WHY DOES SEGA KEEP PUTTING SILVER IN SONIC GAMES

They're secretly proud of sonic 06, as they shoudl eb

Push it 'till they like it
Silver's the definition of wasted potential so maybe they think he'll grow on people

He's ok I guess. Needs to be playable in a working game for people to actually like him though, right now people only really remember him for IT'S NO USEEE

>>383536769
they have terrible taste and have fuck no idea of what works in sonic

>>383537005
Sonic Rivals was OK

Do they? I don't remember the last game he was in.

>>383536769
He's a telekinetic hedgehog, what's not to like?

>>383536769
This is the first time he's been playable in an important game in 11 years. And as shocking as it may seem, he actually does have a fanbase, simply because he's a hedgehog.

I like that the Sonic Channel art makes him look like a (cute) dork.

What happened?

>>383538228
He was in Sonic Generations and he's confirmed to be in Sonic Forces.

There's really nothing actually wrong with silver as a character (hell, he doesn't even steal the spotlight in his debut game). He was just an okay character who was fucked over by greedy execs forcing the game out for christmas after cutting the dev team in half mid-way into development.

>>383536769
He hasn't really besides 06. Wasn't in Unleashed, only in the DS version Colors as an extremely minor character like the rest of Sonic's friends. He was a boss in Gens which is his biggest role since 06, and he wasn't in Lost World. We don't know what he'll do in Forces yet or why he's back in the past.

>>383539467
Blaze is from another dimension, Silver is from Sonic's world's future. Dumb as it sounds, Blaze has far less reason to be involved in saving Sonic's world than Silver does.

>>383536769
Because he's a Sonic character? And he doesn't show up very often enyway.

>>383539969

Just have Infinite threaten Blaze's world somehow. They're already bullshitting with having Chaos and Shadow being evil again, may as well go all out.

>>383539969
Isn't this game's Classic Sonic from another dimension? I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to shoehorn Blaze into this game as well.

>>383540104
Just give me Majin Shadow and I'll take him being evil again.

Are legitimately upset Silver got in and not your flat as a board waifu?

>>383536769
He's an ok character originally from an unfortunate game. Just because that game had problems doesn't mean they have to torch and ignore the whole thing when there are some good parts among the bad. 80% of fucking Japanese developers have that issue, including Sonic Team themselves in other areas.

I'm not the other guy; I was just sayin'.

On second thought, Blaze and Silver will probably both show up for no real reason other than to just be Sonic and OC-kun's cheerleaders. Everyone wins!

>>383536769
They throw every damn character and mechanic from the past into every game (unless it's western i.e. Archie/Boom, or specifically Sonic/Tails for some skin-deep nostalgia-pandering).

The devs either have the same autism as their fans or believe it's what's keeping them attracted to it. Also there's SEGA-"kill localizations then complain why nobody buys our weebgames"-Sammy, so don't think too hard about it.

Goddamnit I miss the comics

Because Silver was actually fine.

>>383540712
On the bright side, since the comics appear to be over, maybe Sega can finally hire some of the writers of those comics, since they seem to do a better job than the writers of the games.

>>383536769
Sonic is the cool MC of the early 90s.
Shadow is the cool MC of late 90s/early 00s
Silver is the cool MC from late 00s/early10s
now we are seeing an faggot gary stu and the renascence of edgy characters.
and surprisingly. Sonic Forces let's you create your gary stu furfag and villain is most likely an overpowered edgylord where only with the help of faggot gary stu sonic will be able to defeat him

Implying Silver was ever 'cool'.

Question. Is Sonic cool? Was he cool in the 90s?

>>383541946
he fits the archtype of that era. people liking him or not. especially at how dense he is

>>383542326
He's way past cool.

>>383536936

You need to have potential to be able to waste it, Anon.

You know people got bodied in Sonic 2006 by Silver because they don't like Trunks the Hedgehog

>>383542326
Sometimes he is.

>>383540258
Well "upset" is a strong word. I'll just say I would definitely be disappointed if Blaze is not in the game, because I really like her and feel that she is a good character and deserves some attention (maybe moreso than some other Sonic characters). I am also aware that we don't know everything about Sonic Forces so she could be in the game for all I know and she just hasn't been revealed yet.

That's subjective, and a lot of Sonic characters are very one note, honestly. Silver's my favourite, but I'm not bummed about every game he isn't in

No confirmation that Flynn is helping with Forces. We do know for a fact that series writer Warren Graff has returned and is contributing to the game's script.

Thing is, Blaze seems to be one of the few Sonic characters who isn't one note and actually has some depth to her. On top of that she has pyrokinesis powers and that's just fucking awesome (Also makes me wish she could be playable again. Sega could do some cool stuff with that gameplay-wise if they put their minds to it.) So Sega ignoring her just makes me shake my head a bit.

However upon retrospect I guess I was being too harsh. Just because I like Blaze doesn't mean I should be mad that other characters like Silver made it in yet she may have not. And you are right. Me really liking Blaze and feeling she is a good character is subjective.

Again sorry if I came off as being too mean and peace to you.

His song is neat.
