Thank god I never was autistic enough for sonic.

I Played sonic 1 & 2 ALOT.
But when sonic three came out, I was sick of it.

I cant still play 1 & 2, but can't force my brain to want to play CD or anything. Just wont do it.

its a tie between sonic & sonic 2

True autism.

>>3207052
Sonic will never make a comeback until Sega develops better talent. They have no clue how to make Sonic games fun.

>>3207109
Let's give sonic a gun!
Let's give sonic a girlfriend!
Let's make sonic a werewolf!
Let's make sonic in 3d but make him so fast you can't land on anything and make the game animations glitch up.
Let's completely change Sonic's proportions and look
Let's not invest in the latest game technologies to make the game look good.
Let's keep making shit only idiot's would buy!

>>3207109
Sonic already made a comeback as a good platformer.
Sonic Colors.
It's just that no one gave a shit about it, because everyone is too busy shitting on SEGA's poor marketing decisions.

And to be fair, they have all the reasons to shit on SEGA.
The problem is that SEGA basically killed all of its older franchises that could've served as mascots.
Alex Kidd is dead, OutRun is dead, Ecco the Dolphin is dead etc.
Meanwhile, Nintendo has kept Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Kirby and carried them through the decades.
I'm just saying.

>>3207124
Shadow the Hedgehog would be a good game if it wasn't edgy, and it didn't have absolutely horrible level design (kill all enemies in the level? come the fuck on).
Sonic'06 was rushed for Christmas, and a basically unfinished, untested and horribly designed game was released.
Sonic Unleashed was actually fun, it just wasn't Sonic per se.
I agree with everything else, though.
SEGA basically fucked itself each and every time. That's the only reason the Sonic franchise is as smeared as it is.
Their very first mistake was giving Sonic and friends dialogues in the Adventure games.
FUCKING LEARN FROM NINTENDO, SEGA. ALL OF THEIR MASCOTS ARE MOSTLY SILENT.

>>3207124
Didnt sonic become a knight in one game, with a sword and armor.

>>3207052
If Nintendo had half a brain they would make New Sonic the Hedgehog Wii similar to their New SMB hits. It doesn't seem like they've capitalized on inheriting all of the old Sega-fags

>>3207124
Edgy

>>3207124
make sonic an open world 1st person experience on VR either as a new character, a player defined character or the titular icon himself

the possibilities

>>3207151
i should have sped that gif up a few notches

>>3207084
Is it bad that I want this?

Because I want this. It looks hilarious.

Let's face it, Sonic can't go any lower than he's already gone. And if he does, he's guaranteed to bounce back.

>>3207159
>Is it bad that I want this?

Not really, I want it too.

I want that Johnny Bravo movie starring Rock a lot more, though.

>>3207135
>ALL OF THEIR MASCOTS ARE MOSTLY SILENT.

Doesn't really correlate much to the overall quality of their works though, which as of late has been mediocre overall. In fact, modern Nintendo would be the LAST company I would take lessons from in all honesty.

>>3207181
I'm not talking about the quality of their games, I'm talking about marketing their mascots in that particular case.

>>3207059

This is like the most boring fucking choice, but my favorites are 3&K and Adventure 2.

I also really like that SRB2 fangame but in this context it doesn't count

>>3207248

Sonic must have a hell of a strong stomach.

Best looking boss, easiest boss ever.

>>3207265
>There are people who didn't go behind him

>>3207265
Looks pretty stupid.

Here's the actual best looking boss. Also all Robotnik fights are easy, with the possible exception of the final boss in Sonic 2.

>>3207124
>almost two decades later and people STILL hate Sonic's redesign

>>3207265

Nowhere even near.

uhh do you think nintendo has the rights to sonic?

>>3207282
>tfw this boss gets cut if you play Sonic 3 with S&K

GOD DAMMIT SEGA, WHY

>>3207335
because you fight him as knuckles

>>3207304
They may as well. Nintendo treats him much better than Sega does.

>tfw no more good Sonic games

Sonic is stupid. A hedgehog? lolwut? Is it a platformer or a runner? Is it based in our world? Why are the controls so bad?
At least Mario isn't confused about being in a made up world and it has pristine platform controls.

>>3207483
What's wrong with hedgehogs?

>>3207487
do they talk, run fast, collect ring, turn super sayain and kiss japanese girls irl?

Some have been waiting for his comeback ever since the excellent first game.

>>3207493
They may not collect rings (unless you train them to), but they do everything else you listed.

>>3207052
>With Sonic eventually making his big comeback

>>3207081
Not everyone uses rubbish Windows file systems. I could have a thousand files with the same name in the same directory if I wanted. (I mean, why would you, but...)

Sorry guys, but I just gotta tell it how it is.

I'm being honest, and I mean no harm to any of your beautiful in a non-ironic way opinions and tastes. I think you all have your reasons to prefer that particular game (as long as it's on the classic range and on Mega Drive), but let's be honest. The one and only most famous hedgehog in the world is Sonic the Hedgehog, the first one.

>>3207052
Sonic made his big comeback with Generations. Then Sega went and fucked it up by making Lost World and Boom, instead of doing games based on the Classic Sonic stages from Generations.

>>3208298
The first Sonic has inferior physics, though.

Also Labyrinth Zone a shit.

>>3208308

Is there any other difference with Sonic 2 or CD other than the spindash?

Labyrinth Zone is a test to patience. Don't be an impatient dumbass and you'll breeze easily through the zone. Remember that one switch you have to press to open the gate.
The Robotnik boss fight of Labyrinth is also a test of both platforming skill and patience, you've got to be quick because water is coming up, but you need to be skillful because there's dangerous speares coming out of the wall leaving little space between walls to jump, also fire spitting statues. All while bouncing against Robotnik. If you're fast enough you can avoid getting caught with the water in that section too.

I felt like i was about to have a seizure the whole time. Could you imagine them doing the special stage like this?

>>3207124
>Let's give sonic a girlfriend!
But that happened like twice before '06.

>>3208343
>Whenever the character moves, the new position is calculated based on your current position, speed and acceleration. If a solid object is in the way it is possible to completely bypass it if no calculated position collides with the object. In laymans terms, if Sonic is fast enough he can ignore solid objects because he's too fast to interact with them.

Wow, that's some Flash level bullshit there.

>>3207159
its not THAT movie

but yeh

In Sonic we trust!

Shutting down deviantart would do more for the franchise than anything sega could do

>>3207069
Is it bad that I liked the OVA as a kid?

>>3207335
Play Sonic 3 Complete instead, it adds him back in.

>>3207493
Do plumbers shoot fireballs out of their hands?

>>3208889

The OVA has pretty good animation, especially Sonic vs Metal Sonic.
Miles better than any other Sonic animation.

Although this unreleased cartoon pilot could have made a cool show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wE2dVQBXe0

Apparently it was made by the same studio that animated Animaniacs

>With Sonic eventually making his big comeback
I can't believe that in this, the year of our Lord two-thousand and sixteen, that I'm still being forced to post this.

>>3208904
Sonic Cycle is a meme.
We already had a few actually good new Sonic games in the recent years.

>>3208889
Straaange isn't it?

>>3207052
Adventure was my favorite but it aged like milk, unless you're counting the pc mods. Now my fave is either CD or 3&K. I have a special spot for Chaotix as well.

Probably because it's the first one I played, but Sonic 2 is my favourite. The greatest zones and most memorable music in my opinion.

>>3208889
The soundtrack was god tier.

>>3208901
Whoa, thanks for sharing. Terrible 90s CG aside, this looks miles better than almost any other Sonic cartoon adaptation I've seen. Interesting that they used the Japanese audio from Sonic CD as a temporary score instead of the American version or something from the Genesis titles

>>3207052
Sonic 2 is still the best and still the hardest.

>>3207402
Shh, Anon, it's okay... there were never any good Sonic games.

>>3208909
>We already had a few actually good new Sonic games in the recent years.
nah

>>3208889

No. But you need to rewatch it subbed next time you do.

>>3209102
Animaniacs (some of it) was animated by TMS, a Japanese studio. So that short has no reason not to be 100% Japanese production inspired by American cartoons, hence why they wouldn't use the American soundtrack.

>>3209167
I had no idea! I always thought Animaniacs was all Korean. I'll have to look into it further, thanks anon

>>3209131
>>>/r/eddit

>>3207059

Sonic 3 is great though anon.

>>3207052
Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic Adventure 2

>>3207919
>Sonic's modern look is more than twice as old as Classic Sonic was at the time of his redesign
What the fug

>>3209936
Sonic 3 is probably the worst of the original Megadrive series (not counting spinoffs).

>>3209986
AYYY CHECK OUT MR. OPINION OVER HERE

>>3209986
I think it beats the first game by a large margin, it got really boring for me after playing for a while and I just couldn't get myself to finish it. Sonic 3 on the other hand had a lot more appeal and didn't fail to entertain me until I got to the ending.

>>3207052
>With Sonic eventually making his big comeback
>Sonic
>comeback

Sorry anon, but Sonic the hedgehog is a thing of the past and there it'll stay. All these years we had several frustrated trials of making him popular on the videogame scene again and nothing relevant was ever done out of it. The situation simply isn't looking bright for the hedgehog.

If we hadn't received all the shovelware and missed opportunities that define the new Sonic games, we would probably remember Sonic not differently than we remember, say, Bubsy the cat or Gex the gecko.

>>3209986

>sonic 3 is the worst

How? I mean, other than you probably just trying to be the opposite of popular opinion I mean.

sonic 3 beats 1 in every perceivable way.

>>3210031
I'm sorry but I can't take this game environment anymore
Nintendo is headed to the shitter, Microsoft is shit, Sony is the only one doing decent right now, Valve has been doing shady things as of recently, capcom and konami are dead, and indie games and cinematic experiences are taking up the video game industry
Sega being revived would be like Christmas

>>3209139
What is Sonic Colors?
What is Sonic Rush?
What is Sonic Advance 1 (and, arguably, Advance 2)?
What is Freedom Planet?

I'm not even counting some of the spin-offs, like Battle, because they weren't platformers, even though they were legitimately good games.

And if you are willing to tolerate lesser quality - the games that aren't good but that are okay, then Generations and Unleashed count too.

>>3210584
Advance 3 and Battle were kinda good too. Also Advance 3 soundtrack is awesome.

>>3210038
>gimmicky
>boring unoriginal levels bordering on recycling
>Sonic looks like shit
>short
>underwhelming final boss

>>3210626
You forgot shields that make the game even easier than it already is.

>>3210631
Well that falls under "gimmicky"

>>3210617
Advance 3's level design is pretty shit, man, and don't really like the partner system.
I'd say it's okay.

You know what I noticed - a lot of Sonic games are killed by SEGA's desire to protract the game experience via missions.

Sonic and Secret Rings could've been a nice auto-runner platformer, if it didn't feature shitty mandatory missions that make you replay the same recycled stage over and over with very little variation, and instead opted to incorporate more actual stages.

Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Generations also feature that, although not as heavily, and Sonic Colors also somewhat recycles stages, but its level design is superior in every way, and so it isn't noticeable that you are replaying previous stages' fragments.

>tfw actually like Sonic 3D Blast
Dat music. I think people got impatient adapting to the controls, it really isn't hard.

>>3210584
Rush was awful. Advance 1 was an admirable copy.

>>3207059
>I won't let myself play certain video games because of a mental inhibition

>>3207052

>>3207052
Sonic is making a comeback? Yeah, okay...

Sonic 2 was the best in the series.

>>3210584

>>3207052
>what was your favorite Sonic game?
Sonic 3D Blast on Genesis.

>>3211974
>first DLC in the console industry

yeah no.
The only good thing in Sonic 3 was Icecap, all the other levels were boring, had crap music, or were overly large with 0 challenge. And whatever challenge it still had was removed by the save function.

S&K, while it was a DLC, was better in every single way. Better music, better levels, better final boss, better everything.

>>3213502
> S&K, while it was a DLC

It's not DLC. It was a standalone game. If anything it was an expansion pack.

>>3214056
It worked both ways, it was standalone but also could be combined with Sonic 3 to expand it, but that is more of a plus.

>>3213502

Sonic will never comeback. Maybe if it was a game for the retro lovers/sega fans. But mainstream? Nah, not gonna happen. If Sonic isn't in the next Call of Duty then there is no way I see Sonic hitting mainstream.

>>3207052
3 & Knuckles
