"Boy I love the Renderware engine"

They thought the characters were more important than the quality of the game to the audience that buys these games. They were right.

Why have we been getting so many threads about this game recently?

>we need a baby game thats easy to port to multiple consoles

This game filters the Woajkian.

Sonic Heroes sold more than SA1/2?

When I was a child I loved flying. Sonic Heroes was great in that regard because flying felt "almost" great, except for the 2 dead weights that were always chained to you.
Accidentally I discovered that you could kill the Speed and Power characters in the multiplayer battle mode and play as only the Flight character.
I spent most of my playtime during that it was so much fun.

I remember enjoying this when I played it on GC. It’s not an amazing game buts it’s not shit either. It’s just ok. And there a lot of ok games that were still fun to play then. Before everyone just focused on aaa shit.

>Sonic Team
>Thinking

"Lets make a game that actually has the upper middle lower route system from the classics unlike Shitventure 1 and 2."

This is the first time they tried that "appeal to all fans of Sonic" angle thus barely pleasing anyone. That's why there are checkerboard hills and special stages mixed with Shadow and an edgy monster for a final boss. It's a fucking mess

I always felt flying was clunky as hell due to the horizontal momentum getting fucked

i liked the forest level with the frogs and stuff

The double dash demo disk had a glitch that let you play in first person mode.

It involved switching formations while using the look around camera. Eventually it would lock and you could run around and play the entire stage from 1st person perspective

>born in '97
>got this game as a kid for birthday
>remember specifically asking for sonic on ps2 despite never owning anything sega/sonic related beforehand
>not even toys or sonic merch
This still happens with kids today right? Why has sonic remained so fucking popular despite having barely any good games? I guess with the movies now it makes a bit more sense but for the longest time before that there was nothing unless you count the TV shows. Kids have little to no exposure to sonic and yet it remains one of their favorite characters from a young age.

its like the synthesis of all cringe millenial humor in one image

I feel like 3D Sonic tried to refine gameplay a lot. Like you have Sonic Adventure with six different characters with unique playstyles. Sonic Adventure 2 focuses that up into only three different playstyles, reusing them twice for two campaigns.

In theory I like the idea of trying to have all three playstyles at once that you can switch between. It feels like how DMC gave you access to all styles on the fly in later entries. But I really just don't like it. The execution is really bad and having essentially the same hybrid playstyle that you play four times with remixed levels really feels like they're trying hard to stretch this game out. I really would've rather them switch between characters like in Adventure 2 with every level.

Sonic movie came out a month ago and the Sonicfags have yet to disperse, plus zoomer nostalgia.

Sonic has an AMAZING design.

I mean to be fair, you can't blame us for being nostalgic for Sonic Kinos.

I'm actually really curious about this. I wonder if new fans are playing older games or just don't care that the newer games they encounter are just okay. Like it blows my mind that we've had two hit movies about Sonic and only now are we getting an actual game - and it's just a rerelease of older titles.

"hey what if we leveraged our huge cast of characters for a game where we made them all playable in some way"

>Zoomer doesn't realize there were multiple routes in Adventure 1 and 2.
Sorry but your babby's first video game isn't cool and will never be adored like Adventure 2 is.

Autism and furries, my dearest zoomer

I watched a 36 year old man stream this yesterday and it was the worst run through I’ve ever seen. I want to play it and see if its truly that bad but legit copies are rare and no emulators work on my toaster.

ok grandpa

Something I don't like about Sonic Heroes that I rarely see discussed is how this game really standardized the enemy designs. I think it was done to make it clearer how enemies behaved and which character needs to be used to defeat them. I really miss uniquely designed enemies for a zone. I really don't like just encountering crowds of enemies in my way every time I land from a ramp that I have to deal with or just ignore. They're never placed anywhere interesting, just annoying little arenas.

The team theme songs were pretty good, too.

Walking 5 feet around a rock to get a ring box does not count as multiple routes even if Adventure retards think it does.

>I obviously did not play Sonic Adventure 2 and am just butthurt that no one likes Heroes.

Tries to do way too fucking much for it's own good

Being WAY too generous with those rankings, Anonymous.
Literally only Sonic 3 & Knuckles is a "Must Play".
Sonic Adventure 2 is "worth trying", and the rest might as well be skipped or "can skip" unless you have severe autism or a hardon for the Sonic franchise.

Wrong

It's in C, second row first column, dumbo

MUWHAAHAHA! You fools must all have a death wish? Witness this invincible battleship built by the hands of a genius! It's power unmatched throughout the universe!

Please tell me there's a vocaroo of this

Those are all shit.
Sonic 1 2 3,+k, mania, and kind-of generations are the only good sonic games.
Unless you count the racing games, transformed is ok, and the newer team sonic is ok but did bad because CTR is better

Okay now this I can agree with.
What the FUCK were you thinking?
Do you also have Sonic the Hedgehog bedsheets and a Shadow the Hedgehog dildo or something?
Fucking freak.

>"Must Play" and "worth trying" mean different things
ok.

>Do you also have Sonic the Hedgehog bedsheets and a Shadow the Hedgehog dildo or something?
I have a Sonic T-shirt and a glass paperweight that looks sorta like a Chaos Emerald.

>Please teach me English. I can't afford schooling as a pajeet.
No thanks.

Do they not?
Must play means you need to play it to even be considered a fan presumably, worth trying means it's worth playing a level or two of.

I wish

Oneyplays

you will never be black, jewish, asian, mexican, trans, or a woman

Shut up classicpedo.
Don't you have a 300 paragraph essay on how Sonic can never work in 3D to make?

Sonic Heroes might be the most quotable game in the franchise

"Only four lasers? A hero's welcome!"
"One, two, three, Four laser cannons! We better watch out!"
"Even with four laser cannons that's still not enough to stop us!"

When will we get a 20 hour minimum Sonic game where Sonic tops Tails? It's what the fans have always wanted.

i dont hardly beat any games, so shove this undeserved superiority up your ass and try not to enjoy it too much, kay'

Render ware engine was soulful af

What? I got the game as a young teen when it was first released. Excitedly played through the whole game twice back then even though it was mediocre at best.
I remember exactly none of those quotes you just mentioned, so no i guess it's not the most quotable game in the franchise.
It never lived up to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

It could work but I could make(meaning think up overall design) a way better 3d sonic than has been made

WHATS GOES UP
MUST COME DOWN

Based.
Literally came here to post this, but all caps in a spoiler.
So LET ME SHOW YOU JUST-

Whatevs for me that games and it's quotes always come to mind especially Rail canyon

Those trains were horrifying with how fast they were if you didn't know it was coming your only split second warning is "LOOK OUT!" Bullet Station is such a sloge afterwards

Quotes being a memefest aside. The characters are fucking retarded, nobody can speak one sentence without saying the stupidest shit imaginable. Writing wise the game is akin to a Newgrounds satire of Sonic and NOT in a good way.

YET MY FEET DONT TOUCH THE GROUND
SEEING THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN
