Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

Angler of Lake Asparagus said:
Just a quick question, Sonic fans: Have we ever had a thread dealing with other classic Sega franchises like Shinobi, Wonder Boy, Outrun, Alex Kidd, etc.? And if we did, would anybody care enough to make it worthwhile? I get the feeling Sonic is the only Sega franchise people care about here.

No we've never had any other Sega related threads only Sonic and honestly some one should make a Sega thread for Sega's other series since they hardly are ever appreciated. C'mon boyo where's my Gunstar Heroes at.
 
Well, Puyo is a SEGA series and the thread for it is the most active one of the General Gaming section (much to my surprise), but yeah that's it, I thought we had a NiGTHS thread, but turns out we really don't.
 
I don't like the name Sonic Forces. There's memes written all over it.

SONIC FORCES
His fans to stop talking about Sonic Adventure 3

SONIC FORCES
You to buy his game

SONIC FORCES
His ¢ö¢k down your throat

SONIC FORCES
You to be too slow
 

So the second episode of Low Poly focuses on Sonic the Hedgehog, And it's actually pretty interesting to watch.
Now I will admit, I am a bit disappointed that he didn't really look at the handheld and spin off models (Especially since he did just that with Mario.) But that aside, it's a neat and interesting look into how our favorite blue hedgehog has evolved since his jump into 3D, so go and check it out. (And also check out the Mario one if you hadn't, as that one is just as, if not more interesting then the Sonic one.)
 
So... Any idea on what the new character could be that isn't Bubsy? To me, he doesn't look like a cat like character, but I also can't quite put my finger on what kind of character it could be.

(The new character for those wondering what Hex was talking about.)
Honestly though it's too early to say, we've seen practically nothing of the new character that gives off anything even remotely close to an answer. (They might as well not show him.)
The only thing i'm hoping for is that it ain't some user created avatar like some are speculating it is. Seriously we don't need shitty user OCs contaminating the games.
Oh yeah and in other news, Gameplay for Classic just got shown off today.

Now we did get a snippet of the gameplay in the last Nintendo Direct, but I felt that it wasn't enough to really talk about it,
But now that we actually got something to talk about, lemme express my thoughts on it,
first of all, I'm not a big fan of Green Hill returning for the 4th/5th time in a row, now I don't have anything against Green Hill in anyway,
and I think People have forgotten that Green Hill was a very common occurence back in the classic days. (The Handheld Games, Sonic Jam, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic the Fighters, etc) but the fact that SEGA is starting to constantly rely on the zone since Generations
plus just how bland and lifeless it looks compared to Mania's GHZ and even Generations GHZ, which has a lot of love and detail packed into it, plus the fact that this is coming right off the heels of Modern's gameplay footage, seeing GHZ again (Especially since it's coming out in the same year as Sonic Mania.) did kinda set me off, but I do feel like there's more to this then we're seeing, from the desert in the background to the more frantic tone of the music as opposed to the usual laid back tone of Green Hill (Is it just me or is anyone else getting massive Sonic 4 vibes from the music here.) It feels like there's more to this then meets the eye, (Though it could very well just be GHZ again.) now I will say this though, Classic Sonic looks stiff as hell in the gameplay footage, like for example when he hits a spring or an emeny, he just stops and drops like a rock, it looks awkward as hell and doesn't seem to have any flow to his movements, I know Generations was a lot like that as well, (Though after playing it just recently, it felt like there was more flow to his movements there then what we're seeing here, but I don't know really?) but considering that this is coming right off the heels of Sonic Mania, seeing this just looks awkward as hell IMO, now I wouldn't judge the gameplay based on this video alone, as none of us have really played it, but that's just the vibes I'm getting from it so far. (And hey it could still be enjoyable in it's own right as I did enjoy Classic in Generations and it looks far better then what I saw in the Nintendo Direct.)

It looks promising. Let's hope Sega is in the mood to make a good game like they were with Colors and Generations.
 
I don't know if they wanted to make Classic Sonic feel so stiff in the game since I also thought that when I watched the gameplay. It's also strange to make him play like that since Mania is also around the corner, but they're also giving him the drop dash as shown in certain parts of the gameplay. Green Hill Zone itself I'm not too excited for since TB100 has already explained, and it really isn't as detailed as Generation's version. I do want to know how Eggman managed to take away the entire water from the place and how does it remain green without it.

some people are legitimately upset that character customization is a thing.

Ahh... F#@K it. I can see why some people are upset. This came out of nowhere, but the fact is that sonic team actually did this...... its just mine-blowing, and we cant change it. so screw it. lets just accept that sega did this and make a OC.
