TheOcelot

Not even close

It or SA1

none of them have good stories

honestly yes, and that's sad

though I do like Unleashed's premise a bit

Yeah probably.

Change that to "all the shitty 3d sonic games" and I might agree with you.

sa1, sa2 or unleashed for me

That's not saying a lot.

no. NO.

I'd give it to SA1 but yeah there's never been a 3d sanic with a genuinely good plot soooo

NO.

No. Just no.

no

nah

Meh since I'm out of money. :/

Meeeh.

meh. I'll be busy with Halo 4 for awhile.

Meh because Persona 4 Golden.

Meh because Wii.

Excited I'm already getting 3 versions of it and I'm going to be playing with it them a lot

Meh.

Meh, because I don't have anymore shits to give after all the non-information and few disappointments.

Excited!

Meh.

Looks at all those Komodin's copycats! =P

Seriously, I'm still pretty excited for it.

Meh. Might give it a shot, but I'm not especially excited.

@Blood

Comming from the guy who's going to buy like 3 versions of it?

Another meh here, because lack of hype. I'm not getting it until Christmas anyway.

So from what I'm getting here some people are feeling 'meh' because of the lack of news and Sega decided not to hype SASRT or reveal everything about the game before release.

yes.

Definitely.

If the game is short. YES. If the game is lengthy enough and has a lot of content. Sure, as long as it's priced right.

If the 10 characters rumor is true, I wouldn't be surprised if we had some DLC characters or something like that.

no.

No.

Depends. The original ASR only had 1 extra character and track and Generations had none. I don't really get my hopes up for DLC from Sega.

Why Tmsp? the games are pretty short nowadays and if it continues, having DLC would increase replay value.

nope, not paying twice for the same game.

No.

@Blue Night is asking if you would want DLC. Not if it's likely.

If it's more than "hard mode" the sure.

@Sega Might as well not buy ANY dlc by that logic.

If it's not disc-locked and actually created post-release, sure.

Because I'm pretty sure that the DLC would be some edited stage shit like Unleashed or just stuff that could have been on disc.

Sonic Heroes

sonic

not because of emotional attachment or good stories, just because of how much of a trainwreck it is

e.t for the atari

Professor Layton

Dhoy

Mother 3. Chapter 6 was a bit of an eyeopener.

MGS3, TLOU and Beyond Two Souls.

Hong Kong 97

I can recall cracking up at Deadlight. Another PC game too, but can't spot it from scanning my Steam library...

seeing Sky Sanctuary in 3D for the first time made me a bit teary

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

If you say you didn't cry at that ending, you're lying.

Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock Burial at Sea Episode 2

also, fuck Atlas

zskyward Sword and Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time are so far the only games that have made me cry.

Skyward*

Oh, and Sonic Generations' credits made me bawl like a baby. Don't judge me.

Sonic Adventure 2, probably SS, Mario Galaxy

3,444

Somewhere around 1,960

Not enough.

634.

978

I need to do more.

Less than 200.

2,271. I have no life, apparently...

218, I really should do more.

I've been here 4 years and I've yet to hit the 800 mark. Which is funny since I'm relatively active here in terms of reading topics and participating in the status updates.

3,472 wow...

263

3000 something. If not for the wipe it'd probably be close to double that.

315.

Not bad for about 2 months of activity.

1953 for me.

4,988.

Meeeeeeeeh.

I'll wait till I see the show.

Show looks good, but meh on game.

Still kinda excited of it.

even sourer since more and more it feels like change for no reason and that everything good in it could've been applied to the right canon for even better results

The same as before: "cool."

Still hyped

Excited for the show and the game, but I don't know if the game will be any good. I also like all the characters designs (yes, Knuckles too)

Still not sure

Show looks decent, but not all that interested just yet.

Game looks awesome. I'm only a bit dubious that the combat may not be all that fun. Eagerly awaiting proper gameplay footage.

Also, concerned about how Knuckle will be presented. No issues with the others.

Visually the game looks amazing. I'm looking forward to it.

Excited for Boom; worried about the main canon.

Hyped before, new interview re-affirms my hype.

My hype runs strong!

More excited for the TV show.

Slightly excited for the game. I want to see more of the game and whatnot.

Disappointed at Knuckles and Sonic's arms being blue while Amy's arms remain not pink. No hype here since I am one of the older people here and is hesitant to major change about it.

Neither.

the game that will actually fun and good

SA2 HD since I'll actually buy that one... Unless certain peops are in Transformed...

SASRT.

neither

SA2 HD.

The one that's actually new.

Both

Since I never HAD a Dreamcast or a Gamecube to play the adventure series, SA2 HD

Transformed.

SA2 HD

SASRT.

SASRT since I don't have XBLA/PSN

SA2 HD

ASRT, because it's not a game I already have.

Jungle Joyride!

Rooftop Run

Dragon Road

Tropical Resort.

Skyscraper Scamper Day probably. Rooftop Run was really iconic though.

*insert Sonic Colors/Generations level here*

The China one.

I love Shrek.

But uh, Dragon Road or Empire City.

All of them. Okay, Jungle Joyride and Skyscraper Scamper.

The one that's a community dedicated to the guy in my avatar.

empire city

dat intro

wwwwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHbrblbltblblbltblb

They're basically all the same boost heavy level design with a different skin.

...

Hahaha, nah im joking, probably Chun-nan or Skyscraper Scamper

Planet wisp

Skyscraper Scamper is also really good.

Jungle Joyride act 1-2 DLC.

Clearly, it's the guy with Barry in a top hat for his avatar.

ALWAYS CROW

I'm fond of Crusher's avatar, but of course I'll like anything with the good Dr. Eggman's image.

Super Spindash

<-----

ahem

Diogenes has amazing avatars

Verte

I am fond of Homem's avatar.

What about me :3

As long as it isn't generic anime avatar #1,000,727, is well-cropped and sized decently with adequate focus it's cool to me. Goomy Returns' one is awesome. That Goomy is all

me

Mine and Felix's, if two of us have the same one it MUST be good!

How DARE people like anime.

@Enderwoman

It's more that everyone has an anime avatar. Eventually they just start to blend together.

It was Mania, but Forces has me more excited because of the theme song haha

Forces, even I'll likely enjoy Mania I'm no longer feeling that level of hype around it anymore

More importantly tho is is wheres dat dere kirbeh 

Mania so far is way more interesting to me.

Mania. It's first so i'd rather be hyped for a game that's sooner, than I can focus on hype more for Forces after

Still Mania and not much of a hype but rather knowing that it'll be my last ever game to play.

Forces while does look quite nice, for some reason I'm not hyped at all...

Forces by a country mile. 

Forces because I've never found any Classic Sonic game even remotely enjoyable to play.

Forces. Mania looks pretty good, but I like Modern Sonic more than Classic.

Mania.  The 3 unique gameplay styles in Forces sounds really dumb, and considering Sonic Team's track record with multiple gameplay styles...

Sonic Forces as I'm a huge Modern Sonic fan. As little information we had received regarding Sonic Forces before Thursday my excitement for it pretty much remained in tact as I was simply thrilled to see a Sonic game that as far as we know has nothing to do with Boom Sonic.

Don't get me wrong as Sonic Mania looks fantastic with so much heart put into it and I'm in love with the music especially but at the end of the day Classic Sonic isn't my cup of tea. 

Mania. Forces is another hallway game which bore me to tears. 

Forces by way of being interested in it at all.

Mania due to me being a much bigger Classic Sonic fan and the fact that, from what very little I've played of boost games, I can't say I like that gameplay style.

Forces.

The theme song is so freaking good, Im more of a modern sonic fan, and the visuals look neat!

Mania looks good too tho, the level design is my favourite!

Mania by far.

I agree with the second post.

Knuckles Chaotix is shit from top to bottom. Leave it in the garbage where it belongs.

I wouldn't mind a re-release, especially if it was done by Taxman

I disagree with Solkia, but I still don't understand why this game has been getting so much attention recently.

i don't care about chaotix

@VEDJ-F Probably because of all of the ports recently, most notably the Taxman's Sonic CD remake.

A remake wouldn't save this game's flaws.

@Zinos: I suppose, but you'd think people would want S3&K first considering that isn't on XBLA or PSN either, to the best of my knowledge.

Wait what? I though S3K was on XBLA o.o

Yes but not on PSN.

Oh. Well, that means I still don't have it then.

Solkia stop being a grumpy pants and just go with the flow bro

But it's true, I just played it.

....

you played it wrong.

I played it.

boringasfuckman

I played it.

boringasfuckman

naaaaaaay

nay

nay nay

what's the middle one?

Fuck yay.

The middle one is 'okay'.

@BenderAmy Yeah, that.

Then again, I don't have a Wii U so...

Amy???? XD

and unfortunate nay

Whoops!

I failed!

nay

Okay

Yay! Sadly I don't see myself getting a Wii U anytime soon, though. ;w;

okay

and I can garuntee that people will like Boom and treat SLW like a bad memory that never happened

With those developers, I would not doubt if it's the best Sonic game to date.

I can back that ass up Soniman.

They'd have to try pretty hard to be worse than SLW

It will do that anyways, it's a new branch to the series. People will probably be curious.

@Nintendoga

It's already happening!

gross

I feel it's too early to say anything.

sonic lost world is gonna be the best sonic yet!

I literally said SLW would be the best Sonic since S3&K when I first saw the trailer.

Boy was I off

^ Which is why it's too early to say anything. xD

It's has another development team though, comprised of Jak & Daxter developers IIRC

@Soniman

LW did a lot of things good.

Missed potential might be the best way to describe LW.

@Nepenthe

That's why I'm in my no hype clause. Because it will be a waste of time until the games in my hands. I don't even DISLIKE SLW but comparing all the hype and how everyone was excited to how generally depressed and cynical it made most of SSMB after release is the worst and I'm done with that shit

There's nothing wrong with being hyped for something. The problem is letting your hype get so out-of-control and impenetrable that you delude yourself and set yourself up for disappointment. People should stop being *totally* cynical from the outset and be happy about the games that look interesting to them, without going fucking overboard with it. There's a balance to be had.

Another shit Sonic game, because they can't escape the curse.

Nothing else I think.

I am expecting them to work hard until Mania and P17 release so they don't have many ( if any ) glitches.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine 2, ideally.

A shitty tie in movie game, for exactly the reason Solider said.

Definitely a tie-in game to the movie, no doubt.

And if by a miracle, Boom is still alive by 2018; another Boom game and if not, a another mobile game.

TCB beat to it. Hopefully it's not a shitty tie-in. 

A horrible movie that will crush Sonic reputation even more. Hopefully I'm wrong.

A drought if not a shitty tie in game 

A new Mario and Sonic game again?

A horrible tie in game*

It'll most likely be another Mario and sonic winter game or it could be another Boom game ( I know, I know, but anything is possible at this point)

Outside of possible spinoffs, a Mania sub series, mobile games or Dimps coming back out of the woodwork to make a new handheld title, I expect 2018 - 2020 to be similar to 2014 - 2016, very, very, quiet.

To be honest  I don't think the movie is coming out next year. 

Well that's a peculiar question.

No.

Verte and Chronicles.

Okay, and Secret Rings, I guess.

no, not really

if someone mentions tails and the music box i'll wring their neck with piano wiring

I associate everyone with Sonic 06

Soniman and Sonic Colors

Vizard and Tails and the Music Box

@Boost: I connected him with Heroes myself. XD

Heroes and Colors are both correct answers.

Komodin, Soniman - Colours. Nepenthe - Unleashed. DC111 - SatBK.

GANDAAAAAALF

Members seem to think of me as the Sonic CD guy, although 3&K is my favourite.

Diogenes and Sonic Unleashed/Generations

It's not THAT bad. Is it your first time playing?

I will finish Tails story next, which will unlock Big so that he can go fishing.....oh dear

This will be my second time completing a full playthrough (first time on Steam).

The annoying thing about Amy's gameplay is that, in concept, it could be really fun. You're given much more limited means of attack than Sonic and you're constantly being chased, yet the overall goal of the stages is the same. If she was faster then her stages would be really fun. Shame she only got 3 acts.

Big's gameplay is irredeemable though. It's just... ugh. Knuckles, Tails and Gamma are always cool.

True Blue Blood. The design of Amy's stages are quite good. I'm okay with her gameplay leaning much more towards platforming.

As Gamma I am stuck in Station Square. Where do I need to go start the next stage? I've forgotten.

What stages have you done?

None so far. Just a quick challenge by Eggman. So I am looking for Gamma's first proper stage.

I quite like playing as Amy. :3 Love her high jump.

I think Gamma is looking for a green frog (Big's frog I think) in Station Square. That's where I'm stuck.

Emerald Coast.

^

Damn, it never occured to me to destroy the barrier. Durrr

Thanks dude.

No problemo

labyrinth

Sonic Genesis

The gba one

Knuckles Chaotix just so it can actually recieve an official modern port.

Are we sure the whole Taxman Remaster thing isn't dead yet

I would really enjoy the MS/GG quadrilogy (1/2/Chaos/TT) getting the same treatment as the Genesis games. Incorporate the best features from each version (like getting rid of the ratchet scrolling Jungle Zone in S1 MS, but keeping the Underground Zone boss behavior from S2 MS so that avoiding the boulders is easier), make them widescreen, and provide a Sonic 3-style save feature. There could also be options to play the games as they were on the MS and/or GG, similar to how Sonic 3 Complete does it.

@Your Vest Friend Very dead. So I guess the question is, which Sonic game deserves to be dead?

Now THAT'LL take some time to compile

All of Sonic Team could use a Taxman remaster

Sonic Advances to Rush with some Rivals. The Seven-thology

I'd be happier if we could get the Sonic 1 and 2 remasters on consoles first.

Then the Advance games.

Sonic Unleashed

Rush and Battle

the advance trilogy

"I know it's going to get better later"

I played then all day nonstop, so I think that's a good thing.

>keeps trying to do the homing attack with X instead of A

Interesting. Hope I'm not disappointed.

OH MY FUCK THIS IS LIKE OH WOW MAN OH JEEZ OH MAN

"hnnnnng"

Which is ironic as now Green Hill is pretty much the least interesting level in the game.

"fuck yeah i got an s rank on my first try im so good at this game"

made me wait till the game got a price cut before I got it

Me and my bud Ted had a blast constantly trying to beat each other's times.

"These are alright for what'll be the first levels.", which is pretty much what I think of 'em now.

I never played a Modern demo. First time I played Modern was when I got an early promo copy gifted to me nearly a week before release from the lovely Dreadknux. My first impression made me happy. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the Modern gameplay, Green Hill Zone works really well. The Classic Sonic demo I really enjoyed, apart from the lack of classic physics.

I also didn't like the classic Sonic physics, but the nostalgia of the Act1 was really fun.

Hnnng! Hnnnnnnggggh! Hnnnnnnnggggghhh!

*hyperventilates into paper bag*

Hey, look! It's a giant talking egg!

Silence! I am Dr. Robotnik, the greatest scientific genius in the world!

Whatever you say Eggman

Enough! I've got big plans and now I'm gonna put them to work!

You're always up to no good, now what're you up to?

I want all the Chaos Emeralds. Better not interfere! Or else!

OR ELSE WHAT YOU BIG LOSER?!

Or else I'll take them from you by force... the hard way!

oh no

brb gonna get drunk again to forget this conversation

good thing you're oka

Yeah, time to rock and roll!

YEAH WE'RE SONIC HEROES

Generations.

SA2

Generations

Generations

SA2, Generations was... disappointing.

SA2. Generations was linear and dull.

SA2.

Both

SA2. Modern City Escape was probably one of the weakest levels in Generations. Open areas with nothing to do in them except run past them, awkward turns, bland 2D section, and a chase sequence that overstays its welcome. Boarding section was superb though.

They're about equal. While Generations is way more cinematic and pretty, it does have that 2D section that isn't bad but just feels there for the sake of it. The 2D sections in Speed Highway and Seaside Hill worked despite the stages being entirely 3D originally, but City Escape just... didn't for some reason.

I played Generations before SA2, so I am fond of Generations take on City Escape. Overall though, I just about prefer SA2's version.

@L: Linear? While I'm not a fan of the level, Modern City Escape has a lot more alternative routes over the original which... I don't think had any.

^ Yeah I was gonna say. I agree. Though I CAN understand the criticism considering City Escape Original was the first stage, and City Escape Generations is the fifth. You expect more complexity by then. ALTHOUGH at the same time, they were probably trying to capture the original feeling, and considering it's sandwiched between Speed Highway and Seaside Hill, which are both CHOCK full of alternate routes, they were probably using City Escape to have a more fast-paced, linear stage inbe...

inbetween for pacing's sake.

Nope.

Nuh-uh.

Majora's Mask

Rayman Origins and Sonic 3 are so close.

metroid prime exists

Okami.

*walks away*

Okami

Nope. Subjectivity aside, every game has at least one niggling bug in it -- humans aren't perfect, either, after all.

NIX YOU KNOW THAT WANKING OVER OKAMI IS MY JOB

Perfection itself doesn't exist, so I would say there is not.

And that's perfectly okay.

more like oBLANDmi

BRUTAL LEGEND

Perfection is not possible on any work.

unless it's Okami

Oh dear.

Too late.

okay

Can I get a "Flash" style theme song too?

*imagines Flash with Attaxx replacing "flash"*

Does it mean that I would officially be known as "Sir"?

That'd be awkward.

eh

Weird. I probably could live with the name "Mysterion".

*already uses real name as username*

Well, that's convenient.

Not too bad, sometimes when people say Crash I turn my head.

You mean it isn't already?

I would be okay with this.

I'd probably prefer that to my real name, sadly enough.

......fuck.

Yeah it's good. Though I find it hard to back to after beating. I really was only interested in the story aspect mainly.

Though the DLC helps. Makes me miss the first game however lol

story's crap but pretends to be good so people like it

has vague good serious themes it then proceeds to do nothing with so there's no bite but people manage to feel intellectual for playing it so people like it

has a disney princess waifu following you so people like it

the art direction's legit good so people like it

Yes.I take it you never played the first two in the series, but on its own even then it's a good game. Story is good but like KHCast said, I really don't have the interest to play though again.

The Burial at Sea DLC that accompanies it has the best of both worlds as it may.

Yeah, I've not played the first two games.

It's pretty good yeah

Okay, I'll give it a go.

i get the feeling kkm doesn't like this game very much

just a hunch

it's not that it's necessarily bad, it's that it's a genuine case of being overrated

in other terms, it was lauded for a series of things either previous games or, in the case of themes and all, previous movies have done better

see also: the reaction tengen toppa gurren lagann had

Mega Man 4 was pretty decent.

Halo 4 isn't a bad game.

Persona 4 is also one of the most well received RPGs ever created?

Final Fantasy 4

Mortal Kombat 4

Persona 4

that's all I can think of offhand.

Also Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, while a little disappointing was not terrible. ;3

ResE4 wasn't bad.

Street Fighter 4 is pretty cool

Sly 4

nope

Sonic 4.

Super Mario 4

Guys I think we're all forgetting about the best one, Left 4 Dead

Super Mario World's subtitle was Super Mario Brothers 4.

If you consider Origins to be Rayman 4, then that's a pretty good one.

Colors or Generations.

SA1, so I could enjoy it without knowing everyone finds it a glitchy turd. I miss being 8 years old too

Generations I guess, mostly because I spoiled everything beforehand.

SA2

Sonic 3.

Though I guess it'd be cool to play Generations without any knowledge beforehand of what levels appear.

@Neon, good point.

Generations is the only Sonic game I played with any beforehand knowledge, so that.

Generations

What Semi-colon said.

Unleashed HD, just so I could be blown away by everything there. xD

Like the horrible medal requirements?

Ha!^

SA2 so I can't think about the negatives that evceryone talks about. I miss being 8 (or whatever age I got that game) too.

SA2!
