I think I hate Sonic the Hedgehog, but only his sprite from Sonic 3. Why did they ruin him?

This board is full of contrarians, people who think sonic 1 was the only good sonic game, people who think it went to shit after 2, people who think only SA1 was a good sonic game, you're all fucking wrong. Every sonic game before unleashed is a masterpiece.

My favorite sonic game is the most hated and always has been that way, and yes it's fucking CD. I wish people would actually soften up to that game, instead of circlejerking the same 3 genesis games.

CD being the undisputable best game in the series was a pretty common opinion back before the Taxman port released, and some time after it. Not many people challenged that claim, because somehow most would-be players were filtered by having to set up the Sega CD BIOS in Kega Fusion.

SonicCD is fucking great. I played it for the first time last month and felt like I was part of an exclusive club because I never knew anyone with a segaCD. My kids love it too and it seems to have better replay ability than the other 3 but maybe I'm just not a huge sonic fan and I'm also not bored of it yet.

I don't particularly care for the sprite but there's nothing wrong with hue shifting. The Mana games are hue shifted and it's some of the best pixel art there is.
>>
>>12556789
CD has a neat concept and introduced some great characters but the game actually feels like ass to play.
I really tried to enjoy it but even Sonic 1 without the spin dash is more fun.

Lol what a bitter faggot nigger. You sound overweight, underwhelming, and insecure.

I wish 1 had the spin mechanic. I'm surprised I haven't heard of a romhack that does it.

I don't understand what you are discussing. A slightly lighter shade of blue? What is his complaint about?

Virtually every rerelease since Sonic Jam already added spin dash to the game.

Hue shifting is when you make shadows and highlights a different hue instead of just darker or lighter
For example here the tree shadows are blue instead of just dark green

I'm clearly ill-informed and out of the loop. I have never owned a genesis, and I'm definitely not a sanic guy but thanks for the information, I will look into this.

Always liked the shade of blue for Mania

>>12556167
They wanted to make Sonic 3 a 3D game at first, and made that model you see on the title screen and in 3D Blast for it, but after realizing that they couldn't make it work, they settled for making the sprite take cues from the model instead.

Actually, there's an amazing romhack of both 1 and 2 called "Sonic Classic Heroes" which adds all the modern movesets, including dropdash.

Mid-to-late '90s would have been more appropriate to the era they were aiming for IMO

Nah, Sonic 06 for all intensive purposes was the last REAL sonic game. After that it turned into furry shit

3 at least looks "next gen" or like a step forward than having him look the exact fucking same for 20 fucking years in a row. Imagine if Mario still looked like his Mario 3 sprite in mario world, it would look fucking retarded.

I like 3s sprite

SONIC DOESN'T HAVE BLUE ARMS

Since this is a Sonic thread: why the fuck is Sonic 8-Bit so fucking mean. It's not like it's hard, but the contrast of just how much spiteful shit there is in it compared to the 16-Bit games is crazy.
>>
>>12557984
Like, the game gear one?
>>
>>12558019
NTA, but Game Gear Sonic 1 was well-designed since the levels were modified accordingly to fit the Game Gear's lower resolution. Sonic 2, on the other hand, did no such thing and straight-up ported the Master System game without taking the Game Gear's resolution into consideration.
>>
>>12558019
Played it on Master System. It was just a lot of like, little things. Some leaps of faith, lives being put onto springs to bait you, vertical points of no return being super aggressive in Jungle Act 2, Sky Base Act 2 having no rings while having stuff like the turrets being silly with picking an angle while loading in or the bomb enemy that literally only exists to make the spike hallway be a tight squeeze, or similarly no rings at all in the Robotnik fights while occasionally taking cheap shots while otherwise being piss easy

It's a lot of small bits that I think that if I played it as a kid I'd be rightfully pissed the fuck off

In pixel art, each detail down to the individual pixels are placed deliberately and consciously, rather than as a brush stroke. This ow-the-edge drawing I did uses a GBC palette but I wouldn't consider it wholly "pixel art" since most off it was done with brush strokes.

Generations is a good game and has the nod to the better games

Inversely, this piece would be considered pixel art as every placed pixel on it was a deliberate act at the pixel level, you can even see some tiling in the sewer brickwork.

It's really a matter of the scale you're working at.

I don't get the appeal of generations, it's just 4 bosses, doing the same level twice, and helping out your friends with side-missions to proceed with the rest of the game.

Maybe i'm just suffering from the phenomenon of subjective validation because I only hear people say this is the worst sonic game and argue the worst points possible to say that it is.
>>12556353
I never understood the "bad level design" meme because I always thought it was the freest sonic ever felt in his own game, you can use the physics to shoot yourself into the air and soar through every level, do sick platforming to get up to higher places or even use the environment to your advantage to make time traveling easier. It's just better in my opinion, some of the best levels in the classic series. I guess people are just more comfortable with 2 where the levels are tailored towards just blazing through them, while CD level design expects you to be somewhat focused.
>>12556959
People on this site tend to be bitter if you like any game, especially one that is seen as the black sheep. Tis is the site where people come to hate video games after all.
>>
>>12556946
CD gameplay feels ass because you are probably trying to use the spindash, the peelout is just better and gives you the max speed instantly but you just don't get the perks of invulnerability.
>>
>>12556789
>felt like I was part of an exclusive club because I never knew anyone with a segaCD.
I got a Mega-CD just for Sonic CD and it ended up leading me to discovering so many great games in turn, so thank you Sonic.
