Welcome to Sonic the Hedgehog General. Let's talk about Sonic games, old and new, and the entire franchise including animation and comics. Share art, music, talk about new developments, discuss ROM hacks, speedrunning, etc.
/sthg/ - #581 - Halloween Silver Edition

What I've inferred from these threads is that Sonic fans hate everything about Sonic games.
Julian Gutierrez
Only a matter of time before another thread falls victim to SonicOnlyfag.
Owen Perez
quit responding you numbskulls
Juan Hall
Which Sonic characters have nice legs
Oliver Murphy
No, we just hate the shitty parts, like the annoying gimmicks and his even more annoying friends
Kayden Garcia
Only some.
James Jackson
This is probably the most devided fandom you'll find.
Dylan Nelson
let's say Sonic Battle finally gone up to heights where you can mod it like a simple Brawl hack or DooM .wad.
what would you like to see in it? >inb4 "real hack?" no you can't do this in the Hack Suite, yet.
Justin Jones
With all the recent talk about user's making Sonic fan games.
We should add a small section to the pastebin with the names of the projects and links to them if they released.
Green Hill Paradise and Sanix the Edgehog Adventure 2DX have released and were shown off by anons here.
Then we have the ones still in progress like the low poly Amy game, the Bump Sonic 1 hack, that game abt was planning, etc.
Mason Diaz
Exactly. I just saved you and the other guy 40-80 seconds.
Mason Hernandez
Zelda.
Bentley Nguyen
I honestly don't think Sonic has gotten 3D right ever. The best it's been is "okay but could be much better" (Adventure) or "let's just make 90% of the game 2D" (Colors/Generations)
Jacob Foster
>multiple people have different opions about the same thing and disagree about them on the internet shocking
Jaxson Scott
they might be. there's one user here who as a thing for him but its probably a dude
Logan Peterson
There are equal amounts of positives that you are very clearly going to ignore.
Gavin Jones
...
Robert Robinson
Sonic should just stop trying 3D desu. It doesn't work and will never work. Cut his friends, cut the 3D, and just have it be 2d games with Sonic and Eggman. That's how to make Sonic good again
Camden Hill
Like?
James Miller
First point is only on PS3 and that's because the PS3 sucks. Second point is the only legitimate criticism. Third and fourth are only parroted by retards.
Liam Miller
No, not really.But his friends in that game are shitty, especially that godawful Chip
>Nearly perfect setting and atmosphere >Simple yet enjoyable story without Pontaff's Johnny Test writing >Great, varied and well-researched music (this was a given) >Satisfying gameplay and addicting challenge missions >Set the groundwork for ultimately better-recieved Sonic titles
Meme all you want, Unleashed will always be one of the better Sonic games. Shit like Colors doesn't compare.
Jayden Lee
>Boost to win shit, generic giant monster of the week, werehog, and the most annoying new character >Good
Evan Foster
>Boost to win shit, generic giant monster of the week
Asher Johnson
We still hype for Mania? they're not just gonna port old level styles over are they?
Noah Perry
I love buzzwords, too, but they don't carry an argument as much as you think.
I'm still really excited, especially for the modding potential.
Grayson Rogers
I'm hyped I want some new info
Lucas Long
Kinda let down by the reveal of nostalgia taking precedence over novelty by order of the Sonic retarded Team.
David Thomas
>We still hype for Mania? hell yes
Ethan Adams
>We still hype for Mania? Yes.
David Nelson
I'm mostly talking about fan games made by anons who come here.
Angel King
Sonic Team seem way too stuck in the past. Sure, Classic levels are, well, classics, but they can be topped for certain!
Brayden Jones
I wanted to post this last night but you guys had your little "episode".
Aaron Russell
Hey, you did my request. Thank you!
Jonathan Reed
that's rad
Sebastian Brown
my bad
Jace Morris
Yes. And have you seen the side to side comparison of the Original Green Hill zone and the redsigned one? There are tons of differences and Whitehead said GHZ was the tamest redesign they made.
Luis Ramirez
>Sonic Team seem way too stuck in the past. It's not so much that is that they're so afraid of moving forward.
David Taylor
here's that image
Matthew Peterson
Agent Jack-o'-lantern.
Andrew Myers
I guess all of the post-Battle era friends?
Aaron Gomez
Pretty much all that's stopping me releasing Bump is that I can't work out where the mappings are for the ending scene so those sprites are still a colour swapped Sonic. :(
4 Ep.1 was a fucking insult to the original line to the Genesis Sonic trilogy (1, 2, 3&K)
wonder what happened to the teams that did Sonic Advance and Rush at Dimps?
Hunter Howard
Ep1 is irredeemable garbage, Ep2 is decent enough.
Connor Rodriguez
>just woke up >Silver pic I didn't have >halloween >fanart from a Sonic Channel pic this is looking like it's gonna be a good day.
Gavin Fisher
Can you blame them? Frankly I think they're doing the right thing by playing it safe
Gabriel Clark
They don't want gaijin to make them look inferior by making a complete game on a low budget that blows their last decade of work the fuck out.
Mason Adams
>wonder what happened to the teams that did Sonic Advance and Rush at Dimps? Lower budget and rushed deadlines, what else?
"Hey Dimps, mind making a cheap mobile game for us." "Yeah sure, here you go." "jk we're actually porting it to console and PC and calling it Sonic 4"
Eli Ross
>playing it safe That dumb whats so unsafe about new zones like Studiopolis
Nathaniel Bennett
Studiopolis got a bit of a bad rep.
Aiden Ramirez
Nothing, but an entire game full of new levels could make things too unfamiliar for new players. Better to ease people in in with some old ones and new ones, and then make an entire new game
Kind of hope 2017 does the same thing
David Wood
I have heard nothing but positive things about Studiopolis
Joshua Harris
With who idiots? Since when was making new zones a risk, this "playing it safe" thing is going to far now its not like were talking about a radical change in gameplay. Thats the fucking point to be a new game with new levels? Shit we can"t trust to make new levels?
Parker Lee
I know you're pretending to be dense but I'm posting a reaction image anyways.
Brody Brown
>Sandopolis is universally agreed to be the worst S&K level and the classic games as a whole. But why? I understand it not being the strongest level, but there are more boring levels and I found it to be a pretty creative level, which was fun.
>considering how much I love Sonic, it's criminal how many of the games I never played This.
Adam Ortiz
Sandopolis is far from the worst level in Classic Sonic games. That title can easily go to Marble, Labyrinth, or Oil Ocean.
Christopher Sullivan
No, just a very vocal few.
Asher Brooks
Download the Unleashed Project, it comes with SonicGMI
Nathan Garcia
>Labyrinth That's pretty bad, every other water Zone in Classic Sonic is better >Their people out their who think its a good Zone
David Cruz
I'm being serious though. If they play it safe there's less of a chance of them screwing up We can't trust the people working on the games to do much, much less make something wholly new
Adrian Harris
Whats hard about making a Green Hill Zone expy instead of making Green Hill Zone. Studiopolis is sort of like Casino Night except with tv/film studio theme instead of straight up a Casino.
Jonathan Myers
Oil Ocean is nowhere close to as bad as Sandopolis.
In fact I legitimately have no idea why people hate Oil Ocean to begin with.
Chase Morris
>Marble, Labyrinth, or Oil Ocean Are all better than Sandopolis Act 2.
Julian Collins
...
Landon Martin
Rouge the rest are just noodle limbs
Lucas King
...
Oliver Cooper
>Studiopolis got a bit of a bad rep. No?
Angel Reed
Who's saying negative stuff about Studiopolis? Epileptics?
Jack Taylor
anons its to risky
Wyatt Baker
They're just that: new. There's no guarantee they're going to hit it with the players and maybe they think older stages have a higher chance of doing that.
Alexander Bell
why even bother with the franchise at that point if you lack that much faith in it
Aaron Sullivan
already fixed it
Evan Green
Except new stages were never the problem. It was the gameplay. Sonic 4 played like shit but the stages weren't the problem. I can only assume you're projecting hard here.
Jose Johnson
Why would anyone make any videogames ever if they take as little risk as you describe?
Anthony Kelly
the fuck is the middle supposed to be
Silver? Metal Sonic? How are either of those "desperate"?
Brayden Stewart
people didn't hate unleashed and 06 because new stages they hated them because forced new shitty gameplay
Justin Young
...
Daniel Hughes
Which comics characters would you like to see developed more?
Eli Edwards
I'd like to see Antoine get something post-reboot, and some more stuff with the Egg Bosses
Mason Wilson
And they'd be right. It'd be better to just play it safe and gradually introduce more new stages until they feel confident in releasing something wholly new
Chase Taylor
Tails, Nicole, Eclipse, all the Egg Bosses
Henry Wood
That's a sweet sword.
Caleb Martin
>new stages are a risk they were never a risk
Angel Hall
>Tails No chance in hell unless the games do something with him, like I dunno, actually letting him be something other than Sonic's sidekick
Easton Adams
New stages were never a risk.
Chase Cooper
I would say, but I don't want to offend anyone by implying that Sonic should have more than two characters. Because supporting casts and worldbuilding are just the worst thing ever, apparently.
John Brown
Just goes to show how bad things are if people really believe this.
Colton Watson
just ignore the resident shiposter
Asher Ross
>Labyrinth >"Every level I must go fast no exceptions!"
Ryder Martin
Money? Big fanbase? Renowned franchise? Who cares. Given the circumstances and how much they've screwed up in the past I could see them trying to be careful, even if they overdo it to the detriment of the game.
Pic related. They had to have a somewhat logical reason to make the decision they made about the classic levels, I'm just saying what I think one of those reasons could be for fun, not that I agree or not with it.
This isn't Unleashed or 06. The gameplay here is a given, pretty much the only variable left is the levels.
Liam Rivera
>Dorkly I stopped questioning at that point
Justin Gomez
Why is Bark a girl?
Adrian Moore
They tried letting him being Sonic's equal in Colors & Lost World and people hated it.
Jaxson Lopez
There's that Labyrinth defender. It was a shit zone get over it. >This isn't Unleashed or 06 no fucking shit you idiot, making new levels isn't bad Sonic 2, CD, 3&K did it what make it suddenly bad now?
Jordan Torres
That's why they should play it safe for a while, so things can get better. Slow and steady, that's how you fix it
Jaxon Wood
The more of these that are made the more I dislike DLL.
