/vr/ - Retro Games

I really wish I had this game. I played some horribly emulated version maybe 10 years ago. I couldn't get past the lava/fire boss.

Thanks for reminding me about this game I need to revisit it. It had a kickass soundtrack too. Can't say I agree with your spoilered statement though.

It has amazing visuals and music but moves too slow. Mario is faster than this. Fucking Belmonts casually stroll through Dracula's castle and they still move quicker than this lazy round faggot

>This game is fucking great
Agreed OP. Best platformer of the entire 4th gen. Don't @me either. Search your heart you know it's true.

rocket knight advantures >> sonic >>> ristar

>>6341612
RKA >> Ristar >> Sonic

>>6341082
Agreed.

>>6341082
It's not better but it's also very good. I would love to see a sequel. It has potential to be better or just as good for sure.

>>6341082
*blocks your path*
heh, nice try there kid

>>6341525
It’s available in collections for pretty much every home console since PS2 including PS4/Switch

>>6341650
This man speaks the truth. To get more in depth

RKA>Ristar>S3&K>Sonic 2>Sonic 1>Sparkster

Some sonic clones like High seas havoc and Socket hang in the bottom with Sparkster

>>6341742
Anyone have a pic of the official Sparkster T-shirt? Google shows a few different designs

>>6341758
Ristar > RKA> S3&K> Dynamite Headdy > Sonic 2 > Sonic 1

FTFY. Haven't played Sparkster so can't comment on that one.

>>6341082
The first few levels are great, then it's a chore. The character's design is great, aesthetics are great, tehcnically the game is amazing and tight as fuck. But every time I replay it I'm initially amazed but then lose all interest altogether.

headdy is the best of the generation, but ristar is definitely close

plok>dynamite headdy>ristar>sonic>rka
rka is a great game, just shows how good platformers were in gen 4

>Nobody here mentioned Cool Spot
Imagine being so uncool lmao

Let's be honest now; besides a few zones, Sonic is an eyesore. It's a mishmash of textures which makes no fucking sense, not even in a world of fantasy, and yet people conveniently remember Green Hill, or Marble Zone... Forgetting about the rest.
It's a great, great game, don't get me wrong, I just hate that there's lots of normies pandering for this game and not for other titles. If you say "Genesis" and "Platform" on the same sentence, for them it's Sonic, Sonic and only Sonic... And yet I can think many examples of games that are just as good if not above it. Why did SEGA push this game so hard back in the day and didn't advertise just as much games like Plok, Headdy, RKA, Ristar, Vectorman, Cool Spot, Wonder Boy, and many others I'm forgetting about?

>>6341758
Thanks G.

>>6342448
I'm with ya on that. "Like I'm not hating on Sonic, buuuuut y'all do know that there's more than just Sonic." Sega should have taken advantage of the other franchise IPs that they had around that time. There were so much room for sequels with the other games that you mentioned. Although they were wrong for trying to make vectorman shoot from a gun instead of his palmed hand during the failed making of vectorman 3

>>6341082
Seems like something I would like, but whenever I try to play it I get bored
>>6341612
Agree

>>6342419
RKA > Sonic 2 > Dynamite Headdy > Sonic 1 > S3&K

>>6342448
>as much games like Plok
Plok sucks

its a game made for people too slow to play sonic
and too casual to play headdy

>>6341082
the ost is great

Forgot Ristar... easy to do
RKA > Sonic 2 > Dynamite Headdy > Sonic 1 > Ristar > S3&K

>>6342480
That's just your opinion, though

plok is great. the only bad thing about the game is the visual design of the main character. I ignored it for years based on the cover art since it looks like a shitty budget game, but gameplay itself is 10/10 and the design of plok grew on me the more I played.

>>6341082
One of my favorite games of all time, I just wish it had at least two more zones

>>6342436
seriously now? headdy is lacking in levels in the second half of the game
i wish treasure didn't have the fetish for bosses and boss rush shit, they really knew how to design levels

>>6342607
Not that guy, but I think that the difficulty goes through the roof in the second half of the game since you have only two spots you can continue from, and the levels get brutally difficult (I never managed to beat the levels that start from that one level with waves so I used save states to finish the game)

>>6341545
>>6341545
>but moves too slow
umihara kawase is "slow" too and this board calls it the second coming of christ. not every game needs to be adhd fast you fucking sped.

>>6341545
his walking speed is about right. And you're supposed to grab on things to go faster

>>6341082
What Sonic was meant to be. Except a rabbit.

>>6341545
Slow is ok. Asmik Kun Land is slow but great.

just enter the ILOVEU cheat and play any Ristar level you want. comfy af

>Ristar, as a character, has only made a few minor cameo appearances outside of his two original games in 1995. In Sega's two Shenmue games for the Dreamcast, Shenmue and Shenmue II, the player can choose to spend money to purchase a randomly selected collectible 'Gachapons' (capsule toys) from a machine; one of the possibilities in both games is a Ristar figurine.[48][49] He also briefly appeared introductory video of the 2001 Japan-only Dreamcast game Segagaga.[50] Ristar did not make any more appearances until 2010, where he makes a cameo appearance in a downloadable track for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing due to the high demand for him to be in the game.[51] He also made an appearance as a flagman in the sequel, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, in 2012.[52]

SEGA is a fucking joke

>>6343815
It hurts me to see how badly they leave other Sega franchise IPs in favor for shoving Sonic down the world's throat.

>>6343815
What "two original games"?

>>6344537
Ristar on Game Gear was considered a different game from the Genesis version. Hell it even has it's own wiki. Lol, had to double take myself

>>6341082
He's sexier than sonic too.

>>6344547
Surprisingly enough, the Game Gear stages are pretty decent
Of course, the Genesis version is way better

>>6341082
It's a hard pill for Sonic fags to swallow but it's true. Here's the holy trinity of Sonic Team games.

>Ristar
>NiGHTS into Dreams
>Burning Rangers

All better than any Sonic game.

>>6346471
based trufacts

>>6346471
>All better than any Sonic game.
NiGHTS and Ristar absolutely. Burning Rangers tho? I'll admit It's been a long time since last I played and it being good - great but I'm going to put S3&K over it.

>>6346471
I hated Burning Rangers. Great visual design but ass controls.
I would put Phantasy Star Online in the trinity instead.

>>6346471
they are different games zoomer.

>>6346471
Ummmmmmmm where is Gunstar Heroes?

>>6346610
Developed by Treasure, not Sonic Team
RIP

It's decent, but the level design is too flat and unfocused imo. I really enjoyed the bosses tho, those are definitely better than Sonic

>>6346471
Was Burning Rangers really better than either Adventure games ? Never played it, but it looks extremely rough and dated nowadays

>>6341550
DKC 2 or Mario World are the best 4th gen platformers.

>>6342424
It doesn't help that it lacks a saving system, so you have to finish it in 1 sitting. Unexcusable for 1995

Nah fuck ristar. It's not even the best sega exclusive. Wild woody has more personality than him.

Ristar 2 when

>>6346716
I think the main problem is that later levels just aren't any good. It happens in most Sonic games too. When it's time to ramp up the challenge, some weird nonsense begins instead.

>>6346471
Burning rangers is based. Fuck the haters
