I would have liked Secret Rings more if you didn't have to gradually upgrade Sonic's abilities to make him tolerable to control. I'm talking really basic stuff like handling and jump distance, it was really stupid. On the plus side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjUpduiqIys

Whichever motherfucker on Sonic Team was like "Yo, you know what's missing in Secret Rings? A timed stage!" gently caress you. I hope that guy got his rear end fired the day after the game released.

I'd like to remind everyone that iirc, Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) was created based on the results of an official online poll that asked "which Sonic character should get their own game?" So we did this to us. And it's hilarious.

There was also a influx of requests for Sonic to use guns. Initially, Gamma from SA1 was meant to satiate those requests, but I guess they just said gently caress it.

My arms hurt from finishing Sonic & The Secret Rings. I honestly think this game is worse than 06, because at least 06 did not cause me physical pain.

I was so put off after playing Sonic Heroes that I didn't buy any new Sonic games until Generations. I didn't even know 06 existed until I saw pokecapn's LP of it here. Lucky escape.

Who doesn't want an Eggman game in the vein of Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius where you build your secret Death Egg lair with your face plastered over it in a jungle and try to set off traps and capture animals to roboticize to fend off the Heroes, while still trying to maintain good diplomatic standards with G.U.N. by saying you're reformed because you don't want Not Important the Hedgehog to come wrecking your base?

I just heard the menu music from Secret Rings and had a horrible flashback. Just those first few seconds, over and over and over every time you did anything ever.beep by grandpa posted:Hey I was looking for a sonic thread to ask this in - does anyone know what's going on with/if that superfan Sega commissioned to make those Android/iOS/steam 2d sonic ports is working on a Sonic 3 & Knuckles? The Sonic 1/2/CD ports are super good (except for sonic 2 asking me to sign into loving Google+ every time I start it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct1cErthI6s He pitched this, Sega apparently decided not to pursue it. Maybe there's some weird licencing holdup. It's of note that Sonic 3 and K has never been ported since the initial PC version, only ever emulated (albiet sometimes with weird emulation hacks). Sonic 1 and 2 have had full-blown ports. Emulation might be a different ball of wax in terms of third party contribution licencing, since they can say it's the original product.

I remember liking Secret Rings. I'm not getting the idea that I probably should leave that memory as is and not try and replay the game.

The terrible final boss where you have to shake like an idiot for 3 minutes is worth it just for that final cutscene. I told you, I'm not a rat. I recently streamed Secret Rings, Black Knight and Sonic loving Bewm to my friends and I would play every mission in both storybook games rather than look at another second of Sonic boom. I think I would even rather play sonic 06.

Secret Rings however is the only one since Heroes to make me really just want to stop playing, the wii controls are killing me. God damnit why is Sonic Team so adept at coming really close to making something good but then completely loving it up?

I've been hearing about Rodea the Sky Soldier every once in a while, and I just found out recently that it was already released in Japan. As I can tell it's the largest scale game Yuji Naka has worked on since leaving Sonic Team, and people have compared it to Nights into Dreams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ICmZg-zyGU From what I've seen (which isn't much) it looks more like they took the final boss super sonic flying segments from 3d sonic games and made a game out of that. In other words it looks disappointing.

Let's think of happier things for Sonic. Sonic 2 HD continues to be developed at a slow but sturdy pace., and Freedom Planet is on sale, which is an excellent 16-bit tribute to Sega Genesis classics like Ristar and Sonic.

Woah, Sonic 2 HD is still alive? I thought that project died a couple years ago after some drama with the development team.

From what I've heard, and this is just based off random forum posts, there was originally a Wii game, that was never released anywhere. Then, a 3DS version was made, and this one was released in Japan. The WiiU game (which comes in a package with the never-released Wii game as well) is bizarrely a port of the 3DS version rather than the Wii version, presumably so players wouldn't have to own a Wiimote to play. What this means is A) that it in some ways actually looks worse than the Wii original because of being ported from a really low power machine and B) there's no Wiimote controls in this game that was totally made for Wiimote controls. So basically if you do buy this out of curiosity stick to the Wii version.

I'm guessing the main reason they never released the original Wii version was because it was so close to the launch of the wiiU when they finished it.

Admittedly I haven't read much of it, but Sonic the Comic from the UK seemed more in line with Sonic's 'personality' at the time. Rather than trying to make him relatable, they just took the idea of sonic as mascot with an attitude and took it to its logical conclusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcgKVFVTND8

I'd recommend starting from issue 7 and just reading the ones by Nigel Kitching and Richard Elson. There's also two series of articles on Sonic Retro called Archie plays the games and Fleetway plays the games, which just focus on how each comic adapted the games' storylines. There are lots of good moments in StC, like when Knuckles punched Carnival Night Zone clean off the floating island. Also, twice Robotnik winds up on a planet in another dimension, and has already become second in command by the time Sonic has caught up.

The Carnival Night story was great - Knuckles is all "I know how to deal with this!" and just punches the ground so hard that the entire corner of the island falls off. Then there was the one where he was dragging the Master Emerald back to the island and winds up in a straight-up parody of a horror film with a bunch of sheep in a creepy English village. And of course, Archie never had Decap Attack.
