to tear BDSP into innumerable pieces.
Honestly after his pokemon videos kinda soured my liking of the guy as someone who was just eh on swsh and liked legends Arceus but saw the Livestream where it just looked like nit-picks gameplay wise and such I hope he doesn't cause it's like I know what he's gonna say cause he's so predictable with pokemon it's sad he's cynical about it now and I don't see him liking scarlet and violet if it's good either way
And even then I don't hate bdsp but I wish it was more cause it has some unused potential but I always think that's due to the directors and cause legends arceus was doing the new stuff for sinnoh
@@mephilisthedarkelijahramat182 Just because you have less tolerance for the flaws of Pokemon games doesn't make his comment senseless - also not sure what your reaction to BDSP contributes to this conversation...
@@zjzr08 because it's gonna be a cynical review of hating it that's all it's gonna be nothing new to add or anything I've felt rad has become more and more cynical and it's just not fun to watch him a lot anymore doesn't help with the sonic frontiers stuff he only seems to have the ign stuff and that's it said nothing about the stuff after ign considering how reception of frontiers has changed to a more positive light it just seems he's gonna be cynical about it and that's it
@@mephilisthedarkelijahramat182 What's the problem of being cynical if there's no hope of it being good for him, and it's not like he trashed everything in his SwSh review and I thought he was pretty fair there.
@@zjzr08 cause if it is good your just gonna nitpick what's bad about it and not enjoy it the legends Arceus just seemed like he was doing that and I wouldn't be surprised if he did that for frontiers
And for swsh honestly I found it just ok and both sides were acting like asses to each other like I knows it frustrating game freak cut pokemon for no reason but honestly I expected it to happen for the first games cause games after I don't think there would be cut pokemon and again its just both sides of the issue were annoying in the end and I was fucking sick of it rads review did not help and I felt like when he talked about when legends Arceus and bdsp and showed the tweets of people who were excited it just felt like he was being an ass about it
I can't belive Sam went all the way to New Zeland only to appear for a few minutes! He's so cool 😄
Meeting Bear Grylls was worth it.
A 75 minute Radical Soda?! On a FRIDAY? We are truly blessed
I mean, it’s just the full compilation of his Sonic Colors episodes; content we already saw.
He did the same thing with Pokémon Sword/Shield.
It’s convenient, but nothing to get worked up over.
Don't forget BEAR GRYLLS

HOLY SMOKE
Actually if we’re gonna get technical this is basically a 76 minute radicalsoda with a collaboration, 2 of Roberts most well known side characters, and *space jam T-shirt.*
Indeed we are bud!
I remember something another person said about Sega and their business practices. Sega of Japan is ran by boomers who haven’t the foggiest clue what is really needed to properly finish a game. With Sega’s Sonic games, the deadlines are immovable and the developers working on any given Sonic game aren’t informed about console exclusivity deals until damn near last minute. This is a problem bc Nintendo consoles are notoriously underpowered hardware. This is what happened to Sonic 06, the storybook games, and to Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Man Big Red Button got fucked so damn hard by Sega
The "I don't give a shit" still gets me
That's a simple yet effective answer that I should use from now on.
It's the correct answer too.
Unlike Sonic Colors "Ultimate" I have no problem with supporting this RadicalSoda re-release. Long live Poppy, queen of thumbnails

Eventually, online services get shut down. Meaning if someone gets the game used, they don't get to have the day 1 patches. Reviews of non-patched versions are completely valid
"What's the first thing you think of when I say Sonic Colors?"
"Baldy Nosehair!"
I laughed when people pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077, but a year later did the same for this game because it was one of my favourite childhood games.
Lesson finally learned. It sucks how little effort was put in for our very likely only remaster/re-release of an actual good Sonic game.
One heck of a lesson to not get caught up in hype, even if it should be safe in theory like a remaster.
@@kempolar9768 The funny part is that both games suffered nearly identical issues; the ceos not letting the developers finish the project in question.
The sonic example is a classic example of these impatient greed maggots (the CEOs) whipping their employees across the back to rush the game out because they don't just want SOME money, they want ALL of the money.
The Cyberpunk example is just flat out wasted years of development time, and when they finally tried to sell the damn thing, we had like 2 years of barely started progress. No REAL branching paths, no REAL choices mattering, nothing they promised.
@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958 TBF on cyberpunk, a lot of what they "promised"(aka people think they promised) wasnt promised at all, but things they talked about them WANTING to implement if possible.
it was the level of "they talk about customisations and mention shoes, someones interprets as them promising to customize shoe laces" at the end
DONt GET ME WRONG, CP77 was HILAROUSLY bad at launch(and still isnt amazing) but that mainly came do to the actual technical aspects of the game,
Framerate, stability, popups, LoDs not workign correctly.
The actual state of the "last gen" versions(despite being asked just WEEKS prior by investors specificaly about those version and them saying "we dont see any problems")
@@weberman173 Nah, plenty of things promised that were not delivered. Videos out there showing evidence of this.
Having both you and grylls suddenly on screen at once took me so unbelievably off guard, well done ahah
The no music in the credits at all after it starts the blind squirrel credits happening at the same time as the “quality assurance manager” scrolls by is the best irony I’ve ever seen.
I still love how, with a better operating system and cpu and stuff, they somehow managed to make the game worse and load slower
porting a game is not just how powerful the console is but also its system architecture. the ps3 is a good example of this despite being more powerful than the xb360 the ports and multi plats were worse cause the cell was harder to use and with out using it the ps3 was weaker. better is not the main thing for porting, similar is, a similar console with enough power is easier than a more powerful console thats completely different.
Gamefreak: "First time?"
23:05 fun fact, in most modelling software - for example: Blender, 3DS Max, and Maya, they all contain a smoothing algorithm where a model is automatically smoothed out. while hard edges need some work to keep them sharp, it would have likely been very easy to take the Wii model and simply sub-devide it into a smother model, possibly without having to change texture maps even. Work like that could easily be done within a matter of hours at most. as for textures... I mean, it's fairly flat shaded, so...
Not enough people truly understand that the DS version of Colors might actually be the better game. Fast and enjoyable 2D level design that keeps the boost formula from Rush. Multiple paths and even Metroidvania like backtracking with the wisps and Red Star Coins. And they don’t forget about the rest of the cast with special missions. Plus, it’s paved way better with 2 acts per world.
Yes!! Plus having more sonic characters appear throughout was pretty neat, nice way to incorporate them without massively increasing the worklaod
Yep. In fact it seems the canon events are a mix of the wii and DS versions as the mother wisp is in team sonic racing, so play the DS version instead
Another of those enlighten Sonic Colors DS fans, lets go
DS Colours also had a Super Sonic final boss.
“It’s easy to say, ‘they’ll make it better,’ but will they? How? They’ve already shown they have shown they have no idea how to design a functional UI and they can’t even spellcheck their manual, it’s just laziness.”
Rimmy on Warno
Based on past Sonic game behind the scenes shit, I’d call it crunch and not laziness. But if Sega upper management wasn’t going to give the team the time they needed before release to fix anything, I doubt they’ll give the team much time after either.
"I'll make Sonic green!" Woah, slow down there, Ken Penders!

Oh thank you for clarifying.
1:42 this right here
It's one of the sole reasons that I love the xenoblade and Zelda games
Yes they have bugs
But they don't stop you from enjoying a game. They only release the game when it's ready. They get quality of life patches later down the line, or smaller bugs that people found out. They don't rush a game out.
Xenoblade 2 had half of the team working on a totally different game, it was their first time making a game for the switch, and it still turned out great. They were making a dlc at the time too and it's upsetting that fucking SEGA can't do a remake of a popular game right, when Monolith did a new game from scratch with 40 people give or take
What the hell
Nintendoes what seg-can't, nowadays.
Also, it SHOULDN'T be an excuse to release unfinished games, then wait for "patches."
EDIT: Well, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet exists, annndd....oof.
Sega didn't exactly do the remaster themselves though
I honestly disagree, I'm perfectly fine with games being patched after the fact.
@@ctpp64 They reviewed it, they approved it, they released it, they might not have made the "remaster" themselves, but they are 100% responsible for the state it was released in, they saw the buggy, broken state the game was in and said "Good enough, ship it out".

RadicalSoda, you’re too kind.
I know right? that thumbnail ROCKS
I thought about this. If this game wanted to be Ultimate, the DS port would also be remade, except the Wisp minigames at the start of each world which needed the touchscreen. It would be nice for people, like me, who grew up with it to have a remake

@@alchemistofsteel8099 that would be like 9 acts per level, I dont think that would have gone over well.

TY Radicalsoda for making this cool and funny review, as awful of a port Sonic colours ultimate is, I still had a fun time cause colours was the first sonic game I ever played and gives me so much nostalgia, that and some of the stuff that isn’t liked is stuff I don’t find bad that and I was real lucky with the glitches and bugs, as I didn’t run into a lot of them, that and I thought the game looked fine and enjoyed the remixed soundtrack. Anyways this is definitely one of my favourites that you have done. Despite how sad you must have felt cause u never wanted to complain about sonic, glad sonic frontiers is looking better and better and is just generally looking real good and fun to play. Before and as I was watching these reviews and still now my mental health has been getting worse and worse but despite that I was having a big laugh and good time watching your vids like always, so TY.

AND now this is what Colors on other consoles will always look like. Also the "original" music option they added doesn't change Terminal Velocity or the final battle's theme back, it just removes the new remixes in the other worlds that replaced repeat tracks. Thanks SEGA
Your reviews have the same quality as the 2010’s reviews. You have characters that you put in your videos that are actually really funny. I have actually laughed at jokes in a recent review. Great job!
Oh, and you still have the original intro which I loved.
One thing I’m disappointed that Colors didn’t do is that they didn’t take the Mother Wisp boss fight from the DS port and put it in the remake. That would’ve been so fun to play. A huge missed opportunity
To those that say one shouldn't nitpick, consider the phrase "Death by a thousand cuts."
This is by far the BEST appearence of bear gryls in the entirety of Radicalsoda canon, I fuckin love it, he is so funny and consistent and IN CHARACTER
I love how the model of tails you used didn't move at all until it sudenly did
I honestly think your a comedic genius when it comes to reviewing these games you have so much passion for. Never fails to make me laugh.
I laughed myself to tears at the Schming Dingleson bit. Oh that was brilliant.
i'll never be able to forgive Colours Ultimate for how much it fucked up people's perceptions of the original game. The fandom is already starting to view Colours in a less positive light (which i completely get with how the levels are split into 6 acts for seemingly no reason, the overabundance of 2d and the story/writing), but i still think the original release of Colours is still one of Sonic's better outings. If Ultimate is the only perception or opinion you have on the game, then please give the original Wii (and DS!) version(s) a chance, it definitely has its shortcomings but it's still a great Sonic game.

They completely fucked it up and now who knows if we'll ever get a chance to play a decent version of this game, other than the original.
The very sad thing about Sonic Colors is that the superior version in gameplay isn't even the big Wii one, but the DS version, which had a different story, 3 main stages per area with 3 side quests, and some pretty good and different Bosses
Wisps on the DS are unlocked one by one as you enter an area for the first time, having to catch them midway through their movement as they move around in a way simillar to the power they give you - except the Purple Void, which teleports around in its minigame
And the sidequests are actually pretty neat, having some extra character as well as featuring friends and foes from several of the previous games as well, with things such as a race against Shadow or Omega, a Ring Hunt for Rouge and whatnot, it's kinda neat
That, and if you finish all 3 levels in an area and complete all 3 missions the area's visuals change to the "Saved Area" mode, with all the fanfare going and a full arrangement of the zone's music
Oh, and Bosses, in the DS there's a way to kill it normally, and a way to kill it faster in a Cool way by dealing damage to the boss with the Boost first, and then using the special Color Wisp you get from that not just at the right time, but also in the right way! With no bosses repeating it leads to some good stuff, like Rocketting the shit out of the Starlight Carnival boss and just going Straight through the bastard; or devouring the Asteroid Coaster boss with the ever growing Purple Void, starting with a few pieces and rings and then growing enough to just to devour rings by the hundreds, eating the trailer's compartments and eventually eating even the main ship's hood! Letting you deal extra damage and have a look at the fully animated engine under it for example!
In shorts: Sonic Colors for the DS is just, the Superior Game
Got to love how you do collabs... just taping a pic of their face onto your face for a bit
That was hilarious. Honestly this is underrated, I actually haven’t got any of these issues expect for the audio mixing
Nice pfp
I genuinely think this is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen - every single joke hits so perfectly
Random person walking by and seeing the back half of Bear Grylls protruding from the window:
wait what? you got a time stamp
Thanks for putting this out, I was getting excited for Frontiers again and I'm glad I have a reminder to expect shit again cause it's sega and you cannot trust them.
That is honestly sad considering how the interview from tgs shows how serious sonic team is taking frontiers like they legit wanna make a good game especially since in the interview it mentions izuka had to make sure uppermanagment didn't make the game release early since they weren't happy it wasn't done yet
@@mephilisthedarkelijahramat182 wow thats news to me 😅
@@Wulframe look up the tgs interview it's really interesting
frontiers is different this time to be fair
stay excited for frontiers, dont let a youtuber force you to change your mind
Frontiers is a mainline game, those dont typically release buggy anymore.
New Zealand Jon tron. Literally his voice with an New Zealand accent. If Jon makes an animated series, I hope he casts you instead of playing himself for the purpose of a joke
She's something horrifically sad *AND* funny that from the title and thumbnail alone, I had no idea what sonic game you were referring to.
(Why did autocorrect change There's to She's?)
@@henryapplebottom7231 autocorrect am I right 🤣
Somebody put the 'ass' in 'quality assurance'.
I’m with the guy above this comment. How the fuck did they unfinish a finished game?
I love the thirteen seconds of silence before he spoke all of our minds in one single sentence.
