[@redhotsonic]

Absolutely amazing work. I don't understand how people can do this. I would just stare at the original and wouldn't know where to go! I wish I had an artistic vision! As for when you say "They didn't bother to clean this up" or mentions on "dithering", this is probably because Sonic Team had composite in mind as most people used that connection back in the nineties. With that in mind and people playing these on CRT's, it would blend and look more 3D than it actually is. In today's world with emulation or people using RGB SCART, the pixels are a lot sharper so the dithering becomes more obvious. Basically, the whole "Sonic 1 waterfall" theory is in play here. Also, nice chapter reference at 15:45, well played, sir!

[@LapperDev]

Thankyou, it was quite tough when it got to Sonic 3! And very right! I think I was conflating 2 things being the dithering and some random colours pixels I saw around which didn't belong like a lone grey pixel on the ring. I ended up removing dithering to make way for just adding the extra colours as mania would have, of course. Thanks for your knowledge!

[@whiteeeveeangel]

@@LapperDev I was also going to point out this very thing myself. The way CRT screens work means that those harsh, fully-aligned pixels we see on LED screens today (that do look horrible and would normally be cleaned up) would have bled together a LOT more back then because of how the light projection and phosphor reactions, as well as intentionally-staggered "pixel" lines, created a lot more depth and smoothness than the original rigid-pixel image would have led you to believe! XD For modern hardware though, these look absolutely amazing and I really hope SEGA polishes these games up for the Origin collection.

[@Pyrodiac]

Hey RHS! Hope you're doing well after... y'know...

[@user-gg4mc6di5g]

I sort of thought it was weird that he decided to implement dithering (for the background horizon) even with the newer tech but I guess that just goes to show that even with the expanded palette there are still areas where you want the gradient to be smoother than even the extra colors allow

[@Solesteam]

The Original Sonic 3 logo looks so crusty in comparison to your remake, probably because they were pushing the Genesis to its limits with that one.

[@weirdproq]

I bet SEGA could have cleaned it up. They just didn't bother because you wouldn't notice on a CRT with the A/V cables people used back then, plus they had a deadline to meet.

[@raikohzx4323]

@@weirdproq A really, REALLY tight deadline for a McDonald's toy deal that left half the game on the cutting room floor. Plus a strange approach to CGI 3D style visuals and shading with 3 altogether, but was only done in half measures compared to Donkey Kong Country. Really interesting stuff.
