Eggman is still capturing animals to put them into robots. One of the Deadly Six shows up to fuck around with it so that the animals are enslaved under their control. Sonic interrupts the process halfway through. The result is a rabbit who was in the machine at the time ends up with permanently robotic legs and a left arm. She comes to terms with her new cybernetic status and decides to use her new abilities to help others. Gameplay is basically Mega Man in the Sonic universe.

Ignoring the edited script and censoring, the Sonic X dub was atrocious. It frequently played obnoxious music, got many details about the games wrong ("That used to be Chaos Control") since they didn't even play the games, and they even use Live and Learn in the SA2 adaptation.

People also forget about the F-Zero anime. It really is dope as fuck. It manages to blend being chill and high-octane races pretty well. Captain Falcon is also absolutely based.
It sucks that only Kinnikuman Nisei got dubbed considering the original series is god-tier.

But that can't really work in the games. While in SatAM and the pre-reboot comics, roboticization was used on both anthropomorphic citizens and non-anthropomorphic animals, in the games and rebooted comics, the animals Eggman uses are the smaller animals. In the reboot comics, it's mentioned that Eggman was testing a new approach for roboticization, so that might have been akin to SatAM, but as of now, we'll never know.

Bunnie just happens to be a bigger animal who gets captured regardless. The reason why I included the Deadly Six, much as I hate them, is because they did exactly what I described to try and enslave Tails, so it'd basically be the same thing.

First of all, it's mentioned that Tails' "roboticization" was done with Eggman's technology and his help, so he could do the same thing. Secondly, Tails was designed as a cyborg, whereas Bunnie's roboticization was interrupted, thus turning her into a cyborg. A more game-accurate backstory would be Bunnie being turned into a cyborg successfully and then gaining control of her body through one of Tails' inventions or something.

>First of all, it's mentioned that Tails' "roboticization" was done with Eggman's technology and his help, so he could do the same thing.
But he doesn't actually want to, otherwise he'd do it more often.

>A more game-accurate backstory would be Bunnie being turned into a cyborg successfully and then gaining control of her body through one of Tails' inventions or something.
No because then she's a different character. Having the process interrupted preserves that.

the Pokemon dub was actually pretty good for the first 20 or so episodes. With the exception of anything remotely violent (like misty slapping ash in the first ep) being removed and some of the music being changed they actually kept the dub very similar to the original. Even the episode titles were close.

I don't know what happened but at some point Ash and James' voices got higher, all the episode titles changed to bad puns, etc. It was like 4kids wanted to be careful and get everything right with the dub at first but once they realized they had a hit, they started Americanizing it (more than it already was) and stopped caring about translation accuracy

Well, she'd be different anyways. You can't translate everything. Plus you still have the whole angst about the robot parts thing.
>>
>>181652279
So why bother making things more different than they need to be? There's absolutely no scientific explanation behind any of: 1) how Eggman's robots are powered by animals, 2) how the Deadly Six were able to convert that into cyborgification, and 3) how the cyborg parts were able to be fully used by their wearer (in that case Tails) while still being able to be taken off in time for the next cutscene. So the games are perfectly free to make up an explanation as to how a rabbit can become a half-cyborg, or even leave it with no explanation as they have in the past. Keep it simple instead of being retarded with it.
>>
>>181652606
It's not that different. The Deadly Six/Eggman "roboticize" Bunnie, but Tails, being a tech genius, invents something that gives Bunnie control of her body. She discovers that she's a cyborg, and cue angst/butt-kicking. She can even have her personality and everything.

>>181651846
It isn't exactly untrue, though.

I want to take a Sonic level and put it in VR. Not as an actual playable thing, but just take the environment and walk around in it. Which level should it be, guys? Which Sonic level do you want to just *be* in? I've got a few in mind, but I can't decide.
>>
>>181653537
What's the difference? Bunnie gets captured, gets freed from said capture, has angst and recovers from it, kicks butt with Sonic and friends, and has her personality and speech patterns intact from SatAM and the comics? Is it really all that important that the process is interrupted vs. being completed?

>>181653667
Because then she'd be an ordinary citizen. She wouldn't have combat parts, since she's not part of a resistance or anything.

Because you're changing things for no reason when the changes add nothing and serve no purpose other than to make things different for the sake of being different. If I say "let's put Bunnie in the games" it means making Bunnie as accurate as possible with the only changes being necessary to be accurate to the games (for example, no Robotnik roboticization because that's not a thing in the games). If you're going to change more than what's necessary then just make a different character.

Every time they do a Sonic LP on their channel people turn everything they say into a meme and that's all we hear for months. I know everyone here hates SSMB, TSS, and Reddit but sometimes those are the only places to talk about certain pieces of news or whatever. It sucks having people come in and derail every conversation on those sites with game grumps quotes. It's also slightly worrying because Mania and Forces are coming out soon. Having 4 million kids hear "Sanic is poopy ass dicks fuck this shit sanic was never good" from their idol once a day for a few months isn't going to help Sonic's image. Mania's audience is mainly older fans but Forces seems to be going after a wider audience, e.g. people who aren't already Sonic fans. It also doesn't help that Forces and Unleashed both feature Boost gameplay and Arin is already ripping it apart.

Of course he did, he's awful at games, but there are also plenty of problems with Adventure that don't help.

If you're wondering why & how a Sonic general exists, it's simple:

1) Love for the series. Some of it is nostalgia, some of it is love for a series they've just discovered, but overall there's an appreciation for the Sonic series. Whether's they were introduced through the comics, the tv shows, the Genesis, Adventure or even the Boost games, everyone here loves the series & we come here to discuss our enjoyment of the good & our hatred for the bad. There's also the characters, music & other things we've come to love over the years as well.

2) The shit we've made ourselves. From our drawfags, to our writefags, to our fangamefags like GHPAnon, the guy who made Bump in Sonic 1, /sthg/ has created a shit ton of content for us to enjoy. GHPAnon even released a devkit so we can make our own Sonic levels in the style we want, which is insane.

tldr; This general exists because we love Sonic, we love talking about it & we love making shit for us to enjoy. Honestly speaking, this general is one of my favorite places on 4chan. When people aren't shitposting at each other, there's great content, fun discussions & good times.

Eh, the way I see it, Retro just have a specific topic they're dedicated to (ie hacking/development etc.) and they have the application process precisely because they don't want 13 year old rp'ers shitting up the place, so I can't blame them.

I could forgive Retro if they didn't already have no-talent people who just want to do discussion there, AND kids shitting up the place. They didn't adopt that elitist policy until recently (circa 4 years ago), but made no effort to purge any of the users who don't contribute, so they look like hypocritical assholes as a result.

It'd also be easier to forgive them if they made it crystal clear up front that it was an elitist community dedicated to hacking and development instead of pretending it's just like any other Sonic forum.

Otani's sound column's translated. Some tidbits:

>Vocals will be in every Avatar stage!

>Also, multiple singers, male and female, are participating!

Otani on Forces' music

>In contrast to the rock sound of Modern Sonic’s music, the Avatar stages' music has drum and bass/EDM-based, dance-like music as the main concept. With this, the coolness and euphoria that are characteristic of dance music, which are different from live band songs, can be expressed. Since it's a customizable character, I thought music that structured by combining different parts would fit, so I decided on that direction. Vocal part is not a full chorus, but adds in as fragments.

>Your impression of my music for the Sonic series might be fresh, high-speed pop or rock, for example, Endless Possibility or Rooftop Run. It's no wonder, since I made lots of music like that in my last work, Sonic Runners.

>However, I love techno/house/hip hop/drum and bass/dubstep/EDM and dance music, and I had been intensively creating such sounds for a very long time. I think all of the demo tapes I submit to Sega as an assignment for new employees included such music… Meaning,the soundtrack this time includes everything in my drawer!

>The Avatar is a resistance member who rose up from the general citizens, so this character is scared of being in a fight. Even then, one summons up his own courage and stands up against the enemy – the lyrics describes that mindset and, at the same time, tells the player to cheer up.

>The concept of stage music is different for each game. For example, in Sonic Lost World, I concentrated on expressing the "sound" of the level theme (grass field, desert, ocean, snow and so on) and the playful rhythm with the music. A light and casual soundtrack, you could say.

>On the other hand, for ‘Sonic Forces’ I am composing while having the story’s flow and the characters’ minds in my thought. Overall, the music is finalized in heroic and dramatic, heavy and large-scaled tone.

I don't know how to feel about this. I was hoping we'd get like full songs for these stages. I was also hoping we'd get at least one vocal song for Sonic but it's not looking that way.

>>The Avatar is a resistance member who rose up from the general citizens, so this character is scared of being in a fight. Even then, one summons up his own courage and stands up against the enemy – the lyrics describes that mindset and, at the same time, tells the player to cheer up.
Interesting. I was thinking he would just be a "you're supposed to project your feelings onto him/her!" kind of character or a even more generic version of Classic Sonic. I know stories/character development/etc. have never been a strong point of these games but I'm actually looking forward to having a "weak" character if this is the case. Most Sonic characters don't afraid of anything and walk right into danger without batting an eye. Even the younger ones like Cream and Amy. It's nice to see a character who might actually be scared of Eggman and his robots for once

>On the other hand, for ‘Sonic Forces’ I am composing while having the story’s flow and the characters’ minds in my thought. Overall, the music is finalized in heroic and dramatic, heavy and large-scaled tone.

Seeing as Forces is the first "serious" Sonic game since 06, and Iizuka said he is aiming to recapture the feel of the Adventure games, what are the odds of a character being killed off, ala' Silver and Shadow in the past games?

Could be one of the villains, or perhaps a good character sacrificing themselves. I'm honestly thinking Iizuka is intending to shock people by having a character die, but my money is on Zavok if it happens tbqh
>>
>>181670909
There's 0 chance sadly. It's still for kids dontcha know, and any consequences of the story will be undone in the end because status quo is god. Shame too, I'd love to see someone killed, like Cream. That'd be a real gut punch too, having a building fall on her or something

>>
>>181671083
Well Shadow was killed of for "real" in SA2, that was only undone because of fan demand to bring him back in future games. If Iizuka is truly aiming to recapture the feel of the Adventure games, I could see him repeating such an ending.

>Cream
Please no, that would hurt me real bad, it would be unjust as fuck, and she's my favorite, so pls no.

>>181671134
>Avatar
This is what I was thinking. Heroic sacrifice, and a reason why your character is never seen again in future games, so they can have new Custom Characters. (Or drop the feature altogether)

>Tails
I can't see this ever happening because Sonic & Tails traveling together as buddies is kind of the unbreakable status quo. But I have seen lots of people semi-jokingly talking about Tails dying in the game Where exactly does that idea come from?
>>
>>181671214
That actually sounds pretty interesting and I have no idea what story you're talking about.
>>
>>181671214
Technically the true ending of the game ignores that, and Iizuka himself supposedly said the true Hero path is the canon one.

Also the android story is the neutral path, which has a 3-mission-long revenge bro-op with Shadow/Omega chasing Eggman, storming his base, and then fucking killing him. I don't care what anybody says, this is fucking badass.
>>
>>181671424
Man imagine how pissed off people will be if their OC is killed off permanently. I know I'd be pretty sad if I got invested into the Avatar I created only for them to die at the end.
Furthermore, how would the ending handle that kind of death? Are we getting a full on funeral or is Sonic going to privately scatter their ashes into the river?
>>
>>181670909
Nah. To be honest, there's no real point in killing a character off since they'll likely be brought back by fan demand anyways, ala Shadow.

Besides, when Iizuka said they want to recapture the feeling of the Adventure games, he seems to make sure it doesn't go too dark, like Shadow or 06.
>>
>>181671502
It's the neutral path of Shadow the Hedgehog. Eggman convinces Shadow that he is no different to the rest of the Shadow Androids, and taking this pathway ends with Shadow never finding out that is isn't one of them.

The true ending to the game has Eggman confess that Shadow is real, Eggman salvaged him after SA2 and brought him back to life to use as the basis to reproduce an army of ultimate lifeforms.

I highly doubt Buddy will die. There's no reason for him to. He's not special like Shadow or Chip. Shadow was the ultimate life form fulfilling a promise to his dead best friend. Chip was just taking his place as light gaia. Buddy is just some rando who decided to fight back against Eggman. He's commendable, but not exactly special. I think at the end of the game, he's going to part ways with Sonic and just go home. He's a normal guy and not some wandering superhero like Sonic after all.

Well in heroes, all those androids appeared to be partially made of flesh. Even in the Shadow game, the androids look like Shadow, not like Metal Sonic or whatever.

The multiplayer mode even had actual robotic Shadows to play as.

So Shadow would need more than just blood to prove he is real, he would need a full examination or x-ray or some shit, something to prove he has actual organs. Given how old he is, he might not even know such technology exists.

Considering in the real world how to use x-rays to see inside the body was figured out around 120 years ago and the tech to create shit like the ARK has existed in Sonic's world at least 50 years ago I think it's safe to assume Shadow knows about x-rays.

>Not playing anything currently anon. What about you?
I recently download and played a bit of Kirby's Blowout Blast. Quite a good little game with huge resemblance from the first game, which I like it.
Now I will play Rush and finally end it. Extra will be TOO BLACK TOO STRONG great to play and end it all.

I have NO idea why everybody thought that dialogue somehow meant that Chemical Plant was a confirmed location. If a bunch of characters are already saving it, why would Buddy need to go there?

Oh, OBVIOUSLY its just set up for them all to be shown captured/defeated, and Buddy goes to save them!..... Nah. It just didn't sound like that to me, it sounded entirely like a nice reference. We just got chemical plant in Generations AND Mania. It doesn't have Green Hill Status, it's not going to be in Forces.

From seeing all the levels we've got so, it appears Green Hill is the Avatar's second stage, which I'm guessing will occur after Classic GHZ and the boss.
It's not farfetched that things could go awry at the Chemical Plant, leading Knuckles to desperately call the rookie back to save him and the others.

True, the comics are easily up for debate on how good they are, but it at least kept discussion on track.
The past few months have been hell for /sthg/. Sparkposting, shitposting, Shadow shouldn't care, Sonic is a dick, Boom should die etc etc.
Shitty officially licensed fan-fiction kept us going. What if we have another drought in between Mania/Forces and the next game? We're gon' die out or watch ourselves become worst general.
Who am I kidding, we're becoming dbz general long before we die.
>>
>>181673996
I just think it's weird because this is the same man that's played such a big role in the Adventure games, Heroes, Shadow and 06. You'd think that he'd stop the bullshit that was Boom, you'd think he'd stop the shitty twitter account, you'd think he wouldn't be responsible for the dumbing down of the franchise since 2010. Doesn't it occur to him that he's butchering the fuck out of this franchise for people who don't care about it to begin with? Why can't he just pander to real fans like me? Fuck everyone else.
I legitimately want to sit down and have a talk with this man.

One of the Game Grumps voices a character or has a cameo. Barry was on one of the official streams recently. Aaron sent all those cupcakes to Arin. He always tweets to GG all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if something happens, though I really hope nothing does.

The game gets rushed towards the end to meet that holiday release deadline. It's not as glitchy as Sonic 06 or Sonic Boom but it's clear that none of the higher ups gave a shit

The game actually has an incredibly lighthearted tone, even moreso than Colors and Lost World despite all the interviews saying otherwise

The PC version gets cancelled at the last minute for no reason

I agree, this man doesn't understand which direction he's taken this series in (or chooses to ignore it) and as a result the series has no proper identity as well as a very fractured fanbase. Speaking of which, he has no idea what a lot of fans want judging from his reaction to the Mania reveal. I don't hate him nor do I want to blame all this on one man, but as it stands he is stirring the shitpot.

I'm really curious about how he really feels about where the franchise has gone and is headed to, and what was his part in that. I obviously don't believe what he says in interviews and other PR events, but I can't help but wonder if he really believes he's taken the right decisions, or if he regrets them, or if he had no other choices because of upper management decisions or other causes.

That's a rather unusual and different face. Looks like he had more detail on its facial features before his debut, such as his eyebrows and how he had iris on his eyes.
And he had gloves and boots. That's funny, considering he wasn't wearing any gloves or boots for a long time until after the reboot.

I didn't mind the pinball physics in Adventure because they never really endanger you in any way. It was also quicker/more fun to purposefully lose so you could go through the garbage chute to get the needed rings.

The pinball physics in Heroes were frustrating because they're unavoidable and can send you to your death. When you expect to be launched upwards, sometimes you get launched in an arc instead, sending you flying off the pinball board. You also can't see where you're going sometimes because the camera angle changes. At least with Adventure it's fixed and zoomed out.

So why exactly are the comics so beloved?
Just give me a reason to get me interested in them.
>>
>>181688341
In general, they do more with the games cast and setting than the games do (reboot continuity does this,mostly) while also having some original characters and settings.
>>
>>181688341
Ian showed up early 2006 when the games started really going to shit, and made the comics much better in terms of being action-adventure comics with fun and interesting but not overly complicated characters. With so many game characters getting completely shafted since 06, the comics became a really good source of really good characterization and fun moments for fans of other characters, and pretty much single-handedly salvaged some characters like Silver.
>>
>>181688341
People mostly like the characters, interactions & stories. Personally I didn't really get into the comics heavily until the reboot, but the reboot had a lot of fun stories & allowed characters who are normally put to the side some time to really shine. Also featured some of my favorite versions of Knuckles, Amy, Eggman etc. Basically >>181688503

That wasn't a flaw, that was butchering her character. Rouge may be greedy, but she doesn't take it too far. Play Sonic Adventure 2 and some of the games after.

Rouge pre-Ian was a generic bad guy. Shadow telling her to stop being a shit was character development to get her to act like her game personality. Same with House of Cards taking Sonic and Tails and resolving previous shitty personalities so they could get past it, the issue with Gamma and Omega resolving the fact that Gamma wasn't killed off in the comics while he was in the games, and that one issue with Shadow getting over his Muh-ria issues because the comics never adapted Heroes and Shadow until post-reboot.

I felt that Hope hindered Shadow's development, even if Heroes and ShtH were adapted. He basically sees her as a Maria stand-in. So at the end of it, he wouldn't get over her as long as Hope is around.

Do you like rail grinding as a mechanic? Regardless, how would you make it more enjoyable?
>>
>>181694034
I'd take an Advance/Rush approach where they're basically a method of pulling off tricks. I like SA2's Tony Hawk-style approach to grinding where you had to maintain your balance, but at the same time I feel we could make it even more like Tony Hawk where Sonic does different types of grind poses depending on how you stick the landing.

I am fully aware that its just a game.
>>
>>181694034
Grinding is fine, and I like how it worked in Unleashed the best, since it took the guesswork out of having to hit a rail and keep your balance. That said, gaining momentum on rails as was possible in SA2 should be brought back, I loved the idea that Sonic/Shadow could hit some insane speeds using rails and jumps.
>>
>>181694034
It sucked in Riders. There was no reason to use speed characters.
>>
>>181694034
A combination of how it works in SA2/Heroes (more SA2 since Heroes has a hard cap on speed) and the boost games. Need to balance to go faster which makes it more engaging and skill-based but you stick to rails harder and can switch with L and R like the boost games.

you shouldn't watch game grumps at all unless it's an episode with Jon or Dan during his first year, Steam Train, or you are 12 years old. I don't know what happened with these guys but the channel seriously went downhill at some point. I remember when they would at least give the games a chance. Nowadays anything that's an RPG or 3D and not Mario or Dark Souls, Arin immediately hates before even playing. It's even worse with Sonic because he keeps trying to recreate the magic of their infamous Sonic 06 LP. Add in the fact that most of their new episodes seem to be nothing but fake rage, poop jokes, and the "suuuuuckkk my diiiiick lol" song, I don't know how anyone could enjoy the channel anymore.

>>181691912
It's bad form not to point out why.

I'm not that anon, and I think the comics have flaws and sometimes overdoes certain characters, but preboot (under Ian) and reboot (a lot better) just expanded on the characters, not wrote them ooc.

Like, Shadow is an angsty alien hybrid in the games who joins Team Dark and likes ribbing on Sonic. In the comics he's the same, but also has doubts over his purpose, is kinda married to the job, and cares more about his friends.

Omega in the games is a destructive superiority complex who likes beating Eggman's machines, but has something in him which makesx him stay with Rouge and Shadow.
In the comics it turns into a bro-relationship with the trio, and the superiority complex goes to 11.

Rouge is a spy femme fatale who manages to keep the team together, a massive lady boner for jewels, and a cynical attitude mixed with her flirty nature.
In the comics she has all that, but (apart from Rouge letting Blaze's world die, I think the comic does have flaws too, especially preboot), she cares about Knuckle's opinion enough to give him a chance, she knows Shadow well enough to bitch at him for being an idiot, and is a lot more focused on her mission than the other two, making her the "Boss" of most missions.

I mean, I realise making the characters important at all is somewhat ooc these days, but not being able to see that these characters are just exxagereated or extended personalities rather than ooc boggles the mind.

However, enough with the autism, I have work at 9.
I don't want to go.
>>
>>181688772
>oc donut steals
Like every single adaptation of Sonic. The Mayor from OVA etc.
>Out of character
Please give me one example where a character doesn't act like they should (reboot, mind you, before we get on to Jesus Knuckles)
>SaTam junk
Well you got me there. If you didn't like Satam it'd be a bit hard to relate to the characters.
>Waifufaggotry
True
>Memes
I think those were kept mostly to Boom y'know.
>Literal who character
Like what, Honey Literal Who or Echo the Dolphin literal who. You find me one adaptation of ANYTHING that was also good, that didn't add a few additional characters.
>Eggman is edgy
Well I mean, in Adventure 02 he was pretty edgy. He was straight up willing to shoot a 12 year old girl in the head while also jettisoning a 16 year old guy into space to explode. I think he has the capacity.
>>
>>181657226
I don't give a shit about their opinions. The only thing that bothers me is that they might influence little kids that watch their streams into not buying Sonic games.
>>
What is with these people here that are acting like the Game Grumps are some super dangerous threat to the success and integrity of Sonic? Yeah, they're obnoxious faggot retards, certainly, but there are people in this general that get so upset and almost worried everytime they do something.

There's always someone who's so damn upset about Aaron and the social media team making Game Grumps jokes as well. Shit like "why are they being friendly with the enemy, they gave them cupcakes instead of the REAL SONIC FANS"

Do you seriously think Arin has some fucking vendetta against people that like Sonic? Like he goes out and beats up people at conventions or something? Those tards don't influence any decisions made by Sonic Team in the slightest, stop with the fucking paranoia. I wouldn't know about any Game Grumps shit if people here weren't always posting it and saying stupid shit like "they're gonna give Arin a voice cameo in Forces"
>>
>>181705530
because they are. they have a huge viewership of impressionable kids and they shit on everything because '06 was bad.
>>
>>181705618
And do you go among children then? Of course kids like dumb shit. Who cares in the slightest if people like them don't like anything about Sonic? It doesn't "damage his image" or anything, the games are still being made, and being made by a team that has no idea about e-celebs.

Game Grumps are annoying & I don't get why Aaron gives them attention, but yeah, I do agree that it's dumb to think they'll be able to harm the Sonic brand. It's been what, years since GG started memeing about Sonic & Sonic games, and how has the franchise been affected? The franchise still has a ton of fans worldwide & it continues to gain new fans with each year. Sonic has survived 06, survived Rise of Lyric, survived being the butt of jokes for a decade & has continued to build a fanbase of kids, teens & adults the world over. I highly doubt the thing that'll kill the Sonic brand will be Egoraptor telling shitty jokes about Sonic.

Making him a villain again kinda feels pointless, like they're abandoning his heroic arc, and thus his resurrection was all for nothing

Seeing as he has barely been in the games, and hasn't been playable in over a decade, it's certainly not impossible that they brought him back for one last shabang, before they kill him off like he was always intended.

I'd respect Iizuka more if he had the balls to go through with something like that, after how he went about Shadows resurrection and title game in 2005.
>>
>>181716876
Shadow's too popular to kill off. In fact I'd wager money on him switching sides when you beat him, though he might not say it outright expect him to show up at the final battle to tell Sonic he's got this and then do nothing else.

The Sonics will no longer release rings upon being hit. There will be an animation of the rings leaving the actual counter, but they can't be touched. The OC will have the rings leave him like in other games, however.

They basically pulled a Colors and removed base abilities in order to repackage them to you in a special snowflake way.

If the comic book nerd route is the one you're going to take, just read them online and keep those in pristine condition.

>>181730094
I think I'm leaning more toward opening them since the sonic and mega man comics are the only ones I've ever even remotely been interested in collecting and since I got them so cheap they won't increase in price by that much right? Plus I'm a physical book over digital kind of guy so I won't really go for reading them online.
>>181730326
Problem is I tend to re read comics cause I own very little else to read so whenever I'm in the mood ill pick one from the pile for some quick escapism. But I suppose you make a point anon. I'll see how much they cost at my local place.

I love the comics and the corny story from Adventures and even the Black Knight bullshit, but what are you saying and how can you stop saying what you're saying.

It has a loose plot centred around the trio and Eggman, what else do you need from a game inspired by loose plots centred around the trio and Eggman?

These comparisons are great. Iizuka only listens to reviews and not fans, so maybe this will finally get him to stick his head out of his ass.
>>
>>181739534
>The first complaint they have for Forces is "muh shitty friends" meme
Out of all the issues you could bring up regarding Forces (mainly regarding Classic), that's the first one they bring up? That being said, I can't really blame them for comparing Forces & Mania. While the Modern/OC gameplay & Mania gameplay are going for two different things, the Mania gameplay & Classic Sonic gameplay are worth comparing, since they were trying to go for similar styles. All the more reason Classic in Forces was a mistake, imo.
>>
>>181739895
>the 'Sonic's shitty friends' meme and not the cancerous need to stuff multiple different games in one

Oh joy. Can't wait for Sonic Team to replace everyone with a different Sonic so that they can continue their mistakes.

OH WAIT.

>>181740118
I really do hope that Tails and Knuckles in Mania will finally counter this meme, and show people it's the multiple game-play styles and not the characters themselves.

Or at least anyone more competent than Arin.
>>
>>181739895
If I'm not mistaken, Aaron said that SEGA's listening to fan feedback more now than ever. In all honesty, I'd rather Iizuka listen to fans than reviewers, since fans actually give a shit about the series. Also, the fact that article claimed that Colors & Gens were the only good Sonic games in the last 20 years is more than enough for me to not take that shit seriously.

>>181740417
This. Hopefully, SEGA doesn't listen to those sites & listens to the actual fans.
>>
>>181740417
>it's the multiple game-play styles and not the characters themselves
But that's wrong.
>>
>>181740417
I didn't mean that. The interviewer is a huge asshat with a ton of awful opinions.

But I mean mainly if Iizuka sees a bunch of praise for Mania and panning for Forces, something may finally click in that empty head of his that his Sonic games aren't up to par.
>>
>>181740667
How is the reverse true?
>>
>>181740706
Personally, while I am looking forward to Forces & Mania, I do hope Iizuka sees the criticisms fans have for Forces & understands it. I hope going forward, we stop seeing the inclusion of Classic Sonic, Wisps in games that don't need them & an improvement of the Boost formula, should that be the main style of future 3D games.

>>
>>181741042
No one's saying all journalists are bad & hate Sonic and even the people who are looking forward to Forces have their problems with the game. But, the points he's brought up are nothing new or special in any way & have been discussed ad-nauseam here.
>>
>>181740952
Sonic is an unlikeable douche with no origin story or motivation to speak of. Other characters are what make this franchise worthwhile. Characters like Knuckles, Shadow or Vector aren't fun to play as because they offer different gameplay, but because they're actually interesting unlike Sonic.
>>
>>181741042
>not to mention he brings up decent points from what he played
He really doesn't. His opinions aren't coherent at all and his points on Forces are very shallow. He repeats "it's just bad" like 5 times because he doesn't actually have a concrete complaint.

And no, I'm not defending Forces. I think it looks bland but I can actually articulate why being an actual Sonic fan.

We know this will never happen, if anything if Forces flops and Mania gains success it'll more likely result in 3D Sonic being removed completely with sub-par 2D platforming. With MORE Green Hill Zone
>>
It's so hard to be optimistic about future games since, with each installment, they never learn what works but keep in what doesn't. Like, these games have the potential to be good, but the teams never actually put in the time to get rid of the unnecessary bullshit.

One step forward, two steps back, it's like Sonic Team doesn't know what they're doing. Which is obvious to everyone else.
>>
>>181738819
I guess to be fair, if it wasn't SMBZ, it would've been Smash Bros.

I was watching a lot of Mario sprite animations during that time and it wasn't until after seeing the flashback sequence from the fourth episode that I became interested in playing through the Sonic games.

It wasn't my first exposure to the franchise (I've played the Genesis games and Adventure 2 at friends' houses and saw a couple episodes of Sonic X before then) but it was what got me into it.

>>181740706
He'll more likely just see it as Classic Sonic does better than Modern Sonic and we'll end up getting more games with Green Hill rehashes and no secondary characters and all that shit.

>>
>>181742002
In all honesty, I don't even agree with the idea that every game he looks over turn out to be shit. But I do agree with >>181742487 in that they have a huge problem with keeping in shit that didn't work. Classic Sonic, Green Hill rehashes, Wisps outside of Colors. There's no reason for that shit to be in Forces, but since Iizuka is so obsessed with keeping them in, the stick around while things people actually want aren't usually guaranteed to stick around. Forces looks good, but I think people would've been much happier if shit like Classic & GHZ were left in Mania.

>This meme again
Sonic's the only worthwhile character because he's the only one that gets shit done AND doesn't have a retarded backstory or overly convoluted motivation outside of "I gotta stop Eggman". That's all you need, because any attempts this franchise has made at being more complicated have turned out awful
>>
>>181743054
Sonic Team seem to have a penchant for keeping stuff like Classic Sonic and Wisps because either it worked last time or "nostalgia", while simultaneously throwing in a new gimmick like Avatar and Wispons to spice things up.
If this were any other developer's work this stuff could be well recieved, so as much as it pains me to say it, it's probably Sonic Team's inconsistency and quite possibly incompetence (on the level designers' part mostly) that's the common factor throughout the Modern games' history.
>>
>>181743615
The only way Iizuka will not be head of Sonic Team is when he gets promoted and takes that promotion because of japanese honor.

Classic Sonic isn't even the only cute character in the series. Also, that last part was just rude.
>>
>>181744517
>Mania is gonna have a story, tho.
Hopefully only in the digital manual or an ending cutscene
>>
>>181744656
Nope. It's gonna have a story, it's just that the cutscenes will be similar to 3&K. That's already been confirmed.
>>
>>181744313
The cute factor is pretty valid what with the merch potential, but the thing is Classic Sonic coupled with returning stuff like Green Hill gives the (false?) impression of Sega chasing the nostalgia bucks.
I'm willing to go with world building as a reason for seeing GHZ again, but it's generally a bad idea to put that much faith into Sonic Team. Nonetheless, we'll see if Forces handles those returning stages like in Generations.
>>
>>181743839
What do you expect when Sonic isn't really that strong of a franchise. Every game that's come out in the past 15 years has really obvious flaws that some people can really not look past. Point to me a game that doesn't have any glaring flaws with the full game in the past 15 years. You probably can't.

Best posts I've read all day concerning 3D Sonic, and they're STILL about hoping SEGA/Iizuka gets their shit together someday. I need a drink.

Even sadder is knowing SEGA could've gotten 3D gameplay with other characters right YEARS ago, but they just made really stupid decisions and now they think it can't work.

How I see it, is that if Tails and Knuckles were able to run at (or at least extremely close to) Sonic's speed in the past, why on god's green earth can they not now? I'm looking at 06 AND the Adventure series, they're both guilty, respectively through sluggish and shallow gameplay or by having completely different gameplay styles and objectives.

Stay with me, I get it, the franchise mascot must go fast; that's Sonic's thing. But we also know that it's just as much about platforming as it is speed, and the two factors should be able to blend seamlessly. Sonic can keep Boost, it works in 3D, that's his thing. But Tails and Knuckles could work JUST as well in this engine, if there were enough dash panels around, they weren't laughably slower than Sonic, and if they had unique paths only they could use--like the flight rings for Tails and destructible environments for Knuckles--that DIDN'T kill all your momentum to a slugs pace should you ever use them. They could lead to segments of the level that were different from Sonic's in both aesthetics and platforming as it would be tailored to the character's specific abilities. With the hedgehog engine, I'm sure they could have Tails and Knuckles use their abilities in a way that doesn't slow down gameplay and make it less exciting than Sonic's. If the moves have a bit of cool down (like the boost gauge) then SEGA wouldn't have to worry about players spamming flight or forever throwing out fast moving hitboxes to make the gameplay brainlessly easy.

All right, done. And hey, while we're talking about hope, maybe Forces will actually be good and help pave the way for something like this.
>>
>>181746516
Let's just hash out an idea or two. Tails' flight could act like the Burst Wisp while Knuckles can dig underground like the Drill Wisp. Not so sure if his wall climbing should be retained though unless his levels are designed with exploration rather than speed in mind.

Another reason why Classic Sonic is not Retro Sonic
>>
>>181746516
Tails was perfectly fine in SA1 and Japan wanted him to be in SA2, back when it was planned to only be Sonic, Knuckles and Eggman. Then he got stuffed into a mech.

Adventure 1 did multiple playstyles better than later games and it's the same game that gives us fucking fishing.

The OC in Forces is Sonic without the Boost, so I'm hopeful that Sonic Team may have finally gotten the memo.

>>181747269
I think all levels should keep a combination of speed, platforming, and exploration in mind.
>>
>>181747838
>Adventure 1 did multiple playstyles better than later games and it's the same game that gives us fucking fishing.
That's probably because everything was "platforming at various speed + special ability"

He was practically made to be put into plushie form.

Shadow does a Chaos Blast, and decimates everything in a 5 meter radius, or so. Sonic decides to do a Chaos Blast one day, and the entire planet is destroyed, along with reality itself, with a ton of energy left over afterwards. And then he wonders what would happen if he did it while Super, or what would happen if he completely let loose and used his full power while doing. Shadow would need to take his limiters off for that.

That is the difference between Sonic and Shadow.

He was always supposed to be both, but since Adventure he became more cool than cute, and when Generations came round Classic Sonic became the cute Sonic. They're both cute tho

I think the person's name that I remember was Madeline Schroeder.

>>181749897
>>181750151
Sonic was originally supposed to be in a band and have a human girlfriend named Madonna along with the original design seen here: >>181749897. However, a design team from Sega of America led by a Madeline Schroeder softened the character by removing these elements. Sonic Team had an issue with this, however Naka has admitted that it was for the best.

Probably the only thing SoA did right.

Well, the assface redesign probably went over better with American kids than the original design would have at the time.

Depends on how popular your channel gets.
>>
>>181751125
How much momentum? Game Grumps has 3.9 million subscribers gained in 5 years, probably only because Arin, Jon, and Dan are popular with a variety of audiences outside of Game Grumps. It could take a decade and a half for you to become anywhere near as popular as them.

I was going to apologize for acting like a retard, but I have researched for a bit before that.
This can explain why I don't remember seeing the Rotor design you posted. Pic related is the Rotor I remember seeing back at the time I was a kid. When its season 2 came out, he got a redesign, and this must be where I stopped watching the cartoon so far for whatever reason I can't remember. Maybe I was into Mario instead Sonic, I dunno. That's why I assumed the Rotor you posted never debuted.
By the way, now that I'm seeing it, his redesign looks better outside of his kind of uneasy and odd eyes with that iris.

I never read the Archie comics and that's true (and I'm a idiot because of that, and that's also true), but I can safely say that I did watch SatAM sometimes when I was a little kid, thanks to my father who always brought up some cartoons on tapes he thought I would like them. SatAM was where I first meet up with "Boomer". I also watched Sonic Underground and AoStH too.

>you walrus waifu faggot
I thought Rotor is a guy?

>>181687946
>One day I'll try to watch and read everything, even again but I have a feeling I'd just forget most if not all of it again.
I actually like this kind of sentiment you're worried about, at least when it comes to games and cartoons for me. This kind of feeling is the best, where you go back in the past, find that thing you always played with to wonder why was it so great, and rediscover it. I absolutely love it when it happens. For instance, I never realized how blatantly great is Rush's soundtrack as a whole until recently, nor did I thought how fun it was to rack up tricks and always go fast and be skillful. Goddamn, I couldn't get over how great is the game on everything (outside of the physics).

Fine, as (mostly) always. Thanks for asking.

It was confirmed we were actually getting cutscenes? I know there was that Hesse leak a while back, and then the trailer which Hesse animated, but I thought the whole "cutscenes that are animated" thing was still just rumors.

Iizuka confirmed in an interview that Sonic Mania's story would be told like 3&K's. And, in another interview, Aaron confirmed that Mania would not have animated cutscenes. However, it is still possible, though improbable, that Mania will have an animated intro/outro like Sonic CD.

I'm going to be honest, as someone who was perfectly content with Adventure, I have no idea what the fuck went wrong with that playthrough. I was just genuinely confused. They were glitching through walls and floors and shit in the first fucking level. I never once had that problem in Emerald Coast during my 5+ times playing through the game. Honestly the only thing I could conclude was that it was because they were playing an older version or something.

Guys help, I'm stuck here. Whenever I get to the other side of the loop, Sonic stops and looks at me. Then he says "I'll kill your mother if you don't help me stop Robotnik." Then I lose control of him as he kills himself. But whenever I start the level after losing that life, Sonic just becomes slightly slower. Once he got so slow, I couldn't even make it over the first hill.

How do you people play this game? It's so boggled down with weird mechanics that I don't understand why they would be put into this piece of junk.

I just completed Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean machine for the first time.

there's a mechanic where if you create a combo/s grey beans fall on the opponents side, thus hindering them and bringing you closer to a win.

basically there's an tactic where you build up beans on one side, the goal being to set up a stack of beans that could be taken down in a combo.

I was trying this tactic to beat dr. Robotnik but I just one suddenly before I could get a few combos going. I think the AI might've derped.

>>181767496
I can't imagine it was in the manual, but Knuckles' familiarity with the geography of the island, sometimes extremely intimate familiarity as seen here, is just the right fit for the character. Again, taking the idea of Knuckles as Guardian leads to this kind of narrative territory, linking his digging abilities to a preternatural affinity with earth and rock. Even something like his ability to sense the emerald comes across naturally in such a framework, but it's the Guardian role lends deeper meaning to this kind of ability, rather than Knuckles just being "good at digging".
By the way, did early Archie and/or OVAs explicitly note that Knuckles was good at digging? I don't recall it being explicitly mentioned in the manual.

Less of an immediate fit here is Knuckles being prepared to literally cast off entire pieces of the Island -- albiet parts "tainted" by shameless commercialism.
Maybe the point here is that Knuckles can be this uncompromising, or ruthless, or powerful? But it doesn't jive to well for me with his role as protector. Maybe I'm reading too much into things.
Or maybe the island regrows bits of itself periodically anyway.

One thing I will critique Elson for in these strips is a tendency to under-estimate scake, The island here clearly can't be more than two kilometers or so wide. There are similar problems with the Death Egg. It's odd since he carried sense of large scale and distance so well in the Sonic CD strip. A minor detail, but I like me some epic scale drawings.

We finish here on a "classic Knuckles" pose and appraisal. This is the serious Knuckles. A Knuckles with Purpose. For most classic-fans and probably Adventure-fans, this is the default Knuckles. This is who he is, a Guardian, to be taken seriously. It's a long way from the mostly hollow caricature we've been left with in recent years.
Even as Sonic Teams writing and direction of the characters has improved over the years, Knuckles' has been left by the dramatic wayside, his old core aspects and narrative potential forgotten.
I've ranted on this before, but as a big Knuckles fan (and I'm probably not alone among classic-fans there) it hurts to see Sega forget about the strong character and the indelible impression he made on his 1994 début.
