Sega: "We Fucking Hate Making Side-Scrolling Hedgehog Games"
lol
Someone in Sega management really, really hates Sonic.
just....lol
Sonic is BACK.
Tommy Tallarico
That really looks like a bad joke.
No, they're totally serious. They have brought the fruits of their imagination to the market.
Sword wielding hedgehog fruits.
I want Sonic to jerk me off with his fucking King Arthur gauntlet or whatever that shit is
What ze fuck? I feel bad for Ohshima for what Sega's done to Sonic since he left.
I was asked by one of the developers at E3, after the 360 Sonic presentation, if I really liked it. I said it looked ok but my favorite was the Sega CD version, due to the way it was classic side-scrolling Sonic that either let you explore or zip through the level quickly depending on what the player felt like doing.
While they're a different developer entirely, looking at this makes me wish I'd ditched the polite act and just torn into them. Why can't Sega make a real Sonic the Hedegehog game that isn't on the DS? Is it really that hard to give people what they want?

It's easier to hate than to think. Sonic isn't as great as he was before, no question, but there's plenty of good Sonic games right now and coming later. By all means, though, keep regurgitating the same tired bile instead of paying attention.
Things that are good - Sonic Riders, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sega Superstars Tennis (possibly my personal favorite), and Sonic and the Secret Rings. Sonic Unleash is looking interesting, and this Sonic and the Black Knight might turn out pretty decent as well. This endless stream of Sonic hate is utterly god-damn retarded.
What's actually happening is that you're complaining about waving your face in Sonic's dick. They'll never sell anything to me that I don't want to buy, and I can safely assume that holds true to you. Stop complaining about the existence of product you don't care about, is really all I'm saying here.
Sucks.
Sucks even more.
Is a Sonic game like Mario Tennis is a Mario game. It isn't.
Is the first step in the right direction but still very mediocre.
I think people care because Sega has consistently refused to make a modern console Sonic that plays similar to the Genesis titles. Instead, they keep on retreading the same ground that Sonic Adventure broke, and consistently and constantly refuse to fix the problems with 3D sonic that have existed since Sonic Jam. It's just aggravating to see them acting so stupid with their premier franchise.
Uh, he was parodying Hero's defense of Nintendo.
I disagree. I would kill for a straight clone of what they did with the first two Sonic Adventures with a comparable amount of polish. The fact is they've been desperately trying new things since then and fucking up the only 3D Sonic formula they ever got to work, and they've lost ground since then, not simply retread it.
That said, I'm very curious to see the Wii/PS2 Sonic Unleashed. Sega confirmed with us that these versions would indeed be a different game, albeit sharing certain concepts. With the Sonic Rush games being as good as they are, that team gets a lot more faith from me now than the one making the PS3/360 one.
Sonic is like Spongebob or M&Ms, a license that sells crap titles.
Sonic sucks. Always has always will.
that is the correct answer
This would work at parody if there was some level of similarity between the two subjects of Sonic and the Wii. There really isn't especially seeing as I was clear in my post on this thread that what I specifically wanted was a side-scrolling Sonic game on a console. Sonic Unleashed looks like it's going to be ok at best, and I don't know what the hell to make of Sonic Goes Medieval, of whatever it's called.
The other primary difference is that I just don't care about any of the Sonic games released since Sonic CD. I tried to like Sonic and the Secret Rings but the forward-scrolling and remote-shaking mechanics left me cold. This doesn't even begin to compare with the endless bile heaped on the Wii.
Also, Sega Superstars Tennis as a Sonic game? Sure, he's on the cover, but that's like calling Smash Bros. a Mario game.
James
The person being parodied isn't allowed to make a call on the quality of the parody, sorry. :(
WTF
Legend of Zelda game with SONIC, wtf.
Did Fox McCloud just get fat or is he now the CEO of something? His upwards, vacant stare is somewhere between "oh god, too much turkey" and "I'm on the cover of this magazine because I'm better than you."
see: cover of Star Fox SNES
And yes, he has Howard Lincoln's old job. And name.
Hopefully this means the return of Howard and Ness?
Hm, I never had a copy of the box so I guess I just didn't close enough before. He's really fat in that shot.
I'll bet he ate Falco. I would.
I give up.
So, Nintendo can't shit out a new Zelda game fast enough so they contracted SEGA to do a game that shows off the WiiMotionPlus capability, as they need a huge brand to tow their ship in? Huh.
See also: Castlevania.
Cross-reference with: bitching over Mega Man 9. Though I SUPPOSE since it's OLD GRAPHICS, Mega Man 9 doesn't matter.
Why doesn't anyone understand that the people want art and sidescrolling? Oh shit, wait, Castle Crashers is coming out. Fucking sweet.
Or until Braid is released.
What, does Blaz Blue not count?
Castle Crashers is coming to XBLA
For real, we're all going to play it while you struggle through WoW.
Fat Princess is the PSN one.
Seriously, the genre of Castle Crashers was my fav. of the arcade game scene, only this one's got RPG elements so I mean, win win win?
Oh whoops I meant Fat Princess, my bad.
PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN VIDEO GAMES THEY WANT AVATARS AND FAKE MUSIC GAMES
Wawt? If he's Howard Lincoln now, he ate Reggie Fils-aime, that's not a bad thing. His Howard and Nester would consist of being a boring old man telling Nester that Mario 64 will put all Nester's doubts about the N64 to rest. It's true! No matter how bad the line up, there's always Mario 64!
And Nester will say, "Dawg, that game sucks too."
P.S. Here's where the real Howard Phillips lives now: http://www.hpc123.com/
i want to play old video games.
I want your Mom.
i want my mom too... ): she has the little kitten that says peep peep.

Heh. Cute. Kinda adopted a kitten myself, found him at a truckstop in North Carolina; nothing but skin and bones when I found him, now he's fat, happy, and tearing shit up.
Ungrateful bastard cat...
I bet he ate Sonic the Hedgehog.
