The Sonic General Thread (Team Sonic Racing Released!)

Re: The Sonic General Thread (Team Sonic Racing Comes Out May 21st)

What we need is a Mario & Sonic game that's actually a platformer (where Mario can jump higher while Sonic can run faster or something like that) rather than these lame sports-themed minigame collections.

Still bummed that Mario didn't make it into the Wii Version of Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing despite originally planned.

If any Nintendo character should make a guest appearance in the Sonic & All-Stars racing games, it should be Captain Falcon as SEGA was heavily involved in the development of GX/AX.

What we need is a Mario & Sonic game that's actually a platformer (where Mario can jump higher while Sonic can run faster or something like that) rather than these lame sports-themed minigame collections.

How about we just get Mario & Sonic Racing, or even Nintendo X SEGA Racing.

Mario Kart and Sonic Racing are both great games so why not. I always liked the Sonic Racing transformations better than Mario Kart's glider/propeller anyway.

Since we're on topic

Too bad they're not gonna fix the roster of Team Sonic Racing, a far more pressing problem imo.

Vector's playable and that's all that matters imo

But you don't know how fun it is to play as AGES, and one of the vehicles is the Hornet from Daytona USA!

How about we just get Mario & Sonic Racing, or even Nintendo X SEGA Racing.

Mario & Sonic Racing transformed would be fucking lit. I get to throw snowballs and blowfish at Eggman! :D

The problem with the Sonic series is that almost every 3D entry is so radically different that people who grew up with mostly just one will refuse to give the others any form of credit.
It's the exact opposite problem for 2D Mario.

I've only played a few Sonic games, but the ones I have played I liked a lot. I really love StH, StH2, S&tSR, S&tBK, Sonic Generations and Sonic Mania were all fun. I especially liked S&tBK's story, but not much else about that game. I also played StH4e1, but that sucked. The physics were just awful compared to the regular Sonic flow of things.

I've played these:

-Sonic 1 (a not-so-great mobile port of a good game)
-Sonic 2 (another not-so-great mobile port of a good game)
-Sonic CD (yet another not-so-great mobile port of a good game)
-Sonic X (an obscure edutainment game that I still have nostalgia for)
-Sonic 4: Episode 1 (I'd say it's pretty underrated, the physics weren't that bad)
-Sonic 4: Episode 2 (better than Episode 1...or it would be if I weren't stuck with that not-so-great mobile port)
-Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (very mediocre game, probably my least favorite non-edutainment/kiddy game of all time)
-Sonic Mania (best in the series I've played, honestly)
-Sonic Forces (it's not that bad, but I can see why it disappointed many)

Not just radically different, but painfully mediocre at best in the end, and it really shows that developers lack confidence and competence, and I don't know, it just seems like when it's not Sonic Mania or the Twitter handle, Sonic invites incompetence (the movie, the brouhaha surrounding the comics, everything about the anniversary stream) and it always seems hilarious to me.

Sonic Forces was just mostly ho-hum gameplay, and it's so try hard with its new characters, it was a mess. The avatar creation system is the only thing noteworthy from the game. But hey, if you are blessed with the PC version, you can (eventually) play as Mario if you wanna. Mario'll make things less serious as it should've been.

Sonic Lost World didn't seem to wow the fanbase all that much.

BTW I'm playing Sonic Generations right now (as Mario of course), and it seems okay, though I haven't played even one hour yet. I don't like games that grade me.

And I did grab Sonic Mania just so I can use Mario eventually, but haven't booted that one up. We'll see if I dig the gameplay.
