I honestly liked the Spencer Neilsen version of this track for the US release:

THE WAR BEGAN
EARTH TREMBLING IN FEAR

>>5349097
3&K shits on 2 and CD

Excogitate with me as to how Mario 64 is not vintage Mario in three dimensions, but a collectathon adjunct (that supplanted the preeminent series similar to how Persona supplanted SMT). Contrarily, Mario 3D World is vintage Mario in three dimensions. There is desideratum for a Sonic game that is homologous to Mario 3D World. A 3D game that functions like the 2D games with the only dissimilitude being a supplementary dimension. A game with pinball physics, momentum, and genuine platforming contrary to homing attack spam and imbecilic boost.

>>5349139
BOLD
BRAVE
AND COLD HEARTED

>>5349160
THE DISTANCE GROWS CLOSER
LITTLE BY LITTLE

>>5349163
WOW
THE POWER HE POSSESSES IS INCREDIBLE
HE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE

>>5349154
Done.

>>5349160
Didn't want to interrupt the combo, but it's bald, brainy and cold hearted.

Classic Sonic has a tastefully elegant design, the music is whimsical, and the aesthetic is delightful. He appears much more like a small mammalian that can form a trundling spheroid. Contrarily, Nouveau Sonic has the appearance of an uncouth gangly oleaginous twit that admires Limp Bizkit and babbles hackneyed slanguage that was antiquated two decades before he originally spoke.

>>5349180
"Modern" Sonic is 20 years old.

>>5349216
Modern Sonic, like his fanbase, refuse to leave the past in the past where it belongs.
He is the singular example of a has-been in gaming.

>>5349224
Just flip the English voices to Japanese in the options and it all gets better

>>5349236
>it all gets better in Japanese

>>5349253
He's right though. If you can't hold off playing those modern games, switching to Japanese voices makes them way more bearable. Of course, you'd also have to understand Japanese so as not to cringe from all the rewrites.

>>5349268
But there are basically no Sonic fans in Japan, so the Japanese script and voice overs are the lowest effort bare minimum, essentially placeholders.

>>5349269
Sonic wishes he could do as big of a leap as you do with logic.

i thought he said "WORK THAT FAT YOU OBESE" back then

IS SONIC CD even worth playing if you're a fan of 1-3/K? I've always been turned off to even try it cause from what I hear its a completely different play style

>>5349369
>from what I hear its a completely different play style
Yeah, I don't even know why people refer to it as a sonic game, it's more akin to a rhythm beltscroll shooter.

>>5349097
>Mania

I thought it was "work that sexy chest."

>>5349216
And?

>>5349369
Dude it's a 30 min game if you don't do the emerald autism, just play it. If only so that you have an informed opinion on it.

The Steam version is like $1 on the usual key sites.

The classics have perspicuously surrealist fantasy environments that are pulchritudinous and iconic. This is lost in Nouveau Sonic’s salmagundi of cityscapes, realistic textures, and environments denuded of idiosyncrasy. Green Hill would not possess a superior presentation if you reconstituted the checkered ground with an HD dirt texture.

i miss the old days when it was sonic boom and not this new trash

This board is for the discussion of classic video games and classic video game characters, in contrast to modern video characters. Sega was kind enough to help us in this endeavor by labeling which of their mascots is acceptable for /vr/ and which is not. The sonic that is acceptable to discuss here was conveniently named "Classic Sonic" or simply "Sonic". The Sonic that is off-topic and against the rules is conveniently named "Modern Sonic" or "Not Retro". Thank you for your cooperation.

>>5349038
Sonic CD aesthetics are top comfy. I wish there was an extended commercial release for the Japanese soundtrack.

>>5349691
Couldn't I just emulate it?

wow I didn't mean that old, those ones are for old people or whatever
i miss the good old days like sonic boom

>>5349392

>>5349038
it's work that man to death tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dpU5suqksY
nope.

>>5349723
The remaster is widescreen and includes both soundtracks and a playable Tails.

It's made by the same programmer who coded Sonic Mania so it's rock solid.

But yes, you can just emulate it too.

>>5349097
>Mania on top
I want underage zoomers back on /v/ where they belong.

>>5349216
Okay but "modern Sonic" is literally his personality in the old American cartoons too.

>>5349038
>shit, unfitting weeb version
>not the unsettling, gothic nightmare music that properly fits a boss fight with an evil genius

>>5349216
uhh sonic's personality was always the latter. it's just a bit more apparent in his adventure concept art since that was stylistically based on graffiti art and is a little more wavey and expressive because of it. sonic was never supposed to be subtle, it fundamentally doesn't fit with his character

>>5350050
Sonic is Japanese IP, Amerifat Pigdog

>>5350012
>>muh muh safespace
kys

>>5350057
ok? doesn't inherently make the weeb soundtrack better

>>5350012
the truth hurts grandpa

>>5349216
what the actual fuck is doing Modern Sonic? Is he overconfidently ordering a coffee while lounging in his imaginary sofa?

>>5350085
You must know. It must suck having a zoomer romhack as your favorite Sonic.

>>5350106
back to /v/

>>5350106
it must suck thinking sonic mania is a romhack

>>5350103
..he's skiing. he's leaning back because he's moving downhill

>>5350115
>>5350116
You're right, it's not a ROMhack, it's not even retro.

>>5350124
COPE

I always play through the game in Japanese but man do I love the USA Tidal Tempest track.

>>5350128
Agreed, Sonic 1 best Sonic.

>>5350134
To be honest, Stardust Speedway is also really great on the US soundtrack.
The Japanese one is more fitting, but US one is a bit underrated as of late. It used to be more celebrated back in the day.

>>5350140
>Sonic 1 best Sonic.

The Master System Sonic 1 version is definitely the best.

>>5350146
Sorry buddy, true gamers know Sonic 1 Tiger Handheld is where it's at.

>>5350146
It's good but it's kind of a different kind of game, with different physics and level design philosophy.
Original Sonic 1 still the most patrician.

>>5350146
unironically this. none of the zones feel like slogs unlike the genesis version and that music though

>>5350157
None of the zones in Sonic 1 feel like a slog.

>>5350156
Why were there 3 different designs for Robotnik?

>>5350140
>>5350146
>>5350153
>>5350156
BACK TO /V/

>>5350156
WHAT THE FUCK

i remember seeing that board game at an old friend's house once like 25 years ago. i was like four at the time though and had been sure ever since that i just dreamt it up or something. just got the weirdest nostalgia rush

>>5350164
u

>>5350160
what is marble zone and labyrinth

and even if you like those zones, ms sonic 1 is still much more consistent in it's design

>>5350164
>actual /vr/-related Sonic
>/v/

>>5350172
Fun zones, people only complain because they suck and don't know how to go fast in Marble, or how to not get hit on labyrinth (and also most people think air bubbles are that important, most of the time you can make it to the surface if you never stop or get hit, that's Labyrinth's beauty).
>ms sonic 1 is still much more consistent in it's design
It's a different kind of game. But if you don't like Marble's more trad platforming design, I don't know how you'd say 8bit Sonic 1 is better than OG Sonic 1.

>>5350172
There is literally nothing wrong with Marble Zone. You can blow through that zone with careful platforming just as fast as any other.

Sandopolis and Marble Garden are bigger heaping piles of shit than Marble Zone.

>>5350162
That's Eggnik. It has Eggman's base design but he doesn't have any glasses and he's unaccountably angry and edgy like Robotnik.

>>5350023
No. Nouveau Sonic has the appearance of an uncouth gangly oleaginous twit that admires Limp Bizkit and babbles hackneyed slanguage that was antiquated two decades before he originally spoke.

>>5350056
False. The classics have perspicuously surrealist fantasy environments that are mesmerizing and iconic. This is lost in Nouveau Sonic’s salmagundi of cityscapes, realistic textures, and environments robbed of idiosyncrasy. Green Hill would not possess a superior presentation if you reconstituted the checkered ground with an HD dirt texture.

>>5350628
shut the fuck up or use a tripcode so I can filter you

>>5350647
Make an actual counterpoint you philistine.

>>5350671
I agree with everything you've said, I just can't stand to read through this shitfest of pretentious faux-eloquence

>>5350628
that has nothing to do with my post

>>5350671
>these characters proportions make it look like he listens to limp bizkit
???

>>5350874

>>5350626
>sonic has a bad rep because they made his arms blue and not because his games are shit
i don't see how keeping his eyes black to appease all the CWCs of the world would've made the games good

>>5350878
sonic always had attitude, moreso than ever in the 90s. mario was always just a lighthearted, jovial plumber. i really don't see your point

>>5350882
That was only in the western marketing

>>5349154
LOOK AT ME MOMMY I USE LATIN WORDS LIKE A PROUD KEK

>>5351263
this, it was one of those reasons I never touched until recently, when I saw it wasn't just that.

>>5351263
yeah a character who's essence is speed and rebellion, one that stares angrily at the player when he doesn't get to move for two seconds surely has no attitude whatsoever.
>b-but muh baka gaijin marketing
sonic's entire character was fundamentally designed to appeal to americans and their sensibilities

>>5351692
>he taps his feet so he's edgy!!!

You're grasping at straws and it's pathetic.

>>5351704
>he said "aw yeah" so he's edgy!!!
this whole thing started with you grasping at straws

>>5349104
This.
The ideal SonicCD soundtrack is almost 50-50 Jap and US tracks.

>>5351804

us soundtrack sucks not because of the music itself, but because they didn't bother changing the chip tune tracks in the past. So, if you bother playing the game the way you are supposed to by going to the past, you will basically be playing some weird ass hybrid version where you start in the US and spend the rest of the time in JP land.

>>5351835
Doing the past themes as PCM music was genius

I remember when people thought he said "WORK THAT STUPID BITCH UP!" before someone found out that was George Clinton.

>>5351835
That's the best thing about US CD though.
It has best of both worlds, it's like a fever dream that's actually real.
Based Nilsen and based Hataya

>>5351891
well yeah itd kind of be cool if the us soundtrack didn't totally suck ass.
