To say that in recent years, the game industry has made fans "hate iron not steel" of the old IP, Sonic series can undoubtedly occupy a place.
For a new generation of players, it may be difficult to imagine the blue hedgehog and Uncle Mario being equally divided. At that time, the horizontal vertical and vertical "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games" series, which was called "dream linkage", now has a little Sonic's "rubbing coffee position" meaning.
This is largely due, of course, to the fact that the Sonic series has not been able to get its hands on the new canon for a long time, in fact, there is no shortage of feelings among players for the blue hedgehog, especially for North American players. This can be seen from the previous "Sonic" big movie, after experiencing the re-creation of the character modeling, the film has obtained a good box office in North America with the negative influence of the past, and thus has a sequel.
After listening to the audience and changing the character model, the film has become a turnaround battle, and it is probably not a second chance to change to other unloved characters
The success of the Sonic movie almost makes it seem that Sonic is about to usher in its second spring, and it is only close to launching a new game while it is hot. The first thing fans are waiting for is Sonic: Origins, a remake of the original Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic CD, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Narus.
Most of the favorite characters in the series have appeared in these works
In terms of gameplay, the main remakes of the collection include a new 16:9 graphics and "Anniversary Mode". Compared with the original version and the 4:3 version on the official emulator, the wide-screen changes brought by the remake version are still quite eye-catching, making people feel that they are playing a remade retro game instead of a hard-gnaw old game; The "Anniversary Mode" reduces the difficulty of the game from the level of mechanics, and players are no longer subject to the three-life restriction, and can re-challenge them at the save point an unlimited number of times.
The anniversary model can be called "handicapped/elderly savior"
These two improvements make this game enough to become a "Sonic enlightenment", even players who have not touched this series at all will be able to easily get started, as long as they have patience to play all the way to the main fun of the series, there is no significant point of persuasion. It's a great choice for both veteran players who want to relive childhood memories easily and newcomers who want to get a sense of what the Sonic series looked like in the first place.
In addition, the game also contains a large number of bonus content, from the cover, manual, illustrations of the original game, to the new cutscenes, on-demand BGM... For fans, it is probably also called "buying a special gift game", which adds a lot of emotional value.
The 3D main interface of the game itself is very emotional, but it is a pity that the deluxe version can be enlarged to see
However, compared to these advantages, the disadvantages of the game are also significant.
In addition to "Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Narus", several works included in the collection have actually had remade versions on the mobile phone platform before, and the picture alone has not improved, but there has been a significant input delay on the NS platform after the re-porting, and many players on Steam have reported that they have encountered various bugs.
On the other hand, although the game does add a lot of content, these additions are still not enough in the face of the $40 price, and this sales strategy has also been disgusted by many players. This eventually led to mixed reviews of the game on Steam, and even those who gave it a good review, many people wrote in the review that it was a game that satisfies their feelings but is not suitable for everyone.
But even so, this Sonic: Origins was once on the Steam hot list in a few weeks, and players still have a sense of the feelings contained in the Sonic Hedgehog. It can only be expected that after "fried cold rice" again and again, the sonic hedgehog can finally usher in its own excellent work again.
