Sonic Megathread

Bingo! a red echdina that climbs walls, even.

That's another cool thing about the classic games, the characters color palettes just work.

 

[MemeAlert]

Repeated level themes are nothing new, it's just easier to notice by the third rodeo.

But the fact that they're kinda generic compare to Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2. Its bothers me seeing how people complained about Sonic being in the "real world" In Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 when you literally go through a generic jungle and Antarctica of all things in Sonic 3 & K.

The Genesis games lead into the Adventure games. It's the same world.

Yea but they never explained that.

Yea but they never explained that.

Sonic Adventure was developed since the Sega Saturn. Saturn directly followed Genesis era and even got a Genesis collection with Sonic Jam. Sonic Jam had a 3D mode that was more or less a beta for Sonic Adventure. That's just the gameplay part. If you go deeper into some early screenshots of Adventure's development, we see Saturn era Sonic and Tails and some Saturn looking areas from Sonic Adventure such as Mystic Ruins. It's also Classic Sonic and not his Adventure design yet. That design was even left in some parts of the Dreamcast game like flying in the Tornado. There's also that flashback of Tails remembering meeting Sonic. I'm just saying the games are closely linked. Also gotta point out the Echidna prophecies they left behind for telling future events in both S3&K and Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.

sonic 1 is my favorite of the first 3
sonic adventure 2 is my favorite of the dreamcast ones

i wonder if it is uncommon or popular to share my opinion - i respect the mega drive sonic games a lot, but i am not a particularly big fan of them, the original sonic adventure game is when the series caught my interest, and i am very fond of sonic adventure (1)
sonic adventure 2 i enjoyed less than sonic adventure 1, but i still thought it was a good game and shadow the hedgehog is my favourite sonic character by far
i do not really care for the sonic games that came out after adventure 2, with the exception of sonic 06 and unleashed (i have not played sonic frontiers yet, but i have heard it is like sonic 06 and unleashed so i would like to play it)
oh and sonic generations was pretty good too (i have not played shadow generations yet)

Sonic 1 is my favorite of the first 3.

It's quite the uncommon taste among fans around.

While Sonic 1 is being respected for being the genesis of the franchise (pun intended) many agreed that 2 and 3&K improved upon and that there's little to no reasons to go back to the first if we got the choice.

Yet I totally understand that sentiment.

It's the early instalment weirdness but it's fascinating how the series was before they've introduced the two acts zones, the spin dash and even the ability to have Super Sonic.

I also liked his slightly light purple hue compared to the more blueish look in 2 onwards

I've always found the Mania colour a bit weird because Sonic looks a bit too light

And reverting to his 1&CD&2 shape than his 3&K kinda felt like back pedalling rather than showing that Classic Sonic has evolved after Generations.

Back to Sonic 1 I really wonder if they wanted to tell what those were about

Same with the bird faces on the Labyrinth Zone blocks:

...you forgot Sonic Heroes.

 

[Ikagura]

...you forgot Sonic Heroes.

I often forget about this game.


They've brought back some of that Classic feeling in this entry (the checker-board pattern on the mountains, the two act level structure, the special stages, the comeback of the Chaotix among other things) yet they have missed the mark on that one.

But let's focus on Classic Sonic.

i do not like sonic heroes
it does have very nice music

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Is a Kart Racing Spectacle That Celebrates Sega’s History

I have one more for today. This game is very entertaining and in my opinion can keep up with Mario Kart. I guess Sonic wanted to find out how fast cars can be and the result is impressive !
Ok that's it for now I'll be back in the next few days at least I hope so! Good night and a good time to all of you here !

I'm gonna be honest here, I'm gonna be getting this game because of Hatsune Miku.

 

[Tonberry]

I'm gonna be honest here, I'm gonna be getting this game because of Kasuga Ichiban.

 

[Deleted member 259254]

I'm gonna be honest here, I'm not getting this game because of Joker

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

I don't care about this nor any other modern games

 

[Sunnyside]

I was interested in CrossWorlds but the demo really sucked. Then to make matters worse, Robotnik's Ring Racers finally released and all my remaining interest evaporated. That's the ultimate celebration of Sega's history right there. Hope people love CrossWorlds but I've been spoiled too hard now.

Was there a new update? I thought Ring Racers came out like a year ago and I didn't like it nearly as much as the original SRB2Kart
