Spiderdrake posted:Sonic 4 looks totally fine if you're just looking at a youtube video. Youtube has been compressed and lovely for so long your brain just kinda turns off on evaluating things. You can't notice the physics either, not if you don't know to look for them. I dunno man, I don't find it to look fine at all. When S4 was announced I looked at the jumps and thought the physics didn't look right and I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one but for every person who complained about it a different reviewer dismissed it as "just not being the same as the old games". It's like there's no gravity and every curve the character makes is a pre-defined parabola. Just watching the first 30 seconds of Cybershell's videos and you have the weird weightless jump, the walking animation that looks like he's skating and a bunch of oddities. You know, things that look wrong in comparison to any platform game. Sure I know how to look for them but good lord are they jarring.

I really loved the game but I feel like I could rant for a while about its flaws and nitpicks. Also this game gave me hardcore Megaman vibes for some reason.

How about three acts but the second act changes depending on the route taken in the first. This way no single playthrough of the game is tiresome, but there are three acts for people wanting more of each tileset to play.

I'll be super happy if Forces end up good, but every video I've seen so far makes me think that the whole thing is riding hard on Mania's success and if it came out of nowhere the reaction would probably be far more negative than it is. The level design and graphics look like a huge step back from Generations.

Zelder posted:That was sarcasm you silly billies Fair, but Poe's law and Sonic's fanbase go hand in hand. Gammatron 64 posted:People always say that "Sonic fans don't know what they want", but anyone who says that couldn't be more wrong. Sonic fans have always known exactly what they want. And that is either a new game that plays like Sonic 1/2/3K/CD or they want Sonic Adventure 3. Sonic is a game almost entirely defined by its level design and Sonic 4, Sonic Forces and a bunch of other Sonic games, even passable ones, miss that mark entirely. Christian Whitehead gets it, yeah. I'd like to see something official by LakeFeperd as well. Sega hasn't had a stable growth in revenue for a long while and that's not surprising when they're releasing passable games that have no lasting appeal to young adults and older long-time fans. Nintendo in comparison gets that it should always have some of the basics going on to support its attempts at gimmicks or reinventing the wheel and has a pretty varied collection, advertises targeting young adults and families to get as big a chunk of the market as possible, and so on. Even now I still feel that Sega hasn't really figured out what it wants or needs to do with the Sonic franchise. The fact that Sega treats everything that has a remote connection to the word retro as a homage rather than an actual line of products is super weird given that every other big company used the distinction between successful genres as a way of expanding their portfolio rather than limiting it.

Yeah AtS has a very good soundtrack. While we're making wishes that will never come true I'd like Sega to make a better use of Fumie Kumatani.

Pomplamoose posted:I don't think LakeFepard really "gets it" the way the Mania team do. I mean his games are good by the standard of fan games but I don't think he really understands Sonic on a structural/mechanical level the way Taxman and co. do and I can't think of anything his presence would bring to the table. I think the Mania team does it well but I don't think LF is unworkable with. I think AtS was the first game I played after S3K that looked like someone got the idea that Sonic stages can have gimmicks unique to them without affecting the overall structure of the game and to be honest I liked some of the ideas and themes a lot. Not as much as S3K or SM but I found it pretty enjoyable. As for Freedom Planet, it really is not my cup of tea.

Gammatron 64 posted:A lot of people are like "it should be obvious what to do in a game and you shouldn't have to read the instruction manual and its bad dated game design otherwise". "Such and such thing is 'dated'." Being intuitive in general is a good aspect for everything human-related but people conflate "dated" with whatever it is they don't like anymore. Together with the word nostalgia which pretty much has a negative connotation nowadays. As for manuals, there's always the Afterlife guide which holy poo poo might as well be a better product than the finished game itself.

MikeJF posted:Never played Afterlife, but see also: SimCity 2000, SimAnt, other Maxis games. I had those and their manuals were all wonderful. It's hard to find a pdf of the Afterlife manual. Apparently it had two, a short one, and a really long one that contained a bunch of background story and the flavor text of every building in the game. Half the buildings were ironic punishment dispensers in hell and the flavor text was really amusing since it was written with a comic tone. Then there's the story of this angel who was so annoying that he got banished to hell, then was so annoying in hell that the powers-that-be turned him into a sentient rock because he was not very grateful for having senses, going so far as trying to make hell worse because he didn't feel the torments he was undergoing were bad enough. The story is told in multiple parts based on each building he built in Heaven and Hell to "improve the experience".

The more I hear about this movie the more it sounds like Sega is trying to compete with Nintendo in the 90's again, only they're competing directly with the Mario live action movie for no real reason, as if it had been very highly praised in the first place.

I'm not saying the movie is good or bad, I'm just pointing out that given its reception it wasn't exactly a reason for the people who invested or worked in it to be proud of their decisions, and a lot of them have been pretty open about it. It shouldn't be too hard to see how a Sonic live action movie sounds jarring and the whole idea goes hand in hand with the same mindset of the company that lost so much market presence over their business decisions in the 90s. But sure loving it is probably galaxy brain in 2018. Elentor fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jun 30, 2018 |
