Absolutely fantastic taste.

I think it's the latter, for some reason. He seems very eager to work whenever he gets offers. He even talked about how he would've loved to make some stuff for Splatoon.
I think he's working on Streets of Rage 4 right now.

I ordered this game and just started playing it on a Yea Forums recommendation and holy shit what a great Sonic game
>banging OST
>bosses that arent braindead easy and actually fairly challenging
>great level design

Im loving this game, how do Adventure and Colors compare? Im gonna need more Sonic DS after this

What kind of sane human would put the Blazy remix of Ska Cha Cha over the original?

the amount of pain in my finger from this.

I think it may be because of price, really.
I'm sure he's an important part of that scene of music and is willing to do music for folks, but the actual cost of a full Naganuma soundtrack might be prohibitive, maybe even the cost of a single song for indies.
Who knows for sure, though. I just figured it might be that way as sometimes you get these 'old guard' composers doing just 1-2 songs for recent games, but that could also just be because of things from money to not wanting to crowd out new talent.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Sonic rush has thee best video game ost imo. Best osts for a platformer.

Splatoon fits with his style so well, too. Just have to run the samples through the squid filter and boom, you have Splatoon 3's new main genre.

Well dang I guess I'm picking up SoR4, what does Naganuma actually do for a job? He doesn't really compose for many games, he does a few songs here and there but the last time he did a full soundtrack was like Sonic Rush.

I HEARD SOMEONE DISSED BLAZY MIX SKA CHA CHA IM FUMING RIGHT NOW

I wish there was any fresh talent to crowd out. Whenever I see any worthwhile music in a videogame, it's almost always made by someone working in the industry since the 90s. There are exceptions like Toby Fox, but they're rare and they never suffer from lack of attention, from what I've seen.

Bumping this

aight

It's been an obscene amount of time since I played Adventure but I remember liking it aside from the Jet ski sections. Colours DS (and Generations 3DS too I guess) is/are really, really good but they don't have Blaze so imo they aren't as good as Rush 1.

I always say this, the Sonic rush series of games used the boost formula the best

unironically the most fucking kino part of this entire fucking series. DS quality limitations make it even more soulful.

Attached: 1582081352908.jpg (211x374, 25K)

Because it was confined to 2D. The main problem with current boost games is that they just make the 3D sections (the stuff we're actually interested in) linear racetracks with a few reaction-based forks in the road while delegating actual platforming to 2D sections, which feels jarring and breaks the pace completely. Boost worked in Rush because it was a part of a complete playstyle, not a part of a half of a playstyle.

Adventure isn't as good as the first game IMO, but it's pretty close. I also like the unique elements it adds in like Sonic riding a jet ski to get from island to island.
Colors DS is like methadone for if you get Rush withdrawals. It's kinda like a Rush game, but they stripped out the trick system and you're generally forced to use the wisp powers. But they did add in the stomp from the 3D boost games, which is a cool addition.
I still need to check out Generations 3DS.

I liked some of the levels in adventure. It was a good follow up without being too far off the first release in terms of quality.

Island mix 3-4 are still the best

>decided to play SA2
>modded Blaze in
>switched the physics to SA1 Sonic

Getting all mecha characters to control like Gamma is a godsend too, it's way less clunkier and much faster overall. I can't imagine playing this game in any other way now.

Blaze is probably the best of the sonic characters introduced after the Genesis Era.

Well yeah, shes the only one designed to fit in a 2D platformer. All of sonics "friends" adventure era onward are designed for 3D enviroments and not speed. shes just a female anti-thesis to sonic with the same you can't beat me attitude 90's sonic had.

That's the magic of DFC.

I really like how well they made Blaze and Cream work so well together as actual friends and Cream being more of a lively character that brings Blaze even more out of her shell, considering she initially started off as being very reserved and strict towards herself.

I honestly don't have a issue with most Sonic characters, as long they don't wind up being too useless either for plot or as a playable character and there's always somehow a form to make a character work for the plot as long's the effort there. If a character is useless or a nuisance, it's only because the writers don't know how to make the most out of them.

I also enjoyed Cream for the most part as a playable character in the Advance series, even if she literally cheesed through most of the levels with barely any effort. It was a interesting spin on Tails' gimmick.

>No Rouge or Shadow.

>Wanting Shadow
He can go fuck himself, he's almost directly responsible for Knuckles being ruined.

Sonic Adventure 2 had the best aesthetic. Sonic just works in brightly lit urban environments.

Rouge is a good character, but probably doesn't belong in Sonic.

Rouge sucks, her gimmick is being a spy that she tells everyone, and the only reason people care about her is the porn. shes a reskin of knuckles who has nothing new or interesting to herself. Hell even 06 had trouble giving her anything that wasnt setting a bomb down.

Metal Sonic's design in the Dreamcast version of SA1 was the best one, and it sucks that no one even remembers its existence. I love the shinier, longer and edgier look.
You can argue for Rouge (she's like Knuckles, but with more gameplay possibilities), but Shadow is a meme at this point. They turned a good one-off character into a living Linkin Park album, using fucking guns and being an overall joke. Blaze is a better not-Sonic because she can actually be taken seriously, and she fits the series.

Honestly Shadow should be more or less treated like a joke in any game he appears in. Like Dark Pit in Kid Icarus.

Sonic Rush is the best Sonic game in the universe!

It's not Shadow's fault writers are too incompetent to make both friendly and aggresive rivals for Sonic

It's because friendly rivals are boring as shit, putting Knuckles into that position ruined him and then they made him into a retard.

Fix.

not surprising since she got two games heavily devoted to her character arc and she bounced off sonic really well.
and she really stands out as the only competent and nuanced female in the series

I'd say Heroes ruined him more than anything because they needed him to be on a team with Sonic the entire time, when his character would usually never do that. Heroes also ruined Shadow too (for a time), so tl;dr, fuck Heroes.

Problem is, rivals can't be rivals when there's no real conflict. They tried to push Knuckles as an aggressive rival in SA1, but they didn't want to turn him into a complete retard so he had to start working with Sonic. The same applies to Shadow, except they did turn him into a retard.

There's so many ways they could do it, though.
Sonic's this cunt who keeps strolling in and basically stole the chaos emerald from him, not to mention Knuckles was fucked over by having his super form taken away so the chaos and master emerald offer zero benefit to him.

Unironically
its unfortunate that theres no hope for competence in sonic's gameplay because playing as blaze again would be killer

Could you losers continue to post MORE Blaze the furry cat? Let's drop pretenses this is a furry Sonic girls thread.

>Sonic can't take anything seriously
>Tails is a whiny faggot
>Knuckles is a useless retard
>Amy is a bitch
>Shadow is cringe
>Rouge is just a pornstar
>Blaze is irrelevant
>Silver is pointless
who is getting ruined next?

I haven't been keeping up with IDW Sonic, is it good?

But Knuckles knows that Sonic's a good dood who doesn't want any trouble, and Knuckles is too chill to bother. So whenever problems arise, they can just talk it out. That's why he stopped being Sonic's rival since Sonic 3, there's no ground for the rivalry between them.
A good way to do it would be to play up their world views. That's what IDW's been doing with Shadow. Sonic trusts everybody, Shadow doesn't. So when Sonic's good nature bites him in the ass eventually, Shadow is always there to chastise him for it. They don't hate each other on a personal level, they just never agree with each other.
That's how Sega tried to push Knuckles back in SA1 days, with the whole "unlike Sonic I don't chuckle" stuff. But then Shadow just came and took that spot. Now Knuckles is just someone Sonic can call whenever they need help punching things really hard.

Arc wise is kind of meh, but character wise its phenomenal.

Infinite got ruined in his own game.

Eggman

Everyone except Sonic is pointless at this point, they're all just background crew for his and Eggman's antics.

well since you asked so nicely

>i really want to see what her hair looks like down in a game
I imagine it being like that pic. Her hair is fur, not spikes, so they would fall down naturally.

Awfully boring and trying to be like a dilated Archie Sonic as hard as possible. Opt for Archie and Fleetway instead.

Read better comics.

Most agree that it's the best part, actually.

I'm pretty sure they couldn't even hire Penders to write a short for a My Little Pony annual without Sega giving them the ultimatum of cutting ties with him or losing the Sonic license.

Penders please.

The Tangle and Whisper mini series is probably the best part of the IDW Sonic comics right now, but the last issue is not as good as the others.

No one wants to hire him for anything, dude loves to make music from what I gather but no one wants him.

He even applied to Nintendo to work on something and they just said "They have no projects where your skill would be used to the fullest" or something. Might be an outright lie because he'd work wonders on Splatoon, but whatever.

He's also having a weird phase where tons of memelords are making him into some weird family guy funny moments monster, and it's kinda sad but he's having fun with it so whatever. Hopefully he'll stop soon since it's annoying.

I doubt Naganuma would ask for some insane amount of pay to work on a game, he seems eager to work with anyone honestly, I imagine the indie's he puts music towards would rather make the music themselves than outsource it all to him.

I still have yet to finish it but it was interesting, more so than the main comic at the time
If nothing else, i'd check out the comics on readcomiconline or something before getting a tpb just to make sure you like it, as it can be pretty boring to some.
Yeah but I just want a confirmation.
Really, I just want to see more alternate outfits for characters, especially after seeing fanart outfits that look amazing. I just really like alternate outfits.
So many times in a show or game a character will show up in a get up even better than their main look just to throw it away quickly.

That's why Shadow needs to be killed off, permanently. The fact that Knuckles got displaced by a piece of shit Sonic recolour is fucking disgusting.

Amazing that a thread about good music and Sonic Rush started off so horribly, with people spending so much of this thread posting some of the worst tracks in the game, save for But aside from that one exception, look how long it took for anons to start posting good songs like Bomber Barbara, Metal Scratchin', and Ethno Circus. And just the fact that this thread didn't open with Wrapped in Black is a disgrace, let alone how long it took to actually get posted.
