Why doesn't Sega want to sell us Sonic 3? There's

The Taxman port is coming.

Music rights I think

source?

I don't have the image on hand, but there was a dev picture for sonic mania. One computer screen had mania's title screen on it, the other had a blue sphere stage in widescreen.

>>4087559
there's a rumor going around that there's going to be a S3&K remake released alongside Sonic Mania
but it's only a rumor (based on that screenshot of the widescreen S3 special stage)

>>4087559
I like to think its because they moved their focus to working on Mania.

>>4087567
>Music rights I think
Also a possibility. Though they could easily just do a S&K Collection, and replace the relevant songs.

Didn't write michael jackson the music for it? I think there is some copyright issue with michael jacksons music. Just my assumption

>port
They're remakes, you retards. Taxman was remaking the games, not porting them.

>>4088325
I'd more call them Remasters. Remake implies an entirely new game that is based on the old one.

Theoretically speaking, would you guys be interested in a remaster of Saturn 3D Blast or another game like that? I'd consider it if they added some new extras or two.

It was discovered the Ice Cap music was not made by Jackson after all. Brad Buxer reused an unreleased song from his own band

Brad Buxer also co-composed Strangers in Moscow with MJ and used their music in the Sonic 3 credits. They also did Carnival Night.

sonic 3 has a lot more gimmicks that would make it harder to recreate than sonic 1 and 2.
personally i wouldn't be too fond of a sonic 3 hd because it still wouldn't have the all the "sonic 3 complete" romhack changes

how about completing sonic xtreme?or at least releasing a playable build
Sega saturn needs some attention ,its like the console doesnt fucking exist tot hem

>>4088376
How close to complete did any build of Xtreme ever get again? I'm not sure we're sitting on something like Star Fox 2 here.

>>4088381

Barely past the tech demo stage honestly, most of its development time was spent trying to build something that could run decently on the Saturn. The Point-of-View engine eventually got there but by that point they were way behind schedule. If you have a Saturn you can find the POV beta online and run it yourself, it's barely anything but it's all we'll get.

Supposedly a more complete version ran on the NiGHTS engine before that was shitcanned, that would be interesting to play.

>>4088419
Word on the street is that there's a build that was near complete.

The people who know don't want to talk (mainly Sega) and Chris is still quiet

I think it's a save issue.

>>4088720
Why would that be an issue?

>>4088337
Nah. That game just went to prove that Isometic games just don't work as platformers.

I'm happy with S3&K just the way it is. Sonic 3C filled any requirements I might have had for (sane) alterations to this masterpiece.

>>4088337
I'd like a complete genre-shifted remake of 3D Blast, by making it a 2D platformer like 1-3k, but keep the great music.

>>4088376

This is what I'd be interested in seeing completed. Hell, the Saturn in general needs homebrew love, to make up for what Sega never gave it.

>>4087567
I really hope not. The Jackson estate is notoriously stingy.

And the PC replacement soundtrack is pretty garbage by comparison.

>>4088376
Why is anyone interested in Xtreme? The early footage did not look very fun.
