Sonic Generations Discussion

[George]

Well, you are a god damn troll.

Am I the only one who thinks those screenshots look good, but not amazing?

I am perfectly happy with where it is at, I don't really care too much about graphics. With that being said there is room for improvement.

I don't like the blue cloudy feeling in the background.

GHZ didn't have it.
GHZ 2001 didn't have it either.

More video!

It's in some foreign language!

[Happy Cat]

I watched through it all.
somewhere in the middle of the video a SEGA guy is talking in English.

he says that Sonic Generations is about celebrating Sonic's history from the classics all the way up through Sonic Colors. So that confirms your theory about those Jazwarez toys I would think.

You're not alone man.

Thank you CrazyTails.

I'm not saying they look bad, but people are acting like it's the greatest thing they've ever seen. The graphics looks okay at best, and the art direction is nice certainly, but it's just copying the old Sonic games isn't it (even if that is a good thing)?

the game is super amazing while it's running, this is one of the games that you can't fully judge it just by pictures
when you look to those pictures you should consider
- how big and vast are those levels
- how crazy speedy this game is with pretty huge and fast data streaming
- the attention to the details, close details and far details
not to mention the great lightning technology they are using

when you combined all those technical stuff together with how those pictures look, then you should realize that you got a monster engine out there.

Sonic Adventure 2 in score attack terms is easily one of the best ever in the genre. Every section of the game was extremely well planned around scoring points.

I don't know. I think Treasure Hunting was always kind of poorly planned out.
You make a giant stage, and make you look for one object at a time. The Hints are cryptic, unless you use the third more obvious one which eleminates a good score. And you can't memorize locations either because it's always random each playtrough. And often times you just ran into an emerald by dumb luck, and it's better to just fly around aimlessly.

Most of the Unleashed obstacles doesn't too. Problem is bottomless pits, but me personally they never bothered me until Eggmanland and parts of Adabat and Holoska.

Well what did you think of Shinobi PS2?

I wouldn't say bottomless pits are a cheap death; I would say the problem is Sonic's speed. If you can see the pit coming, its no longer a cheap obstacle. Its just a part of platforming. You can't really jump from platform to platform if there isn't a pit or some want of land. I would actually argue having a bottom to the pit is silly; it lets the player slack off and discourages him from slowing the hell down. So its not the pit, its the speed.

And even if you don't see it coming, it can at least be funny - look at Metal Gear Solid's bottomless pits. Those were cheap, but hilarious.


That's one thing I think I'd really enjoy in this game is self mocking sense of humor. I think it'd go a long way if Sonic Team acknowledged and laughed at some of its more questionable decisions.

[cube_b3]

I just like to say that I love Shinobi!

Do we know if it is running in 720 or 1080P yet? If it is running in 1080P that is something else to take into consideration.

Christ almighty some people are such melcontents, it must be hard work never being happy with anything ever. I pitty your future wives!

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

[Radrappy]

To continue the malcontent,

during this interview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rROWaYJ9lUc&
at around 2:17 you can hear a vocal song playing with lyrics that say "my body is your body, I won't tell anybody." I'm really really really really really really hoping that has nothing to do with this game but who am I kidding.  I thought the point was to make sonic not the laughing stock of gaming.

That whole video is probably just using custom used tracks by the editors. Would seem logical as the whole video sounds like it.

I am looking forward to most SEGA games that have been anounced. Have been playing spiralknights for the last few weeks with a lot of joy. I am satisfied with how most of SEGA franchises are evolving or gone back on the right track again. I am just not feeling it yet for the sonic franchise sadly, this game doesn't help a bit.
