Also Sonic did not start to suck cause Sega started sucking. You say there wasn't any good Sonic games after Sonic and Knuckles, but Sega was at its best during the Dreamcast era, so your statement is incorrect. The problem with Sonic is simple, it's hard to get it to work in 3D. Also the decline of Sonic Team didn't help. Now you guys feel there are no good 3D Sonic games, I disagree.<br /><br />Sega is still fine, they are nowhere at the level they used to be but they can still make incredible games and they are now one of the best publishers in the business (and yes they can owe that to Platinum Games).<br /> Comment #55774 http://thevgpress.com/do/seeComment.php?externalID=1056&commentType=4&date=1265136226&id=55768 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:43:46 GMT <br /><div><blockquote class="commentQuote"><div class="quoteName" style="font-size:.8em;padding-left:.3em;background-color:rgb(32,32,32);border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(0,0,0);">edgecrusher said:</div><div class="quoteText" style="font-size:.9em;padding-top:.5em;padding-right:.8em;padding-bottom:.5em;padding-left:.8em;"><p> And Nintendo is full of it saying they wouldn't make games anymore if that happened.....so what WOULD they do?</p></div></blockquote><p> I think they're just kind of saying that if they couldn't be at the top anymore that they wouldn't compete.

Speed is not found by simply pushing a boost button, but by building momentum. It is the reward for skill in the face of difficult challenges – this kind of speed is the most exhilarating, not only because it is fast, but because of the pure perfection such speed exemplifies. This is the truth of the original Sonic games – and this is the truth of <strong>Project Needlemouse.</strong></em></p> <p><strong><em> </em></strong></p> <p>Good luck, everyone!</p><p><span style="font-style:italic;"></span><br /></p> You read that!!!!!

I lost my edited post, whatever no one was going to read it anyway.<br /><br />How to make a good 3D Sonic, well there are good 3D Sonic games it is just gameplay some people dont like. The 3D Sonic is very different than the old 2D Sonic. In 3D it is about speed, combos, getting high scores and I love it. I think Unleashed is the best version of this as it adds 2D sections and fixes many of the issues. Still there needs to be much more polish added, way too many camera glitches, falls to your death and such.  <br /><br />Now if you want to make a classic 2D sonic in 3D then it gets tricky. Adventure 1 was the closest to this. It is just too hard to balance speed and platforming in a 3D space. Maybe make a game with big portions of platforming mixed with speed sections, keep them separate. <br /><br />Oh and above all, NO FRIENDS.<br /> Comment #54698 http://thevgpress.com/do/seeComment.php?externalID=1056&commentType=4&date=1264449698&id=54691 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:01:38 GMT Why dont we talk about how to make a good 3D sonic and whether it's possible to do justice to the speed based gameplay.

Yes I know Mario is king, I cant argue that but the Sonic games will always be the next best thing. The best part was that they weren't just Mario clones, they were a very different type of platformer, one that did somethings better than the fat plumber.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Look</span>:<br /><br /> The SNES did have more graphical power to work with but I like the look of Sonic games far more than Mario games. Each level in a Sonic game was totally different from the last. It had the futuristic techno nature look. All the old Sonic games are gorgeous to look at.<br /><br /><img alt="http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Sonic_The_Hedgehog_2_GEN_ScreenShot4.jpg" src="http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Sonic_The_Hedgehog_2_GEN_ScreenShot4.jpg" /><img alt="http://info.sonicretro.org/images/f/f2/Aquaticruin.png" src="http://info.sonicretro.org/images/f/f2/Aquaticruin.png" /><img alt="http://ui21.gamespot.com/2420/sonic353_2.jpg" src="http://ui21.gamespot.com/2420/sonic353_2.jpg" /><img alt="http://info.sonicretro.org/images/6/65/Carnivalnight.png" src="http://info.sonicretro.org/images/6/65/Carnivalnight.png" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Music</span>:<br /><br /> This one is no contest, Sonic had BY FAR the better music. Lately Sega has gone away from what used to work but back in the Genesis the Sonic games had some of the best music of the era.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vaBxXCH9b8&feature=related">Emerald Hill Zone</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpRr4nIXw6s">Scrap Brain Zone</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LYB7iLZNWE&feature=related">Chemical Plant Zone</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cy8BDipACE">Star Light Zone</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T7hdIh-gtw&feature=relatedhttp://">Flying Battery Zone</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsowUXhNIu0&fmt=18">Rusty Ruins (Saturn Version)</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUOwfXzOjzs&feature=relatedhttp://">Sonic 2 ending</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEzXFuYN89k">Open Your Heart</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyoMQg3d5cs">Sonic and Knucles final boss</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MzK17RaS-k&annotation_id=annotation_548534&feature=ivhttp://">Ice Cap Zone</a> - Still my all time favorite and it was composed by Michael Jackson. Did Michael Jackson do any Mario music, NO.<br /><br /> And there is a billion more, some of the finest music in all of gaming.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Bosses:</span><br /><br /> The main Mario games have always had simple boss fights that usually have you just bouncing on something three times. Sonic kept the formula but has always had really wild outragous boss battles and a lot more of them. As it went to 3D the battles got larger and larger. Overall Sonic bosses are better than Mario's offerings.<br /><br /> Well crap I gtg, I'll be back to finish this thread up. Leo could probably help. Comment #54474
