Is it me, or...

[Chaos]

...does SRB2's story seem kinda gloomy compared to normal Sonic stories?

 

[Spazzo]

Would you rather have Sonic fall in love with some human princess?

 

[Monster Iestyn]

No. I think it's you.

 

[Goober]

It uses a Doom engine. The storyline had nothing to do with it *shot

 

[xxBeanGirl420xx]

The story's gloom is actually a nice change of pace compared to other Sonic games.

 

[fickleheart]

Would you rather have Sonic fall in love with some human princess?

Yes. *Shot*

...I don't think I was funny.

 

[Chromatian]

At least it seems serious compared to the crap Sega is giving us.

 

[DroxSorcerer]

Actually, no. Not the stories from the 16-bit games atleast.

 

[Chaos]

Because games where you save a princess and save the world from falling apart is a sad, terrible tale, right?

I love that part where Eggman is starving and eats Sonic's ears in order to survive and thus Sonic calls Eggman a bugger. Hillaireayus.

The story is pretty upbeat, and actually pretty relieving after playing a couple of hours of Doom 2 (which I don't play anymore).

 

[Mikesword221]

What do you expect from a game that uses the Doom engine? Doom is dark and gloomy SRB2 is happy and gloomy.

 

[super]

At least this story is much better than the other things Sega have been making up.

 

[Luminous]

What do you expect from a game that uses the Doom engine? Doom is dark and gloomy...

So? It does HAVE to be gloomy because of that.

 

[Prime 2.0]

What do you expect from a game that uses the Doom engine? Doom is dark and gloomy...

So? It does HAVE to be gloomy because of that.

No, it has to be gloomy because eggman used a weapon of mass destruction to annihilate a densely populated city, killing thousands, potentially millions of innocent people.

Which is stupid, since he probably could have gotten a ransom for it. But that would be too much like SA2 :E

This is pretty much what I think the story is. The story's about an adorable short little blue hedgehog with a 4 year old face. He was too late to get to a city before the merciless Eggman shot his huge lazer, though I don't know what Sonic was planning to do to stop it in the first place, because I'm pretty sure he's not big enough to jump infront of a lazer to protect anyone. All the men, women, and children were vaporized, because Eggman wanted to take twice as long to build an empire. Even though Greenflower was hit with a devastating doomsday lazer, everything seems to be in place with no broken land or burns or anything, as if a city was never there in the first place. For some unfathomable reason, two houses were untouched by the lazer in the first part of the zone, probably rubbed with some sort of repellant. As usual, Eggman acts retarded and comes out of nowhere every once in awhile knowing he's gonna get his ass handed to him by Sonic, even though he had no reason being there in the first place. To make a long story short, everybody dies, but Sonic looks too much like an adorable 4 year old so it's not gloomy.

But hey, what do I know? We only have the demo, the story's probably not even finished yet.
