Those are all legitimate points though

What I've inferred from these threads is that Sonic fans hate everything about Sonic games.

Only a matter of time before another thread falls victim to SonicOnlyfag.

quit responding you numbskulls

Which Sonic characters have nice legs

No, we just hate the shitty parts, like the annoying gimmicks and his even more annoying friends

Only some.

This is probably the most devided fandom you'll find.

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.

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.

Exactly. I just saved you and the other guy 40-80 seconds.

Zelda.

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)

>multiple people have different opions about the same thing and disagree about them on the internet
shocking

they might be. there's one user here who as a thing for him but its probably a dude

There are equal amounts of positives that you are very clearly going to ignore.

...

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

Like?

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.

No, not really.But his friends in that game are shitty, especially that godawful Chip

vid related is going to have an update release soon at SAGExpo 2016

and apparently this is their site:

>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.

>Boost to win shit, generic giant monster of the week, werehog, and the most annoying new character
>Good

>Boost to win shit, generic giant monster of the week

We still hype for Mania? they're not just gonna port old level styles over are they?

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.

I'm hyped I want some new info

Kinda let down by the reveal of nostalgia taking precedence over novelty by order of the Sonic retarded Team.

>We still hype for Mania?
hell yes

>We still hype for Mania?
Yes.

I'm mostly talking about fan games made by anons who come here.

Sonic Team seem way too stuck in the past. Sure, Classic levels are, well, classics, but they can be topped for certain!

I wanted to post this last night but you guys had your little "episode".

Hey, you did my request. Thank you!

that's rad

my bad

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.

>Sonic Team seem way too stuck in the past.
It's not so much that is that they're so afraid of moving forward.

here's that image

Agent Jack-o'-lantern.

I guess all of the post-Battle era friends?

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. :(

Also a title screen replacement I guess.

that's the one, thanks.

Is Sonic 4 actually a bad game or is it just mediocre and didn't live up to the name.
youtube.com/watch?v=VlXXoMRe8eI

4 Ep.2 was okay

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?

Ep1 is irredeemable garbage, Ep2 is decent enough.

>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.

Can you blame them? Frankly I think they're doing the right thing by playing it safe

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.

>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"

>playing it safe
That dumb whats so unsafe about new zones like Studiopolis

Studiopolis got a bit of a bad rep.

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

I have heard nothing but positive things about Studiopolis

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?

I know you're pretending to be dense but I'm posting a reaction image anyways.

>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.

Sandopolis is far from the worst level in Classic Sonic games. That title can easily go to Marble, Labyrinth, or Oil Ocean.

No, just a very vocal few.

Download the Unleashed Project, it comes with SonicGMI

>Labyrinth
That's pretty bad, every other water Zone in Classic Sonic is better
>Their people out their who think its a good Zone

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

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.

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.

>Marble, Labyrinth, or Oil Ocean
Are all better than Sandopolis Act 2.

...

Rouge the rest are just noodle limbs

...

>Studiopolis got a bit of a bad rep.
No?

Who's saying negative stuff about Studiopolis? Epileptics?

anons its to risky

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.

why even bother with the franchise at that point if you lack that much faith in it

already fixed it

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.

Why would anyone make any videogames ever if they take as little risk as you describe?

the fuck is the middle supposed to be

Silver? Metal Sonic? How are either of those "desperate"?

people didn't hate unleashed and 06 because new stages they hated them because forced new shitty gameplay

...

Which comics characters would you like to see developed more?

I'd like to see Antoine get something post-reboot, and some more stuff with the Egg Bosses

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

Tails, Nicole, Eclipse, all the Egg Bosses

That's a sweet sword.

>new stages are a risk
they were never a risk

>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

New stages were never a risk.

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.

Just goes to show how bad things are if people really believe this.

just ignore the resident shiposter

>Labyrinth
>"Every level I must go fast no exceptions!"

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.

>Dorkly
I stopped questioning at that point

Why is Bark a girl?

They tried letting him being Sonic's equal in Colors & Lost World and people hated it.

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?

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

The more of these that are made the more I dislike DLL.
