Indigo Rush Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Seaside Hill is a Sky Sanctuary rehash now? Sonic Generations' level selection was less diverse than I thought. Edited March 16, 2013 by Indigo Rush 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor MK Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Seaside Hill is a Sky Sanctuary rehash now? Sonic Generations' level selection was less diverse than I thought. If it's both a Green Hill and Sky Sanctuary rehash... then that technically means Sonic & Knuckles rehashed Sonic 1... which means... DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMPS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tani Coyote Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 They really should try the demand-side approach and hold polls/petitions to see what people want as the new stage like Sumo's done for characters. Makes me curious what say, a City Escape stage would look like... would surely be interesting to pull off in the game. Also, confusing Sky Sanctuary and Ocean Palace, seriously? What is this nonsense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor MK Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Also, confusing Sky Sanctuary and Ocean Palace, seriously? What is this nonsense? Yeah, you'd have thought the fact that one of them is in the sky and one of them is by the ocean would have made it pretty damn obvious. It's not as if the zone names are misleading, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mark- Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) So, admittedly I've been on a bit of a bender for this game today. Spent a good hour and a half on it. You know what? If you just stop giving a shit about unlocking the extra characters (and considering they're quite literally reskins that play identically to Sonic, that's not too hard to do), this game suddenly becomes a lot more fun, because Red Star Rings lose almost all worth and you don't have to worry about earning/ saving them. I've found that the game becomes infinitely easier if you just upgrade the rate at which the boost gauge fills, and to a slightly lesser extent, the duration of the boost itself. Also as you level up your multiplier increases as well, which seems to make your score go up that much more quickly. But yeah; if you try and level up the boost gauge fill speed as much as you can, this makes a world of difference. If you choose the route-change option at a jump and successfully pull off the QTE, you'll usually get 20, 50, or 100 rings; the latter two will more or less completely fill your boost bar. The game becomes much easier when you can fill your boost bar as much as possible and use it to get through any dangerous bits. Hell, I've not even had all that much trouble with any of the missions so far. Whenever I clear three missions and get some Red Star Rings, I usually save them for revive tokens if I mess up in a particularly good run. This game is definitely growing on me the more I put into it. Sure, that in no way excuses the shitty cash-grab aspect of it, but if you just flat out ignore trying to unlock anything that requires Red Star Rings, the game suddenly becomes much more enjoyable. You know what, though? This game has convinced me that an iOS port of Sonic and the Secret Rings could work amazingly. Because all the dumb shit that they pulled in it (i.e. controls, autorunning) would actually make sense as a mobile game.

Ming Ming Hatsune Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Have you guys played Subway Surfers? If not, try that game now. Sonic Dash is a mixture of Temple Run and Subway Surfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephy Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Did you happen to unlock those specific achievements without an online connections? Sometimes I play at school and I happen to get through tons of challenges with none of them unlocked.Well, I have 3G connection but when I'm at home I usually turn it off to use only wifi (which sometimes fails to connect)... Shit xD. Edited March 17, 2013 by Seraphinprincess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, though? This game has convinced me that an iOS port of Sonic and the Secret Rings could work amazingly. Because all the dumb shit that they pulled in it (i.e. controls, autorunning) would actually make sense as a mobile game. This pretty much echoes my thoughts. I play it just for fun; Tails, Knuckles and Amy aren't really of import to me at the moment. As such, I have zero red star issues... I just run for as long as I can without using continues. I will admit the tapping the screen part sometimes can be cumbersome on my end but overall everything works smoothly. The music fits the speed of it all very well, and the difficulty curve really isn't that hard. But at the same time it's not too easy - you're constantly on the edge of your seat as new obstacles rapidly show up and you have a split second to move over. Some call it cheap, I call it exhilarating, constantly being in a sense of danger! I really need to test out the boosts more, because just earlier I died when the game didn't respond to a homing attack command. So the direct screen tap apparently needs some fine tuning...

Tani Coyote Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well, at least that's more or less a confirmation there won't be any fully new stages unless Sega yanks their leash hard enough. So that really just makes one wonder what other locales they'll put in Dash. Perhaps they'll do all the iconic stages that didn't make the cut for Generations? Ice Cap, City Escape, etc.?

Generations Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sonic Dash T-shirts: https://inthegame.nl/prijsvragen/prijsvraag-sonic-telefoonhoesjes-en-tshirts/ Those are actually pretty lame. To be honest, they don't even look official. Anyway, I wonder when the game is going to get updated. At this point I have beat all the missions and unlocked Amy o both my iPhone and iPad. Also, what about Sonic Jump? I hope they didn't forget about it, it's been a while since we've gotten an update for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tani Coyote Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Those are actually pretty lame. To be honest, they don't even look official. Echoing this. My browser is also telling me the URL isn't trustworthy. So yes, high chance they're bootlegged. Sega should consider creating at least a small batch of Dash T-Shirts though. While they probably won't sell enormously, I can see a few thousand selling to the devoted fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komodin Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 When the Android version comes out, would a Kindle Fire be able to run it? I don't have one, but I'm curious. Well, since the Kindle Fire can't access the Google Play Store, chances are that, unless they also make it available for the Amazon Appstore, you won't be able to get it.

No, but there was a "Sonic should die" comment (which was negatively voted on...good). Oh, and TONS of SA3 comments. However, one person said that Sonic needs a game which is the equivalent of Mario Galaxy for Mario or Rayman Origins for Rayman...I agree with this.
