Old Generations
Sonic Unleashed Gameplay HD Videos
Here is a video from the last SEGA’s mascot game.
Some 2D parts are shortly presented in this demo, but nothing compared to Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) on Genesis/Megadrive.
One of our hope/suggestion about/to SEGA is that they follow Capcom’s way and give us a Sonic The Hedgehog HD Remix or a Virtua Racing Rearmed !… Imagine how gorgeous it’d look with updated 1080p graphics. Enough dreaming !… Wake up, you’ll have to satisfy yourself with SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection and its poorly upscaled sprites !
The video is at 720p resolution.

Need For Speed:Undercover Gameplay HD Videos
Here it comes, the twelfth Need For Speed episode and not the best.
We’ve tested the “best” version because with a competitive machine it might have been playable at a decent frame-rate compared to its console sister…
Even with the computer we used*, the game has slowdowns and glitches !
NFS:U has been released on eleven supports. Maybe EA Black Box should concentrate on less platforms to bring us a completed game.
Instead we have a product featuring beautiful supercars in an outdated environment ! No open city during races, pixelated shadows, clipping, low frame rate in areas where there’s nothing with a lot of polygons to render… are just a few samples.
On the other side, Undercover has good aspects like cinematic played by real actors, gameplay faithful to its predecessors, garage full of dreaming supercars (Veyron, Zonda, McLaren F1, Carrera GT, Murciélago,…) All of them particularly well modeled.
As you can read we are not quite satisfied by this unfinished software. We now have to wait for “thirteen”… Hope they’ll get lucky with this number !
Here are the HD videos presented in 720p.

Ikaruga Gameplay HD Videos
Ikaruga is not a quite recent game but we wanted to share two replays of the best players around XBOX Live. (By the way, expect more content about more or less old games…)
GA Key, Cor Scorpii 9 and SA Suisai give us a lesson !
Treasure’s Ikaruga debuted in arcades on Sega’s NAOMI system (2001) and was then ported on Dreamcast in Japan (2002), Nintendo GameCube Worldwide (2003) and recently on Xbox Live Arcade (2008). Gamers interested to (re)play this masterpiece can find lots of different versions on eBay.
Replays are 720p footage :
