The thing that annoys me about the whole Sonic transition into 3d thing was actually more to do with people getting upset with the change in Sonic as a character then actually gameplay as classic was just a generic spunky kid protagonist before turning into the hedgehog personification of the X-treme 90s as modern. I mean look at how Archie had to really wrestles some characters to make the transition from classic to modern.
(BTW most of the old 3d Sonic games like the OG SA1 suffered from the same issues as Mario 64 such as really hard depth perception and weird level pacing but it's just much more noticeable in SA1 since Sonic being way faster could make it harder to navigate areas where you have to slow down and think, however alot of these issues were patched in DX)
ive never actually seen anyone say that .. like that sonic had a rough transition into 3d from a character stuff standpoint. not saying i dont believe you just that thats not a take ive ever heard before. i feel like personality wise hes mostly the same so were they mad that he has green eyes were that mad that he talks now. idk . guess i never considered this perspective because im too young to have ever lived in a world where only the classic games existed
and yeah im aware that sonic adventure isnt perfect i just think its strange that sonic specifically is the one people never shut up about having a rough transition into 3d and not any other franchise that went from 2d to 3d at some point . you mention mario 64 having a lot of the same issues and i cant say from experience because ive never played that game but a lot of people hype up mario 64 as one of the best games ever made so like. is there a weird double standard going on here or something
#wouldnt be surprised really because i see some people say sonic adventure is bad because it has glitches#while people are fine with huge glitches in mario 64 because theyre funny or help with speedrunning or whatever#asks#anyway back to the designs thing. yeah it would be wild to wake up one day as a sonic fan in the 90s#and see that amy doesnt look like a hedgehog anymore.#do you think people were going ''omg im shaking get him brown eye contacts PLEASE !'' in 1998 when sonics eyes turned green#like people in 2023 did when sonics eyes turned blue in frontiers#was team chaotix making a comeback in sonic heroes as big a deal in 2003#as mighty and ray making a comeback in sonic mania was in 2018. much to think about#also yeah i remember the weird ways archie handled the classic to modern transition with certain characters
