Robotnik Nudes posted:The two messages being "That which is missing" and "Not everything is black and ____" makes me feel pretty confident they're setting up to announce they got Jaleel White back to voice Sonic. They expressed some regret about not getting him for Classic Sonic in Generations so I bet they're fixing that in the sequel Or maybe Sonic Boom is doing a crossover episode with the Archie comics setting? Who knows

 I can't confirm it's accurate but supposedly this easter egg shows up in the new Deus Ex.

The homing attack is a really crappy mechanic for 2D Sonic games.

Stairmaster posted:is sonic megamix truly the best the rom-hacking community ever produced? The best romhacks, IMO, are always small, like new characters, new mechanics, or single levels. When you get to the full game level the game design seems to always suffer from the hugeness of the project. Megamix might be the best "Here's our own sonic game!" hack out there, though I haven't played much of it to form an opinion on.

it's like above sonic advance 2 and below sonic advance 3 in terms of level design. Granted I did not play the leaked version 5.

Sonic 4 episode 1 is probably the most depressing sequel I've played in years. I was playing it parallel to After the Sequel, and it's just shocking how the fan game - which isn't great, mind you, but it's one guy and an imperfect physics engine (or at least it doesn't feel right after playing S3&K) - is actually more like a real sequel. Sonic 4 is just desperate for you to try to connect with nostalgia it only pays lip service to. It looks like a cheap knock off of a Sonic game without any of the style it isn't directly lifting, and it rehashes fights and ideas in a really weird way given the physics and visuals are so different. If they were trying to make classic Sonic, why is it modern sonic with that weird homing attack and weird physics? The most confusing, if super spergy example, is how Sonic reacts to cresting a hill. In S3&K you go over the hill and inertia carries you. In S4, you're supposed to react by doing a failed homing attack, which propels you forward. It feels completely contradictory. I'm not saying it's bad or good, just, it really doesn't feel like they aimed for nostalgia at all. Except with poo poo like rehashing the already tedious Sonic 2 boss fight but making it longer and that kind of boring where you start making mistakes. I'm glad the thread recommended ATS though, it's not fantastic, but it does push some of the right buttons. The level backgrounds and sort of general style remind me a lot of Sonic 2 / CD. Very techno-organic, which CD had in spades, and most of the music is well done. It's a good framing device for what Sonic 4 should have been, even if it's not as good as Sonic 2 or Sonic 3. Sonic 4 just makes me feel like someone is screaming in my ear "Hey!?! You liked Casino Night Zone!?! Well here's Casino Night but made with cheap eastern european clip art!" I don't even like Casino Night zone anymore

The only sonic characters i really dislike are cream and charmy cream because she has like no reason to do anything like she's not a hero or aventurer or anything and charmy is just beyond obnoxious in sonic heroes but that game had a real problem with repetitive voice clips anyway. the rest of the sonic cast are basically DBZ characters and it's great.

you'tre right i should have clarified. offish sonic games post 1994. though you can be forgiven for not knowing that if you were born at or after that time period. it's like the star wars prequels. dumb kids who were little then probably like them but they just don't know any better.

The only thing I want from a Sonic game is Crush 40 buttrock forever. I don't even care if we get a weirdo shitfest of super serious hedgehog romance again, as long as we get some mad guitar squeals and lyrics about important life lessons from the heart.

I'm really not that fussed about Sonic having a big cast. Not all of them need to be playable in each go around. Really though, they should always be on deck as skins. Like there's no real reason to not have Shadow and Blaze as Sonic skins for the people that like them. I like having Shadow around as the rival since Knuckles can't go back to that role since Sonic Adventure 2. I like Amy. I only really hate Charmy. Even Rouge and Cream can exist in the land of cutscenes and filling the background. They can also be Knuckles and Tails skins if you're a person that enjoys them. The idea that Sonic's cast existing is what made the games poor and that Sonic games can only be good if they feature Sonic and Amppelix posted:I'm playing Sonic Adventure again. I still really enjoy the perspective switching storytelling it has. Especially when it leads to hilarious moments like the part where Gamma captures Froggy. In Big's story, the frog gets snatched right out of his hands. In Gamma's version? Big isn't even there. You just find the frog hanging around. So, apparently Big was so un-noteworthy that Gamma didn't even notice him while snatching it out of his hands My favorite is in Tails' storylines since they are so "Me too!" which totally fits his character. "Well if it isn't Sonic...and Tails!" I'm sorry nobody cared about you in the first go of things, lil buddy.

And then Sonic just give him this glare like "no poo poo I saw it dumbass". "I hate it when he doesn't listen to me." Tails you precious dweeb.

I've got a long plane ride coming up in a couple days and I could use some Sonic to keep myself busy. How are Rush Adventure and Colors DS? I remember hearing mixed to positive things about them, wasn't a huge fan of the original Sonic Rush though.

I liked Rush Adventure, but it has a lot of sailing between islands that is largely filler and it prominently features a proto-Sticks called Marine. Rush is a much more pure experience, so if that didn't grab you then Rush Adventure probably won't. Haven't played Colours DS so I can't help you there, but I imagine it probably holds up better since it doesn't require you to laboriously fill in the map via a boat.

Yeah, Colors DS is basically the 3rd Rush-style game, but with wisp powers. I remember it being alright, but if you weren't a huge fan of Sonic Rush 1 maybe try something else?
