I wish white people would fuck off and give this entire franchise back to the Japs.

The modern state of this franchise is like picking up and dead animal.... taking it home.... parading around with it..... putting makeup and lipstick on it.... having a tea party with it.... playing hide and go seek with it... sleeping with it.... playing make believe with it.... etc. Just bury the god damn thing and be done with it.

This is like the episode of the Simpsons where Homer wouldn't just throw the damn rotting sandwich in the trash and keeping it there.

Just give this shit back to the Japs or be done with no. No more of the wacky, zany and whimsicle bullshit. No more of these shit voice actors and trailer commentators. No more of this complelty unfunny "humor" and shitty "wisecracks". Just fuck off already.

It looks like they're trying this time, so the kids'll obviously enjoy this one, maybe. That's all that matters.

Someone tell me why this game looks bad. The trailer looks like a huge improvement over Rise of Lyric and seems to be going back to mostly traditional 2D gameplay.

Is it just because of the stigma concerning the "Sonic Boom" franchise? Motherfuckers need to have a more open mind.
>>
Serious question:

Was there ever actually a GOOD Sonic game?

That's coming from someone whose first game ever was Sonic 2 on Game Gear and who grew up on the genesis titles. I have a nostalgia-driven love for Sonic, 2, 3&K, even Spinball and 3D blast.

I've played most of the games in the franchise and I think the only ones I really LOVED were Adventure 2 (mostly because the grinding gimmick was so satisfying) and SART.

I played Generations and like most I thought it was Sonic at its very best, and still I didn't even bother finishing it.

Everyone hates on shit like Boom or Lost World or Unleashed for taking the series in bizarre directions instead of going "back to the roots", but I'm concerned that the franchise doesn't really have any worthwhile roots to return TO.

I played Sonic 1, 2 and 3&K for the first time in 2004 via Sonic Mega Collection because I never owned a Genesis. My enjoyment of those games have nothing to do with nostalgia at all, they're legitimately good momentum-based platformers.

What game was actually good?

Like, if Nintendo's newest Mario game played exactly like 3&K, would anyone like it? Is the gameplay in any of the games actually engaging?

Every Sonic game has been filled to the brim with automatic-go-fast loop de loop zipper bullshit segments interspersed with pretty mediocre platforming action. When it came out it was basically a tech demo for the Mega Drive's speed relative to the SNES.

I loved 1, 2, and 3&K when I was young, but they don't stand up as modern games. If they just took the 3&K engine port did a bunch of new levels for that, it wouldn't be a good game at the end of the day.
>>

Sonic 4 is to the classics what 06 is to the Adventure games. Most Sonic fan games are based on the classic Sonic format with gameplay that's actually faithful to those games and they usually get a lot of praise.

Well yeah, and that's my point. Mario was never 3D until he was, he never moved in bending gravity until he did... Those games broke Mario formula but they were still good, so it was okay.

All Sonic has right now is nostalgia power; take the hedgehog out of the game and what would remain would be something nobody actually had fun playing.

The fact that Sonic's gameplay would ruin any other franchise it touched speaks volumes about the quality of said gameplay IMO

Oh, surely, and it was upfront about being a nostalgia cash-in and I have no problem with that.

What I'm saying is, if the game had been all-new levels instead of remixes of series favorites, it would have gone over like a lead blimp.

People say they want a return to the gameplay of the old games, but all they really want IS the old games. The gameplay isn't what matters, it's the childhood memories.

I dunno, I would say Mario Kart is to Forza as Smash is to Street Fighter.

The former games, in both cases, dilute the "purity" of their game mechanics with other stuff; Smash with all the items and platforming elements, Mario Kart with the weapons and boost zippers and whatnot.

Not that Smash or Mario Kart are bad games, of course, just that I can totally accept the argument that Smash isn't a "real" fighting game, even though it's a game about fighting, because of all the other stuff.

If you prefer I could use the analogy "Smash is to Street Fighter as Splatoon is to Quake", same point

I can see a Forza/Mario Kart analogy better than I can a Smash to Street fighter.

Forza and Mario kart have the same gameplay (more or less) but with added shit.

Well, I'm still sure that even an all new game with the classic gameplay would be well-received, but it's pretty unlikely since the guys who ported the Genesis games to mobile aren't allowed to make new games with their engine for some reason.

Reminder that Sega of America wanted to work with Sony on a brand new console. Sega of Japan shot that down. That console was the PS1.

Reminder that Sega of America tried to steer SEGA away from the Saturn and offered them a an alternative chipset. SoJ turned them away and that same chipset was used to make the Nintendo 64.

That's still retarded. What are you celebrating exactly? The series aged 5 years, and you're willing to go another dick-sucking round? Give it some time. Wait for the series to get some more better games under it's belt. I don't understand why people are so caught up on this arbitrary date.

You're thinking of a different guy, I think

>>340464816
People would hate it for not being about GOTTAGOFAST, even though N++ is a killer momentum-management game

That really hits at the heart of what makes classic Sonic not good as a modern platformer; modern platformers have done away with the idea of "lives". Which I think is crucial.

The way challenges are structured in a modern fast platformer is that they're dense, and fast, and technically challenging, and you have multiple maneuvers that enable you to interact with and get around the elements of the challenge. You are expected to die, a whole hell of a lot, and learn as you do so.

Sonic is a completely different thing. You're forgiven for getting hit, often multiple times with ring-recollecting, without restarting the challenge. And if you fuck up so hard that you die, you're SOL, since you only have very few lives.

It's stuck on this Mario format where you're supposed to be CAREFUL, but careful and fast are contradictory concepts. You can't blast full-speed-ahead in a game where 6 mistakes is a game over.

If I were doing a modern 2D sonic game, Sonic would ALWAYS be running at top speed, all you could do is press left/right to change direction, down to do a buzz-saw (which would temporarily prevent you from jumping, but would kill enemies), and jump. Running up walls/slopes would slow you down, running down them would speed you up.

"Levels" would be segmented into SMB/N++ style micro-challenges where you ran loops and such while making jumps and dodging obstacles without slowing down, with infinite retries on each challenge. Maybe in-between, an on-rails endless-runner ring-collecting thing

Well, it was SEGA who made this pattern of celebrating with a game every 5 years.

10th anniversary - Sonic Adventure 2
15th anniversary - Sonic '06
20th anniversary - Sonic Generations
25th anniversary - ???

Is that right? Still retarded. Other than generations, those games don't have any greater significance. It just so happens that those games where scheduled for completion around Sonic's anniversary.
>>
>>340465778
I know, the same article mentions that Nintendo also didn't partner up with Sony. This is just an instance where SoA was on board with the partnership while SoJ was not, which in hindsight could have been something.

>>340465825
Read the whole thing, it goes over a lot of Sega's history and it's ups and downs.

>>340466172
25th Anniversary is Fire & Ice and the Lego game that Sonic is appearing in.

Sonic Team's game is likely been delayed to 2017.

Sonic '06 is a failed reboot

>>340466172
Generations is such a fucking good game but I never finished it, I don't know what is wrong with me. I was smirking half of the time I was playing it.
>>
>>340459071
Yes, yes we do. Swag finally mastered the boost gameplay in the last game. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel with each new game they should pick something, and then stick with it, improving on the core gameplay each time.
>>
>>340466787
I can see that.
So you're suggesting that there is a greater significance to the game being put out on the anniversary because it was a reboot? If what you say is true, then that would be the dumbest move in the world. The game was clearly undercooked. They needed another year to fix everything wrong with that game.

I have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they're not so retarded that they would think Sonic 06 was made special for the 15th anniversary. I think the more likely case was that the development cost was high, and they weren't looking forward to spending another year developing that game.

Make SA3

Growing up I always woke up at 6 AM to catch the morning cartoons. Especially on Saturdays for the Saturday morning cartoons. Those were the best.
I had to go up at 7 AM to get to school at time that started 8 AM each day. So waking up one hour early really wasn't that big of a deal. If anything it just gave me more time to get ready for school properly so that I didn't have to stress.

>>340467490
SA1 was fucking awful, with SA2 maybe being slightly better.

That kind of 3D doesn't work with Sonic anymore.

That kind of 3D could work if Sonic Team was capable of doing decent physics. And to a lesser extent, camera. That's why they stroke gold with the boost formula, it's hard to fuck up and it's the most functional 3D Sonic has ever been.

Why's this showing now instead of at E3? Or is it because Nintendo's not having a conference and they can't show it off then?

For me it's too little too late, if they wanted the Boom series to have an impact on people it should have been through the first games. To me, they're lucky the comics and show came out as good as they did, as the TV series EASILY could have been just as generic and unremarkable as Pac-Man The Ghostly Adventures.

The problem wasn't the voice actors themselves, because the show is great, it's just the game spamming the same dialogue over and over. And the previous 3DS game didn't even have voices during gameplay I think.

>>340471368
I think half of any given group of people would automatically disregard boom in the first place over the redesigns. I dont like them but would never ignore a comic/show/game over it. The original 3DS game wasnt even that bad. Average in quality and short, but not offensive or bad. They just banked it all on the wii u game and as a result it got the most spotlight. Fire and Ice looks miles better and the best boom game to date, which isnt saying much but it actually looks good! I hope 3DS sonic fans can get over the redesigns and at least give it 500k sales, not to outrageous for a sonic game i would hope.

I mean SC wasn't worse than LW or Gens 3DS.
