Three days until anniversary, guys
>>342172308
Three days until we get a teaser image for a new Classic Sonic game where you switch between 16-Bit and 3D graphics
>>342174725
No.
3 days until we get sonic 1-3&knuckles on 3ds with that 3D gimmick Nintendo has been doing to nes and snes games they have on VC.

>switch between 16-Bit and 3D graphics
Well first of all there's an uneasy feeling in my gut that says we're getting fuck all in three days time except some memes from the Twitter. But also, that sounds spectacularly shit, considering in the pic you posted Sega couldn't even RECYCLE sprites properly, let alone make new 16-bit content that doesn't suck. I also can't imagine how they'd do straight up 2D to 3D transitions in a way that isn't shitty/tacky/forced.
Basically, I fucking hope not.
>>342174367
Literally "Spinning Mario" the game.
>>342175596
Fuck you're probably right
There's going to be a live stream on that day from Sega.
https://www.sonicstadium.org/2016/06/sonic-25th-anniversary-joypolis-party-to-be-live-streamed/
>>342175596
but they've already done 1 and 2
>>342176680
Yeah and?
Sega has ported the same game multiple times on PC. what is stopping them from doing the same on 3ds and every other fucking console.
>>342176849
they already have that 3D thing as well, they've already done half of what you said
>>342177027
Yes, And?
I still wouldn't put it passed them to put all 4 games on one cart and sell it again. They have done this shit before.
>>342176591
Actually, the party is gonna be the 25
>>342176849
This is very true but I do wonder why they bothered to make new classic Sonic art if it's not a new game
>Implying we're not getting Adventure 3, Rush 3, and Riders 3
>>342178278
but it is a new gameon mobile
>>342178446
>Riders 3
The game was shit. Now Riders 4 I'm down with.
>>342175596
Wow, are you this fucking retard in real life too?
>>342174367
I thought the event was in July?
>a month until they actually announce the new game at the San Diego party
>>342178278
Maybe they're stickers for a phone application like Line.
>>342180106
Yes, but the anniversary is on June 23th.
>>342180123
I don't give a shit how long it takes, as long as it's good.
>>342180243
Gotcha. Is SEGA doing anything special that day?
>>342174367
And? No game announcement until July.
>>342180383
There's a Birthday Party two days later. >>342176591
It's going to be streamed
Favorite character song?
Rouge's is actually pretty nice

Ive been replaying the main series of sonic games over the last week and it just dawned on me the classics arent really classics at all. Going through sonic 1 and CD was a fucking borefest, it picked up a bit with sonic 2, sonic 3 was soso, and sonic and knuckles sucked ass after mushroom hill. Sonic 3D Blast isnt that "good" but I had more fun with it than any of the genesis games. sonic 3 and knuckles dragged on so much I was just waiting for it to end by flying battery.
I havent started up adventure 1 yet but am just kind of surprised by how much I used to believe how flawless the "classics" were. I cant see myself playing them until the 30th anniversary sadly.
>>342180383
Sega America is doing this the day after the anniversary

>>342180606
His World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-EsHiMGsmM
>>342181582
You liked 3D Blast more than Sonic 1-3? What in the actual fuck? 3D Blast is actually torture
>>342182001
Yeah man im just as surprised. I dont think 3D Blast is that good like I said, but I somehow had way more fun with it. I never liked sonic 1 or CD and consider them some of the worst in the series. Sonic 2 for me, goes to shit after mystic cave. Half of sonic 3 is fun (angel island, hydrocity, ice cap) while the other half is garbage (marble garden, carnival night, launch base) and mushroom hill is the only level I like in SK.
And I used to switch around these games all day on my genesis and then when i got internet access would hit up sonic forums and say how perfect they are and shit. I dont know what happened
>>342181821What about this version of His world? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlcTvqyRB6Q
>>342182312
They aren't perfect but I still think they're great games. All the zones are the same shit to me, you either like it or you don't. I rarely even play video games anymore anyway, for some reason I still stick around to see what's coming next but I doubt I'll be buying a new game anytime soon. But seriously maybe you just liked the look of 3D Blast and the music or something because that game is a nightmare to control and the level design is boring as fuck
>>342179306
Sorry I'm just making a logical assumption based on Sega's past Business practices.

I know that feel exactly. The only vested interest I have left in gaming is the one that got me into gaming: sonic. I have fire and ice preordered and am excited for the main project from sonic team. Besides that...theres really nothing else I feel I want to play.
I liked 3D blast a lot because I have great memories with it. My sega saturn didnt have a whole lot of games and I didnt play much on it. 3D blast, nights, panzer dragoon, daytona, fighting vipers. Mostly arcade ports. But I spent so much time with 3D blast and really did enjoy it. I have some weird attachment to it that still holds up today that I lost for the genesis games. I actually am looking forward to replaying the 3D sonics, even if theyre inconsistent. Like adventure, dont like adventure 2. Like heroes, dont like 06. Like unleashed, cant stand colors. Like generations, lost world wasactually not to bad
>>342183310
>>342183310
Fair enough about 3D blast, it has its moments but personally I can't bare going through the whole game. I'm the same, only care about Sonic really. I hate boom though so I won't be playing fire and ice. I guess I hate it because of the association with the kid's TV show and it reminds me that I'm an adult yet I still give a fuck about a pretend blue hedgehog. Your 3D Sonic opinions are the same as mine except I think 06 had good level design but the shitty engine and story ruined it. Glad to hear someone else hating Colors that shit is way overrated.
>>342183781
Just the music and setting of it all, all the levels are so pretty and fun to explore but i understand its a really divisive game so well leave it at that. I was really against boom to at first but then it dawned on me that sega might be trying to get in a new generation of fans. I completely get it. Im 27, i grew up with my sonic and the kids can have their sonic, fair game. The wii u game is more like an incomplete 3D adventure/platformer game from the ps2 or gamecube while the first 3DS game was a weird series of labyrinths. Having seen fire and ice footage, I can safely say it looks like a big step up and is ditching the maze like designs and going for more traditional level design. Love the cartoon too. Im not ashamed to love sonic because hes the only thing thats keeping me interested in video games.
06 needs a major revision with the engine and story but i think youre right. Not all levels are hits but it captures the feeling of a sonic adventure game but in HD and kind of marks the end of an era of sonic, before the hedgehog engine and boost gameplay took over starting in 2008. Colors was complete junk and a major step down, especially coming off the heels of unleashed. Itll be interesting when it comes to play that again, since I only beat it once and never went back to it after that
>>342183781
I want to like Colors so badly, but it's just so janky and stiff. There's no flow to it. It's always
>gofastgofastSTOP... wisp ... gofastgofastSTOP ... basic bitch platforming ... gofastgofastEND
Whereas the Classics had more of a blend of these things so it felt natural. Colors doesn't have that. Lost World has much the same problem, perhaps even worse so.
That's not to say I hate Colors. I think it deserves a little credit for bringing Sonic back into good graces with the general public, but I can't ignore its glaring flaws.
Meanwhile on the other end of the spectrum (kek) Unleashed is very much underrated. If only because it was the first game to official bring Sonic out of the Dark Ages. But really, Unleashed is just a really solid game overall that's marred by a questionable gimmick and tedious padding. Really glad to see the daytime stages get ported over to PC Generations, and I hope someone makes a mod for the night ones too. Of all the beautiful atmosphere that game had, the night stages had the best.
>>342184720
I honestly liked Colors DS more than the Wii version. It had a better story too.
>>342184720
How would someone even mod the werehog stages into pc with werehog gameplay?
>>342184720
I actually loved the Werehog and the whole vibe it brought to the game with the day/night thing. They should never have made him slow, it should have been fast paced platforming with bits of acrobatics and combat but not fucking tidal waves of enemies with generic locked out areas. And that battle music ruined it
SA3 soon fellas
>>342185196
Some stages handled this pretty good. Empire city, holoska, chun nan, adabat. Levels like shamar, mazuri, or spagonia night though, oof. The end of spagonia night with the clocktower climb was great but there was so much inner city street fights before that. But i love how it feels like charging through a quiet big city at night and the music gives it some halloween vibes. Im mixed on apotos night, since its a gorgeous conversion and simple and fun beginning level but it couldve used more platforming. Running down the nicely lit hallways down the road and passing over all the gardens though was just beautiful. All the night stages in unleashed have a really "cool" feel to them. Everything feels right, appropriate, beautiful, respectful. The architecture design pleases my autism spectacularly. Design wise they are fucking perfect. Thatd be cool to see it on pc, with the levels more cut up giving more platforming and a few less enemy spawns in some areas. Despite their flaws, sometimes i just love running through holoska or chun nan at night in marvel at the water, setpieces, and architecture of it all. Extremely underrated game
>>342185923
Yeah I loved holoska and the sections where you went down those slides. Agree with you about running through the city at night, I also loved his running animation. Just the repetitive fighting and lack of freedom got in the way for most of it

Will Sonic have blue arms for his anniversary?

Nooooooooo
>>342178446
>Adventure 3
Sonic 06
>Rush 3
Sonic Colors DS
>Riders 3
Sonic Free Riders
So nothing new then?
>>342186662
>Rush 3
>With out Blaze
So shit then
>>342186154
I thought the fighting got better as the game went on. Lots of combos and other shit to use besides just mashing X and it read inputs well and all that...A little more freedom wouldve helped it for sure but nothing against linear games since theyre focused. What sucks is how some levels like chun nan, adabat, shamar, and empire city were supposed to continue on beyond their ending you see in the final game. They just walled them off or cut them out weeks before the launch. Then they finished them up later and theyre in the DLC if you ever got that. The real kicker? These original endings was where a lot of the platforming took place. Shamar night desperately needed this and it wouldve made the ending of adabat night more exciting.
so to be clear, the 23rd is the anniversary, but they haven't said anything about an announcement on that date, and something will be introduced during the streamed party two days later?
>>342186912
I liked the midair drill attack, that shit was cool. I only downloaded the daytime DLC and regretted paying for it lol.
>>342187109
june 23-sonics anniversary, this never changes
june 25th- sega japan has an event called joypolis called, will be streamed, chances of any announcements are low, maybe something bizarre like an unleashed or colors pc port
july 22- sonic boom 2016, event hosted by sega america in san diego, california and will be similar to the sonic boom 2011 event it seems, will promote boom season 2 and fire and ice a bit, but its here they will definitely announce a new main sonic game with a full trailer, maybe a demo for attendees
>>342187391
>maybe something bizarre like an unleashed or colors pc port
Rumor is a Sonic games collection for the Ps4/Xbone
>>342187261
Oh yeah that drill slapped shit around. daytime dlc? the packs came with levels for both day and night. Some of the day ones are meh but the night stages are actually pretty good i found. Complete switch from the main game lol
>>342187628
Oh yeah those adventure packs right, I totally forgot because I was bored of the werehog and rarely touched his stages once I beat the game LOL
>>342187596
If its one of those tired 1-3 collections I couldnt give one fuck. But if it was those plus the main series 3D games thatd be a tremendous value and a fantastic buy. I'd be all over an HD sonic heroes
THERE IS GOING TO BE NO NEW SONIC GAME
ABANDON A HOPE. SEGA IS ANNOUNCING NOTHING
I HOPE YOU LIKED LOST WORLD BECAUSE ITS THE LAST SONIC GAME YOURE GETTING
RIP SONIC
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
>>342187813
I used to play the shit out of Sonic mega collection plus, imagine if they released a massive collection with every main Sonic game from 1-Lost World. That won't happen but that I'd consider buying.

>>342188237
Don't forget segasonic.
i would replay 06 if the loading was fixed

Shit sucks. Playing SA2 back in the day during summer was amazing

Shadow the Hedgehog 2 made byPlatinumwhen?
>>342192610
It'll end up being worse than the first one
Honestly, I'd settle for an updated/3D/HD 3K on any new system.
The game deserves that much at the least.

>>342190501
Just with porting it to PC, the loading times would be faster. I have been playing the PC version of Heroes lately and it is way way faster than the PS2 version.
>>342191969
>PS2 port is the base for all ports
JUST
>>342194367I enjoyed the cinematography in Sonic 06.
>>342194367
The loading times arent because of console limits. Unleashed and generations, unleashed especially, offers much more tremendously detailed and lengthy stages than anything in 06.
06 loads slow as fuck because every time it loads, it loads every single object in the map. Its inefficiently programmed and obviously was nowhere near completion
>>342195729
Mah nigga
>>342195908
That's true, but there's still a difference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YajOhWvuVM
>>342175875
for a short while, Sonic was better than Mario
>>342196476
It would load faster but it would still be broken and load slowly because of its inefficiency and unfinished properties. It needs to be properly examined over and fixed. Stamp out of the more egregious bugs and remaster the graphics. Would take a 3/10 game to a 6/10 right away just doing those things
whjo could Sega so consistently fuck up such a great game concept/IP
Sonic was so satisfying when it was all about landing those perfect jumps, and just going fast. they made going fast so satisfying that it was its own reward for playing well.
>>342196552
the only time mario was better than sonic was with their 3D debuts. 64 and sunshine are much better games than the adventure series. heroes is much better than the adventure games but has problems of its own but is a worthy contender to marios early 3D games. once the boost games rolled out starting with unleashed, they were much better than marios galaxy and nsmb games. now theyre about equal, since 3D world and lost world were both fucking garbage.
>>342196552
>Implying Sonic was EVER better than Mario
I mean maybe if you're comparing it to Hotel Mario, but even that's debatable.
>>342194180
Take his phone off him and open his Gmail! LEAK THE GAME MY BROTHER
>>342197192
Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the peak
honestly better then all the Mario games at the time
and I only played it recently since I never owned a Genesis as a kid.
