Title: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Master KChief on October 09, 2010, 09:07:41 AM
the next continuation of the classic sonic series is finally here...sonic 4!!! anyone else having fun with this extreme throwback to the glory days of classic high-speed, high-octane 2-d sidescrolling action? it just released for the ipod/iphone right now, but it looks and plays fantastic on it. cant wait until it comes to Xbox Live next week so i can play it in 1080p!

Sonic is pretty sweet.  I remember playing it on the original Genesis.  It's kinda still #2 to Mario though.

Sonic 4... ever?

Sonic Colors. Sounds and looks kinda stupid but NP rated it very highly.
Supposed to be appealing to younger ages but hard enough so older players can get into it.

Video games are a waste of time.

In the age of 3D, epic adventures and space aliens, they had to remake something from the 90's so there'd be a Sonic game someone liked?

yes. just like they made mega man 10. for those of us old enough that grew up with it. nostalgia ftw.

Still waiting for a new gladius. If you want to know what this is.....go look it up it's only the best game in the world, in my opinion of course.

On top of Sonic 4, they are also releasing Sonic Colors soon, which looks promising.

Something I've noticed about the good sonic games vs the bad ones.

Good sonic games focus purely on speed and platforming.
Bad sonic games focus too much on lame plots.

Also, how does Sega get away with such a blatant rip off of Dragonball Z?

I think the question you mean to ask is, how does Dragonball Z get away with clearly ripping off sega.
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on October 12, 2010, 03:46:52 PM
Dragonball was first printed 1984, Super Sonic never showed up until Sonic 2 in 1992.
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Master KChief on October 12, 2010, 03:58:12 PM
dragonball, not dragonball z. when did the first super saiyan show up?
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on October 12, 2010, 04:04:21 PM
After digging around, Super Saiyan first appeared on the TV show in 1991. I imagine it was even earlier in the comics.

Also, another reference to DBZ in sonic.... count the number of Chaos emeralds, and then count the number of Dragon Balls.
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Master KChief on October 12, 2010, 04:05:29 PM
since i imagine sonic 2 was still in development around that time, i gather its just mere coincidence.

edit: the manga version first came out in august 1991 as well.
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on October 12, 2010, 04:06:51 PM
Ah, apparently, it was 1990 that Super Saiyans first appeared in the comic.
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Master_Chi on October 13, 2010, 12:31:14 AM
Both of you are wrong. How can DBZ and Sonic BOTH get away with ripping off the hero of Children's Trading Cards?

There is a direct relationship between pointyness of hair and dueling abilities.

Do any of you even hold your card between your thumb and two fingers?  I noticed the characters on Bakugan do this also.  I guess it's too nerdy to have a show where the heroes fan out a collection of cards in their two hands.

Agreed. Dang, I want to go play it right now! Can haz Gladius for Wii or PC with online capabilities?

I sometimes do just for fun, lol. My wrist can't go back enough to make a 90 degree angle like theirs do, though.
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: SomeKittens on October 13, 2010, 01:17:28 PM
I usually hold a card between my pointer and middle in preparation to throw it at my opponent.
Title: Re: Finally after 16 years...
Post by: Red on October 13, 2010, 01:41:19 PM
If you look at VAH in the opening one of the two players holds a card like that.

I've thought about that many times. The sheer number of cards you can have on the field at once (unlimited, really) seems to hinder any sort of portable device such as a Duel Disk.

I play it on game cube which is a surprise to most people because game cube only has a couple good games. What do you mean by your question.

I just started playing it over the summer and i'm already on the third region. the best thing about this game unlike other games that its actually hard to win.
