you just commited the unforgivable sin of mixing Naruto and Korra
into the Woolie Hole you go

No! Rock Lee is awesome! Just because he's part of Naruto does not change that!

I was going to wait until we got on the topic of sonic, but I've been sitting on this picture far too long.

I've seen this picture so many times and yet it never fails to make me smile.

I wonder what would happen if one of nintendo's top tier development teams, say the one that made Galaxy, made a sonic game? Is the base concept too broken? Or could the people who made the best 3D platformers in the industry turn him around?

The base concept is not 3d platformer friendly. Colors and Generations were the closest attempts at a good formula, but it wasn't sustainable, without an injection of creativity.

The concept for sonic works fine for 2D games. 3D is where it gets a little messy. I haven't played Lost World, but that formula seems like it would work well. Just needs some better execution.

Holy shit ow. Fuck whoever made that video.

I might agree with you, if not for the gravity shit in Galaxy. Before that game came out, I would have said they were batshit for even trying to implement shifting gravity in a 3D platformer, but they make it intuitive and fun.

This is what I'm saying. It needs in-house Nintendo levels of polish to work, but I think it can be done. It's almost definitely not worth it, of course.

Gravity was done in the old Ratchet and Clank games, to a point. Gravity was also a natural evolution.

Speed is very hard to translate. Sonic can't just control like he did in the 2d days, with his pinball physics. That's not feasible. Taking the speed out of Sonic is not an idea. Again, Colors and Generations were good starting points.

I don't know what a EAD Sonic game would look like. Polish would help, but polish can't make a broken idea good. Sonic is not an easy job.

Yo! San Francisco Rush kicked ass! There was one for the dreamcast I played as a kid that was awesome.

Alright, all weapons get. Now to work on the missing Crows and Muspelheims.

Well, it's all speculation anyway. Nobody competent will ever touch Sonic again.


Old Rare could have saved Sonic.

I still think Sonic 06 is more enjoyable than Shadow The Edgehog.

 

[RecursiveFault]

I still think Sonic 06 is more enjoyable than Shadow The Edgehog.

I would disagree, but mainly because I had Shadow as a kid and don't absolutely hate it despite it being awful.

The attempt at being edgy is hilarious at the very least.

 

[Banana Aeon]

It's more enjoyable, but the game itself is functionally broken, where as Edge the Edgehog is just plain bad.

 

[ultimax]

I still think Sonic 06 is more enjoyable than Shadow The Edgehog.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I'd pick 06 over shadow also.

Both extremely terrible games, but the shadow game is so damn boring

Now, that there may be an opinion, and I'm all for bashing the awful pile of shit that is Shadow the Hedgehog, but really? With the loading screens and the horrible bugs and the town segments, '06 is still more fun than Shadow the Hedgehog, a somewhat functional game?

-SickWheelchairCombos does not recommend or endorse playing either game, as side effects may include suicidal thoughts and horrible facial scarring-

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Not only that, but the true final boss was so badly designed and it reused sounds from the previous games. At least the 06 final boss was interesting.

Shadow didn't run perfectly either... I mean we're talking "two bowls of shit, the only difference is the smell" here.

Out of curiousity, what does everythink the worst part in sonic 06 is? The story? The game play? Level design?

Oof. Gameplay or Story, toss up between the two. I'd say gameplay since I can stomach a terrible story if the game runs good.

It's the camp factor.

The worst part about 06 is the level design. It doesn't flow well. It's not cohesive. It's sloppy. Even if the gameplay was competent, the level design destroys whatever it had.

The music is easily the best part of the game. The OST is so good.
