>open world

one snakey snake is not gonna be happy if this is true.
You’re right. I’m not happy. In fact if this leak is true then I’m FURIOUS! We have plenty of open world games not everything needs to go open world especially Sonic! Sonic is about going fast! How can you go fast in an open world! You can’t! Sonic unleashed proved that exploration for little bobbles does not pair well with speed at all! God damn it why is everyone going open world! I hate this so much! This leak better be fake because if it’s not you’ll never hear the end of it from me!

Real talk, IDK why some are bummed about Rangers, I actually think it sounds pretty cool lol.

Then again, my standards for Sonic are low, so. :4wario2:
I think it is cool, too. In fact, almost all Sonic fans on this site I have seen are on board and liking what they hear.

Besides, I am sure 4Chan or whatever hates Sonic, and the person who posted those leaks was just trying to make it look bad, and even if he wasn't, it is still early in development, and it is his opinion.

Going through some data stuff relating to the teaser, the new Sonic game might be called

Sonic Rangers

There was a problem fetching the tweet

But there's more stuff
To add further fuel to the fire there's this post from January:
There was a problem fetching the tweet
And there's another post in the chain

Cyberspace makes sense given the 2022 part was all cyber-like and Sonic's boost looked the part too, the initial post got the title right and we saw something that looked like how the spincycle was described

I really need to see this in motion but...
man
Wasnt expecting NTom64's name to come up anywhere near here.

tbh, I like the direction the leaks seem to imply the new Sonic game is going. I'm gonna wait until we see trailer footage to fully develop an opinion on all this info. You never know with leaks, this one could still be fake.

I sitll don't understand why you have such a huge hate boner for the mere concept of open worlds.

Everyone talking about Sonic and I just watched the Horizon State of Play.


**** I think games are looking a bit too realistic here. Environments is fine but character models are getting real uncanny valley.

Calm down before you pop a blood vessel there.

I think the idea is something for the new Sonic game.

"This leak better be fake because if it’s not you’ll never hear the end of it from me!"

I'll consider myself to put you on ignore when that happens.

Did you PLAY unleashed?
No :191:
Did you PLAY unleashed? Did you see how tedious it was to collect those sun and moon medals? Level design conducive to going fast is not also conducive to exploring for little Nick nacks.
That may be so, but just cuz they did it weird before doesn’t mean they can’t try again and possibly get it right Y’know?

I’m not saying you have to like it, but I’m more open minded about a shake up to the modern Sonic formula because the last boost game was really really bland.

Sonic's always been a series where you can explore and/or go fast
Getting the Chaos Emeralds has frequently entailed looking around for secret areas, especially in the 2d games

all this talk about sonic reminds me that I've been meaning to dust off the old ds and play the Sonic DS Collection I have laying around.

I've never finished any of the 3 original games, better late than never.

Yeah. And the chaos emeralds have always been optional in the games where they aren’t given to you by the story. You can still just go from a to b and ignore them and still beat the game. But if the game is all open world and all about exploring then it can’t very well be optional can it?

I have a few other concerns with Rangers (length and size of map compared to your speed), but we don't even know if the leaks are true so it's probably best to just wait for gameplay.

Doesn't Sega have a slot at E3 this year? Maybe we'll see more there

Oh, come on, Snake! I am sure Sonic can work in an open world. There are plenty of open world Sonic games, and fans liked or loved them.
Like what? There was a hub in Adventure but it was tiny and the levels were still linear unless you were playing as knuckles (my least favorite play style in those games). Adventure 2 was the same except the hub was a menu. I’ve never played Heroes or Shadow. 06 was just bad. Colors and on had nothing of the sort. And Unleashed again had linear levels and hub worlds which most people I’ve spoken to might as well have not even been there (and I agree, they neither add nor take away anything from the experience). So....
