You're right, OP.

Graphically this game is a lot more beautiful than Mania

Sonic Team just can't be beaten in the graphics department. Not even Nintendo could put something out this visually stunning.

>>382728979
There has NEVER been a good Sonic game. I'm surprised it's still relevant

>>382729189
This is the truth

>>382728979
No it isn't.

Sonic literally stopped being good and removed itself from the halls of video game stardom and respect when they stopped making sonic look like this and more like a creepy weeb teenager wearing a fursuit

He should look like an animal mascot, not a fucking creepy humanoid


Normal healthy people have stayed the fuck away ever since he changed.

Not only that, but the music in his games started getting cringey as fuck lyrics, another turnoff.

It went from being a cultural staple of the artform, with people like Michael Jackson being big fans, to being literally something that no one wants to be associated with

I doubt it's a Switch screenshot so that doesn't say much considering it's on considerably better hardware

>>382729372
I mean personally I have a boner for Saturn esque shit so Mania looks better to me.

>He should look like an animal mascot, not a fucking creepy humanoid
Was the pic you posted supposed to be the animal mascot, or the creepy humanoid? Or both? Because that's what he looks like.

He's more akin to Mickey Mouse, he has rounder features and is more spherical in general, his eyes are solid black and cartoonish, his head and spikes have a "vortex" like shape that makes his whole posture look circular and spin ready even when standing


Now compare to pic related

It may as well be not even be the same character. Yes it's got the same colours, the same rough aesthetic, but the details and design principles are all fucked up and it literally looks like a strange creepy soviet knockoff

Sonic will never start being good again until they realise their fuckup

>>382732330
hyperbole the post

>>382728979
Not a fan of that huge as fuck AI when they were showing that modern Sonic level. I don't want the characters dialogue taking up a huge portion of the screen. I don't mind the banter though honestly, but I know people hated it. I just wish they'd keep to unobtrusive subtitles and to possible disable the banter altogether through an option.

>>382732865
Not fucking hyperbole. Everyone agrees, whether they're normie or seasoned gamer.

Sonic's modern design is awful creepy garbage cringey furfag shit, whereas the original is just disney/looney tunes esque

Look at modern sonics fucking proportions. Massive fucking ears, spikes that hang downward and just make him look like he's got more human proportions, his torso is no longer a round ball for rolling, it's a weird shape with a puffed out chest and looks gross, this also make his legs start really close together and taper out really fucking weird because of his giant shoes.

The proportions of classic sonic were perfect. His hands, feed, eyes, head, torso, it was all balanced in size and scale.


I'm not even going to get started about the creepy green human eyes they put on modern sonic. It's the single greatest fuckup on the design itself.


Need I remind that the best selling Sonic game in recent memory was Generations, the game that let you play as the classic sonic design.

And modern Sonic.
And it was an anniversary game.
And it came out a year after Colors, which had a very positive reception and was hailed as "the game that broke the Sonic cycle"

LOL

If you want to meme with this, autlord, then Mickey went through the same shit from his black and white days to modern day. Your garbage meme image means nothing.

>>382734484
I doubt you can post anything from the Mario games that beats Modern Sonic Team's graphic fidelity.

I'll wait.

>>382732330
Unleashed Sonic is Sonic Team realizing they were doing too much crystal meth in Sonic '06 and deciding to tone the design down. It's still a shit design that was shitty since '98.

>>382734693
That's not an official Mickey image

>>382729372
I hope they fix the textures on the Switch version. As much as i'd rather play 60fps, i'll settle for 30fps if they fix the textures. my reasoning for this is that 30fps didn't bother me in Generations, and that even though there are 2 PS4s in the household, neither of them are mine so I'd rather get the game on a platform that I have available to me whenever I want to play a game.

>>382734793
You never mentioned Mario. You just said "Sonic Team just can't be beaten in the graphics department." which is simply not true

And also 3D World >>>>>>>> Lost World

>>382733775
>the game that broke the sonic cycle

No it didn't, because Sonic is still shit and it only sold better compared to other sonic games.

They all still sell trash. The entire series became anti normal people once they changed his design and with it, the tone and theme of the games.

I know, because I was actually born late 80's and was actually a kid when Sonic was in it's heyday. His original design is what made him break out. He didn' speak, he was just a no fuss cool blue little dude rollin around and shit.

Then he became xXx_s0nic_theHedgeh0g_xXx "Follow me - set me free - trust me
And we will escape from the city"

I went from a kid who thought Sonic was a cool bro character to literally "ew get that faggot weirdo shit away from me"

Meanwhile Mario has stayed pretty much alrite to me as a character.
The same exact shit that happened to Sonic pretty much happened to Crash and Spyro after their original games too. It happens every time and only Nintendo seems to be able to avoid it with their character designs.

I would be fine with Classic Sonic being in the game if it even looked improved at all from Gens, but it doesn't. I bet rolling still doesn't really work either. Why would anybody want to play Iizuka's (shorthand for Sonic Team) barely functional approximation for Classic Sonic when Mania is right next to it.

>>382735298
Why would anyone want to play any 3D Sonic either? Sonic in 3D doesn't work and is always shit

I legit had hopes for it. I loved Colors a fuckton, and Generations was alright (side characters brought it down).

But then
>OC Donut Steel character
>Silver is returning
>Shadow is returning
>Chaos is returning

It feels like a case of one step forward, two steps back to me.

The latter design is the same design he's had since Fantasia

Park Avenue looks fine, but "Sand Green Hill" looks pretty bad. It's nowhere near as detailed as Generations was, and seems to be derived of that blocky art style Lost World started. Said "Sand Green Hill"s concept art looked way better and sold the level motif a lot better, not sure what happened there.

Ignoring the returning levels, I gotta give Mania the graphical victory. They nailed that CD/Saturn art style. It's loaded with detail in every corner and the new backgrounds in Green Hill and Chemical Plant feel right at home, rather than downgrades of their predecessors.

>>382735197
Switch can't do good textures.

>>382735215
I'm not the anon that originally made that post but I agree with him.

>which is simply not true
Then point to a game, specifically platformers, that pull off graphics better than Sonic Team.

Also
>3D World >>>>>>>> Lost World
If that was supposed to be your example, then you can fuck off. Of course you'd pick the one game that took a graphical dive.

>>382735609
Just like how Sonic's modern design is the one he's had since Adventure.

>>382735707
I dunno, Textures in ARMS have been pretty good.

>>382735801
That's Nintendo. This is Sonic Team. One of the two gives a fuck.

>>382735956
The original argument was Switch can't do good textures.

So you weren't born in the late 80s then?

Because he was talking as early as 1993 in the cartoons and SEGA Sonic The Hedgehog

>>382735707
We're talking about a Sonic game. They never have high detail textures.

Hedgehog Engine is all about lighting and particle effects. In fact, games generally tend to benefit more from proper lighting than high res textures.

I'm not saying it's better but this is on considerably weaker hardware. Sonic Generations on 360 and PS3 looked great in most areas but it was also 30 fps compared to Odyssey's 60.

That concept art was for Modern Sonic, not Classic Sonic.

>>382736025
Yeah. That's why the PS4 release will look better. You gotta work like mad if you want the Switch version to look good.

Sonic Team's too busy trying to make the game good. They don't got time to fuck around on small shit like graphics.

>>382736629
You got a point. Ah well, at least from what I heard the textures look a lot better in Handheld mode compared to how dogshit they look in docked.

>>382736332
Where do you think it came from?

>>382736736
>The textures look better in handheld mode
I think you have that in reverse, anon.

The textures will more than likely end up looking worse in handheld because things like texture filtering will be lower in order to save on performance. The actual textures (as in the formats) themselves don't change, however.

That's been the case in every Switch game so far.

>>382736989
From what people have been saying that got to play it at E3, the textures look better in Handheld mode.

>>382737302
It could just be the game was also running at 720p docked, so naturally, the game is going to look worse blown up on a larger TV than on a small screen.

That's definitely not unheard of for Switch demos. Splatoon 2's Testfire ran at 720p docked (now runs at 1080p), and Mario Odyssey was also running at 720p docked.

In the original Adventure he actually looked pretty close to the classic design.
