/v/ - Video Games

This was already confirmed long ago, by the Deadpool director.

>>14364906

Strange, isn't it?

>>14364951

>Was /tv/ right all along? Capeshit is dying?

In what time frame? They're running out of ideas, but if C and D-list character films like Suicide Squad and Black Panther can still pull huge profits, then it'll still be five years at minimum, probably more, before we see it start to die.

Dear god just let the poor bastard rest SEGA, give him some time off while fucking fire all of Sonic Team while you're at it, because it's clear that those retards can't make a sonic game to save their LIVES and sort this shit out.

>Nintendo announced Mario Movie

>SEGA responds with Sonic movie

SEGA does what NintenDid already

>>14365040

Again, the Sonic movie was announced years ago. This isn't a recent development.

>>14365006

>those retards

Who "those retards" are is different every game, because Sonic Team is a revolving door that keeps getting the talent that it does have sniped by Nintendo.

>>14365040

Imagine a scenario where Mario movie turns out to be Treehouse-tier cancer, and the Sonic movie turns out to be a competently written family adventure film that's true to the series' tone and roots. The amount of salt would make everything related to video games on the internet unusable for weeks, including /v/.

We all know both movies are going to be the same Summer blockbuster stale as fuck normalfag b8 trash though

>>14365104

>the Sonic movie turns out to be a competently written family adventure film that's true to the series' tone and roots

Unfortunately, there's a very low chance of that happening, seeing as they confirmed it would have live action mixed with the cg.

FLYING BATTERY ZONE FUCKING SUCKS

SANDOPOLIS ZONE FUCKING SUCKS

If these two levels were totally fucking removed from sanic and knuckles 3 then I doubt anyone would seriously give a shit because they suck that fucking badly.

>>14365120

Sandopolis sucks, but, really, Flying Battery? It's one of the best zones in the game, and I'm not just saying that because of the music.

>>14365137

Flying battery is a slog through a bunch of bullshit.

>hurr better watch out for these flamethrower traps that you'd have to have precognition in order to see coming

>hurr know what makes sanic fun? proximity mines

>hurr spend 30 seconds riding up and down on a series of corkscrew elevators

>hurr wait for these spiked platforms to be attracted by a magnetic panel so they will move up and down and you can finally progress through the level

>hurr this platforming section will require you to slowly ride atop a shitty conveyor belt

>hurr muh death pits

>hurr muh passive boss fights where you do nothing but wait for the boss to defeat itself

Fuck these two zones, they're shitty failed gimmick zones that make replaying the second half of the game a chore. Sonic 3 is fucking golden without the second half.

>>14365198

>hurr better watch out for these flamethrower traps that you'd have to have precognition in order to see coming

Or decent reflexes.

>hurr know what makes sanic fun? proximity mines

You mean the ones placed in areas that you can easily run over before they even get close to exploding?

>hurr spend 30 seconds riding up and down on a series of corkscrew elevators

>hurr wait for these spiked platforms to be attracted by a magnetic panel so they will move up and down and you can finally progress through the level

>hurr this platforming section will require you to slowly ride atop a shitty conveyor belt

"Waahhh, why am I not going fast all the time?"

>hurr muh death pits

You mean a standard platforming obstacle that exists for two sections, at most, in the zone?

>hurr muh passive boss fights where you do nothing but wait for the boss to defeat itself

Better than the washing machine.

All I get out of your complaints is that you just suck at it and have a patience issue.

>>14365120

>I doubt anyone would seriously give a shit

I would give a shit, because Flying Battery is one of the best songs in the game, and the level isn't that bad, even though it's not one of the best. Sandopolis can suck a fat one. The music for both acts is uninteresting. Act 1 is boring to play, has a bland aesthetic, involves level hazards that slow you down and make you wait on nothing, and only has a mildly interesting boss concept as its single redeeming quality. Act 2 is tedious to play because it has some of the worst stage gimmicks in the game with the advancing wall of death sand, looping slides that are handled way worse than Ice Cap's, and constant babysitting of ghosts, all in the same act. Act 2's boss design is somewhat cool, but is yet another wall of death, and is a total pushover.

>>14365198

>Sonic 3 is fucking golden without the second half.

S3's stages are better overall, but can you really say that Marble Garden, Carnival Night, and Launch Base are as good as Mushroom Hill, Lava Reef, Sky Sanctuary or Death Egg/Doomsday? S3 is front-loaded and S&K is back-loaded.

>>14365511

going fast is the reward for being good at the game you stupid nigger, something you're clearly not

Reminder that Paramount is making movies for both Sonic and Mario.

Because fuck you, that's why.

>>14365669

nintendo/sega cinematic universe

super smash bros. movie coming as the avengers equivalent

>>14365755

>The game was designed around going fast

Typo correction, *wasn't*.

>>14365755

>>14365774

>The game wasn't designed around going fast, unless you were really good at it

>Being fast was never meant to be the default state of the player.

This. The "gotta go fast" meme is just that, a meme. Sadly, it seems that even Sonic Team thinks that's all Sonic boils down to, judging from what I've seen of Forces.

>>14365884

For forces, the donutsteel levels are the real fun. Also, the time trails challenges are what makes some of the levels more entertaining and require effort, though I imagine that has changed with Super Sonic being released.

The gotta go fast shit is important to Sonic but momentum manipulation is more important.

>>14365755

>The very first mines in the game are placed where you're guaranteed to run right over them, showing you what they are and how they work

I never said that I disliked them because I think they're an unpredictable environmental hazard. I said I don't like them, and I never explained why. Learn some fucking reading comprehension you nigger.

>every single flamethrower in the zone is placed so you'll see them well before you'll run into them

Bullshit. There are at least two flamethrowers that you'll run directly into if you're not moving at a snail's pace.

>The only obstacle that acts how you describe is a single spike ball that isn't under a magnetic ceiling

Yeah, that's right, and they're shit. If they're not deliberately in your way, they're impeding your progress. How about you explain why you think they're a worthwhile addition to the level?

>You are greatly exaggerating.

If you say so, faggot.

>muh game isn't designed around going fast

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT YOU FUCKING RETARD

You can't say

>hurr the going fast is the reward for being good at the game

in one breath and then shit out

<hurr the game wasn't designed around going fast

in the other. That's a gross contradiction that reveals that you know fuck all. Besides, way to miss my points. Nice how you don't address the substantive comments in regards certain elements of the game's levels and instead resort to the equivalent of "nuh uh" and "NO U". EAT A DICK YOU NIGGER

>What endless loops?

Go back and play the levels you're fervently defending before you regurgitate all over your keyboard. There are sections of the course that go on forever unless you exit them through the appropriate means. There is a sand slide that you must jump to in order to continue, for instance.

>Oh, wow, a few seconds, at most! The tedium.

>All of this shit you're complaining about pales in comparison to obstacles in Sonic 1.

Why are you bringing up Sonic 1 all of a sudden? That shit has no bearing on this game's faults aside from obvious comparisons you can draw between the two. Besides, the original point was that the fucking moving platforms and elevators that you have to stand on and move through only serve to reduce the amount of time you're moving through the course. You think those are worthwhile additions to the level? Why? They do nothing but waste time.

>At least the fake egg capsule doesn't take away control from you

Fuck off with that bullshit, I already conceded the point. The egg capsule is about as engaging as a fucking quick time event, so don't act like it's any better.

>Flying Battery's theme is one of the most remixed songs in Sonic history for a reason.

Seems like you're the one with shit taste. Have fun listening to your garbage.

>Oh yeah, remember all those blue spinning tops that didn't exist in the level? Remember the faces you never had to stop and destroy to open up a door?

While I admit that those things are a pain to deal with, they're not nearly as tedious as the bullshit you have to go through in Flying Battery, Sandopolis, and Lava Reef.

>>14366009

It's called having a conversation, friend. If you don't want to contribute to discussion of the game, then why don't you go jerk off to your waifu or some shit?

>>14366016

Its a pretty spergy convo, fam.

I'm enjoying it.

>>14365994

>I never said that I disliked them because I think they're an unpredictable environmental hazard.

For what other reason could you dislike them? They're such a non-obstacle that they're not even worth complaining about like they're some nuisance.

>I never explained why.

Lacking an argument isn't a defense of your other ones.

>There are at least two flamethrowers that you'll run directly into if you're not moving at a snail's pace.

Then point them out on the maps I helpfully provided.

>they're shit

I said "one" spike ball, you dingus.

>If they're not deliberately in your way, they're impeding your progress.

But they are deliberately in your way. How are they not?

>If you say so, faggot.

Considering I never had issues avoiding the level's obstacles, as a kid who could only occasionally rent the game, I'm pretty confident in my assessment.

>That's a gross contradiction that reveals that you know fuck all.

Fine, let me reword my statement so that your casual brain can comprehend it. Classic Sonic is designed so that you only go consistently fast when you've gotten good at it. The obstacles in every level are deliberately meant to break your flow and keep you from gaining speed, unless you have the skill to avoid them.

>There is a sand slide that you must jump to in order to continue, for instance.

No one was defending Sandopolis, you giant ignoramus. I already said Sandopolis sucked. This argument has only ever been about Flying Battery. Don't criticize me for supposedly missing points when you obviously can't read correctly.

>They do nothing but waste time.

Except both obstacles provide the risk of being crushed, and the chained platforms punish poor timing by falling down if you take too long.

>so don't act like it's any better.

It's better for the sole fact that there are no times where I might as well put down the controller and take a drink.

>they're not nearly as tedious as the bullshit you have to go through in Flying Battery, Sandopolis, and Lava Reef.

>Flying Battery

>Lava Reef

>tedious

Just admit you have ADHD, already.

>>14365994

>>14366044

You two: Stop fighting and tell me why Metal Sonic is the best character in the series.

>>14366052

His penis is always hard

>>14366052

He's a superbad guy. He also has a cool mechanical design.

>>14366052

He is just like Sonic but an awesome looking robot.

Thats really it.

>>14366050

>Upset about people repeating old news.

>Repeats something that's been stated multiple times in the same thread, starting with the first reply.

cum on step it up

>>14366052

His eyes look like they're just a computer monitor from the 80s.

>>14366115

Don't ignore me, faggot.

My orginial sonic charcter is som uch cooler and ebtter than sonic why isn he getinng a movie as well???

>>14365104

>the talent that it does have sniped by Nintendo.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

>>14366052

>>14366117

Metal Sonic is a good character because he's kinda like Dark Link; a worthy rival for the hero character but who, for one reason or another, has villainous motivations. So, you get your grandiose clashing of "good" and "evil" and on a level playing field.

>>14366061

>>14366065

>>14366084

>>14366096

>>14366106

>>14366131

All acceptable answers.

>>14366180

Cool engine with a staggering amount of playable characters, but really shit levels, and the dev keeps focusing on adding more characters and extraneous features, like chao garden, instead of improving the stages.

>>14366201

>direct link to resetera

What the fuck are you doing

>>14366101

Also, Sonic hasn't been that relevant compared to 10 years ago, let alone 20. It's destined to flop, unlike Mario. If VGChartz and Steamspy are to be believed, Sonic Forces didn't even get a million sales across all platforms (Mania is about 150k copies max). So I'm confident that the whole purpose of making a Sonic movie at all at this point is money laundering.

>'m all for never say never but I won't lie, I think it's looking bleak. That team has been hemoorrhaging talent for years and clearly still nothing has been done to satisfy them.

>For gods sake they stuck the director of Generations in the Olympic game hole too, while they let the lost world guy direct the next big game. I honestly think if we want a great Sonic game, we need another crew from Sega to tackle it, not Sonic Team.

>Sonic Team needs to go.

>>14366214

>>14366223

Especially considering just how much people were talking about Mania around its release. That game blew up more than I think anyone expected. Even game journalists who previously had been pushing the "Sonic was never good" narrative were saying it was great, even if it was through a bullshit "this is the first time Sonic has been good". It got a ton of positive attention.

>>14366223

My bad then, sorry. The point is - they don't sell as well as they used to be, and SEGA's gonna have a hard time selling tickets. Kids would rather prefer either Mario or their yearly Dreamworks/Pixar flick, and Sonic fans are, while not an endangered species yet, are now miniscule compared to other franchises.

>>14366195

>1. If you're going fast, you're going to end up at the far end, where the flames don't reach. If you're not going fast, you'll see the flame as you're going up and be able to time a jump off the ceiling to land on the plunger.

IS THAT OR IS THAT NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD NEED FOREKNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO AVOID?

You're talking shit now. You're doing the perpetual "nuh uh" so fuck you.

>You're going to be riding on the slow snakes, especially your first time through (unless you're an overconfident shithead who gets too cocky for his own good), which gives you plenty of time to see the flames.

They are hardly visible from your position beneath them, and it's possible that you can decide to jump up the platform during a period of animation in which the flames are not extended on either side of their "revolution". Point being, you're trying to suggest that new players can easily see them. Well, fuck you I disagree.

>3. The capsule and the enemies within it are going to cause you to slow down and see the flames. The only way you could be going too fast to avoid it is if you managed a perfect jump and avoided the capsule, but why would you do that, your first time around, when the earlier capsules you found released valuable rings?

The problem with this one is that the flames extend out towards you, and just like the previous example, it is possible to run into them as they appear on the screen. Yes, even if you're moving at a moderate pace. The only way you'll be able to avoid this is if you know it's there or if you're moving so slow that you can witness the flames appear. Just because you stopped to defeat the enemies doesn't mean that you're going to continue moving Sonic at a fucking walking speed

>Seriously, none of these are an avoidable obstacle your first time through, unless you're an impatient idiot who tried to go as fast as possible with no prior knowledge of the level's layout. Getting hit for that reason is a just punishment for being an overconfident idiot. As for your other boxes, I already detailed why those obstacles weren't useless.

EXCEPT WHEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS APPEAR AS IF OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE

>You're seriously just impatient […] Guess what? Sometimes, timing challenges in video games require you to wait for a safe moment. That's not bad design, as long as it isn't too long, and any problems you have with it are purely personal.

<as long as it's not too long

ARE YOU RETARDED

I specifically pointed out that the platforms take fucking forever to move. You really want me to boot up the fucking game and time them to prove a point? I'm not going to do that. In fact, why don't you go do that so you can continue to be so fucking dismissive you fucking shitbag.

>Do you actually think games should be so charitable to new players

My point in mentioning that is that the levels are not designed so that you can just move through them. They are designed to FUCK YOU. Don't make me repeat myself you shitbrain. You know exactly what I was trying to say, so fuck off.

>Which are still shorter than the time Sonic spends being carried around by the currents of Hydro City's mid-bos

Have fun with your shitty press right to dodge quick time event boss fight. It's so engaging

>Isn't that exactly what you said in that very post?

No, but I did say that, and I'm saying it now. Your opinion a shit.

>>14366261

>he's still bitching about how Sanic is too hard

That barrel part is still bullshit though. There's no physical reason why Sonic repeatedly looking up and ducking on it makes it move.

>>14366274

>too hard

It's not too hard. I never even suggested that. I just said it's bullshit that you need to repeatedly consume in order to gradually improve at. Is that not an accurate description of the game? I guess it's possible that autists who are so used to repetition can't actually recognize repetitious behavior when it's shoved in their face.

>>14366371

And fuck you, you hypocritical geezer.

>>14366377

>geezer

>hypocrite

I'm not either of those thing, though.

>>14366392

fucking flags. I'll have you know I meant every word of this

>>14366392

>I bet you liked it when they added these shitty fucking handles that forcefully stop your movement in the first outside platforming section of the Mania version because you can't look where you're fucking going

Eh. I don't have any strong opinion about that.

It will be made by Pedowood.

It will be shit.

>>14364940

Shit like The Bee Movie, Paul Blart et al are unintentional masterpieces, in part because they're so terrible that they spurred plenty of people to use them to mock entire communities using them and in part because, under the right circumstances, these movies do something that no other flick ever did despite being shit. I'd rather have their levels of bad than Pixels levels of bad.

>shitters are still whining about how bad they are at sonic

>>14364906

Paul Blart 3 will take place place in Washington DC with Blart going on vacation

With Blart being confused for a Secret Service agent looks exactly like him, but who gets injured and gets sent to the same hospital that Blart is at after slipping on banana peel because fat

Resulting in Blart inadvertently impersonating a Secret Service agent and protecting President not-Trump for several days

Which will end in a spoof of that Clint Eastwood movie where he takes a bullet for the president, but Blart takes a shoe for the president, and he ends up getting a presidential commendation

This is totally happening
