Yeah the first one is good, the second and third, urgh, hate 'em. Tho' that opinion is pretty much based on the fact I can get through 1 (Albeit with Save Stating, but still, I did it), but 2 and 3 seem to screw me over round Zone 3, that disk boss on number 2 is probably my least favourite boss of all the bosses I've fought in the sonic series.

On the thing of homing attack, I think it's best place is in the 3D Sonics, I don't think I could really get through them without it, as hitting enemies without it is a nightmare. For the 2D one's it's not really needed, as it's fairly easy to hit the enemies when all they can do is dodge in a 2D Plane, plus the controls are generally better.

As for this game, I'll probably end up getting it when all the parts are out, because unless the episodes are fairly long then there won't be much point in getting 'em.

Not only are SEGA persisting with the hideous next-gen Sonic design (you call those spikes? please)
which has been around for >10 years

imo Sonic games have always looked horrible. Mario was classy but Sonic was like eye rape. And the games were always going for this psuedo-3d look but failed miserably

ok there was a cubist-sort of feel that was kind of cool but probably the intent was to make people think the Genesis had more colors than it really did at the expense of being asthetically pleasing. The whole art style makes me think of those internet ads WHICH CIRCLE IS BIGGER GUESS RIGHT AND WIN FREE IPOD also maybe it was compensating for less graphic layers on the Genesis (correct me if I'm wrong on this) wasn't even the original game totally graphics-whoring like done to show off 'hey we have more colors than NES' and 'hey we can scroll really fast' I don't know it always seemed to me the equivalent of early color films where it's like hey look at my BLUE tie *close up on radioactive-looking tie*

Edit: or like first time I saw the Lucy Show instead of I Love Lucy and it was like ahhh orange hair help me

Edit: supports my theory that gamer nostalgia is some weird masochistic shit. Now they actually have the color depth to do probably pretty close to what they intended in 1993/whatever it was. I think it's more like if they could've made the SNES Final Fight look like the arcade back when it first came out everyone would've been happy and none the wiser, you guys are making it like Double Dragon for the NES where if it sort of benefited not being able to acheive the look of the arcade game

I'm totally exaggerating but I don't think Sonic games had this incredible style to begin with and I think they were just winging it even back in the sacred 90's and it's like 'waa it doesn't look right because my eyes don't hurt enough' I mean you could call it the art style TACKY meaning it in a good way but I dunno

tries to think of some middling graphics thing I'd totally obsess over if they changed it for a remake/classic-looking sequel 'oh no they made a sequel to Goldeneye that looks totally like the original but the game runs at full frame rate now so it looks less like a movie and I always pretended the almost frozen frame rate during intense firefights was Rare's way of doing slo-mo I demand they add in code to cause the appropriate amount of lag'

that's what I'm saying it doesn't look like they had some lack of imagination that they couldn't make it look like Genesis they just wanted to fucking tone down the graphics a little bit

I want to make a sonic game now where it looks a thousand times more technicolor and vertigo-inducing like the videogame graphics equivalent of Justice's music where it's overcompressed to the point of physically hurting to look at/hear

I'm not feeling the GBA version though, it's got that look where they made every game brighter than the original because of Nintendo not fucking putting a backlight in their system in the year fucking 2000 or whatever it was. Reminds me of that first Castlevania game for GBA that very well could've been the best-looking one but you couldn't see a damn thing

i still think they forgot how to design levels after making sonic & knuckles

yeah, it looks the same (apart from like.. weird floaty lookin physics and obviously the general graphic style) but blah the level itself

oh well

I never had much fun with Sonic.  I would get frustrated at those abrupt losses in momentum and I'm frantically trying to jump up a quarter-pipe-shaped hill, but I'm jumping OUT from the hill instead of over.
keep posting...
