Happy birthday you blue bastard. I'm going to bed, so tomorrow I'll do a lap through Sonic 1.
>>3311175
well that was a fun thread.
Happy birthday, Sonic. I'm still holding out for another good game from you.
Happy birthday, Sonic! At least your bad games never LITERALLY destroyed anybody's console.
>>3311175
As a Sonic fan, I truly wish it was dead.

>Sonic R was the last time we saw classic Sonic before Sega hired that edgy cunt that 20 year olds love so much.
>>3311321
This. Sonic should if died with the Dreamcast.
>>3310784
Happy birthday... Here's to your 25th anniversary actualy getting a good game... hopefully
Happy birthday sonic. Now go and make me a good game. Its been 20 years since the last one.
>>3310784
Happy Birthday Sonic.
People on this board call you a dead franchise to try and antagonize us Sonic fans.
How I wish they were right...
Is Sonic finally kill? I hope so.
>>3310784
I wish he would just die. honestly so fucking sick of seeing new games, every single one, being released every year since 2001.
>>3311595

i really wish sonic adventure would've been his last game and they just let him die a nice death... instead he's been raped repeatedly over and over
Sonic 3&K was(were) the last good Sonic game(s). Sonic couldn't make the transition to 3D because of how the character was bound to go fast and thus a 3D platformer similar to Mario 64 was impossible and the gameplay reminiscent of the ring collecting special stage in Sonic 2 changed the feel of the game too much. RIP. Also, Happy Birthday.
I'm not sure what I wanna do today for
Sonics birthday
Go to the gym maybe?

You actually believe all the bullshit you just spouted?
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were the last good Sonic games and they were 3D. Everything else afterwards was garbage. As far as 3D controls go, these two games had the best and there were only a few situations here and there where it was bullshit (i.e. the loops before the giant orca in SA1, the truck in SA2, etc. can't be bothered to list more). The way characters moved, the speed at which they accelerated, gained momentum etc. (in other words PHYSICS) were intuitive and fair. It was only from Sonic Heroes and beyond where everything truly went to hell.
>>3310784
>no new anniversary Sonic game
how has such a great concept and IP fallen so far?
there was a time when Sonic was bigger and better than Mario
I don't even blame 3D as the issue since recent 2D games (Sonic 4) were pretty dull and missed most of what was fun about the old ones, plus there have been good 3D games like the Adventure ones and Colours
why is sega such shit, letting their golden goose rot in a cage somewhere
>>3311595
there have been a handful of good new games, but they don't make up for the mountains of shit
I liked Sonic Colours
>>3311747
>there was a time when Sonic was bigger and better than Mario
I grew up in the 90s as a Sega kid, I loved Sonic at the time and even I know this has never been the case. I don't like Mario games at all, not even from that era (I've played them later through emulation anyhow) and they're just much more expansive.
Sonic games are simply about getting to the end of the level, maybe picking up the chaos emeralds along the way.
Mario games are essentially adventure games. They're not even comparable, honestly.
I grew up with Sonic games but it's simply stupid to say the franchise was better than Mario's at any point.
>>3311750
>there have been a handful of good new games
Wrong.
>I liked Sonic Colours
Only autistmal fucks like Sonic Colours. Every single time you pieces of shit raise this game as one of the good 3D Sonic games. FUCK you. GOTTA GO FAST shit only started as a fucking meme and it was never the main purpose of playing the games until Sega devs decided to streamline the fuck out of it.
"Going fast," or rather, SPEEDRUNNING, is a thing of the past now, since all you need to do, you guessed it, is hold a fucking button and maybe sometimes move left or right or maybe, maybe, MAYBE, jump. They took the GAMEPLAY part of the game for fuck's sake.
>>3311767
>Mario games are essentially adventure games.
not at all, not anymore than Sonic really
and the beauty of sonic is the physics and precision of the entire thing, how you are rewarded for your timing and perfect jumps by being able to go fast, its so simple yet really satisfying
and I'm saying this never owning a Genesis or any sega console as a kid (I was always a Nintendo guy) but having played the sonic games more recently
>>3311772
>GOTTA GO FAST shit only started as a fucking meme and it was never the main purpose of playing the games
wrong
going fast was definutely part of the old games, they just made it more difficult as the levels got harder
the problem with new sonic is you just go fast by default and the game encourages it rather than tries to put obstacles up against you going fast.
in the old games, going fast was the reward for being skilled at the game.
now every game tries to be like the Green Hill Zone and not putting up any complex walls to your speed.
also Sonic started getting ruined when they started putting unavoidable things in there that stop your speed, like elevators or slow moving platforms you need to stand on, as opposed to presenting some puzzle you can solve quickly to retain your speed.
Stop sucking Nintendo's dick and wish him a happy birthday
Quit ruining things Nintoddlers
>>3311779
>not at all, not anymore than Sonic really
That's just plain wrong. Do old Sonic games have a world map? No. Can you go to previous levels you've already cleared to pick up items, powerups, rediscover secrets, etc.? No. Can you even backtrack to previous zones of the same stage? Nope. All this and more can be done in pretty much any Mario game released in the same era features such things. They're both platformers, but clearly Mario games are far more expansive and built around exploring everything, whereas the only thing that truly matters in Sonic games is getting to the end.
>>3311783
>going fast was definutely part of the old games, they just made it more difficult as the levels got harder
Provide proof, other than Sega's "blast processing" marketing strategies. There's absolutely nothing in the games that suggested you absolutely must "go fast" to beat the game. There's a 10 minute limit for every zone and you do get bonus points based on time, but then, if you can, explain the purpose of having the stages absolutely full of platforms and little areas with extra shields, lives and rings that don't aid you beating the game quicker in any way. There's zero purpose in "going fast" unless you are doing a speedrun and even then it takes skill and careful planning. It was never the main purpose of the game. In fact, the only thing that actually encourages going faster is either getting the speed shoes power up, or being able to go Super.
>Sonic started getting ruined when they started putting unavoidable things in there that stop your speed
No it didn't. This was there from the very first game, present in the second and third and Knuckles. The whole "gotta go fast" is utter nonsense and retroactively stating those games were shit for forcing you to slow down is just about the most retarded opinion imaginable.
>>3311767
Just like you I grew up a Sega kid. Idk it did feel like Sonic was a bigger deal than Mario around Sonic 2 if only for a little while. That was a long time ago tho so I could be mistaken.
>>3311797
Hey, celebrate his birthday or fuck off senpaitachi
This isn't the time for your console war "sonic was never good" dribble
>>3311805
>This isn't the time for your console war "sonic was never good" dribble
That isn't even remotely close to anything of what I said. I said Sonic games went to shit since 2001 and I'm defending the fact that they were never about "going fast" before Colours.
I am celebrating his anniversary by wishing him a mercy death.
>>3311810
Alright but instead of gloating about Mario, post about Sonic
>>3311797
you don't need to go fast to beat sonic, like I said, going fast is the reward for playing the game well. the game is designed so that a skilled player will be able to go fast, while if you're shit you will miss jumps, miss your timing, and end up going slow and not having that exilirating feeling you get when you are going fast.
that's also the point of Green Hill Zone and why everyone loves it, it was made so that even shitty players could have a taste of that speed so that they would keep coming back, trying again and again to get it in latter levels.
with Mario, you can bumble through each level and still beat the game, and its 'adventure' focus isn't that strong, nor does that take away from what makes sonic good.
>>3311813
Fine.
I remember the first time I beat Sonic 2. My heart was about to explode and suddenly this cutscene comes on with sad music. I honestly cried.
Then when I beat it as Tails, same thing again.
At the time I never got to play 3 and/or Knuckles until years later. It was my older brother's consoles and only he would get games.
>>3311818
>going fast is the reward for playing the game well.
Let me stop you right there. How is this ANY different from ANY game? Think about it.
>>3311797
All of the things you said can be done with save feature or level select in S3&K tbqh
World map is unnecessary btw
How do we respond to this?
>>3311823
if you've played sonic you should understand what I mean
you can go fast in Mario but its not the same visceral feeling as rushing though a level as Sonic
also pic related, contemporary art on the feelings Sonic evokes
>>3311827
that anon is really just agreeing with what Yuji Naka himself said.
he said that sonic was designed after the effect of playing mario levels enough times to the point of being good at them, and then speeding through those levels that you know. sonic is just a faster, bouncier mario.
>>3311840
To be fair Sonic physics were a lot different from Mario physics
>>3311843
especially the acceleration being important
Sonic handles differently, he's much more fluid and nimble
Shitty franchise that did more harm than good to the gaming industry by creating a generation of OC DONUT STEAL deviantart autistic otherkin.
Should be used as a litmus test to gauge whether a child should be euthanized or not.
for an example, compare this guys run
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kOAdhUlkt0
to this guys sloppy performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1zdPhVrbh8
notice how the music gets faster as you speed up? everything gets more intense and the way the level's graphics are designed is to give a real feeling of speed when you are going fast, unlike Mario, similar to tricks used in contemporary racing games.
Let's take a moment to show some appreciation for the oft-overlooked GG / SMS titles.
Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos were the basis of many fond childhood memories for me.
>>3311867
Didn't like Sonic 2 at all but I had a master system with 1 pre installed.
Still play it from time to time.

Thank you all for coming.

Hi Chris-Chan.
Favorite Sonic game?
>>3311854
just like the games, there is a sweet spot of sonic love, where you just go fast enough
that pic is by someone who has gone too fast, reached too high.
>>3311906
S3nK followed by Rush.
>>3311906
everyone seems to rag on it but I really do like Sonic 2. I enjoy it's variety of levels.
>>3311906
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
specifically the Sonic and Knuckles part
>>3310784
Happy birthday Sonic.
>>3311827
What a retarded question.
"Going fast" is simply referring to the momentum based physics and how they allow you to go at higher speeds depending on how well you platform. Mario does this too, but Sonic was different in that its level design was specifically catered to it, and gave it a certain flow that hadn't been done before. Essentially, what >>3311840 said. Yes, you can go fast in any game if you play well, but obviously not all games are designed with it in mind.
Shitposters: it's super cool to be a contrarian and all, but at least try to make sense.
>>3312040
Shitposters will never make sense, that's why they're called shitposters.
>>3310784
>sonic will never get a good game with proper physics and level design.
>>3312112
idk how Sega can be so shit with this
they have everything already there for them and they still fuck up
>>3312112
Well, not in the modern age.
>>3312040
Name a single 2D platformer that doesn't reward you for playing well, allowing you to finish levels faster. Name fucking one, you stupid fuck. Shitpost that, motherfucker. I'm so sick of hearing this bullshit about Sonic games.
>>3311747
Can't make fun of a MegaMan clone and be taken seriously if you're releasing a shitty anniversary game.
>>3311747
Modern Sega is practically dead. Hell, they can barely keep pushing out Yakuza rehashes these days.
>>3312146
You completely misread his post shitposter.
>>3312146
>allowing you to finish levels faster.
The reward isn't just finishing games faster anon the actual reward is the speed what aren't you getting here.
>>3311783
That last sentence literally describes Marble Zone perfectly.
>>3311906
It's a close call, but at least recently it has been CD because of its in-between Sonic and Sonic 2 like design, varied gameplay and two soundtracks you can switch between on more recent versions.
Sonic 2 was the last good Sonic game.
All future iterations either have poor level designs (3K, CD) or shit controls (3D).
>>3312301
While Sonic 2 is good it has absolute shit tier level design for the classic games because half of them weren't designed with the super spin dash in mind.
>>3310784
Just played the original in celebration.
Even after all these years, I remembered enough about the level layouts to collect all the emeralds and beat the game, though I made a few clumsy instakill mistakes in Labyrinth Zone and Scrap Brain Zone I probably wouldn't have made 16+ years ago. It's funny how childhood and adolescent games get etched into your brain like that, I doubt I would be able to do this with most modern releases in 16+ years time.
>>3312307
I should play Game Gear sonic 1 before the day is done.
>>3312258
that's why marble zone sucks
I'm convinced it's only there to teach you a lesson in the torment of slow
