Why not? They're part of the full picture. O_o
I've gotta go with the Death Egg. That schick was straight up epic. Then again...Chaos did rock too. SA is probably the only game I don't mind there being a prehistoric beast in. Because the Egg Carrier was[were] pretty sweet too and Chaos was the first beast so it was new then. This Dark Gaia isn't new. Not unless...it really is a monster on a rampage and Eggman isn't trying to control it or anything. Besides...Eggman has a station set-up in space, yes?
Why not? They're part of the full picture. O_o
Because this whole thread is about a platformer and we were discussing how the character was handled in other platformers in the series for the last few posts. Anything else is nearly out of topic.
It struck me as being about characterization as far as Eggman went. Characterization doesn't stop and doesn't have different rules as you go from one genre or gameplay style to another.
Why?
I cursed more at Wing Fortress, both Death Egg end bosses, and the Doomsday boss more than I ever did at the Biohazard and Final Hazard. Heck, to this day I still can't beat Doomsday or Wing Fortress without debug on, but I've beat the Biolizard and the Final Hazard dozens of times.
Eggman was a genuine threat, as I'm sure many of us who grew up with the Genesis games can attest. But now?
I was never able to take him seriously. He wore Mickey Mouse pants. And a towel on his shoulders. =p
whats wrong with micky mouse pants & a towl.....at least its better then some other villans get ups that i can think of.
Heck, to this day I still can't beat Doomsday or Wing Fortress without debug on,
You can't beat doomsday with debug because as soon as you undebug the whole going to the right thing de-activate and you fall to your death.
^Maybe she meant the boss before the Doomsday Zone?
The "Imma Chargin Mah Laser" fellow?
The "Imma Chargin Mah Laser" fellow?
Yea I remember the first time I fought that guy. Crazy hard!! Timing is key in that fight. Then after you beat that...it's still kinda tricky.
Oops, I should've made myself clearer.
It's Wing Fortress that I can't beat without debug on.
S3&K's Death Egg final boss was murder, especially the last part.
You thought S3&K's final boss was hard?
The only truly hard boss in Sonic was Sonic 2's boss. And it would have been easy if they had just provided you with rings.
Well, it'd be much easier, though one would still probably end up losing rings and having to recover them constantly. Kinda like the final boss of Sonic CD, where you've pretty much got no choice than to just go barrelassing into the Eggmobile and recover rings each time... or at least that's how I do it. XD
I find the hardest boss ever to be Death Egg Act 1...
Can't beat that guy without Supersonic. D:
Luckily there are some conveniently-placed ring containers and electric shield just a little before the boss itself.
I'd have to say the final boss on sonic 2 is the hardest. It took me like 10 times to beat that mofo back in the day, (& even now it takes me about 3 0r 4.) yea i sux at sonic2
I die all the time fighting him, but not because of it's difficulty. It was usually because of a fatal collision detection glitch that sends Sonic flying right through the front of the machine and into his arm, killing you. Thinking about it, I'm really disgusted with Sonic Team that, back then, in their heyday, they still left gamebreaking glitches like that in their games.
Eh, the final bosses weren't that hard

Ha! Whatever! Hard stuff dude. SA Tails...i'm with you on Sonic CD though, that's exactly how I do it too. lol And TTG I too would go through Eggman's front and hit that blasted arm. LAME! That was our foreshadowing of the horrible glitches etc we would grow to know ST for...i'm telling you. 😛
You remember that demo shown in E3 guys?
Well, here are three separate videos from the gameplay demo at E3!
Whoever took pre-SA1 Eggman seriously has something very wrong with them. lol
At least he was a threat then, what with all those giant Eggman mechs and the interchangable weapons for his Egg Mobile. Not to mention, he could outrun Sonic who was supposed to be the fastest being alive.
Checkerballs and ladybug robots are serious business, it seems.

He's still much of a threat now. You think even half of those monsters would even be around without his meddling?
Besides, this is pre-SA Eggman you're talking about. The guy who would throw a hissy fit when collect all the Emeralds. The guy who would run away from an actual fight (and Sonic was toying with him. You really think you've ever saw Sonic at his fastest) The guy who didn't use better protect armor to protects his mechs from getting damage. The guy who looked like a fat clown.
Hahaha! Yays! Muchas Gracias!
Niiiiiiice poster!

In wing fortress all you have to do after the platform jumping part is jump that gap instead of using the launcher.

Nine times out of ten I can't even get that far. The platform jumping screws me up almost every single time.
And, my God, Were-Sonic is as ugly as sin.
I think the Werehog is adorable and that his design fits in very well. ^^
aw
...
I wonder what kind of a reaction he'd get if they went in the opposite direction and Sonic was turned into a mecha instead?
While the mecha fangirl part of me thinks that would be totally wicked, Sonic doesn't need a mecha form. Especially one with just a few bits of armor slapped on.
This "were-hog" is basically a longer furred Sonic on steroids with claws and fangs.
Would'nt Were-Sonic being "Ugly as sin" be the whole point?
Logic is severely lacking in many humans. 😛
Surely, one would want an out of control monster who's the Mr Hyde version of a basically nice guy to look like a hideous monster instead of looking like Animal Kirby. lol
But... that's the point. Sonic DOESN'T want to be one. Nor do we want him to be a werehog. So we play the game to save his hide to turn back into normal.

Oh yea? Is that the storyline? Or maybe, just maybe, Sonic discovers he has to live a doulble life. Adventurous Sonic by day and crime fighting Were-hog by night. Or...yea...

NANANANANANANANANANA WEREHHOG LOL!
That would be great, sonic leading a double life...but i doubt that would happen, as for werehog being ugly as sin, no he ain't ive seen some pretty ugly things & he ain't one of em, im probly gonna be shoot for defending this game, but yea i still say it looks awsome & well mabye its becuase im a hulk fan, but i find the whole werehog thing intriguing & hillaarious & although it deffiantly doesn;t add to the game it really doesn't tkae a way either., i can't wait to get my hands on this baby & smash the hell out of some badniks as the werehog!!!
Were hog FTW baby!!! yeah!

Hahaha exactly Legionfan. It won't happen though, you're right. =P I personally think he's cute, considering. I wiah it would've been Tails that got cursed, how sweet would that be? But yea it doesn't really take anything away from that game, well...not anything more than the shooting levels did in SA2. Hopefully the story will be interesting enough to keep my playing through the night time levels and enjoy it, if not only to see the next cutscene. 😛
Wow, Tails a monster? Would be high time for him to let out all of his pent up emotions!
From what? I don't know...

Back when I was in school I made some roughly drawn comics about the misadventures of Sonic and friends. Sonic and Knuckles jumped at any chance to beat the crap out of each other (such as a stolen lollipop in their childhood). Most of the comics ended with Tails (who was portrayed as a pacificst and a wuss) being hit accidentally, which triggered his transformation into a seething beast. In the final panel he would always eat Sonic and Knuckles.

XDXDXDXD!!!! Good goodness! Little Tails? Really? Craziness!
Okay, so I am going to be honest...
When I first heard of Sonic becoming a "werehog" I litterally lol'ed. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like where they are going with this and all. It's different...it just sort of caught me off guard.
Can we really have high hopes for this game?
The game is alread getting slammed because of it's similarity to Twilight Princess. And if we think about it: Is the whole conspet of the werehog really something we can see affiliated with Sonic without making it seem a little silly?
The gameplay: Is the ganeplay as a warehog going to take away from te original feel of a Sonic game?
Once again, I somewhat like the idea; I'm just afraid it will do more damage than anything. -_-;
I am so tired of the new games comming out falling into a less than satisfactory category. Sonic deserves SO much more than that and yet....
Example:
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) = Wonderful graphics, didn't like the story so much, HATED Elise....
Also, what's up with all the new hedgehog's and looking like Shadow???? Where did the originality go???
Honestly, they could have made a better movie out of that storyline, not a game.
Ugh, I'm sorry, I don't want to make this into a heavy critique on the Sonic Team and their work....
Tis just I love our little Blue Blurr and I want his reputation to keep goin strong. xD
(Growing up with Sonic has made me a Sonic Freak so please forgive me if I seem WAAYYY to excited about this whole thing. *shot*)

Man, you were twisted child. lol
*Looks around quietly* CLEAR! *Jumps into the topic* Maybe not. But I want to share some of my ideas on how the beast; Dark Gaia, will be used in the game and what role it has in the game's story.
As you all know the named from that article I posted said that the beast's name is Dark Gaia. Gaia is an Asian word for life force of the Earth or as I have heard.
So, I guess Gaia became "Dark Gaia" after that negative Chaos energy beam was used by Eggman on the Earth.
So, maybe Sonic must collect the emeralds to neutralize Dark Gaia back into Normal Gaia
What if Gaia was affected by the negative Chaos power of the beam and that negative Chaos power corrupted Gaia and caused it to be come Dark Gaia, because if the negative energy in it?
And that's why Sonic needs to find the Chaos Emeralds and bring them to their shrines, so he can use their power to reverse the corruption of Dark Gaia and neutralize it back to Regular Gaia
What I am trying to say is that after Gaia is restored from its darkness, is not under Eggman's control anymore. But due to some effect with the negative Chaos energy in it, Gaia is too weak to even do anything about Eggman. So Sonic must finish the job and stop Eggman from whatever he may be using to conquer Earth.
So, what do you think?
Someone just fill me in real quick,
This game will have Sonic as fully-controllable, correct? None of that Sonic & The Secret Rings crap?

But reading is good for you. =(
Uh, game will be 2D and 3D switching from different camera perspectives from time to time. The Wii and PS2 version will be mostly developed by Dimps and will focus on 2D a bit more compared to the 360/PS3 version.
But reading is good for you. =(
Don't act as if I'm an idiot, I know the premise of the game and whatnot, but some recent videos brought up a question for me, which I didn't even get the correct answer to. Some of us don't have time to scour a few hundred posts for a simple piece of information, which you could have easily supplied without giving me a typical 'omg ur dum cuz you don't liek look at postz' attitude.
What I mean was, will Sonic move forward automatically, with only you being able to steer him, as if he were on autopilot (as in the Secret Rings? Or will you have complete control, as in Adventure, Heroes, ect, instead of moving him only with left/right and jumps?
