It's a fairly simple process.

2D gameplay - pretty good

3D gameplay - do not touch

Sonic will never "grow" as a series if they keep doing 2d games only, this is the problem with some fans' requests.

Let me explain better, even if it's a difficult concept... what I mean is that Sonic in 3d could be awesome. there.
In 2d, they pretty much already did what there is to do, the super-speed games and the more classic ones...

Every true SEGA fan loved Sonic Adventure, it was in 3d, it was Sonic, it was brand new... you can't say those games were shit.

I think SEGA follows the wrong fans.
They did Shadow the Hedgehog for the 8 years old (mistake 1), but now they are trying to kill Shadow with all these colorful "returning to roots" Sonic 2d games... (Unleashed, Sonic 4) and I'd say this is mistake 2.

They should do like Nintendo and do both full 2d and full 3d games -- with Sonic.
The 3d ones should be the high-budget ones.

No it wasn't.

It was devised by the spelling reformist movement, which gained more traction in America than England.

.. Which was canonized in Webster's Dictionary which is the single document most American spellings can be traced to. Look it up in the British/American spelling differences wiki page.... THESE KIDS LIKE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!?!

So basically it's the slightly-less awful part of Sonic Unleashed (that was still not very good) in full game form. Great.

You aren't going to move the goalposts on me and get away with it. You said Webster devised it. He didn't. I told you who did.

I am fully aware of the above, but I am a pedant and can't help myself sometimes.

There are spellings that Webster devised. Color is not one of them.

My problem? SegaSonic has yet to provide proof that they can do 2D or 3D competently yet. :lol

On the 3D avenue alone, they've had so many attempts to do as such, between the sequential 3D releases up to Sonic Unleashed. And what happens? Not much to showcase that they've learned much from their time working with 3D Sonic, as a number of the same issues that have plagued Sonic's 3D outings since Sonic Adventure still remain.

2D's not that much better off, even if we omit Sonic 4, and just focus on the final products that have been released thus far.

At this point, it doesn't matter that much if it's 2D or 3D: if Sega could just do more to focus on ONE THING, and do the damn thing with it, that be a start. The brand is stretched far too thinly for its own good, and they're more prone to trying out some other gimmick rather than fine tuning what they have in front of them.

wat

segas 2D outings have been pretty solid

sonic advance 1 through 3 are good games and sonic rush as well as Sonic rush adventures were actually great games..

I would say sonic 2D has been in another category in terms of quality similar to castlevania 2D compared to 3D

Perhaps you've been playing different 2D Sonic games from me then.

I mean, I dunno! Maybe there's a sort of sublime value to games that have mediocre level designs, not to mention having entire levels hovering over perpetually bottomless pits, among other things. :lol

The best thing about the 16-bit era games was that solid level design that was just as conducive for exploration as much as trying to find the "quickest route". NONE of Dimps' efforts, from Sonic Pocket Adventure on up, have been able to mimic that.

MILLIONS!

you know what this is way off topic but the little mermaid game from (I believe) the megadrive era was actually quite good best I remember. Perhaps it was NES.

Trailer looks great and PR also sounds promising. I'm happy about that announcement.

I think we should forever refer to Sonic 2006 as "The Fresh One"
Don't even call it Sonic.

I'm sorry but I had to.

You can't complain about the crappy games you don't buy, but if you buy the crappy games in the first place and say they're bad later, obviously you're a hypocrite.


I like the old sonic cycle better.

Seeing the pic in the OP, and reading what the game is about, it almost sounds like a modified remake of Sonic 1.

I'm not stupid eough to expect something like that, but the description and pic lend me to 'think' that.

He may have been talking about the NES one by Capcom, which was really fun.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a post complaining about Sonic Colors being exclusive for the Wii and DS. Have all the Gaf whiners been banned?

also, as long as it's like the Daytime levels in Unleashed (HD ones) then I'll bite. at $30.

People whining about a Sonic game not coming to other consoles?

:lol

If this game wouldn't be made by Sonic Team but an actual good team, people would have cared. GAF has become pretty indifferent towards Sonic Team so... yeah. Well, except for Segata who enjoyed NiGHTS Wii. But that about wraps it up.

Edit: that Shadow opening scene is horrible though :lol
