Stop bitching and play Sonic Generations.

@kirbyfan1005 Uh, since Classic Sonic is now the Sonic of the past, and Sonic 4 takes place right after Sonic 3, it'd only be logical to use Classic Sonic.

@SuperAwesomeTiago Agreed.

@NUTCASE71733 I'm not asking for a Sonic 1 rehash,I hated Sonic 4 because of that and physics.I want something new that expands on why Sonic was famous.THE PHYSICS.That's what made him special.In order to be fast in the old games,you didn't have to just hold a button and watch the game play itself.You had to know the game and acknowledge how it played.The old games were famous for a reason,which Sega threw off the garbage with "new gameplay" that is not Sonic.

@SuperAwesomeTiago

And classic fans have no idea what they're talking about either. The sonic series can't be made of Sonic 1 rehashes like you idiots beleive it should be.

Ya see, this is why sonic will fail. Instead of the fans being glad to have a good sonic platformer with no gimmicks, they whine and moan about how "the momentum is off" or "his eyes are green". seriously, the game was great and only cost 10.00!

@HyperSonicXtreme Yeah because Sonic Generations (especially the 3DS version) doesn't have problems of it's own.

Im pretty amazed with Sonic BTS. It is really the best sonic thing i have played since sonic & knuckles... i lost interest for sonic games until that when they became 3d and yadda yadda.

[Shadownnico]

Dimps, you used to be cool at making sonic games. What happen to you?

[khayal101]

If you people like terrible games good for you, but I don't play terrible games so I will continue to complain when they take a good game and make it generic and lame, DIMPS SUCKS!!!

[SuperAwesomeTiago]

This IS imporant.The reason Sonic was famous back then was because he was fast,and to be fast in the Genesis games you had to use momentum and physics,instead of holding down a button.Sonic isn't fast because of speed boosters and springs,he's fast because of the momentum.You modern fans have no clue what you're talking about.

@Fractorification Dimps doesn't SUCK at making Sonic games, people are pretty anal about how they make the games though. I, for one, highly enjoyed Sonic Rush, even though Adventure and Generations seemed stale to me because of the Dimps formulaic way of making them.

But that's just an opinion, no big deal :)
