Sonic Lost World, Pokemon Rumble, and Family Party 30 Great Games were chosen as three of the worst games on Wii U in 2013, but the one that truly is the worst as chosen by the votes is...
The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.
They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.
My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.
Performative for optics, I would think.
It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)
Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.
Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?
It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.
Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr
Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending
While a number of the games before it help influence Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Lost World acts as the blueprint for the game's open-zone design.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I’m a huge fan of the series and love to talk about its best games… but its hard to argue that it’s all been great for the blue blur. From games that were loaded with glitches, slow-paced gameplay, and visuals that look more like a blue blur of… pixels and polygons. So, take this as a warning to avoid these 10 worst Sonic games of all time."
Never played any of these on this list, surprised Sonic R isn't there, but then i played that on my first PC and didn't think it was that bad, got some mild enjoyment out of it at least.
Lost World, Black Knight, Forces and Chronicles should not be on that list, I can easily think of worse.
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Eraser, Sonic R, these are all way worse than the games on this list. Knuckles Chaotix was terrible as well, I hated the way you had to control the players, it was a pain in the ass. Even games like Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball and Rivals 1 and 2 which I thought were decent were worse than some of the games on this list.
To be brutally honest, most of the Game Gear and Master System Sonic games are pretty awful too. Sonic Chaos on the Game Gear for example, you can't even see what you are doing because the field of view is so bad.
I would rather play Sonic 06 than any of the games I listed above, and that game is classed as the worst Sonic game of the lot.
People have nostalgia glasses on when they think about old 2D Sonic games. Outside of the mainline games on the Mega Drive, most of them were worse than the modern day 3D games.
Sonic 1 & 2 on the MS2 and GG were great games. Perfect blend of speed, secrets and challenge.
Sonic Chaos was shite. Too easy and gross looking sprites and backgrounds.
imo 1-10 for worst Sonic games would just be all the 3D one's and Sonic Fighters.
There is definitely some worse games than Lost World,
The guy who wrote this definitely didn't dig enough into the franchise history haha
General question.
Is your favorite Sonic game the first one you played?
If not, is you favorite the same style as your first? (3D, 2D, some other distinction?)
My favorite game is not the first one I played. (First one I played was Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis)
My favorite one is probably 3&K or Mania, so yes it is in the same style as the first game I played.
My favourite Sonic game is not the first one I played or same style.
The first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive, my favourite is Sonic Adventure 2.
I disagree with Sonic Forces on that list but the others are correct.
Sonic Forces is hella under rated.
where is the winner for worst game on ps4/3 and xboxone/360?
i'm gussing PS4:knack
XboxOne:Ryse
PS3:Beyond two Souls
Xbox360:idk?!? Gears is the only exclusive they had this year...
The new sonic game was that bad...?
I would have given it to Mass Effect 3, personally.
I mean, yeah, the game pad gave the game TONS of potential beyond what a normal controller could do, but the way the game was implemented…
It did not get all of the DLC available for the series, and for the other, we all know how heavily the trilogy of the games rely upon having played the previous entries, of having lived through that story and gameplay.
Not only was the game released at the same time as a COLLECTION OF THE WHOLE SERIES ON LAST GEN CONSOLES, they tried to make up for the lack of two game's worth of storyline to play through, with a comic book version of the past two game's important plot points.
That did NOTHING to convey the same sense of drama and struggle that playing through the whole series would have.
Top that off with poor optimization in certain areas of the game[some instances of frame rate drops and areas of bad graphical polish], and it just added up to one big steaming pile of a mess that no Wii U owner should have had to deal with out of a company as large as EA is in this industry.
EA dun screwed up with Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U. Third parties like EA need to live up to their reputation regardless of what they're developing on.
If they can't, then they should just stick to their lazy and comfortable ways by sticking to consoles that always use similar architecture to what they learned to work with, and leave the consoles that require learning new ways of developing games to other third parties with more willingness to learn a system from the inside out and develop for it correctly, rather than always sticking to what they're used to or what's easiest and doing a poor job on porting games as a result.
I find it hilarious Chrono posted this.
On topic, I enjoyed Sonic Lost World and haven't tried Pokemon Rumble U. I can understand how all three titles made this list based on reviews, but I'm sure there are worse games than Sonic Lost World.
