How to make Sonic games better

[Crunchy English]

Don't.
Thank you for the run, Sonic.
You can rest now, you deserve it.
And we all move on to the next step of videogame evolution.

A lot of people are saying this, and it stings. I love Sonic! He's actually a great character. So he has the depth of a thimble, who cares? Take an incredibly slow mammal, paint it blue, put it in running shoes, and give it the ability to break the sound barrier. Ta-da! How hard was that?

But give him a story, and "characters" and "plot"? He just won't work. In the SatAm cartoon, what worked really great is all the OTHER characters gave a damn about what was going on, Sonic wanted to run really fast and smash robots. And we all identified with that.

I loved that stupid cartoon. Sure, it had some really horrible characters in it, and the animation was cheap, but it was true to the original spirit of Sonic games. As you said, Sonic just wanted to run fast and break things. He was completely irresponsible, as evidenced by the way he scarfed down dozens of Chilidogs, not realizing the horrible consequences of such actions (and how he would pay for them later!)

At least he was able to run fast enough to reach the toilet in time.

I'm sure it's been said, here and elsewhere but SatAm, SatAm, SatAm.

Rebel Freedom Fighters on the planet Mobius. That's what I grew up with and it worked then.
Also Sonic should use his 90's sayings!

Mondo Cool Little Buddy!
Was Past Cool!
Let's Jet!

I watched the first SatAM episode and I felt kinda weird afterwards and also "Way past cool." got really, REALLY annoying after the first 5 five times.



My suggestion would be that they start a spin-off franchise that has nothing to do with Sonic but stars Blaze the Cat and Silver the Hedgehog in the future(where they're supposed to be) at least that way the Blaze and Silver fans will still be pleased and that the Sonic fans won't ***** about the amount of characters.

The answer is simple: stop making 3-D Sonic Games. All the 3-D Sonic games are awful. Also, Sonic should not speak. The best Sonic games came out for the Sega Genesis. The ones that are ports of those games for other systems are pretty good too. The only Sonic game that is not a port that I care for is Sonic Pinball because it fits so well. Sonic was based on pinball games to begin with so it works.

I'm not gonna click on anything called furaffinity.net. Thanks for the offer, tho!

I can also link you to Encyclopedia dramatica except that if I did I'd probably be banned since that's a porn site that doesn't give you a "Mature Filter".

 

[TsunamiWombat]

I still say the best way to fix it is less fur-faggery daggery doo.

And thats coming from a guy called WOMBAT.

Yeah, I know ED. My x-rated comment was actually just a joke, by the way . I was thinking more along the lines of graphic violence, not dodgy furriness (if thats wot its called)

Oh, you mean X-Rated as in what the X-Rating USED to mean before it just meant "Sex"? I think right now that's what we call "M" or "NC-17". =p

Make them 2D again. I still have yet to beat the first Sonic game for the genesis.

 

[Whobajube]

Sonic Spinball 2

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Make it 2-D

Make the characters NOT TALK!

Stop it with the crappy gimmicks, I don't WANT 800 special moves for my bloody hedgehog thank you, S3K was perfect, leave it at that.

 

[Smash Tabby]

Tie a bandana around his head and give him a portal gun!

I can't see where this arguement of "go back to 2D" is coming from. It's as if any game in 3D is a bad idea; so what the fuck has been happening the past 10 years for games in general? 3D Sonic can be done well, just that Sonic Team never strike the anal perfection that all the fanboys want. They just need to try harder and actually test their games properly.
If the fanboys want to play 2D games, then they should go out and buy them.

Completely halting making any games is killing off Sega's mascot. No further explaination needed.

Sonic is a 2-D platformer.

To make it 3d is both stupid and against nature.

Prince of Persia was also a 2D platformer. Now it's in Yatzee's top 5...
