So, I was watching a video of SA2 HD in 4:3, and I thought it was pretty cool that the console version still supported 4:3 despite being a widescreen port. I decided to try this on my own PS3, and because you can only set it to 4:3 on standard def, and because PAL PS3s don't have a 480i option, I was stuck with 576i at 50Hz.
Apparently, the HD version was not optimized to run at the proper speed at 50Hz, unlike SA2B (And the DC original I'd assume), so it runs at a slower speed like it's the '90s. This of course sucks, but I noticed one little thing:
Since the cutscenes are also slower, the characters cut each other off far less often! And so I made a
video.
Of course, sometimes the characters' lines are just way too fast, even for 50Hz, like in the cutscene prior to the second Sonic vs. Shadow battle. Regardless, I was thinking of recording a full 50Hz playthrough for the sake of
science!
