Great, great video but I have to say a big FALSE to the PS1 part. It was quite obvious that he wasn't actually playing the games, but FFVII cannot be played using the analog sticks nor is the "X" button the confirm button in the game. It hurt to watch that part.
While I do think this new fan made one looks incredible, I think we still have to remember that both of these fan made ones are recreations of the games we love from the past, which is why we think we love them more. Sonic 4 is a brand new game. The visuals may not be as awesomely new and complex, but it's still new nonetheless. So it comes down to "do we want a remake of an old, classic Sonic game" or "do we want a brand new Sonic game that won't suck (we hope)?"
If Sega were to do this graphic overhaul on the first 3 games (and maybe S&K to boot), I would gladly pay that price. I don't care if the games are the same length with no extra features. A complete 3D sidescroller copy of the originals is worth it to me.
Finally! I've been waiting for the review to come up for this. I knew it'd be between you and Mikel as to who got to review it. Absolutely loved the books and cannot wait to get my hands on this. I'll wait for the XBLA version though. I'm assuming it's the exact same game?
Pretty good top 7... I wasn't expecting Number 1 at all, but I can see why you picked it. As for Wii Sports, I totally was groaning the second I saw the title and started laughing when I read that first sentence.
