Sonic Lost World (Wii U, 3DS, PC) Megathread

Oh what I mean is like they were originally set up that way. Like the levels you assumed to be for Windy Hill were meant to be that way. There is a old lua handling that had them in the order you'd expect them to be. But they made these X** levels like Xbee XCas XSea1 XSea2 and Xind (cave levels) and tried fitting them in to places.

So originally each 'world' was supposed to get a hard level at the end and then reset. That's why that difficulty got a bit increased in some later levels when some other levels were easy.

Heres the old one you can see the point where they stopped and started adding more stuff into it. Theres more after where this ends but they seem to have old testing levels listed in here and Colors level names listed as well.

Umm...

I'm sorry, but I don't think they'll lose lots of money if they port one or two Sonic games to the Vita. And it's not like Vita games don't sell at all, regardless of the console's current sales itself. Also, if they released 3 games on the Wii U (a console that has sold even less than the Vita), then I think they won't have a problem with one or two ports for Vita.

 

I can't say much about cost-to-sales ration on the Vita, but the Wii U games were obviously part of some sort of agreement between Nintendo and Sega linked to, but not necessarily only for that, Sonic's return in Smash 4. Sonic Lost World is announced and just a month before release suddenly Sonic is confirmed for Smash, coincidence? There is also the M&S series to consider, or the Sonic amiibo compatible with games like Mario Maker.

 

Okay, I understand.

 

It's too short notice for me. If they'd announced it last week I might've considered.

 

If they are holding an event just for the PC version of this game then they might have something to announce or show off :D

 

Absolutely amazing. Because of how I came here out of the blue and asked for such a thing, I didn't actually expect for somebody to help me, this is why I just returned and saw this. Please continue if you can, your effort will be greatly appreciated.

 

Wishful thinking, but I hope they're also announcing Sonic Unleashed and Colors PC because ugh Lost World.

 

After looking into the venue (quite the gamer-centric bar from the sounds of it), I've booked in and should be attending the event. I can attempt a write up on Sunday if needed.

Edit: It is strange that there's this event purely for the PC release, it'll be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Also, I'm a little sceptical that they're gonna show off the Wii U version as a placeholder. Just a thought in the back of my mind, though.

 

So, according to my timehop yesterday, this game was release 2 years ago yesterday. Letting it sit with me and stew, yeah, this game was kinda garbage. I know we established this already. One of my posts in this thread 2 years ago was stating that IGN and Gamespot's score of 6 out of 10 was a accurate score. Now, the way they played it was bad, but the score was accurate. In fact, I would rate it a bit lower. I don't understand how Sega could release such a game that just threw away all the good will they had with Colors and Generations. Now they're releasing it on PC and expect people to buy it. I'm just so confused as to why. I feel not even modding could make this game enjoyable. Just introduce some okay levels.

 

You're not the only one hoping that, I can tell you that much :v:

I can't imagine what they'd be holding an event like this for other than something along those lines, though. Seems kinda oddly specific to me that they'd have a community event like this just for the PC version of a 2-year-old game that had a relatively lukewarm reception.

 

Oh man some of the stories I could tell you.

Not Sonic related, and not PC related, but Day 1 patches are a thing of beauty.

By a thing of beauty I actually mean a crutch that has over the years turned into an enabler of crunch nightmares for devs.

 

I'm going to be going to this too, might even make a little video about it if there's anything noteworthy.

 

I wonder if the controls are actually improved at all, or if it's just just a case of someone saying "it's not the GamePad so now I like it more"? Cause the controls in Lost World were absolutely fine (in the sense that they worked). I doubt anything has actually changed in regards to how Sonic moves/is controlled. The finicky parkour, instantly stopping when there's no directional input, two separate jump buttons that do different actions in air, and Sonic's total loss of speed when turning are unlikely to be any differentl. If they'd done anything like that, then I'd have expected SEGA to be pushing a whole "revamped control scheme" or something. Also IIRC the evidence points to SEGA Europe managing the port, since they're SEGA's big PC guys now.
