Sega Nerds

Positive experience of Sonic Wildfire?

I’ll just say what’s true: Sonic 06 is a better game than that on-rails piece of childish shite with horrible controls. The only reason it seems better is because they dropped all the Shadow/Blaze/Silver bullshite. As a gameplay experience, it sucks.

Hopefully this is a real game now with actual good gameplay and no post-2001 crap they call a story.

…Kogen stole my comment! NO! *cries in a corner*

…Does that mean someone else other than me thought that SatSR was shite? *leaps out of corner*

Took your time.

I’m with Pur and Kogen on this. I hope it is a 360 game, but the first thing I thought when I heard “Unleashed” was “2D game compilation for Handhelds.”
Please let it be as good as Sega Genesis Collection in that event.

Bah, all the modern Sonic and Genesis game compilations (aside from a number of SEGA AGES games) lack the love that was put into Sonic Jam.

Again you fall into retardism. Why only Sonic? The game could have 1 or 40 characters, yet it could still be a pile of shite(Sonic and the Secret Rings) or great.

What matters is the game is a real Sonic game and it’s made by people with some sense of what they’re doing. I’m sure people here with no experience in making games could design the game better than those currently doing it.

Basically it doesn’t matter how many characters there are, just as long as they’re good characters.

I wouldn’t mind another Sonic Wii title that is on-rails. But then again, I wouldn’t mind if a) They let you use the Nunchuck in moving Sonic, b) Mii support as optional characters c) Custom soundtrack just for the hell of it.

On rails boo hoo rails hoo boo hoo

ONE game in the entire fucking series has on rails gameplay and nearly 3/4s of the entire sonic fandom shits an elephant.

It wasn’t a fantastic game but with tweaking and sprucing, the engine might yield something worth playing. Give it a chance. Is Sonic Adventure 3 all everyone honestly wants?

I’m mostly with you kogen on the characters front (not that I WANT Sonic and the 108 stars of destiny) but I do honestly wish these people would embrace the philosophy of “less is more” at least once. Wildfire was an improvement in that sense.

The 2D games weren’t on rails. I don’t know where you’re getting this bullshite from, Chris. On Wii you can’t even look behind yourself and you’re ALWAYS going forward(unless you want to kill yourself going backwards). The 2D games were nothing like that(the DIMPS series is, at times).

I wasn’t serious when I said there should be 40 characters, obviously, but 6 worked fine in Sonic Adventure(Sonic main, Tails/Knuckles/Gamma secondary, Big/Amy as lesser characters). That’s a good model to follow if they have the resources to do that many characters. Any Sonic game should have at the least Sonic and Tails(plus mini-games/special stages), then they have a rather large pool of good characters to have playable along with them if they can get it into the game without making it suck. Examples are Knuckles, Metal & Silver Sonic, Fang, Espio, Amy, Vector, Eggman(referring to him as playable, he’s actually an important main character too), Mighty, and more.

Another thing they need is the ball physics thing the games completely lack since Sonic Adventure in the 3D series(even then it was minor). Monkey Ball isn’t a good idea at all, it would need better control than that. I played Kameo, an average platformer on 360, and it fucking had spindash on one of the elemental character things. Why can’t they do that with Sonic? It wasn’t a good spindash, but it was still a spindash and it worked like a real ball - it was even an animal rolled up doing it(you could do it in mid air too, would be great for a homing attack thing).

Basically common sense needs to be applied, SEGA has to look at what they’ve done in the past and what others are doing now in platformers, and they need to kill the small amount of horrible characters that are ruining an otherwise good franchise with great characters. The only “big” characters I can see that are ruining it are the obvious ones; Shadow, Blaze, Rouge, Omega, Eggman Nega, Sonic Riders Birds, and Silver. Minor crap ones like Cream(could a character be anymore childish?) don’t really hurt the franchise much. The “big” ones are a problem because they actually end up replacing all the good ones(remember when Tails and Knuckles were main characters?) and even fucking Sonic a lot of the time.

Well a “free” world would be fine, but it’d have to be the adventure field and not the entire game. Sonic needs action stages.

Let’s hope that, in this theoretical situation of yours, Amusement Vision is more willing to fork their engine over than a mid-90s Sonic Team was!

Kugan you are a moronic simpleton living in the past, nobody wants to go back to the past and nobody cares, all we want is a good Sonic game with good gameplay.

Firstly they should stick with the popular characters, which are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and Eggman. Those are the top four characters that people like, and would play as. The characters aren’t the problem it’s the overall presentation their given and how they confuse the plotline. But anyway. Those four should be the main mains, while amy, rouge, cream and Metal Sonic should be the minor mains. As NPC’s. Secondly we should design more levels like in adventure for the 3d games, and more classic Sonicness in the 2d games like Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure. Silver and other characters aren’t bad, they can be unlockables. Then about Sonic, he should start acting like his Sonic Adventure self. We should have a game where Shadow is badass and cool again and Tails and Knuckles are more than sidekicks.

But please no more bitching about the goddamn classics and the Sonic retro way, it’s not happening in this day and age. Sonic needs to tend to his roots but not start all over from the beginning.

MAKE A SONIC ADVENTURE 3 THAT IS LIKE SA2B
Including chaos. all the games before that were good. all after are gay. sonic and the secret rings is gay. sonic unleashed is more gay and sonic knights is just straight homo. nobody wants to run around like a maniac and have shity ass controls. i can go outside and run like a crazy bastard so i dont need to pay to do that shit.
