The character designs are so much better than the modern game character designs...

I unironically agree, and I was around way back when the Sonic fanbase were shitting on the whole green eyes fiasco of Sonic 4.
Movie Sonic just hits right. It naisl thr spirit of the character.

most sonic games are, contrary to popular opinion, fun
just pick one that looks cool and play it

For classic, Sonic 2, 3&K, or Mania are great places to start. Basic and fun.

The two Sonic Adventures games are essential and what most of the "lore" takes from. A Dreamcast emulator has you covered for the first game but I would recommend playing the second one on Steam. They're not perfect games but they're charming as all hell and a great time overall.

All it took was removing Big-Head mode and making their hands and feet not hilariously big

Don't listen to these faggots telling you to skip Sonic 1. It's still an incredibly polished platformer that is worth playing. It stands out from the rest of the franchise because the spectacle started to become a bigger focus starting from 2 and on.

>Sonic CD is fantasic.
I realize you have nostalgia for it, but don't straight up lie to him, you fuck.
Sonic 2 and 3 are good for anyone to enjoy. CD requires nostalgia to enjoy which he obviously won't have.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a lot more fun than Sonic the Hedgehog 1

nta but first time i played sonic cd was 2019 and i really enjoyed it, its different from all the classics but its still a good time. very atmospheric and has some great music as well

SoJ is a blight and they will never adapt them out of spite. Enjoy your awful Bootleg School Mascot Looney Tune Sonic that can't emote or open his mouth without looking like a complete freak because he isn't going anywhere

Shouldnt you be in jail Ms Chandler

play all the mainline games. Literally none of us can tell you what you'd end up liking because all of the games are so different. You may even end up liking the shitty ones. There's a reason why the Sonic fanbase was so horrificially divided (and we still kind of are to this day) because so many mainline games and even side games were so radically different because Sonic Team back then never wanted to do the same thing even if the thing before it was a success. So yeah just play all the mainline games. Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, Adventure, Adventure 2, Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06, Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Lost World, Mania, and Forces. You can try the side games like the Advance trilogy or the Rush games or even the Rivals and Riders games if you want. I cannot stress how different all of these games are from quality and to outright design. It's insane how many of us are still here after all that shit.

>Sonic 2 and 3 are good for anyone to enjoy. CD requires nostalgia to enjoy which he obviously won't have.
What the fuck? Nobody played CD when it came out. If anything, 2 is the nostalgia game.

I also forgot to mention Sonic CD. Play that too.

I bought sonic 06 on release week when I was 9 and even then I knew that the game was a pile of shit. Some of the games are just objectively bad. Dont act like there are people who unironically love that game. (But it does have a lot of ironic fans who have grown to love it for how broken it is)

>Dont act like there are people who unironically love that game.
There are I swear on my fucking life I'm not making that up. I'm not talking about fan remakes either I'm talking about the original game there are actually people that do love that game as hard as that is to believe

Please note that if anyone who honestly thinks this should proceed to kill themselves on the spot. Movie Sonic is better than trailer movie Sonic, but no way on gods green earth is that shit better than the games. None of the characters are better in the movie than in the game.

Rouge was.

if they're going to adapt SA2's story how the fuck are they gonna retcon rouge being a gun agent

I think they'll just have to explain it in the Knuckles TV show

Sonic having a fuzzy chest, blue arms and normal eyes with a cute patch of white between them is the best possible thing for his design. Everything else is just minor non-changes like his hands, feet and head being smaller.

This. These models especially with the shitty snl style presentation is nauseating, and get rid of RCS. He’s so ass.

Ignoring the fact that the movie characters are more expressive and better animated than their game counterparts, movie Sonic's proportions are definitely better than game Sonic's. Same goes for movie Knuckles.
That's the one thing Sonic Team should adapt from the movie design. Maybe take movie Sonic's shoes too since they look cool.

Uhh... Roger already left, my dude.

Originally yes he did but he got the job back for Frontiers.

He came back.

>Sonic having all this unnecessary shit is the best for his design.
Hell no. Both Modern and Classic Sonic designs are perfect for the character. Movie Sonic looks like ass by comparison.

>more expressive and better animated
This an issue of Sega themselves. Sonic's normal design is infinitely more expressive depending on whether or not the person drawing it actually knows what they are doing or not.

>Sonic's proportions are definitely better than game Sonic's
They work better for a Sonic who is meant to exist in the real world. They look far worse for a Sonic who is meant to exist in a world full cartoon humans animals like Sonic normally does.

>Maybe take movie Sonic's shoes too since they look cool.
The shoes are the only thing that movie Sonic has on game Sonic.

The only criticism I have for Sonic's movie design is that they should have made the white patch in between his eyes bigger/more noticeable to better emulate the "monoeye" look. It's so small in his actual design that it makes you wonder why they even bothered, which is a shame since the idea itself is a good compromise between giving him separate eyes and retaining a signature design element of the character.

if 06 didnt flop then all this time the games wouldve been using the 06 designs, but it did so it wasnt until boom and now the movies for sonics designs to proceed evolving

I hate how modern Sonic has a permanent ass crack on his face. It never looks good.

user, OG Sonic has no neck and his yaoi hands, feet and giant head stopped looking okay the moment he entered the Modern Era.

seething /sthg/zoid
the fuck off my board

everyday tails gets closer to being raped by Yea Forums

Nah they look like shit

it's not white retard the tan is just going up from his muzzle

>Sonic's normal design is infinitely more expressive
Game Sonic is honestly appears less expressive in general considering Sega mandates that he have furrowed brow constantly for some reason, not matter the expression. It's weird. The movie design (and the classic design, actually) don't have this problem.
>They work better for a Sonic who is meant to exist in the real world. They look far worse for a Sonic who is meant to exist in a world full cartoon humans animals like Sonic normally does.
They work better for both. Movie Sonic's proportions are more reasonable, not more realistic. Movie Sonic's limbs are also more cartoonishly tapered than in his game design anyway.
Additionally Tyson Hesse has talked about how game Sonic's proportions are very awkward (both in his limbs and face) which is reflected in the changes made for the movie design, and also makes him easier to animate. The same can be said for game Knuckles's design where his hands are laughably ginormous, whereas in the movie they've been shrunken down a bit and re-proportioned with the rest of his body.

>The same can be said for game Knuckles's design where his hands are laughably ginormous, whereas in the movie they've been shrunken down a bit and re-proportioned with the rest of his body.
Not to mention his flat ass skull was finally made round. It was about fuckin time.

He has both, hence why I think the inclusion of the white part feels pointless since you can barely tell it's there.

there is no "white part" user it's just tan

>furrowed brow constantly for some reason, not matter the expression
It's cuz outside the simplification of animation, wide-eye modern sonic would probably be horrifying.

Talking about the perpetual ass crack he has on his face user, not the general dip in his brow.

like at best the tan fades into the blue but there's no white fur

I wish he had a slightly longer neck so he's not just head and shoulders

well he had it in the first movie, so maybe they just removed it for the second
still should be present either way

>he had it in the first movie
no he didn't

They all look pretty hideous. Tails looked okay, but Sonic looks bad and Knuckles is just straight awful. Knuckles might look okay at first glance, but in motion he looks incredibly awkward. Especially when he faces the camera. His snout is too small, first and foremost but overall the movie-fied appearances just suck shit in every aspect.

There was zero reason they shouldn't just look like they did in the games. It's just the stigma that video games have as being for losers. There's a retarded, redundant obligation to separate their designs from the real designs.

It's no different from MCU garbage. Every other line in MCU movies is a retarded quip about characters having weird names or the original costumes looking silly, or some other form of "hahaha the source material is totally lame but it's okay to like it because it's ironic now hahaha awkwaaaaard."

Because despite the source material being successful, despite the source material's design having wide appeal, despite how hideous the "realistic" reimagining looks, they feel the need to redesign. To fix what isn't broken. Sonic already had a standard CG design. It was already successful and recognizable. Yet they needed to redesign him for the movies because...Because the old version was from a video game and video games are for losers. Sure, the new version is atrocious even after the revisions, but it was needed to let dipshits know:
>It's okay to like Sonic here because he's in a movie! See? He looks different. Video games are lame but movies are normal. See how the movie version looks different? It's okay to like him now. You won't be a loser now that he's in a movie.

The horrendous character designs were nothing but the result of complete dipshits thinking they needed to do all they can to separate a movie character from the less mainstream medium from which they originated.

This is how Sonic should look

without the highheels, maybe

Because they look like shit in the games and have since 1998.
>>It's okay to like Sonic here because he's in a movie! See? He looks different. Video games are lame but movies are normal. See how the movie version looks different? It's okay to like him now. You won't be a loser now that he's in a movie.
Schizoid behavior. Nobody would buy them as being tangible creatures in live-action if you just imported their video game models and gave them realistic fur.

lol, nah. Fuckin wobble-headed big ass cartoon Sonic wouldn't work at all in these movies. Can you imagine his giant no-texture head in between Cop and Wife saying "I love you guys" lmao fuck off. Designs are fire either way.

Are the adventure games any different versus their gamecube counterparts? I once saw a post saying the ports were shit but the dreamcast versions were good. I was going through adventure 1 and I thought while it was fun, it aged pretty badly and wasn't a good game.

>There was zero reason they shouldn't just look like they did in the games. It's just the stigma that video games have as being for losers. There's a retarded, redundant obligation to separate their designs from the real designs.
The movie designs aren't different enough to invoke this schizo-induced rant. You might have a point if the movie characters didn't walk around with giant mickey mouse gloves and colorful sneakers.

That still looks a million times better than the movie designs.
>Can you imagine his giant no-texture head in between Cop and Wife saying "I love you guys" lmao fuck off
No. You know why? Because Cop and Wife aren't fucking Sonic characters and have absolutely no reason to be in the fucking movies. Remember how characters like Mickey Mouse or Wile. E Coyote succeeded due to their live-action, human, parental figures? Yeah, neither do I you absolute fucking moron.

gamecube SA1 is slightly buggier and has some aesthetic changes in places
it's not so drastically different that that playing the dreamcast version will change your general thoughts on the game, though
both SA1 and 2 are pretty flawed from a design standpoint
