Super Tails was retarded :tup:
I hope we can get him back. He made no fucking sense. Like where the fuck did the flickies come from?
We need to write a letter to Sonic Team asking why it’s apparently so hard to make an A+ Sonic game after S3K.
Somewhere along the line, Sega forgot how to make Sonic games(and I"m including the decent Rush series too). Its all about speed now. Whenever Sonic tries platforming/puzzle solving/shooting/emerald finding/fishing/racing…it just falls flat on its face('cept for Sonic Heroes, which I thought was actually decent). Controls/Camera/all these stupid characters…
It disappoints me as I grew up playing Sonic. Hell, the original Sonic the Hedgehog was the very first video I EVER played, and I still love the original Genesis games. Those games are classics, because speed was there every now and then. Every zone was filled with clever level design and use of psychics, where speed would be thrown in as a treat(like a couple of loops or a twisting spiral road). Sonic 3&K took this another step further with HUGE levels with lots of secrets, puzzles, set-piece scenes, and some really great music. All of this with a control scheme that would work on the NES. Genius.
Now, all Sega could do is RUN RUN RUN, because everything else they attempt sucks. And they can’t even get that right half the time.
Will this game be good? Perhaps. It has the possibility of being great even, but there hasn’t been a Sonic game I would give a 9/10-10/10 since Sonic and Knuckles, and that saddens me, particularly when Mario goes and makes one of the best fucking games ever last year.
Come on Rush was really good, it was old school Sonic and nothing more.
Good? Yes it was.
Old school Sonic? No it was not.
Clever level design/platforming/physics puzzles/lots of secrets and exploration v.s. Holding right/mashing button in the air for tricks/pretty lights and shit as you run through the level.
As much as a old school sonic would be cool, I doubt anyone would want to sit through 7 levels of running sides now with saves after each levels and quick saves, with unlimited lives for 59.99$
Granted if you only started off with 3 lives one continue and it was 7 levels that would be much better/challenging. But it won’t be because it has to cater to the general public who doesn’t have previous experience with games that require you to play to “stay alive”
I dunno people claim they can’t wait for old school sonic but i have a feeling alot of the same people won’t buy the game if it does. Claim its too short or to easy or dismiss it as boring.
And thats a dilemenia, so Sega has to pad out the game with fishing/shooting/emerald hunting/crappy storylines because most running stages can be beat in 5 mins.
Sonic Heroes was all good stages, but it has 14 levels that are finished somewhere between 10-15 mins the first time through. After that, you can go back and play the other 2 teams OR you can try to improve your time trials(which is a big part of Sonic nowadays), and thats pretty fun too).

Im really hoping knuckles comes back with a bang. He was always my favorite character.
i hate the fact that i fell for that :mad:
Just make the game 15-20 zones long
With 3 acts per zone
And we have winnar!
AND BRING BACK THE GD SPECIAL STAGES WTF!
Video makes it seem more like Crash Bandicoot than anything else (2D segments + “on rails” 3D stuff). That’s not a bad formula for Sonic.
However, if this is being made by Sonic Team and not by Dimps or another company, I will still stand by my “guilty until proven innocent” stance.
Looks like the next-gen systems are backwards compatible with blast processing.
Super lol.
Sega is a shell of it’s former self. Every game they used to make was gold. Now everything is just a new reason to cringe.
How hard is it to make a Sonic game where he fights Dr Robotnik because he is turning everything into Robots?
Can’t we just do a damn franchise reboot? Just make the game 2.5, make TONS of crazy levels with great music, and have it be fast as shit and look pretty.
Then when you get to the end of a zone you have to hit whatever thing Robotnik made 8 times, make it blow up, and then jump on a cylinder and free a bunch of animals.
Throw in Knuckles and Tails too, and have a Sonic and Tails 2 player mode like the old times.
I have the lowest of the low expectations of this game until proven otherwise. From the vids, the game just looks like Crash Bandicoot UNLEASHED.
That can be said with pretty much every old school vidya companies. Blizzard, SNK, Nintendo, Capcom, Namcom, Square and ENIX, Konami.
too true 
Yeah Sonic Heroes had really good level design. Game felt long too. Each freaking zone was huge as eff. Sonic Heroes was a step in the right direction but they never fixed the camera. AT FUCKING ALL. And that’s why I could never get past the haunted castle stage. Camera kept fucking up. And it was so much fun switching characters to figure out PUZZLES and getting past tricky PLATFORMS. But then came gun toting Shadow and craptastic ‘The Hedgehog.’
It’s sad that they can’t make a 3D Sonic that stands next to the 2D Classics. Hell it’s sad that they can’t make a new 2D Sonic that stands next to them.
I think that if a 3D Sonic is ever made again, they need to focus on freedom and exploration. Make giant stages that go on for miles. Have sonic run freely over a bunch of ‘green hills’ and down highways flung high above city streets.
Well I’m gonna go play Sonic 23K now. I advise all SRKers to do so, and see what the classics were all about, again.
No it can’t you dumb ass. Are you fucked or something? Every single company you listed still makes terrific games. I can’t speak on behalf of Blizzard but SNK still makes top notch fighters and ‘saved’ Metal Slug after 4. Nintendo um… like are you really fucked dude? The Wii and DS. I don’t even have to mention the software that they make. Capcom? CAPCOM? This is joke right? Do you even play games today? Same goes for Namco and Konami. Hell, even though Squenix has turned FF and DQ into literal cash cows, the games are still good.
I think you just don’t want to face the facts that Sega has almost completely become irrelevant as a video game maker. After last generation they have lost all their bite.
wrong…
Blizzard is still at the top of there game.
SNK is still doing there thing
Nintendo continues to produce the best 1st party games ever.
Square-enix is not what squaresoft was but its no sega.
Konami was just a publisher if i remember correctly.
Sega however had CLASSIC games and has produced anything decent since sonic adventure 1
Well, glad to see you aren’t effected. But these companies really did become shell of their old, their staff got changed drastically and a lot of times they get by with brand names.
That’s what you meant to say right?
And wtf was that statement. You must just be talking about Sonic games only cause you sound fucked as well.
Explain to me what you mean by fucked, I honestly don’t really understand. Don’t you think you take these kind of things too seriously?
Ah, I’m getting that urge that I do every now and then, to sit down and go thru all the genesis games again.
