So is someone actually commissioning this new abt stuff or is he drunk again?

(1/2)

Why 1995 was the start of Sonic's downfall:
- Sega released the Saturn
- Sonic Team took a break from Sonic to do up new IPs
- Sega Technical Institute (US) went to work on a mainline game while Traveler's Tales (UK) did up a couple side games.

Why it was terrible:
- Saturn was a complete disaster in every conceivable fashion.
- Sonic Team's new IPs had variable success: Nights sold well but they didn't follow up on it until 11 years later, while Burning Rangers ended up being a niche title. Additionally, internal politicking solidified Naka and Iizuka as the top two, more on that later.
- X-treme was an absolute clusterfuck of a disaster, easily the biggest load of shit in the franchise and this is the same series that gave us 06 and Boom. At least the later two were released, for all the screwups they had. X-treme didn't even get to that stage.
- So the only Sonic games for the console was a short filler racing game, and a Genesis game that got a rushed port so they could put some kind of Sonic platformer on the Saturn.

>>174304740
(2/2)

The aftermath:
- With the Saturn being a complete disaster, they rushed the Dreamcast out.
- Because of how much of a disaster the Saturn-era had been, not just for Sega as a whole but for Sonic specifically, Adventure ended up having to follow up on all the expectations and disappointments of the past three years.
- At the end of the day, Naka and Iizuka were not up to the job. Naka was a skilled programmer no question, but when it came to actual game design he was more interested in how it "felt" (give me a Mario game I can speedrun) then in the details of actually making it a good game. Iizuka was a latecomer who worked on S3&K as a salaryman, and he had no idea and still has no idea what made Sonic popular. So Adventure ends up being a clusterfuck of different ideas, none of which are executed to their fullest potential.
- The flawed base that Adventure started ends up being the basis for future games up to and including 06. But with Sega's financial issues, they need to churn out Sonic games to make as much money as possible. Devs have no time to actually improve on anything, just tossing in as many ideas as they can to appeal to as many people as possible. With Naka and Iizuka still at the helm, the series suffers from a lack of adequate direction.
- And of course, everything completely falls apart with 06, which combined all the negatives of the Adventure games, Heroes and Shadow into one putrid landfill of a game. But without the disaster that was the Saturn-era, none of this would've happened to begin with. So even though the Dreamcast period was good relative to the Saturn and PS2/GCN/XBox periods, it just ended up being a brief respite that ended up setting up more problems than it fixed.
- tl;dr everything wrong with the Sonic franchise can be traced back to the Saturn era.
- tl;dr wall of text autism

I've been seeing posts that the Sonic Mania animated cutscene gif sn't by Max Collins and he just leaked it. Can anyone confirm/deny?

>>174304951
While I do recall seeing him post it, it's impossible to say if he made it or not. He doesn't talk much on his blog, and if he did make it, I doubt Sega or PagodaWest would let him talk about things like that.

The effects animation looks like it was done by Max, probably. But I would be very surprised if Tyson Hesse wasn't involved somehow. It looks just like his work. Has anyone asked him?

>>174305434
Hesse was just trying to emulate the CD opening style, so it's more likely a case of shared inspiration.

>>174305185
Ooshima is hardly involved with Sonic anymore. He probably just thought the GIF looked cool.

That's what I'm thinking. Someone said Collins probably worked on the explosion effect. Perhaps this WIP animation shows off the effect much better than the final version. It's also the only thing that looks completely finished. It's the most detailed part by far. Collins' tumblr features a lot of his work like it's a portfolio/resume and he was just adding another sample to that when he uploaded it.

All of the cutscenes might be completely finished by now.

Has it occurred to anybody that Tyson Hesse just posted a Sonic animation a few days ago? https://twitter.com/boxerhockey/status/847949758702379008

I'm 100% sure this is Tyson's animation now and Max just leaked it. It looks exactly the same.

If there are animated cutscenes in Mania, specifically at least an opening and ending, does that mean we might get vocal themes again?

I really hope we do. It's been so long since we had any vocal songs. Not counting the new version of Escape from the City, I think the last time we Colors almost 7 years ago

I'm guessing SoA wanted the iOS versions of Sonic 1&2 to be ported to other platforms, but Iizuka said no. And that ultimately, Mania was his idea. Or so he claims.

>>174316507
Or Sonic 3. Remember Taxman and Stealth were pushing hard for it.

>>174316596
But in that case, it's not because Sonic 3 has enough platforms, it's because the music copyrights are up in the air with a lawsuit still going on.

What happened to Angel Island during Unleashed?

Did the magical force that causes it to float also cause it to be pushed out into space when the planet broke apart? Or did it simply collide with whatever planet piece it happened to be hovering over at the time?

Also, isn't it a bit weird that Knuckles, being so closely tied to emerald related things, wasn't at least consulted on how to restore the Chaos Emeralds? Why didn't the Master Emerald factor into this at all?

Okay-- sure. The obvious answer would be "To make room for new characters like Chip and Prof. Pickle." But god damn, Knuckles got shafted pretty hard plot-wise in that game, didn't he?

>>174323754
I find it a little more upsetting that we never got the Shadow/Knuckles DLC that was supposed to have been floating around. Not sure if it was a cut concept or a rumor, but it would have been nice regardless.

>>174324178
I don't remember anything about Shadow and Knuckles being DLC, but I do remember a rumor of them being in the game as side characters before the game was even released, though. I want to say Iizuka said it but it could easily just be hearsay.

I cant stop thinking about sonic and his stupid fucking ball problems

Also, wasn't Unleashed touted to be yet another "reboot" of the series at one point? Man there was a whole lot of bullshit surrounding that game prior to release. I can't tell if it was just Iizuka running his mouth during interviews or just kids making shit up.

>>174324304
A lot of that is predicated on quiz questions which mention them despite their not appearing in the game.

>>174324720
I love this image. Just wanted you to know.

>>174324747
Quiz questions? You mean from one of the NPCs?

If so then yeah, that is very odd that they would do that. Perhaps Shadow and Knuckles were in the game but got cut late into development for whatever reason?

>>174324817
It's pretty cute, yeah. I like pictures of characters in their down time doing mundane shit.

>>174323754
For Angel Island, I presume it just continues to drift the appropriate altitude above whatever planet-slab it happened to be hovering over at the time.
For Knuckles, he's more of a Master Emerald guy than a Chaos Emeralds guy.

>For Angel Island, I presume it just continues to drift the appropriate altitude above whatever planet-slab it happened to be hovering over at the time.

Well if that's the case, wouldn't it technically be in space since the planet pieces blew outward from the core a pretty sizable distance? It's too fucking early to contemplate this shit.

Really though, I dunno. I guess either way the point was it was weird how they didn't even bother mentioning it or showing it on the world map to some capacity.

>For Knuckles, he's more of a Master Emerald guy than a Chaos Emeralds guy.

Sure, but I would debate that a little bit because of the stuff he did in SA1 and 2 regarding the emeralds. I mean, I didn't say he was exactly an expert per se, but he is at least more familiar with them than most, and he wouldn't be a illogical choice for Sonic to go to for help early on into the game's plot. It would at least make for a nice comedic relief cutscene or something.

Isn't there a possible leak regarding Forces and a character creator?

>>174327581
That's more of a rumor right now. Sonic Runners Adventure on the other hand's a full blown leak.

>>174327817
What's with the Runners games being leaked. The first one got leaked too, though the leaker didn't know it was a mobile game.

That has always baffled me. The fanbase does a ton of things: fanart, videos, animations, remixes, new music, even hacks and fangames, but no one can translate the Japanese things consistently?

Show me your most prized Sonic possession. I know you've got one. Pic related is the first Sonic game I owned, surprisingly in damn near mint condition, which is lucky since I was a messy little shit. Case doesn't even have a single scuff on it.

>>174329565
You have to understand, Japanese is an extremely difficult language. More difficult than English, even. I took 3 semesters of it in college, and even I can only read it on a surface level.

>>174329704
The grammar is actually much easier than English. It's just that the reading is so damn hard.

>>174329565
probably because sonic is practically an american product. japs don't care about sonic, only the west does. sonic isn't an rpg, a moe-moe slut idol game, or a max-autism collectathon like pokemon or monhun. any announcements for a sonic game usually will come out in english first or at worst a day or two after a jap game magazine has covered.

Me and the family went through some old family pictures the other day, and one of them sorta jarred some memories from me. I remember we went to a carnival when I was around eight or nine, and I won a huge shadow the hedgehog plush. Gave it a google to find a similar one in size to post as an example.

Anyway, I just thought it was funny that one of the pictures we saw was of me sleeping in my large bed holding a plush of a giant edgelord scowling. Wonder whatever happened to it.

At least we know why I became so biased towards liking Shadow now.

There aren't many lewd furry games in general. Every one I've seen is played for humor.

Does anyone know what version of shadow the hedgehog is best for emulation? GC right?

>>174332076
Likely was the GC version.

What episode of Boom are we at lads? The site I watch it on has the latest episode as 'Unnamed Episode'. I don't know if that one is the newest or not.

>>174332076
I doubt they're too different.

GC is probably better than PS2 and Xbox is probably better than both but lawl can't emulate that.

Always GCN for Sonic. Better than the PS2 version and implying XBox emulation.

>“Sonic Mania” is a Sonic made by mania for mania! Producer Takashi Iizuka talks about the enthusiasm put in the game.

>Before March 2016, Iizuka was proposed a project by Sega of America to port 2D Sonic games, but he thought there were enough of them, e.g. ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ alone has multiple platforms already. Sega of America's opinion and his just couldn't compromise.

>Then, he proposed the idea of mixing new stages and remakes from the past to please the mania, which was accepted with great positivity.

>In this meeting, he wrote “Sonic Mania” on the white board in order to explain the game concept. To his surprise, these words continued to live through the project development and became not just a game concept, but the official game title.

>The word ‘mania’, meaning something like ‘enthusiastic’ or ‘being crazy for’, fits just right to the concept and catches the target people who are willing to play ‘Classic Sonic’ games of the Mega Drive (Genesis) era. It was the perfect choice.

>Christian Whitehead, the main programmer of this project, is the person who ported ‘Sonic CD’ to smartphones.

>“He was not employed at SEGA or anything, but he did it on his own and brought it to SEGA. Such a ‘maniac’ of a person joined our meeting in America all the way from Australia. There, SEGA and the dev team lead by Christian agreed to my proposal for Sonic Mania.”

>Before releasing ‘Sonic Forces’, the big title by Sonic Team in 2017, SEGA wanted to bring core fans back to Sonic. This is where the idea of 2D Sonic revival came from.

>”2D Sonic has the Classic Sonic series, Sonic Advance, Sonic Rush, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4. However, this time we're creating an original game along the lines of Sonic 1, 2 and 3. Sonic Mania is a game explicitly for the Mega Drive era’s Sonic fans. Normally, we try to create titles which as many people as possible can have fun. Sonic Mania is different; It's already a success even if it attracted Classic fans only."

>Iizuka wants the game to be even more enjoyable if the player already knows the stage well.

>“For example, the first stage of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’, the ‘Green Hill Zone’, has been played hundreds of times already. I’d like to put many surprises where those long-time players will say “What, that becomes like this!?”. ”

>It looks like there is already one ‘surprise’ in Green Hill Act 2’s boss fight!

>’Flying Battery Zone’ from Sonic 3 & Knuckles will also have changes from the original: running outside of the battleship, a room where scrap robots of Eggman are wasted, etc. These surprises made for fans who know past works are what they called ‘Re-imagined’ in the trailer.

>”It’s a game made for fans by fans. It’s like a Dojin-comic. A parody made by fans to please the mania. The spirit of the game is something like, "Wouldn't you be surprised if there was a huge underground lake under Green Hill?”

>On the other hand, there are brand new stages too. All the bosses are completely new, as well.

"The game may have a serious tone, but I think you will be able to see 'the heroic' action of Sonic and the (other?) resistance members!"

Completely humanized is the way to go.

>>174340332
Then it'd be better, but still weird. I don't tend to mind Sonic's stomach but that's because there's blue fur all around it, him being a blue hedgehog and all. If they're gonna have Rouge be a white bat there's gotta be more white fur.

>>174346509
>(he thought people would hate Mania)
No he didn't. He was surprised at the extremely strong reaction to it.

How ignorant is this motherfucker?

>>174345459
How can it be smart if it's not working?

Knuckles the Echinda is the Sans the Skeleton of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

>>174345246
Actually, Iizuka thought about making both new and original levels into the same game. It was SoA that just wanted more ports.

>>174346509
Except it wasn't his idea. That's the thing.

https://www.sonicretro.org/2015/02/regarding-sonic-3-guest-post-by-stealth/

>Stealth: "Personally, I had envisioned moving straight from Sonic 2 to Sonic 3 (& Knuckles) to complete the full trilogy, and then moving forward from there. I was (and still am) of the mind that “classic Sonic” should be revived as a separate branch of the franchise, running concurrently with the modern games from Sonic Team, and that this branch should be “true-to-form” as opposed to the changes seen in Sonic 4, using visual, gameplay, and design elements that mesh much more closely with the Genesis originals while still taking advantage of the modern benefits of looser color restrictions, blending, rotation, and otherwise greater processing power. I would have loved and would still love to be directly involved in the creation of this branch, and were I given the chance, I would exhibit the same care and quality that went into the existing remasters."

>>174348436
That's what I meant to say.

bumb

>>174346506

Cream's conception was to be the flight character for team Rose in Heroes, like how Omega was introduced as brand new.

Then they decided they could shove her in Sonic Advance 2 to get people more used to her before then.

The younger sibling role wasn't really given to her until Advance 3 for Amy.

>>174348664

That doesn't contradict what Iizuka said. They wanted more ports, Iizuka said no, but suggested something like Mania instead. That it so happens to align with what Stealth wanted in terms of having a classic line continuation is a bonus.

In Undertale, the Human is filled with determination and never gives up, and they have power over the timeline. Sans is lazy and borderline-apathetic and nihilistic because he lost a lot and gave up trying to do anything, and he has power over space, along with quantam physics space-time knowledge and awareness.

Jesus how bad are you at Freedom Planet that levels are taking 30 minutes???

I mean he's working on other stuff. He tweeted about finishing a layout the other day. He could just be messing with us for fun

>>174351985
Sounds like something you have to deal with then.

SPARKY I'VE MISSED YOU

NOW FUCK OFF

>>174345184
>then get attracted by one of their mainline books.

This is the one misstep.

>>174352256
The problem is you are reducing Sans and Knuckles to mere concepts. They oppose the player and that's it, which is shallow.

Sans is fucking lazy. He pranks Papyrus and makes bad puns that I laugh at.

Knuckles is all about responsibility, MUH MASTER EMERALD. He doesn't chuckle, and would rather flex his muscles.

Levels are very big and you end up going in circles a lot.

15-20 minutes a level + 10 minutes to finish a boss.

>>174352381
...I...I'm getting mixed messages here....

>>174351705
Is this worth downloading? I fucking hate GameXplain and I don't want to watch 20 minutes of someone dicking around the first level.

>10 minutes to finish a boss
The fuck are you are doing?

>>174353149
idk, I just find them hard. I'm too used to dumb Sonic bosses I guess.

>>174352810
Sparky, a thread isn't the same without you here.
But at the same time, the thread isn't the same without you here.

You get me?

>>174353215
Nope.

>>174353149
To be fair to him, the bosses in that game are bullshit.
A lot of them require you to learn pretty fucking fast. As in, the later levels are like two hits until death, and the bosses take forever to kill.
I spent fucking ages on that bastard grasshopper mech.
Out of my many complaints against that game, bullshit bosses are near the top.

He's saying you are cancer, but the fun kind of cancer that gets you into make a wish.

Fine, Sparky, I care about you as a person and hope your life improves from whatever compels you to write the things you write and believe the things you believe. I like the fact you obviously like the series, and obviously have gone quite in depth.
But I hate your weapons grade autism derailing threads, and your awful headcanons.

So I guess, you're impossible to love, but you're impossible to outright hate.
It really is true, without you, the threads don't feel the same. It's better without you here, but it's not the same.

Goddammit, why are you degenerates idolizing Blaze so much? She is the most worthless of the waifus with no appeal at all and no one can prove me wrong.

I would hate if you people started posting a bunch of Blaze pics in this thread, right now!

I see your game, anon.

>>174354330
Now we wait to see what shows up on the cancellations form this time

>>174354117
She's not Amy, anon.

195 days until the second anniversary of the first and last chapter of LHT.

>>174327486
Well I can't argue with that.

>>174354580
Infinite amount of days until the zero'th anniversary of LSC.

>>174354580
Thinking about LHT just makes me sad.

>>174354787
Wouldn't the zeroth simply be a World in which it did not exist?

>>174354330
>>174354413
>>174354541
This whole thing can realistically go on for years.

>>174354930
One might consider it to be the release date.

>>174354978
At some point, everyone will just stop caring.

>>174355020
I guess that depends on wether or not you consider its birth 'the zeroth.'

Fuck this
Fuck you
Stop cross-pollinating autism and get the fuck out for good this time.

>>174354978
I still think it all depends on if Fulop actually makes headway with his case. If so, I think the book is dead.

>>174355130
Sounds like Archie's endgame.
