      To be fair, they announced Superstars WAY before Wonder was. How could they predict that their chosen release date would come at an extremely similar day to a bigger budget game from the face of video games? And its not like they can simply delay the game for a month or so: The pre-release hype cycle was starting to sputter as it is, and that's before you get the subset of Modern Sonic fans who think Classic should not even exist anymore.

Why the hell are the bosses up to 4 minutes long each with on hit KO attacks that force you start from the beginning? There is a reason mania removed most of the slog from the returning stages and made them more fun and faster. Its so frustrating.

      ​​@@BurnsyRunsDawg what, Arzest literally includes some of the original developers for Sonic 1 from the Genesis & the whole point of this game was that Sega wanted a more Modern look for 2D games, because some people were turned off from the artstyle of Mania, because it's 16 bit pixel art.
      We don't know why the Mania devs never returned, but Naoto Ohshima, the original creator of Sonic, wanted to return to the series for another game & after talking with series producer Takashi Izuka, Superstars began development in 2020.

  • @GameAW1
    @GameAW1 10 месяцев назад +80

    Honestly I feel like the only real major problem with the game is the price. It should be more of a 30-40 dollar game, not a game on par in price with the likes of Baldur's Gate 3 or Super Mario Wonder. Sonic's almost always had the smaller games when on 2D in all aspects, and while in the 90s it wasn't an issue since the gap wasn't that noticeable, nowadays as the two diverged, it became incredibly obvious. And then the DLC/Deluxe edition costing more means that people kind of HAVE to judge it more harshly.
    I do feel bad about the inevitable Wonder competition. Who in Sega could have predicted they'd pick a date so close same release date as the day Mario gets his biggest 2D platformer game before they even revealed it exists. That one's less poor timing and more shit luck. And they can't just delay it for a month or so.

      @BurnsyRuns 10 месяцев назад +1

      I disagree. If the level layouts werent so boring and bland, id replay this annually just like I do the other games in classic series. Theyre designed to be layered with paths that require different tiers of skill. Thats not present here, exploring new paths just means using a different character, emerald ability, or using the right gimmick. Thats fucking boring and not worth 60 dollars. The levels are also marred by the tendancy for everything to become a hall and maze, its a mundane crawl through most levels.
      I'd pay 60 dollars for Sonic 3&K if this was an alternate universe where it came out brand new today. It's short to beat the game, sure, but it still entertains me to replay it even for the 30th time and beyond. Thats because the level design encourages replaying, its satisfying to take harder paths. Just playing Superstars once was like pulling teeth. Classic Sonic games can be $60, but not this one.

      The biggest problem with the Genesis-styled tracks in games like 4, Forces, and Superstars, is that most of the compositions don’t sound like they really fit into the Genesis Classic Sonic style, they sound more like something you’d hear in Mega Man, Adventure/Modern Sonic games, or even the 8-bit Classic games

Just browsing the soundtrack it's painfully obvious which ones were handled by Tee and which were Jun, because Tee uses lots of midi samples to create a nostalgic feeling while not emulating the classics directly, while Jun uses the same Sonic 1 drum beat in like 90% of his tracks.

    Man... Just once, I'd like there to be a new Sonic game that everyone can unanimously agree is "good", instead of "good enough", "not bad", or "passably inoffensive". Sonic's been going on for so long and is such an iconic character that it feels weird that he's just barely scraping by with games that are just barely above average.

Classic levels in Generations did not play like the originals at all, and they were extremely good levels, Sonic was still fast, and there were plenty of alternative routes and shortcuts to take.

This just shows that SEGA just won’t learn the right lessons. The fact that this could have been Mania 2 and release alongside wonder would have been the redemption Sonic needed. You don’t just need classic sonic physics and new gimmicks to make a solid game, but you need to connect them with good level design and I immediately knew that was gonna a major concern to me the moment I heard who’s working on the game and gameplay footage. And the emerald abilities do look clunky to pull out in a Sonic game. I was willing to be open minded but no way I’m paying full price for this I’ll be waiting on a good discount.

    Caro said it best on Twitter, the highs were very high, and the lows were low AF. One of my biggest criticisms with this game, besides not being able to tank bosses and beat them in seconds, there is some awesome level design, and then you have those moments where it feels like they snuck in the dimps development team from the Sonic Rush and Sonic advance 2 days, complete with the do or die bottomless pits. And if I had to pick my least favorite boss, besides the final boss at the end of egg fortress zone, It's the boss at the end of press factory Zone. That boss is glitched out the ass! And how the hell am I able to get crushed on the non-existent ceiling?

    [SPOILER WARNING]
    I just finished Superstars today, and I am so glad that I wasn't the only one who despised Trip's campaign and that horrible fight with Fang. And aside from how boosh her harder levels and boss fights are, she's playable in the main campaign, so the only possible reason to give her a unique campaign would be to show how she came into contact with Eggman. Unfortunately, the Super Sonic fight also sucked, in my opinion. It was too long, felt luck-based in terms of rings, and in terms of story, it feels like the boss just shows up out of nowhere, as if the last story was just there out of obligation. Despite that, I thought everything before Trip's campaign was great. Not worth $60 (maybe $30), but still a fun game to play through, aside from the post-game stuff.

    I’m generally positive abt the game and I think it’ll be better with a few patches. A few things I didn’t like that can’t change with a patch are 1. Why didn’t Tee Lopes do the whole soundtrack 😭. 2. The bosses taking the Sonic out of Sonic. The main grab of Sonic, 2D especially, is finding the fastest way to get to the goal. Ik they said they actively planned for this, but preventing you from beating some bosses fast, not allowing successive attacks, takes the fun away. I’d rather have an unmemorable boss go down in 10 seconds than one I remember for being annoying 💀

    It's kinda sad, but also funny that Superstars supposedly fixed the issue that Mania had. Which was the issue of having fewer new and original zones, yet Superstars doesn't seem to exactly have as much polish as Mania.
    I'm usually a person that buys games Day 1 anyways. I did that with Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Atelier Ryza 3, Pikmin 4, Sea of Stars, and soon-to-be Super Mario Bros. Wonder and the Super Mario RPG remake. But this is one of those rare times where I'll just wait until the holidays come around for a price drop.
    Or I might get it this week, just so I can have something to new play until Wonder comes out.

    While the general consensus of this game is that it’s a seven out of 10 and frontiers was generally considered to be a seven out of 10 kind of game, I actually think that’s a good thing for the sonic franchise. I think that the sonic franchise really needs to be focusing on establishing consistency again and if that means a couple of seven out of 10 releases in a row so be it. Those are good games by most metrics even if they’re not great.

    While I still plan on getting this game, it’ll most like be for around $30-$40 when it inevitably drops in price, especially with Mario Wonder and Spider-Man 2 mere days away. Even if it’s a *very* low bar, this does seem a much better classic-style game than Sonic 4, but unfortunately doesn’t really seem to same heights as Mania, which was 1/3 of the price. Again though, I still plan on getting it, but it does seem quite odd that Sega got Arzest to develop this game instead of developing it in-house, or even bringing back Dimps due to their work on the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush games.

    Amy is wayyy better in Superstars than in Origins. In Origins she has no double jump, and her hammer rush is like a worse drop dash
    and yeah Knuckles' special abilities, like the gliding and climbing, just feel clunkier than the classics. It's like they made him MORE clunky because they remember him being clunky, or something. He did always drop like a rock from the glide, but his glide was faster in the classics, his air movement was better, his climb was faster, etc.
    It's also true that Knuckles has only been made slower since the classics, while Sonic has gotten a busted new ability (drop dash), Tails' flying is faster than ever, and other new additions like Mighty, Ray and Amy all have movement that benefit their speed. Knuckles' original toolset is unchanged and he's getting like, "powercrept by the meta" almost.

      If they had waited another month, they would've had to deal with the holiday season. For something like Frontiers, a massive new console title, they're likely more willing to splurge on marketing it during the holidays, so they released it in November. But for Superstars, something I presume to likely have been a somewhat smaller budget project, I think they chose October so they wouldn't have to market around Black Friday/Christmas. I assume they just didn't know games like Mario Wonder would be coming out around the same time, and didn't want to risk changing it later on, potentially ruining deals with various business partners.

    Its Arzest's level design, its not good. It constantly makes the same sorts of mistakes that an average/below average rom hack or fan game does, it has very maze-like level design that really doesnt use ramps for anything other than spectacle.

      Ugh for real, Golden capital just flat out sucked to play through and I don't even want to talk about press factory. The level design was all over the place.

      I have such a complicated relationship with arzest because on one hand bridge island 1 is my favourite level in the entire classic series and on the other hand I genuinely dont think arzest should be brought back to make another Sonic game.

    Dang. I finally finished the game and beat all the 3 end game bosses and I really want to hear Ash's thoughts on the Dragon fight.

    13:41 I disagree. The special stages are not that bad, but special stage six got on my nerves. Other than that, the concept is pretty freaking easy to pick up. The only thing I don't like is how you can't necessarily change the camera. You're always focused on the emerald.

    Super agree. Squandered potential is probably my main takeaway from playing it. I'd go further though and say that for £55 it's SHAMELESS how unpolished this game is.
    I really hope they patch it to improve the animations in the cutscenes, fix the softlocks and glitches, and for the love of god please replace all the horrendous Jun Senoue Sonic 4 music!
    Proper level transitions would have been nice too. In general the game doesn't give me the same sense of actually moving through an interesting mysterious world like the classics. The lack of level transitions, the overly contantly upbeat music, and how generic the world map is all contribute to this.

    I think one thing this game and to an extent even Mania don't totally understand is that bonus stages should be just that: bonuses. Blue sphere's fine like 7 or so times but even in 3&K getting Hyper Sonic can be a total drag, so imagine how annoying it is to get all of the medals in Mania for all of their unlockables!
    In Superstars it seems to have improved this a ton, bonus stages can get you Sonic medals but so can killing gold enemies or just finding them in stages so if you know what you're doing you don't need to bother with the special stages outside of emerald hunting, here the only issue is that medals only unlock stuff for battle mode which.... Okay, sure, but if I'm just unlocking parts for this custom mech guy I should be able to use him in single player atleast, maybe as some type of bonus for beating the game?

    I was thinking of getting this game down the line but this discussion is making me think otherwise.
    Didn't even get Frontiers either. Haven't played a sonic game in a while

      Frontiers is worth getting imo, especially after the post-launch content, but The Final Horizon should be avoided until it gets a balance patch.

      Frontiers isn't worth 60 but it's worth 20 which it goes for every once in a while

      Honestly, your not missing much from these games. If u want an polished and quality Sonic that's cheaper, yet worth it, I recommend Mania Plus.
