Can Sonic be saved?
Can Pepe the Frog be saved?
>>343027669
he's the hero we need, but do not deserve
>>343027669
If you put
Your mind to it, anything can be possible
>>343027669
I never understood the sonic is dead meme, when you look at it, the only bad main series game was '06, the spin-offs are a different story, but spin-offs don't define a series.
>>343027669
He's not that lost yet, so maybe.
Yes Colors, Generations, All-Star Racing and Transformed.

>>343027669
Yes, but they have to do the exact opposite of what they've been trying to do the past decade or so.
Stop trying to make it more mature, dark and edgy and trying to incorporate human characters more. Just make it cute and bright and colorful, inane and humorous and it will succeed.
They won't do that though because they're out of touch old men.

Some would tell you the boost games already saved him, to some extent. I think they're kind of dull, myself.
>>343027669
No. Sonic games have never been good. Really high speeds and a far too zoomed in screen just turns the game into a rollercoaster kind of game.
I think the new game is gonna be a classic sonic game, they've been using him way too much lately. Personally I'd love that because Robotnik's design is the ultimate in well designed characters
>>343027669
It doesn't need saving
>>343030614
That's literally what they have been doing since Colors and it sucks ass

Literally git gud. Sanic wasn´t about fast , memorizing the levels and knowing your jumps and timings made rewarded you with speed.

Sonic Boom was precisely not that. It tried to be a luldepe adventure game that got fucking panned.
>>343030987
>calling him Dr. Eggman
That's stupid. It's like calling a gay character "faggot", it's just a quip used to isolate the character's main charlcteristic and laugh about it
>>343031171
I said it doesn't need saving because the franchise is fine
>>343030987
He is Eggman and Robotnik

They literally have not done anything like that in 10 fucking years. What are you talking about
>>343031315
This. People always complain about sonic being too slow these days but Sonic 1 was probably the slowest game in the series, it was all about timing and classic platforming
Been playing sonic and Sega racing and that's fucking awesome. Sega should just being Alex Kidd, Fantasy Zone and Space Harrier back. I would legit love an open world game that explored the fantasy zone.
>>343031475
Sonic Boom was trying to be mature and edgy and deviated substantially from what people like about Sonic and big surprise it fucking tanked.
>>343027669
Ye

He was talking about the stories and the tone. Gameplay wise, those games are good
>>343031596
>Sonic Boom was trying to be mature and edgy
How?
>>343032035
Did the story involve anything more than a wacky guy in a robot chasing around Sonic and his pals for gems?
Yes? Then it was trying too hard.
>tfw the only sonic games this year will be boom 2 and another olympic game
Fuck sega, what kind of dipshits release a 25th anniversary game on the 26th anniversary?
Sure he can. Just make a sequel to Unleashed and it'll be the GOTY again.
>>343032179
so being more than NSMB in terms of plot is trying too hard?
>>343032179
>Did the story involve anything more than a wacky guy in a robot chasing around Sonic and his pals for gems?
Even Sonic 1 involved more than that
With the shit going down on his Twitter I honestly think so
>>343027669
Only if you buy his game
>>343032706

Honestly, sonic was never good.
he was just a marketing gimmick to compete with Nintendo.
>>343033016
everything is just marketing
Mario was never good he's just a replacement to popeye
Sonic Unleashed would literally have been an 8/10 if it was called, "Sonic and Knuckles: Unleashed". Get rid of that faggot Chip, spruce up the night stages a little bit and replace Werehog Sonic with Knuckles.
Done.
>>343033210
By god, you're right
Also make the hub less shit
>>343033210
Replace the werehog with Amy since she actually has weapons for combat
Having knuckles I'm unleashed would be broken because of his glide
>>343033210
I was literally saying this to myself today
Had the game just been Sonic & Knuckles 3D it would've been way better
>>343032930
>black guy missing dad joke
I missed this one. Got a link?
>>343032930
>sonic adventure 1
>sonic adventure 2>big's big fishing adventure 3
>>343033210
Most of the game would still be a mediocre, uninteresting brawler that clashes hard with the other half of the game where you're going F-Zero GX speeds. I don't know why people keep saying a Knuckles skin would change any of that.
>>343033490
https://mobile.twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/746442349622878208
>>343033750
For one reason, it would feel more in place than a random werewolf and secondly due to knuckles' gameplay style. Being able to glide and climb walls would've been fun as fuck, if digging was there too that'd be neat also
>>343033750
>people keep saying a Knuckles skin would change any of that
People like Knuckles.
People do not like Werehog Sonic.
That's really all it takes. And people would be expecting it since it'll be Knuckles in the title, and it would be justifiable.
>>343033861
The Werehog was part of the duality theme of the game. Day and night, light and darkness, sun and moon
>>343033754

why old school amy is best amy?
just make sonic & knuckles 2
>>343035357
Her design fit her character so well, she was just a young girl caught up in this whole thing, looking up to sonic as her hero for saving her
Now she's just some sexualized stalker with an inability to tell sonic apart from other hedgehogs
>>343035473
To be fair, he was supposed to look just like a deviantart OC during the plot's writing.
>>343035357
Classic Amy is good, but I disagree
>>343034319
Thank god taxman fixed the spin dash issue. Too bad he didn't change the running Sprite though, I always hated the stupid infinity running thing, I prefer the circle one from the classic trilogy

>>343035974

>>343027669
Nope
>>343036079
Man, all the Dreamcast ports sucked. Everything is so goddamn bright, all the baked shadows are gone.
I assume he's talking about Sonic 4, by the way.
>>343036079
Sonic generations had the sonics running through the past levels, seeing as the metal sonic boss fight was stardust speedway bad future, it would imply that the bad future version canonically happened somewhere in the timeline.
Remake of look alike when?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hR05BFa1zw
>>343036267
Which one?
>>343036570
A game about multiple timelines being thrown into together includes a timeline with a bad future makes it canon? So I guess Sonic didn't defeat mephiles and fucking died because crisis city is in it too

>>343036570
The bad futures existed before Sonic changed the past. You can even go to them. So they existed at some point, even if they were deleted later. That applies to Crisis City too.
>>343036524
I don't know how to explain this one, though
>>343037060
wake up because that shit would be a nightmare.
>>343037294
dream come true*
>>343036727
Didn't you watch the intro? The time eater is literally going back in time and grabbing these characters and levels from their time periods, meaning that he would go back and grab silver/crisis city prior to sonic having erased it. By that same logic, he goes and grabs metal and the level from CD that he's currently in, Stardust Speedway Bad Future. But if the bad future even existed, that means sonic canonically fucked up in the past
>>343036314is there more of this?
>>343037179
Yeah but if Sonic fixed the past, they'd cease to exist. For it to be in Generations, the time eater would've had to grab it before sonic messed with the past or after sonic failed to prevent the future

Unless the deleted stuff was actually not erased, but just put in a normally unaccesible place that was accessed by the Time Eater. That's probably the function of the White Void Space: a place outside the universe that stores stuff that was deleted, the recycle bin of the Sonic's world
But that's just a theory

>>343038974
According to the Sonic Retro wiki, it's just speculation
>Although never confirmed, it is speculated that Dr. Eggman's name was inspired by The Beatles' classic tune "I Am the Walrus." The song featuring the lyrics "I am the egg man/They are the egg men/I am the Walrus/Goo goo g'joob." Also, Eggman's theme in the later games ("E.G.G.M.A.N") makes references to I Am the Walrus, especially the line "I am the Eggman. It's what I am". It is also because of this possible connection that Sega of America may have wanted to change Dr. Eggman's name, in the fear of being sued by The Beatles' label Apple for copyright infringement.
>>343039172

>>343037963

Charmy appears in two missions in the Colors DS version of Planet Wisp
>>343033210
How would playing as Knuckles make it any different? You'd still be playing a beat em up/Platformer game. I never got why people asked this.

>>343038459
Wasn't Robotnik a polack?
>>343036570
Sonic also destroyed Metal Sonic in that location since they both went there and battled in Sonic Generations so after the boss fight Metal Sonic shouldn't have even been standing around the HUB.
>>343040741
-nik is of a slavic origin, it just sounds like a scientists name.
>>343039257
He's wearing the Beatles uniform, anon. That would probably get their attention, even if everything else was just coincidence.
People have been successfully sued for less.
>>343040741
His full name is Ivo Kintobor Julian Robotnik. Ivo does sound like a slav name, or it's probably another pun on eggs or robots in some obscure language.

>>343043943
Which are?
Considering Sonic threads literally always end in furry porn, I don't think /v/ even wants it to be saved.
>>343027669
Yep do really good 2d game with nice graphics and such, and focus on going really quick from start to finish until every 3rd stage where you fight a boss.
Have it finish and be fun.
And at no point should 2.5d or 3d have anything to do with it.
>>343044120
Music. MJ's camp is expensive and another composer has been threatening a lawsuit for a few years.
>>343044609

>Sonic threads literally always end in furry porn
But that's nasty.
>>343044914
Yes, because it'd be technically a new game/release.
Generations proved that he can be saved.
The real question is, does Sega WANT to save Sonic?
>>343044914
The ports are essentially remakes though. They're remade in their own engine. They're just using old assets.
We can only get S3&K in those collections and shit because it's emulated there.
>>343045016
>>343045074

Sonic Colors for DS finally got it right, stylus control for precision and transparent tubes.
>>343037078
best thing in the thread and no one appreciates it.
I loved that too anon.
>>343027669
Maybe if Sonic Team got some new, fresh blood. What the franchise needs is a breath of fresh air, some real creativity. Constantly trying to "go back to the franchise roots" isn't helping it at all.
>>343046205
>Constantly trying to "go back to the franchise roots" isn't helping it at all
Because they completely fail to do so.
Sonic doesn't need saving. He's doing quite alright.
I'm always rooting for the little blue bastard.
Even though his games aren't always 8/10 and higher, they have soul put into them.
