No it doesnt you fucking nostalgia blinded autist. Sonic looked so much cooler in adventure and advance and fit the era so good. He was toned down more in 06/unleashed to be more of a noble hero that plays around with his prey a bit rather than being a radical bro guy. And hes smug as fuck in boom. the new sonic is way more versatile and cool than your nostalgia garbage. LOOK HES SO BADASS WOW. Fucking autism i swear

Sonic 4 was originally a mobile title, and some dumb-ass at SEGA wanted a Sonic 4, so they slapped the Sonic 4 name onto the mobile game they were working on.

What I heard is that Sonic 4 was just going to be some random downloadable title and they changed the name to Sonic 4 so it would gain more buzz and attention.

Yeah, not like in based Sonic 2 with things like canons in Oil Ocean shooting you around for half a minute while you sit there and can't do anything, or screws in Metropolis that you have to run on for half a minute to slowly thread them while asterons pop out of the wall and possibly make you fall off and then you have to leave and come back to make the screw's position reset so you can try again, or that entire level where you ride a plane in what is easily the most gimmicky segment in all of classic Sonic.

>over-emphasis on SPEEEEEED
Sonic 2 is by far the most speed focused of the classics, and look at Chemical Plant, which both introduced speed boosters to the series, and is like 90% loops that you watch Sonic speed through for nothing but the thrill of spectacle.

Sonic's model in the DC version of SA1 is a lot closer to the classic design than people give it credit for. Other than the green eyes (which is hardly noticeable in-game anyway) he's just a bit taller and his spines are longer, both of which look better for a 3rd person camera 3D platforming game like SA.

Was never a fan of the DX model, though. Looks too glossy.

Ill do sk for you

>first zone has shitty enemies that throw mushrooms at you and bounce you back with whack a mole ai, pulleys that completely stop the pace of everything and have you just press down for 20 seconds until you go up
>second zone has random platforms with spiked sides so you cant spin dash anywhere without hitting one, bottomless pits that you need to make...while youre fucking spinning in a tube
>third zone, sandopolis. nothing more needs to be said. one of the worst levels in sonic history, nothing but gimmicks and shitty puzzles compromise this level
>fourth zone, not to much to say here, this ones alright by some miracle. some slow sections with dumb spikes i guess
>fifth zone, good flow all around, boss fights are meh but an interesting idea and the ending is awesome
>six zone, nothing but more shitty gravity gimmicks, walls of spikes on escalators, auto rings that take forever to play out

These games seriously suck ass. its just that theyve been hyped up for to long and are to big to fall. If someone said any other sonic game was the best for years, everyone would shape their opinions and pretend to like it to. sonic 3 and sonic and knuckles are terrible, terrible games that both overstay their welcome

Are there any games where Sonic is animated like a classic cartoon character, like stretchy and squashy and abstract? He's based on classic funny animal characters like Mickey Mouse, but it feels like they don't really try to follow that style of animation, other than the spin attack being a perfect sphere.
>>
>>343130802
Eh, the move itself is fine, the problem is it means the designers don't have to care as much about making a level that flows real well and allows you to retain speed throughout most of it (green hill, starlight), since they know the player has a tool that allows for instant speed when stopped.

Honestly, I just ignore Sonic 4 as a serious attempt at a sequel to Sonic 3K, due to the circumstances of its development ( >>343125989 ). It was never meant to be a true Classic Sonic game, and it became the way it was through executive meddling. Episode 2 was likely already being developed as Ep 1 was finishing up, so they pretty much had to go through it out of obligation. The fact that Ep 2 ends so abruptly and any hints at a sequel were removed makes it obvious Sonic Team knew it was a mistake and wanted to swipe Sonic 4 under the rug.

As far as I'm concerned, they still have yet to do a -legitimate- attempt at a S3K sequel.

Maybe if the Megadrive comic does well, they could do a game adaptation of it.
