Whats your favorite Sonic game? 2D and 3D

>>323800314
S3&K
Sonic Generations
runner ups:
SA3
Sonic Unleashed (day stages were great, night were different, but not bad, I thought)

>>323800981
Why sonic generations?

>>323801179
I had the most fun with it.

>>323801265
But 70% of it is 2D

Black Knight.
Not a joke.

Not that anon, but there was no such stipulation demanding otherwise.

>the_man_with_no_taste.png

>>323801381
Yeah but its just funny to say when people say colors or generations is their favorite 3D game, since a majority of it is in 2D. Unleashed was the last sonic where 3D gameplay was the majority

>>323800314
Sonic 2. One of the first games I ever owned.
Unleashed. Best atmosphere, even if the night gameplay was boring at times.

>>323800314
Freedom Planet.
The rest is shit.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles
the fast levels in Generations and Unleashed

Sonic 3D Flickies' Island gets the award for best OST. Both versions.

Sonic 2
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Rush
Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing. (and its sequel)

1992 babby here, i like 2d sonic

S3&K
Sonic Adventure

2d: 3&k

3d: adventure 2

Honestly liked the emerald hunts and mech sections

>>323803025
Maybe alongside the rest of the games they're allegedly porting to PC. Who knows.

>2D
Sonic 3 & Knuckles / Sonic 3 Complete

>3D
Either Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic Unleashed, but in both cases, not if I have to play from the beginning through all the filler, alternate gameplay styles, and mediocre story.

If starting from the beginning: Sonic Generations.

>>323803252
What's this about alleged ports?

>>323802760
>Sonic Advance 2
No.
Another anon was complaining about off screen bullshit a few days ago and I brushed it off, but playing SA2 recently was a nightmare that woke me up. You are not allowed to go fast in this game, if you do you will encounter spikes, pop up spikes, enemies with ambiguous hitboxes so no matter what attack you use they hit you first, pits, crushing obstacles and that's not even getting into the Stop-Enjoying-Yourself-Right-Now Boss fights short of maybe the gravity one.

The special stages are enjoyable since they're more or less Sonic CD, but the means to access them is fucking bullshit.

Knuckles is also all kinds of weird here, what the hell is up with his glide and climbing? Why is it so slow?!

>>323800314
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Generations.

>>323803252
Well if they already know how to port the hedgehog engine, I dont see why its not possible. Just bundle all the dlc, set it to 20, and boom

I know lost world sold like shit but thats b ecause lost world is shit. Unleashed is miles better

>>323803025
>>323803252
Honestly I doubt it. The problem with porting old games is most people already have them. They'd be better off doing a simultaneous PC release of whatever new games they're working on.

>>323800314
Sonic 3
Unleashed

>>323800314
2D: either sonic 2, advance 2, or rush adventure
3D: sonic colors or generations

>>323800981
>SA3
MAH NIGGA

>>323803505
Yeah but unleashed is like the only sonic thats stuck on ps3/360. It deserves a second chance and would be awesome to replay at 60fps

I was just playing it and found it funny how the frame rate was better at day when its super fast, than night. Day is usually around 30 while night chugs at 25-30. I wonder why that is

CD and Rush
Adventure 1

>>323803368
Compared to Advance 3 and Rush, Advance 2 is significantly more fair about stuff you can't see coming flying at you, and it's a very solid speedrun game. Very enjoyable to quickly run through when you have at least a vague idea of what's ahead.

Most boss fights in Sonic as a whole are garbage. Advance 2 is slightly above average in terms of boss fights, ending up only mostly garbage, I would say.
About the only game I would say has good bosses is Rush Adventure.

The special stages are terrible though. The stages themselves are bad enough, but the means to access them is inexcusably shit.

Not the guy you replied to.

>>323803368

Fine

Sonic Advance 1

Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

>>323803747
What about Colors?
And hell, why not port the handheld games?
Or the Sonic 1 and 2 remakes on iOS?

>>323800314
>2D
Sonic Rush
>3D
Generations or the Sonic and Shadow levels in SA2:B

>>323804346
>Or the Sonic 1 and 2 remakes on iOS?
Fucking this, since the only reason they're not on PC right now is because of that Nintendo exclusivity agreement that's already ended.

>>323804346
Colors is trash
Anyone can emulate gba and theyre nothing special or in demand
Fair enough

>>323804135
>Compared to Advance 3
But the partner system in Advance 3 gives you more options to circumvent bullshit. Of course that relies on always having it ready, but even so it's something.

>>323804556
I agree Colors is trash, but it's a game people would pay money for.

They could make somewhat enhanced ports of the GBA and DS games, like give them decent audio quality, take the bar out of the middle of the screen so you can see everything, increase the resolution for 3D assets which would help with boss fights especially, etc.

>>323805095
I just dont see it. There is much more demand for a meaty game like unleashed instead of some game boy ports. I have never heard anyone say they want advance trilogy on pc

>>323804868
Nigger, I'm talking about Advance 3's overabundance of precision platforming bottomless pits as early as the second zone (Advance 2 has almost no bottomless pits whatsoever until the second half of the game, and even then rarely has precision platforming over them), shit like running into a wall in what appeared to be a speed section and a moving block coming down and crushing you before you can react, etc.
Partner abilities don't help you avoid this shit unless you know it's there already and come into the situation prepared to avoid it.

>>323805340
Sure, but why not do all of them?

>>323800314
3D: Generations
2D: S3&K

If Unleashed didn't have shitty night levels and medals it would be my top 3D game.

>>323805653
Yeah why not do all of them eventually? But priorities. The fact is you can download a gameboy emulator on your pc, psp, or phone and get the advance trilogy roms in seconds. Unleashed is a much better, bigger more fun game thats stuck on 360 and ps3 with a fluctuating frame rate

If any sonic game is to get a pc port, Unleashed, by process of elimination and ease of obtaining, should definitely be the first

>>323800314
2D: Sonic Advance
3D: Black Knight

>People calling Colors trash

No

>>323805887
I don't disagree with you on that.

Why do people latch onto the genesis games when the gba AND ds games are better?

>>323805653
Sorry, you're right. I forgot about all the Pit Zone Act Die in Advance 3 for some reason.

>>323805983
>nintendo kids saying Colors is the best

No

>>323806043
They're not better, though.

>>323806219
>calling someone who started with the Genesis a "Nintendo kid"

>>323805983
Slow blocky 2D platforming with wisp gimmickry, 3D barely existing and when it does being shallow as fuck, the same button being used for homing attack and double jump, shit bosses that are all reused except for the last one, all the bosses being insultingly easy, acts that are ENTIRELY some horse shit like riding a flying spring or quickstepping into motobugs, terrible story, embarrassingly childish cutscenes and humor (most of it, anyway), and so on and so on.

I really like the aesthetics, music, and PA announcements, but that's all the game has.

>>323806043
Because that's wrong.

>>323806672
it also had the best ending sequence in a sanic 3d game

>>323806538
For someone whos been there since the beginning you sure like shit then

There is not a single good Nintendo console sonic. Zero. none. nil. They are all fucking shit

>>323806807
Advance 1 and Rush Adventure, bitch.

>>323806807
handhelds

>>323806875
>>323806876
CONSOLE

not handheld. The advance and rush games are great

>>323806951
>handhelds aren't consoles meme
stop

>>323806672
>Slow blocky 2D platforming with wisp gimmickry
Difference being the entire game was designed around a single gimmick (Wisps) so on that alone it's better designed than literally every other 3D Sonic game except maybe Generations and Unleashed because all of them shoved a half-dozen or more completely different gimmicks into one game.

Advance games are rush games are infinitely better than genesis games.

>>323807059
Being obtuse for the sake of it

People commonly divide home consoles and handheld portables. Home console nintendo sonics are shit, handheld portable sonics are good. End of that

>>323807192
Nope.
They're pretty good though.

>>323807159
But every wisp is a unique gimmick, and all of them suck.
The only one that comes close to not sucking is the drill when you're underwater, and only because moving underwater without it is fucking horrible.

Besides that, at least in Adventure or Adventure 2 if I pick a Sonic level I get a pure experience.

>>323807192
>infinitely better than genesis games.
Are you actually high or something? Don't hit the bong too long, you're saying seriously nonsensical shit.

>>323807294
I'm being correct, and you're being wrong because apparently "home console" is too much harder to type than "console".

>>323800314
Sonic 3K

Lost World

>>323807707
Literally every act in Colors is beatable without using Wisps.

>>323808145
If you want to deliberately play the game wrong and get shit ranks, sure.

>>323806672
>Slow blocky 2D platforming with wisp gimmickry, 3D barely existing and when it does being shallow as fuck, the same button being used for homing attack and double jump, shit bosses that are all reused except for the last one, all the bosses being insultingly easy, acts that are ENTIRELY some horse shit like riding a flying spring or quickstepping into motobugs, terrible story, embarrassingly childish cutscenes and humor (most of it, anyway), and so on and so on.
So it's Generations?

>>323807953
Alright, first it was obtuse but now youre being a fucking faggot

When people talk about consoles they mean ones that sit on furniture and play discs. When someone says handheld they think of a nintendo or sony portable that plays cartridges and can move around without being plugged in

>>323808262
Might as well throw Fav 2D and 3D track in there too.

>>323808212
>If you want to deliberately play the game wrong
Nah, it was obviously intentionally designed with that in mind.

>and get shit ranks, sure.
If you suck maybe.

>>323808214
Uh, no.
The only things out of that list that could possibly apply are bosses being easy, terrible story, and childish cutscenes and humor.

>>323804527
it has nothing to do with the exclusivity agreement.

sega simply didn't release the remakes because PC and consoles already had a port of 1 and 2.
CD didn't, so it got a port (PC already had it but it doesn't really count)

>>323808262
>empire city
>not adabat

>>323800314
2D on the whole.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles takes top. Though I appreciate Sonic 2, CD, and Advance 1.

I have a soft spot for the Adventure games, and think Unleashed, Colors, and Generations are genuinely good.

>>323808430
>it has nothing to do with the exclusivity agreement.
According to one of the people who worked on the remakes, it did.
The games came to mobile platforms because those weren't part of the agreement.

>sega simply didn't release the remakes because PC and consoles already had a port of 1 and 2.
iOS already had Sonic 1 and 2 as well (I think, I know it at least had 1) yet the platform still received those remakes.

>>323808270
Anon, there's a reason I called it a meme.
It's something a lot of retards keep saying.

>>323808262
skyscraper scamper has the best day theme

But I will give you that it has the best night music

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Advance 3, Sonic Heroes

fight me

>>323808430
You're actually completely wrong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S26_mL8U8bg&t=29m5s

The only reason why the 1/2 remakes were allowed to begin with was because Nintendo didn't see mobile as a competitor, but it prevented it from going onto PC until after the three Nintendo exclusives were released.

>>323808405
you mean in regards to music?

>Fav 2D track
Tidal Tempest and/or Spring Yard Zone

>Fav 3D track
Aquarium Park and/or Skyscraper Scamper Day

>>323808523
I don't know, while I did like adabat, I simply felt like empire city was much more enjoyable.
also the framerate issues in adabat really killed the stage for me thank god unleashed project exists otherwise I'd hate this level

>>323809090
I can't

>>323800314
Sonic 1 2 and 3+knuckles are all equal in my eyes.

as far as 3D I spent the most time on Sonic adventure 2. I stopped generations simply because the annoying limitations on progression were based on gay ass keys and gimmick levels.

2d:
Sonic 3 and sonic rush

3d:
sonic unleashed

the intro of unleashed is top tier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqHxGoFERZw

>>323809298
Best night music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF3XUXWCxBs

>>323809407
I think empire city has really good segments but adabat has better pacing overall.

I think empire city, starting from the bridge run segment and to the end, is one of the best parts of the game. That rail grinding above the highway with the double loop, followed by being rocketed off against the skyscraper and running and quickstepping up it followed by that spiral grind downwards is just ace.

https://youtu.be/xI2sjhWmf4E?t=2m17s

Act 3 was also fucking fun and fast

We need Unleashed 2 with new continents and to follow up on what happened to eggmanland. That level was to good to use only once

>>323809840
Dragon Road though

>>323810603

For the casino stage we never got.

Is unleashed the best ost in sonic history? They even wrote a theme when you mcfuck up and get the worst rank.

>>323813016
It's definitely up there and fits the game's overall presentation perfectly, but I personally prefer Adventure 2 and Black Knight.

>>323801704

>>323812110
Same shit happened with me. Transformed is just way too overwhelming for them. Shit sucks when you get so good at a game and no one wants to play against you because of that.

>>323813287
Where are you black knight fags coming from all of a sudden?

>>323813016
Colors > Unleashed, but only barely.
Sweet Mountain > Planet Wisps

>>323813430
Word of mouth. Both of the Storybook games got deservedly shat on for their terrible gameplay, but those who did play them generally had favorable things to say about their soundtracks and writing. If it wasn't for the waggle they'd be decently solid games.

>>323813672
I got my little cousin sonic and the secret rings way back then and when i saw him again he said it was the best game he ever played. I then played it myself and thought it sucked but, kids could really love it. Did the same with black knight a few years later. The storybook games are really fun for kids but I just cant get into them after being with sonic since 1994.

No that was a decent list and progression. I didnt even remember colors either because of how forgettable it was but i guess the best and only good level in that game was starlight carnival act 1. I havent even played the game gear games but they look bad
