>series has released shit game after shit game for over a decade >romhackers from the good games pitch an official release >comes out and is universally loved, publisher seethes so hard over its success that they refuse to do a sequel has this BTFOing ever happened before or since?
My issue is that they turned sonic into a cereal mascot character Its embarrassing how even a nintendo game starfox mogs it now when it comes to seriousness
>>738757969 >My issue is that they turned sonic into a cereal mascot character With Mania? Bro that happened in the 90s. Sega of America shoved Sonic absolutely everywhere. If it was a medium, Sonic was there.
>>738759283 No not with mania just the IP in general feels so incredibly childish now I cant stand it and It makes me sad I cant really enjoy it anymore because of it
>>738759570 Sonic became more developed and interesting as time went on but then they threw it all out the window with Colors and he's been this stupid clown ever since.
>>738757969 The whiplash between Illumination's Fox and the new SF64 remake is like going from Sonic Mania to a game with Paramount's original ugly Sonic
>make game with fantastic art, fantastic gameplay, fantastic level design >universal acclaim >decide not to make sequel and do something new >make new game with bad art, mid gameplay, mid level design >gets forgotten in a week What the fuck went wrong?
>>738757428 I really don't get the hype about Mania, its not like 2D Sonic isn't incredibly accessible. I'd rather another good 3D Sonic than do the hits all over again.
>>738757969 Faggots who whine about Sonic needing to be "taken seriously" are THE scourge of the fandom. Worse than the furries, the lesbian shippers, the classicfags, the lorefags, the children, the smelly autists, everyone. Everything else would be fine if it weren't for you faggots shitting up the fandom and making Sega think making fun the focus isn't the priority. It's a fucking noodle limb cartoon animal wearing vaudeville minstrel gloves based off of Bill Clinton and Santa Claus. It should be based around fun, not seriousness. Go fucking seethe and cope and die in a hole and take your ilk with you.
>>738763064 because SEGA has been trying to do nostalgia but they missed the mark like 5 fucking times and it took a group of western autists to finally design what's essentially S3&K with extra zones
>>738762904 >make a horrible unappealing character and use horrible art direction for everything else >cater to speedruner slop by being able to just jump past half the entire level >shadow drop your game without advertising
>>738762904 Ugly as sin character makes me not want to play it These retards self sabotaged, no other way to read it Literally make your MC a bitch with huge tits and you are gold, why in the world would you design anything other than that for your game
>>738763419 He doesn't have one. Most of /v/ is drive by posting or people who's entire personality revolves around their favorite content creator's opinion (That they themselves got from someone else who formed it based on reading a headline and/or tweet once)
>>738764320 >>738764320 There are also those claims by Stealth that Sega asserted over their builds of Sonic 3 for Origins, and that they wouldn't let Headcannon fix the work for free when they begged to both before and after release. There's definitely a lot of shonkiness going on with Sega and how they view other people working on classic Sonic.
