Look at this. Just fucking look at this. Boostfags will never be able to do shit like this. Sonic games will never again offer this level of freedom
i don't know, mate
a spindash in today's games using ~fancy, hd graphics~ would probably spark a lot of debate on the controls being "slippery" and the levels being "too expansive" and "not fast enough"
i wouldn't be against a 3D spindash in a sonic game tho

I don't even care about the spindash, it just bothers me that modern sonic games don't make good use of Sonic's moveset like this. In Sonic Adventure you're allowed to take different shortcuts and cover huge amounts of terrain in seconds thanks to your knowledge of Sonic's moveset and your skill with it. Modern Sonic games have just given up on that and make you boost through one set path

I maintain that SA1 is the best 3D sonic has ever controlled
no sonic game will be like that again because developers put invisible walls everywhere
>>387302572
I agree.

Physics are a bit janky though.

>invisible walls aren't almost non existent
>everything has a slope
>rewards exploration through physics based platforming
>ditch all of it for boost to win hallways because "I GOTSA GO FAST 100% OF THE TIME"
was ditching 2/3 of the things that made classic sonic great worth it for just speed? it's like they took the "hold right to win" meme and ran with it.

>he sat on the elevator instead of spindashing the guideline

I am genuinely upset there's not more of this.

He didn't cancel the jump making sonic land on the elevator in his cool pose

Hopefully Sonic Mania's and Super Mario Odyssey's positive reception will allow Sega to consider revisiting the Dreamcast Sonic gameplay. While I do like parts of Unleashed, Colors, and parts of Generation, SA1 and sometimes SA2 gave you a lot of platforming freedom. You can either follow the yellow brick road, or you can just say fuck it, find a slope, and run on the walls. I miss making my own alternate paths rather than the game making alt paths for me to find.
