Last week we saw Sega release a new trailer for their up and coming mystery Sonic release. The trailer saw people split over whether the second character was Classic or Kid Sonic. The majority will be pleased to find they were right following the release of a new poll today.
The polls sway towards a certain version really does show what fans want to see.
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.
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
BLG writes: "With the success of the films and the promise of Frontiers, it’s possible that we’re ushering in a new golden age of Sonic the Hedgehog. While Sega is looking forward, the company is also looking back. It’s giving us Sonic Origins, a retooled collection of Genesis classics. However, this package fails to provoke a burning question: what’s the best Sonic handheld game?"
Classic Sonic looks pretty good in 3D, gotta say.
THANK GOD! Now everyone can stop saying it's his kid...
whats the difference.. to me one has green eyes one has black.. same sonic
hopefully take the 3D side scrolling parts of sonic unleashed and the other sonic game and put it with this 1 and re release sonic the hedgehog 2 in 3D. cause thats what the stage in the video looks like.
the design of sonic isn't that big of an issue for me, they don't look much different to me, th classic one looks younger but that's about it, i wouldn't say either is better.
the real problem wasn't with sonic, it was the games, put classic sonic in the recent sonic games and they'd still be shit, put new sonic in the old games and they'd still be great games.
if sega think all they need to do to fix the sonic games is to go back to the old character design they're in for a shock.
