Anyone else thinks this is strange?
« on: August 21, 2001, 09:05:15 PM »
First of all I\'m not sure if Sonic Adv. 2 is an exclusive to GC/DC but if it is why do Sega only release it up against Mario on the cube? It would be more reasonable to put it on PS2 and say, VF4 to the cube, since that one has to compete against Tekken4. I think it would be more money wise to release VF4 on the cube wich lacks a decent fighter (except SC2;)) and make the Sonic game for PS2 wich lacks good platform games.. (and really needs a \'mascot franchise\' (sp?) game)  Just my two cents tho\'...

It\'s all about who the developers think each console is targeted at.  Sonic will sell very well on the NGC because a lot of younger people will own a NGC.  VF4 will sell well on the PS2 because a lot of older people own a PS2.  I want a Sonic on the PS2, but the developers want money, and they think they will make more money if it is launched on the NGC.  I agree with them.

I also think that developers were not sure about the NGC at first.  They weren\'t sure who the target audience of it was going to be.  Now I think they are realizing that Nintendo is going back to targetting all ages, which is why we are seeing games like SC2 going to the NGC.

I have to agree with IronFist, Sonic is going to the NGC because Nintendo has always target younger people. But with the number of PS2 out there I think Sega will also release a PS2 version of it.

I wouldn\'t doubt a PS2 version to be announced at TGS, I also wouldn\'t doubt an Xbox version either.

Sonic Team can be quoted saying they want Sonic on all consoles.  Sega doesn\'t mean to isolate any games to just one audience.  I\'m sure we\'ll eventually see VF4 on GC and Xbox after the contract is up (and depending how well the game is received).  And I bet Phantasy Star Online will find itself on every platform also.

Sega Kicks Ass...now where is my NiGHTS 2?!?!?!?!

Mario on the Cube won\'t come out until sometime next year, my guess would be the Spring season. Sonic on the other hand is probably coming out before the year ends on NGC. It\'s officially listed as a playable game at SpaceWorld, it also only took Sonic Team a month to port over PSOV2 to NGC, I don\'t see why it can\'t be released by the end of the year or atleast sometimes in January. It\'s not going to have any competition from Mario, Sonic Team knows their respected franchise has nowhere near the fanbase of the Mario franchise.

Link for SA2 being playable at SpaecWorld. http://nintensity.com/news/gamecube.cgi?id=998450567

It wouldn\'t be more reasonable to put it on the PS2 because it\'s a game which is more popular and well known with the younger audience. Simple as that. Besides, GameCube just seems perfect for Sonic. Every Nintendo fan in existence knows about Sonic and now that they\'ll be able to play him on their console.

That wouldn\'t be as cool...since I know more older people own the PS2, as opposed to many children owning the original. I gave mine to my little cousin for his birthday and the first game he got was, you guessed it, Crash bandicoot...:rolleyes: I don\'t want PS2 to have a mascot...unless the mascot is really bad-a**...:D

Jak and Daxter will  blow SA2 clear out of the water IMO and it will be here for Christmas


Then there is insomniacs platformer which Sony is keeping on wraps for now.  Insomniac was the original makers of Spyro who has been bought out I do believe or liscensed as a 2nd party one or the other to provide exclusive content to the PS2


both games are newer and fresher then anything Sonic.

IMO The Cube can have SOnic


NOW if Sega would like to develope a completely new platformer then I say bring it to the PS2 but no Sonic ports thank you

just my Opinion so don\'t go off telling me how great you think SOnic is cause I liek Sonic but not that much

Now I know you said don\'t do it, but I have too.  

You can\'t compare Jak and Dexter to Sonic.  There is just no way.  

Sonic is all about speed, his levels are built to get a maximum speed and pull off combos.  Creating a high that Jak and Dexter simply will not match, and for good reason.

Jak and Dexter will be a pure platform game.  There will be timed jumps, puzzles, big levels that require alot of exploration (all that stuff that makes a platform game).  You would be better off comparing this game to Banjo-kazooie or even Mario.  But you simply can\'t compare anything to Sonic.  It\'s its\' own game.

By the way, there is no way a Sonic port could hurt.  The game is fantastic.

[slaps Ginko around some for insubordination]


:laughing:

I agree a port of Sonic to the PS2 wouldn\'t hurt nothing. I guess I prefer the ND Style of platform play over Sonic by a  margin


Just my personal preference.

but I honestly want Sega to make a new Plaformer/franchise. Something that is new and fresh and full of Sega\'s goodness.

Here\'s a good way to make you think.

Compare Ridge Racer to Gran Turismo...

Can\'t do it huh??  That\'s what I\'m trying to point out...

[Kicks Ddaryl in the face, and runs]

Anyway, Sega will surely get something going soon. They have over 80 titles planned to go around from now through March 2003.  

They can\'t all be sequels and rehashes.  Come on, it\'s Sega.

Makers of Crazy Taxi, Jet Grind Radio, NiGHTS, Chu Chu Rocket, Shen Mue, Panzer Dragoon, Ecco if you needed reminding...
