| nemo37 said: I did not expect this thread to be so negative on this. Personally, as someone that enjoyed Sonic Unleashed (day stages and day bosses only, and only when played as a mod to Sonic Generation with the exception of the bosses which can only be played on consoles), Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, I think this game is right up my alley. I am not too into character customization, but being able to explore levels in different ways through different character-specific skills is what made me like Sonic 3 & Knuckles and the Sonic Advance games, so I am glad they are bringing this element back (I hope it is not like the 3D Sonic games where each character type gets their own specific stage or goal; but rather I would like for characters to give a new perspective to Sonic's main levels like they did in the original games). I am frankly excited for both this and Sonic Mania. |
It's not a matter of mechanics (although in recent Sonic games new mechanics have tended to derail the core gameplay), it's a matter of fanbase. The Sonic fanbase is notorious for... reasons... so giving them this gimmick is nothing short of terrifying (Sonichu speedruns. All of them cringy).
