/fast/ - Sonic the Hedgehog

fast

>>12039

Yikes. Guess it's clear Forces wasn't received well at all I guess. Makes me wonder why the fuck is Zavok still pushed despite what happened with Lost World

Ian Bumblekast Q&A

Q: I know I brought up Sonic Underground before but can we expect an IDW version of Aleena the Hedgehog to appear in the new comics.

>Not likely. Sega of Japan does not like acknowledging old spinoff material. Archie was odd in that because of an old contract with Sega a lot of things were allowed to slip in under the radar. IDW is developing a new relationship with Sega is too young to be that liberal yet, if at all.

Q: We all know Ian loves to work lyrics from Sonic theme songs into IDW, and I was wondering, if Whisper and Tangle had theme songs what would they sound like?

>Tangle's would be obnoxiously upbeat ska, something to have you bouncing off the walls. Whisper's would be close to "Calling To The Night" from MGS.

Q: Do you have stuff like game timelines, general lore, and world maps planned out for IDW Sonic? If so for the timeline part, how much does it differ from post-SGW Archie? Are there any games left out? Are any of them in a different order than before?

>Ian is approaching IDW Sonic differently from Archie. Less lore and plot heavy, and more adventure-to-adventure. Sega keeps a closer eye now and he has less latitude to make things up. He's tried to hammer out a world map for years but the maps depicted in the games are too inconsistent to make a reliable one. The timeline is more fluid now thanks to the Classic/Modern split. You can consider the modern games happening in order of their release and the events therein not being exactly 1:1.

Q: Curious to know which of the Supposed "Mandates" by Sega you actually intend to obey, since you've broken every single one you've mentioned in the past. You'd think SEGA would be pretty pissed at you adding characters to the lore who don't exist, as per their so-called "mandate"?

>Mandates are not hard and fast rules. They existed before Ian came on and he's ran into more because he wrote more. Cream and Omega could not be used for a time but then they could. "Sonic can't cry" was a reaction to the way he was being depicted pre-Ian but since then they were able to convince Sega to allow him to express different emotions. Doesn't know what questioner means by "adding characters to the lore who don't exist" mandate. It can also depend on who is doing the approving, with SoA being more lax and SoJ being more attentive and the time period. Everything goes through Sega so anything that is in the book is approved by them. What is approved can change book to book.

Q: I was sorry to hear you're not allowed to use TV show characters like Sally and Naugus in the IDW series But I was wondering: Would it be possible for those characters to appear in a different comic that takes place in a separate continuity from the main IDW series?

>Ian did not say that, just that Sega is not keen on them being reused. They would be a hard sell but not entirely impossible. For a side comic for old material to exist would require Sega's approval and a sizeable audience to demand and sustain it. Encourages people to get together and petition for it.

Q: What are your initial thoughts on Sonic's design for the live-action movie?

>*cough* *hack* *cough* ugh, bleh, why, WHY?! Ian wrote an article for the Escapist where he shows his thoughts about it. Concedes that this will likely be some people's first exposure to Sonic and they might like it and it might take off. Liked Detective Pikachu's depiction of Pokemon since they stay more true to the original designs. Going to still see it.

Q: If you could would you try and add dinosaurs or any kind of prehistoric animals in Sonic IDW?

>Ian has had dinosaur characters in his back pocket since Archie. Hasn't pitched them yet but has ideas for down the line. Has to worry if they would add something to the setting.

Q: My question is to know if you and the rest of the team like the idea to make more characters inspired by the ones from the Archie series. Like Starline?

>Starline wasn't intentionally made to be a successor of characters like Finitevus and Zachary, just probably inspired by them in that Ian likes suave manipulators with a slight technological edge. Is not planning to do straight up expies of old characters. Starline was more inspired by a game element, which has been altered and revised to the point it's no longer recognizable. He was intended to debut with two other characters which would have made the inspiration more obvious to fans but they were pushed back due to Year 2 plans.

Q: Were you satisfied with the lineup of the Eggy Six? (from Sonic Forces)

>Liked them in that they were a nod to previous villains, but wished they were used more. Didn't like how Chaos went down in one hit from Classic or that Zavok was the only real boss fight. Thought Metal Sonic being an illusion instead the real one was a neat idea

Also yeah, Infinite won't be allowed by SEGA for IDW appearances. F.

>>12043

Eh, I get the feeling this probably has more to do with them wanting to hoard the jackal than them feeling Forces was that badly received (independently of if it actually was or not).

>>12043

I think they had and maybe still have wants for the Zeti to be bigger players. I don't think it's working since I get the feeling most fans either don't care about them or see them as a joke considering their appearance in Lost World was pretty underwhelming. Won't stop Sonic Team or SEGA from trying, though. We should all know how stubborn they can be by now.

>>12047

it's stupid they're not allowed to use Infinite, probably because of Forces' reception, but the games keep shoving Zavok in everything when Lost World was just as poorly received

>>12049

I doubt it. Why would they want to do that?

>>12052

Not him, but if SEGA/Sonic Team plan to actually use him in the future for a return, it's possible they don't want him in the comic since it could contradict what they plan to do.

I don't think that's what's happening, but it is a possibility. I just hope they let off down the line if they have no plans and at least let the comic do something with him. Letting him sit and do nothing when the comics could easily do stuff with him if SEGA doesn't want to themselves is a waste.

>>12058

Neat

>>12062

>That IGN/Mania clip

Oof, that hurt to look at.

>>12063

Dunno why, but this style kind of reminds me o Sonic Battle's unique artstyle. Pretty neat, imo.

>>12065

Solid idea, pretty wonky execution.

Stigma about OCs aside, there's very clearly an audience for a game where you make your own Sonic character & SEGA was wise to tackle this in a game.

However, the CaC feature wasn't used to its full potential, what with it missing some species, not having a body slider & other things. It definitely helped Forces sales, but considering the game it debuted in, I'm not certain if it'll ever return.

My perspective on Amy's role in the series is unironic sincere optimism. She's the physical embodiment of those "live a life without regrets" quotes in various Sonic media. She's the Sonic fan who was never ashamed of it. She's the ideal hero to Sonic's anti-hero. Her name literally means "Beloved." On that note, if she doesn't have a signature gameplay style, lean on her acrobatic ability. Make her the Mario. The entry point for people who have trouble with Sonic, and a symbol of peace between the franchises. Sonic inspired her to become more athletic, and it resulted in better jumps more so than run speed. But she doesn't need Sonic to exist. She'll pursue Eggman because he's being evil. It doesn't need to be complicated.

>>12065

It was alright, though I have no clue for their plans on it in the future. I think it'd have to be executed a lot better in the story and to have more unique gameplay for it to keep being a main feature. If not, it would be a cool idea for party games/modes.

Side note: Something that weirded me out is that while there are a lot of animal characters part of the Sonic cast over the years, we've never really seen the general animal anthro population before. It's awkward.

>>12069

she handled his apparent death better than tails did

>>12070

Shame it seems their reactions were dramatically reversed compared to his other fakeout death in SA2.

I like Sonic!

>>12074

I haven't done anything Sonic related besides post here in the last two months

>>12077

I'm not a nerd for liking Sonic!

>>12075

Considering there isn't much going on with Sonic, it's understandable.

>>12069

>I wonder if she has autism, too

Well, she is a Sonic fangirl. And as we all know, sonic fangirls are usually c u t e

>>12079

Don't look at me like that, faker rat!

Why does Amy like Sonic? What value does she see in him? Why are people so hung up on Amy's hunger for Sonic's jock but never once ask why she ever would be?

>>12086

Do you actually not understand these things, or are you just being a rhetorical smartass?

>>12087

Do you know? This series is so inconsistent, I've given up on being sure of anything.

>>12088

Amy likes Sonic because she thinks he's really cool, and he saved her a few times. That's the extent of it. That's the only reason that's ever been given. People get hung up on it because, for the majority of the games, that's the only defining character element she has, a single gag that's just repeated over and over. It's why people praise Ian's Amy and Boom's Amy, because liking Sonic isn't the only thing those versions of the character have.

>>12090

She confronts Sonic over the bird and Gamma in Sonic Adventure. She outright asks him what his problem is. You don't say that to someone you love uncritically.

>>12093

Who whooped Sonic's ass?

>>12094

Tails

>>12097

Crazy Taxi & Jet Set Radio.

I know SEGA did some big poll a while back that had those IPs but it would be a tragedy if we don't get a new installment from any of those series' soon.

And NIGHTS coming back would be neat.

>>12097

After the craziness that was Defender of the Future, I'm not sure I want to see what else could come out of another Ecco game. They should definitely bring back Vectorman, though.

>>12097

Jet Set Radio for sure.

How would you rank the various Sonic cartoons?

>>12101

Personally:

Sonic OVA > Sonic Mania Adventures > AoSTH > Sonic SatAM > Sonic X JP = Sonic Boom > Sonic Underground > Sonic X 4Kids

>>12101

1. SatAm

2. OVA

3. Underground

4. Boom

5. AOStH

6. X

7. That Movie Garbage

>>12103

P.S. Mania Adventures does not count since it’s a web series…

>>12101

OVA > Boom > AoStH > X > Satam > Underground

>>12106

If he tripped, he probably was a dumb drunk hog.

>>12107

I’d say a stoner, or an acid casuality fruit cake.

He’s always been kind of a hippie.

A nudist no less…

>>12101

SAT. A.M.>O.V.A. (Both English & Japanese)>A.O.S.T.H.>Sonic X 4Kids>Underground

I've never watched enough boom to rate it, same goes for the Japanese version of Sonic x.

https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1088216039014318080

Neat

>>12108

Basically a tree hugger too.

>>12116

What a slowhog Silver is

>>12118

He'll never be fast. I bet it makes him sad.

>>12118

I kind of like him being one, at least the way it's generally represented in fanart.

>>12119

>>12120

Makes me wonder, tho: Is everyone in the future that slow, or does Silver just have bad cardio?

>>12124

Not everyone can be fast. Silver's probably just normal when it comes to speed, but compared to the current cast of colorful animals, he's the slow one.

How will Sonic die?

>>12044

RIP. He really had potential.

>>12126

One too many falls from space.

Have you ever savescummed in a Sonic game?

>>12130

If the Taxman versions that save after each act count, then I suppose I sorta did with Sonic 2.

>>12110

>no one's posted the first one, yet

>>12133

Good shit

>>12133

Pretty nice. I still prefer the Generations version, though.

So, what's your thoughts on the TSR soundtrack so far?

>>12138

It's alright. Some good stuff in it and I'm happy Jun is doing music for a game again.

>>12138

kind of disappointed. I don't like Hyper Potions' songs in it at all. They sound very generic. Sand Road is good. Green Light Drive is okay. Everything else just feels very bland to me

>>12138

I don't think it stands out too much. It's okay, but so far I don't think I've heard any tune that's made me want to come back to it, which usually happens with Sonic games.

>>12133

I like the more fancy instruments but I don't like how it feels like they made a few melodies take more of a back seat at points. Also recording quality is surprisingly great!

>>12145

Kek

>>12144

That's fucking cute.

We need another game where Sonic travels the world

>>12145

What happens if I go fast?

>>12151

I'd say a mix, but more like 75% throttle when I first play a level. If I can see something cool or an alternate route, I'll take it, but I won't really slow down much on my first go to learn it. Once I go back and replay levels, I take the time to learn them better.

>>12144

Didn't they do the same during the development of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Unleashed?

>>12153

I don't remember reading of them doing any traveling for Unleashed.

>>12161

>>12162

Yeah, some interesting wording there, but I suppose they are the most popular of the like 5 IDW characters so far.

>I wonder if this does well, will IDW do more mini-series' for other characters?

I would assume so. I'm thinking this is essentially a Sonic Universe story without them doing an ongoing Universe-like book. If it does well (or probably even if it doesn't), we'll see mini-series for characters that don't fit in the main book. I don't think there's enough characters and meat to the world to be able to do a full Universe-like book just yet.

>>12162

those covers are cool. I like seeing SIlver being useful. Maybe one day people won't hate him anymore

>>12164

Silver kinda forever is stuck with the 06 stink on him. Not sure he can ever get away from that.

>>12151

Depends on the map, but if it's good enough then all of them. Exploring is the most fun if the map is interesting and the music is catchy, so that's what I like to do the most.

>>12162

Is it just me or is the Platypus doing Infinite's pose?

>>12160

>first cover

Is that sum Rafa Knight?

>upcoming whisper and tangle mini-series adventure

Why though?

>Fan-favorites

>the newest and already most beloved Sonic characters

They sound really full of themselves.

>>12170

>Is that sum Rafa Knight?

Nah, it's Evan Stanley.

Tangle and Whisper do not deserve their own miniseries.

>>12174

It's not the choice I would've went for, but I'm not really mad about it.

>>12169

Never mind, it's more like Frieza's pose from Resurrection F.

>>12175

This. They can also use it to expand on their characters a bit more, which would be nice to see.

And even better if it leads to more miniseries' being done for other characters.

>>12178

Night, anon. May you dream of Sonic.

>>12182

is this the light of hope Sonic Forces was talking about

>>12184

they probably can't reshoot anything or redesign Sonic but they can still try to salvage his character. Maybe tone down the self-aware bullshit and memes. It seems like people are finally getting tired of those after that one tweet from the movie twitter about working out. It probably wouldn't be too expensive to get Sonic's VA to redo some of his lines. The movie will be terrible but at least Sonic himself won't be an obnoxious little shit. That's all I'm hoping for at this point

The Twitter's follower count has pretty much frozen at its current value.

>>12185

They can delay it for reshoots.

>>12153

I recall them wanting to do the same thing for Sonic and the Secret Rings but were denied.

>>12182

Wonder what they could possibly salvage from it at this point. The live action/CGI mix should've just been as a short like vid related or the Progressive Insurance commercial rather than an incorporating an actual narrative complete with Jim Carrey Robotnik.

>>12186

I guess they need to meme harder.

>>12186

I have to wonder what Aaron's logic is. Typically a social media account would want to promote its biggest fans. Like, Somecallmejohnny or Cobani or StephenKnux should be showing up. Instead, Aaron promotes Game Grumps, and other people who despise Sonic.

If this is supposed to turn the tide and get them to relax and start promoting the brand a little better, it isn't working. It hasn't been working for the last 4 years. And it never will. So why the shit won't Aaron reverse course?

>>12190

It seems clear the objective is to reach as many people as possible, hence him sucking up to the most famous people with the biggest amount of followers. Maybe when that strategy runs dry and doesn't yield any new gain (like now) he'll change to a different approach, but then again it's gonna be pretty difficult to paint the franchise in a good light, specially now with the coming movie.

>>12191

But half of that massive amount of people don't like Sonic and will continue to make it a laughingstock. Whatever social media strategy Aaron has been attempting the last few years, doesn't make sense.

I say this as someone who studied this type of shit in college which is why it drives me up the goddamn wall.

>>12190

probably because the higher ups at Sega are all older people in their 40s-50s who don't know how marketing in the current age works so they just let Aaron handle everything because he's young and is/was well liked. The self-deprecation/memes/etc. worked for a long time and he probably doesn't know what else to do at this point. If he started posting things that made the fans look good (outside Mania of course) then he'd lose the attention of people who just want to see the franchise make fun of itself. What do non fans want to see: cool fanart of Sonic that makes the fanbase or a joke about Coldsteel the Hedgehog original the character donut steel lel sanic? If he keeps shilling Game Grumps and posting self-aware memes then he doesn't lose anyone. Actual fans aren't going to leave. They're used to it by now. The only people he can lose are non-fans and casuals and those probably make up the majority of followers on Facebook and Twitter. Just look at the Youtube channel, it doesn't even have 1 million subscribers but the Youtube and Twitter have over 5 million each

>>12193

I meant fanart of Sonic that makes the fanbase look sane

>>12195

>Sonic will never be your Valentine

>>12192

>But half of that massive amount of people don't like Sonic and will continue to make it a laughingstock

The other half makes a much bigger number than the followers the Sonic accounts had before this, and I'd bet that even previous subscribers are paying much more attention now than when nothing was going on with the accounts. Maybe now that he's the one with followers he can try to start getting to the people that don't currently like Sonic instead of having to go through some eceleb to do it for him, but who knows, at this point I'm pretty much playing devil's advocate, and I'm sick and tired of Sega as a whole trying all the god damn time to please people that don't give a shit about the franchise even when it is at the expense of the franchise itself.

What Sonic characters would get rejected on Valentine's Day?

>>12201

Amy

>>12201

Amy

>>12201

Amy, Rouge, Silver.

>>12204

>Rouge

H-how?

>>12205

Shadow wouldn't give any fucks about Valentines. Knuckles would only see it as a trick so she could get the Master Emerald. There's not many other choices for her, though I imagine no one here would turn her down.

>>12208

Would Knux get jealous if he saw Shadow take Rouge out?

>>12209

Very, but it's fault for refusing.

>>12215

I can't believe Shadow's chao killed Shadow.

>>12216

The little guy is just practicing to drown Sonic.

>>12154

I never understood why they did all this for Adventure. It feels so convoluted and unnecessary.

With enough chili dogs, could you bribe Sonic to be your Valentine?

>>12220

If your game/movie is based on real world locales, you go to said real world locales to take reference photos. Disney did it all the time.

>>12220

Lots of teams do that kinda stuff. Helps get a real feel for the locations to help recreate them.

>>12195

There's also Hedgehog Day (Groundhog's) on the 2nd. Before they really made use of the twitter, they had a blog on the official Sega site that did fun things like reveal concept art of games. Although to my memory it was mostly limited to 4, and we all know how the Project Needlemouse reveal as Sonic 4 turned out. Still, I wish they did something like that every year for Hedgehog's Day as they neglected it in the past few years leading to 2018, in which the blog fell to the wayside and it's almost been a year since they axed the forum altogether.

>>12220

They did it for the sake of taking pictures to use as the in-game textures as a way to add further realism and to show off what the Dreamcast was capable of.

>>12221

Yes. Especially if you put something in those chili dogs

>>12225

That's illegal!

>>12222

I know the game is based on those locations and that they used some photos they took as textures like >>12224 said, but I just don't feel either of those things were worth it. Maybe it was a necessary thing to do to help the Dreamcast sell, but I don't feel it ended up benefiting the game.

>>12227

Gee, it's almost as if developers can try to achieve an artistic vision without thinking of how much it will actually help sell the game.

>>12229

Or the console since they never made a Saturn Sonic game and made NiGHTS instead.

>>12231

Rude chao!

>>12231

Fucking rekt

>>12230

To be fair to Sonic Team, they did have a reason to not make a Sonic game on the Saturn.

>>12234

What's Sonic about to read them, /sthg/?

>>12235

The Ugly Barnacle

>>12235

The Bibble

>>12243

It seems like it would be extremely dangerous to run in your sleep.

>>12244

Probably dangerous, but it's also probably pretty comfy.

>>12248

Well shit, thanks!

>>12250

Probably has a lot of references.

>>12250

Bless Uekawa

>>12254

Fucking sweet.

'Bout time we start getting some more cool looking merch.

>>12256

>we

Is this actually coming to the west?

>>12257

I dunno, but I hope so

>>12257

it's not from Mania Adventures so no

Honey the Cat's personality is what Classic (and/or Modern) Amy should be. But instead of promoting a clothing line, she's promoting… I don't know, a disaster relief fund

>>12270

>We'll never see Honey humiliate Tails again

Tragic

>>12272

More like

>We'll never see Honey again

>>12277

I completely forgot about this game. Wasn't it just virtual slot machines? I can't see the appeal of something like that

>>12277

I didn't even know this existed.

>>12278

>Wasn't it just virtual slot machines?

Pretty much, yeah

>>12280

Stealing the ME I can get, but what would Rouge steal Knuckles for?

>>12285

He was likely on the emerald already, and she probably couldn't move him.

>>12285

His four heads.

>>12285

Bragging rights.

>>12291

but anon, aren't you excited for the brand new spinoff game they're not actually hyping up? or the remixes of the remixes from Mania Adventures? there's plenty going on

>>12291

Yup, nothing much going on for now.

>>12291

Yeah, it definitely feels like January-March is gonna be a big drought of info/news about the series.

That being said, things should pick up once more stuff about the movie come out, TSR releases & that IDW Annual thing comes out.

>>12292

Isn't team Sonic Racing basically finished but just got 6 months of extra polish? If you don't like it now, just move on and play some fan games ffs. Robo Blast Kart exist, just play games and be patient.

>>12296

I think he's more commenting on the fact that STR is barely getting any marketing, not that it looks bad.

>>12297

yes this basically. I actually like what we've seen with TSR so far, aside from Team Eggman and Team Rose being letdowns. They're just doing a terrible job hyping the game up. Even before the delay was announced, we were barely getting any information. They never mention it on Twitter except for the team reveals and soundtrack videos. They obviously can't spoil everything about the game but I feel like there's more they could be doing

>>12298

>>12297

It might be because they know the game is going to be bad. Because based on all previews of the game, and how it looks like an objectively shittier version of ASRT, there's not a whole lot to be hyped about.

>>12300

It seems fine gameplay-wise from all the hands-on stuff. It’s just that pretty much everything else is lacking save for maybe the music.

>>12303

Huh, that's very weird. It was a video of Team Sonic racing's Music behind the scenes. It had Jun playing music for the game, but now that I think about it, they might have took the video down because it showed gameplay of a new track, I think it's the Eggman factory one people saw concept art of.

Fuck, if I thought about that enough I would have downloaded the video. Oh well.

>>12304

the video page does show up on google but there is no cached version. It's also interesting how they specifically put PS4 in the title

>>12304

TSR releases on May 21st.

https://www.4gamer.net/games/421/G042175/20190201026/

Their cars have names, too.

>Sonic: Speed Star

>Tails: Whirlwind Sport

>Knuckles: Land Breaker

>Shadow: Dark Reaper

>Rouge: Lip Spyder

>Omega: Cross Dozer

>Amy: Pink Cabriolet

>Chao: Chao Pod

>Big: Frog Cruiser

>Vector: Beat Monster

>Silver: Lightron

>Blaze: Royal Chariot

>Eggman: Egg Booster

>Metal Sonic: Formula M

>Zavok: Road Dragoon

>>12304

>>12305

>>12306

>>12307

Sonic the Hedgehog channel unloaded the video this time, so I guess it was uploaded too early by Sony's channel

>>12320

Just to say it now, the new track is called Frozen Junkyard. I think it's a Sonic Forces level, after the events of the game.

>>12306

That's likely because it was uploaded by Sony's channel.

>>12323

I'm probably gonna try & play a little Advance 2 this weekend. I still need to get some of the Emeralds in that game.

>>12323

Godspeed to your project, anon.

>>12320

The first track rocks.

>>12327

Let's not and say we did.

>>12327

How is Sonic World DX?

>>12329

Not released.

>>12330

O-oh.

I thought it already came out

>>12334

Everything seems so shallow and empty right now, it's like eating hard bread and water all day every day for years. I don't know if I want the same thing as you but some characterization and atmosphere wouldn't be bad.

>>12323

Probably nothing Sonic related. I need to finish a game this weekend.

I do need to finish 100% Forces at some point, though.

>>12336

This explains why most of them never seem to have money concerns. They're all running successful businesses on the side. I have to wonder how Blaze manages both a coffee shop and some sort of motor business while living in an alternate dimension, though.

>>12338

They just sold their likenesses. They don't run them.

>>12338

>>12339

If their likenesses have that much worth, that must mean Sonic's friends are all celebrities. I wonder what their net worth is.

Ironically, Sonic has far less of these businesses, if any. Lawyers probably aren't cool in his book.

>Hiro is making cripplechan pay to post for phoneposters

What's he doing exactly?

>>12347

Huh. Well people have been complaining about phoneposters for a long time, might weed out some shitposters.

>>12349

Lewd or cute?

>>12344

>meaning we might get some more activity.

We say this every time 4chan does something stupid, but I don't think that many really stay.

>>12344

That will either kill 4chan or kill 8ch. I don't know if I want phoneposters on this board.

>>12350

It's Sonic girls, so it's definitely both.

>>12344

Well, hopefully any new posters are friendly.

Also that Sonic Heroes pic is nice

>>12344

I knew it was weird we were getting so much activity today.

>>12347

If it's only for phones it could probably be bypassed. Still, it's a bold move.

>>12355

We need a bigger,bolder move for everyone to leave 4chan permanently though. 8ch is much better for posting.

>>12358

They'd have to go full pay to post on everyone for that to happen.

>>12359

kek

If this place was like 50 or so people, it'd be perfect. Not too overcrowded like 4/sthg/, not too slow like we're dead.

>>12362

What is the rest of ∞chan like?

>>12364

No one can catch Sonic.

Is there an 8chan version of 4chanx?

>>12364

Why did Sonic bully Megaman like this?

>>12369

No need for it. Pretty much all the features you'd want are native to the site. Just click that options button in the top right corner.

>>12366

More people would be fine. We just need mods cracking down on bullshit.

>>12370

Sonic's letting his Fleetway side show.

>>12371

Okay, Eggman can, but the Blue Bomber definitely isn't fast enough.

>>12373

Yeah, thankfully we have the BO & mods who frequent here pretty often.

Even though some geeks are still gonna try like just now

>>12375

Rudehog

>>12386

When was the last time we even got alt outfits, SA2? It's doubtful unless Hardlight somehow starts collaborating with Sonic Team.

>>12386

I doubt it unless it was in like a party mode or something. They could do something like DLC, I think Boom did that actually.

>>12386

We might in the vein of DLC, but I think it depends on what kind of game we get next.

Also holy shit, that's a nice Blaze outfit

>>12387

The Rivals games, actually.

>>12387

Riders had them. I think one of the Rivals games did too

>>12386

god I hope so

>>12392

>>12391

I like to go at an average pace.

>>12367

/v/ is much more serious and discussion oriented than 4/v/, but it depends on the board really since each board is run by different people and is aimed at different people, and probably has a different userbase.

>>12386

I don't think that'd be on their mind, but maybe Aaron could convince Iizuka that it's an inexpensive thing to add to games to keep players engaged or something, maybe remarking their popularity in the mobile games.

They didn't do any DLC outfits for Forces, did they? Not counting the SEGA pre-order stuff, obviously.

>>12404

Well, there WAS the Sanic shirt

>>12405

Oh god, I forgot that. Maybe we shouldn't encourage them for more outfits.

>>12405

I still can't believe this happened

>>12407

I don't think SEGA likes anything the fanbase likes.

>>12412

I love this shot so much when playing. Looks cool in motion.

>>12411

The only non-normie adults you are going to find who are into Sonic are going to come from /sthg/.

>>12415

True. I don't mind more people coming in no matter where they are, so long as they contribute to this place positively. And thanks to the mods, anyone trying to stir trouble can be dealt with easily. In the meantime, let's just relax.

>>12412

God, what a nice shot. Any mods for Generations you guys would recommend?

>>12412

>first pic, balloon on the lower right

fucked up textures?

>>12422

This really just goes to show that my personal opinion for SEGA is to make an American brand of Sonic that is the classic era and the Japanese Sonic Team made Modern Sonic into Kingdom Hearts would basically fix the series for the better

>>12421

The first pic looks like Blaze is doing the devil horns

>>12423

>the Japanese Sonic Team made Modern Sonic into Kingdom Hearts

W…..what?

>>12425

*make

My bad. Basically I think Modern era should be like Kingdom Hearts and Classic era should pander explicitly to Westerners. Shonen for the East, American Sonic for the west.

>>12424

Blaze is secretly a punk girl.

>>12423

>the Japanese Sonic Team made Modern Sonic into Kingdom Hearts

I want something similar enough to where I can comfortably share your dream.

>>12426

>Basically I think Modern era should be like Kingdom Hearts

That still doesn't make any sense. You think it should play like KH?

>>12429

I think anon means in terms of lore, writing etc.

>>12429

What >>12430 said. Tonally and presentation wise, make it like Kingdom Hearts. Gameplay could just be like the Adventure games since that's what Modern is most liked for.

>>12411

/fast/ is still /sthg/'s back-up, anon. It even says it in one of the pastebins, no?

Users from 4chan coming here shouldn't be a problem, as there's active moderation here.

>>12431

Tbh, I do like the idea of Modern Sonic being more shonen-esque, but I'm not sure how much I'd like that branch going full Kingdom Hearts in terms of lore.

That stuff may get pretty complicated
