Incredibly impressive looking 3D Adventure esque Sonic Fan game. Sonic 2020: Episode white jungle

[Catalix]

Controls seem way too janky and level design overly chaotic for my tastes.

Presentation was impressive though.

Well, depends on whether you mean "a full game with cutscenes throughout" or just "a story with a beginning, a journey, and an end". Because Sonic Robo Blast 2 has the latter, mainly with a proper opening cutscene will full dialogue and establishing the plot and an ending where Eggman's latest plan is foiled.

I meant the former but I need to play Robo Blast 2.

It looks great for a fan game, but oh dear god it's just dripping in 3D Sonic jank, I'm getting frustrated just watching

A new update of Sonic Robo Blast 2 is probably coming this weekend (it was supposed to be out already, but based on their tweets the devs seem to be stuck in a cycle where every bug fixed introduces a new bug).

If you were planning to play now, I'd wait a few days first. But I highly recommend the game.

I don't know how I got Smilebit mixed up, but my point still remains. They should make things other than Yakuza-likes

The closes thing is Sonic in Banana Blitz HD

It is too slow for Sonic and yet is too fast for its open structure. The Level design is a complete mess as well and does not communicate well with the player where to go next. Which is extremely important in an arcade platformer such as Sonic.

The level design is a demo area meant to show off the movement systems, not an actual level of a real game. Of course, that is the problem with these 3D Sonic fan-games: the ones with potential aren't actual games, and the ones that are actual games usually aren't actually good.

I think SRB2 is really the only genuinely good and basically complete 3D Sonic fangame out there. And it's a goddamn Doom mod, well, technically.

I can't play it. As soon as I start the game it opens steam VR. While the game displays the title screen just fine, as soon as I start the game I get a black screen (with the game starting in the background). Closing steam VR also closes the game...

I'll definitely take a look.

That's how game engines are tested, there's no level design. I can see that engine being used in linear Adventure/Unleashed/Generation like levels perfectly fine, it's better than Sega's engine.


Now Sonic Utopia is the one that's overhyped. Sonic doesn't work in open world levels.

I still think Sonics core mechanics don't translate to 3D well.

But this video of Sonic running around in a rough-looking Green Hill Zone with no coherent level design will prove otherwise!

The part where you can go underwater was somewhat interesting to me.

Everything else was bleh.
