RECKENEFIN Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Didn't see any posts on this, so I thought I would contribute. Realizing Sega's current track record with reviving retro Sonic, this looks like it has some potential, whatever it is they're planning. I like how the world is a 3d version of an old Genesis world, but it's covered in dust, almost like it hasn't been touched in a while. Probably reading into it a bit much, but that's what it looked like to me. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Thoughts, theories, etc.? Quote

Gollgagh Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I am 100% sure that there is no deep meaning behind anything in that trailer this is freaking sega we're talking about Quote
RECKENEFIN Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 I guess it depends on which way they run with it. One of the theories on it was just turning the old sonic games into 3d versions with the current graphics, which I personally think would work better than their attempt at turning the 3d game 2d (Sonic 4 didn't do a whole lot for me). If nothing else, it could be a good nostalgia trip. And like I said, probably reading into it too much. Quote

Gario Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Oh shit, Sonic finally did it. He banged Amy, just like she always wanted. Either that or he did that human chick from that one game... What a twist. You know, I can see their potential hook to this game - two playable characters, so this game could have co-op. There's a big problem with that, though - co-op didn't even work back when Sonic was good, so what would make them think it'd work now? If there's no co-op (or anything to make it stand out) then it's just another rehash of Sonic that we've been seeing for the past decade. Nothing new (other than the question of who's offspring that is, Sonic and...?). Quote
RECKENEFIN Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 like into the groundWhile that will probably be the case, I'm trying to be optimistic. The last 2 console games weren't that bad, were they?. . . oh right, the werehog. Quote
Gollgagh Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 (other than the question of who's offspring that is, Sonic and...?). okay stop that as bad as this game is going to be I'll not stand you bashing classic sonic Quote
PrototypeRaptor Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Goddammit who cares anymore? QFT. can we just let sonic die already? Quote
Overflow Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 QFT.can we just let sonic die already? Ooooorrr... Just give him to Nintendo. I'd like to see what they could do with him. Quote
Modus Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Ooooorrr...Just give him to Nintendo. I'd like to see what they could do with him. Sweet! Nintendo make Sonic so awe- God dammit, sega... Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic Colors was actually rather amusing. Quote
linkspast Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic looks way better when he uses his arms during his run animation. Quote
The Phalanx Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic Colors was actually rather amusing. I daresay its the best Sonic game in a decade. It does what they failed to do for so long: be FUN. Quote
Bleck Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I thought Sonic Colours was a good Sonic game but otherwise still sort of mediocre maybe I just don't have the reflexes to enjoy it Quote
DrumUltimA Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I liked the trailer. I was thinking "okay, you can use the new sonic model, but just make this good." And then I saw the old model. Hopefully they won't kill him too Quote
RDX Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I like how some people think the smaller Sonic is his kid. And what's sad is they're probably right. Quote
Salluz Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 That picture never ceases to crack me the Hell up. Quote
AkumajoBelmont Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I thought Sonic Colours was great. Awesome fun without the tacked-on BS as is norm. Can I just say, the old Sonic in the teaser looks frikken awesome. Sonic needs his black eyes back. They're uber-adorable. Quote
ArmadonRK Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I daresay its the best Sonic game in a decade. It does what they failed to do for so long: be FUN. Almost, but not quite. Sonic Adventure 2 released just under ten years ago, making that the best Sonic game in a decade. Didn't we already do this when Sonic 4 was coming out? I swear I've vehemently advocated the underrated SA2 before. It's okay though, we can go through it again for the next Sonic announcement as well, we never seem to get tired of it. Quote
Tensei Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic: Unleashed was actually good if you discount the werehog levels (seriously, don't tell me wasn't fun). Sonic Colours was basically Sonic Unleashed without the werehog levels, so it was a good, if a bit short game. I think cautious optimism could be warranted this time around. Quote
The Phalanx Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic Adventure 2 released just under ten years ago You're getting away on a technicality there, you jerksock. And while I don't MIND SA2, it was a schizophrenic mess that needed some serious mechanical polish and a more refined level design. Also no racing levels, goddamn they were terrible. Quote
