Be Right Back, Uninstalling

Long rumored, it's finally been announced as a high quality throwback to the games of old, done in downloadable Episodic format set to be released this summer on three of the main systems.

Don't understand the episodic thing, but cautious optimism (very cautious)

Though this cycle is broken by them purposefully coming out to say Sonic is the only character in it lol Tails would've been acceptable, but that's it.

But all the "new fans" will bawwww endlessly about a lack of all the secondary characters and then they'll fuck it all up

When I was a kid, I thought the coolest thing in the world was the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge that you could put Sonic 1, 2, or 3 into the top of on the Genesis.



I just haven’t had fun with many of the sequels after that. Maybe I’m just old.

No they just made really shitty games


Good Sonic Games:
Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic CD, Spinball

Bad Sonic Games:
Everything Else


Good Mario Games:
Every main platformer

Bad Mario Games:
Some of the more hideous spinoffs


Good Metroid Games:
All of them

Bad Metroid Games:
There are no bad metroid games, such a thing does not exist


Good Zelda Games:
All the ones Nintendo did

Bad Zelda Games:
CDi (Not made by Nintendo)


You don't outgrow a series, the only thing that can happen is that it can start sucking. If this turns out to actually be good and in the spirit of the old genesis games, I'll gladly buy it just like I did Megaman 9.

Doubtful. Notice they aren't using pixels, it's digital distribution, and it's episodic. Polygons can't capture the same feeling the old Sonic sprites had, digital distribution they don't have any faith in selling it for $60-$40, and episodic means if the first one sells they'll keep pumping out "episodes" and milk it for as long as possible before people stop buying it.

This whole thing is set up to be an utter disappointment.

I've said it before. What they need to do is recreate Sonic 3 & Knuckles in either a 2.5D system or HD sprites. It's the best game of the series. I don't see why they haven't cashed in on the whole "Recreate in HD" trend. It's one game I'd gladly drop $10 on an updated version.

Anyways.. I have some hope left. Sure, Sega's shattered my heart on multiple occasions, and the fact that this is episodic means there might be a story, and sonic + story never amounts to anything good... but even though it's dim, there lies but a single light in the vast sea of darkness, and it's shining as bright as it can.

Don't screw up again sega. :'(

That or I just need my Sega back. Liquid do you still have it?

I'm not a huge sonic fan (never made it past eggman on the Labyrinth zone), but I'm certain they'll fuck it all up.

Yeah, I've got to admit that I have virtually no faith in Sega anymore. They'll find a way to mess up REAL bad.

At least if it sucks, your only paying like 10 bucks or less for this game instead of 60 bucks for a full length game.  If you hate the first one, then you don't need to buy the second episode

Even if it's good, they'll end up fucking it up with an awful release schedule.

HOT DAMN! We got leaked footage.
