https://bleedingcool.com/comics/now-idw-lets-go-of-employees-permanently/ >David Hedgecock >Denton Tipton >Gilberto Lazcano >Christa Meisner >Spencer Reeve Anyone know if/how this will impact the Sonic comic?

>>22763 >Hedgecock Heh. But afaik, none of these people work on IDW Sonic so there's not much to worry about yet.

>>22763 I don't really know any of those names but it sure doesn't sound look a good sign. Even before the pandemic I remember hearing rumors of IDW being in financial trouble, I guess we'll have to wait and see what else they do outside of delaying comic books.

>>22765 >spoiler I hate the word delay so much nowadays

>>22766 delay

>>22767 Fug you

>>22766 >>22768 I hope nothing else gets belayed

>>22769 I hate the fact that I know something is gonna get delayed before next month

>>22770 It's not like Sega ever produces anything good for anniversaries anyways. If they don't announce a sequel to Mania soon I'm just checking back out until they do.

>>22771 >It's not like Sega ever produces anything good for anniversaries anyways.

>>22772 Was almost ten years ago and it was mediocre. Literally only notable for being blatant nostalgia-baiting with some updated music that managed to be slightly less garbage than all the other boost games before or since.

>>22772 >10th anniversary: Sonic Adventure 2 >15th anniversary: Sonic 2006 >20th anniversary: Sonic Generations >25th anniversary: Sonic Forces/Sonic Mania Going by this pattern, SEGA drops a good anniversary title every 10 years, so who knows we might get lucky

>>22773 I actually agree, its a Sonic 4 Ep 2 of boost; mediocrity that sparkled for people because it had actual trash right next to it. Its immensely over-hyped for what it is.

>>22775 Tbh, I enjoyed Generations, at least the Modern stages.

>>22776 And i liked sonic and the black knight, doesn't mean its extortionary. Generations is still the only notable boost game from an actual gameplay standpoint and while that certainly gives it a niche; its the only boost game where they decided maybe sonic should actually do some of that platforming stuff with his main gimmick. However its a very average platformer with not much going for it besides nostalgia bait outside of this small tidbit, generations is the type of game the second anything surpasses it it would have been considered a stepping stone. It lacks much of an identity due to its gimmick, its story may as well not exist like most modern sonic stuff and of course; >at least the Modern stages Classic is still a decent portion of generations and it is actively crap.

>>22777 >extortionary Yeah i don't know how i managed that, i should really check what i'm typing there. Obviously its meant to be extraordinary.

>>22777 >Generations is still the only notable boost game from an actual gameplay standpoint Hmmm, I dunno about that anon. I think the daytime stages in Unleashed actually had a little bit more going for it than Gens in that regard. Although I do agree on the point about the Classic stages

>>22779 Unleashed is a game that is actively playing to its strengths in the day time stages, so i'd be inclined to agree though the issue is that unleashed is a very bland game due to that technically. Its not something that can exactly go anywhere, playing boost straight means you can do very little with your stages; theres an extra reason they bulked out their game with the werehog besides budget. Gens boost is certainly not a well crafted experience mostly, kinda smashed together to actually get platforming in there. However in the end both are basically just padding out boost, unleashed just has the class to leave its boost sections not have interruptions also directly in those sections. Actually on a note on boost, while i haven't played the thing in ages i remember secret rings sticking out to me especially after having played it. I think it actually made the other boost games stick out badly in their flaws, i feel like from a level design standpoint i actually prefer secret rings others even if the game is too clunky to actually feel better to play enjoyably. I don't think boost is a good thing to continue as one of the main brands of sonic mind that, its still a pretty poor gameplay after awhile; there's a reason 06 toned down its mach speed sections.even if they forgot to change it when they reverted engines

Holy shit, it worked! Now go give Chao in Space another watch!

>>22782 Nice. Thanks! Also, some news coming next week http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/05/tech_journalist_teases_revolutionary_scoop_in_next_weeks_famitsu_possibly_concerning_sega

>>22783 Why does this guy makes it sound like it's a new sega console just to make it clear later that it's not. That's the only thing that I think could rival a ps5 announcement as he says it. I can't think of a Sega franchise big enough that it's news are a huge impact on the game industry, not even Sonic

>>22784 Maybe a SEGA online game streaming service, with all their IPs revived?

>>22785 I don't think Sega is THAT bold, but it would be nice, especially if it'd let you play saturn and dreamcast games.

Sonic movie sequel confirmed! https://variety.com/2020/film/news/sonic-the-hedgehog-sequel-1234619356/

Tikal coming to Forces Speed Battle!

>>22788 That's a little unexpected. >>22787 And this whole thing with the movie has been a doozy. I wonder if any of the Hollywood execs ever saw the CD, Adventure, and Unleashed intros to get a general feel for Sonic after Robicheaux left the building. Just what was that film going to be like before changing hands?

>>22789 The movie after Van's departure but before the first trailer dropped seemed like it was heading the same direction the Smurfs movie went, tbh. IIRC it was mentioned that Paramount knew fans weren't gonna like the design of Movie!Sonic, but felt like the "general public" was gonna like it. The big thing for me is what the film was gonna be like after Van left under Sony Pictures. There's not a lot of information on what the movie was gonna be like, outside of the old poster of Sonic's movie design by that point.

https://cytu.be/r/8chanmania Guess who's back?

>>22791 WEAK

Here's the big SEGA announcement: https://twitter.com/serkantoto/status/1268054677834174464?s=20 https://twitter.com/serkantoto/status/1268050284481097728?s=21

Post Sonic memes and templates.

it dead

>>22795 Same, but it's weird how some boards still work and some don't

>>22796 Huh, I couldn't even access the boards page so I thought the whole site was ded. It had been working like shit for the past few days too. We probably should consider migrating here again, maybe after they implement the new features. They can migrate all the posts and threads from 8kun too.

>>22797 Looks like we're up again.
