Title: retro redux?
Post by: Belmontzar on Oct 14 2010, 04:14 AM
AS im sure all of you have noticed, with the new sonic games, Metroid Other M, and many other classic franchises comming back the classic way of gaming seems to be making a partial return.   Sonic 4 s seeing a fulll reload of classic sonic 2d gaming whle other M and Colors semm to be a perfect blend of teh two.   :busy:   I honestly like how things are looking so far.. the fusions of 2 and 3d gaming actually looks thought out.. and it shows that teh companies haven't forgotten who it was that made them famous.   While teh compilations would make that last statement obviouse.. im sure many of you guys know what I actually and seriously mean here.  2.5D gaming, with today's hardware and graphics.. so many possibilities.. now let see what they do next^^.

What are all of your thoughts on the topics Im talkign about?   Are you also glad to see 2+3D or do you guys have better opinions?   Keeping in mnd.  I have only watched LEts play and commercials..   I can only go by what I have seen..
Has Retro classic gaming returned?   Or should it have stayed retro?

they need to dig out the dev kits for past consoles and start developing on them again, distributing the finished products on the download stores or something

they did that exactly with the fantasy zone 2 remake, it was developed on real sega system 16 arcade hardware.
however impractical it may be in some cases, more people should follow suit and go the extra mile for that authentic retro feeling, to actually develop within the limits of the hardware, rather than try to fake an old console like what was done with megaman 9 and 10.

I agree here, I mean look at how amazing games were in the day, they almsot alwayspushed the limits of the system, and now. you need to wait till a system is about to die before you get those OMG That is awesoem! game set.  However, I honestly do like seeing the retro returns, but what i they remade the retro, in a retro style?  I mean lets be honest here, if you heard of a new super sega sonic game, that had its old graphics, only it was much much bigger, maybe had more characters, and dozens of levels, you woudl go for it right?   teh exampel is a sonic one.  Say teh game made was a continuing version of Sonic 1- knuckles.  Including cd probably.   with access to atleast, sonic, tails and knuckles.

Not exactly,  Though that mght be t anyway, I was lookign at stuff and realised that the old school sonic games were all teh same really but with small changes.
Sonic 1 introduced sonic
sonic two aded tails and gave teh spin dash along with an actual reason to collect the emeralds.
sonic cd gave teh one time only peel out (or as sonic comic calls it, teh figure 8 move)
sonic 3+knuckles gave tails the player skill of flying and sonic gained shield powers.  Knuckles was also added.
(might get these next ones wrong so let me know.)
sonic advance gave a special extra attack and rail grinding
sonic advance two (didn't notice anything different besides maybe amy?)
Sonic advance 3 gave tag team powers letting you make groups.
Sonic 4: the homing attack first in 2d.
((List is only for the2d platformers, I never played the PSP games. and Sonic battle doesn't really fit in.
But at its main core you can see the old sonic one stuff still there.

Hell if you wanted sonic 4 woudl be the same f you made sonic 16 bt again and just gve hm homing attack.

the other point of this topic is talkign about how new and old is combning now.  Such as in Metroid Other m and Sonic colors.  Which are giving a 2d-3d game fusion.
