10:45 I know this is 3 years old, but I don't think that's fair. Sonic Team put a LOT of effort into 06. That much is clear. The main issue is that it needed another year in the oven, story notwithstanding.
I actually loved Sonic Blast when it first came out. Still do. I’m gonna give this DX a chance. I wished that Sega would have done a follow up with this engine.
I've played 3D Blast right before playing the director's cut, and while playing the Director's Cut I found myself actually enjoying 3D Blast in a form (as opposed to the playthrough of the original, which while there were glimmers of good ideas, was very flawed). In other words, oh god I'm actually enjoying 3D Blast (in a sense). Right now going for 100% on the Director's Cut because I find it fun.
I have yet to play this, but just the thought of an original developer of the game going back just to make this kinda eh game something better is really awesome!
As a racing game to play with other people, its bad. but when you try to go for the emralds and extra characters, its alright makes for a really fun game to speedrun
Here's a funny coincidence, listen to any of my reviews and you sound just like me. :P Was wondering if you'd want to do some sort of collab btw, your content is great and it'd be funny to see if people can't tell us apart. :P
Kinda wish DX took out flicky collecting like "super sonic in 3d blast" did. if there's anything that makes the game much more enjoyable, it's not having to stop and defeat every single enemy you come across.
Ok I know I'm really late, but Forces completely remade the Hedgehog Engine didn't use it super well but still Introduced a Completely new Gameplay Style, and was focused on FPS over graphical Fidelity, and Sonic 06 was Entirely Sega's fault not Sonic Team's Fault, and it's not fair to say Sonic Team just doesn't care, just it takes a lot to make a Good Sonic Game they don't exactly have the best resource, and has a really bad reputation
Sonic 3D Blast looks more impressive than Star Fox, and Mario Rpg to me, and I'm more of a Snes fan saying that, but imagine a attempted Castlevania, or a Secret of mana type game in this 3D style they would of looked ahead of their time I think, and it could of been possible if the games weren't too long.
it was fun for one play through. I liked the game as a kid. I really never noticed how the token collecting aspect was designed until now. kinda a waste in the old game
The perfect directors cut would let you choose between the Genises and Saturn version in the option menu along with what this mod would add to the game
Truth be told, while I was never able to enjoy 3D Blast (the sprawling layout of the maps often left me feeling lost and unable to regroup at a recognizable landmark/point of interest), I did always feel like a new Sonic game done in the isometric style would be really cool. Especially if they could iron out the inherent flaws that come from the isometric viewing angle.
Marius Urucu It ended up looking like it! I recreated the Emerald Hill sprited to look like Hilltop Zone from S2 but it definitely ended up more like Hilltop Heights inadvertantly!
I'd say 06 had ambition, but they didn't seem to care enough about the game to let the devs take their time on it. It probably wouldn't have been amazing, but I think they had *some* kind of vision there. Idk about Forces tho.
I think Sonic Team should take a cue from Mr. Burton. They can fix 06, Secret Rings, Black Knight and 3DS version of Lost World (mainly on the Special Stages), but we all know all too well that they couldn't give two shits about their most beloved franchise. As long as they make any kind of game and slap 'Sonic' on the box then it will be bought, that's their old tried and true, but fucked up, mentality.
you will probably never see this but i really hate the whole "Its still 3D Blast so its still bad" BS. The whole point of this directors cut is to not only improve the game but also change the overall opinion on the game with this improvement.
I'm gonna have to heavily disagree with you. For me at least, sonic 3D blast did change my mind even though I hated the original. The whole point of this was to make people like 3D blast and not hate it. I think people who didn't like the original will change their minds. I think it's a bit strong to say it won't change people's minds because that was the whole point of this project. And I think it succeeded
Being honest, the way you constantly talk about Sonic Team seems like you mostly trying to make them look bad without any way of proving your point besides baseless speculation, which would only lead to more problems. This is not defending Forces at all, that can be criticised on its own, but coming to conclusion about real people you never meet can cause a lot of problems and all honestly it was not even needed in this video at all.
James Williams I mean it in a personal level. Just because you dont like their work doesnt mean it justify to attack them or similar. Its basic common sense.
I believe most of the antimosity torwards sonic team comes from sonic mania. the fact that a bunch of fans made the highest rated sonic game in over a decade is at the very least noticable. it does sorta bring up the question as to why sonic team cant really bring in that success.
I think people are starting to ignore that Colors and Generations are great games too. Besides, I'm the only one who found unrespectful to call the Mania team nothing but fans? Whitehead has been working for SEGA since 2009 and others were already working on their own projects, they should count as official developers now, even if you call them just fans, they were the most competent fan developers out there, no one has ever been close to their level. But regardless of that, it doesn't justify the aggressive behavior when they can always be criticized in a profecional way.
the blue frog but the thing about colors and generations was that while okay games, weren't amazing. they are considered more as "good sonic games" as opposed to just good games in general, at least by the masses but you're right, i should give whitehead more credit for his time at sega, he is more then just a fan. but he is still passionate as one, along with everyone else in the mania team. where the hostility comes from is that people dont feel sonic team has that same passon, working more as a obligation then anything else. things like forces do kinda prove this.
I'm not giving my opinion on those games to not make myself look like a bigot, but based on reception alone both Colors and Generations where received very well from the mess, even casual fans loved Colors and the only thing holding Generations back to get a critical acclaim from the mass it that was very nostalgia-driven but justified for what it was trying to do. I don't know if passion alone makes them better, It means nothing when you have no talent, which is why that passionated live action Sonic movie made by a fan was atrocious. And people that often ignore, is that it seems that Iizuka had more positive involvement in Mania based on interviews with Whitehead. I don't know if Forces prove that they have no passion, if anything it just baseless speculation, another speculation that is as valid is that Forces' development was a mess, like the fact that Forces was directed by Morio Kishimoto, known for making all of the low-budget Nintendo exclusive Sonic games like Secret Rings and Lost World instead of the actual director of Generations Hiroshi Miyamoto, apparently planning to have a Virtual Reality feature based on files found in the game but was later scrapped, the tone of unused content like dialogue found in the stage Null Spaces in places that are imposible to reach. Having to make the Hedgehog Engine 2 from 0, Infinite having 2 different kinds of backstories, rumors about how the game was mostly about the Avatar and more other reasons that make me believe that the only reason why Mania was as focused as it is was because for being a low-budget small game that never got a physical release and not just because of the passion, which I should point it that Mania got delayed and they still needed to patch a lot of bugs after launch. Of course, its all speculation and whatever happened doesn't justify Forces at all, as it should be criticized for what it no matter what happened behind the scenes. But claiming things about people we never personally meat and have no real proves is a very toxic behavior, and even if they really didn't care, it doesn't justify the hostility just because a video game was trash or whatever when all we need to do is give professional critisims. I was looking for a video talking about 3D Blast but what I got was a video that the only thing it does in spit on real people, even if it was not his intention. Sorry for the long comment.
Got a dislike from me for mentioning Sonic Forces. The hate has been done to death. If Sonic Heroes was made today, with this logic people would have declared it "the new sonic 06' " can't you see an average game when you see one?

Merry Christmas, Kazeblade! :3
Marius Urucu Merry Christmas!!
It feels weird that it is already two years the DX version is released.
AM I LITTERALLY THE ONLY EXISTING HUMAN BEING THAT LIKES SONIC R AND NOT JUST FOR COMEDIC PURPOSES?!
WRONG AGAIN! I'm still waiting for a Sonic R sequel, so many years later!!
As a racing game to play with other people, its bad.
but when you try to go for the emralds and extra characters, its alright
makes for a really fun game to speedrun
True, multiplayer isn't that great. Though doing 100% is fun and also speedy.
Not a fun game to complete, fun as hell in multiplayer. Kickass music too!
nah I really like Sonic R as well
Here's a funny coincidence, listen to any of my reviews and you sound just like me. :P Was wondering if you'd want to do some sort of collab btw, your content is great and it'd be funny to see if people can't tell us apart. :P
Knuckles sings a collab
Holy shit you do sound like him :l
YES FRAMERATER
Woah I never noticed that. Keep up the Framerate!
I'd love to see what he could do with Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex if he were to do what he did with Sonic 3D Blast
That'd be a dream. To have TWO games that deserve the moniker of "Crash Bandicoot 4."
This felt more like a Sonic 3D Review than a Sonic 3D DX Review lol
I came a bit too early, and the vid is at 360p. Gonna wait a bit, but I'm hyped whenever Kazeblade makes a video.
What?
Do you do these often?! These are amazing
Thank you for your videos man! Awesome and very well presented content. You're the best Sonic dude on youtube right now along with Cybershell
3D blast was the first sonic game and one of the first games i played. So, I like it because nostalgia
Trexfan9 same
8:35 I get dizzy everytime I play this game. Now that the camera was tweaked, should I try again?
my boi GameHut
Kinda wish DX took out flicky collecting like "super sonic in 3d blast" did. if there's anything that makes the game much more enjoyable, it's not having to stop and defeat every single enemy you come across.
Robert Verdugo Actually, he did! Time Attack Mode lets you run through the zones without picking up Flickies :)
Robert Verdugo, Other Than That Annoyance It's Actually A Great Game!

Been years since I played 3D blast but I remember it being decent fun. I'll have to try this out!
Sonic 3D Blast looks more impressive than Star Fox, and Mario Rpg to me, and I'm more of a Snes fan saying that, but imagine a attempted Castlevania, or a Secret of mana type game in this 3D style they would of looked ahead of their time I think, and it could of been possible if the games weren't too long.

Make a Saturn version of the Director's cut and release it on the Nintendo Switch along with the other Sega Saturn games.
The perfect directors cut would let you choose between the Genises and Saturn version in the option menu along with what this mod would add to the game
You can also get the patch for Directors Cut on Steam, and apply it to the steam copy of the game! Its a neat way to support Sega and use the mod!
Truth be told, while I was never able to enjoy 3D Blast (the sprawling layout of the maps often left me feeling lost and unable to regroup at a recognizable landmark/point of interest), I did always feel like a new Sonic game done in the isometric style would be really cool. Especially if they could iron out the inherent flaws that come from the isometric viewing angle.
I love those last words.
Okay, I want to ask something. Is the background you use in the videos from Hilltop Heights from Sonic Before the Sequel?
Marius Urucu It ended up looking like it! I recreated the Emerald Hill sprited to look like Hilltop Zone from S2 but it definitely ended up more like Hilltop Heights inadvertantly!
I think of 3D blast as the real sonic 4. I like the DX version a lot but I actually miss the controls of the original.
Um Kaze, is this hack available outside of the Steam Workshop? I do have an emulator with 3D Blast, and wonder if that would work with that.
So is the Steam version/DX version the Genesis version or the Saturn version?
I'd say that Sonic Team put a lot of effort into 06 and Forces, but I never played the former.
They put effort in an horrible and mediocre game?
I'd say 06 had ambition, but they didn't seem to care enough about the game to let the devs take their time on it. It probably wouldn't have been amazing, but I think they had *some* kind of vision there. Idk about Forces tho.
06 at least had the excuse for being rushed
Even Forces was rushed, 3 years for the engine 1 for the game itself
DX is short for deluxe not directors cut
Awesome Cave actually Jon named it director's cut.
For Sega at least, DX has meant Director's Cut, like with Sonic Adventure DX.
japzone I don't think so because the title screen reads "Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut"
This isn't your ordinary Director's Cut...It's a *DELUXE* Director's Cut!
You are a wise man my friend.
Where do I go to download this?
IMO this should've been done to the Saturn version.
That's legally harder. He did this mod to the steam version.
well you found yourself a new subscriber
I think Sonic Team should take a cue from Mr. Burton. They can fix 06, Secret Rings, Black Knight and 3DS version of Lost World (mainly on the Special Stages), but we all know all too well that they couldn't give two shits about their most beloved franchise. As long as they make any kind of game and slap 'Sonic' on the box then it will be bought, that's their old tried and true, but fucked up, mentality.
you will probably never see this but i really hate the whole "Its still 3D Blast so its still bad" BS. The whole point of this directors cut is to not only improve the game but also change the overall opinion on the game with this improvement.
These Levels need to be remade with a 3rd-person perspective instead of an isometric one.
That camera! Hurts my head.
I have the cartridge version of Director's Cut!
Gamehut 4lyfe!!!
So good if only the Saturn special stages were in😭😭😭
I'm pretty sure that would be hard to do.
I'm gonna have to heavily disagree with you. For me at least, sonic 3D blast did change my mind even though I hated the original.

Happy Jesus day
A voice like a creaking door.
What if someone did this for 06?
Idk
Sonic 3D blast XD
At the time
I didn't relies that adventure shared music with 3D Blast.

A polished piece of dirt is still a piece of dirt
ikagura Look who it is -_-
And?
ikagura “sonic was never good”
Sonic has never been good for years
ikagura Lmao!
Sonic Mania
Sonic Unleashed
Heroes
Adventure 1/2
Rush Duo
Colours Wii/DS
Advance 1/2/3
Generations
Need I say more?
Ugh... I don't get all the hype for this, it's still 3D Blast, so it's still gonna be kinda mediocre, but I admire the commitment though.
S H I N O B I its an improved version of 3d blast.
Toxin yea I know
Reboot Productions lol 😂
Try the "super sonic in 3d blast" rom hack
it takes out flicky collecting and makes the game way more enjoyable
It's a improvement of the game, physics change, less bugs, and super sonic, ect. It's supposed to make the game way more enjoyable.
Got a dislike from me for mentioning Sonic Forces. The hate has been done to death. If Sonic Heroes was made today, with this logic people would have declared it "the new sonic 06' " can't you see an average game when you see one?
Yeah but Forces isnt average, its mediocre.
oz pardo He said the effort put into it was comparable to Sonic 06 not that it's as bad as it. Also it is not average, it's barely playable at best.
