Vectorman was the best game on the system after all, and if something as shitty as Sonic could get multiple sequels why couldn't it?

A PS2 game was in development circa 2004 but it looked like shit.
>>
>>12597023
Shit dev didn't adopt with the times. Opted to make 32X games over PSX games.

Looks like they were headed down the bomberman arc

-_-

They were making a third one, for PS2, but that got cancelled. The second one sucked, so maybe it was a good thing.
>>
>>12597023
They should've not made the second game
>>
>>12597174

You could say the same thing about Sonic yet we got drenched in awful releases.
>>
>>12597023
Sega doesn't give a shit unless it's Yakuza or Sonic. They're sitting on tons of abandoned IPs.

Mike Cerny created both Sonic 2 and Vectorman 2.
Kneel and praise the most genius video game creator in history, pleb.
>>
>>12597202
Sonic was fine until after & Knuckles

>Why didn't it get a third installment?
The second one wasn't very good, it was rushed and no one asked for it. If it had a bit more time to cook and released on the Saturn it could've been better, but it probably also would've sold even less and the series would have died anyway.
>>
I remember thinking Vectorman looked so cool and advanced but I never got through the opening level.
>>
>>12597338
Agreed that it was rushed, but was it really that bad? Only really bad parts I remember are the repeated tank and skate levels.
>>
>>12597279
I wonder if it annoyed Yuji Naka (and weebs in general) that Sonic 2 was always considered the best one.

>>12597421
Yuji Naka was the director of Sonic 2 lol

I've been playing this game on and off for 20 years and only recently discovered that there's a bonus side scroller level.
>>
>>12597513
Isn't it in the second game only?
>>
>You will never see the prize cart dumped
>>
>>12597386

It wasn't that bad but the levels weren't as varied as the first.
>>
>>12597023
It was a come and go thing, be glad it got a second game, which abruptly ends and has a weird final boss (literally a giant spider), and no real ending.

Also by your shitdiss as sonic, I realized I am replaying to tranny smith baitbot....
>>
>>12597279
Which one was the AI creature, Jesus tranny smith you are getting worse.

It was made to look 3D and futuristic even though it was a 2D platformer. So it didn't make sense for that kind of a character to get carried over to newer systems which were truly 3D. So the whole "looks 3D" turns into a gimmick. Donkey Kong Country had already outmatched Vectorman in this department on the SNES a year prior, and that carried on into other games because graphics alone weren't the defining characteristic. Really, it was just taking the graphics of Ballz and putting it into a not-very-fun platformer two years too late

vectorman 3 has several wildly different prototypes on ps2

halo did a lot of damage to vectoman's 3d future and one of the protos looks way too similar.
i kinda like the more goofy ones in the later footage where he dances to the stage themes while you play, but has crazy 3d rayman vibes.

wait fuck, rayman in 3d is literally vectorman
>>
*shrugs* I remember enjoying Vectorman and even beating it.
For a western game it was very good and one of the few good games produced by SoA
>>
>>12597202

King contrarian over here.
>>
>>12598884

Not really that contrarian of an opinion, most stuff that came after Sonic 2 was lackluster. I can't think of a single release that wasn't on the Genesis that was worth playing.
