Please be 60fps. Please be 60fps.
What does that even mean? I mean ok with Rage you have an engine that changes detail levels dynamically to keep at a certain framerate but on the PC frame rates are generally not fixed or constant. Depending on your PC this game will either run at an acceptable framerate or it wont... It's not a reference to Rage, it's a reference to Sonic. The old school Genesis games all ran at 60fps (well 60i, at any rate), whereas the newest games are all at 30fps. The difference being that in a twitchy game like Sonic, 60fps is notably smoother and easier to control.
Sega hasn't confirmed whether Generations will be 60fps or not. I'm hoping that it will be, or alternatively that it will be an easy hack to run it at 60fps like SWTFU. Because it's almost guaranteed that Sega will cap the frame rate at 30fps on the PC if that's what it runs at. |

I'm sure there are dads that game on PC and would buy this game for their son/ daughter so their kids can game on PC as well.
That's kinda why my son has a Wii in his bedroom and we have a PS3 in the lounge. At 9 his actually got no interest in this latest sonic - but is only just getting old enough to be trusted on my PC. Why is it small boys can't sit still and play - they always have to jump up and down, spin on chairs crashing them into the tower, walk away with the headset still on their head etc etc. It's not just my son - it's all his mates too, on a console it's hilarious - especially when they start jumping up and down and kicking without realising. Strangely never seen a girl do it (my 2 or their friends). |

Like it matters - surely if your able to update a gfx drivers you've outgrown Sonic. I have the original couple on emulators on a couple of different systems - that's more than enough in case I wake up drenched in sweat thinking "I MUST PLAY SONIC".
I can't really see this getting many sales.

| There's always the unfortunate possibility that they lock the framerate at 30 FPS. I suspect this will be a rather half-assed port. |
