>it will be "console only"
>PC version will come out, at the very soonest, at 2021
>this game will come to consoles in 2016, and Sega's 2016 PC release will be the 10 year anniversary, 'definitive edition' of Sonic '06

Calling it now.

So another game without boost. And after they perfected it with Generations.

>>316602660

Sonic 5 would have to include modern Sonic and his homing attack unless they make a point to retcon Sonic 4.

Or they could do Sonic & Knuckles 2 to get around it.

Do they mean the games being 2D, or having the same, or similar, momentum based gameplay from the Genesis games?

The full quote:

>“Sega has publically apologised to the fans as the quality of console games in the Sonic franchise hasn’t been acceptable over recent years. It’s been tough translating that iconic side scrolling 2D experience from the 90s into 3D but Sonic is still huge for us so the new games will be more inspired by how it played in its heyday.”

Fucking Sega. A good 3D Sonic isn't rocket science. Give him movement speed similar to the Genesis games, have the triggers make him curl into ball form and have it control similar to the ball form in the Metroid Prime games. Make the levels large with plenty of slopes and shortcuts that allow good players to build momentum and do speed runs. Have like 10 levels, each with one main mission and a couple of side missions you can come back and do later that explore different parts of the level. Have the emeralds well hidden in some of the levels and once you get them all you get Super Sonic. Classic style Super Sonic, not the boss-only shit they've been using since Adventure 1.

There you go you have a good 3D Sonic game.

I finished the game a while ago, this is how long it took me to get to and beat the final boss. It's for the most part platforming, there's no boost2win, the controls are too clunky for me, and I hate the bosses. The port isn't really anything to talk about either, I would hesitate to recommend it.

This will never happen. Sega has been trying to play it very safe with Sonic during the past few years and undoing all the shitty things the mid 2000's games did. Resurrecting the game that nearly killed the franchise would be an extremely dumb move and Sega knows that.

They'll likely just continue to piggyback off Colors and Generations since they were the most successful games they've made since then while milking the dry nostalgia cow with overused Genesis stuff.

>>316618924
The entire hub world in 06 is a flaw. The level design is bad. Playing as Silver and Shadow is worse than playing as Sonic. The way the game controls during Sonic's mach speed or whatever sections is fundamentally broken. Bugs are bugs, but the physics are likely the way they are largely by design, and they aren't great. You would have to restructure the entire game progression, change everything about how the characters control, and make it run better to get a game that still has bad level design, two unwanted playable characters, amd absolutely embarassing cutscenes. It would be ugly, too. Everything about Sonic 06 is visually bad. The music was never remarkable either, it just stood out in comparison to the rest of the game

>>316619059
Heroes isn't even arguable. The Adventure games you can give kind of a pass because of how old they are, but they aren't good. Neither Adventure game holds up even one tenth as well as Mario 64, or even Sunshine. That's a pretty harsh standard, but coming right out of the 90s, it's kind of a fair comparison to make, and it isn't favourable for Sonic. Everyone knew. Look at the scores the Adventure games got to begin with (pretty good, but not excellent), and then how harshly they were received just a little later after they were ported to the Gamecube. Heroes was even worse, and Shadow was worse than that.

The only games Sonic had coming out that were any good at all for nearly a 10 year stretch were on handhelds. 06 only sealed the deal and put Sonic in a place where he'd need to crawl out of the pit the 2000s games put him in and stay consistently good for YEARS to retain any good will. And they blew that with Sonic Boom.

The Sonic Adventure games weren't significantly worse than Sunshine though. If they had the polish Sunshine has they'd be better. They aren't as good as Mario 64 but neither are most of Mario's games. Of the 3D ones only Galaxy can compete. So yeah that's a ridiculously harsh standard.

The most polished 3D Sonic game was colors and it wasn't entirely 3D...

Maybe Sega will remember that PLATFORMING was the focus of the old sonic games, not speed. Speed was a fun occasional treat, that's what made it special.

Super Mario 3D World is better than Sunshine no matter how much people try to pretend it isn't, so yeah.

So...what happened? We had a brief renaissance, both Colors and Generation were not only great Sonic titles, but they were polished and well made at that. I felt like Sonic was back on track

Then we got fucking Lost World and Boom. Did something change? Or were Colors and Generation coincidental flukes?
>>
the sonic cycle lives on. Sonic Team must be real close with Nintendo the Zelda team these days, both franchises keep claiming that they're going back to their roots and then the game is shit and nothing like the clasic games

I didn't play that yet sadly. If it's truly better than 1 though I need to get on it.

>>316623289
Colors or Generations probably, yeah. 3D Sonic games gave never been very polished for whatever reason. But what I meant was that that typical Nintendo polish is the only thing Sunshine has over the Adventure games. Had Sega tightened up the controls and got rid of the glitches the Adventure games would be better in my opinion.

>>316623392
I agree completely. I don't think it's quite as good as 64 but 3D World is fantastic.

I give up on Sonic the Hedgehog, no matter what rosey promises SEGA hands us I know it will always end in disappointment. The series hasn't had a truly good game in years. Yes, Colors and Generations were fun but they could have been way better. Sonic deserves better.

I do not trust that they will be able to recapture or capitalize on the Genesis/hey day gameplay they claim they're going to focus on, because it's become abundantly clear that when SEGA realizes they've fucked up, they "go back to roots" and then reinvent the wheel all over again with some asinine gameplay that has fuck all to do with why people love Sonic games.

Sonic is a relic of 90's gaming and the only thing keeping the brand alive is nostalgia and brain washed fans.

this. The only way Sonic gets a proper game that's actually good is if Sega sells Sonic's rights to Nintendo and have them produce a Sonic title.

Thank God Based Miyamoto put a stop to that shit

The Adventure games were bogged down by the other characters and the minigames in the main story. As interesting as the Knuckles levels were they weren't exactly polished same goes for the Eggman/Tails and Rouge Stages and the Kart racing.

Colors was great but the 2D platforming segments really broke up the FAST that people loved about Unleashed. There were quite a few wisps that broke up the speed too.

Generation modern segments had the same issues as Colors. The classic segments were a great but lacking in the finesse in physics they had in the genesis days.

Secret Rings started off extremely slowly for a large chunk of the game which on top of that the auto running doesn't give the player the control they had in previous games.

Heroes, control wise, was the worst parts of the Sonic and Shadow stages in Adventure. In fact they somehow made the grinding worse than it was previously.
Also it was entirely possible to fling yourself off of the edge in stages like metropolis because of how momentum worked.

I'd go on about Lost World but we always hear about it.

Fucking this, nintendo really needs to pull off this "health" bullshit

This is one of the reason why they thought level 25 cap in Splatoon was "hard to reach" when the nearly all players reached lv 25 in just under 2-5 hours and yet they expected players to take breaks every once in a while.

Nintendo really needs to see the reality, not "oh haha videogames are for children only" shit. For the recent years they already shifted their focus from everyone to just only children.

pokemon has depth. Like I'm not talking about the autistic people that play it competitivly.
But I'm talking about how the formula itself is pretty complex, and it gets complexer as it goes. Sure you can beat it easily. But mashing A isn't the most effective way of ding so and there's a lot of ways to play.
I can understand adults playing pokemon, especially since mods exist that enhance the AI and make it more tactical.

It's basically accomplishes the same thing, except it's slower and they change the visual effect to a spindash animation. Suddenly it's okay now.

The reason fans want 2d games is because the 3d games have repeatedly been utter shit, and at least Sonic played well in 2d.
The actual reason they made 2d games was nostalgia pandering, they had no intention of delivering good Sonic games even in 2d, and they didn't.
Thus, having made shit 2d games that were scorned by fans because they were shit, they assume fans just don't want 2d games.

Lost World flopped and has had a mixed reception for a reason. The game is flawed and in no way took Sonic in the right direction. If anything, they abandoned the Unleashed formula, a formula that people have been warming up to, for absolutely no reason. They could have continued to improve that, but Sonic Team decided to be a bunch of fucking morons and change the formula for the worst once again.
>>
>>316629043
They did have intention of delivering good sonic games in both 2D and 3D
They just suck at making games

The last good game(and also last good 2D game) was Advance 1 and that was made by a lot of old Sonic Team Staff(including Naka) co-operating with Dimps(as soon as Dimps went solo we got Advance 2 which sucked)
