Sonic Generations Discussion

[Shigs]

I'm surprised no one has made a forum thread for this yet.

Anyway, here's the link for the trailer.

So let's see.....we've got...

Modern Sonic still doing Unleashed/Colors moves.

A version of Green Hill zone that is mostly white except for the trail Sonic is running on. (Frozen in timeperhaps)

Sonic leaps into the air and Classic Sonic enters the picture! He short and fat and bouncy and dare I say it, way more animated and cooler in design than modern Sonic.

I am pumped!! E3 cannot come soon enough. I want to see more of this!

We were discussing it in the thread "So... Has anyone noticed... (Sega/Sonic related)", but a dedicated topic makes far more sense.

Yeah, very cool stuff. Can't wait for more info! Like, say, a freakin' title!

Hmm, looks like it has potential. Nice to see classic Sonic in there. Not so nice to see sliding, but it's a teaser trailer so...

Fingers crossed it turns out well.

CGI concept teaser... cock teasers.

CGI concept treaser... cock teasers.

If this is how they tease a cock, then I say go for it! Feels fantastic!

People have been talking about it in the 'So... Has anyone noticed... (Sega/Sonic related)' thread.

But from now on this is the official topic, TEND TO IT SHIGS! Don't leave us for Sonic Stadium again, you're better than that. ;P

Ok, lets get this show started:




IMO Segas biggest ever problem WAS listening to Sonic fans... Whilst now some of them are singing the right tune, at the time the most incriminating games were coming out Sonic fans were clambering for Shadow spin offs, darker plots and more characters.

Pretty much ALL Sonic fans, Sonic would have never gone to shit if Sega completely ignored every Sonic fan and just continued what they were doing.



Oh and look, Sega should listen to their fans:

No, a lot of the problems we have in modern Sonic games are not from Sonic fans at all. A good example is stuff like the werehog, monsters as enemies, Bentley Jones-like music and QTEs. No one wanted these. Some liked them, but no one wanted them prior.

The Sonic fanbase is all over the place, but that is because SEGA and Sonic Team have allowed the franchise to change so much over the years. The reason those weird fans exist at all are Sonic Team's fault completely. If they never listened to the fans, then they would have kept going to Sonic 06 quality releases too. It is a Catch-22 if I ever saw one.

[George]

90% of Bentley Jones fans come from the Sonic.

Seriously, go to his facebook... his site... all comments are usually from Sonic fans.

[Sega Uranus]

That is because he was a nobody prior (still is I guess). Find me one instance of a pre-Sonic 06 thing that ever mentioned wanting him in a Sonic game, or even anything SEGA.

[Sharky]

Lets not lie, when Sonic Adventure came out on the Dreamcast I dare anyone to say they didn't think it was fucking fantastic... I did and you did... So did your friends.

Sonic Adventure introduced a lot of the problems with modern Sonic, characters, adventure feilds, deep plots, green eyes, dodgey cameras and even the crappy music.

But we loved it... If we hadn't and we made a big stink like people did with Sonic 06 or Sonic 4 then they'd have quickly realized their mistake and changed it back ASAP.

But it was the Sonic fans that continued to (and still continue to) push for Sonic Adventure 3 with all of its terrible faults. Pushed for a Shadow spin off and pushed Sega to continue making games with deep dark plots... Shadow and Sonic 06 are the result of trying to please the fans.

I like Adventure Fields, Deep Plots, the new Jun Sunoe Adventure track (why is it crappy again?) and above all the GREEN EYES!

What I wasn't a fan off was the dodgey cameras.

Yeah... You know I'd have totally guessed.

But this is why we have had these things for so many years, there are tons of Sonic fans that genuinely enjoy the things that others hate.

But honestly, I think Sonic fans are the most nitpicky people ever, I've already seen some of the most teeth gritting complains about just this CGI trailer...

[CrazyT]

I like how classic sonic looks. There is one thing off though but I can't seem to put my finger on it. I think it may be that his expressions look too cute maybe? Cuz I always considered classic sonic as a badass character as well.

Nonetheless. I think he looks awesome still. What a great day this is.

The CG's models are usually done by Marza studio right? Cuz I am kind of predicting sonic is gonna look better ingame... maybe. I felt the same about colors too. The ingame model looked slightly shorter and proportioned more apropriatly. But whatever lol. Pointless in thinking so deeply about it.

It's classic sonic without the wavy long quills. Together with modern sonic's length those 2 things have always been my biggest gripes about modern sonic. His quills just kept on growing :S.

Let's play the Sonic drinking game, shall we?

Take a sip of booze whiskey whenever you have to remind people that the "new" Sonic design is actually 13 years old.
