Sega's upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is looking and feeling impressive, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe there's a better solution for re-creating the magic of the original Sonicgames from the Genesis era.  I say that after watching this video of a pre-rendered updated portion of Act 2 of the Mushroom Hill Zone from Sonic & Knuckles aimed at the technical specifications of modern consoles.  It's not a real game, mind you, but I really want it to be.  So many of the little details such as motion-blurred titles, metallic rings, and that fantastic stream of light filtering through the trees are just perfect.
