DAT KNUX

Sakura Leic · **Reply #801 on:** February 06, 2014, 08:32:07 PM

Well the game play looks good and we finally are able to play as characters other than Sonic though....dat Knux....don't know what to think about him.

Also the music is atrocious, seriously the one thing SEGA should never [tornado fang] up is the music. Heck that's the only good thing about Sonic 06.

Gameplay looks tight, but the character designs... did they really need to change the characters up like that?

Quickman · **Reply #803 on:** February 06, 2014, 10:13:21 PM

Amy's hips won't unsway. Can't wait to see her triumphant return to Escher Girls.

And Knuckles... back away from the steroids.

Phi · **Reply #804 on:** February 06, 2014, 10:45:00 PM

WOW [tornado fang]ing DUBSTEP. SONIC TOTALLY NEEDS THAT.

Also, Knux looks ridiculous and there's absolutely no reason to change their character designs.

I expect broken, glitchy gameplay.

It's a Sonic game, so that's a guarantee. We'll just have to see what magnitude of glitchiness we get.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #808 on:** February 07, 2014, 01:45:40 AM

I am excited to play as a competent Amy again, I miss swinging a hammer around. And of course Tails and Knuckles as well in a non gimmick gameplay style, though I will miss treasure hunting.

Satoryu · **Reply #809 on:** February 07, 2014, 02:37:57 AM

I was gonna say as long as there aren't fake ring bombs and invisibility it would be an improvement. But Sega can easily find a new way to screw them up.

irgpie · **Reply #810 on:** February 07, 2014, 02:48:51 AM

Sega, or at least Sonic Team, aren't even making this one. It is a spin-off after all. The Wii U version is being made entirely by "Big Red Button Entertainment" which have no prior games under their belt, but apparently their company is largely made of ex-Naughty Dog staff. The inevitable handheld version meanwhile is being done Sanzaru Games whom made the most recent Sly Cooper. Make of that what you will because I ain't played it or any old ND titles. Also the Wii U one in particular is using CryEngine3 if that means anything.

Naughty Dog made some really good games like Crash and Jak and Daxter in the past, that gives me some interest in the Wii U version.

The Jak series hasn't aged gracefully, as I came to realize after playing the HD Collection. I'd imagine Crash hasn't aged well, either. So, I don't hold high expectations for this.

I would like to say I have faith, since ND created the Uncharted series, but that's a completely different genre and atmosphere from this game.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I have to disagree with that, I can still play Crash 1-3 and still appreciate what they did for their time. As for Jak and Daxter I just have a love for the world the creators spun from their loveable characters to it's great sense of humor. Gameplay of both games is quite solid too, not without their issues but that can be said of any game.

Jak 3 is still one of my favorite games. Can't beat that atmosphere in the later half of the story.

Phi · **Reply #816 on:** February 07, 2014, 05:03:44 AM

Don't get me wrong, I love the humor and atmosphere of the Jak games. I'm a fan.

But personally, I can't get into the gameplay as much as I used to back on PS2. That's just my opinion. It's certainly playable, but not quite as exciting as before.

Also, I'll have to disagree that every game has gameplay issues. The way I see it, it depends on the player and the game they're playing.

Unless the game is just plain terrible, then there's that.

Fair enough, I admit the GTA style open world Jak 2 and 3 used hasn't aged that well and still are kind of an odd design choice.

What I mean by issues though is every game has it's flaws no matter how well made it is, there is always something the creators will miss or some minor or major misstep in design, like you said though it's more obvious in some games than others.

Well the last Sly game and the HD collection were rather decent for what they were, and they aren't dimps so okay.

Out of the redesigns... Amy's is good but the others aren't so, Knux is the worst, because holy [tornado fang] that head on that body just doesn't work.

Oh yeah also the [tornado fang]ing sports tape fetish has to go. Everybody looks like they got into a serious [tornado fang]ing accident or burned their hands.

Flame · **Reply #819 on:** February 07, 2014, 06:45:41 AM

I kinda like Knux's design. It works, what with him being the power type all the time. he's also the only one i'm alright with having bandages/sports tape, because ok, ok, fighter, punching things, replace the boxing mitts with tape, alright i'll buy it. I can imagine a Knuckles like that playing like the werehog did in Unleashed.

Sonic is the worst for me. I don't mind the blue arms, i don't mind the scarf, (though it feels out of place, could prolly be another color that complements the blue, like an actual bright red instead of that brownish [parasitic bomb])

his legs are actually LONGER, which was already an issue with the design since 06, and the bandages have got to go on him. That [parasitic bomb]'s stupid

Eggman's redesign... Well, I'ts not bad, he gives me an old fashioned villain vibe with that jacket. But it seems he's a member of the same gym Knuckles has been lifting at, because not only is he no longer egg shaped at all, but he's buff and top heavy. He looks like the guy from Despicable me as far as body shape now.

Police Girl · **Reply #820 on:** February 07, 2014, 06:48:16 AM

I'm glad they didn't go the stupid route and make these designs the only ones that'll be in use. Sonic Boom and the tie-in game will be a side thing so we'll still have the normal designs.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #821 on:** February 07, 2014, 06:52:33 AM

Dear Sega,

Please don't [tornado fang] up Sonic soundtracks with dubstep.

Way past cool,

Quickman · **Reply #822 on:** February 07, 2014, 07:01:50 AM

They've taken iconic and simple designs and made them needlessly complicated. The only thing I like about them are the faces.

Yeah, the tape thing is the main issue, its like a belts n' zippers deal.

Phi · **Reply #824 on:** February 07, 2014, 07:08:16 AM

You know, besides the bandage/tape [parasitic bomb], I do like Tails' design. It fits him.

It's everyone else that bothers me.

Except not quite as bad as the belts/zippers thing. Nomura went [tornado fang]ing overboard with that.

Donald's HAT has zippers.
