Without the "but no that was shit" memes? Sonic Generations. It wasn't amazing, and the final boss was a disappointment, but the game was solid and everything else more than made up for that shitty boss.

Colors was decent, but Generations has been the closest thing to a real Sonic 4. The Modern stuff may not be everyone's choice with the boosting and all, but those Classic stages were done exceedingly well.

Colors was good because it actually had platforming segments. It wasn't amazing by any means but it definitely is a game worth playing.

Generations is a fucking clusterfuck. Some levels were fine, but most were literally boost to win. And it's way too short even with all the shitty side missions they forced at you.

>>339615013
No, this line has been spouted since shortly after the reviews came out, and it's a meme because the games still play like boosting, on-actual-rails, Rings magnetize to you, jump physics are wonky as fuck garbage.

The Hedgehog Engine was a mistake.
>>
>>339614975
It's not just that. The level design leaves a lot to be desired, it's very short for a modern Sonic game, the soundtrack is lackluster, and the acceleration for Modern Sonic is cranked much too high.

This isn't everything because I haven't played it in years to remember, but if you want me to replay to pick out other flaws I can. I have the time.
>>
DESU, I just wish they'd completely divide the series in two rather than trying to appeal to all fans with one game.
Make a classic Sonic game that actually plays/feels like a Genesis Sonic game rather than just having superficial visual similarities.
And make a big budget 3D Sonic game that only has 3D levels.
>>
>>339615350
>The level design leaves a lot to be desired

you have to elaborate on this for the point to be valid

Generations was full of branching paths and shortcuts that required precision timing, punishing you with death if you were even a frame or a slight angle off. When it comes down to getting the best times, it requires just as much if not more precision and accuracy than the other games

I know it's just my autism flaring but all of SEGA's Green Hill Zone merchandise and advertising looks really fucking awful. Where did they get that checkerboard floor from? It's not from the original game, the shadow between it and the grass is all wrong. Why does it have the hideous garish rings from Chaotix? And why do they use the Quartz Quadrant Zone mountains from Sonic CD instead of just using Green Hills actual background? Did ANY of Sonic's marketing deparment outside of twitter meme guy actually play the classic games?
>>

"Mocking"
>>
>>339615631
I don't mean the gameplay aspect of the level design. I didn't like the game enough to bother with trying to get better times once I was done. Once I got all the red rings, I stopped playing.

Everything past the Genesis stages is basically just how they were in their original games, just built to accommodate the new playground. This can be good for some, but I'm a big fan of what they did to stages like Green Hill and Chemical Plant, where you recognize the original stage, but it feels brand new. The later stages lacked that.

At that point you might as well just make it two games, one on the Retro Engine and one on the Hedgehog Engine.

I can't see why this wouldn't be their end-game, it literally would be the best business decision they could ever make for Sonic. Make one branch of games for the Adventure/Unleashed/Generations audience, and one branch of games for 2D classic/Advance audience. It writes itself, and the fact that SEGA can't see that is fucking baffling from where I'm standing
>>
I just want another Storybook game but that's never happening
>>
>>339616407

Trying to appeal to everyone with a single game results in everyone being dissatisfied. Fans of the Genesis games don't want to play boostshit, and fans of the boost games don't want to play Genesis-shit. Why can't Sega separate 2D and 3D Sonic like Nintendo does with Mario?

Both a 2D and a 3D title being released would make the most sense. The 3D one being Adventure 3 is probably a no-brainer at this point, Sonic Team have tried a lot of weird gimmicky shit with the series and it's had mixed results at best. Playing the fan pandering card is probably the wisest move at this point.

For a potential 2D one, just keep it the fuck away from Dimps, for the love of christ, unless it's Rush 3 or something.

Best case scenario is that the 2D one is a brand new game by the Sonic Retro guys, but I won't raise my hopes up because nowadays I know better.

Let's be honest, Sonic Boom's biggest crime wasn't bad gameplay or awful glitches, it was having the worst original soundtrack of any Sonic game ever.

Not counting Sonic Chronicles of course, none of the shitty midi rips in that game were even remotely original.

Not really sure how that happened, either. Wasn't Boom composed by Richard Jacques of Sonic R and Saturn 3D Blast fame (not to mention contributions to MSR, Outrun 2006, Sonic Generations etc)? What happened to him, did he just get bland and boring? It didn't feel like it was done by the same composer at all

>>339629956
In Colors' defense, I'd rather have three average boss battles repeated once over, than play through all of Generations' bosses again. I would trade anything for them to just go back and completely redo the Giant Eggman Robot, the Shadow battle and most of all the FUCKING TIME EATER. That thing is the most offensively shit boss in Sonic history - yes, worse than Silver's chain-grabs in 06 - and they didn't even give it an epic final boss music like literally every Sonic game prior had.

So yeah. Colors is shit I'll give you that, but boss-wise I would happily fight a hundred of those ferris wheels and manage to squeeze more fun out of it than one run of the putrid time eater

It's a lose-lose situation there then, I own the 3DS version too, it has better bosses but dumb main levels. Green Hill, Mushroom Hill and Casino Night classic are just acts ripped straight from the original games (so what even is the point?), and the modern Sonic parts were pretty shitty and for the first time ever actually felt like "hold right/boost to win".

You're not wrong, the Shadow fight wasn't the best boss in that game but it was close. All other remake fights in the game were either barely different from the original game, or so different that it could barely be called a remake of the original fight. The Shadow fight was the only one I felt had the correct balance between the two.

It also helped that that fight had the best... presentation, for lack of a better word. Switching to All Hail Shadow or Live and Learn depending on who is winning? Little extra details like those really add to that fight, in a way that wasn't done for any of the other bosses in Generations.

I'd be happy just having actual pinball-physics, pathways and variation on environmental manipulation again, but in a 3D environment so you can actually fully see where you're going. I'd also prefer Boost be an occasional power-up like the shields, shoes and etc, and Homing-attacks be an option with drawbacks instead of the main solution for enemies.

Otherwise modern character designs are fine (although Shadow and Rouge still turn me off) and recent artstyles have done a nice job supplying eye-candy whilst still keeping "nature vs industrialization" at least part of the aesthetic.

I wouldn't mind small cameos for the main Archie FF's either.

im curious. how long of any you people in the fucking fanbase are gonna drag this whole thing with your preferences with this series until you decide to leave the series for good? you people ether exclaim the last good game in this warzone of an series was 20 years ago yet you follow the series today to make people feel miserable while the other half claims the last good one was one that had sonic use a weapon saying the writing was all that mattered in a series where the writing was always awful(ill admit though the writing since colors made me puke) can any of you actually be reasoned with on a intellectual level that has nothing to do with fucking sonic? if you can't then i fell sorry for everyone of you.

No, it didn't.
Spindash is overpowered and could be spammed like in Sonic Adventure.

>>
>>339637031
But Black Knight was pretty good. Sonic's characterization was at its peak, much akin to how Shadow peaked in 06. The music was phenomenal, and I'd say that it tied with Shadow and SA2 for best OST in a Sonic game. The gameplay was slightly sub-par; there was a lot of missed potential. The story was pretty good and there was plenty to do post-game. That's more than I can say for most games.

In that you couldn't research reviews, watch videos, or do other things to find out about a game, you were forced to rely on game reviews solely, which creates a high level of profitable power.

If you don't think Game Informer were taking money under the table for favor in their reviews, you're foolish.

On average, both Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles both got review scores of 90 or over, and that's when treated as separate games instead of combined.

However, in the eyes of the games journalists, Sonic CD actually takes the cake as best Sonic ever. I wouldn't agree, but that's how the numbers go

Sonic games need multiple composers working together. Lost World's sucked ass because Ohtani did the whole thing with little help.

The SEGA composers just don't have what it takes anymore to carry an entire soundtrack by themselves.
>>
>>339639737
The more interesting question would be

We've had guest vocalists and such before, what with Crush 40, Zebrahead, the guy from Bowling For Soup, Cash Cash among others. If you guys could choose any guest band/artist/vocalist to join the Sonic franchise for one game, who would it be? No repeats of people who have already featured in a Sonic game before
>>
>>339640209
I feel like The Offspring would fit the Sonic vibe well, but I'd love to hear Foo Fighters or Infected Mushroom.
>>
>>339640013
I like and can memorize SA2's soundtrack, but let's be honest - when it's not all YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT KNUCKLES and sexophones, it's either some variant of rock, or industrial Shadow. The game's soundtrack is oversaturated with the electric guitar, and it causes some of the music to blend together at times.

Adventure 1 and Unleashed, even '06's soundtrack are better than SA2's at this point for me because they have a lot more variety and style to them than just Jun Senoue rubbing his tiny iron cock on a guitar.
>>
>>339640196
