Rumor: Sonic 30th anniversary collection to be announced at SXSW [UPDATE: Confirmed fake. See threadmarks]

Don't get me wrong, a 3&K re-release would be great.
I just refuse to believe it'll happen until it's out.
I could see it being a "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games 2020" situation and launch in the holiday season. Kinda makes a lot of sense to go that route, then it's on sale throughout the entire anniversary year.
Some of them outright get hired to do alternate covers for the comics, complete with custom models

Artists like Geki696, Nibroc-Rock, and Lixes the Prototype come to mind.
âš°I'd be wary about buying into this. Sonic fans are notoriously good at making official looking renders/hoaxes.
There's also a post in that thread that dissects why this is most likely fake.
Just checked, does good work, but does nothing as official-looking as this one.
Give me Adventure 1, 2, Heroes, Unleashed, Colors and Generations and I'm sold.
Don't see Sonic Team doing Secret Rings, Black Knight, Shadow or 06 because they seem to want to forget those games ever existed.
While I would also love the classic games, I would also pain me that it would probably mean Sonic 3 & Knuckles would be skipped over again

It was part of the Sonic Gems Collection alongside CD and Sonic the Fighters in the mid 2000s. Forget when the PC port came out.
Those look good, but also blatantly fanmade. Nothing close to that image in the OP IMO
Oh man I'd love for it to include the 3D world from Sonic Jam. I played that so much back in the day.
I just don't understand the complaint really. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary Collection of a series by not celebrating the history of and releasing something...entirely else. Like that makes any kind of sense whatsoever.

Secret Rings is legitimately good. It's got a slow start due to having to unlock most of his abilities, and of course it's brought down a bit by slightly finicky Wiimote controls, but it's a genuinely good game regardless. I did a replay a while back and was surprised how much I enjoyed it, a port with a standard control scheme would be well received IMO.
Wait, what's a Genesis?
Yeah, I refuse to acknowledge that name in a positive or even neutral manner.
Even so, I don't doubt Sega will be doing something for Sonic's 30th year, but given what folks have said here, grain of salt and all that.
Yeah, I actually think I've seen fan models of classic Sonic that look similar to the one in the supposed leak.I'd be wary about buying into this. Sonic fans are notoriously good at making official looking renders/hoaxes.

Dammit I got my hopes up :(I'd be wary about buying into this. Sonic fans are notoriously good at making official looking renders/hoaxes.

Isn't the post-game Secret Rings just grinding for experience?
Secret Rings is the only one out of the three (notably, it's the only one that got decent reviews in its time) that I have personally had the misfortune to experience. I'm shocked that I even stomached it enough to reach the end credits. Granted, given its competition, "top 3 3d Sonic" game isn't exactly effusive praise...
I struggle to believe that something like this is even possible for SEGA to do considering how many times they've attempted to port Sonic Adventure and have failed to do so correctly like every time.
Doing that with more 3D games across so many console generations seems like far too high expectations.

...which is exactly why Sonic Team won't do it. We can't have nice things. Sonic Mania 2 is a no-brainer, and look where we are...
The most you can hope for is another shitty boost game with a mobile endless runner tie-in.
Not really? Sonic three has not been re released in over a decade and even skipped the mini. Only recent development is that beta leak that showed the PC songs are the original. Sega is fine with ignoring it in hopes the Jackson estate does not sure.
Hope it's not the only thing announced, can't say I'm that interested in a collection of games where the best was mediocre
Also:
PS5 and Xbox Series X are going to be backwards compatible. Unless there'd for some reason be stuff they couldn't do in current gen ports that they could in the next gen ports, there's not really a reason for Sega to make next gen versions of this supposed collection.
Sonic Jam was my introduction to Sonic, I remember that 3D section vividly. Would be a really cool extra to include.
I'm guessing a lot of games that come out over the holidays are going to have separate PS4/PS5 XB1/XSX SKUs, even if they'd both essentially be the same product (although I assume some discs will have higher res texture packs, not this theoretical Sonic collection though obviously). At some point it just comes down to making the product look new and shiny on store shelves. We kinda saw it with Assassin's Creed IV having PS3 and PS4 boxes during the last transition.
Yeah, this is totally bogus. Artists like BlueParax already make renders that easily look this good (and even then, I'd say Tails' render here actually looks pretty off), and as already mentioned the typography makes no sense - Japanese Sonic titles don't even use JP text for their main logos, the JP title is generally a small subtitle underneath. Feels more like they went for the old "JP text makes it authentic!" approach and it's backfired for those familiar like the franchise.
If true (which I doubt), then I hope that they use the following versions for these games, & not from either PS2 or PS3:
Sonic Adventure DX - Gamecube or Xbox 360.
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle - Gamecube or Xbox 360.
Sonic Heroes & Shadow The Hedgehog - Gamecube or Xbox.
Sonic Riders - Gamecube, Xbox or Xbox 360.
Sonic 2006 - Xbox 360.
Sonic Unleashed & Generations - Xbox 360 or PC.
Sonic Adventure DX - Gamecube or Xbox 360.
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle - Gamecube or Xbox 360.
Sonic Heroes & Shadow The Hedgehog - Gamecube or Xbox.
Sonic Riders - Gamecube, Xbox or Xbox 360.
Sonic 2006 - Xbox 360.
Sonic Unleashed & Generations - Xbox 360 or PC.

I haven't seen one legitimately convincing example. There's good fan renders but nothing even close to this. If this turns out to be fake I'll be shocked.
Well... it was good while it lasted :(I'd be wary about buying into this. Sonic fans are notoriously good at making official looking renders/hoaxes.

This is a good catch. If it ends up being a hoax, I hope they reveal themselves afterwards so we can all say "I found you, faker!"
never forget
