>>257875224
thats not even the worst design in the game. Its pretty close to the CD version.

Metal Sonic really never worked 'longer'.
They need to redesign his torso instead of just added a half circle to the bottom.

>>257875352
Yeah just like Sonic and Knuckles redesigns were works in progress right

The longer these characters get, the weirder it seems that they don't have necks.

Easy.
Ignore or forget all the concepts and ideas from the 90s that everyone loved.
Water down the few good ideas that are left.
Strip the gameplay mechanics bare until every game reeks of mediocrity.
Bland, shallow, forced characterization and retarded stories.
Redesign all the characters to look far more stupid and uncanny valley.
Reduce previously useful beloved characters to useless unlikeable side roles.
Take popular fan feedback at face value and stretch it to such extremes that the games get more fucked up so you can blame the series problems on the fans.
Not give a shit about anything but money.

There you have it. The recipe for modern Sonic.

>>257875352

>The very worst game in the line-up was Sega’s Sonic Boom, which was so unspeakably awful we couldn’t even force ourselves to play through the whole demo. Sonic: Lost World might have been a disappointment, but at least it seemed to be trying. Sonic Boom is just a hateful bore of a game, that seems to exist only as a showcase for every mistake you could possibly make when creating a 3D action adventure.

>The camera is constantly staring at the floor, or anywhere other than where you’re going, the combat lacks any kind of skill or tactility, and the puzzles and level design are so migraine-inducingly banal it almost seems like some sort of meta criticism of the whole genre. The fact that the new character designs are so ugly, and the graphics look like a first wave Xbox 360 game, are so far down the list of problems we dread to think what else the final game will get wrong.

>>257878380

Don't. Why should SEGA get away with making games of this "quality" and still somehow make money? If this is the future of Sonic, I'd honestly rather see the franchise dead.

Do Sonic fans (and by fans I mean the full-blown autists who post on the Sonic Stadium) actually have a threshold for shit? Could SEGA release a game so bad that even they wouldn't play it and DEFEND it.

I love roger craig smiths sonic voice

>>257878769
Considering even Sonic Stadium's been for months basically 3 people going "but this looks good" vs 20 going "this was supposed to be good it has plot why is it shit" and a few more going "it's always looked shit", SEGA's dropping the ball hard with this

Which is fine by me, they're focusing on Alien Isolation instead and that's good

I think the game was moved to cry engine 4 guys

They're given carte blanche to explore story and establish the characters, so they make Knuckles even dumber, remove all his interesting traits except "he's strong", randomly shove some of them into Amy, make her "stronggurl" (at least seems that way in the game based on bios and whatnot- the cartoon has everyone being goofier), have Sonic exude ten times the cheese of Colours.

25% of the time at most. Adventure 2 is a bizarre late 90's sci-fi conspiracy story that's only not mocked nowadays because of nostalgia, Heroes and Shadow and 06 were a mess... outside small moments like Chaotix being badass in Shadow or some stuff in Rush, the series hasn't quite proven the grasp on multiple characters yet

probably because early when they shoved everyone the stories didn't work and now the stories work fans don't understand you can't just shove 30 heroes in them

Sidekicks going back to "HEY SONIC HEY SONIC HEY SONIC" while you're trying to play the game is not a good design choice. Banter needs to be kept to cutscenes and special areas in stages, not every two seconds when you're trying to platform.

Though considering how automated this game looks that shouldn't be an issue. But it's still fucking annoying.

I'll admit I am on board with some decent writing.

>>257883991
Everytime I see demand for an Adventure 3- not a return to platforming alone, a specific return to the Adventure era- it's always in the context of "there's not enough playable characters and the stories are too comedic and I don't like this"

>>257878609
Well, we found the thing they fucked up

>>257883725

Eggman's the comedy villain in this. He's basically Gilgamesh to Lyric's Exdeath.

>>257879980
Because Bass is edgy done right.

He's basically just a robot programmed for one thing "be the strongest robot" and to that end he just screws Dr. Wily over more times than he actually helps the guy. He's more of a joke than a serious character,r eally.

Bass.exe has the whole "secret end boss challenge" thing to him where you play the whole game just to fight him, kinda like how in the Kingdom hearts series, all your gameplay has led you to fight Sephiroth/the lost remnant/Xemnas/Young Xehanort/Julian

With the Sonic Dash game as popular as it is, we will see a Chao iPhone eventually.

It will be absolutely awful and filled with DLC in app purchases though so bear in mind that it will be abysmal. As such, it will be hated by anyone with sense and SEGA will have more excuses to hate and shit on their fans.

Because Archie actually has talented comic writers at the end of the day, but most of them can't flex their muscles because Sonic and Co. have strict rules in Do's and Don'ts. So that leaks onto all of their OC's in turn, a good chunk for the better, the reason why we did a reboot for the latter...
