The controller doesn't respond as well as the old Sega Genesis ones for these types of Sonic games (the d-pad and those other things, forget name). Sonic The Hedgehog levels I eventually beat without a sweat on the Genesis I can not control as well here. Are there any PS4 controllers that work better with this game?

@Squall-Leonhart heya, i don't think the game will ever be as responsive as the mega drive (it's what we call the genesis!) originals on a CRT TV but there are a couple of things you can do to make it better on a PS4 and modern TV.

1. Plug your Dualshock4 controller into the PS4 with a usb cable. On the PS4 go to Settings>Devices>Controllers>Communication Method and change it to Use USB Cable

2. (This is more likely your problem so try it first!) TVs have different display modes like Standard, Theater, Scenic, Movie etc. Find the display settings on your TV and change the display mode to Gaming. This normally reduces the perceived input latency.

It's not the same on all TVs and occasionally the Gaming mode can make it worse so if it doesn't get any better then try out different display modes.

Hopefully one or both of these methods solve your issue. Maybe other people have some different suggestions if not. Good luck!

See ya!
