How to Make A Better Sonic Game

That's cause Amy is annoying as fuck.

Yep.

She's also jailbait material (for hedgehogs and GameFAQs residents).

... I believe she's also half-crazed. Why else would she carry such a large mallet around?

Because she's a girl in a Japanese game. Don't you watch anime?

A 3 year old difference isn't a big deal in the Japanese video game/anime world. Believe me, I've seen worse. *cough*CCS*cough*

Sonic also doesn't seem to give Rouge a look either and that makes you wonder...

Not to mention Naka said 'Eggman' is an affectionate name Sonic uses for Robotnik...

And then there is that mutual air-wanking-off scene in SA2 when Sonic and Shadow are changing into their super forms...

Sonic doesn't seem to have much interest in anything but goofing off and kicking Eggman butt. That, and Rouge is Knux's girl. Sonic's not gonna go after his friend's love interest. Boy's got more class than that.

There isn't much to a Sonic/Tails pairing beyond "they're both male let's stick them together OMG!" I don't get the vibe off either of them. Shadow, on the other hand...

No, of course not.

I've seen one ep of City Hunter that closely mirrored the sordid Sonic/Amy relationship, giant mallet and all (except, of course, the main protagonist being a lecher). I assume the entire series is like that.

A better Sonic game would involve time trav-- oh wait.

A better Sonic game would involve interdimensional crossin-- ah shoot.

A better Sonic game would NOT involve 40+ miscellaneous playable characters with little to no backstory. Yeah, that works.

Tails should be highly adaptable, able to use enemy weapons against said enemies. Knuckles should be a hardcore fighter. Some enemies should have Master Emerald shards in them. And the only way to get them back is to beat the ever-lovin' fuck out of them. Now Shadow should be about light stealth and cool power blasts. Reply wih more on the characters and what they should do.

Genius...Pure Genius.

Then again given that the artist drew <a href="http://ichisuke5.fc2web.com/yume.html">this</a>, they very well be holding hands.

MY EYES...IT BURNS!!

Maybe..because Eggman experimented on Sonic a child (a theory on his origin and powers), he lost...um, his um stature as a man

... or maybe not.

This whole conversation just got amazingly hot.

NeoShogun_Zero · Post by **NeoShogun_Zero** » Wed Jun 23, 2004 8:12 pm

Now, on the game itself. It should be the first three Sonic games fitted together in one badass experience. And once you defeat the game with all the characters, two things should be unlocked in the trial mode. 1: All characters can play all stages. 2: the villians should be playable in all stages. Just imagine Eggman hauling his big fat ass around being chased by his own creations. Reply with more

How about Sonic has to escape from each level at the end IN whatever machine Eggman used to try to kill him a second ago. If he can pilot the plain Eggomatic after Launch Bae, maybe he can drive something else Eggman built.

NeoShogun_Zero · Post by **NeoShogun_Zero** » Wed Jun 23, 2004 8:39 pm

That would kinda knock out the assuption that he is the fastest thing on two or less feet. A better example would be Sky Chase. It would differ depending on who you play as. If you were Sonic, you would sort of cloud surfing while hanging on to the Tornado. Sonic would also throw homing bombs while dodging things that might come at him. In Sonic's game, Tails would be controlled by the CPU. But, in Tails' game, the roles are reversed. Tails flies the plane and it sort of plays like Panzer Dragoon with the missles.

Maybe it's time to bring the co-op aspect of Sonic back? I'm just not sure how you'd accomplish that with multiple high-speed characters in a vast, 3-D world.

The most dissapointing thing about Sonic Heroes' concept is that you have three characters and they all HAVE to be played by a single player. That game would've kicked ass if three players could all rush through the stages at once and had to cooperate to open up new parts of the stage.

How about just a good 3D side-scroller game?

NeoShogun_Zero · Post by **NeoShogun_Zero** » Wed Jun 23, 2004 9:23 pm

If all the characters were the same, it would be five years of mistakes all over again.

This gives me new thoughts about Amy

. WOW!!! I feel this warm, comfy feeling now!

Sonic is an obvious ladies man. He doesn't perv on Rouge (Hello, silicone!) because he only goes for the all naturals. Like someone said, he has SOME class.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 11:35 am

Are you talking about the babes at Station Square, Neil?

I guess that would explain what Sonic was doing at a swimming pool, considering he can't swim.

But what woman would want to date a creature that's not only significantly smaller than they are, but is also super-fast? Er, if you catch my drift.

Owen Axel · Post by **Owen Axel** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 11:42 am

Oh, I imagine Sonic would be quite the pleaser if he could focus all his hyperactive energy upon one woman.

Piston...yada-yada-yada...

But then it will be all over in 3 seconds which is really a gyp.

Owen Axel · Post by **Owen Axel** » Thu Jun 24, 2004 2:32 pm

Au contraire. Consider that the action of running is merely to excercise certain muscles in the legs and then repeat the action over and over and over and over and over... If Sonic can run for hours on end without slowing down, then a redirection of muscle work is all that is necessary.

(It takes a special kind of boredom to start defending the sexual prowess of a fictional cartoon character)

I think they should make a Sonic game on one of the consoles that's not 3d. Have Sonic Team do a high resolution, hand drawn, 2d sprite game. Just make it like classic sonic, but don't reuse old genesis or gameboy advance stuff. Going back to 2d would get rid of the camera and control problems, all there'd be to worry about is level design. If they put some effort into it, it could be pretty bad ass. Kind of like how they did Castevania Symphony of the Night. Twas on a 3d system, but they did some awesome stuff with 2d.

That co-op that Zeta talked about would be cool. It'd have to have split screen or system link though.

And Sonic runs away from Amy because he'd probably rip her in half.
