Sonic was a corporate product from the start.

>>9380443
This will most definitely end in flame war but why was sonic good to begin with? I get it had pretty graphics but i never understood the concept. The memes tell you to go fast but on 4:3 going fast is just making blind jumps and hoping you land somewhere that doesn't kill you or send you back at the same speed. You are basically playing a zoomed in pinball. The older i get the more i think it was just some marketing campaign forcing a pretty game with broken mechanics on kids that didn't know any better.

The people who like Sonic games are people who played it dozens of times as a child because it was the pack in title for their Genesis, and thus had already memorized the level design and were able to play competently.

It's not about going fast unless you memorize the path as >>9380489 put it. It is a fun series. And a lot of 3D games also hated it unjustifiable. They are much better compared to a lot of "hidden gems". Its just that series is not at Mario level. And other platforming series are much better Sonic but they don't have their own consoles and are not as popular.

I think people really like Sonic's character design and that's what made it very popular.

Its funny in a way while most 2D retro games are hurt by 16:9 patches. Sonic is unplayable after you try it at 16:9. That's how inconsistent it's design.

If Castlevania isn't good then no platformer is. Bloodlines absolutely mogs any Sonic game on the Genesis. And so does Sega's own Castle of Illusion honestly. I don't know why Sonic became that big of a franchise. Even Crash and Spyro are not nearly as popular. Hell, take Gex, another mascot platformer. Is it worse than Sonic? Absolutely not and yet it's obscure and Sonic is an icon. I mean even Mega Man is fucking dead but Sonic is still getting new games like Mario. I'm not trying to shit on Sonuc by any means, I just don't understand why. If the games simply haven't been good for literal decades (with the exception of Colors, Generations and arguably the GBA/DS games) why are they still coming out?
And the Game Gear type shit is not exclusive to the /vr/ era, remember when they made two absolutely abysmal games for the PSP for example? It just doesn't stop man

[Anonymous No.9380901]

I don't think those hills or slopes give you momentum or change how you jump, it's been a while since I played. I think they're treated the same as a flat surface ultimately. Besides, most of SMB3 is flat surfaces and platforms.

>>9380865
What technical achievements? It's a pretty janky game that can't reliably do the physics of the 2D era. Original Sonic is a much greater technical achievement because it was did something that other games had not, earlier, and with like 5 people developing the whole game.

Crash also did get a bit more popular than how good his games were. His design is basically Looney Tunes.

2D Sonic level design is generally based on no endless pits, or at least endless pits that you know are bottomless pits because the game told you there is one using level design principles. SEGA always did a great job with level design during the Mega Drive era, but you know who is pretty bad at level design on 2D Sonic games? DIMPS. They completely ignore the "no bottomless pits" design principle and just punch you in the face with bottomless pits at the END OF THE LEVEL with NO INDICATION.

Disingenuous idiots like you are so fucking exhausting. You know what he meant dipshit. He's referring to the momentum of the game how your speed carries over between everything. Obviously Mario didn't have loop de loops that also kept track of how much speed you're picking up/losing.

>>9380468
The idea/reward of Sonic games comes exactly from the map memorization/skill required to -not- fall in pitfalls while going fast. I'm not a good sonic player, but I played Green Hill so much growing up that I can still go through it insanely fast, which feels good to do.

The reason why Mario is so fucking boring is because it's literally -just- a platformer. Even today, they don't try to do anything new. You just wahoo and jump around really slowly and that's basically it. I like to go faster in my games because it's more fun to test my reflexes and try achieve high speed than to run around at the speed of molasses.

On top of that, whether you like it or not, Sonic's success was also because he simply looked cooler than Mario. He still does.

80s platformers basically all had flat level design. There are exceptions, like Mario 3, but there is a slight difference between older games and Sonic. Sonic is built around calculating speeds in real-time, and different surfaces/collisions have an affect on the player's momentum in drastic ways. The hills in Mario 3 are binary.

They needed another team of three characters for Sonic Heroes (IIRC they did consider bringing back Fang, Bark and Bean for that game early on, i guess they scrapped it since they didn't know how to make them work with the speed, power and flight theme)
I wonder why they just shelved most of the classic cast for ages, sure they wanted to be more mature or whatever but there was nothing stopping them from turning them all into edgelords.

Yeah, I do too, but if you analyze the level design, Advance 1 and 2 are pretty boring and frustrating games in my opinion. Autoplay sessions, bottomless pits, enemies and spikes that you can't react to, etc. And I'm not even talking about the special stages, holy shit I thought the Sonic 1 special stage was the worst one, then I played the Advance 1 Special Stage.

The main answer as to why some people still like those games is in your very post. It's a mix of already existing platformer concepts (such as the spinjump from Ninja Gaiden, learning the level like the original Mario) with Marble Madness set in giant pinball levels. When it's done well, it really is fun to learn the level and then try to get through it quickly and efficiently. Also, cool music and visuals.

Videogames are just shiny, digital kid's toys designed to entertain and waste time. On that basis, I don’t see where Sonic fails. In fact, I find it pretty funny watching people try to draw a distinguishing line between this and Nintendo franchises.

Heroes in general was a spiritual remake of Knuckles Chaotix (teamwork, giant Metal Sonic final boss, etc.), so it's no wonder they were brought back for it. The marketing push for Heroes and Sonic X made Heroes the point where the modern Sonic cast solidified in the eyes of the public, so the Chaotix coast by on that.

I love how newfags here never actually genuine in the first place. They use the worse parts of the games as proof to demonize the series as some kind of mistake for whatever reason. Like this one. >>9380547
You aren't a arbiter of justice, you just as bad as the sonicboogieman you hate the most.

Not to mention the game is unfinished, it supposed to have a lot of content but it was scrapped for time constrains. Like MM7.

Sonic was so ashamed about not being able to save Tails that he killed himself. So if you don't want either of them to die you don't play the game at all, truly deep stuff.

I thought the same thing until I just played it like a normal platformer. You can build up speed with experience but only in certain sections, and arguably Sonic is worse in that respect than many other games. Just play 1, 2, 3+Knuckles, and CD like standard platformers with no preconceived notions and they should be enjoyable.

Sonic 2 ms/gg is pretty bad, i'm sorry but i'm pretty much 90% sure that its a nostalgia thing that people like it and really overrate the fuck out of it, it really made an impact with gg owners especially. As a kid I actually liked Sonic Chaos wayyy more.

I hate to say this, I apologize in advanced. But you were filtered.

Yes, it is annoying to be flung around randomly. You shouldn't be playing the game randomly. Once you learn how to control the tether it is super satisfying to watch the two characters just fly across all of the obstacles perfectly.

Okay, the Advance games are good too. But that's it until Mania.

More like it just breaks the game; it's a large part of the reason why the level design in Chaotix sucks (can't really have traditional 2D Sonic levels when you can just fling yourself across large portions of a map, so everything just becomes a vertical maze instead, yet it's still too...chaotic...)

How is MM7 unfinished? It has cut content, like the entirely different visuals for early Spring Man, a Beat weapon and some more stuff, but it's complete as a game and doesn't even feel unfinished.

Not retro, but NSMB2 is a great game. Just because it didn't shatter your very high expectations, doesn't make it bad. I'm so tired of people parroting this.
