Sonic is coming!!!

*Spike Spiegel* · 11-17-2006, 04:56 PM

New Sonic the Hegehog is coming to Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, and the original Genesis game is coming to GBA! what do you guys think??

Doppleganger · 11-17-2006, 09:17 PM

Heh! I might get a Xbox 360 just for that. No way I'm getting a PS3 now.. *shivers*

**Barkworm** · 11-18-2006, 02:45 AM

I think if you got a 360 for Sonic you'd be missing the point.

*Spike Spiegel* · 11-18-2006, 10:15 AM

Hey Barkworm you're a BatFan huh??? Me too...

I myself don't want any new systems except maybe a DS...I'm a GBA and PS2 kind'a guy...and plus I think the "new" next-gen is overrated and overpriced.

I just want the Genesis port for my awesome GBA SP...

*laughs* Oh you mean the Xbox live, the great graphics, and every other feature? Oh well there's that. I don't know...it'd be an impulse buy so perhaps I'd be better without one. Like Grandpa would say I have to do my REEESEARCH!!!

I saw it on the shelf at EB for 360, but after that abysmal demo, I refuse to go near it.

Speaking of the Sonic demo, I've heard some pretty bad things, too...

I thought the controlls in the demo left alot to be desired. I also felt like Sonic was going to fly off the screen alot, and he did fall off a cliff a few times. Although, once I got used to it, and played more carefully, it wasn't that bad.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-19-2006, 02:29 AM

Well, if even the fansites hate it that bad, I feel is just might be the right time for me to bid farewell to the Hedgehog. This burns me to the core, but I'm not watching him get pissed on anymore. Perhaps Sonic Wii will turn out better, or suck just as much ****. I dunno'. Either way, I think we can call this done.

God rest your soul Sonic the Hedgehog.

....oh hell, you all know I'm going to get it anyway.

Ra · 11-19-2006, 02:38 AM

How did it go so wrong? One blue hedgehog with super speed in 3D. How did it end up like this?

Shmeh. I'm more of a fan to the old-school side-scrolling Soinc games anyway.

*Brodie* · 11-19-2006, 03:34 AM

The Wii version should be good, only playing as Sonic, and all.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 11-19-2006, 03:38 AM

I heard sonic on the gba doesn't play at full speed or something. Slowdowns and all. Still I might buy it because it's sonic but then there is the wii and it's Virtual Console.

*Hannah* · 11-19-2006, 08:58 AM

Ugh. This looks horrible. It just pisses me off so much. We don't need another crappy hedgehog, Shadow was enough. Thanks alot, SEGA.

Hopefully Silver and Shadow elope to a state where
gay hedgehog marriage is legal and we never see them again.

I lol'd.
And as dumb as the plot for Secret Rings is, I'm hoping it does well. It's looks like alot more fun to play.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-19-2006, 12:35 PM

Anybody who buys Sonic on GBA needs brain surgery. Honestly, it's a bad port on a system that can't handle the gameplay, or emulate the music. It's a bad idea a thousand different ways. Buy the real deal on the Virtual Console, not the GBA crap. They are just milking your love for the character, and they don't care to do a good job anymore.

Peanut · 11-19-2006, 04:24 PM

The Wii Sonic is like a f*cking racing game. All you do is turn the control around, like Excite Truck.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 11-19-2006, 04:44 PM

Anyone that wants classic Sonic should just by Sonic Mega Collection.

Here, here. Sonic hasn't been in a noteworthy game since the Saturn days, anyway.

Peanut · 11-19-2006, 04:56 PM

Honestly, I don't think Sonic has been in a noteworthy game period. Sonic 2, 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were decent games, but I don't think they're worth all the respect they get. Half the time you're not even playing a Sonic game, you're just watching him fly around hoops really fast or zip through pipes.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 11-19-2006, 06:57 PM

You are right Peanut. The Sonic games do seem to be lacking something in that sometimes you just hold the joy stick a certain direction and he just runs. It is kind of lame. Although, I am a Sonic fan and I am going to buy the 360 game.

I know that doesn't make sense.

Add Edit: I think Sonic 1, 2, and 3 are great games. I like them better than his 3D games.

No, that's not true at all. I know it's a stereotype that Sonic games only involve holding one direction and watching the character run through the level as fast as possible, but there's a lot more to it than that. When I bought Sonic Jam not too long ago, I went through and played the original 4 games, and there's actually less running than you'd expect. There are a lot of timed jumps, puzzle-like traps, enemies with unique abilities, and other platforming elements that give the games much more depth than you're giving them credit for. Stereotypes like this (and the expectations that people have because of them) are probably part of what is causing the newer games to not be as fun as the classic ones.
