The Sonic the hedgehog thread V.7 2017 its been generations since the last good sonic game

I don’t understand why so many people want Sonic to be lonely and alone forever. Him having friends was never the problem; it was the unfocused gameplay that surrounded said friends.

They don’t want him to be lonely and alone forever, what they don’t want is more characters on top of the 20+ that ALREADY exist, and as you already said, the unfocused gameplay that comes as a result of that sometimes.

yeah I was stuck on that stage as a kid and couldn’t figure it out, the ghosts kept being dicks

I’m against adding new characters. Sonic’s cast is big enough and many of them are underutilized. They need to use who they have.

I liked the shooting stages in Sonic Adventure 2. Sure, it wasn’t what you expected but it was fun.

Carnival Night Act 2 and Sandopolis Act 2 are the largest stages in 3K. Everytime I make a play through of that zone I"m usually around the above 7 minute or more mark.

Sand zone 2 isnt that long if yiu know exactly where ur going. As knuckles its even quicker as the parts where u have to wait for the sand you can just climb the walls.

Hell no, Sonic don’t need any more playable friends. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles will suffice, thank you.

I swear, it’s like some of you want the Sonic franchise to fail by continuing to do the same shit that has proven to not work.

Do you play a Mega Man game, and then complain that Dr. Light isn’t playable?

Gameplay variety isn’t a bad thing so long as they make it work well.

I liked Sonic Battle for its story more than its gameplay. But I’d be so down for a more traditional sonic fighting game.

…You telling me you wouldn’t want to play as Dr. Light? He made Mega Man, imagine how many fucking weapons he could pull out of his ass!

^When you put it likee that, playing as Dr. Light sounds amazing lol

Wanted Espio to get more love

and all the stage 3 zones in sonic are the worst

Video going into the history of the two developers working on Sonic Mania, good stuff

My friend’s uncle works at Sega and he says that you’ll be able to play a Sonic and Shadow and Knuckles and the final boss is Perfect Chaos combined with the final boss with the name that I don’t remember from Sonic Adventure 2 and that at the end of the game it will reveal that Sonic Adventure 3 will come out tin 2018

stop lying

we know you have no friends

I know how people feel about polygon but they have 8 minutes of direct feed footage of Sonic Mania so

Also Shadow the Hedgehog sounds like he’s calling people cunts in Mario & Sonic apparently…don’t think I’d put it past him

Also Gameexplain put up an analysis

No instashielf. BOO! it rewarded skillful play, and if you were good with it you could maintain your momentum with it. Ie. if you were running full speed and you knew exactly where/when a badnick is, with perfect timing you can instashield through them. Especially those annoying ones with circle/spikes going around them.

Bad idea. We want instashield!

Uh, really dude? The game isn’t even out yet, and they did replace that mechanic with another one, it’s not like they’re saying FUCK SKILLFUL PLAY. I mean shit.

I didnt need insta ahield to maintain my momentum in Sonic 2 :coffee:
