and the fact Sega develops Sonic games to cater to those probably have something to do with why Sonic went so far downhill.
The original games were designed in that the first play through of the game was more like a traditional platformer - slow and methodical, then the more you played, the more comfy you were with the stage and had enemy placements memorized so you could just breeze through like a badass through your own skill and his speed made it look so much more impressive. You had to earn your speed through practice Now most everyone will start a Sonic game for the first time, run really fast and then rage because an enemy got in their way and took their rings (I was guilty of this too). I actually see this as the fault of both parties (players and modern sonic devs) - players because they don't know they need to memorize/master a level before they can really breeze through. But the devs too by catering to speed first by putting large empty areas with easily avoidable enemies and the obstacles so few and far between that it really can seem unfair Just my two cents

This thread is dumb, the joy of the original Sonics were blasting through levels. Not stopping every 10 seconds to do awkward platforming.
Sonic is at its worst when its slow.

You are meant to be methodical, yes, but you're not meant to be slow about it. You CAN be slow about it, though, which is the appeal of the old games. They had tons of branching paths, and many opportunities for creative and interesting speedy platforming. The problem with modern Sonic is that, pretty much, they don't really have much in the way of real platforming at all and no branching paths. Sonic is supposed to be about speedy platforming. Sonic isn't supposed to be about going in a straight line with slight twists every now and then really fast.

Sonic 1,2, 3 & Knuckles weren't really about picking up the game for the first time ever and trying to run as fast as you could.

I disagree. Classic sonic games made it really easy to fly through the first couple levels, and each level after wards became more and more platform focused. The same can be said of sonic adventure. This is the formula that works best imo, but deviation is not always a bad thing. Take sonic adventure 2, which let you breeze through pretty much all the sonic/shadow levels. Still lots of fun...

2 had a lot of speedy level design
it was considerably more open and less restrictive than the level design of fsonic 1 3 & knuckles was still pretty impressively speedy, with much cooler spectacles sonic adventure has a mix of speed and platforming but the platforming is clunky due to the controls and general sloppiness of the game even some of the fast segments suffer from instability (most notably the round tubes in lost world and how sonic refuses to go straight in windy valley's skies) sonci adventure 2 is just s***ty copypaste level design with homing attack chains in place of platforming and the speed isn't even particularly thrilling, though there's more in-your-face action segments like the truck chase and the end of metal harbor 3 & knuckles did the speed-and-platforming mix the best and it had an absolute f***ton of secret shortcuts and small bonuses to find rush adventure and the ds version of colors are the only pure "gotta go fast" games that felt like they had any real substance

@Custode_de_Pace It's Sonic. You want us to stop every five seconds to check out the level and everything it uas to offer. Your post is dumb as dirt. And wrong. It's all about trying to get through it as fast as you can, regardless of whether or not it's your first time. Subsequent playthroughs are where you experiment with branching paths to try and make your time faster.

I'd love to hear them, if you don't mind my asking. i just don't like the level design there's a lot of stop-and-go platforming over bottomless pits and cheap s*** like running right into a wall with a block right above you that's gonna immediately squish you there's some boring enemy combat sections and autoscroller parts are too common it just doesn't feel as good as rush adventure does, and i don't think the sailing stuff is even that bad (it's probably the best "side gameplay" the series has had since it's completely inoffensive instead of just being annoying) |

The whole game was marketed as going fast though. It's not people's fault for thinking the point of sonic is go fast. Heck, just stop controlling sonic for a second and watch him impatiently tap his foot. He wants to go fast .

@Custode_de_Pace Yep, it is. Which is why when they force you to go slow, the game quality drops immensely, and why the slow levels are always remembered as the worst levels in the franchise. If not at least trying to go fast, you're playing it wrong.

Sonic is supposed to be about dealing with level design shifts/changes that impact player/character speed and dealing with those shifts quickly. It's not about "gotta go fast" in the sense that that's not what the level design is about (simply running around really really fast). The player goal as far as time is concerned is a different matter, obviously. But, really, even the latter isn't really "gotta go fast" but rather more "gotta react quickly" and to do that requires training memory and muscle memory. In that way, it condenses Sega's reflex reaction arcade game design pedigree into the form of a console platformer.

old-new72 posted...@Custode_de_Pace That's never really been necessarily true in he series. There are quite a few slower paced levels in the 8-bit Sonic platformers that are quite fondly remembered. And no one ever really ranked something like Marble Hill in Genesis Sonic 1 as among the worst of the bunch in the series. Unless they were of the sort of thinking that "run, run, run" is the name of the game. |

https://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/194365-bleed-2/reviews/163822Sonic is always about going fast. What the hell is the point of exploring? The f*** you gonna find? Rings? Extra lives? The games pretty damn easy and all the rings you need are basically on the main path. No, you find faster routes...That's why you explore. So you go fast next time. The games entirely marketed on going fast. It's sonic's entire thing.
So basically, TC is entirely right about this in the body of this topic, speed is the reward in sonic and not about empty areas, but I'd say the title is off base - it was always about going fast. They just made the games a lot easier so you don't have to practice. I don't think they listened to people who just wanted to go fast, they listened to people who didn't want to practice levels to go fast.
I think some of the later sonic games do this fine anyway, though, and are still fun, so it's whatever to me.'Come fight beside me,' I said to myself, and although it doesn't make sense, I held my own hand as a small sign of trust, and together I made my defense.Custode_de_Pace posted...old-new72 posted...
