Just release a game like sonic generations on current gen man, waiting to see what Sonic Team has in store


It is so childish when people regard Wii U as not "current gen". 



I beg you, i implore you, please, find where i stated "WiiU as not Current Gen". "Just release a game like sonic generations on current gen", doesnt it also mean "Just release a game like sonic generations on PS4/X1/WiiU"? 

I guess its also childish when statements arent read correctly...



Around the Network

Why does Sega even bother with Sonic anymore. People expect a shit game. So no one bothers to buy anything. Even if it was a good game. Didn't anyone, anywhere at Sega think "People are gonna soly ignore the game because of Knuckles look". The show will definatly get cancelled at the end of the season cause of these poor sales. Unless they have a Boom toyline. Than it could stay on, if that sells good.

The games probably don't have a long development time. Otherwise I can't explain why the games are so bad.

Sonic Adventure 2 wouldn't score higher than 65 if it released today. Truly an awful clusterfuck of a game. Watch the damn video if you want to know why these games aren't timeless classics like Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64 or Metroid Prime. If that's the best 3D game Sonic has to offer than I feel very bad for him. Even the worst 3D Mario game is much better (imo of course). 

Litteraly half of the game of Sonic Adventure 1 is mediocre at best. Don't get me started on Sonic Adventure 2!

I meant 6th gen of course, not 7th. Games like Metroid Prime look 10 times better graphically than the Sonic Adventure games. Super Mario 3D Land also looks a lot better and that is on a system that's weaker than the GC.


in 2014 I'd agree. But they didn't come out in 2014. Do you honestly think Pac Man would be one of the most successful games of all time launching now? Do you think Wolfenstein 3D would be taken seriously now? Doom - No story, shit graphics 2/10.

Dude, games progress. That doesn't take away from what they were in their prime.

if Pac Man was released today it would be on smartphones and it would become a big hype like Candy Crush. Only difference being that Pac Man is actually a decent game to play. I still play it on my phone sometimes. So yeah, I think Pac Man could've become huge even if he released in 2014.

I also believe some old games are still good today like the Sonic games on the genesis, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Super Mario 64, etc

Although that said, I don't consider Ocarina of Time the best 3D Zelda game and the same goes for Super Mario 64. I hate when people say that lol... Super Mario 64 shows its age the most from the games I listed.

The 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time and the DS remake of Super Mario 64 still scored in the 90s on metacritic, didn't they? And I'd be surprised if Majora's Mask didn't do the same.



You mean the remakes with much better frame rates, extra content, portable for the first time and in Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask's cases, far better graphics? Yes, yes they did.
