Doesn't everyone love Sonic? - The Sonic the Hedgehog thread.

Instead we get Casino Night DLC that's just the pinball section. The music is admittedly amazing but still.
Also that and Planet Wisp sucked in that game.

Like your supposed to treat the game that saved your ass with respect. Not make it a boring long painful shitfest
 
Don't forget, Sonic Team had NOTHING to do with Sonic Boom.
They can still make a good game.
In fact, Sonic Boom being a turd might lead to the next Sonic Game being REALLY good because they don't wanna fuck up

I liked Classic Planet Wisp. Music and all.

Modern, though, yeah. Still better than both version of Crisis City in my humble opinion.
 
I mean no exaggeration that I would kill for an HD remake of Ice Cap Zone...
 
i honestly don't really care what sega does at this point
they're sitting on far too much for me to care but for them it's just sonic all the time
and they can't even do that right anymore either

Sonic is my favorite video game character of all time!
I own and/or have beaten almost every sonic game released
Top 3 Favorite games: Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic generations, Sonic Rush
Least liked games: Sonic 06, Sonic genesis (the terrible gba port), Labyrinthine, 3D Blast, and the MUSIC in sonic Chronicle (I did like the way that I can turn down Amy)
Favorite characters: Sonic, Shadow, and Blaze
Least liked: Charmy Bee, Big, and Amy Rose, (Also Sally, but I don't even want to get into the comics she just seems to me as a bad OC character)

Fun fact I made a Sonic Unleashed game in Project Spark that has been getting rated to get really high on the new and rising sections of games

Character I think should be used more: Sliver, and Blaze (NOT IN THE SAME TIMELINE JUST KEEP HER IN HER AU ORIGIN!)
One thing I really want in a Sonic game: Bring back Chao gardens or make a game based only on the speed levels in SA2

Thanks for reading also how is Sonic Boom? (the Tv show not the game) I have not tired it yet.
Oh one last thing Darksspinesonic is the best sonic speedrunner in my opinion.

And remember it was in development for 3 YEARS.
Well at least its not a reboot like we all feared right?
God I miss SA2 Kunckles' VA
and does Sonic just sound "Douchey" in this to anyone?

an additional quarter of bug testing and QA seems like it would've made this game good...it doesn't seem to be flawed by principal like some of the other sonic games.
 
42:09-42:27 of the 51 minute speedrun: Why did Sonic sound like puberty caught up to him?

Well maybe not good but it wouldn't be getting this bad press if these balant glitches were solved and boy...does the press hate sonic I mean at one point Sonic 06 had a better score than Generations on ign but it seems to have been fixed
 
How can you hate Charmy? He's literally the best character ever.

I just....do...I'm sure if I had more experience with him than just Hero's awful VA for him I could....but I can't right now.

So, Charmy is a guy?
That may sound like me being an ass, but I legit wasn't sure.
The general rule for anthropomorphic characters is: no eyelashes = male - eyelashes = female.

So Charmy is indeed a male.

I think they spent those 3 years trying to work out the CryEngine, because, apparently, Sonic Boom uses that engine...

I just finished watching the speedrun, and that's NOT CryEngine.

Always the reasonable answer, I'm sure.

Apparently a majority of BRB's employee's left in June on their own accord.

So people are leaving the company because this game is so trash?
This is disturbingly unsurprising.
 
SomecallmeJohnny's review of the game is out, and it's a great watch. He makes a great point about how the Werehog levels in Sonic Unleashed, though still mundane, are more deep and engaging than Rise of Lyric's one-note combat. And that's kinda sad.

From all the people that review video games on Youtube, Johnny's reviews are the ones I always look forward to the most:
He is the most "down to earth" when it comes to talk about Sonic and video games in general, being the first review I ever watched from him his Sonic Adventure 2 one and then I got hooked on the rest of his reviews like a leach is attached to a fat, juicy blody vein.

I was not surprised to hear that he didn't like the game, what surprised me was that the 3DS version is the superior one.

... I am still waiting for his Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed review, I love that game. IT HAS THE GUY FROM SHENMUE AND BEING THE DREAMCAST FAGGOT THAT I AM I LOVED THAT GAME.

Johnny's great. Love that guy.

Weirdly, Clementj642 (another Sonic LPer) is okay with the game. I don't know what he's on.

Clement likes pretty much anything that isn't 06.

I didn't doubt you, I just needed confirmation from other places. And Johnny is like up there when it comes to video games.

I am sorry, please forgive me :<
 
Why is it that former naughty dog employees people who basically perfected 3D platforming with Crash and Jak and Daxter can't make a decent 3d platformer but a company that got popular for porting games makes a more competent game on a handheld. I mean sunzauri games made sly 4 which in my opinion was great. But these guys a FORMER NAUGHTY DOG EMPLOYEES! I don't hate sonic lost world I merely attribute the problems in the game as trying something new. But this..sonic boom on the wii u is just plain bad no excuses
 
3D platformers in general aren't what they used to be. I think the only series from the golden age of 3D platformers that's still going strong today is Ratchet & Clank. Maybe Sly Cooper, due to Sly 4, as Magma said. Besides, it's a tie-in game. Low standards for tie-in games leading to crappy games shouldn't be a surprise by now.
 
Tie in game or not it's sonic not a movie game and what I don't get is why the 3ds version is better if it had less funding. Sonic boom screams of lazy Devs. Like johnny said in his review somehow the werehog is better. This is reall not a great first impression for Red Button. However I can say that the cartoon is good.. Not fantastic but good.
 
Apparently NeoGAF posted images from Sonic Boom artist Craig Harris' Facebook. They are rejected character designs for Sonic Boom:

850071.jpg
850073.jpg
850075.jpg
Some of them were really radical shifts in art style. I actually kind of like the Sonic designs from the fourth picture. Makes me imagine a 2D Sonic reboot with hand-drawn assets.

That last image, however... please never let that happen to Dr. Robotnik. A separate side character or alternate antagonist, sure, but that is not Robotnik.

T-shirt Sonic is cute
 
T-shirt Sonic looks straight out of the WAYPASTCOOL 90's.
 
I can definitely see why those designs were not used. People would have flipped even more badly than with the tape and scarf design.
 
Yeah I think those designs are evident that these people had a power trip and didn't want to make an actual Sonic game so much as a replacement Crash Bandicoot.
 
I thought they looked a little to crash-esqe come to think of it talking animal characters, power crystals, a evil scientist bent on destroying nature and ruling the world. My god this is a crash bandicoot game! (Or better name: Sonic's Ass Game.)
