Will Origins have the Michael Jackson tracks in Sonic 3? Not a big fan of the alternative choices for those tracks. However, I'd be okay for an option of either OST as a toggled choice, so both parties win.
I’d like to say probably. But the game isn’t out yet and we have no demo or anything to go off of so who knows.

Even if they aren’t in the game proper, theres always mods. In fact it’ll probably be one of the first mods for the game, that and adding in shit like mania sprites for Sonic and the gang.

Check the video of the islands on this comment. When it gets to Angel Island, they use Ice Cap as the background music.

It's not necessarily 100% confirmation, but considering that every rerelease of the Genesis version has used the MJ tracks for CNZ/ICZ/LBZ, I'd say there's a 99.9% chance they're in. I would further bet that they're the only tracks we're getting, and you'll have to get a mod to use the beta tracks for those zones. Because why go through the effort of making a Sonic 3 Complete-esque modular system to allow users to customize their experience? That would take effort, and effort costs money, hence why we have to nickel and dime you for 30-year-old games.

I agree with his statement, but his sabotage of Sonic X-Treme certainly makes him a hypocrite.

Square is obviously quite dispassionate now, whereas if you read about the development of older games like Chrono Trigger you see that was not always the case.
 
One thing thats bothered me for the years I've known this after I found it out is Fang the sniper/Nack the weasel isn't even a fucking weasel. That was added in late into production as an alternate name because something something mentions of guns bad or whatever IIRC, but the point is I found out he's actually a fucking Jerboa. If you look up images of the thing you can see the resemblance. I guess they figured that they could get away with just calling him a weasel because knuckles looks nothing like an Echidna, and calling him "Jimmy Jerboa" or some shit would be just TOO stereotypically Australian. There's apperently also shit calling him a "jerboa-wolf" which isn't even an actual animal and I really do not see any resemblance to a wolf in the outback rat bastard's design.

I never mentioned this despite knowing it but I just remembered this shit again and it's funny to me.

EDIT: Fucking hell all that comes up if you look up the game he's from now is the FnF spookypasta mod that's named after it as a vidya reference. The algorithm on youtube pushes that shit over the actual results now it's like how I can't find the joe biden shitposts because it prioritizes news shit over anything else.

It was originally going to use the same game engine as NiGHTs. Naka threatened to walk if it wasn't scrapped. The failed beta is the result of Sega of America starting over from scratch.
STI asked for the NiGHTs engine because the shit they already made with Ofer Alon (in-house) and Point of View (contracted to port Alon's work to Saturn) wasn't really getting anywhere (as far as SoJ knew, as all they saw was early versions of shit further along development) and they couldn't afford to remake all the dev tools from scratch (the other two engines were scrapped and STI was told to do the whole thing with the boss engine, which looked better than them at the time)

Which is funny considering he uses his gun in Sonic The Fighters.

His gun isn't even a "real" one either, it's those "pop" guns that shoot those brown wine corks. I don't see how that's bad/offensive/triggering/etc...

They don't want Fang using a real gun. The pop gun is fine.
And yet...

Nice consistency, Sega. It gets even better when you know that Shadow the Hedgehog had its violent content watered down before release.
 
lol, thats that the Sonic Mania mod loader by MainMemory, of Bluespheres plus and Knuckles' Emerald Hunt fame.
Yeah, I wish he and CodenameGamma didn't violently troon out because they are really good at their craft.

Also, it's kind of funny (and weird) how the two big Sonic mod coders have programming names.
