Nintendo have revealed in their Nintendo Direct presentation that they will be releasing a new Sonic game with SEGA called Sonic: Lost World exclusively for the Wii U. The games release date has not been announced yet, though Nintendo have said more details will be available around the time of E3. This game is part of an official worldwide partnership between Nintendo and SEGA on the Sonic franchise according to Nintendo.
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.
Very smart move by Nintendo to get Sega to make some exclusive games for the Wii U, if this Sonic game goes back to it's Sonic Adventure roots, or is as good as Sonic Colors or Sonic Generations, I'm sold!
Good Call.
Sonic can only get better through Nintendo, and Nintendo desperately needs those Wii U exclusives.
Let's hope it's (finally) a good Sonic.
Hope its finally good but im confident it will be.. Sonic on GBA was good so this might be too.. Other than that, the latest ND offered little to keep me content as a wii u owner.. E3 will determine whether or not i keep the thing or sell it & wait for a new model
Yes!!!!, now i'm excited! :3
Give me Sonic running away from a pissed off T-Rex and I'll buy it day one.
EDIT: And I wish for Sonic to be voiced by Jeff Goldblum.
