The Official Sonic the Hedgehog thread

I wouldn’t go that far. But it is fun.

It’s certainly better than any iteration of Mario Kart is in my mind. The track design alone is very deep; there’s so many ways through any of the game’s tracks. Combine that with the customization the Gears give you and you got one hell of a game.

really now? I heard it was really slow…I’ll have to look up some vids of it. If it’s at least decent I’ll probably go ahead and nab it… I have the first on the GC and it was at least entertaining.

If you liked the first one, you will most likely enjoy the second as well. It certainly took the first one and tried very hard to improve it; rebalancing some features, increasing the track diversity, and adding a couple new elements.

Personally, I still feel that Flux is overplaying it, but to each there own. At the very least, if you enjoyed the first at all you will probably enjoy the second as well.

:rofl: Come now. The original Mario Kart, on its own, offers more variety and tighter gameplay than Sonic ANYTHING.

The original Mario Kart was great for its time and everyone that played it had lots of fun with it, me included. I am not going to seriously entertain that it has more variety than a game made years later with tons of characters/options and deeper tracks.

But you’re entitled to your opinion. I’m not going to argue with you about it.

Have you played either Sonic Riders game?

I don’t feel I’m overplaying it. That’s just how I feel about the game. The Mario Kart comment was admittedly a bit much, but I find it to be a very solid racing game with a lot of depth and haven’t liked a Mario Kart game since 64, if that puts what I say in better context.

It’s just a good game. I think skipping on it is a waste. Occasionally even Sonic Team wins.

there was no excuse to exclude wi-fi racing on zero gravity…

you could race ghosts but not people?..wtf

Obviously Sonic Team thought people only wanted to race themselves :. I mean, why else would anyone buy a racing game, mirite?

Its here…

This game is amazing…highly recommend SRK to hop on this

actual quote from a person who doesnt play games much

“YO WTF!!! DID YOU SEE THAT? THATS CRAZY!!!:amazed:”

even werehog is good…story if pfft so far but I could care less…

Story doesn’t matter in games really. I could count on one hand the number of games that actually have well-thought-out and interesting stories. They just have to be fun to play.

care to elaborate?
I need detailed specifics of the pros and cons so I can sleep at night. not OMG GAAAAAAME

DETAILS FOO!

In other words please address the fears that have been expressed so far and if they can be laid to rest especially the ones that Specs keeps bringing up specifically is the camera how specs think it is or has it been fixed? How decent is werehog? Glitches yet? Stuff like that…ya know?

You’ll forgive me if I take this news with a healthy amount of skepticism as I peruse reviews and impressions.

Missouri Walkthrough:

haven’t finished watching this yet…

Edit:
still looks like a lot of fun and there’s some platforming in there as well…this guy fails horribly and repeatedly around 1:59 and he’s having trouble reacting to the B prompt slides…more than likely a user error.

Edit2:
They need to do a walkthrough of Werehog similiar to this…I want to see most of the mechanics

Edit 3:
I can’t remember a game that ever showcased Sonic running at close to his full potential (a small bit past the speed of sound)…and if he ever did then there wasn’t any indication…I think Sonic 2 and 3k did a pretty good job…especially in 2 where the camera often had problems keeping up with him in certain areas lol. I’d like to see some type of effect that indicates Sonic passing the sound barrier at some point if they get this right…sorta almost like how when sonic’s running for a long time in the advance 3 and rush series there’s that sound and a sudden increase in his speed…I forget what it’s called in those games but I almost mistook it for a sonic boom.

you can get tapes?
when did sonic turn into THPS?

Are you going to post about the game in detail at all? Will you be willing to answer questions for us as and as Sonichuman said address the fears that most of us have expressed concerning the game?

EDIT: Seems Shadow deleted his post…

looks at watch then at ShadowAce I’M WAAAAAAAIIIIIITTTTINNNNGGGG…

hey guys, Im going to buy a Genesis CDX. mainly so I dont have to deal with the bullshit double connection of the standard sega cd.
anybody own one of these? I found a few for cheap on ebay and I dont want to bid on a lemon or something.

also, do you have to do anything special to play burned games on sega cd? does it have internal ram memory or do I need like a memory card or something?

“GO!..GO!..Go!..YEAH!..GO!..Go!..”

You’ve got to burn them a specific way, but your burned games should be able to play by default. I dunno if I’m allowed to provide a link to a guide for you or not, but it is a straightforward process anyway as long as you’ve got a bin/cue file.

The CDX has internal RAM just like the Sega CD does. However, you may want to invest in a RAM cart anyway, juuuust in case the battery’s dead.

Since you’re getting Sega CD hardware, grab Sonic Megamix and Snatcher. You won’t be disappointed ^_^.
