Sonic design whine.
« on: February 13, 2010, 05:51:34 am »
As much as I hate the people whining about Sonics new design etc...

I found this on the NeoGaf from what I understand its related to Sonic CD and I really wish Sega would make Sonics design a bit more like this:



The cartoony look is really great as is the movment.

Here is someones redesign of that:

Sonic running in Smash Bros is the best example of what Sega HAVE to do with him on Sonic 4.

 Sega don't need to bring back the old design, just make him a bit more "cute". I like the green eyes.

I love that gif design. Imagin a 2-D Sonic 4 that looked like that, hand drawn and over the top animation. I love it.

I always preferred the Sonic CD/Sonic the Movie peel out animation for Sonic. It just seems so right!

Nintendo only has one Mario design, but Sega shouldn't follow that strategy since it has a much larger proportion of adult buyers that aren't "kids at heart",  :roll:  and adapt Sonic to different market segments with varying Sonic designs (without going overboard with Sonic variations...)

Classic Sonic alone could be big business to Sega.

The only reason people hate Sonic's newer design is because his personality changed a lot with it, and how he presents himself. For instance, Sonic never had an angry toothy grin before Sonic Adventure, now he does for almost every damn game. Even I think it is stupid.

What? Mario has changed styles far more times than Sonic has...

Just to name a few:











I know you hate Nintendo and all, but you have some kind of weird crusade against them man.

I don't really have anything against the current design.
The Sonic CD inro movie was my favourite too though.  I can't even remember how many times I watched that thing.

I have to say I have always preferred sonic to be a little rounder and that gif is perfect

Most people do not like Sonic's new design because they associate it with the decline of the series. Nothing else. No one, or anyone for that matter on forums before and after Sonic Heroes complained, if at all, about the change in Sonic's current design, if anything it was completely positive.

Also I would prefer a model of that instead of a sprite, there I said it!

SEGA confirmed Sonic is going to have a running style similar to Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD. Hopefully that means the Super Peel Out is in there!

I don't think the 'longer sleeker' look, looks better. IMHO.

Well my personal favourite is the Sonic CD/Sonic OVA Sonic anyway. Would have liked to have seen that in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 but doubt SEGA is going to want to completely rebrand everything Sonic again.

Isn't it just that the old sonic had this tinge more of attitude and character where as the new one loves children and is not offending to anyone?

I like the CD one better too, but that second coloured animation looks retarded. His face reminds me of Batman from Adventures of Batman and Robin on Megadrive (autistic bird-pointy face). They need to make him fat and short like the old games, but not turn him into some grotesque, freakish spawn of anime. He is supposed to be a round rat, after all, not some tall skinny guy.

Also I never liked the Super Peel Out. Sure it looks cool, but you just bang into enemies so you may as well just do a spindash for the same thing, except with less vulnerability and having an attack. It also causes fire to come out of his feet, which may cause a problem for Tails.

The Sonic CD/Anime style was great.

It just looked so damned cool!


Even so, I think its a very 90's look. The new one fits better the modern art tendencies.
