Aaron C-T Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I dont care about what people use to do here while its about something that people didnt think too much.With screens you can complain about graphics, with videos, about level design and gameplay, but for the gameplay... you cant know for sure if you'll have fun with it or not. 1. Video footage of gameplay is akin to someone playing the game. I doubt you can honestly tell me that you've never watched a friend play a game and made a value judgement (that looks boring, that looks fun, etc). 2. It's not what people "used to do" it's what is done. Waltz on over to the General Fangame Discussion and take a look. And the second you said "with videos, about level design and gameplay,..." you've already acknowledged that there's truth to it. Sure, you can't know for sure, I suppose but then again: 3. I'd like to think that after nearly 21 years of living I've grown to have a pretty good understanding of the kinds of things I enjoy. I've played a lot of Sonic games and I generally know what does/doesn't work for me in a Sonic game. Weak argument is weak, man. Edit: Whoops, didn't notice there was another page or I wouldn't have repeated some of what Sereph just said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 The problem with the delay? We get to deal with this even longer now. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Haha, fair enough- moving on. Does anyone have any idea how the iPhone version will work? I can see the mine cart/rock gimmicks working with the accelerometer, but am doubting how useful that will with normal gameplay. I'm guessing just buttons.. where is Taxman?

A lot of friends tell me that that game is shit without playing it. Cuz is hard to 'play as alien' or have bad graphics... But tremulous is one of the best open source games available for windows and linux. It's really fun when you learn to play it and when you play it with friends. But people dont believe this while they didnt play it yet. Sometimes bad judgements happens. OK Moving on too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletdark Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Woudn't it be amazing if the iphone version was 16-bit? (Most definately not going to happen but, hey I can dream can't I?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Well we still don't know what Taxman was up to, though I have a feeling whatever it was is dead in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 how many things is Taxman doing jesus Didn't he like recreate the entire engine from the Genesis games for Nexus? He was doing something for the Iphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletdark Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hell yeah man! The retro engine he made is compatible with the iphone. I always wondered why he didn't release sonic cd for iphone on cydia. Oh well, Im sure he had a good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Taxman had that video of a port of Sonic CD PPZ running on the Iphone. It was kind of a hey this is better than your lame emulated port of Sonic 1 and it used his Retro engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, sadly, but you never know, right? And even so, he can get a lot of mileage from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Taxman Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Oh hey, people talking about me! I'm not involved in Sonic 4 iPhone or otherwise so uh... sorry? I am working on some awesome stuff though, which I can't discuss publicly (NDA) so sorry again? You should see at least one of the things I'm working on this year though so stay tuned.

Epon Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 You should see at least one of the things I'm working on this year though so stay tuned. Was about to PM you and see how things were going, but I figured NDA was still hung over your head. Soooo let's weed some info out of you. Are you now proficient in Objective-C? Are you enjoying the iPhone OS4 SDK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirs Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Nice. I've made a feedback thread on Sonic4 forums in the point of view of someone that have a lot of experience in making sonic games with Game Maker and someone who have played all 2d Sonic games and someone who is 19 years old. Every answer lacks of any time of reasoning. Why am I still on that forum if i hate morer or less every member of it? -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serephim Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 No need for Insults, Geona. Nice.

Every answer lacks of any time of reasoning. Why am I still on that forum if i hate morer or less every member of it? -.- ....yyeaaaah i've never seen one of your sonic games before. For all we know you could make games just like Sonic 4. And if you can't tell, around here it isnt much of a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirs Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 You can take a look at Sonic REX engine for GM =) I make engines, no games, cuz I'm not a good artist. I'm also studying computer enginyeering. I mean, I know what I'm talking about in terms of making games, and more about sonic. But talking from reasonability, everyone just seems not to have brain. And Geona, that kind of question I made is just a retoric one. I'm on the forum cuz I like sonic and i'm excited about sonic 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 fair enough. I take what i said back anyway. If you made a game like Sonic 4 i'd be highly, highly impressed. Its that SEGA made Sonic 4 thats the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuma Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I', willing to bet the iPhone version is 2D. In any case, I'm glad they changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
