I just love how Sega triumphantly announces the new game will focus on "speed". Like Any of the old "good" sonic games were about speed. They where good platformers, that's about it.
They have done some terrible games with Sonic's name lately, but since it says 2D, it's already a step in the right direction. Benefit of the doubt on this one.
there's a lot of possibilities going into this game. most of them saying that needlemouse is going to be a sonic 1 remake. there is proof, like mr. needlemouse was sonic's name before he waz a hedgehog. but wat if it's not a remake, but something else, something that every sonic fan wants to see...SONIC 4. ppl r saying there's proof to this, like the DS sonic collection only having 4 games, why 4? there has to b a reason, i know, and other ppl know that a ds can fit more MB, so...why 4?
Most Sonic games, in my opinion have little to NO gameplay depth. In the original 2d Sonics, it was all about running and jumping to the end of the level, all while trying to avoid some really cheap deaths. The 3d ones didn't change much of anything except for the perspective. still running, still jumping...
Fail.
I'm glad they got rid of all the retarted side characters. Please don't bring back Super Sonic either. What's the point?
why do I get the feeling you've missed the point a little?
It's not ABOUT gameplay depth, or at least it doesn't have to be. It's about the rush you get from playing it, and the atmosphere and design of the levels :)
For example, there are very few games that I personally can play and finish the level with a "Woah!" :)
Let me remind you of another hero with "all the benifits and no negatives :O". It's Superman. And guess what? He has NO good games out either. He's not diverse enough.
The only reason Sonic was even created was to sell more Sega Genesis' and to appear cooler then Mario. But he's not even relevant anymore. Now Sega's just makin sh_t up...
You can't have a game where you have NO weaknesses. Doesn't work.
well of course. Superman is an american classic that goes back to the 60s i mean he was apart of a new era.
sonic s rise to fame was about his games. not his manga, or TV show. his GAME so common sense would say that if sonic team made crappy sonic games. sonic would be ruined. as likewise if the writers of supes made crappy comics, Superman would be ruined. simple concept to grasp =/
You're missing the original point: My argument is that Sonic has games with major gameplay issues that I hope will be answered in Sonic 4. My reference to Superman was in response to your "all the benifits and no negatives :O" mention.
Since Superman makes crappy games, too, he is fair game when debating this topic.
I have faith in this game. As long as they don't limit characters just to Sonic and allow any character to go Super during normal stages (Wouldn't mind playing as Super Eggman or some crazy innovative thing). This is my opinion anyway.
I find it a LITTLE worrying that people regard Sonic going back to 2D as this big "return to greatness", when at the very least Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were really good fun! Personally I also liked the other 3D titles, but I can understand why some people don't.
Then please enlighten me, because what I hear people complain about is controls, cameras, glitches, and god forbid the voiceovers, all of which can be overlooked, or in the case of the glitches, cameras, and controls can be waited out, and worked around. I understand criticism, but there's a huge gap between that and b%$#&ing.
well, I always found the voiceovers very good, at the very least the first Sonic voice actor, although the newer guy isn't quite as good as still find his voice quite distinctive and stylish.
Controls, again I had no issues, possibly in Sonic Next Gen and Unleashed, not so much in the Adventure games which were both outstanding, certainly for their day.
Glitches... mainly in Next Gen.
Camera, kind of but no worse than in many other 3D titles.
Well I would play Sonic Adventure 2, but I don't have a DreamCast or a gamecube. Although that would give me some insight to the "Sonic Fan-War" that went on here on youtube...
I like both, but I've always preferred the rush I get from the 3D titles. I'll admit that titles like Sonic Rush (Adventure) are very good but.. whether they can compare to Sonic Adventure 2... I mean if you asked me that when I was really into the 3D titles (I'm playing other games more now) I would have just laughed lol :)
Likewise... I mean I grew up with Soinc 1, 2, Knuckles, and 3 for the Sega Gensis, and was really starting to like the look of the 3D titles.(Though sadly I've only played Sonic Riders and Soniuc 06.) And now Sega buckles under the pressure of the Fan-brats... I once stated in my Sonic Rant Part 2, that I would like to see a Sonic game that looks cartoony like Dragon's Lair," but that I know that won't happen.
Well see that's the thing I mean, Sonic Riders I personally loved but I know it got mixed reviews - Sonic Next Gen I dunno, I enjoyed it but I can see the problems.
I think really it's all about the DC versions of SA 1 & 2. Sonic Heroes again was pretty alright, no major issues other than it feeling like a bit of a step BACK after SA2 o.O
I think surely anyone who thinks 3D Sonic is bad full stop hasn't played levels like Metal Harbor in Sonic Adventure 2? Or Final Rush? etc etc
Yeah I see the problems too with Sonic 06, I had the game freeze up on me a few days ago. And that maybe the case, again I never owned a Dream Cast, so I never play Sonic Adventure 1, 2, or Heroes. Maybe then they'd give 3D games a chance. But another thing that irritates me, is I hear all this whining about 3D Sonic games, and yet no one mentions 3D Blast. Is that game the only exception aside from Sonic Adventure 1 & 2?
Well, 3D Blast doesn't really count, it came before the main wave of 3D Sonic titles, was on the Megadrive/Saturn, and was by Traveller's Tales, not Sonic Team. I think it's just got forgotten about a little, as has Sonic R which was also by TT.
But yeah until a 3D Sonic hater has played his way through SA2, I have no time for it! hehe :)
Well thanks for the explanation, because that factor annoyed me. But then that brings up another issue, because basically any 3D Sonic game developed by Sonic Team sucked because they didn't execute Sonic properly, or at least how fans interpreted Sonic to be. I've been guilty of this in another entertainment medium, but it annoys me when the fans feel they dictate how a game should and shouldn't be made.
I've always felt Sonic Team a fairly sturdy developer, particularly during the Dreamcast years! I would find it hard to argue with the quality of titles like Phantasy Star Online, Samba De Amigo and NiGHTS!
Sonic Team are one of my favourite developers of all time I think, they rarely put out titles I don't enjoy :)
No... I'd like to see the PS2 adaptation of NiGHTS Into Dreams released to the U.S., aqnd was thinking of mentioning that to Sega when I contacted them with the concern of them sueing me because of the similarities a character I created had to NiGHTS. And in knowing that they have Phantasy Star collection for the PS2, I may look into checking it out.
NiGHTS is pure amazing, I mean you can probably pick up a DC and Saturn mega cheap these days, plus yeah Phantasy Star Universe on 360/PS2 and that I seriously enjoyed :)
You made a character similar to NIGHTS in what though? Unless you were creating a video game with a character that was a complete ripoff I highly doubt Sega would contact you. How did they come to know about your character, and how were you making money from it, because if you weren't they have no legal interests.
He makes an appearance in a Christmas I was going to publish, but failed in doing so. But at the time when I figured my endeavor was going to be successful, I took a precaution, and sent a message concerning Noonair, and his mild similarities to NiGHTS.
The way I look at it, since the game will be 2D, that saves them alot of graphics power, so I think they'll make the levels look UNBELIEVEABLE, and make Sonic look like he did in Unleashed (not the Werehog), which was pretty damn beautiful to me anyways. BUTTTT, and QUOTE ME WHEN THE GAME RELEASES, I think this new Sonic game is gonna be SOOO MUCH FASTER than the old 2D ones.
lol wtf does that mean? cuz of the word needle? No, before they thought of the name Sonic, his name was Needlemouse, and the REAL name of the game hasn't been released yet, to the CODENAME is Project Needlemouse.
I don't know about good until sonic 3, i personally thought that sonic adventure was pretty good, also noting that both Adventure Games got considerably high sales and good scores after that(and some games in between) the plummeted
don't worry, I'm sure they won't, they usually screwed up the 3D games, they very rarely screw up one of the 2D games, and I'm sure it won't be like 06, SEGA has learned from that, just like the song Live and Learn.
whoa whoa..I happen to think that fairy tale crap is rather interesting. And new. But yeah! Bring back the old sonic. The best part of sonic were the unforgettable levels. :D
SEGA. Please. As the most hardcore Sonic fan I know (I still haven't given up hope), PLEASE make this one count. It's 2D. If you mess this up, then it's over.
the loading takes a long time XD but I like the game because Sonic looks more mature, this makes the game not seem so childish, and the game is full of action and speed and has beautiful graphics, so I like the game and I think one of the best I never cease to play a game just because the magazines say that is bad. (but play with shadow is really tedious in this game)
if you screw this up, then sonic will NEVER exist to me again. just 1,2,3,knuckles,3&knuckles,SA1,SA2(DC version), and (the greatest sonic game of all time)sonic CD. this is it sega. if you fail now, then our little blue dude with tude is all for naught.
"Speed returns?" Where did it go? Or, for that matter, when did it leave?! Everyone is all "happy happy joy joy" about this, yet does anyone remember what Sonic was first about? Platforming! Yes it was fast, but still!
People can seem to grasp anything right now! Like in Unleashed; everyone and their grandma say that the Werehog levels were bad; yes, they rip off GoW, but everything rips off something! Plus, with the out the werehog, the game would have be just one thing: Go that way.
Yeah, I haven't given up on Sonic just because of one game (Sonic 06, or whatever you call it), and I don't plan to. And to give my opinion, the only 2-D Sonic game I would consider a masterpiece is Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The others were alright, but they often blocked your speed with blocks or random enemies. I'd rather wait untill gameplay is released for this before I spend a cent.
I agree, the number one way to spot someone who didn't actually play Sonic back when it was good is that they believe the games were always about going fast. Yes, in comparison to Mario it was fast, but it was a platformer really.
I agree. 2D Sonic gameplay is really all about timed obstacle dodging and interactive props, whereas Mario's relies on precision jumping and power-ups. Level design in a good 2D Sonic game is almost never completely linear as the stages feature a number of branching paths that end at the same goal, balancing the linear progression with exploration.
All gaming reviews basically said that sonic unleashed was ruined by werehog and that the 2.5d day stages were very good. Why don't they just extend on the 2.5d day stages of unleashed.
If they got Yuji Naka back, it will break the, ah "cycle."
Now you guys do realize that the last true Sonic game, was Sonic Adventure right? You people also realize that the only reason it was good, is because its basically a clone of the original Sonice game? Sonic Adventure is Sonic 1, and Sonic and Knuckles, in 3D, that's why its good. I think SEGA is making a mistake in returning it to 2D; they hit a good formula with the first Sonic Adventure.
Now render that "world" into 3D; you basically get Sonic Adventure. Sonic Adventure, I insist, is the two best sonic games put together, and rendered in 3D
The color scheme looks the same to me. The egg carrier for example, follows the same color patterns as the final zone. The "highway" levels are reminiscent, gosh its been too long, of a level in the original sonic the hedgehog, the starlight zone I believe.
Sonic Adventure is basically knuckles and 1 in 3D dude; given the failure of the Saturn sonics, for Sonic Adventure they "went back to basics" using the best selling sonics as a model, namely, Knuckles and 1.
Believe me, I have an imagination, but i still don't see anything similar in anyway. I asked all of my friends and none of them can see anything similar either.
I liked Sonic Adventure 1 and 2's formula as well, but I think Sonic Team has proven now that they just don't know how to replicate that form anymore, so they are trying something that worked really well.
sorry, like 10 minutes i seen i was wrong, that happens because i have the ps3 turned on and i hear the cod music and the computer doesent have high volume
Sad but true. Outside of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, the rest of the 3D sonic games were sub par at best if not terrible. Hopefully they do a mix of what we see in games like Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure(Great side scrolling and character usage, using mostly speed characters like Sonic and Blaze) with the daytime stages in Sonic Unleashed(Graphics wise and speed only). In boss fights I think 3D didn't hurt but maybe they have something clever in mind for them. What you guys think?
You want a mix of flash, recent concepts that look good but are not what classic Sonic gameplay is about. Rush + Unleashed = exactly what I hope they avoid with this. Real platforming, exploring and flow please... not some doped up automated speed boost-a-thon.
If SEGA was in this So Called "position" They would be bankrupt. Millions, no Billions still buy the games. If you don't like the game Don't get it. everyone isn't going to like everything or the same thing. That's just the way the world is. I like the games and i've liked Sonic from his roots. ALL Sonic games! (Except Secret Rings). The first Sonic game I ever played was Sonic & Knuckles. I was Born in the year Sonic came to be.
Kays. Ma'am* I know everyones entitled to their own opinion and all but really? I think your one of the very few who like 3d sonic than 2d. And the only one that -I- know of.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I've never played a Sonic game before because I was too young back in the 'glory days' and have only seen his failures. Looking forward to this though!
I'm only twelve and I know better than the 16 year old douche everyone is talking about. I wish I was born in the eighties so I could enjoy the games on NES and Genesis... ;(
I have all those old systems now (atari, nes, genesis, etc.), and they are better than the games today.
When you compare SH to the classic side on 2D games such as the first 3 Sonics and Sonic & Knuckles though it's pretty bad don't ya think? This is gonna blow them all out of the water (I hope...)
I'd want you to remember that those Genesis games were sidescrollers "2D", there is no way that you can compare to those. Games like: SA, SA2, Sonic06. If I had to choose then SH would be the best game out of those 3.
Just thowing this out there, but I think this "2D Adventure" just might winding up being a Wario Land: Shake It-type deal. Not sure if it's true or not, but it's out there.
When the reservations for this game becomes available, I will buy it in a heartbeat hyped up on coke. Honest to god, if this game is truley what it says it is, name your price Sega. I will pay it!
Its a new Sonic remake of the old ones? Cool.... but, the shadow that shows in the title is supposed to be Sonic, right? to me it looks more like a mouse with the big lumps at the side for ears. Funny thing about it to, its called Project Needlemouse too. But any ways, hope the remake it good like the old ones.
I know, I was just saying that Shadow of him looks weird to me. Didn't know that was gonna be his old name, thats news to me, I didn't even say It wasn't sonic though, I just said the shadow itself, reminds me of a mouse some how, you even can see a longer tail then sonic coming from it a bit. But any ways, I already knew the game was gonna play as Sonic.
hmmm...that shadow is supposed to reprosent the sonic 1 intro screen...but it says it's "new" so it might not be a sonic 1 remake.......WHERES MY DAMN S3&K REMAKE. fuck all the sonic cd fanboys.
Hey guys, I know you are all nice people out there and I am really trying to reach my goal.. 100 subs!! Please help me and tell everyone you know. If requested, I'll sub back

jamster93 2 years ago
the loading takes a long time XD but I like the game because Sonic looks more mature, this makes the game not seem so childish, and the game is full of action and speed and has beautiful graphics, so I like the game and I think one of the best I never cease to play a game just because the magazines say that is bad. (but play with shadow is really tedious in this game)

"Speed returns?" Where did it go? Or, for that matter, when did it leave?! Everyone is all "happy happy joy joy" about this, yet does anyone remember what Sonic was first about? Platforming! Yes it was fast, but still!
People can seem to grasp anything right now! Like in Unleashed; everyone and their grandma say that the Werehog levels were bad; yes, they rip off GoW, but everything rips off something! Plus, with the out the werehog, the game would have be just one thing: Go that way.
5THedgehog 2 years ago 3
Yeah, I haven't given up on Sonic just because of one game (Sonic 06, or whatever you call it), and I don't plan to. And to give my opinion, the only 2-D Sonic game I would consider a masterpiece is Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The others were alright, but they often blocked your speed with blocks or random enemies. I'd rather wait untill gameplay is released for this before I spend a cent.
Hamy37 2 years ago 3

Gezumo 2 years ago
I agree, the number one way to spot someone who didn't actually play Sonic back when it was good is that they believe the games were always about going fast. Yes, in comparison to Mario it was fast, but it was a platformer really.
PaladinX500 2 years ago 2
@PaladinX500
I agree. 2D Sonic gameplay is really all about timed obstacle dodging and interactive props, whereas Mario's relies on precision jumping and power-ups. Level design in a good 2D Sonic game is almost never completely linear as the stages feature a number of branching paths that end at the same goal, balancing the linear progression with exploration.

If they got Yuji Naka back, it will break the, ah "cycle."
Now you guys do realize that the last true Sonic game, was Sonic Adventure right? You people also realize that the only reason it was good, is because its basically a clone of the original Sonice game? Sonic Adventure is Sonic 1, and Sonic and Knuckles, in 3D, that's why its good. I think SEGA is making a mistake in returning it to 2D; they hit a good formula with the first Sonic Adventure.
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
How the hell was Sonic Adventure Sonic 1 and Sonic & Knuckles put together? There nothing alike! Lol.
shadicthahedgehog 2 years ago
Dude, where the hell is your imagination?
Combine Sonic 1, and Sonic and Knuckles.
Now render that "world" into 3D; you basically get Sonic Adventure. Sonic Adventure, I insist, is the two best sonic games put together, and rendered in 3D
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
No...>.>

pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
Pfft. I wasn't trying to piss you off. I'm just saying that Sonic Adventure is NOTHING like Sonic 1 and S&K.
shadicthahedgehog 2 years ago
The color scheme looks the same to me. The egg carrier for example, follows the same color patterns as the final zone. The "highway" levels are reminiscent, gosh its been too long, of a level in the original sonic the hedgehog, the starlight zone I believe.
Sonic Adventure is basically knuckles and 1 in 3D dude; given the failure of the Saturn sonics, for Sonic Adventure they "went back to basics" using the best selling sonics as a model, namely, Knuckles and 1.

Sad but true. Outside of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, the rest of the 3D sonic games were sub par at best if not terrible. Hopefully they do a mix of what we see in games like Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure(Great side scrolling and character usage, using mostly speed characters like Sonic and Blaze) with the daytime stages in Sonic Unleashed(Graphics wise and speed only). In boss fights I think 3D didn't hurt but maybe they have something clever in mind for them. What you guys think?
Lunarikko 2 years ago
You want a mix of flash, recent concepts that look good but are not what classic Sonic gameplay is about. Rush + Unleashed = exactly what I hope they avoid with this. Real platforming, exploring and flow please... not some doped up automated speed boost-a-thon.

I'd want you to remember that those Genesis games were sidescrollers "2D", there is no way that you can compare to those. Games like: SA, SA2, Sonic06. If I had to choose then SH would be the best game out of those 3.
