Alright i'll stop...but I do like Dr. Robotnik and Badniks better than Eggman and Egg...bots?

Either way bring back animal-like robot enemies.

 

[OnPoint]

I'd like to try Needlemouse. Could be fun. We also know nothing about it yet. So yeah, it could be.

 

[Teknoman]

Oh and Doc used to have brown hair. Things change with time. No one complained when Nintendo stopped calling Bowser "King Koopa" after Mario bros 1 (or was that 3)?

I grew up with him being King Koopa, then half-way through they switched it to be just Bowser in America and Koopa in Japan.

The amount of pure sadness in this thread is stunning.

 

[HUELEN10]

Been avoiding to give any acknowledgment to your craptacular posts defending Sega up until now, but shut the fuck up with your japan-o-phile attachment to Eggman.

Us English speaking folk (the highly superior race) know him as the sinister Robotnik and it's a much more authoritative moniker than EGGman. That's just shitty translation/localization.

If i'm going to have a fat ginger as my enemy he's going to be known as Robotnik because that's what Sonic the Hedgehog in America told me as a child.

Wow, so many things wrong with that post.
1. Having a difference of opinion does not a "Craptacular" post make.
2. Japanophile? Hardly.
3. You have just implied that some races are superior to others, smooth move ex-lax, that's a big no-no.
4. Eggman is not shitty localization at all.
5. Believing game companies as a kid? If that were the case, you would still be calling Bowser "King Koopa". I didn't game as a child, so I have no comment on how accurate your statement is.

Wait, what? Sonic Chaos for Game Gear? That was a good game.

It was fun, but way too easy, short, and the level design really sucked. A shitty 2d game this makes.

Exactly! The correct name is the official localized title, as that is what their intended vision of the character is, and that's what they want portrayed. There is nothing wrong with Dr. Eggman.

 

[DigiMish]

And seriously - Dr. Robotnik, not this bullshit "egg man".

The amount of pure sadness in this thread is stunning.

It's the broken hearts man. It's like an abusive relationship, as mentioned before. No matter how many times we break it off with Sega, we always get a hopeful twinkle in our eyes, only to come crawling back for more emotional pain and suffering.

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

One more thing to look forward to in 2010. Hope it gets the megaman treatment but in HD current generation graphics. A game that plays as good as it looks.

I prefer Robotnik as that was what he was called in the US game manuals/comics but Eggman is fine too for the purists. Call him whatever but he's still that fat walrus moustache guy that looks like Jamie from Mythbusters. XD

If Sega releases a new 2d Sonic for the PS3/360 they're even bigger idiots that I imagined them to be

Why? BTW, you bring up a good point, this WILL NOT BE ON Wii!

 

[remz]

I liked it in SA where he was called Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. it was a nice compromise, I thought.

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah. Title should be changed to new HD 2D Sonic.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Eh? Just as easy as the other GG Sonic games. Pretty sure it was just as short too.

There was a see through crystal-like stage that had good level design. Can't remember it off the top of my head. Final stage was cool too.

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah i'll take that. Sonic makes fun of em calling him Eggman, but everyone else refers to em as Dr. Robotnik.

1. Implying my opinion of your opinions are wrong....
2. Going purely on the Material you provide me in your posts
3. Sarcasm. You missed it.
4. It's like a Mega Man boss Sega pulled out of the trash and flicked the dirt off of.
5. It's accurate and it was a bit of dry humor as well, but it was playing more to the sarcasm of American elitism I tried slipping in with the previous stab, but if you missed that, this would've washed over you as well.

meh.

Crystal-like maze? Are you sure you aren't talking about Sonic 2 8-bit? That was a fucking win game!

 

[Tiduz]

4. Sonic's Shitty Friends™ should be playable ala Sonic 3. I see no reason why they can't be at least in an Act Trial mode.

for the love of all that is holy god no.

they are what fucked up all the sonic games, SONIC ONLY.

use the other ones for retarded party games

 

[MisterHero]

Why? BTW, you bring up a good point, this WILL NOT BE ON Wii!

Or they can make a non-HD version?

But yeah he does say it will have HD graphics.

:/

 

[Unicorn]

I will accept that. That was fine by me, it gave him a sort of depth I hadn't associated with him up until that point.

Last time I checked, no one was bitching about Tails and Rad Red being playable in Sonic 3.

 

[Youta Mottenai]

Sega will drop the ball (again) and we are going to be disappointed (again), aren´t we?

Spoiler

Please Sega don´t fuck up this time.

And it´s clearly Vector, with new cool headphones, on the logo. Are you guys blind or something?

Spoiler

jk

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Let's start with an only sonic game.

Then add tails knuckles in the second to boost those sales.

 

[Teknoman]

Last time I checked, no one was bitching about Tails and Rad Red being playable in Sonic 3.

Seriously. Playing as Knuckles and Tails were cool because you could play like Sonic, but access areas differently. NO ONE complained about his buddies until they started taking on totally different gameplay styles that werent fun...aka SA2.

 

[Ghost Leviathan]

What the hell do Sega have to do to please you guys? "To NeoGAF. In light of recent events we would like to announce that we at Sega are going to hire a legion of E3 booth babes to blow you."

Sega just announced the exact response to the game that was requested in every Sonic topic on this forum for the last three years; and you wankers respond with the same tired bullshit?

An honest effort to create a Sonic 4 that plays like the Genesis games announced on 9/9/09. I'm buying five fucking copies of this game and whatever console it's released on.

The trailer even has the old school Sega sound. Redemption.

 

[AwakenedCloud]

And seriously - Dr. Robotnik, not this bullshit "egg man".

I wouldn't mind if good side referred to him Eggman and his allies called him Robotnik (SA1?), but I agree completely - Robotnik is much more suiting to his character. Next people are going to ask for Pokemon names not to be localized.

 

[Teknoman]

Seriously. Playing as Knuckles and Tails were cool because you could play like Sonic, but access areas differently. NO ONE complained about his buddies until they started taking on totally different gameplay styles that werent fun...aka SA2.

I'd even wind it back to SA1. Knuckles and Big (as awesome as Big is) had soem of the most bizarre out of place gameplay segments ever. Most of the other characters at least sort of fit with the Sonic Vibe(TM) (Tails was about racing, Amy was about escaping that robo dude) but those two in particular were just fucked.

Exactly! Hell, I would love to see even more characters with slightly different gameplay ala Sonic 3. Variations are always fun.

If Dr. Robotnik isn't called Dr. Robotnik in this game, then it will be an epic faliure.

And I want Tails in the game.

Oh yeah Knuckles did have those emerald shard hunts in SA1 as well...

Also

was fun.

If all you shitty friends people are going to complain, at least do it right.

If Dr. Robotnik isn't called Dr. Robotnik in this game, then it will be an epic faliure.

And I want Tails in the game.

Better hope they dont spell it ROBOTONIC.

 

[TunaLover]

A new Sonic, cool.
I hope he got some friends, he's kinda lonely character.

 

[sjt333]

Watch it be Sonics son or a hedgehog from another universe that just happens to be blue.

You mean Sonic Adventure.

Big the Cat... seriously. That was the first sign...

 

[Teknoman]

From that really old E-sketch website topic. I am psychic.

 

[TheSonicRetard]

Oh yeah Knuckles did have those emerald shard hunts in SA1 as well...

Except they were infinitely shittier in Sonic Adventure 2 because

A) The levels were like 10 times bigger,

B) The radar in SA1 would pick up ANY shard near you, while in SA2 you have to pick them up in a specific order, and

C) They were just normal Sonic levels in SA1, hence there was still a good deal of structured platforming. In SA2, all of Knuckles' levels are big, unorganized piles of platforming gimmicks with no rhyme or reason

Knuckles was fine in SA1. They broke him in SA2. Those are my most hated stages the game by far.

 

[HUELEN10]

A new Sonic, cool.

I am all for new characters, as long as they have their place and don't end up sucking like the proverbial fan character...

 

[remz]

I actually really hated Sonic 2 With Knuckles at the time and I have no idea why, going back and playing it again recently it's actually pretty cool playing S2 that way.

Lock on was so fucking awesome though

I agree with this, the space levels in SA2 are the most ridiculous BS ever. Although I still think SA1 is part of the problem.

 

[Josh7289]

BBBEEEELLLLIIIIEEEVVVEEEE!!!!!!

 

[Teknoman]

You mean Sonic Adventure.

Big the Cat... seriously. That was the first sign...

As long as they let you play as Super Sonic in normal stages, and give you an extra Super Sonic boss stage after unlocking...i'll be happy. Hated SA for starting that trend.

Well guys, I won't be needing the ole porn folder tonight. This video was all I needed.

G'night everybody!

 

[TheSonicRetard]

Big the Cat... seriously. That was the first sign...

Except Big the cat is pretty fucking alright, and he only got hate AFTER the flood of characters. The people who hate Big the Cat are probably the same people who hate the fishing mini-game in OoT. It might not be the style you like, but it's not shitty. It's actually a well done fishing mini-game.

 

[Megadragon15]

Sega will probably mess it up and it will be Sonic the Werehog in 2D because, apparently, werewolves are cool to 13 year olds (the target demographic).

 

[Sean]

Tails and Knuckles are totally fine, I wouldn't mind playing as them, but all of the other characters have been mostly shit with totally different gameplay styles. Tails and Knuckles played pretty much like Sonic except with a hover/glide ability.
