Generations kinda missed an opportunity to throw in Tails/Knuckles for at least the classic stages.

I always felt like Colours gave them a pretty decent template for bringing the old style of multiple characters to the new games

Like, with a little tweaking Hover could be Tails' flying ability, Knuckles could have a version of Drill, Sonic would keep Boost of course and each character would just have slightly different acceleration/speed/jump height and an inherent, meter based ability that would let them reach slightly different areas of the same platforming stages

Colours desperately needs more stages, not different ways to play the same old stages again.

Make good Sonic levels and then let the player unlock Tails in the late game and just fly over them.

Fang was in Sonic Mania and he is a main boss in the incredible Sonic Robo Blast 2 Game. But yeah I agree he rules.

Oddly enough though, only Vector seems to be getting that much exposure these days (being playable in Team Sonic Racing, the Sonic Boom version of the mobile game Sonic Dash plus an appearance or two in the show itself and I think Sonic Free Riders as well). Not sure why.

Meanwhile, I think the last time the other two were playable was in another mobile game called Sonic Runners Adventure (though the entire gang did make a few appearances in Forces at least).

He was called Nack in the US (and in the Archie comic) for a while as well.

Oh, cool. Let's call him that then, Nack is way better than Fang.

NACK was the original name in Japan but they changed his name to Fang at the very last minute because nobody at Sega ever talked to each other and they had no idea that the mega drive division was creating a character named NACKLES at the exact same time

Huh, that’s the second animal I never knew existed until the Sonic series (the first being the echidna)

Fun Fact: The Archie comic also gave him a sister named Nic (as in “Knick Knack”)

So he’s basically Beat from the later Megaman games then. A pity but it seems like it could be a useful thing to have in some areas.

Also the concept of an open world Sonic game both intrigues and worries me (technically they have done stuff like that in the past though like the Sonic World game in Sonic Jam and sort of in Rise of Lyric).

I’ll probably still give Rangers a try because I am a consumer whore for this franchise (except for Shuffle and Free Riders which I’ve never played and probably never will) but I hope all this development time produces an at least passable final product.

Doctor_Fruitbat

Let's all remember that we've seen a short teaser trailer and know absolutely nothing else about the game whatsoever.

I'll definitely buy Rangers though, because if the Forces demo didn't stop me then probably nothing will.

Hail to the King, baby.

I'm most excited for Origins so I can finally have all the classic Genesis games in one place on both PlayStation and Switch. Finally.

I'm also excited for Colors since I never played that one but I'm keeping my expectations in check for that. I don't hate the boost formula but I don't really love it either. I beat Unleashed earlier this year and kind of hated it.

I have zero feelings about Rangers for now until we see some more real info on it. I'm keeping my expectations low haha. It's sad that the best we can hope for is a passable, competent game. :P

Larryb
Oct 5, 2010

Origins I’m only getting if it contains the Taxman remakes and/or something else significantly new/different as otherwise I already own all the classic games via other collections.

I imagine we might get some more concrete info on Rangers at E3 in a few weeks but we’ll see.

Larryb
Oct 5, 2010

At the very least I hope Sonic Rangers has more Crush 40 songs (they came back for a racing game so why not a main title?)

Also I'm hoping the title means there will be more playable characters than just Sonic.

LOL Yuji Naka's leaving the game biz for good from how hard his lovely 'Balan Wonderworld' game flopped:-

I dunno, I cant say I feel bad for him, he made an outstandingly obviously lovely game, it's hard not to think he has nothing to contribute anymore...

He made a game that somehow makes Mighty No. 9 look passable by comparison (though to be fair, that wasn’t entirely his fault).

Well according to today's episode of What Happen, he sabotaged the development of Sonic Xtreme on the off chance that an American studio would make a better sonic game than him, rather than recognizing that the sonic brand was.. you know.. important to Sega as a whole.

Didn’t he...work in California with an American Team on Sonic 2? Wasn’t City Escape a shout-out to his old studio there?
