Sonic Colours Discussion

[Autosaver]

That isn't the point. >_>

Sonic Colors is opting for a happy and colorful graphic style.

This stage looks like a cross between Chun-nan at night and parts of Eggmanland. The substantial difference is that its graphics aren't quite as high tech as the HD versions of SU.

Obviously, this game is quite colorful and awesome, even considering its hardware. ^__^ But graphical "eye candy" compared to SU on 360...? Maybe that'd be true to people who are near-sighted and sitting far away from their tv sets.

Just imagine how much better this game could look on an HD console...

*Slaps face

Obviously, the 360 version looks better. Because its on advanced hardware. But I'm talking about the style.

I own the 360 version, and the game looks nice. But its VERY realistic. Sonic Colors on the other hand, takes the realistic stages, puts cartoony features in them = Sonic Colors.

Take Super Mario Sunshine and compare it to Galaxy. Similar consoles, but the one with the very cartoony/space/colorful art wins.

I think some of you aren't seeing.
Take the picture of Sonic falling down the silo. It's an aquarium with fish swarming around and a nice blue and green blend.

Now take Sonic Unleashed, Spagonia. And take a picture of a silo.
Its all gray and white and boring. Yes, its in HD and its very detailed textures. But do you see where my point is going? If you still don't understand, I could make a side by side comparison.

Edit: Ugh, just realized that I'm going to the realistic VS Cartoony argument. Which really boils down to opinion. X_X

That is not really a fair comparison. Super Mario Sunshine almost exclusively had tropical themes, of course it is not as varied.

I would say Super Mario Brothers 3 has the best art in the series, with something like Super Mario World looking fairly bland in comparison because it had much less art overall.

Anyways, on the topic of this, any direct feed gameplay of the DS version yet?

Never played it, wouldn't know. Ha ha ha

Ugh... we only had gameplay for years?

God Tails looks extremely creepy/ugly(that blank, empty stare).  There's a character that's in serious need of a redesign.  I miss his orange hue.  This puke yellow tint isn't doing it for me.

He used to be so cute.

[CrazyT]

I agree with you radrappy, I used to like tails and I still do.. but that's just because of his old design in the early games.

I really wish they consider to change his design a little bit to resemble his old design more, especially his color yeah.

God Tails looks extremely creepy/ugly(that blank, empty stare).

I blame that wholly on the Wii hardware, as his current design looked great in the HD versions of Sonic Unleashed.

[CrazyT]

I disagree fluffy, he looks ugly ever since sonic adventure 2. Oddly he looked great in sonic adventure 1(DC) though. But than again, most characters looked alot like their classic designs even though the whole design evolution thing.

Compare



edit:

If they manage to make him look like that again, i'd be a happy tailsfan.

[Sharky]

I hardly even see a difference between classic and modern tails.

Also Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours have the best Sonic/Tails designs yet.
It is the perfect blend of his new and old design.

Frankly I think the original 'fat' Sonic is pretty ugly looking in retrospect and didn't really look good until Sonic CD.

With Sonic 06's design being the very worst.


This, is easily the best. I love the small, cartoony happy vibe but with out that fat outdated look of the original design... Also. Green eyes are A-OK.

I think that both the orange and yellowish versions of Tails seen here are completely adorable. ^__^ His Sonic Advance look was one of my favorites.



You may not agree, but I don't feel like there is a "bad" version of Tails (aside from the brown American one). That's just one really unflattering screenshot. His modern version looked a lot better in the HD versions of SU and S&SASR.

[MadeManG74]

That Moto-Bug was huge! He's been hitting the 'roids since Sonic 1.

[CrazyT]

@fluffy,

yea nice artwork.

@Sharky

I don't mind modern sonic, but i'll keep on letting my voice heard about wanting classic sonic in sonic 4 as an option.

This guy just rocks, end of story.

Couldn't resist to reply.

[fluffymoochicken]

If classic Sonic weren't in as some kind of secret bonus, I'd be a little surprised, considering how closely the SEGA community managers have been paying attention to feedback for the past 6 months or so. Surely, somehow, the feedback could have reached the right people...
