@Ls1389 @IDWPublishing Exactly! Like the translation itself and presentation look great, and to fumble that at the final hurdle… frustrating from the tech-side, and insulting to the artists they work with (even beyond Imada-san)

The app page blatantly just stem from asking an AI to ‘write a Sonic comic review/description’ given how they randomly mention other Sonic comic personnel and hallucinate a totally different story. The blogs don’t actually exist, either. Extremely poor stuff from @IDWPublishing

I’ve seen some people handwave this as ‘oh they’re using a template,’ but I don’t think a template would hallucinate an entirely different story for the book based purely off the name Absolutely ridiculous, and I feel for Imada-san given he’s had to put up with plenty already

@WorksOfMagic_ @Vhopps3 Yeah see, with Triple Trouble I was glad they added the 16:9 but could see why 4:3 might’ve worked, since it was actually designed akin to the other classic games - XG adding a boost function immediately flies in the face of 4:3, in the same way Advance 2 did

@Tracker_TD @Vhopps3 There's a reason Noah also took the bait of adding a 16:9 toggle to TT-16 Bit. Sure, the game has level design that works well enough at 4:3 (its good level design was made to work with that first and foremost), but he could only get universal praise from adding such a toggle.

Sonic XG is 4:3 because we designed the game to be 4:3. Accommodating the game to be in multiple aspect ratios requires way more work then you think. I'm sorry you don't like that choice but i would love to know how that compromises playability!
Tracker@Tracker_TD

I wonder if Sonic XG being 4:3 is a technical issue or an attempt at being nostalgic… I hope it’s not the latter, bc a) that would be a stupid reason to compromise playability and b) the Saturn could *do* widescreen; in fact, ST’s NiGHTS is one of the most noteworthy examples!

@Vhopps3 At any rate, it's your game, you can do what you want - I just think limiting the player's view because it's what old monitors did is a baffling choice that doesn't add anything and only detracts. There's a reason there's near universal praise for the Retro Engine's 16:9 upgrade.

@Vhopps3 I think you could make the argument that it's designed around 4:3 if it was designed akin to the original 4:3 Sonic games, but the focus on speed with aspects like the boost state would be far more fitting in a widescreen title - Advance 2 was criticised by the same logic.

@PaperSonicIdol It has extended camera anyway, which is just a worse version of the same thing.

@MoneyAlt800 @incubusyaoislop I’ve never liked extended camera - feels herky jerk, and in 2026 it just achieves what widescreen does in a worse way. There’s no aesthetic benefit to 4:3 over than perhaps as a nostalgia thing, and I still think that’s misplaced

@SSNTails The original, yes, but this is the 2026 version I’m talking about - it’d be like if SRB2’s latest version still only supported those CRT resolutions! 😅

@Tracker_TD It’s because when it came out, everyone was still rocking 4:3 CRTs.

@bisexualgenesis Given the focus on sheer speed with boost mode (and some of the level design I’ve seen in footage…), I’m not convinced XG really was designed with 4:3 in mind - and either way, if nostalgia is the reason it’s still a rather shoddy one.

@bisexualgenesis Widescreen monitors certainly weren’t common, but they did exist - and moreso, some games still had support for arbitrary ratios, bc even if not widescreen, other ratios like 5:4 did exist

@bisexualgenesis I’d argue semantics there - several of SEGA’s early PC titles were just Saturn or Mega Drive ports - but also it doesn’t really change my point either, there were early PC games that were capable of non 4:3 ratios too

@Tracker_TD its not supposed to be a saturn game, its supposed to feel like an early pc game.
