I feel like Sonic Generations didn't capture him right. They portrayed him as a cute, pudgy character when his actual sprite from the time was fairly lean and mature-ish.

Has anyone ever considered the possibility that Valve playtesters, people with ridiculous opinions and motives in focus groups, and poll-survey answerers are actually the same fucking morons and have no bearing on the rest of humanity?
I mean surely we can hold a focus group on that.
If we don't see something playable by E3 I think we can safely write off a 2016 release.
It would suck to not get a Sonic game in time for his 25th anniversary but I think we would all value a properly polished game over something shat out to meet a deadline. Sonic Team has pulled that move one too many times over the years.
>>338323259
Well, Sonic is kinda shit compared to his friend's all unique abilities.

>>338324007
Hey man, I'm just sayin:
He can't fly
He ain't got super strength
He can't Glide
He can't control fire
He can't chaos controlI mean he technically can but chooses not to, if SA2 is still canon
He can't use psychokinesis
He can't do all those cool things the others can.ESP is the coolest but its wasted on Silver
And just about everyone in the seriescan run around or at his level (I guess just Blaze and Shadow) while also having their own cool unique abilities.

>>338323875
Sorta reminds me of Mario. All the other characters have their own unique quirks and personalities, and then there's Mario, whose defining trait is that he's Mario. Anything he can do, others can do better. People don't HATE him, but it's rare to find somebody who actually has him as their favorite character.
>>338322491
Not until it gets slopes.
I do love SRB2 though, despite how fucked the doom engine looks with freelook enabled.
>>338328736
>Luigi is straight up physically superior in every way
>Mario is still the hero
for what reason
>>338328904
It'll get slopes in the next decade or two.
>>338328904
>using a mouse in SRB2 at all
Why the hell would you do that? The shootan gamemodes aren't even that fun and using the arrow keys + strafing is the best way to swooce around, specially in the air
>>338328736
And likely finding someone who does have Mario as his favorite character is likely the most boring, vanillla person in existence.
Could we apply the same Sonic? Probably.
>>338324732
Why would SA2 no longer be canon?
Sonic is superior to Tails and Knuckles
He jumps high and he can defend himself, Knuckles jumps low and Tails is weak as fuck
>>338329320
>tfw your favorite is Sonic
>tfw your favorite is Goku
>>338329320
Nah, Sonic has the instashield, homing attack and boost. Really Shadow is the closest character to Sonic Shadow has lots more stuff to differentiate them with.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE HEDGEHOG???
So I never knew until yesterday how much I want Tails to be female. It's so perfect I can't believe I never saw it before.
>>338330119
>>338323259
That's why they are trying so much shit with that character. Were Hedgehog, sword etc in recent years.
>>338330119
I remember hearing that Tails was originally supposed to be a female, but I'm not sure if it's true. Sonic was going to have a female friend/love interest in Sonic 1 though.
>>338322243
>Sonic's arms

>>338330016
Blaze also has her own Boost and she's like her own universe's Sonic.Well more like an amalgation of Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow andBig.

>>338330487
That's what I meant. The next version won't be out for another decade.
>>338323259
This confuses me, I cant remember anybody saying this about Aonic when I was a kid. Shit, I disliked Sonic's character when I was a kid, but it was for the exact opposite reason.
I felt that Sonic always won, and without difficulty. I felt that he kicked too much ass and he made every other character useless in the process.
>>338323259

>>338323259
Sonic was never about being fast though, it was about being cool and having an attitude. Fast is a meme which was only hinted at and slowly took form during the last decade.
>>338331058
Sonic was always about being fast, and cool.
The whole never being about fast thing is more about the gameplay of the classic games as opposed to the character himself.
>>338322243
>classic sonic having buckles on his shoes and not having his arms bent and unmoving at chest level

>>338322447
I think Sonic Boom would have worked well as a Rayman origins/legends styled goofy 2d coop game, hell the original premis of boom wasn't even terrible, a lot of the blame seems to be a mix of poor management and cry engine being a bitch on consoles.
>>338331173
Yes, that was my point. That Sonic burger joint wasn't fast, Sonic 3D wasn't fast, Spinball wasn't fast, but it was still Sonic.
>>338324974
Tyson is cool and I agree with him but the more I accept and live with all the flaws the less I realize the actual value sonic has left. At this point there are definitively way, way more flaws and shitty games than anything good. Slowly, it'll all whither away down to "I liked Sonic 2 I guess." And I used to be a rabid Sega fan.
Luckily, I've grown to appreciate Sega's non-Sonic shit more and more as I got older and man, there is a lot to like besides fucking Sonic garbage.
>>338324732
Sonic's unique ones tend to get cannibalized by everyone else when they are playable. Usually he's the fastest one that utilizes the spindash as a ball of destruction the most.
He could use some new things. Parkour and free movement is technically Sonic exclusive now.
The only good sonic games are sonic 2, half of sonic 3, 1/4 of sonic CD, sonic adventure 2, sonic heroes, and sonic unleashed. Everything else sucks

>>338324732
>just about everyone in the seriescan run around or at his level
No they can't. Sonic and Knuckles maintaining speed in the early games, was a gameplay consideration. But ever since Heroes, all the other characters had their speed nerfed.
Sonic can also light speed dash, and boost now.
WHY ARE SONIC FANS SUCH SHIT?
I've never played a single Sonic game until I started collecting retro Sega stuff not too long ago. That was the first time I played Sonic 1&2 and I thought they were really fun.
I feel really sorry for Sonic now; everyone keeps parroting youtube opinions that "he was always bad". I need to get around to playing his better modern stuff.
Quick poll, should I bother with Unleashed?
>>338332314
Sonic is the Diddy, he can't fly or anything like that but he's fast and thus the most fun character to play.
>>338332531
Unleashed is worth the go. The werehog levels aren't completely unbearable as some people make it sound. They're just completely unremarkable.
>>338332531
I would recommend it. keynote however, the werehog isn't exactly "shit" it's just the level design for the most part is shit and everyone pretty much ended up hating the werehog because of it.
>>338323339
Fucking 3 ruined him. The glove change made him look smaller and pudgier than past sprites did. This wasn't helped by them doubling down on specular highlights and making his shoes look like rounded rubber nubs.
>>338329425
Because the moon isn't exploded in recent games.
>>338332531
Generations is much better but unleashed is ok.
If you're going out of your way to collect sega stuff and you plan on getting Sonic Adventure, get Sonic Adventure international for the Dreamcast. Other versions are shittier.
Also make sure you play S3&K at some point.
>>338332817
Actually one of the devs touched on this and said something like "the moon just rotated" so you can't see the blown up part or some shit like that.
>>338323339
Not sure what it is about 3 that I dislike so much compared to 1 and 2. Maybe its the weird 3D-ish shading they were going for and the bigger hands/rounder shoes
>>338323339
>>338332719
You guys are weird. 3's sprite is a great improvement over the first 2.
>>338332531
Unleashed is the best game in the series so definnitely yes. Make sure its the 360/PS3 version. 360 version is better but both will suffice. Just stay away from the PS2/Wii version because its one of the worst games in the series
Is ittime for school?
>>338332817
The moon wasn't exploded in Heroes or ShTH either, even though SA2's events are explicitly mentioned in these games.
>>338331058
umm no? how old are you 12? they always advertised sonic as fast. they campaigned about how mario was just some dumb slow plumber and how sonic was fast and cool. Could you obviously be more of an under aged faggot?
>>338333923
Maybe Sonic and his homies used the Chaos Emerald to wish the Moon back to normal.
>>338333481
I played the day time levels on the Generations. Probably not worth playing the full game right?
>>338334332
The full game deals with them much better because you unlock them, see the hubs, interact with the town, the story of putting it back together in a race for the emeralds. For 5 or 10$ or whatever its worth now, unleashed is definitely worth playing. And it has a bunch of great DLC for both sonics, believe it or not
>>338323339
>far right

This fucking guy. Also, I'm still not sure if he's wearing a hat or put an emblem on his hair. Honestly, it could go either way or be a combo of both, given what a nutcase this guy is.
>>338333884
Has anyone from the main games fought him hand-to-hand yet in the comic?
As in Sonic, Tails, or hell, even someone like Omega.

>>338330487

god, it feels so fucking wrong that SRB2 has been in development for so long
>tfw the last time I downloaded SRB2 was in fucking 2005
>>338323259
This kills me.
Sonic's speed was the coolest thing. Sure, it seemed like his friends were just as good if not better (this is probably taken to an extreme in the Advance games, where everyone but Amy was just as fast and could do nearly everything he could), but the fact that Sonic didn't need all that shit seemed cool as fuck. Everyone else had it ez-mode while Sonic was just this hardcore motherfucker.
also, once I got good at using the insta-shield in Sonic 3, I pretty much stopped being wanting to play as anyone else, it's so fucking goodSonic 3 Complete makes it even more broken, since instead of letting you pass through bullets with mild effort (risking a hit when the i-frames go away), they bounce off completely since it now uses some of the code that the actual Sonic 3 shields did
>>338332719
The 3&K sprite made sense in '94 with the whole "oh shit gotta make it look like it's 3D rendered" craze.
Admittedly, it dates the game (because that look really only was impressive for technical, rather than aesthetic reasons), but I still like it.
>>338332991

>>338322447
Because Rayman actually HAD good 3D gamesand fuck you WERE'S MY RAYMAN 4.
>>338324974
Yes, let's just accept Sonic no matter how shitty it is. That's totally not what Sega is hoping for, so they can get away with making absolute garbage that people still swallow anyway, because you're not a true fan if you criticize a series for getting worse.

Which do you prefer, having shit taste or baiting?
>>338337806
God that looks awful. It just copies and pastes the basics of GFZ and adds muh grafix without giving two shits about what makes srb2 good
I love SRB2 for its controls and physics myself. Crawla booping is hella fun
>>338322491
I wanted to enjoy it but I started getting dizzy. Once I hit the water stage the underwater effects just fucked my eyes up and I had to stop.
>>338338050
Fucking what? It's literally SRB2 but improved in some ways. The fuck are you complaining about?
>>338336736
Don't look shad. Anon is watching us
>>338338145
SRB2 handles perfectly for me. Strafing, jumping, mid-air momentum, using enemies as makeshift springs for extra gofast, neat level design...
That webm is just gfz slapped onto the blitz sonic engine or whatever it's called with its floaty ass controls and everything looking like plastic, adding random ass slopes for the sake of "LOOK WHAT WE CAN CREATE YOU GUYS"
But that's just my autism spilling and I'm sure people will like whatever that is you posted. I grew up on SRB2 and leaving its tight ass controls will be pretty hard when and if SRB3 comes out
>>338338145
I'm not that anon, but it really looks poor at the moment. The camera superficially resembles the SRB2 one, the animations aren't well done, and the way Sonic moves up the slopes looks bad -- it gets a point for actually carrying Sonic with proper momentum into the air, resembling classic style physics, but pretty much everything looks and moves like it's subtly off.
sure, it's blatantly unfinished, but it also looks like there's a damn lot of work to be done
>>338338734
>That webm is just gfz slapped onto the blitz sonic engine or whatever it's called
No, it's a new engine created by the same people. That webm is in fact showing a very early wip of SRB3. There's nothing about that webm that indicates the mechanics will be any worse or even different than what we have, if anything polished.
I have a hard time believing the same people will fuck it up when all they've done is made a great game and improve on their work for years.
>everything looking like plastic
I don't know if you've seen the graphics for SRB2 lately but they're pretty much fucking MS Paint drawings. Not bad but acting like these graphics are a downgrade is retarded.
>adding random ass slopes for the sake of "LOOK WHAT WE CAN CREATE YOU GUYS"
Or do you think it's because Sonic gameplay is based on fucking slopes? How fucking stupid are you?
>>338337707
The past flaws are there, and acknowledging they exist is a better step to getting Sega to admit they exist. Burying your head in the sand and pretending Sonic is and always has been the greatest isn't doing anyone any favors.
>>338337707
I don't buy Sonic games unless I like them. I only bought Sonic Colors and Sonic Generation since I got burned by Sonic Heroes over a decade ago.
>>338338050
Holy fuck this has mad potential. SRB2 was so ugly but the concept kept me playing for a long time. Hope to god this makes it out someday.
>>338339464
I'll give you a (you) and stop posting. Not everyone is okay with new directions buddy, accept that
>>338337806
The fact that you can look upward without getting dizzy is good enough for me desu.
Although there is too much of a gap in quality between Sonic's model and the rest of the environment. Since it'll probably take a shitload of time trying to make the environment look better, maybe they should create Sega Saturn-quality playermodels. Especially since the one in the video looks like its ripped from a game and that can lead to a C&D.
>>338340002
>slopes are a new direction for Sonic
>they apparently don't belong in a Sonic game
>they put in slopes for no reason

>>338340048
Sega doesn't give a fuck (at least, not about Sonic, the SOR remake project getting its shit kicked in was pretty weird considering how Sega has ignored all the shit Sonic fans do).
never forget that there are full, commented disassemblies of the Genesis games avalilable RIGHT NOW that produce a 1:1 bit perfect rom if you ran the provided assembler
>>338341660
That's true. Now that I think about it Sonic World and other fan engines use ripped models and nothing has happened to them yet.
I'm just worried because games like Super Mario 64 HD got a C&D for using ripped models iirc.
you guys are retarded about CDs. I used to play this sonic fan game on school computers that used advance 2 sonic and ice paradise and its still probably up
>>338342069
fucking everyone played it
it was oddly decent, particularly since the stages weren't too much worse than actual Advance 2 ones
which is probably only very faint praise
>>338341993
Nintendo's traditionally taken a much harder stance.
>>338342302

>>338342405
Advance 2's stage design has a lot of flow (a lot of this is entirely due to the fact that nearly every stage is downhill from start to finish), but it throws you at things without any regard for the fact that you're likely not in a ball. I'm iffy on it. Like Rush, it's a blast to speedrun, but I also think Rush has some really fucking stupid layouts.
>>338342479
it is certainly better than Advance 3's, which doesn't really flow and it's got more "let's fling the player over bottomless pits" shit than Advance 2 (which was a common complaint for Adv2, even if it's concentrated entirely in the last three levels and not really much of a problem), and the saving grace of Advance 3 probably is just how much fun using the partner actions is to ignore gigantic sections of level
Advance 3's stage design is a fucking chore.
at least it looks and sounds great
