I was going to bitch about the first one ripping off Sonic 1 too hard, but then it mixed it up... a little. Still ripping off Sonic 1 too hard, but at least it's not 100% the same. Prettier, too.

AAAAAAAGH just watched the second boss fight.

My excitement has dipped into the red.

Piloting a Mario-head planet (okay, it's too tiny to call it this but every spit of rock in these games is called a planet) around the galaxy. That is something. Also: hey, Yoshi!

Lost Labyrinth 2 is the stuff of nightmares.

That's it... I quit Sonic. I'm done. No more. Watching that made me physically ill.

Galaxy: I do hope that ball-star thing is easier to pilot this time around.

Not seeing the problem here?

Also, the bosses have pretty much always been more or less like that.

Because generally when I'm excited for a new game, it has to be a new game. The mine cart thing is new... but pure shit.

Nik doesn't think these vids are real. I do. I guess we'll have found out in a couple days.

I can understand that, but this is Sonic after all. People have been clamoring for it to return to its roots for ... well, quite awhile, and now that they appear to be doing exactly that, there are complaints about how it's too similar?

Am I out of line in asking for a little consistency?

Kim · 03-31-2010, 04:13 PM

When I clamor for a Sonic game to return to its roots, I mean I want it to be 2D again. I do not mean "The first boss of the game should be the exact same as the first boss of the first game." There's a noticeable difference. If I wanted to play Sonic 1, I've got Sonic 1 right here. I can play it whenever I want.

EDIT: Seeing the other stuff, the game is obviously more than just a remake, but that mine cart thing made me nauseous, and not in the "this is so bad I'm gonna be sick" way, but the "argh this is worse than a five hour car drive" way. No game has ever done that to me before.

To be fair, the premise of sonic was already starting to get a bit thin by the third game.
