I mean both are good...right? Right?
Thoughts on Modern and Classic Sonic?
Throw it all in the comments below! See you all soon! ~
*Both are so good. And also are good.*
It is remembering that neither 2D or 3D are limited to how they’ve been used. 2D can have a more in depth story and 3D can be more simplistic, straightforward and consistent in gameplay
I respect you're opinion but I feel like is mostly the other way around, 2D is more consistent in gameplay meanwhile 3D can be a better story.
For most franchises that isn't Sonic? Yeah absolutely.
Sonic however is built the same way as a Mega Man game when it comes to 2D. Superstars proves that when it was trying to convey a story in the level design.
3D Sonic has more leeway because there's more to the adventure in a different plane of existence and with Sonic's track record with 3D: the dude was practically a shounen MC for a GOOD while.
This is why I like having both at the same time, and very glad that we got both back to back annually. They both have their own perks, so why only have one? The whole classic vs modern debate Unleash started last year was more of "I want more modern" and less "f classic". If we keep it like this, then there will be less of a need for this debate. Both sides are happy.
I don't mind both but I also want more 2D and 3D action where we see a 3D Classic Sonic game and a Modern 2D Sonic game. Switch the roles up from time to time and experiment. Doesn't hurt since I mean look at how Frontiers has been doing for a whole year
@@Brianycus that would be awsome! Imagine having a completed Sonic Utopia and a finished Sonic vs Darkness.
Something like that for sure!@@sikosonix901
The problem with that statement is that both sides clearly aren't happy. And despite the fact that Modern and Classic are now apparently two separate things, Sega seem to mix and match whenever they feel like it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it seems pretty bizarre to me is that the one "rule" that Sega won't break these days is "Sonic characters with coloured irises can't be in entirely 2D games anymore!" It's just setting unnecessary limitations on these games, especially considering the fact that fans want to see characters like Shadow in a new 2D game. If this divide didn't exist, and Superstars used the Modern character designs, then Shadow could be in it, no problem!
@@bowmaj8666 he is coming to Superstars though, so clearly there are some exceptions to this so called "rule". It would be better if it just dissappeared though. Generations is a great game, but gave us 2 tropes that have hindered the franchise a lot.
*However, I think that the Classic one is superior to the Modern one, both because it is more mature and serious, whereas the Modern one is merciless and arrogant.*
Modern and classic sonic are the same Sonic it’s just their design that’s different
True but one has a more outward appearance, making it seem like he's a completely different character
wanna know what would be cool?
best of both worlds, use classic sonic gameplay and modern sonic storytelling, mix it up in a blender, go wild
i don't like the decision to completely separate classic and modern sonic both as entities and as storytelling devices and it sincerely restricts what they can do with both
i want to see shadow in a 2d game and trip in a 3d game guys! c'mon!
This. This is what we need
THANK YOU!!! I have been saying this for years, but I always find these Classic purists going "But you can't get rid of Classic Sonic! Why would you get rid of Classic Sonic! You can't have a 2D game without Classic Sonic!"
Despite the fact that games like the Advance series and Rush games exist, but they apparently "don't count" because Sonic has green eyes in them. *Facepalm*
Iizuka has said Classic games like Mania are mostly played by kids. He also said Superstars is made for kids while Frontiers is for older.
"Modern" Sega cannot make a proper Classic game. They cant even remake Unleashed
I think the reason I enjoy modern sonic us you can do bit more in those games then the classic one like I was hype superstar but lost my when came out
Modern Sonic definitely has a lot more of a personality into him compared to Classic Sonic for sure
I disagree. Classic Sonic if implemented well can do more. Sonic 1-3, and Sonic CD run on the same/similar Classic engine but plays entirely differently. Because there are so many more ways to spin a physics based platformer.
Sonic Superstars doesnt really take much advantage of that. But every level in Sonic 2 and 3 play entirely different. While every Unleashed and Rush level plays identical
@@BrianycusThats Modern Classic Sonic. OG Classic Sonic was portrayed to have the attitude in most depictions, even the Sonic OVA.
I'd say Sonic Adventure 1 is practically Classic Sonic.
@@quickup7530 well i don’t care I was mainly talking about myself how i enjoy the sonic games
Sonic Superstars plays like a Classic Sonic game. It has the Classic Sonic formula. Therefore it is Classic Sonic.
@@quickup7530
I Like 2D more And I like 3d more to I can't decide
Me too. They are so much fun to play
I have no idea what you're talking about I hate Sonic!
True!
I prefer the physics based system of Classic Sonic. Or as Sonic Adventure 1.
Pass that "Modern Sonic" games have little focus on the momentum based physics platformer that is Classic Sonic. And Sonic Superstars isnt a real classic
Superstars is a Classic Sonic game.
Classic sonic is my goat . But morden sonic has a cool design . But classic sonic design is clean . But both are 🐐
Both are GOATs
Fr tho i respect both designs but if I had to choose, then honestly Modern Sonic just cuz I grew up with him. Sorry for a long essay but I want to give more of an explanation. I do love 90s Classic Sonic for the games (Except CD), tv shows (Except Underground), and basically putting the franchise on the map for being the 2nd most popular platformer icons. However the reason why I like Modern Sonic more despite his games being more flawed compared to the Classics is that the current Classic Sonic is honestly boring imo. Even tho the Classic gensis and Mania are fun, still thxs to Superstars (Haven't even bought it), im bored of the Classic formula. Honestly i was hoping for a 2d Modern Sonic game since that would Sonic Team's chance to experiment more with Sonic's movesets, more cast being characters, story, gimmicks, etc. But instead Superstars exist and while I'll give points for the game having all original zones and emerald powers, still the gameplay wasn't as exciting as Mania. I watch Sam's Procrastinates vid with Supergirlkels and i think both said it best. Mania's marketing felt it the team wanted views to know that Mania will be a love letter to the Classic games while Superstars just felt like Sega wanted folks to know that even tho the Mania team is gone, hey at least we didn't f up the Classic physics. Superstars is cool but i would have been more hyped for a 2d Modern Sonic game over Classic and i hope they do that in the future.
Another problem I have with Classic Sonic is that ever since Gens, Sonic Team would just make him be the cute little hedgehog thxs to the short quills n light blue look and being muted. Classic Sonic just looks like the little brother to Modern Sonic and honestly I think Sega/Sonic Team done him dirty. I get that they want Modern Sonic design to be their main cool mascot, but Classic Sonic could still be cool if they just made is design cooler. Not only that, but also give him cool noises and expressions too so that folks can get more of a cool personality of him. Before folks say Classic Sonic doesn't talk in the games, remember CD when Sonic killed himself if u let him stand there for 10 mins? Plus while not canon, Sega gave out 3 tv shows for Classic Sonic and they allowed him to talk back then cuz they want to give off his personality. Plus without Adventure of Sonic influence of chilli dogs, Sega/Sonic Team probably wouldn't give Game Sonic his favorite food. Plus in Gens, hope come Classic Tails can talk but mute for Classic Sonic? Oh wait I know cuz original the team was supposed to get a voice actor for him and it would have been the return of 90s voice actor Jaleel White. However since he was busy and couldn't make it, then Sonic Team decided to just make him mute which kinda sucks cuz maybe giving him a voice for Gens probably would have gave him a cool personality and could have continue it for Forces n then on. Not saying Classic Sonic needs voice acting for future Classic titles, but giving him cool n fun little noises like Mario could have gave him a better personality rather than just cute bland little mascot.
Lastly, instead of the light blue look and short quills, I wish they took the Toei Sonic look with darker blue so that he could be as cool as Modern Sonic. The Mania intro honestly captured Classic Sonic's cool personality the closest and that's thxs to the devs basing that design from CD. While I'll still prefer Modern Sonic, still if they done all of that plus experiment more for the Classic formula, then I honestly I would be hype for a new Classic Sonic game as much as I did for a new Modern Sonic game.
Thats not a problem with Classic Sonic. Thats a problem with Modern Sega/Sonic Team handling Classic Sonic. I could just as easily take Sonic Forces and say, "thats why boost gameplay is a problem." But it was done well in other games.
The original Sonic Team members and level designers left Sega on a bad note. I dont like Mania as much as the actual Classics, but the Mania devs had a bad falling out with Sega and thats how we got Sonic Superstars(Balan Wonderland devs.)
IMO Sonic Adventure 1 is Classic Sonic in 3D. Now if Sega made Sonic Adventure 3 today, it would be subpar. But its unfair to use the failings of Modern Sega against what was good from other devs.
A Sonic Unleashed 2 would be much worse than the 2008 version as well
@@quickup7530 Ya pretty much my point with how Sega/Sonic Team have done Classic dirty. Not saying Sega/Sonic Team should kill off Classic Sonic and the formula, just improve upon it along with updating Classic Sonic n gang's look and personality so that it would be more cooler. As for the whole Superstars deal n Sega's past f ups, ya ik Sega has a history with screwing over other partners and thats mostly because through the 2010s, they didn't think Sonic was valuable enough as their mascot since he wasn't that big for the public. Hence why throughout Gens to Forces, they played it safe by reusing stuff that worked in the past. However thxs to the Sonic Movies being a big success, I think Sega might actually change as Sonic Team has stated that they will bring in new more devs on board and Sega giving more budget to not only Sonic Team but other ips too as shown through their future plans update.
@@quickup7530 If it was mid 2010s Sega/Sonic Team, i agree that they would screw up Unleashed 2, but 2020s Sega/Sonic Team, not really since Sega now has confident in Sonic and wants to improve their team. So who knows, maybe they could do a good Unleashed 2 or Adventure 3. Depends if Sega don't screw the new talented devs over and actually show that they change by giving the new team the budget n time they need to make a good triple A Sonic game
Sonic man from 06 is better than Modern n Classic Sonic.
why not both.
True!
Modern Sonic is the reason the franchise has a bad name. All the classic games are good aside from a few questionable spin-off titles.
No. The direction they took with Modern Sonic post Unleashed is what made the franchise bad for a bit. Now it's getting better thanks to Frontiers and Sonic x Shadow Generations
Modern sonic poop classic sonic super good
Both are cool but classic is better
