Continuing to hold the old games up on a pedestal is the problem and being unable to realize that it's a children's series and always will be is what's damaged it so severely.

Tell that to Mario and Rayman.

Being focused on children doesn't mean that it can't be enjoyed by adults. I specially like Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 even today (I'm 21 btw), it has a nice combination of weird outworld scenarios, exploration and 3D platforming easy enough to control but hard enough to keep it interesting that should make it enjoyable for both old and new players alike.
The newer games kept it simple and went back to it's 2D roots, and they are having very good reception.

Mario just sticks to it's root but adds a few new itens, mechanics or whatever (I can't tell because, altough I like Mario games, I haven't played many of them).
Also being well received.

It's late here and I'm tired, I don't know what exactly is the problem with Sonic and I'm too lazy to think about that now. To be honest I liked most of his recent games, let's see... Sonic Heroes and Sonic 2006 are both a piece of shit, the former had akward controls and the latter also had a stupid, almost zoofilia-filled plot :(. I didn't have much problem with the night time in Sonic Unleashed, like many did, although it didn't feel like I was playing Sonic. In Sonic 4, the momentum was worse than in sonic 1, that was pretty stupid.

Since there's virtually no information about this new game, the only thing I know is that the new design for Sonic and Knucles are ugly, the music choice for the trailer is shit, the team working on it is not even Sonic Team, it's a cartoon tie-in and the title is ridiculous (Sonic Boom? bhsbwhahahahaha).
------------------------------


TL;DR: Children games, if well made,can be enjoyed by adults, some recent sonic games are bad but there's also good ones, and we know too little about Sonic Boom to judge it yet, though what we now is not exactly good.

Good night, gotta go, busy day tomorrow.

Don't panic - we're just getting older. Shaking your shit a few more times at the pisser than you used to remember is better than letting loose all over the place.

So, now that they have established that, SEGA should take full advantage of this new generation and teach kids not to get AIDS.

Please see below.

Have you met some of these kids today? They're all retarded and will either end up permavirgins or getting some fuck-disease that will kill them at an early age. Sounds good to me.

I don't like to single this out, but the mario and rayman fandoms aren't filled with rabid monsters who scream at the companies involved to the point they buckle and change direction over the fan's bullshit. Now that Sega has realized that this is what causes them the most issue, they've been going alot better.

I have such an unmitigated hatred of children's learning these days, ESPECIALLY how awful television media for young children has gotten. I'ts literally forcefeeding of information and teaches absolutely nothing of social skills, and there's MAYBE two shows that aren't garbage shill factories.

When I was 6 or 7, I played Sonic games but quickly turned to Doom and Duke Nukem.
My kids will be raised similarly.

Wow look at all these incredibly insecure man-children on a website for a crass and childish mass violence simulator giggle about a children's series changing direction. I'm sure it'll make them feel that much better about the fact that their series is a steaming trash pile with literally 2 good games and make their penises larger by playing them.


Faggot.

I'm legitimately surprised at how everyone is bitching about this. it really doesn't look that bad and you can safely ignore the music choice. It probably won't even be in the game. Sonic was always a childrens series and expecting them to try and change that lead to the two worst abortions of the whole series. It's safe to say that it's stupid to expect such things from it.


It wasn't always a children's series, I don't know if you owned a Genesis back in the 90's, but literally everyone played that. Same with Mario.

The merchandising was child oriented. Not the actual software.

There's a MASSIVE difference between old and new Sonic games as far as art direction goes. One has beautiful artwork, the other looks like a really shitty children's cartoon and chases anyone away who is old enough to masturbate.

Classic Sonic is good and all but to continuously hold that up on a pedestal is utterly bizarre. most of Sonic is bad but to act like literally only 3 games were good and it will never be good again is stupid. Most of this forum seems like it's full of people with some bizarre masculinity issues and have never seen anything beyond action movies and video games.


No it isn't, it's fucking great shit. They're help up on a pedestal because they are some of the finest 2D games ever made.

If it's only "3 games" that proves you're a fucking pleb with no experience in quality 2D video games.

There's 1, 2, 3, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic CD, Sonic Spinball, Sonic Pocket Adventure, and Sonic Generations.

in b4 furry or Sanic fanboi, I'm neither. I just collect old games and systems and Sega has always been my poison of choice.

Also I didn't realize that my age mattered, or that it was even hidden on my profile. but since you care, I'm 26. I collect action figures and model kits, and I also draw porn of robots. does this help?


You should send it to The Commander, whenever I post Mass Effect porn in our Steam chats he gets super defensive while me and Jim are doubled over laughing.

He loves Vorcha cocks. He's totally into that shit. He's so Asariphobic you just know he's always jerkin' it to blue titties.

I think it's more the fact that the people here seem to gravitate to only reiterating popular opinion, which is to say "Sonic is dead" over and over again. It's been said since Sonic Adventure, it continues to be said, this will not kill anything and it's just silly to act like that's the case. Everyone will get to saying 'ehh it's okay' by the point the game comes out and realize they were being silly. Continuing to hold the old games up on a pedestal is the problem and being unable to realize that it's a children's series and always will be is what's damaged it so severely. They tried to make games for adult fans that whined about the direction, and it lead to Shadow and Sonic 06, considered to be the worst games in the entire franchise. I don't know what you expect when they really should NEVER listen to the fans ever again.


Total bullshit, they lost any sense of quality and had marketing directors decide what would sell to kids, and they said "edgy crap." Guess what? It failed.

It used to be "Make a fucking great game and people of all ages will buy it."

Do you have fucking autism or something? Did you seriously forget that Sonic was a pop culture icon in the 90's?

By the way, the sonic comics have nearly dropped everything of the past iterations because it was convoluted trash (thanks Ken Penders). For once they're actually readable again.


I just had to Google that man's name. You are a gigantic loser for knowing who he is.

You...actually read those things? I wouldn't wipe my ass with them.

Probably because they aren't crap. Although Rayman is debatable.

So... which one of these is the different art direction? I can't tell because your descriptions of them kinda lead to the same thought processes. It's all kids cartoon stuff, and the show from the older time period is what caused the worst of the furry wank material! Your definition of 'beautiful' must be weirdly skewed or you really don't understand anything about color theory, sillouette, movement, or just about anything. The games that have bad art direction can be named on one hand, and 3 of them are from the genesis/SegaCD era. The other 2 are 06 and Shadow, where basically nothing looked good. the other games may have their weird choices, but everything is pretty consistent and solidly grounded in the ideas presented. Sonic Unleashed had some pretty baller environments, even if it was marred by the dumb werehog shit.

There's actually some issues in regards to the graphics between Sonic 2 and 3 (highly inconsistent light sources on basically everything in Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic looks more serious and takes away from the goofy charm of Sonic 1 and 2) and honestly, are you really going to claim Sonic 1 was all that good? It plays like ass if you try to play it now. And how the fuck are you counting Sonic Spinball of all things as good? It's just kind of this weird gimmick game like with Kirby Pinball. Or for that matter, Pocket Adventure???? You should've chose Chaotix and Sonic Colors over both of those!
Also, you are STRANGELY scared of being called a furry for playing videogames about cartoon animals. Is there some sort of issue you need to discuss here?

The fans wanted to play as the three classic characters, we got Heroes. The fans wanted a more adult themed game, they got Shadow. The fans had been asking for a long time for Sonic Adventure 3, they got it via Sonic 06. Coincidentally, the series was pretty much saved by the side-game, Sonic and the Secret Rings. It came out not long after Sonic 06, if not at about the same time. the series has been following it's loose design ideas ever since. All of this goes back to the ideas of marketing that you're talking about, and Sega's QA and internal issues were PRETTY DAMN BAD around that point thanks to the Sammy merger and the CEO at the time running the company into the ground.

There's that weird sense of insecurity cropping up again! Are you that scared to admit you like things that happen to have cartoon animals in them???
Did you know that Archie Comics is more popular than both DC and Marvel combined because their comics are in nearly every grocery store in the country? Marvel and DC can't even remotely claim such a thing. It's really not hard to understand how anyone might want to read those! And chalk another point towards someone being a closet furry for good measure, while we're at it!

Debatable again since Mario was playing it rather safe until Galaxy came along. the only major leaps you have with Mario are 64 and Galaxy. There was alot of pretty samey shit in-between there.

If you really believe that sesame street isn't a former shell of itself and that it doesn't basically exist to force feed education down kid's throats and sell fucking TONS of elmo dolls then I dunno what to tell you. Cookie Monster is fucking GREEN and eats VEGETABLES these days! His entire gimmick was to show how gluttony was a BAD thing, and do so in a humorous manner. How the fuck did they manage to fuck it up THAT bad? What happened to shows like Eureka's Castle and Bear in the Big Blue House that were almost exclusively about social interaction and how to act around people? Why the fuck are they not showing Mister Rogers reruns still? This is a PRETTY SERIOUS PROBLEM. Shows for young children just shovel information down our kid's throats without understanding the idea of play and humor and it's getting worse each day. the only show I can think of that still follows these ideals is Yo Gabba Gabba.

Was it really necessary to quote every thing I said in the thread, by the way? that's really kinda weird, you know!

I'll have you know I wrote that at 7am because east coast! There's nothing wrong with having a sleep cycle where you're awake at night anyway! Also, since it was saturday morning, don't you think it's fine to not have anything to do on that day? (I could have been painting but who feels like doing that after work.)
But since you won't respond and choose to use a buzzword instead, (let's use the word 'autism' to replace the concept of information retention!) I'll just take it as you concede all arguments. Thanks for that, closet furry!

Talking like you'd punch a kid if they talked to you about the things they enjoy is really not gonna help a goddamn thing. It pains me that none of you are willing to actually look at the issues of children's development today in a serious manner. It's a pretty fucked up mess and it could be very easily fixed if you had another person like Jim Henson or Mister Rogers in charge of a show again, because they understood the concepts of work and play. There's a dynamic to it that makes it alot easier for children to retain information. we've gotten to see what TEN YEARS of the bad way of doing it does to people, and it's only going to get worse.

You're trying to change the subject. Plus, parents are the true issue, not television. What kind of a degenerate are you? "LETS LET THE TV RAISE OUR KIDS."

I'm glad that people who draw robot-dicks are perma-virgins.

I don't remember having watched Robocop before, maybe I did but I have no memories of it. So I watched it today, it's a very cool movie, but it ended a bit abruptly, no? Imagine if the Avengers ended when Hulk smashed Loki on the ground, and the last line in the movie was "Pity God!"
