Those Dreamcast games we’re wistfully talking about? Long long memories, restored to their maximum shinyness on the PS3 and the Xbox 360? Well, it’s not going to be quite that cleanly cut – according to JoyStiq both Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure won’t be quite as super fab as we first thought.
Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?
Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.
Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.
Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.
I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.
Mania was 5 hours roughly
However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short
The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones
Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.
Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2
Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭
Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.
Amidst the thrilling TGA 2023, Sega landed with a bang, bringing not one, not two, but five classics, including Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
Sega rocks and I'm excited that these classics are getting attention. Bring it on! Sega!
I’m just happy that some suits at Sega have finally woken up to realize they have literal gold in their library well worth bringing back to a modern audience.
I’m hoping they can also bring back Virtua Tennis (doesn’t need licenses), Sega Rally, etc.
I'm right there with you. Now I just need more time to play all that I want to play. My backlog is killing me.
Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio reboot rumours are heating up again as a new SEGA survey points toward a next-gen makeover for these iconic franchises.
I want to see a new ESPN Extreme Games, that first game on PS1 was so funny, and the video segments with that woman mocking you.
No more "Bad Company" in Crazy Taxi? I think they mean Bad Religion.
but I'm still going to be buying both of these titles, simply because they where awesome back in the day.
Plus I hope they added multiplayer for the Chao garden games on Sonic Adventure, and the ability to go to your friends garden etc that would really be awesome!!
I really want that Record of the Lodoss War dungeon crawler game. I never got a chance to play it on DC. Chances of them porting it are slim, it'll probably just be the big name titles, but I can dream.
Oh, and Skies of Arcadia is a must. Maybe if the port is released to commercial success, we'll see a sequel to that masterpiece sometime soon.
Here is the video from e3:
Custom soundtracks for Crazy Taxi. I got all the songs on iTunes ;D
