Lady Soniko Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ehh might just be my phone then, I suspect they'd work better on a larger device like a tablet, it just looks so shaky and pretty poor quality on my Xperia Arc, oh wells~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamboCat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Ahh OK... yeah, I use a tablet. :/ I kinda like Jump, if I am honest... sorry didn't mean to sound defensive, I was just confused... or wondering if I was missing out! XD [/offtopic] This looks like it would run rather well on my tablet, so I reeeeeally do hope SEGA get their butts in gear and get it on Android soon! I've got a lot of Metro and tram journeys that need entertainment! Edited March 6, 2013 by Doctor Mambotnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavvie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think the problem with the Android version is that it has to work on so many different models, with so many different variations and specifications, so ultimately the experience is hampered a little compared to the iOS version, which is near as dammit One Size Fits All.

Djawed Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say really. As a whole, it probably won't be better, but I think it could be more fun. Yeah I agree with what you say. It is basically taking the straightforward obstacle courses in the console 3d sonic's, and then execute that into a mobile game that gets everything out of that element with a great variety and interesting ideas.

TitanWarlord93 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just seen the gameplay and it looks fun so I will be downloading this tomorrow. The only thing I'm unsure of was where Sonic is in the air and lands onto the next platform though. I thought Sonic was going to fall into the sea at first :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Ash Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Looks pretty fun, although, I'm wondering, is it going to be like Temple Run where it speeds up as you progress? Because Sonic looks awfully slow in that video. Also, still really want Shadow on Sonic Jump, but oh well. :V Edited March 6, 2013 by Burnt Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autosaver Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hey look, so everyone's suggestion of Modern Sonic using Spindash to slide is finally here... ...in a spin-off game. Wee! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Ring Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This game looks really, really good. I can't wait to see the other environments too! Seriously can't wait to see further developments with this. I just hope there's a way you can play the game landscape with your phone, instead of always portrait, because that would be the bee's knee's. That's all I really ask, though I doubt it will happen.

Your Vest Friend Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I like how Sonic Dash is called "Sonic's first endless runner game", meaning that even SEGA have forgotten that Sonic the Sketchhog existed. Well done. Did that come out outside Japan? If so, it still mustn't have been advertised anywhere near as much as this. No wonder they forgot it.

Gavvie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ^ It did, but only as a part of a 20th Anniversary app, which SEGA took down as soon as the anniversary was over. Awfully nice of them, I was well looking forward to playing it when I eventually got my iPod touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autosaver Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm going to be blunt. SEGA's sex slave (seaside hill) needs to stop being raped so often. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezMM Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It fitst the mobile platform perfectly though. Does it? If one gets good at an endless game, that's quite a time investment, and a game where failure means losing a lot of progress is awkward to pause on. Sonic Jump had levels, why not this? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it being endless only of course, I'd just rather have set levels to play too that I know will take -this- much time because -this- is how much time I have to kill. Though if there's a save feature that lets you continue an in-progress round then there's no problem. I'm going to be blunt. SEGA's sex slave (seaside hill) needs to stop being raped so often. :/ ...How is an analogy like that in any way appropriate. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candescence Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Swiping and tapping? These are not terrible controls, and I can't even conceive of a better way to make such a game function as simply as possible. I can think of one. It's called a d-pad. Proven, reliable, and even more simple. Lack of proper controls holds mobile gaming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I can think of one. It's called a d-pad. Proven, reliable, and even more simple. Lack of proper controls holds mobile gaming back. At this point, you're just downing touch/mobile games because you're attacking the inherent device they're designed and optimized to run on, in which case I don't know why you'd single Dash out under the context of "these controls look horrible"- as if this game was specifically designed badly, which again it's not- instead of just coming out and lambasting mobile games as a whole. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be perfectly clear, there are mobile games that play very well, mainly because they play to the device's strengths and try to avoid extraneous touch controls that doesn't suit the platform - Sonic Jump is a perfect example of this. But this is a case where I can't imagine the controls not being simply unreliable, not to mention swiping doesn't have the response time of a d-pad.

Sean Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 This looks very impressive for an iOS game. I actually wish I had a device to play this on, it looks very entertaining and feels closer to a Sonic game than I ever would have expected a mere touch device app to emulate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
