There was confirmation? Duuuude. Can you link me to anything that might give me the details? That’s awesome.
Well, yeah, basically.
Nostalgic window dressing is still just window dressing. Whether the game is good or not ultimately depends on the game. And with Sonic Team behind it…yeah.
I just figure though, if this is inevitably what we’re getting for a Sonic fix I might as well be positive and enjoy what I can out of it. Sonic Team or not, there’s gotta be -something- redeemable about it in the end.
I think one of the producers coming out and finally saying it is enough for me since he was directly involved with the project. I can’t imagine Sega going completely out of their way unless someone asked them directly now in an interview…and even then they probably would probably just retread over what the guy said earlier.
I remember earlier in the older thread that I said Sega is actually sitting on a goldmine and they just can’t seem to take the blindfold and earplugs off. It looks like I was correct on that. People who had stopped playing the series but remember fondly on when it was good will come back and play the game. If this game turns out as awesome as it should be (I’m still not getting hype for it…Sega has crushed my dreams entirely too many times) then I hope this game makes way more profit than any of their games that had horrible ideas. I’m completely serious about them dropping the guy who brought those up during the meetings in a fire pit.
Nitpicks and other things:
I’m agreeing that I don’t like the run animation…Sega please fix that. Either have the classic run, his SA series run, or if you really wanted to be boss…do his figure 8 run. Or if you wanted to be really cool you’d do all 3 and have each one activate depending upon how fast he was going with figure 8 run being at the top preferably. If you have problems figuring out how to do it ask whoever it was that animated Sonic in Brawl because it was perfect.
The animation for the corkscrew was nice.
Like the the fact that there’s dust kicking up from his tracks now. It’s a small detail that I’ve wanted since seeing a little example of it in Mushroom Hill Zone in 3K.
Not entirely sure on how I feel about this game taking place after 3k and having Eggman/Robotnik with his updated look and having homing attack. Are they planning on just wiping the slate clean and pretending all those games didn’t happen or something?
If you’re going to have the homing attack give us a reason to use it. Homing attack was used to help Sonic attack enemies in a 3d space…2d it’s not needed as much because you can be more accurate in platforming. If you don’t give us a reason in using it then it’s just there to be there…I’d rather have Insta-shield in it’s place if that’s going to be the case.since that can atually be used to attack enemies that have something protecting them.
GIVE ME PLAYABLE SUPER SONIC DAMMIT…ON ALL THE STAGES. I FUCKIN MEAN IT!
For the episodic content…For now let’s just have it with the main 3 of Sonic, Tails and Knux. If you can prove that you can do this without royally fucking it up then maybe bring other characters in for the sequal but leave them optional. Like someone said earlier cameos wouldn’t hurt…CAMEOS.
Music wise I’d like a variety. Sonic series has hit so many different genre’s of music and most of it is good that I’m not too concerned. If it was me though I’d get Howard Drossin, Jun Senoue, Masato Nakamura (if possible), Hedeki Naganuma, and Richard Jacques. You had a good majority of these guys for S and BK but they’d probably be better utilized here. I don’t mean having them crammed all in on one episode…They could be doing a track here or a track there throughout the episodes.
Also pertaining to the music…If possible I’d like them to go back to the 3k style where each zone has a central theme and the Act’s are different versions of that theme.
Agreed on Episodes being as long as S3 at least.
I must have been watching that trailer too much…I noticed the run animation that they displayed for Sonic 2 isn’t from Sonic 2.
That’s all I can come up with currently…I may think of some other things after I get off work.
Wonder if this game will have a 2 player mode? I hope so, and the 2nd player can play as Metal Sonic or I dunno Sonic wearing different coloured gloves and shoes?
I really liked the 3d boss fights in sonic rush bring that back!
Metal sonic>Shadow.
Sonic2 and to a slightly lesser degree 3 are the very fucking pinnacle of gaming from level design to music to controls to difficulty balance it’s all 100% perfect I’ll take those 2 games and to an even slightly lesser degree Sonic n knuckles over any other so they better not fuckup sonic4 or there will be hell to pay. I’ll take sonicteams red stapler:mad:
Also, while the Sonic Rush titles are certainly enjoyable, they’re a little too memorization-trappy. It doesn’t compare to Sonic 2, S3&K, or even Sonic Advance 1/3.
Dr. B something something something anal sex mad sexy no homo.
And did we play the same game? Because I remembered a lot more in the way of “hold right”, every level after the first being suspended over bottom less pits, and a whole lot of other stupid gimmicks.
To me, the one thing that was truly memorable about Rush was the fact that they got some Jet Set Radio up in it, thanks to getting Naganuma. Other wise…to say that it’s probably the best new Sonic offering we’ve got in the last decade? That’s not saying much…
Shit when I first saw that run in 3d I fuckin flipped out. Sonic’s figure 8 run didn’t make sense before in 2D and it fuckin blew my mind seeing it in 3D. I really want to know how the guy animated it and got it so perfect like that.
Oh I did…but I try to get the emeralds legit in Sonic 2 but if you’re playing with Tails… That shit is mad annoying.
Personally anything that happened after SA2 (maybe Sonic Heroes) I could do without. I’m just wondering if they’re going to do a retcon then how deep is this cut going to go? or are they gonna pull a Superman and say this takes place on Earth 294?
Some other things I thought about that I’d like back would be the shields. Lightning Shield, Fire Shield, and if there’s going to be an underwater level then put in a bubble shield. If they can come up with any new powerups that can be useful then i’m all for it…so long as it has a purpose.
It’d be awesome of they actually revisited the Super Emeralds and this game series actually saw the second appareance of Hyper Sonic. I doubt it but still be cool.
Speaking of Sonic CD, I wonder if people would start to throw chairs if Sega used the Sonic CD jump sounds instead of the classic Genesis jump sound…
Yeah, seriously, round up composers from all the classic games (get Spencer Nilsen, too dagnabit) and give each person a zone with 2 acts (main track + remix, Sonic 3&K style).
And force them to use a Genesis sound chip. The limited technology made them really concentrate of making memorablee melodies and solid composition.
One of the countdowns in the official site is over. The intro section is up and details the story right up to where the new game will take place (as mentioned, after Sonic 3 & Knuckles).
