Back in 1999 we already had Crash 2 and Mario 64, which were and still are some of the best platformers out there. Crash is not aged by definition, because culture is what defines what is aged; the N. Sanity Collection was well loved by audiences.
Those games always had better camera, better physics and far less glitches than SA1. I played SA1 a few years late when I was 11 and I could already tell the camera was messy and the glitches were hilarious. But I still loved the game as did audiences for the longest time. Why?
It's charming and fun, being a true passion project full of little things the devs added based on their personal experiences and tastes. It might not be as good mechanically but it offers the same sort of honest sense of Sonic Team fun as games like NiGHTS and Sonic CD (or for an around equally mechanically flawed equivalent, Burning Rangers) and it being the only Adventure game Ohshima was closely involved with (he directed the other 3 games I listed) is probably a part of that.
It also in terms of mechanics offers something not necessarily unique but not as well executed as its predecessors. SA2, Heroes & 06 all had that type of fast platforming but it simply did not execute it nearly as well; SA2 had bland level design with little variety or inventive & fun to experience set pieces, Heroes had the stupid fighting bullshit and 06 is 06, a game that experienced practically zero bug testing.
I dind't mention "Unleashed Daytime Style" because those are are so different as to belong to their own genre. Racing platformer?

Fuck me I meant follow-ups, not predecessors. The 2D Sonics are definitely stronger games, but I'd argue they're also too different to compare. SA1 was about fast platforming with physics playing little role; 2D Sonics were practically all about the pinball physics.

Sonic Adventure hasn't aged badly, it was already dated when it came out. 3D platformers with tight controls existed in 1999.

As for the 2D Sonics those can also be hugely flawed. Sonic 1 just controls very oddly; it's slow and not immediate enough to be inherently fun. The lack of a spin-dash truly dates it even more to anyone but the most dedicated "muh momentum based gameplay, spindash was horrible at planted the seed for the boost" types whose tastes are more niche than someone who plays PC-98 porn games like Night Slave for the gameplay.
Sonic 2 was a massive improvement but the special stages are pure dog shit and make the full experience hard to bother with and makes you want to just speedrun the levels; I've only bothered unlocking Super Sonic once in that and I don't want to do it again.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is one of the really really good ones. Extremely cohesive world making the game feel like a big adventure, perfect controls, good special stages and (holy shit thank you) a level select that allows you infinite chances to get both sets of emeralds. The characters with different routes & gameplay. It's practically perfect.

that's how it always been with fantasy settings in jap games. western medieval mythos and arthurian folklore. Knights, steel and big lizards.

>games must only feature the setting and mythological creatures from the country they've been made in
How stupid can you be? If you wanted to make a DS thread, you should've just done so.

>>387229184
Because Japs don't care for this retarded cultural appropriation crap liberals keep crying about, they simply take what looks cool and put it into their games.

That fucking Crash game isnt even something new.
I think Mario will end up being the best, but Sonic restores some faith in the franchise and gives fans what they want, two things that Sonic really needed.

I liked MGSV.
Loot boxes in single player games are a non-issue.
BamHam combat is good, fuck you.
The first game was too fucking barebones. It really needed to be built upon, and the sequels seems to be doing a nice job at that so far.

Would a game set in a fantasy setting inspired by the African continent and its folklore be interesting to you.
It would have creatures classes magic and playable races all based on African folklore.
Also as a side effect of the seating and story your playable character can only be white if you suffer from full Vitiligo as a selective trait and all this would do is give you a penalty to charisma and a bonus to stealth in Savannah or some other minor bonuses to offset the charisma penalty (You still look like an African native regardless of skin color)
But otherwise you cannot make a non native African character nor meat any in game.
Maybe they do exist on another Continent but the game takes place before the age of discovery so as far as you care they dont and only black people are playable.
Wold the inability to play someone who is your race acualy deter you from enjoying the game assuming its a realy good RPG game.

I'd play the fuck out of that assuming it's a good rpg.
Love me some folklore and mythology.

Id be more interested if you told me more about the African folklore and what classes would be available instead of telling me I won't be able to play as a white person for half of the post.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the wanna-be white person to be an albino?

I'm compiling various sources to get to who did what in Mega man designs. This is what I've discovered so far:
Akira Kitamura:
>Mega Man
>Roll
>Dr. Light
Inafune:
>Elec Man
>Bomb Man
>Dr. Wiley
>MM1 minor enemies (including favorites like Sniper Joe, Metal, etc)
>Zero
>Punk
>Splash Woman
>Plug Man
>Auto
>Beat
>Trinity (MN9)
Unknown:
>Cut Man (possibly Kitamura)
>Ice Man
>Fire Man
>Guts Man (Possibly Bon Bon)
>Rush
>Eddie
Hayto Kaji:
>Bass
>Trebble
>X
>Shield attacker enemy
>Duo

It was Kitamura:
http://shmuplations.com/megaman/
>Kitamura: When I first created the world for Mega Man, but before I knew what the gameplay system would be—originally there was no Mega Man, no Roll, no Dr. Light. Cut Man was the hero. (laughs) I imagined a game where you’d use those scissors on his head to cut down enemies and other obstacles as you progressed through the stage.

>>387228230
I figured that. He doesn't specifically say he designed him though, but he created the character and implies it.
