Debugger working with Sonic Team who happens to be a /v/tard here, waiting for a plane, jetlagged to hell, killing some time on my laptop. Will take a few questions if you guys want.
Better post the token insider info first...
>Sonic Team working on 25th Anniversary game, internal title is just "Sega Sonic 25", but this has recently been changed to "Digital Sonic 25"
>Game is a "Celebration of Sega as a whole", which is basically Sonic Generations 2 without the boost stuff and has Sonic going through worlds from Segas past a bit like SASRT
>There's a couple of side projects
>3/4s of the Lost World team is working on Digital Sonic 25, but the team itself is much larger, taking notes from lots of figureheads from Segas past, there's a number of others working on 2 other projects
>"Sonic Runners" is a mobile game with a bit of pay2win in there, I haven't worked on it personally, but from what I've heard they're going for addictive fast paced platforming
>There's an exclusive Wii U title that's currently on hold as Sega have shifted the team to working on Digital Sonic 25 as they want it finished by this year to be polished for the anniversary
>The exclusive Wii U title is just an extended port of Generations and Colors, billed as "Sonic Colors Generation", with a bunch of extra missions and stuff. The core game is for the most part the same, warts and all
They need to stop celebrating Sonic's history already.
He had a good 3 and a half years and 20 plus years of absolute shit. They should be pretending the last 20 years never happened, not celebrating it.
>>252776382
Not a huge fan of the sound of Digital Sonic 25... why would Sonic be going into other Sega worlds? Meh let's just see what happens anyway.
>>252776980
>They need to stop celebrating Sonic's history already.
Tell me about it. Generations was meh at best and Colours, which is the only good Sonic game of the last 10 years, is confined to a sub HD console
>>252777169
>confined to a sub HD console
But Anon, I can play it 1080p 60FPS on my PC.
>>252776382
Why does Sega keep doing these anniversary celebration games for Sonic? You don't see these kinds of games being made for other franchises.
>>252777071
The story is pretty flimsy.
>Eggman kidnaps Tails
>Sonic goes through a Green Hill Zone level to get to Eggman
>Gets kidnapped himself
>Gets thrown in to a Digital world created by Eggman with the rule that he's "trapped forever" unless he can break the program
>Has to go through (so far) 11 worlds from the likes of Shinobi, Phantasy Star, all the token Master System/Genesis games finding a way to break the program
>Eventually gets free with the power of some kind of digital chaos emeralds and breaks the program
>Fights Eggman in Eggman Land, which he's rebuilt in Sonics absence
It's Segas 25th anniversary game, not Sonics
I believe you because no one would lie about being with such a now-shitty company.
Is the 25 game looking good?
>new Generations
>console only
But why would you do this
>>252777294
It's being handled as a Sega Anniversary, and Sonic is Segas mascot, so he's going through all the worlds from Segas golden age. There's a Golden Axe world which looks pretty stellar
>>252776382
When the fuck are we getting a full on console 2d main series game? Sega spends all this fucking effort trying to make Sonic NEW and FRESH and fails every time. Has it ever fucking occurred to them to just try doing what made Sonic so great to begin with?
>>252776382
>Sonic Generations 2 without the boost stuff
FAAAAAAKE
>>252777442
Digital Sonic 25 is so far being worked on for PS4/Xbone, with an altered version for the Wii U. PC release isn't confirmed, but there's the token outsourced 3DS version. No Vita version.
>Generations and Colours Wii U wit extra stuff
I'll buy it
>Debugger working with Sonic Team who happens to be a /v/tard here
Start doing your fucking job right, most Sonic games are a buggy mess
listen to me. listen good. it will help sega.
release PSO2 in the states and Europe.
fucking hell. just listen to this request please.
>>252776382
question: do they still celebrate sonic 06 as if it was actually something decent?
>>252777404
Is Wii U cut out from the Anniversary one? Better ask this now so I can just get over it already.
>>252777501
They tried this with Sonic 4 and it failed monumentally. Unless they get the physics sorted (which, to be fair, Lost World was a great leap in the right direction) a 2D game is always going to play horribly
THE SEGA WORKER THREADS ARE ALWAYS LIES
EVERY FUCKIN TIME
FUCK YOU OP
There better be a Comix Zone level
>>252777404
Ahh, I get it now, it's a Sega anniversary game. Looking forward to the final battle in Eggmanland, that was my favourite all time stage from Sonic's history, hopefully it's just as challenging as it was in Unleashed.
Any idea what platforms it'll be on?
Why would you make this Sega Anniversary thing a Sonic game?
Sonic is the main thing I hate about Sega
>>252777543
No, I meant the "Sonic Colors Generation" thing.
>>252776382
Okay OP
when should Sega Sonic 25 be announced and when should it be released
>>252777632
>>252777698
see>>252777543
The Wii U version is...different. Not inferior, but different. Much less focus on speed and more Colors/Lost World platform heavy
>>252776382
Post proof please
>>252777640
I KNEW someone would fucking say Sonic 4 I FUCKING KNEW IT. IT DOESN'T COUNT. It makes me so fucking mad knowing they're probably blaming the concept for failing instead of the piece of shit game by itself that they put negative levels of effort into. Sonic 4 was an abysmal piece of shit in every fucking way possible, I swear to god they were deliberately trying to make it bad. We need a PROPER 2D GAME on consoles that doesn't have shit physics, shit controls, shit level design and shit music. One that they actually put fucking effort and care into. I don't even care if its not perfect or uses the goddamn modern designs, a real console 2d main series game is what Sonic needs more than anything.
>>252777640
I'm pretty sure Sonic 4 was developed as a cheap Cell-phone title before Sega decided to quickly port it for Digital Download and throw a '4' on the end and call it a sequel in a halfhearted attempt to try to lure in older, nostalgic Sonic fans.
>>252777927
It was called sonic dl before it got the 4
>>252777927
>older, nostalgic Sonic fans.
It's a funny thing, being older. You tend to be a little more discerning when it comes to finding flaws in things than you could when you were a child. Whoops.
>>252777910
Isnt Sonic 4 a mobile game that got ported to consoles?
Anyway, I'd expect a console 2d sonic game to look like generations. It would be cool. Or at least a decent Sonic DIMPS game, seriously, they used to be good.
>>252777834
It's being planned to be released on the 25th Anniversary of Sonics debut, which is seen as the period where the company "took off"
Expect an announcement in 2015 and a release in the second quarter of 2016
The only thing I care about is that both games are on Wii U. If that is correct, I am all in.
>>252777910
Sonic 4Episode 2
>>252777850
So it is indeed inferior
>>252778139
>He never played Unleashed on the Wii
OP said it's getting a different release
>>252777882
Sonic really does sell some good chili dogs.
>>252777404
>Sega's 25th anniversary game
Wait
SEGA was founded in 1960
Unless you mean SEGA Studios, which was founded in 1983 which would mean this should of come out in 2008
Unless you mean when SEGA studios reorganized itself in 1990 which means this game would be for their 25th anniversary next year
Hmm
>>252778175
Can't be too different, it's not like the 3 consoles are as far apart power wise as wiips360
>>252778169
If it's Lost World but with no poorly implemented gimmicks, I'd say it'll do much better with critics and fans. Lost World's platforming was fine. It's when they expanded beyond that where it got shaky.
>>252778042
What garbage. I wonder who made the call on that decision.
Clearly they saw what Capcom did with mega man but couldn't be bothered to actually make an original game to try to capitalize on it.
Lets get this started
Sonic franchise needs to die.
I know it, you know it, we all know it. It needs to go.
>>252778175
I don't give half a shit. It's either PC or Wii U for me. And unleashed wasn't THAT bad on Wii.
>The exclusive Wii U title is just an extended port of Generations and Colors, billed as "Sonic Colors Generation"
It's actually like you wanted me to get to the end and think "wow, I guess I wasted my time reading that"
>>252778312
>Clearly they saw what Capcom did with mega man but couldn't be bothered to actually make an original game to try to capitalize on it.
When the what
>>252777169
Unleashed was leauges better than Colours though. I can't stress enogh how much I hate Colours.
>>252778284
It would do okay if it wasnt a sonic game. I am not even a sonic fan but the lack of speed is what completly kills the game
>>252778430
>Unleashed was better than Colours
Do you enjoy eating a meal that's 1/3 amazing, but the other 2/3s are literal shit on your plate..? That's how I feel about Unleashed.
>>252778148
Yeah? What about it, cunt? It was every bit as shit as episode 1. Do not give me that shit, any whiff of improvement is negligible in bowl of utter shit. The entirety of Sonic 4 not only does not live up to the original trilogy, it's a million times worse. It's even far worse than Sonic Advance. Fuck, it's far worse than Sonic Rush. At least Rush had good music and tolerable physics. How the fuck do they go that far backwards?? HOW?? It makes no fucking sense unless they were purposefully trying to fuck over Sonic 4 as much as possible.
I don't trust sonic rumors
>some guy on /v/ claimed he worked for sega and sonic will be pushed for ps4 and skip other system
>sonic excursion
>chao garden
Closest was when someone said one of the wiiu Sonics was like heroes
>>252778435
>He can't go fast on Lost World
Git gud
>>252778315
Sonic CD is good, it's just designed differently than most Sonic games. They're designed more maze-like to make finding the Metal Sonic machines hard to find. Sonic 3&K is god tier. The best Sonic game bar none. The only Sonic game that ranks up their with Mario's best. Otherwise the rest, is fine with me.
>>252778315

>>252778315
>someone else who didn't like Sonic CD
I am glad.
I'm believing it just because it sounds somewhat fun.
I just want something good to happen to Sonic again. I'm so miserable, I don't know why I even stay a fan of the series anymore.
>>252778435
I disagree. Sonic goes "fast enough". Just fast enough to where you still have fucking control. Also, if you're real good, you can just boost infinitely. Seriously, it's the most well designed thing about Lost World
>>252778684
What was better about the Japanese Adventures?
>>252778684
Okay hold the fuck up. You hate Sonic CD but like Chaotix? Fuck right off with that shit.
>>252778368
Mega Man 9.
>>252778479
The werehog stages weren't even that bad compared to Clors' shitty 40 second filler stages, blue fucking wisp, constant stop and go platforming, blocky platforming in general in 2D sections that resemble nothing out of a 2D Sonic game mind you, the whole game was 75% 2D and don't get me started on the cutscenes.
>>252778742
My opinion has always been this. It's as fast as you can go without having 30% of the level completely on rails like Generations. I hated Generations for this
>>252778338
sonic's a gaming icon, just like mario. it will never go away as long as gaming is still around

>>252778821
>Complaining about Platforming in a Platform game

>>252778742
The binary speed shit is what ruins it. Three speeds: stop, go, fast. That is completely fucking contrary to how Sonic should work. Sonic is about gradually building up speed naturally, and earning speed through terrain manipulation. Now they added a fucking run button? It's that shit that actually got me to drop Lost World.
>>252778867
Most people's problems with gens was how it wanted to be "the fast" sonic game but didn't commit to that.
>>252778867
>Liking Generations
>A game where a good 30% of it consists of you holding the boost button to win
No, anon. Fuck you. I don't like you one bit.
>>252778684
Heroes, CD and Unleashed were amazing.
Why does Jason griffiths sonic always sound like he's asking a question?
>>252778901
I'm allowes to when the platformin isn't momentum based like the other 2D sonic games. I prefer the slope like stage design of the classic 2D games compared to Colours Blocky stop and go shit.
>>252778315
wait you are saying that colors was better than Unleashed? You are saying that Unleashed didn't have the best ending boss of all time? Fuck off
>>252778995
>Boost2win maymay
Opinion disregarded.
>>252779106
Sonic hasn't been momentum based in since the 16 bit era
If you like platforming balanced with speed, then Sonic CD should probably be your favorite Sonic game of all. If all you want is speed, Sonic Rush should be your favorite.
>>252779151
If you drop the chip section then it's fine, same level as perfect chaos in boss fight tiers
>>252779256
if only there was a more modern sonic rush, keeping the music style and gameplay but obviously with much better visuals. call it rush 3(DS)
>>252778995
As opposed to Colors, which is just "press forward to win" in 3d areas and blocky, no-momentum platforming with almost no stage-specific hazards/enemies in 2d areas.
At least Gens has actual level design.
>>252778929
Sega will never do pinball momentum in 3D because it's too complicated physics wise without getting glitches and also it might be too hard to design levels around this. We're going to have to accept this unless they make a breakthrough on pinball momentum in 3D.
>>252779381
I didnt get to play Rush adventure, how was it?
>>252778996
Wrong.
Top Sonic games OFFICIALLY are
Sonic 1
Sonic 2
Sonic 3 and Knuckles
Sonic CD
Sonic Advance
Sonic Colors
Sonic Generations
everything else is mediocre at best
except Sonic Adventure 2 that is an extremely debatable game because it had highs better than anything released after it but had some serious lows
>>252778315

>>252778747
>What was better about the Japanese Adventures?
The voices didn't sound like a cat neutering parade.I also didn't understand what they were saying, which is even better considering the awful dialog! Voice acting is probably one of the worse things that happened to this franchise.
I also had it new, meaning I was playing this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnNTj0zwMFU
while most other Americans were stuck with an N64/PS1/Saturn/Jaguar for a year or more still. I took it to parties, people freaked out over how pretty and jarring it was. That made the japanese one extra good for the short time it got to shine.
>>252779435
Two fan developers accomplished it, and they even have far less bugs than the official games do with their shitty linear physics. Damizean's BlitzSonic and Xaklse's Sonic UDK.
Besides of which, lack of pinball physics doesn't mean you need fucking binary speed with a run button. Sonic Adventure worked great. Natural movement and you didn't need to press a fucking goddamn button to go from walk to run.
>>252779574
Did you not listen to Eggman's voice in Tails's story mode? That motherfucker sounded like he wanted to gut your baby and eat your face.
I just beat CD and have been playing through Generations and holy shit, there are so many times where I hit a jump pad and the game always has me pointing in the opposite direction than what I want and holy shit, I could literally put the controller down for the Truck Chase in City Escape
>>252779574
wait but
okay this always bothered me
who put the speed boosts on the bridge???
and why were they placed so conveniently?? as if they KNEW the whale was gonna freak out??
...because that's weird
>>252779516
Even if that were the case (which it isn't): at least Gens has actual level design.
Colors had some stuff resembling actual gameplay between all those filler acts- some Aquarium Park and Asteroid Coaster levels come to mind- but it's not enough to make a whole game out of it.
>>252778525
>Advance
>Bad
Did you grow up with an NGage?
>>252779305
>>252779898
People just like Generations for the fan servicey bits. The actual design of the game is pretty bleh. Much like all 3D Sonics, really.
>>252779461
>no Sonic Rush
also why not Advance 2 and 3
>>252776382
Fuck you, I woke up early to clean the house...
Okay... Who's writing it?
>>252779989
Where did I say Advance was bad? Advance was good but the games had their issues and did not live up to the originals.
>>252780150
Advance 2 is a hold right to win, with a shit method for special stages, where as 3 is just shit because the gimmick is pointless.
>>252779574
So its a better game because you could brag about it?
Faggot.
>>252780060
It's a good game. Good enough. It definitely requires skill to speedrun.
>>252777231
>But Anon, I can play it 1080p 60FPS on my PC.
No, you can't do 60 FPS, the game is locked at 30... unless I'm missing something. I think I tried with Unleashed and it was just the game running twice as fast, not higher framerate itself. Explain please?
>>252780060
Actually Generations is a lot of fun despite the very few bugs present but I can understand you hopping on the bandwagon of hating every 3d sonic game despite not having played any of them !
If you did you would realize that Generations is the most stable Sonic game in a while but you're a pleb so have fun with that
>>252779684
Forget 3D pinball, I'd be happy if Sonic Team just mastered S3&K physics again.
>>252780254
I guess the way you put it sounded like you didn't like it. Point taken.
>>252778665
>that shit
>fast
looks slow as fuck m8

>>252780374
They'd need Yuji Naka for that.
>>252780351
>most stable
And it's stable at being absolutely shit.
Note that this chart is based off my most recent playthrough of each game, Heroes might change once I replay it
>>252780295
Yeah, it's a good game. I wont' deny that. I definitely had fun with it. I still think there's tons of improvement to be had for Sonic in the 3D space, though.
>>252780497
Not the guy you responded to, but Sega really needs to stop shoehorning the 2d sections into the 3d games. They did this with LW and it backfired terribly
>>252780474
These. These are good opinions.
>>252780465
>bitter faggot
stay classy
>>252776382
>Game is a "Celebration of Sega as a whole", which is basically Sonic Generations 2 without the boost stuff and has Sonic going through worlds from Segas past a bit like SASRT
I want to believe.
>>252780497
I think Lost World is a step in the right direction. Just needs a little tweaking. Maybe put a little Generations back in but where it makes sense.
>>252779898
You actually cannot, as the truck will get to you eventually.
But yeah, it's just an automated, "cinematic" section to top off an otherwise decent level. Don't really see it as offensive, but it does exemplify the boost2win philosophy that ruled throughout the 3d sections in Colors and (most of) Unleashed.
>>252780465
lel
It's not that stable, though, and definitely uneven in its progression and overall quality.
I would argue both Colors and Unleashed, despite being worse off in many respects, are much more polished.
>>252780463
>Yuji Naka
Nope, the man is spoiled. Taxman knows S3&K physics to the bone, I would rather trust him.
>>252780267
okay but what about Sonic Adventure I thought that was more agreed upon than 2. It was the better of the 2
>>252780463
Or one of the dozen fans who have successfully programmed accurate recreations of the original engines, two of which they hired for, reasons I will never understand, nothing more than fucking phone ports of Sonic CD, Sonic 1 and 2. These programmers run fucking laps around the entirety of Sonic Team and Dimps and could easily outclass anything those incompetent fuckwits have ever made and create an ideal main series Sonic game. But nope. Sonic 2 on Android.
>>252780792
>the man is spoiled.
It's too bad Naka hasn't actually done programming for a video game since Nights. He was one of the most talented the industry has ever seen. But then he became too successful to do that kind of busywork. Too bad.
Can we shut the fuck up about Sonic faggotry for a moment and discuss the fact they're going to be showing off a bunch of their older and seldom used IPs? They could be using this to reintroduce them to gauge interest and see which ones they should revive.
>>252776382
How can we believe you?
>>252780897
I knew about Taxman long ago like in 2000-2002 and he was working on his engine since back then. He was part of the Sonic Fan Game scene. He's been working on the "Retro Engine" for YEARS. Like it took him a decade to get it to the polished level it is now. So... hard work not wasted.
>>252781150
>Believing OP
>>252781150
That sounds great, except for the fact that the OP is just some troll.
>>252780474
You seem like a nice guy, anon. Good work.
>>252779256
what if I like 3&k?
>>252781225
That was early on when the mysterious of Sonic physics were still being solved. Goes to show how incredible the original developers of the Sonic games were. Nowadays, the mysteries have been thoroughly solved. There's an entire online guide to creating accurate Sonic physics. There's numerous fan engines for different softwares, even in raw C++, that are all accurate or close approximations of the original Sonic physics, some of which are vastly superior to anything Sega has shat out in the last 20 years.
>>252781591
You like a solid, meaty Sonic game that is extremely polished and fun, but doesn't necessarily do either speed or platforming all that well either.
>>252781591
Then congratulations, you like the best Sonic game in existence. It's seriously up there as one of the pinnacle of 2D platformers. There is a reason why Sonic survives so well. And the legacy of Sonic 2 and 3&K are big reasons.
>>252781701
Elaborate on "not doing either well".
I honestly think rush may do speed well,
but CD for me does really nothing.
It's just a mess.
Is collision chaos good platforming?
Why places like launch base and lava reef shouldn't be the best of both worlds?
I am genuinely curious.
>>252782053
It's actually designed well, because there are plenty of spots specifically designed for Time travel and it's more mazey so finding the Metal Sonic's aren't obvious.
>>252782053
The game ain't all that fast. And the game doesn't have all that much platforming. Simple as that.
It's really long, and it's really pretty. But it definitely comes more from the Sonic 2 mold, for better or for worse.
>>252782053
Like this guy (>>252782214), a good chunk of people don't like it because it's not "gotta go fast"

Friendly reminder.
>>252782643

>>252782941I deleted my post because it wasn't well thrown together hoping that someone didn't noticebut yeah, Sandopolis is also what I was thinking about, not the ghosts though. That's challenging gameplay, the non-challenging part was pushing rocks, using the ropey things (you can avoid them but I often pick them up my mistake) and waiting for the sand to fill.
One other big offender were probably Mushroom Hill's lifters and the spinning top things in Marble Garden.
What language are they using?
Are they still using the Hedgehog engine or is this next game using a variant of that?
>>252782636
As long as the gameplay continues to be "The opening of sonic cd but in 3d" we are fine.

>needless use of the word "digital" which is not appealing in any way in the title

Sometimes I want to go back.
To be fair, I remember hearing about Generations LONG before Sega made a official announcement. It wasn't 4chan though, someone posted about it (Game that is a collection of levels using the Sonic Unleashed engine for Sonic's anniversary) on another forum a good year or so before the actual announcement.
So hey, who knows. Granted, if the OP isn't bullshitting, then that means that Sega does not have too much confidence in Sonic Boom or is making something parallel to it so if it does fail, they have what OP was talking about.
Do characters from the other games appear?
That would make the game worth it alone
Man, I fucking love Eggmanland('s music), hope they remix it.

>>252779256
Sonic CD was just exploration and platforming. Only fast parts were stardust speedway. This does not make the game bad but I really wish it had these elements with out the gimmicky time travel. It really made me dislike the game.

>basically Sonic Generations 2 without the boost stuff
I'm not sure I'd want this. The option to boost was a fantastic way for particularly skilled players to test their abilities against the level design, and removing the boost mechanic might kill the momentum for speedrunning purposes.
>>252785752

Also I wouldn't be so harsh on Chaotix, it had a lot of potential, just executed badly, and it was pretty rushed upon.

>Sega will never do pinball momentum in 3D because it's too complicated physics wise without getting glitches and also it might be too hard to design levels around this.
>too hard to design levels
Yeah I know, its hard to do anything but cash in on nostalgia and make graphically improved versions of old games. God forbid Sonic team do what it takes to make the franchise a contender on the modern market. Just make rehashes and pay2win model games until it dies and then find another cash cow.

>>252786818
>It's extremely hard to make this system
>People complained about just about every other attempt at making Sonic go fast from Adventure up until now.
>Yeah, fuck SEGA for not trying!
Sheesh
>>252786898
I got claustrophobic just from watching that. When not boosting to win you can see how confined the stage is. Its literally a pathway no wider (at the max) 5 of sonics models. Fucking hell.
>>252787020
People complain about everything when it changes. What's your point?
Besides, go fast is not that same as the kind of physics that anons are talking about in the thread.
>>252787020
I may not be some tech savvy guy, but I don't think it would be EXTREMELY hard. Just complex enough. We're in 2014, we can bruteforce all physics algorithms. Classic Generations needed something as simple as a byte shift to resemble legacy gameplay.
so is there any proof at all or no
>>252787270
How about this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orT1_jSfOcQ
>>252787270
To be fair, most of the later stages were a bit more complex and better designed than Green Hill.
>>252787985
Also, that's a version of Sanic in a stage he wasn't designed for.
Honestly, I just want them to stamp out one system and perfect it so we can get SOME of the other guys back in?
I think the last game Knuckles was playable in was fucking 2006
>>252785867
Well, the problem wasn't the boost button itself, it was that a few of the earlier stages weren't designed around boosting as an OPTIONAL mechanic.
But of course in typical Sanic Team fashion, the only solution is to remove it entirely.
>Sonic Generations 2 without the boost stuff
>>252778315
This is just irrational. You cant enjoy Heroes and not enjoy the Adventure games. You cant enjoy Colors and not like Unleashed day levels or Generations.
>>252787549
I like how the basic platforming of the stages rapes mindless boost however the boost would probably be practical or most likely with extensive practice.
>>252787985
True I played generations. Its not bad but its why I felt like boost gameplay needs to go. Stages are just experiences now and aside from the few obvious special paths and minor deviations its the same.While with the adventure series a run can be very vanilla or completely broken.
>>252778684
I dont care for Sonic CD either. Too platformy. Sonic 2 and 3 & KNuckles had a flow to them. Sonic 1 did too somewhat. But Sonic CD has some of the most ugly level design in a 2D Sonic game.
>>252788665
>You cant enjoy Heroes and not enjoy the Adventure games.
I agree with this somewhat but the team mechanic defines heroes and really differentiates the two.
>You cant enjoy Colors and not like Unleashed day levels or Generations.
I don't agree. I would even say this is wrong. Liking colors would be more of a reason to hate the boost sonics. The game was more of a speedy 2d platformer with maximizing score and obtaining new paths with powerups. It had a high emphasis or platforming with really great stage design. Boost games was focused on boost which the stages were molded for. This was very noticeable in generations.
>>252788837
I love Sonic CD's level design. To each his own.
>>252785451
He was talking about Colors. Colors is not on PC.
>>252779684
>BlitzSonic and SonicGDK
And where are those now? Shitty engine tests like the majority of other Sonic fangames.
>>252776382
>Generations Colors Wii U port
This could potentially be amazing if they do it right. The world design in Colors is some of the best in Sonic's history, I'd love to see it prettied up and in HD.
This Digital 25 thing better also be on Wii U

That should kind of be expected; NiGHTS has had cameos in Sonic games for years. Pretty much all the Sonic Team games are bound to get some representation. Hopefully, anyways.

This is making me cautiously optimistic. PSU wasn't so popular but I have a lot of fun memories playing this game with my friends and was bummed when the servers went down. I'd be down to get on it again if this project is successful.
Anyone got a full sheet of those image macros from the game ranking pictures? You'd be helping me out.

Sega will recognize it in this setting then probably try to resell the phantasy star lare on by saying "REMEMBER THIS SERIES FROM THAT SONIA GAME!?!?" And it'll get as popular as mother and then all the hipsters will act like they know everything about the series even if they never even Played the master system or the Genesis games
There will be mother brain memes
>>252776382
How fucked up is SEGA beyond belief, really? I mean how they killed off their other IPs, forcing Sonic, making you guys appeal to the autists, not to mention SEGA's recent third party ventures becoming disasters.
What do some of your employees think of all of the fans taking Sonic fan fiction seriously, like original characters (do not steal), like Coldsteel and stuff?
Are any of your employees fur fags?

Oh, don't get me wrong, the story is all kinds of ass and I don't pay attention to it one bit. There's also those computer stages, Eggman's park, Sky Troops and some of the Ark stages if you want color. I found the Ark stages to be pretty fun, tooexcept FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM.
>>252798813
The litmus test from telling good Sonic to bad Sonic fan ratio would be SEGA making a game about SatAM, and observe how many people jump in and say it's awesome. That way we can cut off the root of all autism and just leave us with the remaining, most borderline autism. And actual Sonic fans.
>>252776382
Anyone can say stuff like this on the Internet.
For instance, I am Naoto Ohshima, and I hate what Sonic has become.
>>252799870
To be fair, there's no pride in being an 'actual' Sonic fan. Sega made sure of that.
>>252778169
I think you mean superior. I'm sick of you speed obsessed people. Speed wasn't even half of a classic mega drive game. It was like 1/6. The rest was fucking platforming you dumb fuck.
Platforming >>>>>>>>>> Speed

yeah, that can't be true. Like, at all. Also the last time this topic came around the OP denied that such a collection was being worked on.

You're completely talking out of your ass. Colors had at most a few filler missions, but they were still platforming action stages.
What about generations fucking minigames? Enjoyed bouncing notes back to vector you fucking retard?
Colors is the best modern game hands down. Generations is shit. Unleashed is more shit. Deal with it. You probably are just butt hurt it wasn't speedspeedspeedspeed

dude, the boost wasn't a fucking option. The game would suck without it. Its designed 100% for the boost. Otherwise you'd have to suffer running through long empty courses with nothing to do.
Fuck you and your "it was built for speedrunnars." It wasn't. It's a core gameplay mechanic of that game and its achilles heel. Out with it I say. Colors did it right by having it be extremely limited. The result: the level design didn't use it like a fucking crutch.
Is there a Bayonetta world?
Sega owns Bayonetta after all
After the poor sales of Sonic Generations, if Sega were to release another Sonic game for a non-Nintendo system ever again, they deserve to be drug out into a crowded street and flogged in public.
>>252801229
How can you even think Generations had good level design? It was nonsense. Boost hallways and a few homing attack strings here and there is NOT good level design.
Colors had the drill wisp which opened up levels to explore. There were entire stretches of level underground in some levels filled with goodies and such. That is a fucking revelation for the franchise.
What the fuck did generations innovate or change? For all intents and purposes gens still has the same shitty fucking design we've been getting since SA1/2. Homing attack your way over some bottomless pits! No fucking thanks.
Enjoy fixating on the cheap looking block platforming in Colors (yes, there was some) as opposed to all the other amazing things it accomplished.
>>252776382

generations was pretty mediocre. For some reason it gets a free pass for being in HD and having competent gameplay mechanics. Its not a fun game out of context on its own. Colors is much better.
