I imagine the 3d software is gonna be alot more 3D this gen. My satillite has better 3d than most games that are out.

dark-hollow4421d ago

3D is a gimmick.

It adds nothing to the quality of the picture.
It taxing on GPU/CPU and it just cool for the first 10 minutes then that's it.

Well IMO at least.

LX-General-Kaos4423d ago

Hopefully SEGA can find a way to keep next gen Sonic games on the same level or above Sonic Colors on the Nintendo Wii. That is a 3D Sonic game done the correct way. If they feel that the can not achieve that type of greatness again, they will hopefully remain side scrolling.

It has been proven that new consoles and specs will not save the Sonic series if they stray too far from the original formula. Lets all hope that SEGA remembers that next generation.

Rated E For Everyone

Wtf, Sega didnt do anythin with Sonic this gen let alone next, Sonic Generations was alright but thats about it

MrMister4421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

Why doesn't Sega let Sonic Xtreme be finished and finally published. That game had so much going for it--but they cancelled it because Yuji Naka (I dont remember his name) was jealous that an American company achieved what he STILL can never do--which is make a great 3d sonic game that still somehow captured the music, gameplay and attitude of naka's previous Genesis sonic games. After Nights, Naka couldn't produce a good mascot based game if his life depended on it. I don't know why Sega hasn't removed him from Sonic projects. I know he created it (for the most part), but he's contributed to more failed Sonic games then good ones (after Sonic 1,2, and CD, and MAYBE sonic adventure 1 (at the time))everything just kept going hill.

Bring back the geniuses who made Sonic Xtreme!!

The 7 Best Sonic the Hedgehog Games: Racing through Time

Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?

Rebel_Scum78d ago

Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.

Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.

Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Snookies1278d ago

Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.

Profchaos77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.

Mania was 5 hours roughly

However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short

Profchaos77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones

Rebel_Scum77d ago

Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.

Profchaos77d ago

Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2

persona4chie77d ago

Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭

Chocoburger76d ago

Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.

SEGA Hasn't Given Up On Competing Against Mario With Sonic

SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.

TheColbertinator171d ago

Pointless really. Mario is galactic .

SinisterMister171d ago

So is Sonic, but at a lesser level comparatively.

Snookies12168d ago

Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...

Knightofelemia171d ago

They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.

jwillj2k4171d ago

Give sonic a reason to run fast mix in some Saw and Texas chainsaw features.

Barlos171d ago

Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.

Inverno171d ago

Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.

Rebel_Scum171d ago

Nailed it. Tbh though Sega don't know how to make a good Sonic game anymore.

Why the Separation Between Modern and Classic Sonic is a Double-Edged Sword

The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
