Yes, Sonic characters look really strange on all DLC (Theme Hospital and all other games) :oops:
And the "mascot costume" :ROFLMAO:

Over Generations? I’m not knocking your choice I liked both. It is good more people will get to play Colors.
Yeah, I liked the power ups in Colors and Generations is more of a greatest hits album than a truly original game. I do love it, though.

Yeah... no thanks. I like a good Sonic game like everyone else but I'm fed up with remakes and remasters.

I thought this game looked pretty good on the Wii back then. I played Generations on the series x and its gorgeous though.

Hopefully the new mainline game is a return to form.

I think they were on a really good run with Colors, Generations, and Lost World. You could see the growing pains with Secret Rings, Black Knight, and Unleashed that led to the polished experiences of the latter three games.

But then Forces sucked so hard. Glad they went back to the drawing board instead of following it up with more of the same.

The peak of Sonic came out close to 30 years ago.

Anyone else remember the hype of Sonic Adventure with the Dreamcast? That seemed like the future.
Just because we're not getting something as good as Sonic 2 again doesn't mean it's all bad. I'd rather we had Sonic Colors and Sonic Mania than not, even if we had to put up with Sonic '06 and Shadow the Edgelord to get them.

The Sonic Advance games were pretty good, from what I remember
In general, all the 2D platformer games in the series have been good.

Obviously the core four Genesis platformers plus Sonic CD and Chaotix. The 8-bit Game Gear/Master System games are well-regarded if unspectacular. Sonic Pocket Adventure, Sonic Advance 1-3, Sonic Rush 1 and 2, Sonic Colors DS, Sonic Generations 3DS, and Sonic Mania are all solid to great. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was a pretty big disappointment (Episode II was way better than Episode I but by then nobody cared) but I cant think of any 2D platformers in the series that are outright bad.

It's the 3D platformers and spin-offs that have destroyed the reputation of the series. Even those have more good games than bad, but the bad games are so spectacularly bad that they poison everyone's perception of the series at large. Sonic '06, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Forces, Sonic Shuffle, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Free Riders, not one but THREE games based on the shitty cartoon Sonic Boom, shitty remakes and ports, etc.

Hardcore Sonic fans are possibly the worst fans of anything ever. They are legitimately frightening.

I'd be interested in a minimally branded G-Shock...
