Check out this interesting video from Gamehut on how Traveller's Tales achieved the transparencies effects in Sonkc R:

very interesting. I have to say sonic r still looks so impressive to me. I liked and still do like it's graphics more than mario 64.

Technically Sonic R is highly impressive. I never liked it much as a game though.

I was hoping that Jon would finally get around to tackling this subject - beyond requests for a "Director's Cut" of Sonic R similar to his recent Sonic 3D effort (which I suspect would be too difficult for just one professional to make in their limited spare time), a video about how Traveller's Tales managed to generate transparent effects on a console supposedly incapable has been highly demanded in the comments to his other uploads. Now if only he could find more from that abandoned F1 game beyond a single car model...

Where the Sonic 3D Director's Cut saw a few minor features changed and some bugs fixed, I think a lot of people want to see new courses made for Sonic R, but that would surely require texture work and polygonal modelling, not to mention bespoke collision programming (along with presumably fresh music from Richard Jacques, which is highly unlikely).

Tried it with both 2D and 3D control and found it twitchy but that wasn't the real problem - I would have got used to that. I think what actually put me off the game was the multiple paths. I like my race tracks simpler and more focussed.
