sonic generations looks a lot better on pc and runs much smoother without the random fps lag (assuming your computer is good)
I’ve played 360 and pc versions
That SA1 style pose is so burned into my brain at this point. I wish that they kept that sense of style, the graphic style of Sonic Riders is really cool too, too bad that game wasn’t great.
Sonic Riders was my game. It was fast-paced, the trick system was a lot of fun, and limited resources and a lack of items put a lot of emphasis on track knowledge and pure racing skill. Still one of favorite racers.
Now if we’re talking Zero Gravity, that was a pile of garbage.
Free Riders was a bigger pile of garbage. It killed the subseries.
I gotta level with you, I wrote off riders as a kid. At the store I tried to run through the course holding the board expecting to win. Didn’t happen. I said “Sonic doesn’t need a fucking board” and left.
Alright I’ll try the first one.
Free Riders impressed me due to the fact that it was even functional. Like, it was still pretty terrible, but at least you were able to move and do something.
I’ve only been talking about music. Though SA2’s stage version of GHZ is cool.
edited for clarity.
id like to see another riders game, but I fear they may just butcher it with new gimmicks
any news on next gen sonic? I do remember the erection sonic 06 gave when the teaser was shown and screens where popping up, I mean for Christ sake it had super sonic in it which led us to believe he was playable (technically he was with the rainbow gem but…smh)
nevar forget…LOOK AT THE SPEED, FUQ HAPPENED YO RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHhhh!!! Shadow Ace has disconnected
That CG trailer showed a lot of promise on stuff that didn’t happen…SMH
There were rumors of a new sonic in the works other than Sonic Boom awhile back and I don’t doubt that they’re working on it. Considering that Boom is being done by dif dev and Lost World came out last year we probably should be expecting to hear what Sonic Team has been up to next year. I’m pretty interested to see what they choose to do going forward onto the new consoles.
Unleashed and generations were pretty decent games, but sega will probably continue the trend of 3d sonic having an identity crisis
teamwork sonic game—>cussing hedgehog with guns—>hedgehog kissing princesses and coming back to life—> medieval hedgehog with a sword—>werehog—>sonic in super mario galaxy–>sonic joins the nba
different is good, right?
hehe
Sonic Riders has the rare distinction of being one of the 3 games I’ve ever traded in.
Fuckin hated that game. I even tried to pawn it off on someone else I thought would like it. Nope. I gave it to my little brother Justin who was like 10 or 11 at the time and he gave it back like a week later telling me it sucked. I took it back and got like 45 bucks in credit I used to buy something I sure I had a lot more fun with it.
Sonic Riders just got worse with the sequels, EXCELLENT concept and style the first one had. That Badass anime cutscene and the music really set the mood. Sucks they didn’t just keep it simple and upgrade the graphics.
@Rokmode
I agree, but the average console gamer will stick to his console and defend it with all his being against naysayers (not saying smashbro is acting this way).
Will pc games always look and play better? Hell yeah, if your computer is up for it.
Will console games always be more accessible and easier to run? Hell yeah.

what store was this?..I need to do all my future purchases from this store alone
Yeah, that’s a shit ton of money. Was this, like, within the month that the game got released?
Just wanna say that the characters introduced in Sonic Riders were shit
they where just carbon copies of sonic,tails, and knuckles just in competitive bird form
Sonic and Jet = cocky wise ass
Knux and Storm = strong dumbass
tails and wave = brainy ass nerds
actually if they where developed properly then maybe, Jet at least has some honor since he isnt down with cheating which I can respect…
Sonic 2 HD is back in development
Yea it was like 2 or 3 weeks after release.
lol @ the notion that the new stuff is going to be for kids “unlike the old stuff.”
El. Oh. El.
