I said that, not chrisbid so you might want to change the quote and I was referring to the Sonic franchise which Sega has ruined and you don't need a degree in game design to see that.

I agree, totally molested the franchise by developing on engine then building as random shite they can on top of, proper exploiting the name.
You can tell theyre not the forefront developers they used to be, whats been decent and new to come from SEGA in the last 5 years or so?
and imagine the board meeting when they decided to cross a hedgehog with a warewolf with long stretchy arms?!?!? theirs a reason they left the stretchy arms out the first game, cus it was gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
This whole thread is "lol". People are so sensitive about Sonic or Sega on either side of the fence. Personally, Sega has jaded me with the Sonic series. Actually, anything from Sega is immediately suspect (been that way for years). But, this did look interesting. The gifs are funny, but they haven't exactly detoured me or such. But I am going to wait for other people to waste their money on it first, to see if it is really worth it.
it is a lil' and your right anything from SEGA in a long amount of time is a bit ¬_¬
I still think they might bring this back, im kinda hopeing you can remove/turn off the homing attack that was only really needed for the 3D games and I dont feel it belongs in the 2D venture.
Il buy it, then cry into my bowl of cornflakes everymorning when it turns out to be shit.
If people aren't going to buy the game simply because of the mine cart on *one* level then let me ask this:
Would you have skipped all of "Sonic 3" because of those dumbass cylinders in "Carnival Night Zone"?
or the flying level in Sonic2..we all know it was wank.
No. I still need Sonic 3 to be on top of Sonic & Knuckles to make the most awesome Sonic game ever made: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles.Quote:

if you want badly thought out levels some of SonicCDs are pretty bad.
Truth is to everybody Sonic has atleast 1 or 2 shit levels and ideas...but the game as a whole made it bareable. No game can ever satisfy 100% people 100% of the time its just whether or not the rest makes up for it.
It's not just the mine cart level. That level just shows that whoever's making the game doesn't know wtf they're doing. A bad part of one level in Sonic 3 isn't comparable to an entire motion controlled mine cart level though.Quote:

Answer: because it can
It already is 2.5D depending on your definition... I don't care about HD sprites, I just think the 3D model of sonic used clashes with the overall design...Quote:

Wow...Quote:
I mean, honestly. Are we to assume that, say, Youtube commenters have a better idea of how to produce a videogame than people whose job it is to produce videogames in the first place? Let me just open up SONIC ROBO BLAST 2050 EXTREME EDITION (c)Game Maker Workshop 2003 unregistered edition for a moment just to check. Then I'll open up fanfiction.net in a new tab, and also check out DeviantART and all the fourteen-year-olds and their fancharacters. Because everyone's special snowflake opinions matter and anyone saying otherwise should STFU.
All I can say is Robo Blast is pretty neat... at least for what it is.

I personally don't care so much as long as the game is fun to play... details can add or detract from the experience, but it takes a lot to really kill it... However, an average to mediocre game can be made or broken on such.
Are you sure it's just one level?Quote:

Well, it's also probably because if they *don't* fuck it up by some peoples standards, it will inevitably be screwed up by another person's due to the fractured fanbase for Sega to cater to...Quote:

I mean this is supposed to be Sonic 4 not Sonic Remix. Maybe they're just doing the first episode to get fans of the Genesis games interested, though, who knows.Quote:
