Yeah, the cuts they made to make it work are just too egregious.

 

I installed it on the Deck, and although it's not currently supported, it works perfectly decently... but it's impossible to get 60fps on it.  It's not even close, mostly hovering in the mid to low 30s.  Even lowering the settings doesn't get much performance back, so you basically have to just lock it at 30.

 

Feels good though and looks great comparatively to Switch lol.

wtf at the Series S version. Capped at 30FPS and runs at a lower resolution than the Xbox One X version   

 
Like I said in another thread, Series S was a mistake.

Whatever the next Switch is, it still won't be up to the task.

Series S will make a great PC some day. But it's one of several factors fucking up the current gen.

oof 30 fps. Even 60 feels kinda bad these days.

Well, for the record, I think both the Switch 2, and the Steam Deck could run the game much better than it currently does.

 

I think there's a lot of optimization that could be done with this engine yet.. so I wouldn't really use it against any platform that can't run it well.

Sega released a Sonic 06 port as well? Damn, can’t believe it flew under the radar.

Its funny when the lemmings come crawling out from under their rocks to try and take shots at Switch  and try to be a relevant oart of the system war.

 

Here's another shitty Sonic game that nobody here is going to play and it runs poorly on switch lolololol but at least the sheep have had games this year. Ehat has xbox had? Seriously what have you had? Nothing Not a single fucking thing  not even the annual Forza rehash to hide behind.

 

You're still the bottom of the food chain.
