Sonic the Hedgehog: What Went Wrong? Pt. 1

[bardhi09]

I disliked this vid.3D sonic games can work(examples Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2).Dont get me wrong my favorites are the Classics but its bullshit to think that just becuz its in 2D its gonna be good cuz its not i mean just look at Sonic Rush Series that sucks all you do is run with no platforming or exploration(The classics had Exploration).And look at Sonic 4 that sucked too Horrible Physics,Horrible Level Design etc.

"Back in the old days,Sonic was a fast-paced momentum-based platformer.He didn't do much exploring becuase there wasn't enough time.Sonic was always on the go."

BULLSHIT

We all know The Genesis Games had alot of exploration and lots of alternate paths you can take ESPECIALLY SONIC 3 AND KNUCKLES the levels were so LARGE.YOU KNOW NOTHING.

The problem is that there are too many gimmicks in the new games. Sonic recently just focused on gimmicks and speed. The reason why the gimmicks are there is that it makes the games long. example: they add more playable characters, turn sonic into a werehog, arm him with a sword, etc. I guess you can say that sega adds gimmicks to make the games longer. And since sonic is so fast the levels have to be long. That creates a lot of work for developers though. But I'm not making an excuse though.

im a hardcore mario games but nintendo were lazy on some games so i dont buy them all, i even was not impressed with super mario galaxy

[GuitarT7]

the only sonic 3d game ever was sonic heroes (i also liked sonic R and the sonic rider series) but the other sonic 3d games were garbage

[PlatinumRevolution2]

If anyone played sonic unleashed the side scrolling parts of the stages were terrible. The only good 3D games were sonic adventure 1 and 2. Now that there is wii ware sega should make a retro sonic game like capcom did wit mega man 9 and 10

people who deny sonic's new found failure rate are likely children, who dont care, let alone have any reason to care, about the actual gameplay.

[shoopdawoop70reviews]

@chickenfetusnarr STEREOTYPE!! I am a child and the ONLY thing i care about is gameplay, graphics are just an afterthoguth.

[chickenfetusnarr]

@shoopdawoop70reviews There are always exceptions to the rule.

what truly made the old games great? the classic sonic games had the factor of puzzle type gameplay on top of the platforming. yes there was speed, but you had to figure out HOW to go fast. speed was the puzzle. in making sonic adventure sega made one mistake: they lazily took the puzzle factor out of speed, by putting dash panels everywhere, and now they have to add a new gimmick to each game to keep the puzzle factor in. basically, they split the gameplay. the destroyed the SUCCESSFUL formula

[chickenfetusnarr]

but when you think about that its no surprise how badly sonic's success has faded. (I'm not talking about sales either, as we all know how good sega is at making REALLY bad games look fucking amazing prior to release.) mario stayed to his formula, while sonic strayed. mario = still on top

Sonic works fine in 3D. Everyone was amazed with Sonic adventure when it first came out. Im not a fanboy that just accepts everything from sonic. Because i pretty much hate everything after sonic the hedgehog and 2/4 of sonic adventure 2. But you saw how fast he was going in adventure and the fit the platforming in there fine. all of his stages had good platforming in them. It worked in 3D in adventure and it can definitely work. Seriously we moved out of 2D ( i like 2D) but i like 3D more.

[bardhi09]

@icetray123 I agree i love the Adventure Formula(hate the Unleashed one) though i do prefer the classics more cuz you dont know what you can do and how much fun you can have in them when you master the physics.

Both 2D and 3D are good none should be dismissed.Sega has to get 3D right though(Dump Unleashed Formula and Improve upon Adventure Formula)

[SantuXD6]

oh, u mean 3D view with 2D side-scrolling?

because that would save him

[gluetube365]

I completely agree with you!
