Sonic 1 8-bit would be more your speed then.

Wow so genesis falls short of a snes game yet again I see

>>8125040
Actually a good idea, I agree.

>>8125490
So close yet so far.

>>8125040
Good music tho

I always thought it was funny that lives get saved in S3&K, but not in 3 alone.

>>8125529
fucking banger right here

>>8125040
This would actually be cool since you can sort of see roughly where the different zones are on Angel Island. Today OP wasn’t a complete faggot.

>>8125403
While Sonic 3 is one of the worst Sonic games on Mega Drive its still a million times better than SMW and that abomination Yoshis Island.

>>8125040
That actually would have been cool!

>>8125040
That would've been nice but that would mean having a higher res angel island map, and different scenes for knux (when it's floating) and having areas that look clearly like levels but you never visit until s&k, making the game look an unfinished cash grab con.

Imagine staffing the Sega hotline after release of sonic 3 and fielding all the calls asking how to get to the "secret Egyptian level" or the "hidden mushroom forest"

But it would be cool

>>8125828
>having areas that look clearly like levels but you never visit until s&k
Easy peasy lemon squeezy anon. When you defeat Robotnik at the end of 3 you fall out of the sky and land on the other side of the island which has all the s&k stages. When you have the carts locked on and you are selecting stages the island will turn to the other side when you pass by all the S3 zones. I'm imagining something like the 3d blast map(pic related) but not as gay.

>>8125040
Wouldn't add anything of tangible value.

>>8126380
Would be more immersive having an island map over the slideshow of stages we got instead.

>>8126446
>16-bit bing bing wahoo game
>needs more immersion

>>8125664
You need to go back.

>>8126476
Yes, that's one of the ways the home console market overtook arcades. It wasn't just "stage 1 go" but now worlds with settings.

>he still plays sonic

>>8126562
>>he still plays sonic
Yes

>>8125748
>While Sonic 3 is one of the worst Sonic games on Mega Drive
Yeah it is a let down compared to 2 and the &k half.
S&K > s2 > s1 = s3

>>8126562
>Yes, I do

>>8126562
*100 emoji*

>>8125040
Shit taste.
You wouldn't be able to have the smooth level/zone transitions with a generic overworld map and the world would feel smaller.

>>8125748
>Sonic 3 is one of the worst Sonic games on Mega Drive
Shut the fuck up Sonic 2 nostalgiababby
3&K is the GOAT

>>8127326
Kill yourself mentally ill samefaggot
3&K > 1 > 2 > CD
3&K is one game
Even if you consider them in parts
3 >>>>>>>>> 1/2/CD

>>8126587
How did he became such a feckless faggot?

>>8125040
>An overworld
No, that's too Nintendo. And while we like to think we can point to where the levels are on the floating island, really it's just a floating island Sega came up with and those places aren't necessarily there.

>>8126587
How did he become a feckless faggot?

>>8126446
>Would be more immersive
No it wouldn't be. It would make the world feel much smaller and the inconsistent presentation would literally break the immersion.
The level/zone transitions wouldn't work at all.

Adding a world map to 3K is the worst idea ever.

fucking wrong.

S&K > Sonic 3 > S&K (no lock-on) > 2 > 3d Blast > 1

>>8128059
>really it's just a floating island Sega came up with and those places aren't necessarily there.
This is false. All of the Islands in the Sonic games were thoroughly thought out and there's internal documents/art etc.
The island is much bigger than you think so it's not unrealistic that it has all those locations.

>>8128068
>3d Blast > 1
Oh so you're a retard

>>8128068
Is this a joke

>>8128037
>Shit taste.
>You wouldn't be able to have the smooth level/zone transitions with a generic overworld map
No keep the level transitions as is but when you turn the game off and come back to pick a stage then have the overworld map instead of the slideshow. That's all I'm asking.

>>8128045
>>8128068
You're both wrong.

CD > 1 > 3&K > 2

>>8126562
> he has good taste

i agree

>>8128083
how the fuck does a small island have both a tropical jungle and arctic ice caps

>>8128340
For the same reason talking animals try to save the world.

>>8125040
Well the game was going to have more 3D elements in it at first, but if it did the game would have been 06 tier and killed the series, so I'm glad they didn't do that.

The comparison doesn't work because DKC and SMW styled maps are non linear. Sonic's campaign is all about stopping Eggman ASAP. It's fuking SONIC. His series might not be best being just about speed like with his modern shitty games, but the idea is still there. Sonic never stops when Eggman has to be stopped. Meanwhile Bowser and KKR are just sitting there waiting for the heroes to come to them on purpose, this literally cannot work in S3K since Eggman would win if you didn't stop him at Launch Base

Context matters, and stupid fucks like OP don't care about that apparently.

>>8128340
And a desert with a huge ass pyramid, and a volcano.

Although consider that the place was big enough to comfortably fit a Death Star on it, so it was probably a really fucking big island. When your travelling methods include running at Mach 1, getting shot out of a cannon, or hitching a ride on a gigantic war plane, I guess the place looks much smaller than it really is.

Sonic 2 has the best zones out of the whole series. Cd and 3 both look great but have some annoying zones.

And why the fuck is 3d blast even being mentioned?

>>8128735
>Sonic 2 has the best zones out of the whole series
I guess if you like "hold right to win". If you want a good platformer however, stick to 1, and if you like to explore and play around with physics, CD and 3&K have you covered. 2 just feels like that weird middle child that's doesn't have much of an identity.

>>8129886
Thats retarded, there's far more splitting and branching paths in 2 than 1. If you've ever actually explored 2 you'd know there's lots of routes involving going backwards as well

>>8125040
>An overworld island view like dkc would have been fantastic.
For all we know they likely intended to do that at one point, hence why they bothered giving Angel Island an actual rendering in the final product.
Sonic 2 was incredibly rushed, resulting in a lot of planned content being scrapped. Some of this included pic related, an overworld map of Westside Island (that would help convey the time travel-based narrative), and the general concept of "how does Sonic get from this area to the next?"
Similarly, Sonic 3 was rushed after Sonic Team fucked around for a few months with a prototype isometric version (part of why the game was split in two). We know the devs carried over 2's "how does Sonic get from this area to the next?" concept into 3's transition cutscenes, so I think it's safe to assume that they intended to reuse the overworld map idea as well, but dropped it when the game was separated into separate projects. In the the end we got a data screen instead, which probably took a lot less time to put together, and functioned better when "connecting" 3 to S&K.

>>8128059

Sonic has never shied away from visualizing the location a game takes place in.
