Hilarious how you try to blame this on Nintendo. You do know that every 3D Sonic game has sucked major ass right? Sonic Colors is mostly 2D and Sonic Generations is barely 4 hours long. Sega is the only one to blame for these 3 shitty games.

Wat. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were fantastic. 


It's Samus again with his facts he is unable to back up.

As well as SA1 being amazing (for 1998) and SA2 being decent. Sonic Colours, Sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World are also decent polygon based Sonic titles.

Colours mostly 2D? Again a non-fact invented to support a poor at best argument.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I just want Sega to bring back their older franchises. Please let Sonic take a break, Sega.



You need a 3DS! Sega Ages 3D part deux hits soon :D I am so f**kin STOKED! Outrun will be epic!

That's sad, I hope that it's massively overtracked.

Their stategy to send no review copies did work, but now we know that it's even worse than most of us feared.

If you honestly think these games are good then you are blinded by a fuck ton of nostalgia. Horrible story, horrible graphics (even for its time), horrible voice acting, glitches, bugs, horrible gimmicks, horrible gameplay ideas (Big the Cat, seriously?), horrible animations, etc. If these games were released today they would get slaughtered by critics. In fact, if they remade these games with better graphics and change nothing else I'm convinced it wouldn't score higher than 75%. These games are nowhere near Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64 or Metroid Prime. Those are good examples of games making the transition from 2D to 3D flawlessly.

And are you denying that Sonic Colors is mostly a 2D game? Lmao, no point in argueing with you. The 3D stages of Sonic Colors were probably the worst part of the game.

Ouch. I still have hope Sonic Generations 2 on PS4 will happen someday...


And with good physics next time.  That is killing my playthrough of the game.  I can't do but an act for each time I play it because it is so bad that it impacts the game negatively for me.


What version did you play? I found the PC ver at 60fps played waaaaaaay better than the PS3 or 360 versions. I just wish I had a PC capable of running it at a nice solid 60fps :(

PS3...  The problem is with the game's physics.  But, running at 60 frames does help.  I've had many instances of spindashing/boosting in the opposite direction (this had never happened on Genesis, unless my fault entirely) and if you run directly into a vertical bumper, you go upwards.  You always had to jump directly on those to activate them in the older games.

and then, momentum still isn't handled correctly.  Why am I loosing momentum when I go through a loop? and just... so many other problems.  Green Hill act one is easily the game's best moment and that's only after you have the entire act down to memory and can speed-run it.  I just get angry when I play generations outside of that.

But... about this game..  Is there any good sonic games on Wii U?  And, I know it's different, but, how would Sonic Boom be, in terms of quality if it didn't have sonic characters, or bugs?

I think you've said all that needs to be said.

Samus, horrible graphics for it's time? Are you sure you didn't play the Broken Gamecube ports?
