My opinion of the Next-Gen Sonic Trailer(56K WARN)

I disagree with your disagreement.

 

I disagree with your disagreement with his disagreement.

 

I 406 your disagreements

 

oh god what have I started...

 

You forgot Sonic Rush. That was the first Sonic (good) game to have Robotnik as the final villain instead of being cast aside by some more powerful threat for a loooooooong time.

Anyway, I have mixed feelings about this, but it's mostly good. I love the new levels we've seen, especially the obviously Venice-inspired Soleanna. In fact, much of this game seems to be giving off a Sonic CD vibe. Robotnik looks far too old. I love that they've aged the characters, but I didn't actually think they'd to it to this degree. Hell, he looks like he should be in a retirement home now! Yet, he looks much more menacing and a tad bit-crazy, instead of just plain retarded like he was in Heroes. I don't really care for the politically correct 'white' hedgehog and Shadow though.

Oh, and for everybody bitching about how crap this game is going to be, NONE OF YOU HAVE PLAYED THIS. YOU CAN NOT FORMULATE A SOPHISTICATED OPINION ABOUT SOMETHING WHICH HASN'T EVEN BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED YET.

 

Re. Robotnik, hehe, he was definitely in his prime in Sonic 2, I mean that Emerald Hill Zone car was just ... stylish. If Robotnik gets too old, they should do what Archie Comics did: Replace the old geezer Robotnik with a mechanized clone of himself, and a evil mean version at that. Evil robotics scientists CANT die.

Right?

On a side note, I hope that Metal Sonic puts in an appearance in this new game. Metal Sonic was always THE ORIGINAL Evil Sonic Clone (tm), after all.

In any event, Robotnik seemed fine in SA2 and Heroes, then in Shadow the Hedgehog started looking pretty darn old and now he does indeed look *old*. But hey, he was probably older than Sonic by a *lot* back in Sonic 1, so what do you expect?

Actually, right now, judging from that screenshot, I dare say that Sonic Team is actually adopting a more Archie Comicsish proportion for Robotnik -- that looks just like a skinnier (Julian Ivo) Robotnik's proportions, just with the Sonic Adventure coat!

I just hope that if Sonic's been adultified a bit more, that Tails might have had a growth spurt; I'm tired of Miles Prower being given a little kid voice and proportions, its time our fox boy KICKED SOME ASS, don't you think?

 

LMAO at the thought of Tails' voice breaking mid-game, and suddenly dropping to ludicrously low 'Barry White' proportions..

 

If I remember correctly, weren't YOU one of the people at the DK Vine forums who complained about Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, before THAT was even released? If so, then you're making yourself sound like a hypocrite, right now.

 

They should have made "Sonic The Hedgehog" and "Shadow and Friends" as two different games. When I want to play a Sonic game I'm not looking for GTA or Half-Life 2 stuff.

 

...Sumarises this thread, much like every other next-gen Sonic game thread that anticipated a new release. Jesus, of course it's not old Sonic. How could anyone expect it to be? The market's changed. The technology's changed. Sonic has changed. Deal with it, don't whine and sulk on a forum, for the love of God.

EDIT: Grammar / syntax fix.

...Further editing: As for my oppinion, if I get a '360, I might rent the game to try it out before I consider purchasing it. It looks rather good. Of course, I don't really care for video games anymore (least of all Sonic the Hedgehog), and I'd only really get a '360 if someone else got it for me at christmas or if Halo 3 comes out or somethin'. :P

 

I personally like Eggman's new design. He looks more evil this way. Also, Princesses and Humanoid robots? Well, anyone who has ever picked up an Archie Sonic Comic without spitting on it, I don't see how you can complain. :P
I personally don't see why there's so much hatred already. If you hate it going in, no way are you going to be satisfied. Then when you don't like it (or continue not liking it) you can moan for another few years about how you hate Sonic Team and how Sega has abandoned you, and so on and soforth... Then when the next game comes along, rinse and repeat.

 

Well yeah. What else are people going to talk about when new footage is released of an upcoming game in the series that this message board revolves around? Honestly.

 

...Have you checked Muffin_man's signature lately? :P

 

To be honest I hope this game isn't gonna get absolutely slashed by hardcore sonic fans just because naka lied about the game "taking sonic back to his roots".

If you are like this, get over it for fuck's sake.
So he lied. Big Whoop. Sonic Games have moved on From the old days, like technology and many other things. If so fucking bothered about the old days, either move on or go play those games for the rest of your time. This is only my opinion though.

And don't get me started on shadow. Just because The Marmite Hedgehog's appearing in this game, doesn't mean it'll suck. I admit, vehicles again are disappointing, but maybe SONIC TEAM have learnt from their mistakes. Just be thankful Sonic's not using Weapons and Vehicles. And because the White guy resembles shadow slightly doesn't mean he's just gonna be a shadow clone. For Christ's sake, at least he is slightly original looking (quills).

Sure the new games probably won't be as good as the old days but I seriously doubt Sonic Team are gonna be making 2D sonic games for Home Consoles anytime soon. Move On, I have.

This is all my opinion though. You have your own.

Have a go at me all you want. You won't be changing my opinion.

 

I'm getting an XBox 360 at the summer vacation just for this =P

 

Does anyone know Naka personally? Or are you all feeling betrayed for no reason other than you're miserable and wistfully hoping that you'll get another shitty 2D Sonic game, putting your faith into a man you don't know?

EDIT: I have a sneaky susspicion that I've worded this in a way that'll be misinterperated. I hope it won't be.
