4.5 seconds into the second try Sonic rolls up a ledge and is then unfurled. Does this not bother you?

Sega can call this Sonic Advance HD and I'd be ok with it.
The Blue Jihad said:Eh, you know what? No. The gameplay doesn't look fine.
Sonic reaches top speed way too quickly, which ends up propelling him into off-screen enemies way too often. Seriously. Watch the gameplay video on Youtube. Sonic barrels into the very first enemy. He's moving way too fast and the enemy blurs right into the background. How does that gameplay "look fine"?
What about the next couple of seconds, where Sonic roll-spins up that little ramp...only to go into some terrible neutral mid-air pose, and falls right onto the next enemy. How does that gameplay "look fine"?
Again, within another couple of seconds, yet another example of the "Slam into off-screen enemy because you're moving too quickly" crap. The gameplay does not "look fine."
There are homing attack markers flashing everywhere, too. For bouncers. For monitors. For enemies. For random scenery. The gameplay does not "look fine."
Furthermore, look at just how many boosters there are. Almost all of the level is nothing but boosters, bouncers and loop-de-loops. They're constantly pushing Sonic to move at top speed. There are only two real instances of actual platforming. Everything else is just speed speed speed.
The gameplay does not "look fine." lol
Hell, so far it just looks like the same old terrible 3D Sonic mechanics transplanted into 2D. Which is precisely what people were afraid of.
Thank you for this post. Comprehensive. If anyone doesn't get it...read this right here.

So you don't know what makes a good Sonic game. I can accept that.
Just don't call the ones that do a "damn scary bunch". These are the same people that called out past shit Sonic games.
jman2050 said:It's sad that people's standards have dropped so low that "playable" manages to be an acceptable level of success.
Yeah.
The game is "playable" and you guys will hate it no matter what.
No...I'm going to stop hating it when it matches the standards of Sonic 1/2/3...which isn't unfair or unreasonable.
What is unreasonable is that people keep buying this and encourage Sega that they can give us anything and we'll buy it.
Sega and Sonic Team has been called incompetent and untalented...I want to start calling them "irresponsible" for handling their premiere mascot like this.
Mama Robotnik said:Yeah, Time Twisted is not perfect. But its a billion, trillion infinities better than this travesty.
Forget animations/graphics/whatever this is the sort of gameplay I want. Not perfect but so much more of what Sonic 4 should represent.
Actual. Fucking. Platforming.
DeVeAn said:I honestly don't care what they do at this point, no one Sonic fan will/can be satisfied from what this thread tells me.
Keep telling yourself that. I am pretty satisfied with the above posted fan game.
