in all seriousness though, you guys seem a lot better than a lot of generals ive lurked. plus sonic is held closer to me than anything else so im biased
im excited for metal sonic in sonic forces, though i know im probably going to be disappointed. lets just hope he isnt just killed off without second thought again

It's Metal Sonic's own fault that Sonic isn't dead

If Metal hadn't locked up Eggman, Eggman would have gotten a chance to activate Omega, and thus Omega wouldn't have rebelled against Eggman

Then Eggman would sic Omega on Sonic and Sonic would die

>>182565417
I have a bad feeling that Metal will be the first boss you defeat in Forces. Just like Generations.

>>182572629
It really sucks, because a Jak & Daxter styled Sonic could've been fucking amazing.

>>182572629
>Storyline wise, it revolved about Sonic origins: Sonic and a young Eggman were close friends, but during a time travel sequence Eggman messes with something at the past, breaking their friendship. Ancients were very important in this storyline, because they were related with Sonic’s origins. Eggman was once planned as a playable character but it was discarded. Tentative title for this was “Sonic Origins”
That would've been weird.

>TV show also helped destroy their original idea. A designer pitched Sega the idea of a Sonic Tv Show. It was unrelated to the game, but 8 months before the game launch SEGA gave total control to the show team to change the game, making big changes to the storyline and making Knuckles dumb. They also asked for a richer universe with lots of characters that were totally absent in the series, along with filler cutscenes and levels due to the storyline change. No info on the previous storyline was revealed, except that ancients had a huge importance there.
Damn, only 8 months before launch?

>Chao was initially included at the game, but later removed due to time and hardware constraints.

>Gameplay wise, asides for asking for more speed and less exploration, they also eliminated water moves. Initially, Sonic and friends were able to swim, but due to Sonic Team exigencies they made them die on contact with water in the final game.
>Design wise, many changes were made on the characters to make them more similar to “legacy Sonic” look. Several NPC characters had to be radically changed due to them violating Sonic Team design guidelines. One of them was Cliff, originally an inventor. Only Tails and Eggman can be inventors.
>Chao was initially included at the game, but later removed due to time and hardware constraints.
>There was a piggy bank gimmick, were you banked your rings to later use to upgrade the characters and weapons. It was removed due to the change of game focus.
>Wii U build was planned to include several gamepad gimmicks such as moving platforms with the touch screen and controlling a golem robot, but was discarded due to tech issues and time constraints.
>There was a bi plane level that was removed due to being too boring. You controlled tails to chase Lyric into the final level.

SEGA. Stop.

Seriously. Stop ruining things.

Stop.

>>182573142
>>Wii U build was planned to include several gamepad gimmicks such as moving platforms with the touch screen and controlling a golem robot, but was discarded due to tech issues and time constraints.

To be fair that sounds awful and even without the technical problems removing it was the right choice.

>>182573142
>make a completely non-canon spin off with it's own lore and characters
>still have to make it similar to the main series
What was the fucking point then?

>>182573295
Nigga I would take 10,000 giant golem robot segments over another "pre-ordained mach speed running strip" nightmare.

>>182572629
Big red button got absolutely fucked by everyone.

>>182573142
i fucking knew it!
SoJ DID sabotage this game!

>>182573142
>>182573343
I can tell you exactly what happened here. They told BRB that it was a spinoff completely separate from the main series, but SEGA knew they wanted it to be a new direction for the series to replace the main series. So they dictate all these changes so it at least FEELS similar to the main series, and BRB doesn't understand why if it's a spinoff.

It's like if Taito was making Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and SE kept dictating that it needed to have Chocobos and Moogles and turn-based combat and more story and less multiplayer.

>>182573475
And they had to take the responsibility. Moral of the story: don't try to help Sonic. Sega owns him, he's on the other side now, it's over. Soon you'll learn that Sega came down to the Mania dev studios and made sure the game would be a disaster to destroy even more baka gaijin devs

It's laughable how big a failure Boom ended up as a brand.

Right off the bat the game sucks and does badly, it's reputation likely caused the handheld sequel to sell badly as well. The comic gets canned quickly and a large chunk of the run is part of a shit crossover. The TV show is great, but CN fucks it over multiple times.

>>182573816
>It's laughable how big a failure Boom ended up as a brand.

If anything it's sad, it would've been nice to have seen a spinoff that took another angle on the series with western developers, it had potential but as always Sega likes to suffer from a sperg out halfway-through and ruin everything.

Sega and their awful deadlines are a big reason the Sonic franchise is so full of garbage.

>>182573343
It's funny. That's the exact reason I don't care for the reboot Sonic comics and prefered the old continuity warts and all.

>>182573816
I really don't understand what they were expecting, It's a bunch of ugly redesigns in an ugly world.

>>182574232
Well, they've seemingly have allowed extra time to both Forces and Mania, so they've given more leeway.

>>182573791
those guys know the drill and they are prepared for anything out side of sega just hoarding the game on launch not allowing it to sell.
(even then i am certain Headcannon would rather the game get open source then let sega let the game fail)

Boom was awful straight from the concept, both the product we got and the original version they pitch. I'd have rathered SEGA never have greenlit it.

>Traveler's Tales make Sonic games
>Sega's own incompetence forces them to give their Genesis game a rushed Saturn port, and means those games become the defacto headlining games for the Saturn, causing them to be judged more harshly than they otherwise would have been

>Bioware makes a Sonic game
>Sega fails to tell them which Sonic material they actually fucking own, resulting in most of the music having to get tossed and redone late in development, and causing Bioware's parent company to get sued

>Sumo makes some Sega games
>Sega cuts back on the funding so they need Danica freaking Patrick to fund it just to get the last one out the door

>Big Red Button makes a Sonic game
>Sega doesn't bother telling them what platform it's on until midway through development, rewrites all their character designs and concepts, and lets a bunch of comedy cartoon writers take control of it late in development

And this isn't even including how badly they dicked around Dimps, which I'm only not including because they're partially second-party. At this stage, why would any third-party developer work with Sega, other than to just launder the funding and release a cheap-ass piece of shovelware like Gearbox did to them?

>>182574232
I think the bigger problem is that they aren't willing to fucking commit to anything. Which is weird, because they commit to gameplay that's weird and experimental all the time. But story and art and even the platform is always fucking changing mid-way.

>>182574745
Sega is great with third parties.....not making sonic games.

>>182574428
They've made a point to say that they finally learned their lesson about that (Actually the head of SEGA changed to someone with half a brain if I remember correctly) and started to put having a complete game over having it out for christmas.

>>182574745
At least Traveler's Tales got a second chance and seemingly did decent with the LEGO Sonic thing.

>>182574745
Sega DID put Sonic in Lego Dimensions and it's already Better than any Sonic game in the last decade.

AND the better anniversary game.

>>182574428
By what? 20 extra minutes?

>>182574809
>Which is weird, because they commit to gameplay that's weird and experimental all the time.
Actually you're describing the same problem. Gameplay that's "weird and experimental" is a symptom that they're not willing to commit to the core gameplay and flesh it out, instead trying to disguise it with alternate gameplay styles and/or level-specific gimmicks.

When even Traveler's Tales fails, it means Sega is doing it on purpose. Their A Bug's Life license game was incredible.

>>182575259
The fact they didn't rush Forces out the door with the 25th anniversary was shocking.

>>182575067
Now if only they could get rid of Inzuka and his mario desires, seriously, the guy desperately wants to be with Nintendo to the point he's trying to turn Sonic into Mario never mind that Mario and Sonic are two completely different type of games. It'd be like giving Megaman to a guy who wanted to make Compile Heart games.

>>182575083
>>182575227
The main difference with Dimensions is that Traveler's Tales wasn't making a Sonic game, they were making a Lego game.

>>182575067

Hajime Satomi, the former head of Sega and founder of Sammy, who never even picked up a video game before he bought Sega, handed the reins of the company to his son, Haruki Satomi, in 2015, who grew up as a Sega fan and is rumored to be a big reason why his father bought the company, not wanting to see his favorite game company get picked apart in bankruptcy.

>>182575423
And it's better than Whatever Sega put in in the last 5 years.

>>182575275
You're probably right, but not committing can also just lead to weak core gameplay with no frills because all the frills were cut or scaled back (see Lost World).

Hey, they're the ones who passed the game off to interns who stole music from VG sites and still had the nerve to slap in a dick suck from Sonic and Tails as Omega spouted off memes, Sega and Bioware deserve equal blame for that shitfest thanks to them, unlike Silver, Shade will never be seen or heard from again.

Shadow's the one who drives them forward, but Rouge helps give them direction and keeps them together. They're more a team of equals.

>>182583670
He's not fat
Blame the rotting egg that got infused into him by this damn fourth Chaos emerald

>>182583670
Chili dogs are the missing factor.

Sonic was given super speed by consuming one, and his power is only kept up by eating them sporadically.

Dr. Eggman/Robotnik consumes almost six-point-o-five times as many chili dogs, therefore he runs faster--though his supply is severely drained by these acts. This brings into question a loop theory, that is, that Robotnik is fat because he must travel fast and he must travel fast because he is fat. It is a vicious cycle of no escape for the poor doctor, so thus he created this "Eggman" persona to deal with his own faults and the stress placed on him, a shadowy speed demon creature much as Rouge was created out of the desires of Knuckles to experience the feminine mystique in his life following the death of his mother.

Of course, figuring out how Sonic actually gets into the Death Egg should be trivial in 2017.

>One of them was Cliff, originally an inventor. Only Tails and Eggman can be inventors.

And this is just Sparky levels of autism. This reeks of ST just making arbitrary mandates simply to mark their territory and make sure the baka gaijin know the score. There is absolutely no other logical explanation for this and many other mandates.

BRB had a hard life, having to deal with Sega breathing down their necks to get the game out yesterday and Sonic Team's mandate retardation must have been a nightmare. I hope they go on to better things.

The first panel here is the very purest of Kino. Enjoy.
The second panel is a self described "lazy spinball" by Elson.
The third panel is very clearly a homing attack chain. Headcanon off, I assume a lot of comics and offical art had drawing like this where Sonic zips from badnik to badnik. Perhaps that was some inspiration for the homing attack in SA1. Not StC specifically, moreso franchise art in general?
The last two panels are from tonight’s hidden movie challenge: Star Trek First Contact.

>>182585848
I think, don't really know where. I've definitely seen the visual before, tho.

>>182584756
I want to say Rouge because she formed them, but probably Shadow, just because it's fucking Shadow. Rouge does what a woman does best in a primarily male group dynamic, cool the boys off when they start getting too rowdy.
I don't know much about team Chaotix but aren't they the only one where the speed character isn't the leader? Isn't Vector the one in charge?

>>182585848
Of note, how Sonic looks in the third panel is exactly how Shaymay portrayed his look in his version of the homing attack. Unsurprising but still interesting.

If he's from the UK, and read StC, then the design is from a Richard Elson how-to guide.
>>182585848
Also from the last panel, I really should take bets on what people think Knuckles' idea is.

The Death Egg interior is pretty faithful here. The central core partitions are missing, but the overall central cylinder, inner space, and color scheme is fairly on form.

Though I would again mention that imho Elson is under-balling the scale of the Death Egg, am I wrong here? The static backgound in Death Egg Act 1 suggested a vast structure, but what if it was originally meant to be a "rotating" background? Suggesting a smaller overall station?
Anyone have autism about this stuff? Please, share your thoughts.

Yeah, they put out Sonic Rush Adventure against Phantom Hourglass, and after disappointing sales decided it was the Rush series fault and not their scheduling,which is why all the handheld Sonic's have just been versions of the latest main series game since then.

>>182601517
the fact he's been reduced to a background character.

I think I just realized what the problem with Fist Bump is, The song without lyrics doesn't have any points where the music has a hard stop, the entire thing flows between instruments pleasantly.
But the lyrics don't audibly flow at all, a lot of the lines end on or feature a hard break in sound, ie
"No looking back,
You & I, we're on the attack."
"Running into the sunset."
"You are next to me and I'm next to you."
etc.
This might of not been a problem if the singer hadn't of put so much emphasis on the "tuh" and "kuh" sound when pronouncing words that use them, thus breaking the flow of the singing every time he does.
It's incredibly jarring to listen to, and I hope either they redo it with a different singer or drop the lyrics completely.

>>182601517
Literal alien.

>>182602005
Any suggestion for possible lyrics then?

>>182602005
The fuck are those lyrics about?

>>182601517
Honestly, his game. It's really fun.

>>182602210
To be fair, most song's lyrics in general sound pretty wack.

I'm working on what I would like to be the final version, 4.0, of the Dev kit. I know that work is going to be ramping up really soon and I would like you guys to be able to get to work without having to worry about upgrading to new versions every week, or so. Please give me your requests for what you'd like to see in this last version. Try to keep your requests simple as the point of this kit is to make level creation easier for you guys, not for me to make a whole game out of this.
If you're currently working on a level, an idea for one, or have just been tinkering, I'd love to see some screenshots.

cybershell makes videos again and it's his top 10 sonics video that gets a few million views.

I think this is the first time Sonic has had his mouth open in official 2D art since Adventure.
Still hate the Sonic X three spines though.

>>182603079
I hope someone uploads a video of it with good sound.

>>182602102
It's less a problem with the lyrics and more so how hard sounds are pronounced. Have you ever compared how the average woman from the US and the average woman from the UK pronounce the letter S? Same issue.

>>182603386
His Archie Sonic one got 350k, which surprised me.

Yet another reason Hesse is the best.

Sonic Revolution 2016 artists' challenge.

I wonder if RevolutionAnon is still with us.

>>182603567
It pleasantly surprised me, helped people at least be more aware of the comic.

>>182603349

Reminder that Aaron Webber is a massive faggot for taking so long to do the stream today.

>>182604994
It's weird how this only seems mildly autistic compared to some of the shit you guys have posted.

>>182605224

Stream last week, streams happen every 2 weeks, now leave this general.

>>182605341
Hed too big

>>182605198
You should be able to, yeah. All you should need to worry about is getting your own personal assets and scenes into the new version. It should be a simple copy-paste job.

>>182605297
Well no, I'm just making commentary on how desensitized I've become when something like super Robotnik doesn't seem offensively autistic.

>>182605424
Get off your retarded lazy ass and make a stream Sergio. I know for a fact its weekly.
