Probably the reason it’s this way is casue most people are waiting on 4…then they can either love or bitch about that game and add that into the flowchart lol. I mean I don’t know what else we could talk about that hasn’t already been put into discussion at some point that people are actually interested in. I think we’ve even gone into why Sonic has been having a hard time in 3D in comparison to Mario and what and possibly what could be done to fix the problem.
I’d actually be interested to see different companies try their take on the franchise to see what they come up with…Naughty Dog, Nintendo, or hell let Twisted Pixel take a crack at it. It’s been shown that when they partner with other companies to make a game their batting average grows by at least a small margin.
I’m probably the only person in the world who didn’t hate the Knuckles stages in the SA series. They were much better then the clunky mechs you has to run around in. Mechs are only fun in Vs. Mode.
Not sure what else you guys would have Knuckles to do in that game, seeing how he doesn’t run as fast as Sonic.
My problem with those stages were that the emerald hunting thing could be downright infuriating, particularly in SA2. The wide range of detection + how small the actually digging to get emerald range made the affair tedious.
A more action focus based on physical attacks. Give him a couple different combos would have done wonders for him. Give him stages like the Lost World Pyramid to explore and find clues and such about Tikal and the Chao would have been infinitely more entertaining then his random treks across already completed levels. The problem with all the alt characters in SA1 is that they all felt like after thoughts and where thus clunky and boring.
the only thing SA1 had on SA2 was music and open world exploration…even though the worlds could have been bigger and sonic could have ran faster…SA1 music felt like it belonged with the sonic franchise…The Chao system was ass in both games…it took way to long to evolve and unless you knew specific stats on how to raise certain types you where just guessing…races should have been online seeing as how dreamcast had online compatibility and there should have been more variety in events.unless you had friends who had chao’'s there was no real reason to even go into the chao world…the representation of heaven and hell was funny though in SA2…
sonic heroes was a terrible game, the stages where bland and repititive…the only thing that could have saved it would be custom teams
Basically what Darkstalker said. That’s what basically werehog should have been in Sonic Unleashed. It should have been Knux going to town on everyone and SRKing people in the face.
I don’t think so especially if we’re talking about in terms of the 3D games. I forgot what the stats were for one of Unleashes stages in terms of distance but these are long ass stages that Sonic is blowing through in like 3-4 minutes. Now keep this in mind when you’re trying to glide and rock clear your way through the stages. This isn’t like Sonic 2 and K where you can just get to one of the highest spots in the game and glide all the way to the end either and Knux isn’t nearly as fast as Sonic. I da know…I don’t think I’d be able to see myself sitting there for over 30 minutes on one stage trying to get to the end lol.
Allow me to play devil’s advocate to my negativity though. Let’s say though that they do try to do that and they try to use one of [media=youtube]VmH7_vgFzME&hd=1"[/media]as the starting point for game design. If they’re going to have Knux reaching the same end as Sonic then they’re going to have to expand that whole stage out into one big ass world for knux to run around freely in. They’d also have to design the stages more so with both characters abilities in mind but even still…I think Knux would be taking forever to reach the end point. I wonder what Specs thinks.
I was wondering why the website had gone pretty much quiet…maybe they actually removed that mine cart level!? Maybe they actually fixed the momentum? Maybe…just maybeeeeee hours past and it becomes tomorrow
