^You got Dynasty Warriors doing the same thing.

Dynasty Warriors perfected their formula and did everything right before continuing to crank out games though. And each game they tweak a little bit more and make it a little bit better.
And they've actually had a lot less releases the last couple years.
-
True, but Dynasty Warriors isn't really talked about that much.
-
I don't understand the obsession with rail grinding in Sonic.
And the best Dynasty Warriors game is going to be that FotNS game coming out soon.
-
I'm not sure how Dynasty Warriors being whored out justifies Sonic being whored out.
-
It doesn't it's just worth mentioning that Sonic isn't the only franchise being run into ground.

The way every Tom, Dick,& Harry talk about the game you'd never know.
-
I was gonna mention COD but I remember you liked that franchise so I'll keep my mouth shut, Green.
Well, there's Guitar Hero, though.
-
So Sonic is a downhill franchise that is being whored out.
Glad we've established that.
-

I don't mind shit-on away.
-
Nah .
-
Yeah, CoD is getting kind of ridiculous. I heard they were going to start releasing one every year. Plus the Prestige edition of the next one is going for over $100 :blink: .
-
I picture the people who write for the Sonic games as guys who imagine they are writing the next Final Fantasy.
When in reality they've been writing furry melodrama and Dragonball fillers.
-
I'm boycotting Activision, but I wasn't very sure about Black Ops since it's by Treyarch. After the new MP teaser, I thought.. Ehh, why not.. But after reading on an article about the game, my mind was made up: no.. effing.. way.
The 2 special editions of the game will come with the Zombies content found in WAW, but APPARENTLY YOU ONLY GET TO PLAY ZOMBIES IF YOU BUY A SPECIAL EDITION AND NOT THE STANDARD GAME.
There's also gonna be a premium subscription service, 15 dollars a fucking month gets you early access to maps and weapons and shit, which is still stupid since you still have to fucking PAY for the maps.

When you look at other games including special editions that doesn't look as expensive as you might think, though at any rate Activision does seem to have a bad habit at selling things at absurd prices.
-
The price isn't my gripe personally, it's the fact that if I choose not to spend the extra money on worthless bull I won't be able to play fucking Zombies, arguably the best mode in COD.
Being the huge Halo fanboy that I am I'm not even getting a special edition, I'm only getting standard. The special editions do give you in-game effects but they're for aesthetic purposes only so I really don't give a shit
-

Either I'm not looking in the right places or someone (not you:ninja:) might've jumped to a conclusion but there's been no confirmation Zombies mode is exclusive to only the Prestige & Hardened editons just the 4 Zombies maps which'll probably be available to all players after the game's release.
I also think the whole subscription based multiplayer news was just something Activison was considering for another Call of Duty game and not the main ones.
-
Hmm, well that article might've not been as legit as I thought it was.
Still, if it WAS confirmed, that'd be horrible. But that sounds way too ridiculous even for Activision standards, so it might just be those 4 maps.
-
Why are people talking with Sandai Mera.
-
I never understood the appeal of CoD.
It always seemed so…boring to me.
-
@JERK:

I always thought he was Jinbei, since he turned up right after Jinbei'd gotten banned following a flame war with Luffy Batter.

Holy shit, that Retro Channel sounds insane. I may just have to download it.

Here here.
I can see charging more for the special edition but $100 is ridiculous on so many levels. Plus the story's most likely only a couple hours with pretty much no replay value other than the multiplayer packed with camping and trash-talking 13 year olds.

Musou Gundam 2 is pretty awesome too actually. Dashing and distance weaponry being more common adds a lot of variety to the old formula.
The way every Tom, Dick,& Harry talk about the game you'd never know.
Well I don't know any of those guys.
I know ROBBY says that they figured out how to do it right pretty early on by Dynasty Warriors 3… then LISTENED to what the fans requested, and tweaked it every 6 months for the next several years. They fixed the archer problems, learned how to work with the system limits, gave stories to everyone, kept expanding the roster and weapons and side characters and added an RPG mode, and balanced the cast incredibly well while always making the new characters distinct and fun while making the old ones better.
Hell, they added tigers and elephant riding eventually, both of which are awesome.
If you played Dynasty Warriors 3 and then played Dynasty Warriors 3.5, you'd see the differences… but if you played Dynasty Warriors 3 and then skipped directly to Samurai Warriors 2 from 5 years later, well, there's be a whole world of "oh crap, they made this way better over time by continuously tweaking and improving the system from something that worked!

Damn that actually sounds like fun.

Is that another legendary bad poster?
-
The Retro Channel thing sounds awesome.
The custom soundtrack sounds awesome. I'd so play Cammy's theme for the Labyrinth Stage, and "How Deep is Your Love" by the Beegees for Starlight Zone (BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD, those two songs sound so much alike).
EDIT: Not that there is anything wrong with the original game's music. I used to hum Starlight Zone to myself as a kid to put myself to sleep when I got scared.
-
Yeah, when I get home, I am so downloading.
I think I have a Sonic Retro account already :ninja:
-
Call me when Sonic is finally ended as a franchise.
-

You'll be dead by then. As will I. As will all of us.
I'm not saying that as a "Sonic is so good" sort of way. I mean it as in, "Dead horses that brought great joy once will always be kicked."
EDIT: Wow. That came out creepy. I mean it as in we will not see it happen, for Sonic will exist longer than a lifetime.
-
The Sonic usage wouldn't be as bad if they made new games with the dumb game mechanics they keep putting in Sonic games.
-
That Marble song was sexy yo

Logic would think that.
However, people never use logic that much.
@THE:

Agreed.
-
I already posted about this, but certain handlers seem to be using established franchises as places to insert pet projects and attempts to "attract" new audiences.
Sonic is the key example here, what with the Werehog and all.
-
So apparently, Sonic's new VA was editted a little bit for the Alton Towers resort, and he's released the uneditted lines. The only difference really is that the resort deepened his voice and slowed the tempo a tad.
http://www.wikiupload.com/28ZUlHQy
He still sounds slightly off, but I was also just warming up to Jason Griffith too, so that might be a factor. I have an inkling though that he'll catch on and do fine with the role. :)
-
Yea hes good. Besides hes probably 10X the actor Griffith is considering hes more experienced.
-
why does sonic even need a voice at all
i mean, like, link and mario and samus barely need voice actors
sonic should just shut up and RUN
-
But who would spit shameful lingo from 20 years ago and comment on the dead serious war between furries and a fat man in spandex.
-
Hahaha. What?….Lmao
A review of the Official Nintendo Power Magazine gaming studios said that the action was fast, the levels were nice and long, and that there were loads of different routes available through each level. Their favorite Wisp was the Drill Wisp. In the end they mentioned that Sonic was at his best at mimicking Mario elements similar to 2010's hit game Super Mario Galaxy 2. They said the game will be the equivalent of all-daytime stages of Sonic Unleashed. IGN said that Sonic Colors might be, "The best Sonic game of this generation", praising its level design and fully-packed action with vibrant colors
I dont trust Nintendo Power becuase they usually give good reviews to game even if they suck. But it still makes me feel good.
-
Lost Labyrinth was officially revealed.
They've overhauled the level, too, and added a gimmick involving Sonic carrying a torch. He can see through dark areas with the torch and even light dynamite to open new paths.
Of course, the minecart level has been removed, but not entirely, as there are short sections where Sonic can ride a minecart, but its not motion-controlled (think Sonic: Triple Trouble)
They mentioned more updates will be coming, starting tomorrow.
-
Here's an interesting article about the sorta thing discussed here:
http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-sonic-video-weve-been-waiting-16-years-to-see/a-20100825103041757096 -
That just totally makes me depressed.
THATS IT SEGA, THATS IT RIGHT THERE. JUST DO THAT.
-
UGH
I have to vomit.

@robbybedfart:

They can do it.
They've just shown no desire to do so.
-
I saw that Mushroom Hill video and wanted to cry.
Is it bad that I would actually buy a 2.5D revision of Sonic 1-3?
Also, according to a Kotaku article, Sega both saw and commented on the MH video. They claim that it is awesome…
So why don't you fucking make it? :getlost:
-
Robot Unicorn Attack is a new Sonic game for me.
-
UGH
I have to vomit.
Is that… old school amy Rose following Sonic in Sector Z (aka Tetris from Hell) from Starfox?
WRRRRRY

If dimps made it sonic would be as manoeuvrable as a truck with speed boosters every ten paces.
-
Id say the level looks interesting, even though its just of floating squares but hell i dont know.
If they did include Multiplayer why is the other just a red sonic?
Either way, just make the game and fix it up before giving a damn about co-op. -
UGH
I have to vomit.
Wait….so is that an image from Sonic Colors?

Right. Totally forgot they were incapable of doing anything right.
-

Yup. Came from amazon.jp

They did good with street fighter.
Kinda shocking it's the same company really.
