Recently played through SA1 for first time in almost a decade with all of the Dreamcast conversion stuff (which is a godsend, btw). At its best, the game is really only okay. I think "janky" would be the best way to describe my thoughts on it with a single word.
Despite this, I actually enjoyed the game a lot more than I was expecting to, and I feel like it carries this unintentional sense of charm that I don't see Sega ever managing to replicate (even SA2 lacks it, imo). Overall, the game was a decent experience, but it's not the type of Sonic game I'd like to see a modern sequel to (personally prefer Sonic games to be a bit more arcade-styled in structure). I would, however, like to see a legitimate return to Sonic's SA1 style of gameplay. He's pretty fun to mess around with in this game.

Good shit right here (though I think 2 has a lot more rememberable pieces 1 has some standout pieces)
All the more reason why 3 was a let down

I'll tell you what Sonic game that really needs a remake/remaster...
 

There's a part of me that firmly believes that fans love the large supporting cast for what they could be rather than for what they actually are.
Because man, when you stop to think how they've been used, Sonic characters are really kinda terrible lol.

I really hope the "in-level dialogue" stuff is dropped for future games. It wasn't enjoyable in Lost World largely because the Deadly Six were boring, unfunny cliches, and it isn't enjoyable in Forces because everyone either spouts empty dialogue at each other, states the obvious by describing what is happening on screen, or needlessly reminds you of what your objective is supposed to be (even though SA2 already did this more efficiently by providing a short blurb on each level's title card screen). Colors is the only one of Kishimoto's games where I feel like the in-level dialogue actually works because Eggman's announcements actually feel like they're a part of the environment (the fact that you can typically run past each announcement before they've even finished adds to this).
At least they give you an option to turn it off.

Sonic Forces? More like Sonic Four Outta Ten!

My favorite function in Odyssey so far is the camera function. Being able to actually stop everything at a perfect moment is a great idea and something I think they should consider retroactively adding into Breath of the Wild, since that's pretty much already got most of the infrastructure in there.

can forces just go ahead and leak already i'm getting bored

=P

Can someone explain why some people seem to have this undying hatred for achievements? I get not caring about them since they don't really add anything of value, but I'm not seeing what their inclusion takes away either. They just kind of exist, imo.

Not bad, if I do say so myself

Woah,  you've got a new avi on!

I'll never understand people who say they hate Sonic R's soundtrack. It may be a bit weird for Sonic, but it's still pretty nice on its own.

Sonic Mania is the second best Sonic game for me and flirts with being the absolute best pretty often. The only thing I really don't like is stuff being locked behind Blue Spheres

It's kinda hard to believe that Forces is releasing just a little under two months from now. I think I've become more interested in hearing how the last four years of development went than I ever was regarding the game itself.

You know what I'd like to see? A Donkey Kong 94 Remake. Nice Artstyle, full color, same awesome gameplay. I'd like that.

Paul Veer, sprite artist for Mania, did a couple of original Sonic sprites for practice:
Bring these guys back for another game, SEGA. All of them.

Holy moly I'm amazed.
