Sonic the Hedgehog

Post by GhostCow »

First trailer just dropped and it's looking pretty good to me. They did a good job of translating the 16-bit era art style to 3d. It's weird seeing Amy with her Sonic CD design again.

I just don't get the appeal of these 2D Sonic games. You're supposed to go fast, but you're often punished for it, and if they design a game that actually compliments your speed it becomes just some automated loop-de-loop game. The game honestly looks worse than Sonic Mania as well.

Sounds like a skill issue to me. Going fast is your reward for getting good.

That's a cope. Sonic the Hedgehog was never good, his games nor his character.

Just like racing games. Sonic is pretty much born from the arcade philosophy that has always accompanied SEGA. The series make more sense if you take them as horizontal racing games with obstacles than a platformer. Getting mad at Sonic games for not letting you go fast 100% of the time is like getting mad at having to brake at turns in racers.

I much prefer the crisp 2D style. 3D looks too smooth.

A part of me just wants to say "skill issue" but you're probably right. It's better on controller I reckon but I'm too used to playing it on keyboard.

I liked Adventure but preferred Heroes. Cooler levels, you fight with a team of three bros instead of the lonely experience of being by yourself, and I had fun playing multiplayer with my friends.

Based. Dunno why everyone shits on Heroes. Plus, What I'm Made Of goes insanely hard.

The films are probably lame anyway, but I refuse to watch any live action Sonic film until they have Crush 40 in them.

The second one has a 30 minute long Tyler Perry all-black wedding scene with no Sonic Characters.

Yes, they are lame, but seeing Jim Carrey having fun in them makes me happy.

Curious about that, too. I remember seeing everyone **** on the early gameplay reveal so I never tried it. But now Frontiers seems renowned. :scratch:

The movies are pretty bad, and do a poor job of retelling/packaging the universe of Sonic the Hedgehog for normies. Games like Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 and those of that era (including Heroes) would make for great entertainment if adapted into a trilogy of movies. It could be the anti-Illumination/anti-Disney, the way (((Dreamworks))) used to be. A more mature experience for older kids and teens. Instead the movies we got were by-the-numbers and bland, with humor that rarely hits it's mark. Jim Carrey is not someone I'd want to spend any time with in real-life, but he knows his comedy, and those skills are wasted in two subpar scripts, with a third one on the way.

If you don't think about what's happening on the screen, it'll do. The main thing is not to think about why everything looks the way it does and not to look for meaning in platform elements hanging in the air. Just enjoy the opportunity for high-speed platforming, no matter how the environment looks senseless and stupid around you.

One of the few cases where I agree with you, at least partially.

I asked ny son about this list and he agreed, excepting that he would put Sonic Rush above Sonic 1.

So, just so you know, you have the approval of a literally autistic teenager.
