General Sonic is Terrible Thread

Actually yes. Yes they are. In fact I'm pretty sure City Escape as a level exists in Sonic Generation and Sonic Adventure. The Modern Sonic Stage kept it pretty close to the original minus the shit camera, the truck, and a few extra paths to take. The only time where Sonic Stages move away from that formula is during a boss fight, and even then thats not his stage but the end of his stage so it doesn't count as being a stage and I don't think 1/10th of a stage can be considering for his full stage to not being a 2D stage.

Wait a sec the truck was in Sonic Generations too...

The thing is that the level designs in the original encouraged you to slow down and explore on a 3 dimentional plane, benefiting you in the process. Some of the exploration required skill. Remember the loop in City escape in SG that made you bolt down a building which transitioned you from 3D to 2D? Well in the original you could go to the side of it at the bottom, find enemies, bound jump up to them since they were high up, homing attack up the building and get a 1up. See? You werent locked to a 2D plane or even made to follow a certain path like SG. You had freedom to go where you wanted, and that rewarded you. I dont see how to put sections like the one I mentioned in 2D, along with many others located in the same stage and in the whole game. Thats how you could find items like the Light Speed Shoes and Bounce ring. How? Exploring the 3D environment, running and jumping off the main path to some section of the stage that was otherwise unnoticable if you hadnt been curious enough to try. Compare that to Unleashed Day/SG where you feel like you're running on a racetrack with different environments and jumping off the paths to explore either dont work or you die.

You also bash a camera that was made for a shit console over 10 years ago and compare it to ones made in a game for Xbox 360/PS3. It sucked I know but, like, seriously man.
