Do you think this canceled Sonic belt scroller looked good, /vr/?

>> No.3230841

Not really, not a fan of SatAM either.

>> No.3230846

It looks like it had potential.

Would've been neat to see the archie characters in a sonic game too. Something that isn't spinball.

I'm all for trying out a new style of gameplay, looks like it might have been a cool game.

Looks like it had potential but at the same time it ignores the basic principles of momentum.

>> No.3230854

>>3230838
In all honestly no, but I'll go into detail.

I've never liked the aesthetic of SatAM, the Sonic series was known for its gameplay and what's shown here obviously doesn't play anything like those games, and it moves like molasses. How is Sonic going to conquer his foes when he needs to wait for a bunch of frames after doing anything. The crazy arcade game that uses the trackball is probably more controllable than this.

That being said the colors and detail the Genesis can show off is being illustrated here nicely. I don't even know if this is a game, may as well be a tech demo.

It's such an inane thing to get upset over, why bother. Let him call it whatever.

Don't be a tool OP, nobody ever used the term belt scroller back in the day and it makes you sound like a dick trying to force its use on /vr/

That's clealy not a real demo. It's a concept mock-up and I do not believe that it is running on Mega Drive hardware. This game was not cancelled, it never started development.

No, I already hated SatAM and this just looks crap as a whole without that being a part of it.

What is a "belt scroller"?

The proper term is platfomer or hop-and-bop.

>> No.3232453

Didn't look like much platforming in that preview.

It's stuff like this that made the word "meme" into what it is with the mainstream public. It's that sort of thinking that made literal into a nonstandard synonym of figurative.

>>3230838
Well, this looks pretty bad. Was this supposed to be a Saturn game? It's from 1993 and that doesn't really look like a genesis game.

>> No.3232847

>>3230838
Even if it was really light... Did I see stealth elements there?

Honestly if it was mix of a little bit of this and a little bit of more traditional Sonic gameplay I'd probably at least give it a try.

I don't think it looks as bad as others are claiming, at least, considering that it was a prototype and not a complete game.

>> No.3232852

Not really
Would have been cool to have X-Treme finished though.
