A 2D sonic game that doesn't screw with everything that made the original good.
(looking at you sonic 4)
speed, simplicity, interesting bosses,just jump and spin dash.
I would pay $100 for a game with the same 1993 graphics and controls. but they only think these days about the damn kids.
This game will never come out, and thus i weep.
WTF? You people are impossible! Sonic 4 had elements of the old genesis games oozing out of every fucking orifice. If that game had been any more retro, it'd have been a fucking remake!!
...yeeeeash... well there's another group for entry onto my list of people who need good smacks upside the head with 2x4s.
After waiting for quite a while for a decent sonic game, I agree that the last came the closest, and on another note i am loving the shit out of colours. But im not a fan of the abandonment of what i find essential to these games, precise platforming and speed.
Sonic 4 was a joke in both respects. A spin dash of a ledge would bring you to a stand still and you would almost get no speed gain out of using it, i don't get the crazy physics engines these days but it doesn't gel with me. And you needed anything BUT platforming skills even in the later mad gear levels. It was never broken, and didnt needed to be fixed.
And games can be made now without screwing with the old formula, look at megaman 9 and 10. The inclusion of the kids mode in 10 is what Sonic 4 feels like to me.
I am critical, overly so, and i get that. But when a dev team had the winning formula 4 times and then scrapped it to add "tricks" and and an on rails homing attack. I am a little ticked. its like shitting on my childhood, so i believe im allowed to vent.
Save your 2X4 for someone without a valid argument.
Sorry, I was kinda venting too. As a creative person myself, I get kinda sick and tired of hearing fans whine, esp. since most of the complaints are unreasonable. ...not saying that was the case with you, just in general.
As for Sonic 4, I didn't notice any of the things you talked about. Of course I don't think I tried to spin dash of a ledge.
I'm not sure how you can say no platforming skills are required. I had a particularly hard time in the casino level where you had to jump across the flipping cards.

...wait a minute, they had the winning formula 4 times? Oh, you're counting Sonic and Knuckles as a separate game. Yeah, I don't count it as it's own game, more of and expansion pack; because I know that Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the game Sonic Team originally intended Sonic 3 to be.
Ya i always considered them separate because when i was young i got them as different cartridges for my genesis. Did they come together on that system?
And by no skills, sorry i was speaking in sweeping generalities. I had a few tough spots with those cards too. I'm just happy with the lack of 3D sonic right now, and i was expecting something they directly connected to the original franchise run to be something more similar. I'm not looking to hate on an obvious upward trend by SEGA and Sonic Team.

A good version of SPORE.
you just made me die a little inside
that game was gonna be soooo awsome
then they were like
hey this should be for litte kids to.
/sob
Yeah. I missed the under water stage, building cities under water and proper scaling. I went to earth, and a colony with 15(!) inhabitants was equal in size to, oh, say: Friggin' North America.

Fork you SPORE.

And once you got into the spacestage, you got called back to your planets every 10 seconds or so because some pirates attacked and they're too big retards to install some planetary-missile system to counter that. I'm just a space-ship captain, tasked with the sole responsibility to meet and greet other races and represent ours on the interplanetary diplomatic networks (perhaps not such a great idea) I'm not you babysitter for crying out loud. just build some spaceships of your own.

Also why can't you swim? and why can you only fly for short distances? Also why can't I make a dragon that can breath fire? etc...

Huh? What system?? No no, I'm very much aware that they were released separately. With the whole lock-on thing, where you could plug the Sonic 2&3 cartridges into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridges to order to play as Knuckles in those two respective games. The thing is when you did that with the Sonic 3 cartridge you gained access to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which I'm certain was what Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was originally intended to be, but got got short due to deadlines or some other damn thing. The evidence to support this supposition is written all over those games.

Anyway, about Sonic 4, I just look at it and think "isn't this the game Sonic fans have been pining for for the last X number of years?" and to hear people complain that it's still not good enough is mind boggling. Yeah I know it has it's faults, but what game doesn't? The original Sonic games had their faults.

It was a game being developed by Peter Molyneux's Lionhead studios for the original XBox.

You played as cavemen and fought dinosaurs.


Dammit Peter Molyneux!!! Stop wasting your time with this Natal Milo nonsense and un-cancel this game already!!!!!!

Seriously how many games are out there based on those cavemen movies from the 60's and 70's.

Threads of Fate 2
I will live in hope that Square may reawaken some of its older properties someday, though.

I'd also like to re-echo sentiments about Advent Rising 2, Mirror's Edge 2. I loved the first games for each, but it doesn't seem likely that we'll see seconds for them. I'd also like to re-echo the sentiments on MechWarrior 5. Long live the MechWarrior franchise!

Oh, also, an English release of Silent Bomber.

Shogo: Mobile Armor Division 2. It's a little-known game that flew under the radar. It deserves a sequel, in my humble opinion.

A sequel to Betrayal in Antara would be nice, too.

Oh that would truly be wonderful, but that bastard Kojima does not love us enough to give us that. Nice to see a fellow Snatcher fan around here, there aren't even nearly enough of those.
ah yes, it would, though i also like zone of the enders and wouldnt mind a sequel to that one showing up as well. WHY KOJIMA WHY!

oh! also, have you watched the snatcher LPs by slowbeef? theyre pretty good.

other game that will not come out in my life time:
age of empires 4
alpha centauri 2
system shock 3
sim city 5
EDIT: Black and white 3
i could probably go on
