Lost World had the worst controls of any game I've played in a good long while. It just felt unpleasant to even play. Maybe you can get used to it eventually, but I only made it through the first world before stuffing it back in the Gamefly envelope.

Sonic 4 is also the sequel to Sonic CD apparently.

I tried playing Sonic 1 on iOS using the touch controls and could not beat the first boss.Waldorf Sixpence posted:So what's the difference between a regular port and the super special iPhone port? I know the engine was supposedly rebuilt from scratch or something but what does that do that emulation can't?

The one mission I remember in DX was the one I could never complete. It involved doing some sort of special high jump off a ramp during the snow boarding sequence. I tried for hours but could never get the timing down to pull it off. Whatever that last Game Gear game was I never got the chance to play it.

beep by grandpa posted:Thinking about sonic today- what kinda drink do you all think sonic would order at a bar? Surely a man with as much on his plate needs to cool his heels from time to time (no offense if sonic doesn't drink due to moral/religious reasons) 🍸 Sonic's official stance is that only dumb-bots drink liquor.

I thought the lack of a casino type stage was a glaring omission is Generations so this pleases me.

Barudak posted:I have always, do still, and will always be completely unable to control 2d mario with any sense of percision. Dont know why, but Im unbelievably bad at 2d mario games. Somehow still beat every mario game released on the GB probably because sucking at mario is still better than reading a book in a car. The GB Mario physics are each their own flavor of weird. They don't really compare with any of the console entries.

Bacon Terrorist posted:If anyone could point me in the direction of similar platformers available on PS4 for her to play that would be greatly appreciated. Yeah, Freedom Planet is going to be the closest in gameplay style. She might also enjoy Tembo the Badass Elephant. Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is another good choice if you want a fun colorful 2d platformer but it doesn’t really play similar to Sonic at all.

The Advance games had pretty unremarkable level design that got worse as they went. Everything was just a series of grind rails and loops with no real landmarks to give you a sense of where you were in the level.

Looper posted:i played the first two game gear games this week and let me tell ya... The first 8-bit Sonic game is pretty interesting. It feels like the team got a few notes but didn’t have much communication with Sonic Team so they ended up making something closer to Mario than Sonic.

It's from the same people that made that Mega Man series that was quietly put out to die a couple years back so that's probably the style you can expect.

They're probably replacing everyone with a Canadian cast for the Netflix cartoon.

The partner system in Advance 3 sounded awesome on paper but they couldn’t come up with any useful ideas for the teams and if you wanted to find the chao Knuckles+Tails was the only worthwhile choice as they’re the only combo that can get to all of them. Some teams were just stupid like Tails+Cream where Tails forgets how to fly.

Amy in Advance 1 was a neat way to implement what was basically a “hard” mode. If I can say one thing to Dimps’ credit it’s that I liked their character additions to the 2D formula a lot more than Mighty and Ray in Mania.

Larryb posted:In other news, apparently Roger stepped down from the role of Sonic willingly: It seems like there's still a possibility of different voice casts between the games and Sonic Prime. Mike has only confirmed that he will be voicing Eggman in future games but I think he still won't say anything about Prime. Colleen said she was not voicing Tails in Prime but I haven't seen her say anything else other than she'd like to voice him in the second movie but can't say more than that.

Sony still do presentations, they just don't bother with E3 anymore. They'll probably have a State of Play later this summer.
