cobaltstarfire Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Sonic 3D blast gave me a horrible horrible headache whenever I tried to play it for an extended amount of time. It had some nice music though. Sonic unleashed is pretty much not sparking any interest from me at all, maybe the daytime levels are nice, and I'll rent it or something some day. But this is the first sonic game I've felt no compulsion to at least try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintermute Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Technically I think you could term Sonic 3d Blast as 2.5D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 on what level might you base the explanation for that technicality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Technically I think you could term Sonic 3d Blast as 2.5D I wouldn't, because "2.5d" still only really allows left and right movement (Such as in Yoshis story in certain areas), Sonic 3d Blast is isometric, you can go in many different directions (rather than just left and right) and jump.

JCvgluvr Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I believe you are mistaken Nice dodge. Whatever, I'll let it slide... Oh, and Sonic 3D Blast was 3D. You could move Sonic around on 3 axes; forward-backward, left-right, and up-down. Just because the graphics are sprites doesn't mean the control is 2D. I would expect a more informed opinion from a moderator...The Isometric Perspective is a close cousin to true 3D, but it isn't really 3D. It's as you said: With every graphic being a sprite, if you were to somehow turn the entire gameworld sideways, everything would be paper thin (ala Paper Mario). This perspective is a nice trick to look and play 3D, but it isn't true. Not to mention how horrible the IsoPer is for platformers. Don't even think of trying to make a pixel-perfect jump. This is one reason why Super Mario RPG frustrates the crap outta me! I hate the IsoPer, period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The control is 3D. It's not a "close cousin." 3D graphics are different from 3D control. The game is 3D. You move in 3 dimensions. It uses sprites instead of polygons. Big deal. It's still a 3D game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 blahblahblah Good job at reposting what I said about it being isometric, and being a self important dick all in one post! Were you patting yourself on the back the whole time you wrote that? I'm going to have to agree with what Darkesword had to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coop Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Isometric platformers are fun. I had quite a good time with the likes of Sonic 3D Blast, Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole and Dark Savior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salluz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 At first, I thought it was both silly and a bit dumb, but the end caught me. The fighting before the end was kinda' cool too. Personally, I wouldn't play this game; too cuddly; it's geared to a generation of kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have missed the earlier (and more awesome) Snake, Rattle and Roll for NES -- fun as hell to play for some reason despite the frustration it caused.

It's just a short movie that Sega decided to release in accompaniment to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I've never played it. I didn't have an NES growing up (didn't get one until around 2000), as I was an Atari/Master System/Genesis player.

Sir_NutS Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 So, I played this game yesterday. The daytime levels were near perfect for me. It was really great to see that SEGA got it this time around. They really did. Then the nighttime levels came up... fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCvgluvr Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Good job at reposting what I said about it being isometric, and being a self important dick all in one post! Were you patting yourself on the back the whole time you wrote that? Someone missed their daily recommended chill pill, am I right? I wasn't really trying to sound arrogant or anything like that. My "moderator" comment might have been spiced a little, but it wasn't anything offensive... That game is perfect.You be quiet. No game deserves that kind of worship. All I know is, I must have tried to jump on that beanstalk 50 times before I finally clung to it. Every isometric platformer suffers from this dimensional oversight. I think "Jesus Christ - video game lover" is just bad at games Here's the one who deserves the pat on the back! He figured out my name! I've never met a person who's discovered it's meaning. Quite the achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Prower Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ah, okay."Now, if the whole game had those kind of graphics..." I've been thinking that same thought since Sonic Adventure. I'd rather SEGA spend more time making the game and gameplay fun than having you suddenly stop in a middle of a Sonic speed run and go "Oooooh look how realistic the stage looks!" But that's just me. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
