Why can't Sonic just exist as classic Sonic from now on? Sonic Forces is looking terrible and Sonic Mania has made it quite clear that this is pretty much what everyone wants. Sonic will never be a competent series again, so they may as well give in and become a nostalgia kick.

Because it can manage both at once. The Boost games with just Sonic, the Taxman games that are like the originals, and they should also find a developer that would start doing some more modern Adventure style games.

I'm fine with both.

I enjoyed Mania and I'm moderately hyped for Forces. Getting rid of Modern Sonic would only piss off a lot of the fanbase and eventually people would get sick of 2D Sonic like with the New Super Mario Bros series.
>>
I'm curious where the modern games will go next now that it doesn't have to have the classic pandering put into it anymore. They can take it where they want now without feeling like they have to please older fans.
>>
The two types of gameplay cater to two different parts of the fanbase. If Sega stopped making 3D Sonic games they'd lose half their income. Making both 2D games (through Taxman/Stealth and crew) and 3D games (through Sonic Team themselves) is a good business decision in the long run that'll keep most everyone happy.

I've been feeling the same to some extent for a bit now, OP, but the games with Modern Sonic do have their fanbase & taking that away is practically the same as when Classic Sonic was taken away so having both would be the best idea even though I heavily prefer the style & gameplay of the classic era games and really wish they were the main focus again.

>Sonic will never be a competent series again, so they may as well give in and become a nostalgia kick.
I don't like this idea though, nostalgia is good every once & a while but relying on it would be a poor decision. Regardless Classic can stand on his own since his games are good & fun to people, if they weren't then Mania would've probably had mediocre reception & people are begging for new zones over classic zones in this game anyways.

Sonic Mania is a big fat meme game
Why can't they make a 2D sonic with graphics and game mechanics that are up to date? It worked well with Rayman and it would actually be better than this blatant pandering that you accuse Mania of.
Mania is pandering because of its character creation but making a megadrive game in 2017 to please nostalgiafags isn't?

Literally the whole point of Mania was supposed to be "what if Sonic was a Saturn?"

They tried to make a 2D Sonic with "modern" graphics, it's called Sonic 4. And you know how that turned out.

I don't know why people shit on the game for having sprites when the sprites in the game are some of the best sprite work ever done in a game that's not Metal Slug.
>>
So is Forces Boost or not?
>>
>>389732256
It's Boost but it also has Classic Sonic like in Generations and now a third gameplay style with the OC which can also have levels which team up with Modern Sonic for some boost.

It is.

Because "classic " sonic didn't exist before Generations.

Except it isn't. You're living in a bubble.

Sonic Mania is a $20 game, with probably 500,000 sales so far. Sonic Unleashed and Generations retailed for $60, and have each sold over 5 million copies. Sonic Forces will sell similar numbers.

Let me put that into a graph for you. Here's how profitable Forces will be compared to the little retro sidescroller /v/ is so obsessed with. This is to scale, not exaggerated.

I seriously doubt it.

With the disaster that was 06 Sonic Team likely has huge cold feet for anything resembling the Adventure Format, and the fan's huge expectations could never feasibly be met.

>>389732497
Maybe if Adventure gets a team dedicated to learn how it worked & are willing to develop it like Mania did, sure. But I highly doubt this will happen for a very long time.
>>
>>389732598
Forces isn't going to be 60$ though, it's 40.
Second, you know for a god damn fact that Mania is going to be more critically praised than Forces will be regardless of it's quality purely because it's not a classic game.

>I-It'll still sell more though!
06 sold a shit-ton and was a critical bomb, and Sonic Team hasn't touched anything remotely similar to it with a ten-foot pole because of it.

Critics matter to SEGA and Sonic Team though.

I guaran-fucking-tee you that the only reason Forces brought back the Boost gameplay was because of critics and fans shitting hard on Lost World. Otherwise Sonic Team would have made yet another half-baked gimmick.

I really don't want Forces to fail because it's honestly exactly what I wanted after Generations, but a lot of people haven't been happy with what's been shown off so if the game turns out to be shit or even just mediocre Sonic Team will immediately go back to the drawing board.

Mania is going to easily outperform Forces.

Our only hope was for Forces to bomb and Mania to sell gangbusters, but since they're catering to the absolute lowest common denominator with Forces, I'm afraid it'll sell well enough so they'll keep producing more fucking garbage like that.

>>389732651
Well there was the disaster that was Sonic 4 yet we still got Mania. And the soon to be disaster that is Forces. Sega is well aware there's a demand for the Adventure style of games. If Forces underperforms I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Sonic game close to that style. I doubt they'd call it Adventure 3 though.

My answer: Storyfags and kids born in 1999-2004 hate the 2D games and want to keep the 3D aspect of Sonic. Case in point, >>389732598

Their logic is 3D makes for a bigger and better game, when it's good gameplay and design that make a better game. I'd be all down for nothing but Mania-like games, provided they don't just use it as a nostalgia wagon and do all original stuff with it, to some extent.

Sonic Team has no idea what it's doing with the IP for over a decade now, just cut it loose.

colors and generations were fine. lost world was a 6-7/10 experiment. boom is a setback sure, but that probably had something to do with being a wiiu exclusive. 3d sonic is not terrible like autists make it out to be. As long as they continue with the design of generations, 3d sonic will be fine (though I'd prefer less/no boostshit)

I don't understand what adventurecucks hate about Sonic 06. it's the exact same formula and clunky gameplay. different characters with different stories. edgy plot. shitty controls. shitty graphics. shitty physics.

I played sonic adventure and 06 and they feel exactly the same. is it because it isn't part of your nostalgia? just proves the adventure gameplay was no good.

This feels like awful bait.


The Adventure Games are practically nothing alike with 06. The Adventure Games actually controlled decently well, far better than Boost, the story was far better in the Adventure Games, arguably the best stories in the series. 06 literally only has it's music going for it, and even then it's incredibly lackluster compared to the rest of the series.

And before you call me an avdenturecuck, I hadn't played either of those games until just last year, and I had fun with them both despite some flaws.

I honestly find the hate for those games incredibly unjustified. SA2 is probably my 4th favorite game in the series.

Stop trying to shove words into other people's mouths. Both sides of Sonic can exist and both will have their fans and detractors. Personally, I'm looking forward to Forces to see what it does with all of the concepts it's using and if it fails I'll at least get another fun trainwreck.

That would probably be City Heights.
They've shown like 6 stages and all of them are incredibly short and linear, it might get better later on in the game but I'm not expecting huge improvements.

You sound like you need to git gud. The only trouble I had with the game was with Shadow's fight with the Biolizard. Yes, I didn't even have that much of an issue with Mad Space, even if it's still a shitty level.

Quick question, since when sonic became "modern sonic" ?

I think it was with the secret ring, but i'm not sure.
Some peoples say it's with 2006 but sonic 2006 look more like an adventure sonic game.

SA1's actually incredibly underrated. Most of the levels aside Sky Deck and Big's Sega Bass Fishing shit actually hold up just fine.

Hell, the only issue with Amy's gameplay is that her run speed's a little too slow. Aside that, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Gamma all play fine and are all pretty fun to play.

I like mania a lot; it's a contender for my game of the year alongside puyo puyo tetris currently; but I can't deny I would prefer a high budget adventure-style title over it.

No, he's completely right. That would normally kill a player. There's no reason to suck the player up.

I love Sonic CD, but its level design was the most schizophrenic bullshit in the entire IP.

Not him but CD I'd probably the easiest game in the series. It's just bad.
>>
>>389734226
Is there even a game that looks like CD intro? In general, not just talking about Sonic
>>
>>389739158
>>389739960
cd is one of the best games in the franchise, but there is no way to defend making player literally go into something that looks like it would kill to fulfill an objective
now let's see an argument different than "git gud" and "retard"
>>
>>389739960
>Standing on a squish platform intentionally makes you casual
It's one of the few sonic games where, so long as you avoid giant bouncy pads that launch you a billion miles into the air, is ACTUALLY hold-right to win.
>>
>>389739069
wow i never knew that

how was i supposed to ever figure that out without a guide
>>
>>389739960
Listen up, faggot, bad design is bad desing. Sonic CD is great and all but in no way you should defend its glaring flaws without looking like a dumb fanboy. Just accept the game is not perfect and read some books about level design to realize how shitty that thing is.

Play the game before trying to meme it

the only real terrible 3d sonics where 06 and shadow the hedgehog. Heroes was adequate, and honestly felt like a precursor to the boost sonic games.

sonic 06 was rushed to be on the 360 at launch.
>>
>>389740368
You're right, you should definitely fuck off from /v/.
>>
>>389740297
Shadow wasn't that terrible.

yeah it was EdGy, but the gameplay was almost like the adventure game.

And the game had a sick soundtrack.
And the egg dealer.
>>
>>389740289
It's the easiest Sonic by far and if it weren't for Sonic 4 it would also be the worst 2D game in the series. That's including handheld games.
>>
sonic mania is a legit GOTY contender, not gonna win it but it's top 5 games of the year for sure

best sonic game in fucking 20 years, I don't understand how fucked up mentally someone has to be to like or even prefer the 3D sonic games, they're all utter garbage, even Generations which is by far the best one of the 3D shit ones is hot garbage compared to mania

the fact that the direction in all 3D sonic games is so poor makes my skin crawl, what the fuck are these sad cucks at sega even trying to do? to make a 'cinematic feel' videogame full of ebin moments of explosions and sanic going in slow motion, what the fucking shit
>>
>>389739851
the point of it is to explore the stage, and find the robot generator, and the metal sonic holograms.
>>
>>389740424
I still have a sonic06 copy on my 360.

With no update whatsoever since launch.

Is this an instrument of torture?

>Standing in a place that kills you every other time for arbitrary reasons is a "challenge"

CD Apologists will never stop being hilarious
>>
>>389740171
CD levels are more vertical than horizontal. You could speed through and get a good time score, but you'd miss all the emeralds and robot generators. It was more about exploration than blasting through a stage to get to the end.
>>
>>389740509
the game can't be fixed with patches.
>>
>>389740289
I'm really sick of stupid fucking niggers who can't handle a contrary opinion whose first move is to always accuse their arguer of not playing the game.

No, seriously, Sonic CD's level design is horse shit. There's a bunch of straight corridors EVERYWHERE. They were put there because of the past/future mechanics, so if you just ignore them, and avoid obstacles, most of the levels are just "Hold right to win."

Stop pretending that Sonic CD had good level design. It didn't.

>>389740297
Despite what I JUST said, I am more than willing to accuse people saying Shadow was bad of "not" playing it. It's like saying 06 is bad without playing it.

YES, it's bad, but that's not the point. Your opinion holds 0 merit unless you've played it. Shadow was a decent game.
>>
>>389740470
>It's the easiest
Is that why people keep complaining about le level desing when they can't hold right to win?

>>389740519
>Double digit IQ retard can't figure out something so simple

Nice spacing my /r/etarded friend
>>
>>389740518
yeah sorry, and the wii games. forgot about them. technically spinoffs though.

>>389740519
you mean leaving sonic idle for like 2 minutes without pausing. it was more of a joke.
>>
>>389740592
People complain about the level design because they suck, not because they're hard. The levels are messy as fuck and aren't enjoyable to play through unless you have brain damage. They're pathetically easy and boring.
>>
>>389740470
3 is the easiest 2D sonic game due to gameplay refinement from the previous two main entries.

I'm also fucking sick of "Reddit spacing." I was typing like this since before Reddit was even a thing, it's the single most tired, ridiculous non-argument I've ever seen.

"Oh your sentences have proper spacing, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization- making an extended conversation easy to read; you must be from Reddit!"

It's not Reddit spacing, it's CORRECT spacing. Kill yourself. I'm tired of you and people like you dragging down the bottom line even further.

Carnival Night had some semblance of a challenge, as does Big Arms unless you abuse the insta-shield. CD has nothing even remotely challenging.

Amy is fucking trash and shouldn't have been brought back after CD. She's one the weakest characters in the series and her and her shitty shipfags should be removed entirely.

Look I can post bad bait too!

The trick is that I whole-heartedly believe this.
>>
>>389741218
It's not bait if you believe it. It's just a bad opinion.
>>
>>389741062
Considering the stage has plenty of pipes in its walls and almost none of them has secret passages, yeah, it's still very bad level design.
Good level design would force you to go trough one of those pipes at the beginning of the game, making you realize you can do it somewhere else in the stage. But that doesn't happen in CD.
Add to that that being pressed btween two walls in Sonic games kills you and there, you have a super not-intuitive secret that has nothing to do with the skill of the player itself.
Really, it's game design 101.
>>
>>389741284
It's bait because it's meant to attract (You)s.
Case in point.

why are Sonic's eyelids cream colored? If you look in any other Canon Sonic gane... his eyelids are blue. at least for modern Sonic. WHY DID THEY CHANGE HIS EYELIDS.
>>
>>389741218
You're right.
>>
>>389741491
His eyelids are based on his old 1/2/3 design. This game is nothing but faithful.
>>
>>389741491
The breed of Hedgehog typically kept as pets have very sparse hair on their face, belly, and limbs, so Sonic has a hairless face, belly, and arms to make him look more hedgehoggy. I don't know why Modern Sonic changed it to just the bottom half of his face.

These just exist, yet you couldn't count them in. These were probably the worst 3D Sonic games.

Because if 3D Sonic dies, then the idiots responsible for killing it will just move on to fucking up 2D Sonic.
>>
>>389740431
Eh, shadow was bad; but the edgy story wasn't anything all that out of the ordinary since other platformers (Jak & Daxter, Rachet & Clank) were also doing guns at the time.

It was the heroes-style slippery controls and the upped acceleration from heroes that made that one worse than it should've been.
>>
>>389741218
I don't agree. Amy's one of my favorite characters.

The only main sonic character I actually hate is Tails.
>>
>>389737051
Remember when people couldn't even say this as an ironic joke?
