Sonic the Hedgehog: 2D or 3D — Which is Better?

— Nintendo Enthusiast

Sonic Team has officially confirmed that its next Sonic game will be coming sometime next year, with a formal reveal set to take place in a month. One popular discussion that always seems to come up between members of the fandom is whether the blue hedgehog should continue speeding along in the world of 3D, or bring it back to the basics of 2D. As we await the reveal of the new Sonic game, what are you hoping it's going to be: a 2D retro-revival, or a speedy 3D adventure?

They all suck now but the only good games are the early 2d ones...

Sonic fans are happy to buy whatever trash has his face and name on it anyway so its all moot.

Sonic Lost World was a GREAT FORMULA BUILD OFF THAT

Sonic adventure was amazing and a great direction to take the series in. Its a shame they never really fully realized the potential of the franchise imo. I'd love to see an absolutely mind bogglingly fast 3d game something very close over the shoulder camera(think velocibox or burnout paradise), Less of an emphasis of complex platforming, I want huge open zones that lead to large areas that have multiple paths, lessen the dynamic camera effects(at times it was a little disorienting), give me 2 playable characters(sonic and knuckles) a fast and punishing combat system that is fully fleshed out and does not break the pacing of each level. Since sonic isn't known for his fighting skills i'd like to see a minimalist approach that is sleek, almost cinematic(think naruto, asuras wrath and dbz combined). I want to see some kicks, some flips, some spin attacks, give me the ability to run in circles and create a tornado, and allows me to seamlessly transition from a combat mode to travel mode. I want collectibles that are both cosmetic and effect gameplay, super shoes, gauntlets, chaos emeralds, etc. I want animated cutscenes with an engaging story that makes sense. New game + where i can play as super sonic, hyper sonic, darkspine sonic, metal sonic, shadow, I also want a return of the chao as a minigame with crossplay on the vita give me in game rewards for properly managing my little chao ranch. Give us an experience that is truly an evolution of sonic in a positive way. Obviously my ideas are just absurd and way off from where the series has originated but i just dont get why its taken so long and will probably take longer for a game that really leads speed running games and evolves the genre. I want sonic to return and surpass his former glory.

2D by far. Sonic Colors DS is probably the last game from the series I truly enjoyed. Only Sonic Adventure series was much good for the true 3D games.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma27d ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay27d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

gigoran827d ago

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger27d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2327d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.
