Spike Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well, Sonic CD was on Sega CD... Sonic Pocket Adventure was on Neo Geo Pocket... I think it's time for Sonic HD, now that it's on hard drives. Plus, it's in hi-def. Works on two levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 It's more like the new generation gamers likes 3D over 2D. I'd say anyone who's at least like 5 or 6 by the time Playstation game out.It's like when they see 3D, it instantly cool. However, if they learn how it's really done, then they might have a different view. You can't 'recolor' a 3D model or change a hair an expect it to look 'cool'. I was 5-6 when the first Playstation came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I actually don't really have a problem with the motobug badnik, though I'd prefer it if the wheel were smaller so the motobug is lower to the ground... but that's kind of irrelevant. I DO have a problem with the fact that they made a countdown for a 3D model of a badnik we've known since 1991. They're trying to hype us on shit that doesn't matter. Do they have no shame?

Rael0505 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 wait... didn't we already see the 3D motobug in that trailer anyway? jeez this is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I did, and I'll say that I wasn't disappointed with what I saw. I actually liked the look of the Motobug.Besides, if I wanted to expect totally new badniks, I'd just go and start criticizing Sonic Advance. I already know this game isn't living up to its name, and I'd rather be optimistic than grow another headache stressing over what it should be, and will most likely never be. (and I dunno about anyone else but the cartoony look reminds me of Shuffle) Just because they're reusing stuff, to me, doesn't mean they'll make a bad game. Sonic Pocket Adventure reused stuff like crazy, and I love it. I wasn't referring to reusing stuff. I was referring to the fact that it's head looks severely flat in that animation. It's like it's just a part of the shell. It doesn't even look that much like the concept art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirs Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I still cannot see the badnicks section. And I can see the intro only with internet explorer. (Firefox failed??) FIX: Dont ask me why, I alwas was entering the sonic 4 page with this url: http://www.sega.com/sonic4/us/index.html but with http://www.sonicthehedgehog4.com/us/ all semms to work well : / SEGA failed, but also the url ...

Klonoa Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 So we waited for the countdown that was fuckin DELAYED and all we got was a shitty animation of a badnik we already know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luksamuk Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 The design isn't bad. It's just weird comparing to the older one. But the textures look pretty cool for me, since we're talking about a HD 2D game. The only thing that still bothers me is if these badniks will fit properly on the game or just look horrible like they were on the lastest trailer.

The only thing that still bothers me is if these badniks will fit properly on the game or just look horrible like they were on the lastest trailer. Nothing in the trailer was really spot-on. For instance, the Sonic 2 running sprite was the swirly legged sprite from the beta, the Sonic 3 sprite was off center on some frames, so on and so forth... I got the impression that they just slapped some animations together until the actual game footage, so I wouldn't think too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMTH3F0X Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 The small portion of the gameplay footage made me engaged. Even the graphics and the sounds. Sucks that Sonic is the only playable character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 i think they should give sonic a completely new design, so they don't re-use ANYTHING in this game. I mean it's fucking stupid to re-use old ideas in a game all about going back to basics. I mean the motobug looks almost exactly the same as the one in Sonic 1. It's like when I was so disappointed when Sonic 3&K re-used two fights from Sonic 1 and 2, even though it was intended to be a little piece of nostalgia, showing that Sega weren't forgetting their roots. It's utter bullshit and they keep on doing it. I hope Sega gets cancer and dies.Just my two cents in this topic dripping with double standards. I'm resurrecting this deleted post, because it pisses me off. Double standards? There's a difference between going back to the old style with all new content (Mega Man 9) and just rehashing old stuff while going back to the old style (Sonic 4, currently). I have always wanted the former and GOT the former in a few of the retro reboots of the past two years. I want to play classic Sonic, yes, but in new levels with new badniks, bosses, and the whole sha-bang-a-bang. I have played Sonic 1 for 19 years now. Am I going to hate this game if it turns out to be a picture perfect retro reboot with old content? No, but I'll be underwhelmed. "Underwhelmed" isn't a word that I want to use when talking about a sequel to a timeless, 16-year old trilogy. It's like when I was so disappointed when Sonic 3&K re-used two fights from Sonic 1 and 2, even though it was intended to be a little piece of nostalgia, showing that Sega weren't forgetting their roots. Those two first boss battles in Sky Sanctuary were unexpected and also BRIEF. At the end of the level, you got an all new boss to fight. Even in the X-Zone in Sonic Advance, they did the same thing. Two brief, old-school boss battles followed by a new, devilish final boss. So, go fuck your double standards. Let me know when you "can be assed" to say something important. No wonder you deleted that post. Complaining about complaining is still complaining, for the record. You're not helping as much as you think. you are.

Pheonix Gamma Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sonic 4 is doomed to piss people off. Either it'll be a copy paste of Sonic 1 with ugly graphics, or it'll be fancy new aged shit in 2D. No one will ever be happy with this unless they strike some magical balance between new and old. They won't. Cause if they could, they would have a long time ago. And Sega's been striking out with their revivals (among a lot of other titles). Not saying it'll be bad. But there's just no way they're going to please everyone with this, unless the gameplay and level design was created by Jesus Christ himself, or if they went back and made it more classic.

Daniel Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I agree with PG. Some people will love it, some people will hate it. The love/hate situation happened with Sonic Unleashed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanGameRevolver Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I agree with PG.Some people will love it, some people will hate it. The love/hate situation happened with Sonic Unleashed too. Tho loving the Werehog game-play, was not anything like loving a reboot of the SONIC franchise. It was something completely different that should of been its own title, unrelated to sonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The love/hate situation happened with Sonic Unleashed too. I don't know anyone who actually enjoyed the Werehog levels. Sonic was a mixed bag. But even then, that game wasn't trying to be Sonic 4. "Sonic 4" is trying to be Sonic 4. And it is so totally fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironrind Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 The few seconds of gameplay looked a bit interesting, although not that exciting. IMO what made the genesis series so great was that it was platforming at it's absolute best and I think it still is today. Everything was so polished, visual, music and most of all gameplay. I don't care if it's 2d, 3d, or HD. If they can just recreate that charm and creativity that the genesis games had, I might give this a try.

Not because it's bad; this conept looks better than Motobug's, at least for me. But the colors looked pretty idiot for me, if we compare again with Chopper (S1) or Masher (S2). Wasn't the jaw supposed to have the same color of the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirs Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I enjoyed werehog levels : / they have a nice combination of music and graphics and they were not boring at all. (Talking about ps2 version) And back on topic, I hate the fact that we must wait to see that things on sonic 4 site, nothing interesting btw.
