im actually more psyched about the other project that looked like generations 2, because classic sonic trilogy is not THAT good, and generations modern sonic was a great reflex challenge and speedrun game. Generations classic sonic was fun for moments but it felt really really off

i should give CD another go sometime. Trying to go 100% on every sonic game every time i played them made me loathe them a lot, but since I became the chill gamer, i enjoyed them a lot more.
i recall cd having a lot of really strange design in some stages. not as a good or bad thing, just out of the norm.

classic gens had a thing that really really bothered me that i dont know to describe other than as "tiering" or "thresholds" of speed.
like, if you were going between certain speeds and ran up say a quarter pipe, the game seems like it would launch you a set amount of units. i mean, i guess its fine, since you can more tightly control level design and the flow of paths, but i felt it artificial as hell

though it did take them like 6 years to put out chu chu rocket on phones

sonic games even if bad have always had some really good tracks so when i heard lost world had super generic music i felt really sad but i watched a gameplay vid and liked the first stage song

because of how good rooftop run is i think guitars and violins work really well for sonic somehow

Lost World has great music, it's the same composers as Unleashed and Generations iirc.

Its an amazing track

its such a great stage too, probably my favourite in all the games.
Designing stages based on real life places and more importantly focusing on architecture made unleashed really memorable to me.

on the other end of the spectrum, i loving love bright color pretty lights all over the place at fast speeds, so sonic colors's aesthetic clicked perfectly with me

unleashed is where they started bringing their a game on graphics (this is on pc so it might be cheating a bit, but the art direction was still rock solid)

and generations was cool cause seeing old zones reimagined like this was a treat for long time fans

that video reminds me of how much it pisses me off that unleashed style games apply a high pass filter over the cool music whenever you boost, and once you get good at the games you never stop boosting

anyway i just remembered that for a side game, and one that is average as can be, sonic 3d blast had an a+ soundtrack (genesis, havent played saturn and i dont think i ever will)

we all know panic puppet 1 and diamond dust for good reason but man, rusty ruins was cool as hell
