It's honestly kind of funny how much of an impact Sonic has/had on the gaming industry
i guess bro
>>738321937thanks bitch
>>738321812Such as?
>>738321812right
>>738325860>american overweight women worship culture made it to japanits over...
>>738321812the only kind of impact sonic has had on gaming is being one of the poster children of botched releasesi like sonic as a character and don't think all of his games are bad but very few games can even approach '06 or boom in terms of utter failure
>>738326659I don't know if I agree with that.Sonic inspired the "animal mascot with 'tude era" and also popularized grind rails in platformers and action games.
>>738326745>Sonic inspired the "animal mascot with 'tude era"the 90's was the attitude era independently of soniche's just the only one that still exists today outside of ironic meme guys like bubsy and gex>popularized grind rails in platformers and action games.i'm trying to think of any games that had these in the last 20 years and the only ones that come to mind other than sonic games are skateboarding games, which certainly didn't get the idea from sonic
>>738326931 (Me)>i'm trying to think of any games that had these in the last 20 yearsi guess parkour games would have them too? but like that wouldn't be because of sonic either
>>738326931>the 90's was the attitude era independently of sonicChuck E Cheese redesigned itself after Sonic btw
>>738327712it fascinates me that you think this means anythingchuck e cheese is a failing mascot restaurant chain and not video gamesalso i'm almost positive there's no correlation between the two things anyway as i've been looking for any source on this claim since you posted this and found nothing
>>738328231Sparkster, Socket, High Seas Havoc, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Radical Rex, Bubsy, Gex, Zoom, Earthworm Jim, Jazz Jackrabbit all inspired by Sonic btw
flopnic the hedgeflop was never good
>>738328583anything with any modicum of popularity will get a bunch of poor man's imitations of it churned out to make a quick bucklike look at what happened to the backroomsevery game using that is worthless garbage piggybacking off a trendthis same shit happens to every popular genre of gamebattle royales, hero shooters, sports games, 3rd person action games, soulslikes, 3d platformers, etc.what part of this could only exist because of sonic and not because of mario or crash bandicootit's not the attitude because that was the 90's as a whole
>>738329225>anything with any modicum of popularity will get a bunch of poor man's imitations of it churned out to make a quick buckSo Sonic had an impact on the gaming industry. Next question?
>>738327712do Cuck E Chesse buildings exist anymore, I thought they shut down
>>738329478They basically have a monopoly nationwide on kids' entertainment/arcades; Dave & Buster's is probably close
>>738329390>So Sonic had an impact on the gaming industry.being popular for 15 minutes does not mean you've had an indelible impact on gamingi truly pity you if that's how low your standards are
>>738329821>15 minutesDescribing the cultural phenomenon of Sonic in the 90's to '15 minutes' is a level of disingenuousness that's laughable; it's even worse that you're trying to act smug about it. I haven't even begun to talk about the technical and hardware breakthroughs Sonic brought with him or made popular.
>>738329821but enough about your mom
>>738326659It had the impact of making mentally ill people even more mentally ill
>>738330248>Describing the cultural phenomenon of Sonic in the 90's to '15 minutes' is a level of disingenuousness that's laughablenot when the discussion is about the impact the character's had on gaming into the modern day, which is basically nonexistenthe was popular for a few years 3 decades ago, and then what>I haven't even begun to talk about the technical and hardware breakthroughs Sonic brought with him or made popular.why noti was under the impression you were trying to convince people this was the case>>738330430arguably truemost of the sonic things you see these days are people playing the racing game (which i also like, it's fun), people arguing about whether or not the idw comics are canon (they are, as we've been told half a dozen times), and sonic.exe fans playing friday night funkin' mods or dead by daylight clones on roblox who think the act of playing an actual sonic game is as ridiculous as being asked to go looking for parrots in the arctic
>>738330803>goalpost movingOP says "has/had", even then the post that (You) initially responded to mentioned the 'animal mascot with 'tude era' which ran rampant in the 90's due to Sonic. So the discussion was always in scope in this conversation. Now all of a sudden it's "BUT WHAT ABOUT MODERN DAY???">why notClearly you're avoidance of the truth renders it useless to speak on it.
>>738331210>'animal mascot with 'tude era' which ran rampant in the 90's due to Sonic.that wasn't due to sonicsonic's just the only one of them that's still alive in the current year without being a quirk chungus memewhat kind of impact is thatbetter question, how does that even slightly overshadow the fact that sonic's face is attached to two of the biggest failures in gaming history>Clearly you're avoidance of the truth renders it useless to speak on it.that's an interesting way to say you're lying but ok
>>738328231I searched too, its mostly fan hersay on reddit. He looks nothing like Sonic, just another non-human cartoon character from the 90s. I did fine out that Sonic was designed after Mickey Mouse though.
>cultural impactName one mainstream video game series that plays like Sonic
>>738331472>fan hersay on redditis that actually something fans of the character believewhy on earth would they think thatthere's no visual similarity between any incarnations of either character beyond "is an anthropomorphic animal mascot"
>>738331438>that wasn't due to sonicSo what caused all these characters (>>738328583) to come out of the woodwork? Was everyone in the 90's just a furry I'll concede if true.>sonic's face is attached to two of the biggest failures in gaming historySonic isn't attached to Concord, or Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, what are you talking about?>that's an interesting way to say you're lying but okParallax Scrolling and Character Idle Animation/Expression in Sonic 1 and Tails in Sonic 2 serving as 2nd Player or Instructional AI to guide the player throughout the zone, Sonic 3 and Knuckles basically being DLC, I can go on, Sonic made those features popular and would be prevalent in other games, as you stated >anything with any modicum of popularity will get a bunch of poor man's imitations of it churned out to make a quick buck
>>738321812It gave us radical 90's mascot clones
>>738331984>2nd Player>Instructional AIok this is baitno functioning human being who plays or cares about video games would ever believe sonic the hedgehog invented the concepts of multiplayer or tutorials unless they were 6 years old and had no concept of other video games
>>738332595I accept your concession.
>>738321812mfw she's the size of an average human mother
>>738332891
>>738326745>inspired a bunch of derivative forgotten clones and popularized a gimmick that they only added because of a fucking shoe collab, taken from skater culture to begin withabout as much impact as a turd hitting the side of a toilet bowl
>>738333139>Undertale>Inspired by Earthbound, which was inspired by Sonic.ggs
Batman kneel to the blue blur.
>>738333814>Earthbound, which was inspired by Sonic
>>738333980>Eric Andre>Inspired by Ichiban Kasuga, which was inspired by SonicSee how fucking EASY it is?
>>738333863I wonder if this actually led to the ongoing DC crossover
>>738321812What is Sonic's impact on the gaming industry?
>>738335867being recognized by every kids and gamers on this planet.
>>738336503They only know him from the Sonic.exe games on Roblox
>>738321812Sonic is a huge successful multimedia empire.a shame that Sonic games suck and don't do to well.Actually come to think about it, the multimedia parts of Sonic is more important than the actual Sonic games.The Sonic games are simply a loss leader for the rest of the multimedia empire.
