Sonic Colors: Ultimate brings the fan favourite title back on PlayStation 4, and the remaster looks like a pretty significant improvement on the original. In this new trailer, the 2010 Wii game is put side by side with the modern edition, and the difference is clear. Of course, a 4K, 60 frames-per-second remaster made 11 years later is always going to look superior, but it's still good to put it in context.
In addition to the visual boost, the game has a number of other new features and changes highlighted in the video. Rival Rush is a new mode in which you race through levels against Metal Sonic. If you win, you earn rewards of some sort. It looks like a neat addition, and will give veterans something new to conquer. Ultimate will also include customisation items you can purchase with Park Tokens, letting you outfit the hedgehog with gloves, shoes, auras, and boosts.
Then there's the Jade Ghost, a new Wisp that allows Sonic to pass through solid objects to reach hidden spots. Finally, the remaster will include customisable controls and a system whereby Tails can rescue you from falls, making the game that little bit more accessible.
You can see all this in action in the trailer. Sonic Colors: Ultimate is due out on 7th September, and it looks like a solid update to one of the blue blur's better received 3D outings. Will you be playing this one? Home in on the comments section below.

Looks cool I do plan to play this at some point but probably not at launch. Looking forward to seeing how the next brand new Sonic game looks though.
I'll pick this up on pc and check it out, my laptop should run this good 🙂🙂👍
Big jump in visuals ?? It still doesn't look better than Unleashed . Unleashed was the last game they actually cared about cutting-edge graphics . Every other Sonic game afterwards just looks like re-skins of the same ol' , same ol' with just a different bad plot .
Sonic Team is lazy .
Wow... they actually bothered. I'm interested now.
We need to go back to Robotnik >_> They did it in the movie, though with Sonic nick naming him Egg Man, I suppose the sequel will probably ditch Robotnik, too. Anyway, looks great! Can't wait.
@crazykcarter yeah it is. I earlier found some listings about Colors Ultimate being 4K for Xbox One and PS4 but I am guessing that the listings are wrong because Xbox One S and base PS4 don’t run at 4K. It’s probably for ps5 and the series x and s.
So the listings I found were misleading I think. Also I don’t see how the switch can’t run a Wii game at 60 FPS unless Sega manages to mess it up
Loved the trailer, won't be buying this day one but still interested!
Hopefully it drops down in price fast, would love to own it by Christmas 2022.
@crazykcarter might be too but I am guessing newer consoles
