  3. What if Sega Gave Sonic 4 Another Shot?

    in Sonic & SEGA Discussion

    Posted

    @Betaman: Why not give the remakes a shot? They're great.

     

    @Serephim

     

    1. I considered it a trend when i was a little kid. (it took me 2 years to figure out that you could plop open the top of sonic and knuckles and stick sonic 3 in there to make one big ol game.)

     

    5. lol

     

    7. I'm talking like lan business with IP's and stuff. Completely different screens. I wouldn't even want local splitscreen in the game.

     

    9. I know he did, but they were always very small. Tails cannot fly forever, but knuckles can potentially climb up forever, provided there are no obstructions. Marble garden (act 2 I think) demonstrates a place where knuckles can get where tails can't.

  8. What if Sega Gave Sonic 4 Another Shot?

    I'm really curious. If sega were to completely disregard Sonic 4, and started over in the vein of the originals, what would you like to see?

     

    RULES: Answer the questions in order, with a short response (if you want). You may discuss more in depth AFTER you answer ALL the questions. Unless you have already answered all of the questions, you may NOT make a regular post. This is a survey of sorts, please take it seriously. If you wish to not answer a question, or don't care which choice, please put N.A. by the number.

     

    I will try to keep every question no more than one line long. So here we go!

     

    1. Should the resolution be the same as the genesis games for the classic feel, or should it have widescreen, ex. the recent Sonic 1 & 2 remakes?

     

    2. Should it add 4 more zones, just like the originals? (S1: 6 Zones, S2: 10 Zones, S3&K: 14 Zones) Or keep it at around 14 because 18 is a bit much?

     

    3. Should it add a brand new character with a new ability? (Ex. S1: Sonic. S2: Tails. S3: Knuckles & Abilities.) Or should it keep the classic trio?

     

    4. Should the sprites be kept similar to S3&K, like Sonic 2 did to 1, or should they be completely new, like Sonic 3 is to 2? (Ex. Sonic 2 = Edited Sonic 1 Sprites. Sonic 3 = Brand New Sprites. Sonic 4 = Sonic 3 sprites, Edited Sonic 3 sprites, or Brand New?)

     

    5. Should the graphic style be kept like Sonic 2 (darker colors) or Sonic 3 (lighter colors)?

     

    6. Should the game feature act transitions like Sonic 1/2 or act transitions like sonic 3?

     

    7. Should the game have local multiplayer/Co-op via seperate systems? Should it have online multiplayer?

     

    8. Should Sonic be able to trigger Tails Flying like in the Sonic 1/2 remakes, or keep it like Sonic 3?

     

    9. Should tails have his own specific, optional paths that only he can get to?

     

    10. Should Knuckles have separate bosses from Sonic (& Tails)?

     

    11. Should the game keep the boring tradition of starting with a bland green hill zone clone, or start with something completely new?

     

    That's about it. I may add more questions if they pop into my head. I will now demonstrate how you should answer. (spoilered for space saving)

    1. Same Resolution as Genesis.

     

    2. Keep around 14-ish Zones.

     

    3. Classic Trio.

     

    4. N.A. As long as they don't use modern sonic, or sprites below S3 for consistency's sake.

     

    5. Sonic 2.

     

    6. Sonic 3 Transitions.

     

    7. Maybe local competition, definitely local co-op, Maybe Online Competition, No Online co-op.

     

    8. Sonic should be able to trigger tails flying and hang on.

     

    9. Yes.

     

    10. Maybe a few

     

    11. Something New.

    I personally don't like most  sonic alliteration. I find it limiting, and kind of annoying. I think they should be 2 words that tell it exactly for how it is: Lava Reef, Marble Garden, Chemical Plant, Fern Valley, Sky Sanctuary, Quartz Garden.

    (Pls don't use fern valley and quartz garden, those are in my game)

    Things that aren't alliterated in purpose are OK though, like Oil Ocean

  12. Directional Actions? (I don't know how to word it)

    in Game Project Assistance

    Posted

    Do this instead: Add another one to the first condition set that says: Direction of ( "Player_MovementValues" )=1

     

    Then, in your second condition, change ">=7" to:

     

    TopXSpeed( "Player_MovementValues" )+Direction( "Player_MovementValues" )

     

    Then, copy and paste it.

     

    In the second one, change direction from 1 to Negative 1 (-1).

     

    After that, start a new line, and make this:

     

    XSpeed <=7
    Or (Logical)

    XSpeed >=-7

    Or (Logical)

    XSpeed =0

     

         -Set TopXSpeed to 6

     

    For the angle of the boost effect:

     

    Always:

     

         -Set Angle of ( "Effects_MiniBoost" ) to Angle ( "PlayerSkin_Sonic" )

     

    To get the boost effect to face the same direction as sonic:

     

    Direction ( "Player_MovementValues" )=1

     

         -Set Direction of ( "Effects_MiniBoost" ) -->

     

    Direction ( "Player_MovementValues" )=-1

         -Set Direction of ( "Effects_MiniBoost" ) <--

     

    I usually won't just straight up give people answers, i usually hint them, but you seem a decent level more advanced than the usual beginner, so I went ahead and gave you full detail. What I've told you is the gateway in to doing some really cool and advanced stuff in MMF2, and I think you can handle it. I figured I'd show you it's there and opens many possibilities.

    SUPER MARIO FREAKING WORLD.
     

    UGH.

     

    I played super Mario World for the 1st time last week on my Wii U. I got it free via club Nintendo. I saw it on the list, and i got SUPER hyped, I have always heard such good things about the game!

     

    Oh boy. The controls are crap. The graphics are crap. The sound, ESPECIALLY THE SOUND, is just BAD. I DO NOT see why people make such a hype around this game. I wasted like 200 coins on this!

     

    Sonic 1 and Super Mario World came out around the same exact time. Sorry to break it to ya buster, but the SNES is WAY more capable than the genesis. Sonic 1 blows SMW OUT OF THE WATER. The graphics are better, the gameplay is more solid, everything about it is better, IMO, and Sonic 1 is one of my least favorite sonic games.

     

    I'm just disappointed that it doesn't live up to what the SNES can do, and that so much hype surrounds a relatively lackluster game. This is the 1st Mario game I've ever DISliked.

     

    Edit: Got Super Metroid via Club Nintendo 2 weeks ago, I LOVE it. I never got to experience all these SNES games as a kid, since I grew up with a Genesis. I've beaten the game twice already, and I'm still playing.

  19. Sonic Boom Video Game (Wii U/3DS)

    After watching this, my mind has changed a bit.

     

    I actually like it. I might get the game now. It honestly looks pretty promising. I watched the video with the mindset I had as a little kid: SHIZ'zs AWESOME.

     

    Seriously, I'm not that excited, and I most likely won't get it, but this is PERFECT for the target audience, and that's what they're going for. They're not aiming towards the core fanbase in the slightest. This is 100% for kids. The show is for kids, this is the game that goes with the show.

     

    I could go on, but I feel enough has been said.

    Honestly, I feel like we (the core sonic fanbase) are afraid of change. I don't like the designs, but they aren't bad in others eyes. My best friend plays just about as much sonic as I do. When I asked this friend about the designs a few days ago, he said he could care less about them. He just sees the game as another sonic game. The casual fanbase DOES NOT notice the stuff we notice AT ALL. It's really only us who notice these things, no one else cares... It's like when I was a little kid, I didn't even notice sonic changed between S3K and adventure. I was little and I just wanted to play sonic! I could care less about the change.

     

    Anyways, the point is, that while these may not be the best designs ever, they're not bad either, and I feel were just "afraid" of the change.

  21. Sega Genesis Model 2 Video Problem

    Sorry, I just skimmed over the OP, didn't catch it. 

     

    Did you even read the whole post? Because I specifically stated that I tried an old tube TV and a flat screen smart TV.

     

    Like Taz said, I recommend being more polite around here. You could eliminate the entire first half of your sentence and it would have sounded just fine. "I specifically stated that I tried an old tube TV and a flat screen smart TV."
