What I propose we do, is when the game comes out is to put all of these complaints into as well-written and lucid of a package as possible. Format each issue to be as technically correct as you can make it. Make sure to state how and why certain gameplay principles are bad, and why the classic games did things certain ways and for what reasons. Then send in these design documents. If every member writes their own well thought out document and sends it in separately, you'll effectively be giving them an army behind them that knows what they want.

Are you actually being serious? I can't tell and it's not a dig at you but things like this never work in practice. This game is the way it is because nobody on the development side of things actually cares. If they did the game would have been very different right from the start. The game will be enjoyed by people outside the fanbase and issues will go untouched. It's a shame but I can't see that changing.

Heaven forbid we have more control over Sonic's movement than ever before.

You want absolute control over Sonic? Use the debug mode in the classic games and you can move him anywhere you want with pixel-perfect precision. Sure he won't look like Sonic, but you'll have a lot of other graphics to pick from. But who cares about what he looks like when you have 100% control of his exact position in the level? You'll laugh at gravity, because you'll be able to fly at will. Walls? Why care about them, just go right through.

Shit, more control is not good. More control like in Sonic 4 is just plain poor physics simulation. If I wanted to immediately move in the direction I press I'd use debug mode, like I said above. I want proper gravity, acceleration, inertia... is that too much to ask for? I swear, I would forgive everything else in this game that is also of dubious quality (art, music, rehashed content, modern design... everything!) if the physics was done right. Out of everything they got wrong in this game, the physics is undoubtedly the most serious one. By far.

You know, if all you plan to do is be dicks to each other for pages upon pages, I may as well just close this thread.

I don't think closing the thread is a real solution. It's a faux attempt at adminstering the few bad apples in the group.

If this is the case, I'm completely okay with it.

If you guys have an actual line of discussion, wrap it up now. As soon as the release date for this game is announced, this thread will be locked until the game is released. From that point, discussion will resume only on the basis of opinions on the game once it is released and once people have played it. I am so tired of people running their fucking mouths about thoughts and possibilities and I'm sick of it. Like hell you guys will be pulling this shit again with episode 2 when that's announced.

At the risk of sounding cheeky, isn't that what the Sonic scene is founded on? What's the point of having a forum if we're not supposed to share our thoughts and speculation? >_>

This thread is a special case.

There's thoughts and speculation. And then there's hitting your head against a wall until it's inside out.

Let me blunt.

You've said your piece. Some of you have literally said your piece more than 500 times in this topic. You talk in circles, you have baseless speculation, you snipe at each other, you think he who talks the most wins, you go off-topic for pages on end, and then you have the audacity to whine about not getting to continue this?

The whole idea behind Sonic Retro is that there would be a mature area where people could actually talk like adults about Sonic and Sega video games and not resort to the level of discussion held on the Sega forums or other Sonic websites, but there are so many of you intent on dragging discussion down to an eight-year-old mentality that it sickens not only me but the rest of the staff. We're trying to raise the bar here and there's a crowd of you who love knocking it down because you think that will make you insightful or witty or popular or something and all it does is make you horribly repellent.

This immaturity WILL not stand. We've tried suspending, we've tried being nice, we've tried pointing out specifics—and all of these normal moderation tactics have failed.

Closing the thread seems to be the only way to keep some of you from spewing verbal vomit all over this forum. From here on out, this thread will only be open to post updates from a few select people.

[Aquaslash]

You now have release date and price info

You all have literally have just over two weeks.

[Aquaslash]

Mad Gear Zone Trailer

This should probably be the last update before the game...unless they do the site.

[Aquaslash]

iDevice Trailer

Ok, so I was wrong about the updates. Whatever.

[Aquaslash]

Main Site Updated

Casino Night Street goodies are now available. Will probably have Mad Gear before the week is out.
