How come one of the worse Sonic game has a 10/10 soundtrack?
>>
You ca say this about most Sonic games actually.

06 was horrendous and even it still had a good OST.

Megaman is pretty similar, even the most detested entires still have great music.

>worse

Sonic Blast still exists. Is Sonic R on pc compatible with analog joysticks? Most of games with bad controls can actually get pretty playable with the correct device.
>>
>>3005127
Not sure how different it is, but I've played Sonic R on Gamecube and having analog didn't really make it much better.
>>
>>3005119
You can't call your game "Sonic" and then have shit audio.
>>
>>3005148
Not Retro, but Boom had a pretty bland and uninspired Soundtrack
>>
Nice link faggot
>>
>>3005030
Except it was a good game though
>>
But Sonic R is great once you get the hang of the controls.
>>
>>3005382
not really

But all sonic games have good soundtr-- ah shit forgot sonic spinball exists
>>
>>3005431
Don't forget Chronicles
>>
>>3005990
That shit's so bad it doesn't even count
Plus it wasn't developed by any of the sega studios
>>
>>3005428
This is quite good. Very contemporary (reminds me of Baby D, The Real McCoy, etc). And that arpeggio is straight out of Right Beside You.
>>
>>3006023
But the soundtrack was composed, at least in part, by the same guy as Sonic R. (The other guy was the main composer for Mass Effect, dunno what kind of split the two had though)
>>
>>3005030
Well Sonic 3D Blast wasn't that good either and still had great music

>>
>>3006065
Unless Richard Jacques was very uncomfortable with producing music with hardware limitations, I doubt he was the one responsible for this fucking mess:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o47N-aYd08
>>
>>3006072
I'm confused. I was talking about the terrible music in Chronicles, not the god tier music in 3D. Perhaps you linked the wrong song?

As for Chronicles, I heard it was a combination of the composers (either Jacques or that other guy, not sure) being unable to figure out the software they were using to make the DS music, and also that Bioware's contract with Sega expired midway through development so they basically slapped horrible placeholder MIDI music into the game and released it in alpha.
>>
>>3006095
Either way still sounds unprofessional.
>>
>>3006127
Yeah. Both are good composers though, so I can only really put it down to the game being released unfinished.
>>
>>3005030
It's not a bad game at all really, it's just severely lacking in content. I bought it at launch and it really pushed the boundaries of the Saturn technically - the transparency effects are particularly impressive.
>>
This Rayman game played kinda like it.

Nigga yes I linked the wrong music and deleted the post and then reposted it
Look at it goddamn
Video games
>>
Can you feel the sunshine, does it brighten up your day XD
>>
>>3005030
The whole OST is pretty good but not that best on the Saturn.

SEGA used to not cheap out on OSTs.
>>
>>3005431

But spinball has a great soundtrack. Not main series quality (which is GOAT tier) but still great.

Does this game control any better with the saturn wheel? There were a bunch of Saturn racing games that absolutely needed the wheel, and I've only ever played R on the Gems collection.

Who knows, maybe it somehow becomes a decent game with the right peripheral?
>>
>>3006068
Rusty Ruins, Diamond Dust and Volcano Valley are legit better on Saturn than Genesis. Same for the special stages and true final boss, can't say the same for the rest.

Like the GG ost, can't believe I completed this shitty game many times as a kid.
>>
>>3008282
Everyone on this planet will admit to that being the worst track to ever grace a Sonic game.
>>
>>3008306
The gamegear version is so crappy that it blows my mind they even released it.
>>
>>3008318
They made worse things.
>>
>>3006158
Why did they make this game? I can't fathom it.

Not that it's bad or anything... Just who thought "Rayman... Racing?"
>>
>>3005156
Boom was also outsourced, so go figure
>>
>>3010412
I heard this theory it was supposed to be multiplayer modes included with 6th gen ports of Rayman 2.
>>
>>3010412
With Mario Kart everyone thought they could milk their platform hero into a successful racing game.

Surprised there was no Bubsy Racing t b h.

Shattered Crystal had some good track courtesy of Richard Jacques same guy who did Sonic R and 3D Blast(but his cinematic ones are just ill-fitting for Sonic)

NO
NO
NO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They only credited him because they re-used his music from his older work

He did not work on the game himself...stop spreading this misinformation

It was the hacks at bioware who fucked up the music badly

Not even close when shit like Sonic 4 Soundtrack and Chronicles exist

That track is not that bad...though it's more a meme track than anything
Either way even if you don't like that track the rest of the soundtrack is great
>>

There are much worse Sonic games. Sonic R is decent.

Name one flaw

The controls, the lack of stages, the character balance, the lack of modes, the ai, the emerald system.
