on it. though he hasn't answered my other pesky questions (like how far they are in remaking the rest of the zones). But he could answer this question.

Probably, but even if it runs OK in WINE, it's always nicer to be able to run it natively without having to load a Windows API layer.

Yes. There's also the concern of performance. I've run "Platinum Rated Apps" in WINE and they would have performance problems.

I didn't say it made the game better or worse. Just play the original sonic adventure and you'll see he looks a lot shorter in game than in sonic 360 or Sonic 4. Sort of a mid-point between his original look and more recent look. It's really dramatic if you look at Sonic Adventure 1 compared to SA2.

there's a reason the graphics aren't that good in the games sega makes you know. theres no point in having that much detail when you fly past everything at 100mph. plus i downloaded the demo it looks cool but its not more fun than playing the original sonic 2

Actually I always slow down when I play Sonic games to look at the amazing detail they put in the levels, so I think the Fan remix is for me. We have yet to see what Sonic 2 HD will look like though.

I know this comment is from awhile back, but... technically only part of Sonic 4 has been released.

Now, Sonic Colors was released in full, and THAT game is awesome.
