Sonic 3K has a better art style
Chaotix looks like a fever dream
I'm not gonna shit on you for having a differing opinion, but imo DEM COLORS
>I'm not gonna shit on you for having a differing opinion
No, no, go right ahead. This is a Sonic thread.
>visually prettiest 2D game
Why are sonicucks always so hyperbolic? Ever played any Arcade games?
>he seriously DOESN'T know
I fricking hate Chaotix, but Isolated Island remains one of my top 10 favorite Sonic zones
God damn is that game pretty
OST is amazing as well. Easily in the top 5 Genesis soundtracks.
>mfw Door Into Summer
Chaotix has the best use of percussion and FM
3D Blast has the best use of the PSG
And it's better than CD however that happened.
headdy is better
When I was a kid in middleschool my buddy gave me a bag of random Genesis titles, Dynamite Headdy was one of them. His dad got visually angry with him just gifting these to me-I don't know what his dad looked up on the internet but after that he was super nice to me. Like he sensed that my very own daddy would frequently hit mommy when nobody was around. That guy learned about modchips for PS1 and installed one on my friend's console. When they would burn an illegitimate copy of a game they'd give me the OG copy. They werre pretty cool.
Jordan I'm like 80& sure you're on here and I know you probably don't even remember me but I still feel the need to say it
POO POO PEE PEE CACA FART FART BUTT
I'M STILL UPSET OVER ME BREAKING THE WOODEN SWORD. PLEASE MAKE A WOW CHARACTER ON TBC CLASSIC'S "MANKRIK" SERVER AND WHISPER ME
hah someone gifted me Dynamite Headdy in bag a of Game Gear games
ALSO your mom's name is "Darlene" and your sister's name is "Jessica"
You're the only one I felt it necessary to contact
IF you play TBC classic, my character's name is "Dribi", I'd love to hear from my bestest bro
OH AND IM ON MANKRIK BTW
no way gay
Stop playing video games. Get a job and a real hobby.
gay
It is pronounced percent, not ampersand dummy.
>that boss with the castle in the background
such a good fricking boss
you can say that for alot of 32x games
I dont want to make a thread. What are some good 32x games?
Stellar Assault/Shadow Squadron is fun. It also has a top-tier soundtrack. I quite like Track 4 and 5
>utterly unplayable heap of trash
Hyperbole. Knuckles Chaotix is perfectly playable. It's just easy and not terribly interesting design-wise, but you could say the same thing about Kirby.
>you can say the same thing about a game literally designed to be toddler friendly
>about a game series that's biggest marketing ploy is that high schoolers and adults play it.
>about a game series that's biggest marketing ploy is that high schoolers and adults play it.
???
their biggest marketing ploy is that their character=fast, therefore console=fast
i mean sure, the main character might be a little snarkier than say, mario, but he's hardly trying to be le mature games for mature gamers at least until the adventure games, but i don't wanna summon that autist so i'll just leave it at that
either way the point is that marketing paints a moronic picture of the original series anyway
going fast rarely happened outside the first level of the original game, so my epilogue to this thesis is that you're tarded, good night
>going fast rarely happened outside the first level of the original game
It happens all the time if you don't suck
how weirdly ambitious it is in specific regards confirms to me that it was supposed to be sonic 4 at some point. not to mention what we already know about sonic and tails being in the beta
i have a theory that the og idea for the game would be sonic reuniting with his old bandmates inspired by that sonic 1 concept art which would explain vector's near-identical appearance. you could see how the other three could've been redesigned as the current chaotix
No, we know that it started out as a Sonic and Tails game for the Mega Drive, then they shifted over production to the 32X and decided to make it a spinoff without them since it was so different from regular Sonic games.
At first, they decided to create Espio and try to make him a new video game star for the 32X (his chameleon color changes serving to flex the color capabilities of the console), joined by a bunch of oddball characters like Mighty from the arcade Sonic game (also serving as an easy recolor of the Sonic sprites they had already put work into), Vector from early concept art and Charmy from the obscure Japanese Sonic manga, but then they decided to capitalize on Knuckles' popularity after S3K and make him the star of the game.
Did they really think it wasn't super distracting that Mighty has a 16 bit sprite and everyone else is 32 bits.
He definitely looks out of place but I always pick him anyway because I love Mighty
I like it. It's not the best game ever but it's also not the worst game ever.
It's extremely playable if you take a whole 5 seconds to learn the controls.
The levels however are trash that were not designed well for what they made.
I think the level design is a lot better than Sonic CD and a lot of people seem toike that game. The levels in Chaotix are designed in a way to take advantage of the rope system, similar to how in CD they're designed to take advantage of the time travel mechanic.
I never felt that way personally. I get the rope mechanics perfectly and really like it with the shit you can pull off, but the levels just dont feel like they do much to make use of the mechanics offered. The dude above who mentioned kirby is actually kinda on point, i don't think the levels in those games make good use of the moves you have.
Like yeah there are mandatory sections where you need to use the abilities and i like shit like vectors air dash, but a lot of the time it feels like you are just cheesing the stage design rather then needing to figure out how to use your abilities to properly play them + speed focused sonic level design where probably a slower progression would have made for more interesting or something (though the rubberbanding to build up speed is fun)
Knuckles' Choatix is an okay game. Bouncing around is kinda fun. The problem is that the level design is basically nothing, it's really empty and there's no real sense of escalation, hazards, enemies, or platforming.
This, it's good to play for like a few levels but once the fun of the rubber band physics wears off it gets boring fast because every level is just a similar empty area you have to get to the end of with nothing to make it interesting. And then there's Amazing Arena which makes me want to rip my hair out
what? that game looks ok at best
It was really ahead of its time.
It being too much work and space to create new level assets so now we've gotta come up with a way to recycle the same ones as much as possible is really more of a modern sonic issue than a classic one.
>Level 4 twice
Wow you can tell how hard they worked on this game
>moron that hasn't played the game sees "level 4" twice and thinks he knows what's going on
the game's progression system was a little strange and unconventional.
I'd like to see someone hack the game to have straightforward level progression.
And better stage layouts.
Maybe some better stage hazards and enemies.
And get rid of the combi-ring.
Oh for frick's sake Sega, just commission Whitehead to rebuild Chaotix from the ground up, shit's embarrassing.
And then make Amy playable, lol.
And Tails, for that matter. It's incredible how the only progress ever made on Chaotix hacking in decades is to replace Mighty's sprites with Sonic's. It seems like one should be able to put Tails' sprites from Crackers in Wechnia's spot and give him Charmy's flight abilities if restoring the ones for him from the prototype is too hard.
>tfw love everything about Chaotix aside from the actual gameplay/level design
Same here
I wish it had more time in the oven. Graphically it's beautiful, the soundtrack is amazing, I love the concept of a sanic platformer with the tether gimmick. But the stages are empty tech demos. They just needed more time to actually do something with the mechanics and make proper levels to suit them.
Honestly, I didn’t have many issues with it, but I also played an absolute ton of Umihara Kawase so slingshot physics are second nature to me. I wonder if people have so many gripes because they are trying to play it like a traditional sonic title
The level design is total ass.
I agree, but I feel like the sling shotting is fun enough and the game is pretty enough that I can overlook some lackluster levels.
They should have made the rope mechanic optional. This was supposed to be the flagship 32x game and they turned a proven money printing formula into a painful slog.
