Sonic Unleashed unironically had the best:
>Modern Sonic design
>Sonic voice
>(one of the) best Modern Sonic OST
>Modern Sonic 3D levels

And Werehog Sonic's design was actually pretty cool looking despite being an absurd concept. I would love a sequel. In fact, it deserves a sequel.

REMINDER that the countdown website is wrong and lists the release hours before Steam unlock hours.

>>386247174
Unleashed needed more time to cook and the ratio for Werehog was way too off, and needed more polish. I have a soft spot for it and think it was unfairly torn apart by critics, but it is divisive for entirely justifiable reasons.

>>386247174
Wrong on almost all counts. Sonic's design is okay but not as good as Adventure's, the voice is debatable (he sounds like shit in all of them), and both Adventures and Generations have better levels. OST is great though.

Does anyone have the Overdrive leaks? I can't find shit.

>>386247051
I'm so glad they drew inspiration from the past version for Stardust Speedway's theme. It's the only version I like.

>>386247345
If they had more time and removed the werehog it literally would have been the perfect 10/10 modern game

>>386247351
Generation's modern levels were just watered down casualized versions of the Unleashed gameplay. No way it's better beyond being nostalgia-pandering aesthetically.

>>386247351

Unleashed should just have been some kind of Sonic & Knuckles sequel, make you choose between both characters like in Sonic Adventure and it would have been much better.

As much as I like late-Griffith, he still didn't hold a candle to Ryan Drummond.

I think we can all agree Roger Craig Smith is the worst one though. 7 years as Sonic and he still hasn't improved one bit as the character. At least Griffith improved from his shitty starting performances and grew into the character.

I agree, I like the idea of remixing. Too many level tropes have already been used and forcing the team to make a game with 13~ new stages will bound to have a few shitty stages/themes in there.

I can get not thinking his voice fits Sonic, but he's probably the best VA to ever work with the character, performance-wise.

I don't understand how anyone can think Griffith was good at any point. The fact that it took until Unleashed and Black Knight for his performance to become bearable says enough.

I'm one.

>>386250231
You know, there's something unsettling about that. Especially during cutscenes. It feels like someone mocapped that shit in a full suit, moving spikes and everything.

For a while I hated the boost stuff. Rush was okay because at the time it was just a spinoff with a new take on the series, but once Unleashed happened boost was pretty much all we were getting. Then it was gimmicks galore and Sonic 4 attempting and failing to recapture the glory days. Now that Mania is a thing I find myself not hating that stuff as much just because there's finally something else to go along with it. Unleashed, the Wii games, the good 1/3 or Lost Worlds, even some of 4. I've warmed up to them all somewhat, although I don't necessarily like them. I just hope Mania is successful enough to ensure it's not just a one-off.

>>386250062

These are the ideal sprites. You may not like them bit this is what peak speedrunning looks like.

Sonic is arguably Western than Japanese. A good chunk of the games were made in the US, and the series is way more popular here than in Nipland.
He's even based on Western cartoons.
>>386252034
Jap Sonic doesn't have the best Eggman voice.

>>386251826
Okay seeing as you don't get it.
Unleash created the term "boost to win" due to its considerably more linear level design made to compliment boosting in a 3D environment.
It did not create the mechanic.

Saying "oh but it was in Rush!" isn't going to change the fact that "boost to win" as a term didn't exist until Unleashed.

I like Mike as much as the next guy but he's not better

>>386252184

It didn't even make sense in the context of Unleashed because after the first couple of intro stages, the game would start throwing shit your way where boosting into stuff would hurt you

>>386252159
German Eggman is best according to Sonic Team.

>>386252348
Jap Eggman sounds genetic as fuck. Mike perfectly escalates Serious and Goofy Eggman.

>>386252403
>the game would start throwing shit your way where boosting into stuff would hurt you
Eh, not really especially with the sidestep.
Realistically it should have been "boost and sidestep to win" but that's not as catchy.

>>386247174
I feel like Drummond and Griffith could only give Sonic this manufactured cool voice for Sonic no matter what direction. I'm not sure Roger Craig Smith can do a serious Sonic, but there's more of a genuine feeling there. Does that make sense? Maybe I've watched too much Sonic Boom.

I'm replaying Sonic CD on Steam right now to get all of the achievements. I already have all of them on PS3, but doing everything over again just makes me remember how I hate the special stages and finding the Robotnik machines and Metal Sonic holograms is such a pain in the ass when you forget where they are. Sonic CD is a lot more fun when you've gotten the levels more thoroughly memorized.

>>386251215
the reused assets from the older games look fantastic blended together but one can really tell the difference between the old art style of the game and the new art style of some of these zones and bosses. Don't get me wrong the game still looks fantastic overall and they do have some interesting designs, like the new special stage, but the eye can tell the difference and sometimes that can get jarring to look at. I guess an example would be the popcorn machine or the new plant level in the trailer.

Sonic 3D Blast has great music on both versions, and the special stages are good. The gameplay is like nearly all isometric games...meh. Not unplayable, just awkward and bland. Sonic Blast on the Game Gear, now that's a total fucking waste of space. It was the first truly terrible, nearly unplayable game in the series. At least Labyrinth was playable (but boring).

Shun Nakamura is the one responsible for this, so no, not really.

>Lost World was the worst story we got in the series since 06
The guy doing forces story did 06 story, it's like pottery

FRICK

Let's be honest here guys, Sonic Adventure 2 voice actors were the best. Except for Tails, his voice actor sounded like he was reading it straight off the paper

>>386257008
>but it is going to sell poorly
you'll be surprise

>>386256942
That only means they are gonna take Mr Infinite seriously .

>>386256942
Something needed to change after Lost World's flaming hot garbage of a story. But Japan also doesn't really "get" Sonic.

Why doesn't the Switch version have the Amazon Prime discount? Fucking Nintendo man.

>>386257123
God, don't fucking remind me about Lost World's story. I'm still bitter.

The game itself is fine, and I'm all for Sonic stories not being as serious and more laidback. Colours had some really solid writing, and even if Generation had a total of like, 4 actually written out scenes, they were still pretty alright.

Seeing Lost World's cutscenes infuriates the fuck out of me because it feels like they just wrote a bunch of jokes out on a whiteboard, and then when Yuji Naka came in and asked how the story was going they bullshit something in a split second and had to go with it.

>Infinite is going to kill Sonic

>>386257271
I really like Shadow's performance in 2.

>>386252605
Sonic main personaltiy, as portrayed on the games, is of this goof that likes to do whatever he wants like a cool guy, whenever someone tries to stop him, he can always answer, 'yeah, fuck you!' and still go onward.

but underneath that attitude, he will always step up and go to stop whoever is trying to fuck shit up and ruining the peace.

OVA Sonic was like that, Boom Sonic is kinda like that, Sonic from Colors and onward is kinda like that.

>>386256912
maybe so but you really think Sega will allow use of the FF's or the originals for the new comics given what happened with archie?

also, sega of japan kinda hates the US fanbase.

>>386256942
No, it just means that instead of le baldy mcnosehair xd we're getting an 06 tier edgy plot.

>>386257271
Pollock as Eggman is the exception.

>>386257008
$20 pixel shit with an indie vibe in the era of indie pixel shit that'll get great word of mouth and features characters from a popular cartoon? This game is going to be an insane hit.

>>386257253
Honestly sounds about right. Shit looks like it's aiming for the same feeling. One can only hope there's just a little bit more thought put into it

>>386257271
Until the 4kids cast they always hired real kids to voice Tails. Just get women

>>386257365
1. Lost World isn't fine, it's dull
2. Yuji Naka hasn't worked on the series since 06

>>386257008
People under 20 don't care about the new games either

Who wrote the story for the dreamcast era games?

>>386257008
If Mania is going to sell poorly then I'd hate to see what Forces will do considering no one cares

they wouldn't have granted then the two extra months if they didn't have enough pre orders for the game. the game probably didn't even cost much to make. what <1 million including marketing. they'd need to sell 50,000 to break even. and that's not including merch sales and autism editions.

>>386257271
Even both versions of the OVA had generally bad voice acting I really like Martin Burke's take on classic Sonic if he really needs a voice. I'm probably in the minority though.

>>386252982
CD is great fun to fuck around in but playing the game as intended is a chore. But the music and art help a ton.

>>386257559
I meant gameplay-wise. I'll agree the levels kinda bore me out after some time, but I don't hate the gameplay itself.

Sonic controlled pretty well. Honestly, I'd love to see the Adventure games done again with a control-style of Lost World. I think that engine would benefit a lot more from those kinds of levels than the ones the final game had.

>>386257365
Yuji Naka left Sonic Team over a decade ago nigga

>>386257271
I PROMISE YOU
REVENGE

>>386257736
In a way Martin Burke kinda sounds similar to Sonic's "I'm Outta Here" from CD

>>386257775
The gameplay is very lackluster. The shit kick mechanic fucks up the flow of a Sonic game and so does the automated homing attack. Plus the run button isn't even a run button, it's an automation button that actually allows you to run through the series' iconic loops

Better level design won't fix Lost World's mechanics. Even shit like Adventure controls better

>aesthetics

Generic trash. I fucking hated that game with a passion.
