The Worst Sonic Remaster Is Good Now?! | Sonic Colors Re-Rainbow Review 

Can't wait for you to cover SonicxShadow Generations after the game comes out.

Hey J, great video and once again I’m really happy you’re covering the fans who stepped up to improve some of Sega’s faults on Sonic games like P-06 and Sonic Colours Rainbow Edition. I really hope you’ll consider giving Sonic Forces Overclocked a look at too since its a HEAVY rehaul of Sonic Forces that significantly improves the plot and gameplay of the original game. Great video as always

Man I love your reviews J! Can’t wait to see how you feel about it Shadow Generations

being a Sonic fan spoils me sometimes. I get into another game series, and I'm like "what u mean that there's no mod to remove every single flaw with this game?"

Feels like Sonic is slowly becoming the new elder scrolls where the fans have to fix the issues with mods Not necessarily a bad thing but still

I never finished the Remaster

I would love to hear your thoughts on all of the DLC added to TMNT Shredder’s Revenge. It seemed like you really loved it when it first came out so I think it’ll be interesting to hear what you think of all the new added features. Just an idea to throw out

Busy holding my head guns shot myself*

Once again, fans do an better job making an Sonic game than Sega themselves.

The mod looks nice, but the launch (especially on Switch because that was all I had at the time,) but I’m still not rebuying this on Steam, I sold my Switch copy, and I’m not buying it again

Peak as always lol, btw I played this mod!

Always a good day when J uploads :}

I wish companies would stop doing shitty remasters and just do a simple fucking port job.

Too bad you can't add mods to consoles.

I actually never hated the remaster

I love your videos man but this is not the worst Sonic remaster at all

Sonic Colors is always awesome.

Re rainbowed sonic cycle anyone?

I thought colors ultimate came out in 2019 for some reason

The fun fact someone actually made AD make of this game that uses the sonic advanced 3 assets, and Level design needs a hell of a lot of work as there's too much Empty space between segments unfortunately, the game is not really finished, and it plays very poorly. It seems they couldn't get the speed right

Nice Video.

i played through it on xbox. i wanted the physical goods so i got it on xbox. i also have all achivementts ecept one cuz when i did it, i accidentally closeed the game and then i didnt wanna do it anymore. i cannot deny the flaws but me personally i had tons and tons of fun with this game. I personally had no issues with the game besides the water looking weird and the title screen bug where sonic shoes clip through.

Quit the remaster after 3 levels

It's on DS as Well

first but not first i love when sonic comes from this channel... thanks for content... good job!

Not all the remix music is bad

Fourth Edit: or third idk.

I wish Sega would actually properly fix this port of the game :/ I had a chance to chat with one of the original devs and it was pretty much a rush job. Very little time, few resources and no extension from Sega when it was clear that they didnt have enough time to polish it. Sega also gave them the bare minimum to get ONLY a few of the major issues patched before moving on, leaving the game buggy, unpolished and yet still on digital store fronts.

Hopefully Sonic×shadow isn't a terrible remaster like colors Ultimate was

The Sonic Generations remaster looks the same, that’s good. It’s fine as it is.

COOL VIDEO!!!

The cutscenes always bothered me about Sonic Colors even back when it first came out. I hate how dull Sonic and Tails's Colors looked. This mod is truly amazing

0:14 I still say Sonic Unleashed was unfairly poorly received. Its just as much a good a goid as Colors.

Sega: Makes bad games Sonic fans: “Fine we’ll do it ourselves”

Why the Dolphin footages are natively 16 : 10, because they have black bars on the sides.

Hey J, great video also I was wondering are you gonna cover Sonic x Shadow generations: dark beginnings

SEGA having a Steam sale just days before SHC 2024 is amazing, makes all these mods so much more accessible to us broke bitches. I only wish Origins Ultrafix had its SHC 2024 release a few days early like Re-Rainbow so I didn't just have to drop $12 on Origins and have it sitting completely untouched in my Steam library while I wait for the first date of the contest.

Horrable fucking name re rainbow? Fuck, it was right there too! RECOLORED bro😭

Megaman zero/zx 5 years later when?

this was a release i had my eye on for a while, and it really rocks. blu and the team did a phenomenal job

No way the fans had to remaster a remaster. You can't make this up!

Sonic fans do what they do best taking some of the worst games and turning them into goats

Sonic unleashed needs a remaster

God the original release of Sonic Colors Ultimate still pisses me off because Sega trusted Blind Squirrel Games with the remaster since the Bioshock collection was well received and they most likely thought "these guys should be able to handle it", only for them to fuck up so much.

Ultimate was my first experience with Colors, but my biggest issues were with Colors itself, not the shit Ultimate messed up. It's crazy to me that game was ever considered better than Unleashed.

I don't understand, did I get some secret upgraded version of Sonic Colors: Ultimate? Because I didn't have _any_ of the issues you mentioned, and it's not like I have a super-high-end computer or anything, it's pretty average. I thought the game was great, I beat it 100% on Steam un-modded without too much difficulty.

Don't know how I feel about the Unleashed models in Colors. They look oddly flat without the advanced lighting Unleashed had.

Finally it's worth something. The mod should be integrated officially.

I have played both, and after a couple months of patches, SCU was fine. But no one wants to pay $60 MSRP for fine, especially for a texture and resolution bump of a wii game. The one thing that SCU has over SC Wii is the perfect homing attack, which helps SC out a ton because of how stingy SC is with boost energy. I think Tails Saves over lives works but not as well as the Origins Coins system, and restoring the lives system can make a few levels really stupidly painful. That being said, the biggest fundamental issue of SC remains unaddressed; Filler levels. There's a really good hack of SC Wii that restores the original level order; As in, Two Acts per Zone. There are mind numbing filler levels in Sonic Colors, true abominations where you stand around and wait on an elevator. There is one mod that addresses it for SCU but requires a complete save and only lets you play the level order in the weird time attack mode which you have to beat in one sitting. Re-Rainbow looks great. I commend the team for their work. I'll likely download it and play it in tbe future. But it will not be definitive IMHO.

From what I remember disliking as soon as I started playing was the control scheme, I was playing on PS4 and the fact that didn’t change the side steps from the wii control of one of the bumpers and stick to just being on 2 bumpers immediately turned me of from continuing the game, and I haven’t started it since.

Is it worth buying the game and giving them the idea it was good release + money because of a mod? That weird feeling when yoy have Secret Rings, 100%d it and liked it for what it was....

Again, it's times like this where I'm glad that fans are there to pick up the slack where Sega fell behind. (Now if only the Steam version didn't have Denuvo DRM, I'd be willing to give this a shot.)

J, can you please cover the Classic Sonic improvement mod for Forces? It basically fixes classic Sonic in that game.

Wow that cutscene change is very impressive! At this point SEGA has become so reliant on fans keeping the Sonic IP alive that I almost feel like they cut corners on purpose... It's sad to see that one of the few IPs which back in the 90's and early 2000's could compete with the likes of Mario is not given the same treatment both in game development and branding. Although I am excited for SonicxShadow Generations, I'm still concerned about how much SEGA leans in on nostalgia and the fans to keep the IP alive. To me, the development of sonic games is a lot like the development of Pokemon games (Pokemon as a whole has so many other factors and is much larger, so I'm just talking about video games), lacking in innovation, leaning on nostalgia, low resource allocation, and relying on fan creations / interactions to keep the brand relevant.

J. if your pc can run SCU it can run colors at least 1080p 60fps on dolphin

Hey J, ever considered playing the Silent Hill games?

Now we need Sonic Colours Ultimate Re-Rainbow Boom All-Stars Racing

People with epilepsy when they see the nintendo switch version.... "run!!!!!!!"

If you like this mod you should defs give Sonic Forces Overclocked a go, it's a sequel story that fixes a ton about the game, it's really good for what it is

Thank you for reminding me to pick the game up on steam while it’s still on sale. I was very interested in the fan works for the game

Sonic Colors Ultimate was my first experience with Sonic Colors, but honestly the issues you talk about didn't bother me much. What does bother me is that... I just don't find it very fun to play, a lot of the levels feel like they're designed to slow you down at nearly every opportunity possible. I never felt like I was able to achieve the state of flow I can in Sonic Generations levels and I missed it greatly.

I know this isn't the point of these videos but: how can Sega not be deeply ashamed that bedroom programmers are remastering their games on lunch breaks better than their multi-million dollar company? (I know it wasn't in house but this was still their project)

Once again, the fans do what Segdon't, making a remaster of a Sonic game actually good.

I am glad to not be such a Sonic Hater. I enjoyed Sonic Colors Ultimate and even Sonic Forces. I see their flaws but i still had fun with them. Forces more or less but Sonic Colors Ultimate was really cool.

I need the guys that did this remaster to do the cutscenes in ChaosX's Sonic P-06, because Chaos isn't doing cutscenes besides a few in game original cutscenes. Hopefully we can get these guys or soekone willing to do it, then it'll be the perfect Sonic 06 Remake.

Sonic fans really be out here fixing a billion dollar company’s mistakes

I might buy the game after the mod is finished for a BIG discount. It feels kind of shitty paying for the remaster even then, though, since all the work done to make it worth anyone's while wasn't done by Sega.

This shows how much dedication and how much sonic fans care about the community (for the most part) and the game, since theyre doing everything for free, and work day and night while knowing they wont get anything out of it

Sonic colours Ultra-shit wasn’t worth it Hopefully it never gets released ever again in this way Now those days can be put behind us with sonic X shadow generations

The only way I bougth this game was with the 70% on steam, I can't be bothered to buy it full price xd

ehh is there any scolor mods that add junkie XL music or smth boost sonic is just burnout revenge as a platformer after all

I gotta be honest, when so many of sonic games need to install so many mods to make these games "good" I think at that point it's not that worth playing these games to me

Take a look out for Sonic and the Secret Rings. There is already work on revamping from the ground up. If Sonic Secret Rings is fixed finally then I wonder how they can handle Sonic Synergy (probably not going for the final build of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric)

I got the game when it came to steam and used already existing mods and made it look nearly as good as generations, but with some issues like the world map animation speed. With this, in tropical resort, I think that is fully completed and is where the mod looks best, it looks better than generations

The acronym of Sonic Colors Ultimate( SCU) makes it look like it says Scum.

My first time EVER pre ordering a game was recently in July for ordering shadow x sonic generations and I'm so hyped to play it and see if you make a review on it

A mod that restores the 2 act structure that was originally intended would definitely make this Ultimate for me.

Played the DS version and currently have the Wii version that I play on my Wii U

Day 12 of Requesting J to Review the Evil Within Series.

Be careful of the ego stroking, we might just get another Sonic Omens from this.

I’ve think I remember reading somewhere the reason the Switch version of this game is only 30 FPS is due to Blind Squirrel going overboard with the subdivision on the wisps, so they had nearly millions of triangles and faces, a lot of which weren’t really needed.

I bought the game when it was available on Steam, but I couldn't tolerate the stuttering... The game suffers too much of it, so I leave it without play.

I love this game so I'm glad someone made a mod to fix the horrible re-release

I also just bought the game and never ever saw a video from it lool, thx for the sale sega! xd

Holy shit they even fixed the cutscenes? Damn this really is the perfect mod.

It's cool that this mod exists, but I'm still not going to buy the game as long as it has Denuvo.

And here i thoughts it was an official update to the game *sigh* Its always a mod

wake up! megaman x8 16bit demake got a full release

Don't know if I can get this to work on my Steam Deck, but from what I'm seen of the mod, it looks great!

probably been said here but it's just insane to me that it's been three years since colours ultimate came out, i still remember when people were joking about how terrible it looked lol

This mod truly makes it an actual Ultimate way to play the game but there's still ways to go.

I like Sonic Colours: Ultimate

I have everything that can be, set to mono I hate stereo sound

Now all that's left is to fix some of the slower levels

Okay, could someone explain how Colours’ cutscenes were AI generated?

J uploaded a video, my day is not ruined.

I loved the game and never got any mods at all

this mod is a genuine masterpiece.

I love seeing you review mods. Keep it up.

Liked faster than Sonic
