Project Needlemouse: old threads

I love the way that they used the classic sound effects in that trailer -- listen for the jump and spin! :D

 

Let me start off by just saying WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I saw this article today at Uni, and the people around me couldn't understand my excitement ^^;
And then I come home to a 17 page long thread of Retro. Though, I'm not surprised.

Also, I noticed a few people being a bit skeptical about the emphasis on speed in the trailer, but isn't that exactly what they did with the trailers/advertisements for the classics back in the 90's? I know when I was a kid, I would only associate Sonic with speed and ignore other elements.

 

I'm more worried about the background(s). Just hoping it's better than the ones in the Sonic Rush games.

 

HD huh? I would have preferred the Mega Man 9 approach, like if they used genesis style graphics. Still though, this sounds promising! First time in a lot of years that I'm excited for a new Sonic game.

 

I'm not terribly excited about this, with it coming out next year. But I am fairly certain that I can look forward to another enjoyable game. After all, I've had at least some fun with every game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series that I've played (never touched a PS3, 360 or Pocket Adventure).

 

Nah, they're using the technology of today, which is a good thing. We've moved ahead and the old games looked like shite. The pile of pixels only worked in Megaman 9 because of a. nostalgia and b. it's a sequal to an incomplete series. Sonic was a complete series.

Anyway, FUCK YEAH! Sega, if you make this game great, I might have some respect for you again... You just MAY redeem yourself.

 

This sounds promising, can't wait to see some actual screens. I just hope they at least get some input from Oshima, Yamaguchi and Yasuhara (and perhaps even some programming tips from Naka).

Those platform shapes remind me a little of the style used in some of the Sonic 1 concept art, by the way.

I just hope they don't treat this as a 2D "special" game, that they will make it simply a novelty. I want a gripping, addictive and immersive game that makes me want to play it.

You wanna be startin' somethin'?

Also, funny thing that complete series bullshit you're pullin', considering 2 of the original games were pretty much rushed.

 

Why haven't Sega themselves put out this trailer on all their facebook, youtube etc accounts? I'm getting worried someone is having us on. I doubt it, but you know, it wouldn't be the first time a website put out a fake trailer.

 

Let's take this outside, coyote.

It was! There was Megaman 1-8 and Megaman X 1-9. If that's not incomplete, what is? There never was a Sonic 4 planned or indication there would be one. Games are supposed to be evolving, not sticking with 16-bit pixels.

Oh, and believe me, I LIKE Megaman :0

 

Holy hell... praying to the Hylian goddesses worked! Sonic is (supposedly) coming back to us! :D

It doesn't, the Classic Title Ring is distorting the appearance. It actually looks more like classic-head on NG-body

 

Id very much like them to do away with the boost bar if they do this, or at very least, not have the ability to do it indefinatly. I like smashing badguys with a spin attack, just running through them has always been kinda hollow

But ultimatly, we only know one thing about this game, that is 2D. Could be like Sonic1 Genesis, we know it can be done lol Althought I would like to belive that Sonicteam/sega cant feck up a 2d adventure

I just wonder if there going the "full bown game" route, or doing a "megaman9" and skipping physical retail all together.

 

Have you read the topic and learnt that both Tweaker and Sun warned posting The Cycle warrants a suspension, or are you just dumb?

 

I'm sure he meant to post this pic instead.

 

yeah lets go with that.

But yeah, just outta bed, 17pages... wont happen again, god forbid let me be human lol

 

HOLY SHIT, IT'S FROM SONIC CRACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111ONEEEEEEEE

hay guise am I late to the party?

I'm not reading all nine pages because fuck off, so I'll just say that I'm not going to invest any more than a casual interest in this would-be-fantastic new title until I see some evidence (screenshots/videos) of gameplay to determine whether it'll actually be any good. Sorry, but I need more than a video spouting meaningless buzzwords ("SPEED RETURNS" etc. - it never really left, except for a disastrous moment that culminated in Labyrinth, it's just mutated so many times that it's only evident in a Boost button that fires you off in a supersonic fart at a thousand miles per hour, but I digress) and a nondescript blue orb collecting golden shinies against a black void before I cream my pants.

I will say, also, that having read part of that Wentos article, I'm not at all happy with the implication that the Wii games, and their users, are nothing more than cashcows to Sega/Sonic Team and it's only people who own a PS3 or 360 who actually matter. That kind of discrimination was fine when Sega were making their own games for their own consoles and needed to smash the opposition, but they can't afford to be picky when they're a third-party developer for multiple platforms.

And I haven't decided which'll be worse; if they build this game as 360/PS3-only because lol graphics or release a watered-down, inferior Wii version because apparently we're all pansies who'll suck up anything with the Sonic brand and fuel their future substandard endeavours.
