... why? It's a pretty generic "ruritania" name.

Hoping everyone is finishing off their workday red and strong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hRo1oNZg_8 Speaking of which, what are everyone's favorite Sonic hacks? I just played through "Sonic 3 Complete." I also really enjoyed "An Ordinary Sonic ROM Hack" and "Sonic 2 XL." I'll be sure to check out the one Heran Bago posted above, too. Are there any other notable ones which add welcome polish and ideas to the originals?

Not so much a hack as it is a fangame, but I remember Sonic Before The Sequel being a fun and amusing game. You could probably do worse than it if you're looking for something free to waste time on.

I kinda liked AtS but it was a bit sketchy in parts. The hack I've liked the most is the HUD disable mod for Sonic 1, I wish that was available for all the sonics.

The primary gimmick is that you control three characters and can switch between them, but it also combines Sonic 1 and 2 into one game and adds in the Chaotix as they existed in Knuckles Chaotix. Also also it's super configurable, you could use it to just play as Charmy through Sonic 1 or whatever.

I just tried that out. It was surprisingly fun to play two-player in Chaotix mode (bound together). Come to think of it, I'd love if someone hacked/ported Chaotix back to Genesis so I'd never have to plug in my 32X again.

I'm most impressed when they go all out with new artwork, levels, enemies, bosses, music, etc. My all-time favorite might be Sonic 1 Brother Trouble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOud3cnU908 Other notables are The S Factor: Sonia and Silver, Mobius Evolution, Sonic 1 CD edition, Pantufa the Cat, Socket the Hedgeduck, there are so many and things have been impressive in recent years. In last year's Sonic hacking contest there were great hacks including a short one I can't find again with a visually amazing boss, Sonic Back 2 The Future with CD-style time travel to go between 16-bit and 8-bit versions of levels, Sonic 1 Warped World, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles: Chaotix Edition which does what it says on the box. There are many more I have not tried. Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP9dkwr6d_Y Heran Bago fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Jan 27, 2017 |

For all the poo poo people give modern Sonic boost+homing playstyle, there sure are a lot of hacks that use it.

Most 3D fangames have awful physics and terrible design and have to use high speed and homing attacks to compensate.

Everybody who thinks the homing attack in 2D is a good idea should just play Sonic 4 and see how they like it. The drop dash from Mania looks far more sensible (though not great enough that I can accept it as a replacement for S3K's superb insta-shield).

The homing attack could work in the 2D games if it kept your forward momentum when you hit the enemies, so you bounce off exactly the same as when you jump on them, making it an easier way of hitting items and enemies with a little more precision to keep the pace up as you play. Of course Dimps are gonna Dimps, so the homing attack just slams you to a halt instead, and even if they did it as above they'd forget to restrict the physics and have Sonic blast into the stratosphere at the speed of light. Edit: Episode 2 has some good ideas and was fun to at least play through once, but good christ is Episode 1 bad.

Episode 2 is perfectly enjoyable in my opinion. Episode Metal was short but I really enjoyed it.

There's a questionably finished (iirc?) hack called Sonic Megamix that has a homing attack just like that and it's really fun to play with! Shame Dimps never got the memo.

Augus posted:The music is good but BtS is not What's wrong with it I would say it's firmly better than the worse official 2D sonic games. Not like amazing but it's free and has some fun moments to it, enough to justify spending two hours completing it imo.

I have run out of Sonic games to play on PC. I've been thinking of 100%ing CD though. Screaming Idiot posted:Is there anyone who doesn't? Honest question. Everyone I've talked to says that game is dogshit and having bought it for myself long, long ago I happen to heartily agree. Four is just so frustrating. It's ugly, it's not classic Sonic, it doesn't make sense for fans of either iteration of Sonic. I love Modern sonic in Generations, and it sucks at that. I love S3&K. It also sucks at that. What the gently caress. Yelling, etc.

I don't think it is, despite the name there doesn't look to be much of a drop component to it, it's just a burst of speed when you land. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

Oh yeah never mind then. I wasn't paying that much attention to the drop dash to be honest, I though it was slam down then dash forward for some reason.
