Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion

Sonic Generations was my favorite Sonic game ever, I just wish we could pick other characters besides Sonic lol. It was such a tease having all those models and not being able to play as them, only with them or against you! D=

To be fair, their use of different characters with different gameplay and such was also a source of some of the problems in previous games, Slayer, so staying with good ol' Sanic that time was probably for the better as far as that one game goes.

To lpool, that's why I chose Amy. :p but I agree that was just awkward. Why they thought that was a good idea is beyond me.

Well if you read the OP Slayer, it looks like the next game (it's a rumor though, but it has some backing to it) might have playable characters with the same gameplay as Generations!

Anyways, Ipool, there's a lot more to how the story was bad besides the bestiality. I mean, yes, it was god awful to watch. But it wasn't the sole reason why I dislike the story. Anyways, I guess they were trying to go with the whole "Princess and the Frog" approach, but with an anthropomorphic mutilated rodent corpse that was beloved by a vastly divided fan-base.

Well yeah I know, I have nothing against Sonic but I really wanted to play as Knuckles! =(

Even though 2006 isn't seen as a good game, I had fun with it and I enjoyed playing as Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, Omega, Rouge, Tails and everyone else lol

Anyways, playing as other characters can work. SEGA just keeps trying to shove in gimmick BS like treasure hunting, robot mechs, fishing mechanics, etc. If it was like in Sonic 3 & Knuckles where they were optional and played exactly the same as Sonic but with different abilities and without those gimmicks, but in 3D and with the extended cast, then it'd have some potential.

I'll admit, I had some fun with 2006. But that's as much you're getting out of me to promote the game besides mentioning the gorgeous soundtrack.

I never understood why they couldn't just do the main game as Sonic and have like, extras in each level that would have to be accessed by different characters. That way, Sonic is still the focus while everyone else is like a badass extra.

I basically just ninja'd you Trey. XD

Oh, yeah, it definitely can. Let's just hope Sega's smart enough to note that.

When you think about it every character has cool powers and backatories. They just can't connvey that in gameplay or develop their story more in a reasonable way.

Hey! My internet is a handicap making it very unfair :P lol

Not exactly. More like Sonic Adventure 1. Actually, just do what Sonic Adventure 1 did. That was perfect to me in terms of characters.

NO! Not Sonic Adventure 1, Trey. Because that started the whole treasure hunting, third-person shooter, and fishing crap. No, it should be like Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but in 3D and having more characters. Bam, you'e freaking done. SEGA just has to find a way to give each character unique abilities, such as maybe giving Shadow a Chaos Control move or Silver being able to float and pick up/throw objects/enemies.

Or blaze burning threw threes and stuff or mighty breaking down walls

Threw Threes? I didn't know that this new Sonic game would have numbers that you could throw...

Anyways, Mighty can stick with his wall kick,considering that's ten times more useful than copying Knuckles.

I liked all the other characters in SA1 other than Big, so it wouldn't bother me. I liked how it did different genres almost. It was interesting. Mix that and what you want and I think we'd have perfection honestly.

Nah. Besides, the game had six whole campaigns with different amounts of levels and different protagonists, which I'm not really a fan of in video games. I prefer one campaign with optional characters that you switch between. I wouldn't mind it too much since I loved Adventure 1, but I want SEGA to go above and beyond and actually do their best. No offense.

hey I'm on phone leave alones.


Okay fine but knuckles climbs more now.

True, true. Still, he's freaking Knuckles. He has to use the nipple-shaped claws on his hands for something that relates to what you do with, well, knuckles, besides climbing.

You know who I want to see playable though? Omega. Just to see what the hell SEGA can make him do in a Sonic game like this, like:

*to lpool*...wat.

And forget what I said, Count you have a point. That would be better. It is Sonic The Hedgehog after all, not Sonic & Friends.

Exactly. That was one of the issue that I had with Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, which got rectified in 3D. But I don't want to go off-topic though.

Anyways, what do you think this game will be about guys? Given how the Eggmen were stuck in a separate dimension and how thi is logically the next step after tackling space (Colors) and time (Generations), I'm willing to say that it'll be called Sonic Dimensions.

To trey count understood.

to count omega could work but he needs depht that isn kill everything

Didn't we already get Omega? o_O basically he was "walk shoot walk shoot" lol. But yea if they can develop him further go forth I say

Like gamma!

Definitely. Like possibly being able to glide to lower ledges with his turbines or something, I guess. Gee, it really is freaking hard to come up with good original purposes and abilities for these characters, but that's only because they weren't developed to have that much originality in the first place like Tails and Knuckles.
