Does Sonic Work in 3-D?

I personally think 2-D is better for Sonic games.

 

The 3D Games are good, but Sonic Advance was definatly most fun I'd had since the early Sonic games. The 3D Sonic games just aren't as playable, only in my opinion though.

 

None of the games nowadays live up to their standards. The only games that were actually well playable were the Sonic's 1-3K. They employed all the coolness that is what Sonic is today. The 3D games only make the games and levels easier to play, and make it much easier to defeat the bosses. And the newer Sonic 2D games include about half of the Sonic genesis game's stuff. Frankly, the old games are much better.

 

2D is the way Sonic was invented in, and it will always give the best results.

Now the 3-d games aren't bad (not that I've played them). The thing that makes Sonic bad is that it's no longer about the games, it's about the characters. All n00bs go "shadow I lov u!!1!" and Sonic Team makes money out of it.

 

The problem with the seperate routes stuff was that the way it was set up was such that you could access the other route with a character who wasn't intended to access it.

A better way would be to load different level layouts for each character.

 

Son?cmon! Gotta catch them all!

 

Maybe they should make a 3-D version of Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Although I think they're gonna need a LOT of disc sapce [if they put it on Computer, Playstation 2, Xbox, or Nintendo Gamecube]. Also the speed of it all will need to be considered.... and the graphics from the Hyper-powered characters. Then again maybe not 'cause it's gonna cost a lot of money.

 

Although I do like the Sonic games being in 3-d, I prefer them being in 2-d. This is because it is classic, and really nice IMO. I really think side-scrolling 2-dimensional games are awesome, with 3 dimensional special stages. If they want to make a 3-d game, they should make it with an overhead view of your character so you know where the heck you are going.

 

While that's a cryptic message, I see what you say and agree. Pok?mon was ruined by Nintendo's frivolous overmarketing of the product (the incorrect choice of age to market it at and the emphasis of the RPG part of the game lasting roughly 20 hours as opposed to the strategy element which is infinite) and will never recover.

 

Yeah sorry, I kind of broke the Trial Member rules with that post :$
Basically I was referring to the way LOst pointed out that Sonic is becoming more centered around the characters, which is what Pokemon is all about. I'm also worried about the amount of Characters Sega keep adding to Sonic, and I hope to dear god it doesn't end up as bloated as Pokemon.

As for what you said about marketing, I fully agree.

 

agreed, get rid of Big and Cream plz.

EDIT: and Chao

 

Ya, Big, Cream, and Cheese don't have much of a role in the games and the TV shows [nothing big to be precise].

 

I wasn't just talking about Cheese, I was talking about Chao in general, I hate them.

 

I think Sonic Adventure lived up to the Sonic name. They did a good job on everybodies levels exept Big (DIE BIG DIE). Sonic Adventure 2 has levels that are way too repetitive. As for Sonic Heroes, I still need to rent and try it out. As for the glitches and stuff, I almost never have problems with the cameras or falling through floors.

 

I think the games pretty much crapped out on themselves after the year 1995, which was the year of the Shitty Sonic.

The 3D Games are decent, but they don't have that certain feel. Neither do the recent 2D games (Advanced, Battle, Pinball Party).

Blah.

 

I hate the way they changed sonic. When he had shorter spikes, he was cool, but now with his mile long spikes, he's just a sonic wannabe. Super sonic actually looked cool in 2d, but in the sonic adventures, he's a simple recolor of sonic. Also, now you can only play as super sonic when you face the (secret) final boss, and the games follow the same pattern: finishing with sonic brings you to the final boss, whilst if you finish with everyone collecting all the emeralds, you fight the 'secret' boss as <_< super sonic
