What do you think the 25th anniversary game will be? Do you think it'll be another Sonic Adventure-like game? We know Crush 40 is involved but that's grasping at straws since they were involved in Generations as well. Hell, it could also be Sonic Generations 2, for all we know.

>>323607480
I think the worst part about sonic boom is the voice acting. The only new voices that are actually good is knuckles, tails, and amy. Sonic and shadow are fucking awful. Which is weird because sonic sounds ok in the games but shadow is just pure shit. Jason griffith needs to be shadow again

If you want 2D: Advance series

If you want 3D: Adventure 2, Unleashed, Generations

A majority of Sonic games are easy to emulate or cheap on steam. The only one thats stuck on consoles is Sonic Unleashed, and you'll need more than the renting time to beat it. If you can find Unleashed for like 10 or 20 bucks its a good investment and pretty long game and theres tons of side missions, things to collect, hubs etc that are polished and interesting. The npcs actually have side stories

>>323610053

>>
>>323607691
It's a stretch but I want a Sonic game like Generations but instead Sonic goes through Sega's history of games in re-imagined stages to fit the boost gameplay.
>>
Sequel when
>>
>>323609509
It flops around a bit during the first few episode, but then it finds it's footing about a quarter of the way into the season and the majority from that point on are good.
>>
>>323607480
So, Sonic confirmed for being a cuck?
>>
>>323610096

I'm told its worth playing both the wii version and the hd versions. i enjoyed the hell out of unleashed on the 360.

>>323610238
SEGA hates money and good games, so never.
>>
>>323610053
I didn't want to use Mario because it was too easy
>>
>>323610373
The wii/ps2 version is fucking terrible. The day stages are terribly hacked together and there are way more night stages. Continents were removed, hubs are gone, mechanics are lacking, speed is way slower compared to the other one.

Stick to unleashed 360/ps3. Its a much fuller feeling game if that makes sense.
>>
>>323610616
Night stages weren't bad to me, the combat was easy but pretty fun, and the slow platforming was very solid, I don't really run into any glitches in those levels, it just feels like more love went into it.

The werehog is stupid as hell, so i think that makes people overlook how well down the night stages actually were.
>>
All the people considering sonic boom, there's an episode where knuckles is made mayor
>>
>>323610956
I like the night stages to but I'm saying the unleashed wii has way more night stages than the 360 one.

The night stages on xbox have great platforming and scenery. I agree with all that except I thought the werehog was cute. Just nothing to do with the wii version thoguh
>>
What ever sega does, They better just focus on one release. No slightly different portable versions, if you need to do that, make a new game entirely.

If this is gonna be the year of sonic, i just hope for something like this

Sonic Battle 2 with online.
Sonic Adventure 3/Generations / the big main course title.
Sonic Sonic rush 3.

I would even be happy with sonic 4 part 3, or sonic 5

I need help, i can't hate the series because the gameplay is never that bad to me, even though i see the flaws.

>>323602279
So are they remaking the Genesis games with Generations graphics?

Seems like the safest route Sega could take.
>>
>>323609509
Every episode is itself hit and miss. There's always good jokes and terrible ones in each episode. Overall it's worth putting up with the bad for the good, if you ask me.
>>
>>323602464
I want them to do this. I want them to fix the game, re-dub it, and release it as "Sonic '06: Good Edition" or another similar title.
>>
>>323604441

Jajajaja

It took me so off guard I laughed in spanish.
>>
>>323611640
They will still probably mess up the physics though since they haven't given up havok yet.
>>
>>323611791
>Havok

I swear seeing that logo when starting a game is like a warning.
>>
>>323611640
If they're going to have the same (lack of) physics Generations had then no thanks.
>>
>>323611640
If it isn't 3D, then it's honestly a waste. The fun from Gens regarding the stages was seeing how well they were reimagined in 3D.
>>
>>323611707
>all the reveiws will call it shit

I am actually convinced many the game informer reveiwer for generations didn't actually play it

Like, they docked it for having crysis city.

Sonic 06 aside, Crysis city was cool as fuck. and the generations level made it a good level
>>
>>323612108
A good 2D Sonic done correctly would be infinitely better than what little good Generations offered.
>>
>>323607396
Far better. It has actual humor rather than characters just being annoying for 11 minutes.
>>
>>323611791
>>323612061
Why is havoc bad? it seems like a fairly solid engine, just not for sonic games. I've never really looked into game engines, what even are they? i get that it helps game production, just not how
>>
>>323612430
Then I don't see the point in a remake. If I want to play Sonic 1, I'll play Sonic 1.

Make an all new Classic game, if they want that.
>>
>>323612548

It is a physics engine, I think HL2 used it, Brawl used it too.
>>
>>323609509
Starts off hit and miss, but finds its groove after a while. It consistently gets good after episode 15 or so.
>>
>>323612732
I knew that, but people seem to hate it. what is its big flaw? I know people tend to hate Gamebryo to, but i don't know what flaws it has either

It feels very raw, like, not polished and for those who don't want to learn physics when making a complex game.

Compare it to euphoria for example (the one used on all rockstar games since GTA IV), the ragdolls actually have an AI and react to everything they're exposed to.

Yeah i too liked the series i wish they would make a fourth game but both the company and the series ended.

I guess it's a buggy engine? At least in regards to poorly programmed games. Dark Souls and the Bethesda fallout games use Havok too

No reviewer bothers playing Sonic games anymore, not since after 06. They just record video of themselves fucking around doing nothing and claim it's the fault of the game. Sonic is literally the only franchise where the player being shit is considered the game's fault.

>>323611791
>>323612061
>>323612072
Havok has nothing to do with how the game controls, just the physics used for destructible objects like when you ram into things while boosting.
>>
>>323613069
Sequels can have sequels too. This is 2016, you gotta be more progressive
>>
>>323613191
Lost World felt different but i'm pretty sure the physics in Gens Sonic were calculated by havoc itself.

I gotta be honest and this could have just been my own experieance, but I found less repeatable Game breaking bugs in Sonic 06 then i did mario galaxy

>>323613448
Unleashed and Gens had different control physics; there's a mod that lets you import the former to the latter as part of the latter if you prefer that. So the physics for how the game actually controls are definitely determined by the dev team, and it's only because Gens was literally shat out at the last minute because some intern reminded them that Sonic's 20th anniversary was coming up that Classic Sonic's physics were so garbage.

It's possible to have solid controls while still using Havok for environmental physics, the devs just need to actually give a shit for once.

Because like every other Sonic Dimps game after Rush Adventure, they gave Dimps a handful of months to do it. So they already had the physics good to go from the DS games, but any new level design and graphical elements didn't have time to be polished.

Literally every problem in the history of Sonic can be attributed to executives pushing the game out too quickly, or Iizuka.

It is the pinnacle of mediocrity. It isn't even all that bad, it's just bland, boring, sterile and not all that good. It is perhaps the most average and uninteresting Sonic game to ever exist.

>>323620318
Where would you get that assumption? I didn't say it's on every platform I own, I said I played it on every platform I own that has it. Being Wii U, 3DS, and PC.

The left side of this image continues to trigger the fuck out of my autism

For some reason SEGA has taken to using those weird mountains from Quartz Quadrant Present in the background of Green Hill Zone - this isn't the first time I've seen them used. Also the shadow underneath the grass on the left hand Green Hill is way too small compared to how it was in Sonic 1. As for the clouds, I have no fucking idea where those come from but they sure don't look like the OG Green Hill clouds to me

How is it that they even manage to fuck up simple copy-pasting of Sonic 1 sprite assets? My mind is blown
>>
Can we discuss the fact that Crush 40 leaked their involvement?

They're going back to main theme songs after abandoning them after Colors.
>>
>>323607724
I have to admit I like sort of like his new design even though making him taller looks kind of weird.
>>
>>323620942
I think Crush 40 overstayed their welcome, if I'm honest. I found it a breath of fresh air when they got the guy from Bowling For Soup to do Unleashed's theme. Cash Cash for Sonic Colors was alright too
>>
>>323620942
I hope it means that Sonic Adventure 3 is going to officially happen, if it does my child self will get excited and i'll play the shit out of it day 1 then i'll drop the franchise forever unless generations 2 comes along or something

but can anyone defeat knight of the wind sonic the hedgehog? and i dont mean regular knight of the wind sonic the hedgehog. i mean full-power knight of the wind with gold sacred armor and fused excalibur w/all 100 arabian rings and 7 world rings which let him turn into darkspine and use fire abilities and warp time fly and regenerate with the soul guage, the seven chaos emeals enhanced with the master emeral so he can turn into hyper sonic energy projection and clone ability of excalibur together with no emotions when he turns into darkspine . i dont think so

Makes sense actually. Sonic has actually had better chemistry and scenes with Blaze so far. They had a hot cold relationship in Rush but she always looked up to him and he thought she was cool and not annoying like amy. If anyone else managed to play black knight, there was tons of sonic and blaze material in there.

I dont see why they cant recycle a bunch of assets from generations and use them to make new levels.

They could make the death egg from the classic sonic boss fight area. They can make final rush with the shadow boss fight area. They can use the casino pinball bonus to make a casino level from sonic 2 or heroes. They can use stardust speedway from the metal sonic boss fight to make a real stardust speedway level.

Speed highway, city escape, and rooftop run could be used to make another urban city level. Green hill can be retooled into emerald hill. Generations is a game ripe for recycling and reusing assets and just building off of them. Fuck they could even go back to unleashed and pull some of that data to make ice cap or angel island with holoska or adabat. The hedgehog engine is fucking amazing

Yeah because you were a dumb kid with no responsibilities beyond grade school.

>>323628230
You just dont see it. Amy is sonics cuck and they will never ever fug. Blaze for the games, literally every other girl in the comics. Sonic is a pure alpha in those

>>323628234
The advance trilogy as a whole is great, but Unleashed is top tier and probably the best 3D Sonic

>>323628690
They just take it at face value. Probably because amy is the first sonic gal and the blue/pink color dynamic is very suggestive and fits perfectly like yin/yang. Sonic doesnt care for amy outside of saving her, he can totally get it on with blaze if he wanted or numerous girls from the comics

>>
>>323630909
For someone like Sonic, yeah. Compared to other videogame characters, not really.

>it was a great future

I think of it like other platformers.
In Mario games, I'm always holding down the B button to run.
In Mega Man X/Zero/ZX, I'm constantly dashing.
In Sanic 3D I'm always boosting.
So in LW, there's nothing wrong with having a run button.

That said, the level design itself is boring as shit. The best 3D Sonic levels are rooted in reality, not floating planetoids. Look at City Escape. Terminal Velocity. Emerald Coast. Launch Base. All of them are places you might expect to see in some unspecified time in the future or even today.
Lost World just gives you a bunch of disconnected spheres with a spring connecting them.

If you want the same shit that doesn't smell as bad then play Generations(at least they tried with the level design more in that game)

If I have to play a 3D Sonic Game(if I absolutely have to) then I'll play Adventure 1/2(the Sonic/Shadow stages only)...and I don't even like them that much and have a lot of issues with them but at least those control fairly well and not like a car like the Boost Stages do

In that pic its obvious that sonic is trying to ditch her so he can go on adventuring, running, helping someone in trouble, whatever he likes doing. Both sonics are immature. The 90s one is a smart ass punk type. The new one is radical and cocky. Both have a good heart.

No he doesn't


Classic Sonic was 16 too
According to the Sonic JAM Manual he was 16(pic related)
It's just Sega being faggots trying to tell us that Classic Sonic was Modern Sonic when he was a kid but that's a whole load of bullshit

Classic Sonic is 16
Sega doesn't give a fuck about canon so when they redesigned the characters for Adventure(which was basically a reboot of the series) they de-aged Sonic to 15,they aged Amy and Tails to 12,kept Knuckles at 16 I think

That has to be the most laughable pot calling kettle black I've seen in a while.

Anyway on topic and autism aside, I think it's really time to let him go as fans. There have been recent decent titles, that is absolutely true..but nothing we ever ask for will ever replace what we had as kids. Sonic as a character and mascot has not only transitioned poorly over the years, but the older games we loved were shallow and have aged poorly. The dev teams and direction for the series will never ever be the same, and we're just stuck in the sega cycle. It's time to move on, Modern sega and sonic team are incapable of making sonic a nostalgia mean blue blur again.
>>
>>323635446
You're missing the point here
What I'm trying to say here is that the Modern Sonic Universe and the Classic Sonic Universe are completely separate entities

I.E Classic Sonic isn't Kid Modern Sonic...that's just bullshit faggotry from Neo Sonic Team's part...the same faggots who thought that Knuckles story in Sonic 3 & Knuckles took place at the exact same time as Sonic's story(which if you've played the game you know that doesn't make sense)

Being able to stop the Chaos Emeralds is a pretty fucking huge deal especially in stopping Super Sonic so Eggman can fuck shit up easier.

Though if Unleashed intro is anything to go by, Eggman can at least restrain Super Sonic if he gets him off guard.

Also rip Big

Sonic is and always has been a mediocre franchise whose only reason of survival is autism, furries and overall mental illnesses.
The amount of plain bad games it's had outdo by far the amount of passable games. I seriously doubt there even exists another franchise that has the same grade of recognition as Sonic's, who's easily as recognizable as Mario or Donkey Kong for example, while also having such a huge quatity of awful games under its belt.

Just go ahead and try to prove me wrong.

PC version of Racing Transformed came a few months later. The original was only a few days later. Valkyria Chronicles came to PC 6 years after the PS3 version, and there are new VC games announced, none of which have PC versions. It's safe to say they don't care about PC anymore, starting at around 2012.

Either that, or significantly delayed PC versions is exponentially more profitable than day 1 PC versions.

Angel Island in SA1 is as large as it is in 3&K in the cutscenes. There was just no reason to render it as a full area. The dreamcast probably couldn't handle it regardless
>>
>>323639739
The werehog is not "so bad". Its just not as exciting as the day levels but its still well put together, fully developed instead of randomly tacked on, and has great levels and music

Unleashed is much much better than colors and about equal to generations.

>>323639409
>tfw we'll unleashedfags won't admit it was mediocre
I mean it did translate boostan from rush into 3d well but it just didn't have any level design at all. For the most part it was just a straight path to the end in the day levels while Colors at the very least had some variation in that regard where boosting wasn't the be all end all and it followed into gens well.

To sum things up unleashed is the only boost to win game.
>>
Unleashed was Okay
Generations was Okay at best. (Classic zones are shit , modern is okay enough to pass ,why add in 2D Sections??)
Colors was uninspired , and okay to say the least. the controls were unintuitive , the music and the cast was forgetable and stages were like a mess of different ideas Also a literal mario galaxy rip-off
Please stop praising Generations as "great" its an okay sonic game. Its not as great as you make it seem
I still 100% Generations tho.

My biggest problem with the Anniversary one. It was brilliant playing as classic Sonic (AKA. Real Sonic) But like 65-70% of the game was catered to Modern Sonic (AKA Edgy Sonic)

Am I the only one upset that this bullshit will delay the current arcs in the comics by a year now? Eggman's arc, Silver's arc, the unleashed arc? All now put on hold because Sega demands a story ment to celebrate 5 years of decent and 20 of mediocre to below average crap from the video games and will not allow anybody who isn't Sonic,Tails,Orbot,Cubot and Eggman to do anything. Amy and Knuckles may get a short cameo like in Lost World but Sega's more or less thrown them in the trash with all the other characters at the insistence of the game's constantly angry fanbase.

It's almost like it's a licensed comic book based on a pre-existing video game franchise and tying into the main franchise is one of the things they should be doing, instead of making completely irrelevant and unrelated autistic fanfiction about secret brotherhoods of retards where the actual characters from the games do nothing important despite their names being on the title of the book.

>>323634126
>If you want the same shit that doesn't smell as bad then play Generations(at least they tried with the level design more in that game)
Generations is horrible for speedruns, at least speedruns that look interesting.

Generations is, fortunately for the general player, a lot less buggy and solid as a game. There's a few glitches, but you can't really fly off from the stage and then jump off a rock to the goal ring. This means that you're limited by the level design, at least, much less than Unleashed.

Unleashed has shit like that, and it's entertaining as fuck to watch.

Just compare these two runs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w66GvVjQ2mI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oaBSvwxz44

Unleashed has bigger skips, and is generally a lot more impressive to watch because he goes onto a wall, hits it, and then flies off. Generations, while it's interesting to see Sonic jump over literally everything, doesn't have the wow factor of seeing a blue hedgehog fly off into the air and into the other part of the stage and then wall run on the air.

To say that Unleashed is a shit game in general without looking at what it can do well is like saying that Super Metroid is shitty because it doesn't have combat on par with DMC. Judge a game by all of it's aspects rather than just saying that it's shit because you don't like it.

Think about what sonic is

A blue hedgehog racing around surreal bizarre worlds to save animals captured by a fat mad scientist with an iq of 300. The very premise of sonic is strange and makes no sense. Since his career he has been a knight, a werehog, and raced in a car. It doesnt matter because the character is flexible and can easily adapt to different roles and settings

Battling a dead scientists experiment (biolizard) or destroying a god of darkness at the center of the earth (dark gaia) makes for a much more interesting and exciting story and scenes than just static jokes with tails or baldy mcnosehair. Come on man. Colors, generations, and lost world have fucking boring stories. Unleashed is the last well written entertaining sonic story.
>>
>>323643187
Unleashed is a trip around the world to stop a big monster which is a perfectly serviceable story. Hell, Unleashed's writing is fine even in the game. Lost World is a goddamn mess, but "six oni want to eat Sonic" is not a hard arc to make work and it's creative in a way the old book usually wasn't.

I know a lot of people feel all "no, sonic games arent meant to be serious its about a blue hedgehog!" but they've already gone down that route and to be honest, it's not so bad.

all this joking was pretty ok at first, but they're leaving way too many interesting, fun characters in the dust because of it.
>>
>>323643187
What's going on in the unleashed arc now? Last I checked Sonic and Rotor ran into Rotor's dad and he turned out to be an Eggman flunkie then Sonic turned werehog and they busted out of the place while saving some humans. Then we switched over to Silver's era and he met this cutie named Gold and that guy from the AoSH Sonic and they now have to deal with a time eater like monster that came out of a genesis portal and I think the Babaylon rogues just got their asses beat by another eggman flunkie who looks like a peligan in a pirate hat.

It was either a review or a gameplay video on IGN around the time the game released. The player as shown in that gif, reaches his hand out (in real life) for imaginary roses (on the screen), has difficulty drawing a basic circle, is completely incapable of drawing a straight line until the Nintendo rep takes the controller from him and does it for him. I believe they later reviewed the game claiming it was too hard.

>Unleashed writing is fine in even in the game

What writing? The whole games story is nothing but a premise, there is no real story development other than the beginning and the end. So the comics try and jazz it up a bit, but they're not doing a good job. I don't know why you keep trying to convince me, it's not like I haven't been giving the reboot a chance, I've read them all other than like the last 4 issues, and I haven't read the latest crossover because it also looked like shit.

The reboot is not good. That is my opinion. The story is cheesy, the pacing is slow, and the writers don't seem to know what they want to do with any of it. As I said, it seems like they are winging it more than anything. If you like it, that's fine, but their is an obvious decline in quality that I'm envious of you for not seeing.
>>
>>323643308
Exactly. I mean most people would rather have an adventure/unleashed style story of racing around the world to fix it over a colors/lost world (generations has a terrible story but i can forgive it since the subject of time travel and voicing classic sonic is hard to properly handle) styled story where fucking nothing but jokes and cringe happens.
>>
>>323643358
They ran across an Egg Boss and Freedom Fighter splinter faction who are working together to keep a forced power balance because they think it'll keep their home region stable and relatively peaceful. If you read the comics pre-reboot, think of what was going on with the Downunda Freedom Fighters during the first Sonic Universe Knuckles arc. Silver Age finished, next Universe arc is supposed to be centered around Eggman and his Egg Bosses fighting the Naugus and Wendy Witchcart.

Nobody's bitching that you think the comics are shit. That's your opinion.

But saying that a licensed comic shouldn't be close to the source material is fucking retarded and you're stupid for thinking so.
>>
>>323643223
>Think about what sonic is
A blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with super speed and an attitude who likes stopping the evil machinations of an evil scientist who is trying to dominate the world.

That's what sonic should have stayed as only going as far as Sonic Rush in terms of depth and story. Going further in and bringing over the top elements like Gods and ancients is just jumping the shark even for this series and more often than not leaves a disjointed feeling between what the characters and the tone of the story. A lot of the more serious Sonic stories have been really bad and aside from the initial rocky jump to 3D are probably one of the few things throwing sonic down the shitter lately, it's like throwing Johnny Test into something like the Matrix while trying to keep both of them the same. It just doesn't work.

You think so? I gotta disagree. I really liked the tone of adventure 1 (though im not sure if it was intentional or just because of that mysterious, kind of scary feeling early 3d games had) and the ending provided a great sense of "shits going down". Adventure 2 it started getting edgy and making the matters of humanity more personal. It felt edgier but sillier at the same time, compared to adventure 1 and its mysterious and dark with moments of lightheartedness thrown around frquenently.

Heroes ditched both of these themes and went for a simple story that worked enough to carry the game. Colors did the same thing.

Sonic 06 is a mess on all fronts and clearly unfinished, so i dont think its fair to fully judge it. What was released on the disc though, is fanfiction tier that was trying to recapture that dark tone the adventure games had.

Unleashed, to me, striked the perfect balance of silliness while still providing high stakes drama and events. The plot was fixing up the world and restoring continents after a literal dark god was unsealed, but a lot of the cutscenes between that was sonic and chip learning about each other, sonic accepting that he transformed, professor pickle and tails shenangins, amy wandering around looking for sonic, sonic and tails talking about ending it. The ending of unleashed still, thanks to all the great buildup and premise, was delivered fantastically and felt like a real finisher.

I dont remember lost world well enough to comment on that. I rushed through it, ignored cutscenes, didnt replay or bother to fix low scores etc. But i do know that unleashed has my favorite story in sonic with adventure 1 right behind it.

You say that but the best Modern Sonic games have been on Nintendo platforms.
You have to remember that sonic ease never about a grandiose plot but mechanics that made you feel like you're going fast but still completely in control with an added high score feature or two.

It should be what you can do within the game that keeps you interested rather than the need to know a story.

Oh i see, never played kid icarus and I found smash brothers to be really boring to play. Maybe if i was a nintendo fan I would care more about it but I dont care for any of the characters and the fighting was really basic. Not even werehog tier, but just up/down/left/right a and b attacks forever and mashing the right stick.

It just wasnt fun for me idk and the characters dont mean squat to me since i didnt grow up with them.

>>323645985
No its not. The adventure games are flawed but decent and were dreamcast games with gamecube and pc ports. Heroes is the same case, flawed but really fun when it works right and multiplat. Sonic 2006 was a blunder but no one could have foretold that happening. Sonic unleashed - best 3D Sonic to date. Generations, a fantastic anniversary and nostalgia game. Most sonic games have those features youre talking about so I dont know why you bring that up like only the nintendo sonics do.

Shit, now you've really changed my outlook on things.
>>
>>323645862
The example was shitty, but whatever.

The point is that you can't say the game is shit just because it doesn't appeal to you. Sonic is, nowadays anyway, about going fast and getting better times. While they used to be about keeping momentum and finding the best path (and while Gens does do a good job of keeping to this ideaology for both Classic and Modern Sonic), the best ways to get good times is by simply breaking the game and abusing physics (this was also true in the Genesis games, although their speedruns are more about glitching through a wall and going to the end that way).

>>323643185
I selected Rooftop Run as the stage was shared, and had some similar parts.

The Chemical Plant and Seaside Hill speedruns are quite impressive though. Chemical Plant has a pretty decent skip, and Seaside Hill is literally just "bro just go around the stage". Personally don't like the runner too much, as he acted like a self-entitled ass for badly modding in 06 stages, but whatever.

Posting them because they're short and interesting to watch.

I believe he's just skipping the trigger to load in the next chunk of the stage.

The Hedgehog Engine (that's the graphical engine, it's actually quite intreresting) loads the stages in chunks, if I remember correctly. I'm guessing there's a trigger at points to load the stage, and since he's just simply bypassing the whole thing altogether, and because Sonic Team weren't expecting people to do that, the stage simply doesn't load in until he hits the next trigger.

For Chemical Plant, I'm guessing it's the same thing. He goes fast enough to fly off when he hits the ramp, and is then fast enough to bypass whole chunks of the stage, comes back onto it, and then hits the next trigger to load in the next chunk of the stage.

I don't exactly know how rendering works in Generations, so I can't really comment much, but the same thing kind of happens in Unleashed, although it eventually does appear once you get close enough. I'm guessing this was a form of optimization, and ST weren't expecting speedrunners to completely break the rendering.
>>
>>323650351
No, it's a bad game. More than half of the game is the shitty werehog stuff, with braindead combat and stupidly simple platforming. The daytime stuff is better but only like a third of the levels are any good, and they all have awful 2D sections. Then there's all the bullshit padding and the terrible story. It's better than pure garbage like 06 and Boom but it's still a bad game.

Thats funny since most Sonic games have this shit. SA2 SA held back by shitty gameplay modes for the other characters same with 06 except it was even more glitchy. Unleashed is the only game in recent years to not be super broken and fall through a stage unless you know how to M Speed.

Go and relook at all the levels before you say shit about werehog being more then half the game. Irritates the shit out of me you guys can't count. Besides werehog levels aren't that long unless you stopped to fight every enemy since you don't in most cases unless the camera shows you are blocked off.

I don't see people complaining about the mod for Generations that ported the Unleashed levels still the same shit just a tad different physics. I'm guessing you didn't bother to look at the combo list and just mashed like a idiot. Since there are actual moves in that game that help speed up platforming and have you move quick.

Be honest Unleashed is what started setting 3d Sonic right in the first place. Since people enjoyed Sonic Colors and Generations.

And yeah its not bad as Sonic 06 or Boom but it has a much more complete cinematic story then Colors or Generations without being cringey. And its not stupidly serious like Sonic 06's story.

Look I'm not saying Unleashed is the best sonic game but you make it seem like its dogshit when its really not the case. People just look at the bad and try to make a huge deal about it. More than half of the side shit in that game you don't even have to worry about.

Honestly I say the game was held back by terrible hardware and they didn't optmize it enough to work perfectly. Which is why the fps drops are terrible in ps3 version. Hopefully we get a PC version where people will give it a 2nd chance to play it properly.

I bought my brother unleashed and generations for his birthday back in 2012 when he started getting into sonic. He was in 3rd grade at the time. He fucking loved them so hard and I ended up loving them too.

I later took it upon myself to buy him a wii u with lost world and I noticed he didnt play it as much after beating it. I played through that one and could see why. Im sorry for doing that to you brother. You deserve better. I hope this years sonic game is good just so I can see him have that much fun again like he did with unleashed and gens.

Things I'm excited for:

>Another Generations with more levels
>More Classic Sonic, Hopefully classic Knuckles joins the fray.
>It's actually been a pretty long time since we've seen Modern Sonic, will be relieving to see the mainline series back.
>On off chance, would be great to see more classic era characters return like the Chaotix did for Heroes (Nack, Mighty, Ray, Bean, Bark)
>Holding out hope for more handheld representation. Sonic Advance levels, Emerl/Gemerl, Game Gear throwbacks

Things I'm worried about:

>Boom being present in that promo art makes me SUPER WORRIED.
>While Generations was the shit, theres only been Lost World and Boom since then. Not much has been added.
>It would feel kind of bittersweet that the best two Sonic games in the last few years are essentially "best of" albums.
>Sonic Team has been really quiet...that's always terrifying.

>SA2 SA held back by shitty gameplay modes
The majority of the gameplay styles in the Adventure games weren't nearly as bad as the werehog. The only ones that are as bad were Big's stuff and the SA2 Knuckles/Rouge stages, and they took up far less time than the werehog shit.

>Go and relook at all the levels before you say shit about werehog being more then half the game.
I'm not talking about level count, I'm talking about play time. You spend more than half of the game's play time as the werehog.

>I don't see people complaining about the mod for Generations that ported the Unleashed levels
No shit because that cuts out all of the bullshit filler. And even then only a handful of the levels are any good.

>I'm guessing you didn't bother to look at the combo list and just mashed like a idiot. Since there are actual moves in that game that help speed up platforming and have you move quick.
It's still simple, boring, and tedious to play. And all of the combat moves in the world do mean a thing if the enemies don't put up a fight. If you found the werehog sections acceptable then you either never played a game with decent combat or have ridiculously low standards.

>Be honest Unleashed is what started setting 3d Sonic right in the first place. Since people enjoyed Sonic Colors and Generations.
People enjoyed the superior follow ups that fixed Unleashed's problems, yeah. People also enjoyed the Adventure games which handled 3D Sonic far better than Unleashed. And even those didn't get it completely right.

>it has a much more complete cinematic story then Colors or Generations without being cringey.
>without being cringey
Holy fuck you are delusional.

>Look I'm not saying Unleashed is the best sonic game but you make it seem like its dogshit when its really not the case. People just look at the bad and try to make a huge deal about it.
Because the bad stuff greatly outweighs the good, and it's a bad game overall.

>>323643538
is he actually trying to reach for the rose or something? i'm confused
>>
>>323652746
Probably because he imitates Dan Green's Knuckles voice
>>
>>323653024
that seems kinda lazy
>>
>>323653073
Eh, it works well enough.
>>
>>323653073
Not really. If you get hired on to play an iconic character you're going to look at what they sounded like previously and try to sound like it.

Most of the new voice cast do that.
>>
So why the fuck did Sega stop making games like Colors and Generations again? They had finally found a way to make 3D Sonic games that were not complete trash, and they decided "fuck it, let's try and make Sonic Galaxy, and then reboot the entire franchise with Boom"?
>>
>>323653094
I guess but why not keep green, I can't imagine it would cost that much to keep him
>>
Thatd be cool if they did a super collection of all the mainline games. The original games + CD would all be under a gig. Adventure 1, 2, heroes are like 2gb each. They can either skip sonic 06 or try to bandage it up and make it more playable, either works since its not that great of a game to begin with, glitched or not.

Unleashed is probably like 10-15gb. And generations is around 13gb if i remember right. Of course theyd all be touched up and in 1080/60fps. Along with bonus stuff and features, the usual. Maybe a few mini games like outrun styled levels where you infinitely run through predetermined level pieces using drift, quick step, and slide to race to the end.

This + the main 25th anniversary game would be awesome
>>
>>323653121
none of the sonic VA sound alike at all though
>>
>>323653148
Boom was never meant to be a reboot or replace the main series.
It was always treated as a spinoff. It's made by Big Red Button, not Sega.
>>
>>323653148
I assume they figured there was nothing left to do with boost and tried to go a different direction with Lost World.

Boom isn't a reboot.

Boom is an interesting game, if only because they got fucking CRYENGINE to work on the Wii U. It's almost as impressive as DMC4 running on a Pentium 4 system.
>>
>>323653148
The thing is the Lost World gameplay could work if they fixed it up a little. Make horizontal movement speed the same as vertical, tighten up the parkour shit, bring back traditional levels (that are better designed), and cut the 2D shit and gimmicks. But instead of improving on it they'll scrap it and try something new AGAIN.
>>
>>323653220
Colleen Villard sounds EXACTLY like Kate Higgins. I didn't even notice they changed Tails' voice when Boom came out.
>>
>>323653152
I guess SEGA wanted a clean slate for the VAs (only exception being Pollock) or it might've been a location thing.
>>
>>323651524
Oh shit, it's Zoney.

How's Knuckle's Unleashed coming along?

I'm still interested to see how moddable Unleashed is, as I think it's better than Generations in terms of gameplay.

>>323653528
>that spoiler
muh nigga, Unleashed is better

new thread when. I'm surprised there was actual discussion of Sonic
>>

>>323653517
Sonic has had the same Japanese VA for 18 years.
Pretty much all of the English VA changes are because of contract fuckery.
They were changed when 4kids gained the rights to localize Sonic X, and then maybe it was easier to use those same voices for the games. Then 4kids went bankrupt, and they had to find new voices.

Why isn't Sonic finished in japan now that Smeggman's Seiyu is dead?

They're usually pretty banal about these things.
>>
>>323653994
Because Sonic will live as long as Sega does. He keeps the lights on.
>>
>>323620848
See this? This is why people say the Sonic fanbase is autistic. We all see the errors, anon, but keep it to yourself.

>the world's last echidna

Is sonic world meant to be a dystopian future? I figured it was just knuckles's clan that was wiped out, not the entire echidna species
That's got to be a troubled existence knowing that once your dead your entire species will be gone forever
