SEGA's Compromise for Sonic Generations
Well, looks like in the end we won! ...Kind of. Still, this beats losing the original version of Sonic Generations!

The Biggest ROM Hacking Site FALLS! What Now?
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.5 месяцев назад
You'll be surprised to find out that this video is NOT about Sonic! It is about a recent event involving the shut down of popular ROM hacking mainstay romhacking.net, as well as controversies involving a potential alternative to that website. Before commenting, I advise doing your own research, by using the same sources I've used, if not more. If you've found other sources that could provide si...

SEGA Should Stop Delisting Sonic Games
Просмотров 13 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In this video, I'll be talking of a phenomenon SEGA has unleashed with the release of Sonic Origins, at the detriment of fan remaster Sonic 3: Angel Island Revisited, it being the delisting of legacy releases. I'll also be describing how such a phenomenon could impact Sonic Generations, should the release of SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS result in the delisting of its legacy version. Find me here!...
I've Been Too Harsh With the Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 Remakes

Those who have been around me in some circles probably knew of my prior distaste for the 2013 remakes of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. Some of it lingers, but it was definitely exaggerated. Thank you for watching! I recently upgraded my sound setup, so I felt like giving it a spin with this video! Let me know what you think!

Sonic 1 - Score Rush (REV01) - Developer Playthrough
I can't believe this is your first playthrough This gameplay is 10000000X times better than any other 1st gameplays i saw This is the first time i see someone actually using their brain instead of insulting the game and just talking to the chat and not giving any attention to the game and in the end they say : "yUp sOnIc cD iS MiD" Your so goated bro lol as a sonic cd worshiper.. My first playthrough wasn't as near as good as this. I saw glimps of this stream in the " sonic cd: the unsung masterpiece " documentary on youtube, and i wanted to watch this so bad 😂 You earned a SUB❤❤❤
Sonic 3 & tenna movie Now on PS4
First one
The sonic and knuckles parts will be much more of tenna new stuff,and the death egg will be most crazy stuff
gee thanks for causing the new delisting
Who said you needed the steam rom? Find it somewhere else
As someone who was staff at RHDN and saw the nonsense that went on for years and years, Gideon's assessment is more than a bit lacking and let's be open, he was rarely ever actually on the site doing work like the rest of us. NC and others were just tired of the constant drama, much of it caused by the staff that were supposed to be trustworthy. As it turned out, they weren't. What a shocker. Seriously, who saw that coming? I'm really sad to see RHDN go, but happy for NC as he now gets to leave all the worthless drama and backstabbers behind him. Edit: 6:24 Also, the drama surrounding the HomeBrew situation was NOT a misunderstanding. It was a mistake by a certain staff member to approve something labeled as HomeBrew when it contained copyrighted and trademarked Capcom content that was blatantly infringing in nature. I was the one who took it down per legal statue and RHDN policy. The situation snowballed behind the scenes, thus the announcement. What was intended to bring clarity ended up being misunderstood by those reading it(because context is seemingly hard to follow) and made their typical voices heard. NC then decided that HomeBrew was never really the scope of RHDN anyway and disabled submissions for it going forward. The existing HomeBrew was left intact. That's when the attacks on the site began. That incident is what started the chain of events that brought RHDN down. One mistaken submission approval and bunch of "people" complaining about something RHDN and NC never had any control over. For the record, RHDO/RomHackPlaza had nothing to do with RHDN's shutdown. Anyone who says it did is either completely ignorant or lying.
They should also stop censoring
Speed Shoes Green Hill Zone sounds like the TeraDrive rotation demo version
Can't wait for Sonic 3 Score Rush
what's the tempo used combined with the regular tempo to make these?
RHDO litterally Encouraged the SDoS, PRAISED IT when Brett bragged, OWner shit Talking RHDN and telling Brett Goodjob, ALL ADMINS JOINING IN, Your Right Brett Alone isnt the cause THE ENITRE EFFING STAFF ARE.
Wonder where all those translation hacks will be from now on. The italian and hispanic people aren't this good in english or asian languages.
It would be cool if they could also add the delisted versions Sonic 1-3 and CD on steam and Xbox for the legacy collection bundle tbh, especially since the 360 versions are backwards compatibile on newer xboxes
Yes, I know! ruclips.net/video/catpxNvsRX8/видео.htmlsi=qwCrYlNmM-uHw85J
Im glad they recognize the modding community like this, they seem to be cool with them and maybe they even like it.
Awwwh yaaaay!!!! I love how SEGA actually listens sometimes!
I mean Nintendo would never. -w-
Just buy the superior versions dude. Who cares
Funny that it fell because of drama, not any big game company trying to get it down.
This is horrible news. Years of romhacks and resources. This site was the gateway drug of romhacks
this sounds weird but what is the link to your rom hacks?
I am considering opening up a website where you'll find all of my most important ROM hacks in one place. This will come with the release of Giovanni's Level Pack 2. Until then, they are spread across various Sonic hacking forums, most prominently SSRG.
@@giovannidotgen ok thanks
Gideon knows absolutely nothing about WordPress and what can it do. It can certainly organize and display millions of entries without breaking a sweat. He's just being ignorant. I'm sorry for the people who just takes his word as fact.
Sonic Generations has NOT been delisted on PS3 as of today. If you have a PS3, GRAB IT. Accessing the PS3 store is a little harder these days as Sony requires some extra steps, but it is still available on that platform. Just look up guides on how to get your PS3 online in 2024, (it is 100 percent official, Sony is still operating the PS3 store at this time) and remember to get at least 25 dollars in gift cards so you can add funds to your console to purchase the game (Adding funds via credit or debit is no longer supported, and adding them via Sony's website is a nightmare if you dont have a payment method already set up)
I mean it also hasn't been delisted on steam. You can still buy it in a bundle.
thats cool though. rom hacking is stupid. go out there and make your own damn games for a change, theres only so many tools for that now.
nah sometimes, you like a game so much, you want to see some of your ideas *in* that game it's also a nice way to express oneselves creatively while also not having to make a whole other game
@@giovannidotgen grab the mona lisa and scribble your own shit on it then. dedicate a quarter of your life to something that isnt, and never will be, yours. ah yes 'creative expression'.
nah but i will grab sonic games and make whatever i want of them with them for the fun of it
@@giovannidotgen yes they started doing that in the 90s turning mario into a walking dick and whats not. havent we moved on? no?
Every single romhack is much better at being creative, innovative and complicated to make than all the creatively bankrupt, cheaply made, ad-filled, microtransaction hell indie trash.
lmao i went to the site's forums and it's a bunch of right-wing idiots. they deserve this and i hope the site's former owner can move on to better things.
Thankfully there are other sites for hacks, but this still sucks😢
I get it. I've run a service before. I had about 45 users in a small community. When I was done with the game that my service supported, I didn't want to keep working on my project. It was also kind of my baby, and I didn't want to just give it away to anybody. I get where NC is coming from. But when you have a staff and you are the central pillar of an entire subculture... You have to be a steward.
Well, i hope all of these [million dollar corporations] can start translating their games now
never!!
they're so upset that we can just change an old game instead of buying a new one. thats the REAL reason romhacking was attacked. nintendo was definitely behind this one.
As far as I know, there is no evidence suggesting Nintendo or any other company known for similar anti-consumer conduct was behind RHDN falling, with most testimonies pointing to inner management being at fault.
@@giovannidotgen come on man, they pull the same dei stuff, take down innocent fangames, and dmca ost channels. nintendo is a gambling company. dont forget that. they are literally yakuza.
and need i bring up nintendo vs galoob? the whole reason they got mad at that was because you could technically use that tech to create brand new games with a bit of hex editor know-how.
If this was true, nintendo would always shutdown sites like metroidconstruction and smwcentral. The reason of rhdn shutting down, was incompetence
@@marcusbullock630 "dei" stop being weird
I really want to thank you for taking the time to research all of this yourself and creating this video!! I was hoping someone would eventually make a video uncovering and explaining everything, but wow this one came much faster than I ever expected! The amount of misinformation that spread has been quite insane. I really, really appreciate having a voice of reason out there!
Kando, you've done some excellent work! There were those at RHDN behind the scenes that wanted to ban you. I was not one of them and did my best to try to encourage you while upholding policy and nudge you in the right directions, but at the end of the day I had no control over other staff.
@@lexluthermiester Thank you!! I always try my best to make sure I'm advocating for romhackers and users alike, and I always have the best intentions! I really do appreciate hearing that you had my back, that does mean a lot to me :)

Good info. I've left a comment below with info as to what actually happened for some clarity.
360 version of Sonic generations just got nuked off the Xbox storefront
I'm aware. I hope I don't have to make a part 2 to this video!
@giovannidotgen looks like it's not getting permanently removed after all, though it seems like Segas gonna stick the old version in a legacy collection bundle for $60
@@waspennator beats not having it available!
This is, without a doubt, a cool level pack.
The FlashKit Programmer MD from Krikzz is even cheaper. Very handy gadget.
Sadly is the industry standard, look at Beyond good and evil. the old versions of Metro 2033 Hitman 1 and 2 reboot. all pre GTA 4 games. the list goes on and on.
Well there's only one thing we can do now and that's to sell the Seven Seas with me brother. 🗿
Ottimo video complimenti! Spero fortemente che il tuo canale cresca ancora di più
You know, you don’t really need the steam port of Sonic 3 and Knuckles to play Sonic 3 air. Since it’s just an emulated rom, you can just use a rom, whatever you were getting the rom from the original cartridge or downloading it from the internet.
You are correct, that was a script error, which was written before I had even read the S3AIR error message for when the ROM is missing, which reinforces your very point. I apologize.
@@giovannidotgen I’m just saying, no need to apologize
#SEGASTOPDELISTINGGAMES SPREAD THE HASHTAG
This guy sounds 1:1 to fundy
I think Sega should relist the Steam versions since Sonic Origins is no longer new.
The thing is, these games were the only way to play the series on multiple platforms such as Mac and PS3 where Sonic Origins isn't even available even if I payed $40 for it on steam. It's like they're encouraging piracy at this point. Screw you SEGA.
That's why certain websites that preserve those type of lost media are necessary, because if it wasn't for that, basically nobody else would be able to play Sonic 3 AIR besides the ones who bought S3&K on steam. And to be honest, Sonic origins remaster of S3&K fucking sucks.
the main reason why they did it is specifically BECAUSE of sonic 3 most likely. they haven't delisted sonic generations yet, meanwhile they delisted sonic 1 2 3 and cd long before the game came out. They want a version of sonic 3 that won't get them sued to re-release.
And nothing of value was lost. If most of these games weren't shitty, they wouldn't get delisted in the first place.
I remember when Dark souls remastered came out, I had my digital copy of the 360 version in my xbox account, I bought it for 5$, then when the remaster came to xbox one I kid you not I booted the game and it told me "Do you own this game?" then it deleted it from my hardware and it was removed from store, they stole it from me an many others, they wanted us to buy the remaster for full price once again, I just went to my pc and pirated it, installed mods and had a much better time with it than with the original and the remaster. Its happening all over again. "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" - Gabe Newell
SEGA is gonna to follow in Nintendo footsteps
Great video! Your voice sounds amazing. Can’t wait to see more from you in the future!
