-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Developer Who Worked on Metroid Dread Doesn't Appear In the Credits

-

Crediting has long been a thorny issue in the video game industry, and MercurySteam is the latest studio to not list every developer who worked on the game in the credits based on its internal crediting policy.

As seen on ResetEra, Spanish gaming website Vandal published an article detailing how Madrid-based MercurySteam did not list employees who worked on the game for less than 25% of the game's total development time. The article claims the game was in development for four years, meaning employees who worked on the game for less than a year were not credited.

Vandal's article lists three developers who were not credited in the game, including 3D artist Roberto Meijias, animator Tania Penaranda, and a third, anonymous employee. Mejias took to Linkedin to congratulate the team and ask MercurySteam directly why he's not in the credits despite the game using assets and environments Mejias worked on.

IGN has reached out to Nintendo and MercurySteam for comment, but in a statement to GameSpot, the developer said, "We accredit all those who certify a minimum participation in a particular project — usually the vast majority of devs. We set the minimum at 25% of development time."

MercurySteam says there are exceptions for employees who make "significant creative and/or technical contributions."

Crediting in the video game industry is sometimes subject to byzantine rules set by each individual company. There is no universal standard on who gets a credit for working on a video game, something that developers have criticized in the past.

This is MercurySteam's second time partnering with Nintendo on the Metroid series, previously working on 2017's Metroid: Samus Returns on 3DS. The studio has also worked on several Castlevania games for Konami.
