Because they were paid by Nintendo? Isn't that what just about every exclusivity deal comes down to? Lol

Sincere01214659d ago

and it'll play best on wii u.

dcj05244659d ago

everything plays best on PC.

KonsoruMasuta4659d ago

@dcj

Let's be real. There are some multi platform games that are horribly optimized for PC.

Ex: GTA IV.

DonFreezer4659d ago

He explains it because there are some people from the Sony community who think that games are being payed by Microsoft and Nintendo and given for free out of good will to Sony.

Misaka_x_Touma4658d ago

not with Nintendo.
That only Platinum Games.

Nintendo work with Developers.

Sonic does best on Nintendo sales and quality wise that a fact.

biglittlesps4659d ago (Edited 4659d ago )

everything gets pirated on PC and developers lose so much money if they develop AAA games only for PC.

Also they can't take risks on creating new AAA IP because of this. So, buy consoles and support developers and expect new AAA titles with risks being taken from them.

FlyingFoxy4659d ago (Edited 4659d ago )

Wrong, you speak complete BS sorry. Pirating on consoles is rampant, look at the DS. and soon with the Gateway flashcard, the 3DS will end up the same.

PC games CAN be easily pirated, BUT.. there are Steam sales which contradict what you say, games sell a shit ton on there. Besides, i always buy my PC games for one reason : great multiplayer, and you can't play that if you pirate a game so it makes a huge and fun part of it worthless.

Besides there are no subscription costs on PC and the games are cheaper, one big perk to owning a mid/high end gaming computer.

thezeldadoth4659d ago

this game looks awesome. I love the approach nintendo is taking this year with games. Their games will definitely stand out from the typical polygon pushing third person shooters that will take up most of the fall.

Misaka_x_Touma4658d ago

Considering
Dr. Eggman two sidekicks from Colors are back
Same styled Cutscens as Colors
Only on Nintendo Wii U and 3DS as Wii and DS for Colors
Both are from Sonic Team and Dimps
Colors powers are back and more of them
and last much more Colorful than Colors.

Sonic Game Writers Had ‘Very Little Say’ On Story Scripts

The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.

-Foxtrot856d ago

They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.

phoenixwing855d ago

My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.

DarXyde854d ago

Performative for optics, I would think.

It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)

Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.

Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?

It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.

XiNatsuDragnel856d ago

Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr

Profchaos855d ago

Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending

How Sonic Lost World Paved the Way for Sonic Frontiers

While a number of the games before it help influence Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Lost World acts as the blueprint for the game's open-zone design.

Top 10 Worst Sonic Games

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I’m a huge fan of the series and love to talk about its best games… but its hard to argue that it’s all been great for the blue blur. From games that were loaded with glitches, slow-paced gameplay, and visuals that look more like a blue blur of… pixels and polygons. So, take this as a warning to avoid these 10 worst Sonic games of all time."

Never played any of these on this list, surprised Sonic R isn't there, but then i played that on my first PC and didn't think it was that bad, got some mild enjoyment out of it at least.

-Hermit-1718d ago

Lost World, Black Knight, Forces and Chronicles should not be on that list, I can easily think of worse.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Eraser, Sonic R, these are all way worse than the games on this list. Knuckles Chaotix was terrible as well, I hated the way you had to control the players, it was a pain in the ass. Even games like Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball and Rivals 1 and 2 which I thought were decent were worse than some of the games on this list.

To be brutally honest, most of the Game Gear and Master System Sonic games are pretty awful too. Sonic Chaos on the Game Gear for example, you can't even see what you are doing because the field of view is so bad.

I would rather play Sonic 06 than any of the games I listed above, and that game is classed as the worst Sonic game of the lot.

People have nostalgia glasses on when they think about old 2D Sonic games. Outside of the mainline games on the Mega Drive, most of them were worse than the modern day 3D games.

Rebel_Scum1718d ago

Sonic 1 & 2 on the MS2 and GG were great games. Perfect blend of speed, secrets and challenge.

Sonic Chaos was shite. Too easy and gross looking sprites and backgrounds.

imo 1-10 for worst Sonic games would just be all the 3D one's and Sonic Fighters.

lellkay1718d ago (Edited 1718d ago )

There is definitely some worse games than Lost World,

The guy who wrote this definitely didn't dig enough into the franchise history haha

Pyrofire951718d ago

General question.
Is your favorite Sonic game the first one you played?
If not, is you favorite the same style as your first? (3D, 2D, some other distinction?)

lellkay1718d ago

My favorite game is not the first one I played. (First one I played was Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis)

My favorite one is probably 3&K or Mania, so yes it is in the same style as the first game I played.

-Hermit-1717d ago

My favourite Sonic game is not the first one I played or same style.

The first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive, my favourite is Sonic Adventure 2.

DFresh1717d ago

I disagree with Sonic Forces on that list but the others are correct.
Sonic Forces is hella under rated.
