Are we ready to admit that Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't work in 3D and never will?

[Yuzo]

that camera is way too far away in these sonic games. even in generations during the og sonic platform levels that camera was so far away and made sonic tiny as hell for no reason.

the camera being close to sonic in the original games is what gave sonic an impression of speed. it created a sense of urgency and forced you to react quicker instead of planning way ahead of yourself. just the camera issues alone man how do they not get this

Agreed, the SA games felt like on the rail runners like 60% of Sonic/Shadow missions. Don't get me started on how Heroes is in the pantheon of worst Sonic games ever.

 

[Doomsday]

The problem is in the execution. With Sonic Adventure, Sonic Team was on the right track for where Sonic's rightful place should be: An RPG-Adventure hybrid, in the mold of Zelda, Mario RPG, and the handheld paper mario games. The future of games like Sonic and Mega Man post the cartoons and lore, is to fully flesh it out in a fully realized RPG format. Until they do that, Sonic will continue to fail to reach it's full potential.

It works well, Devs just dont have the dedication to make the maps as Ill as they should truly be.

 

[Spliff]

Doesn't help a different Sonic Team makes each title. The Sonic Unleashed team was on the right track if they got a chance to do another and do away with the werehog stuff (i personally didn't mind, but general consensus is )

 

[wise prophet]

Sonic Adventures was mediocre, but Generations was good.

Sonic Boom though...I'm dying reading the reviews and seeing the gifs from this trash ass game

THIS shyt IS WORSE THAN SONIC 06

Knuckles now:

It's like they hired the sicko perv deviantart fanboys to design him

It's like they hired the sicko perv deviantart fanboys to design him

sonic really fell off the moment they decided to racialize him into a green eyed teenage white boy instead of just a blue hedgehog. its like just being that wasnt good enough. just having fun 2d gameplay thats actually fun vs just looking fun wasnt good enough.

Have to disagree with you breh. I loved Sonic Heroes.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

I haven't read a single reply but sonic adventure was solid and I enjoyed the one that transitioned between side scrolling and 3d.


Sega just seems awful at producing games these days

 

[Primetime]

sonic works in 3d. but when u fukk up so many times, at some point u tarnish the brand past the point of no return.

sonic generations and half of sonic unleashed (where he's regular sonic) shows how great it can work in 3d.. but its about 15 years too late.

shyt, what naughty dog did with crash bandicoot for his first 3 games on ps1 could've been sonic re-packaged. i.e. keep some of the speed elements when he's running towards the screen/away from the avalanche/polar bear (they had crash riding on some animal for speed.. but sonic could just stay as is) and keep the rest platforming with the occasional speed boosts thrown in. But that's if naughty dog would've had sonic back then and gave him the crash push.

at this point, he's missed the boat and nintendo buying him was the nail in the coffin. those fluffy animal games dont really seem relevant anymore anyway outside of nintendo/wii-u or smash bros

 

[Versa]

When I saw what they did to my man Knuckles's design I knew there was no going back for that series.

Radically change how the coolest character in your series looks brehs.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Colors and Generations are great games and basically proved that Sonic still got it when done right

 

[mrken12]

Sonic Adventure was great. Along with Colors and Generations. But the Sonic Boom game looks like a mess.

How is Sega going to do a half assed job with their premier iconic character....AGAIN?

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

Sonic Team didn't make either Sonic Boom game. I read a rumor that the next "real" Sonic game will be revealed next month.
