>Espio Hell yeah. Almost forgot the previous zone, tho: >>14002.

>>14758 Gosh darnit! Last time I forgot the subject and now this!

https://www.sonicstadium.org/2019/04/sonic-the-hedgehog-2-will-be-included-in-western-sega-mega-drive-mini/ ayy, S2 confirmed for SEGA Genesis Mini. >>14759 You did good beyond that anon, so be glad!!

fast

>>14754 That's a cool Espio pic. >>14760 I first read SA2 and had to do a double take.

>>14762 I'm now imagining SA2 recreated for the Genesis Might be fun, ngl

Holy fucking shit this is amazing.

https://vimeo.com/331145568 >>14767 Full thing here!

>>14768 Holy fuck, that's beautiful. Any more vids like this?

>>14769 Doesn't seem like it, that guy's the source. The only thing there is is higher resolution versions at the Youtube account linked on the Vimeo video. We should nag him to make more, though! What cutscenes would you like to see re rendered like this?

>>14770 I would love to see something like the Unleashed intro, or maybe the opening to SA1 get a re-rendering like that, tbh.

>>14772 Isn't Shadow an assist trophy, or something? Don't really see the big deal though, Nintendo doesn't seem super interested in making anyone but Sonic playable in Smash anyways.

>>14767 >>14768 Damn, this looks much better

>>14772 I don't want a Shadow Mii costume, honestly. They're pretty ugly. >>14773 Yes. He's been an assist for three games in a row, longer than any other 3rd party trophy IIRC. I'm quite certain they'll make him an echo next time.

>>14771 I think we already have an HD opening of Unleashed floating around, so it wouldn't be such a big difference as with Shadow. I saw some people requesting 06 cutscenes re rendered though.

>>14776 >I saw some people requesting 06 cutscenes re rendered though. Oh? Post it, if ya can

>>14777 They were just comments, nothing was really done.

>>14778 O-oh. Well hey, I'd be interested in seeing the 06 cutscenes re-rendered, so hopefully someone pulls that off.

May's Sonic Channel wallpaper.

>>14783 Looking nice. That is a huge fist, tho

>>14783 So it was Knuckles after all huh.

New covers for upcoming IDW Sonic issues.

https://twitter.com/unicornhornsoup/status/1119267633159741445 >>14786 neat

>>14786 Looking nice. And I guess Omega's actually gonna show up unlike Battle For Angel Island >>14787 The plushies in that tweet are pretty cute.

Look at all these dev assets: https://twitter.com/DaveLuty/status/1119358524553822209

>>14789 It peeves me a little that he would mention he had this stuff back in 2009 but didn't release all of it, only to just trust a complete stranger he just met with the originals and only copies a few years down the line.

what

>>14792 Last one didn't fit in the post.

>>14791 >That 2nd pic H-huh

>>14789 Gong to have to take a look at this later.

THE FLINCH IN YOUR EYE CALLS YOUR BLUFF

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQtQc1dlCCg Here's your Jet Set Sonic bro

>>14800 What elevates this is the authentic Adventure era sound mixing.

>>14800 What a rude & vulgar hedgehog

>>14803 nice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9oCepc-96E >>14803 >>14800 Kek. That dumb guitar part in Sonic's theme about 15 seconds in always gets me when I hear it and now I'm gonna have to listen to this on repeat for hours, god dammit.

The character portraits in TSR are great. I remember thinking that the renders they used to create always looked weird but lately they have been acing them.

>>14808 I think they got a new model or something, Sonic looks like the one in the latest Wreck it Ralph and Knuckles legit look like his SA1 version in HD, nothing like the Forces model. Maybe that's a good sigh for what's to come in the future for 3D Sonic.

This cutie's name was revealed to be Jewel and she's a beetle.

>>14810 Cute little beetle. She's showing up in the Annual, right?

>>14809 I don't really think they look any different, they are just posed much better.

>>14812 Hmm, I don't know if it's just me or not, but it looks different for me

>>14813 I meant to say I didn't think they looked different in the TSR portraits compared to previous games like Generations and such.

>>14816 >Filename not "the average day on 4/sthg" One job.

https://twitter.com/JovialNightz/status/1119463197591863296 Kek

>>14818 Wow the leaked footage of the movie looks great!

>>14817 I was about to give it a name to make a jab but I couldn't think of anything good and I'm kind of tired of doing it all the time, kek.

>>14820 It's alright anon, it's still a nice pic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT_IyrBBrY8 Here's your remaster bro

>>14822 >runs into a wall during mach speed >doesn't get hurt or start breakdancing What's the point of remaking '06 if you're just going to remove everything that made it interesting?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUYS2Tr1cfo Imo, I'm glad we are getting into the 3D fan game era now. Maybe one day these fans can to follow in Taxman's footsteps

>>14829 Holy fuck it actually worked. Source of the ASCII art is the easter egg the devs put in the JP TSR webpage. See the source code at http://sonic.sega.jp/TeamSonicRacing/ I sound like a huge shill

>>14831 Sweet. Also just nabbed these neat little silhouette animations from the Mania webpage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6vqb1otKsE >>14833 gn, anon.

So given the movie trailer being shown at CinemaCon, what are the odds it becomes public within the next month?

>>14835 They've shown it at several conventions already so unless there's something special about CinemaCon that makes it different from the rest I'd say there's probably no correlation between the two. Having said that I think it's pretty amazing that it's coming out in 6 months and literally not a thing is known about it so far, so they're gonna have to release it sooner rather than later and the more they wait the more likely it becomes that it'll drop in the near future. I can't help but wonder if there's more to this delay than we know.

>>14836 I imagine it comes from how negative the reception stuff like Sonic's design has been so far. That being said, yeah, this movie is out in just a few months, you'd think Paramount would try to promote it a bit more than just privately showing the trailer off at conventions. I get that SEGA isn't really going out of their way to advertise the movie, but it makes no sense why Paramount is acting so hush-hush about publicly showing stuff off.

>>14837 They know it’s a lose-lose situation, and that it’s going to be worse than putting Fantastic Four to the cinema a third time (all video-game based movies are horrible, so no surprises really), so they’re trying to keep it on the down-low so we don’t have to get angry and flood the internet with our “Dear, assfaces…” schtick as much as they expect it to happen. Especially knowing Sonic is a doomed franchise at this point. Fun Fact The original Sonic Creator Yujinaka was fired shortly after completing the first game way before Kojima disowned Konami (and the other way around) for treating him, and his genuine complaints, like shit. It was shortly thereafter he was hired by the American Sega Branch, but a man can only keep a franchise alive for so long if a company’s greedy enough. In the words of Mr. T: >”I pity all them fools!”

>>14837 >I imagine it comes from how negative the reception stuff like Sonic's design has been so far. The thing that confuses me is that according to (((some))), the reception was not that bad with the people that attended the private showings. So what gives?

>>14839 Most people are mixed by saying it's not amazing, but it looked far better in motion then anything they've seen already with the leaked images. Because let's make it clear; The Sonic fanbase is LOUD and seen as one of the most "autistic" fanbases on the planet. The second it was made clear that website leak was real, and then the old screenshot of a early take of the movie was leaked the very same day, everyone went apeshit. It was spamed all over, so most that view things online knows about the design, even the original Sonic Team staff knows now. That outbreak likely, to put it bluntly, fucked themselves up and think what they hoped for was for not. And imo, that's saddening, because it really makes it hard to do anything with Sonic anymore. The Sonic fanbase is as bad with change as elderly people are about racism and sexism of the early 1900s. It's that bad.

It was Knuckles Chaotix's 24th anniversary the other day.

>>14840 Dude, it's a Hollywood video game adaptation that's made every single cliche terrible video game movie mistake, already, It's not going to be good. Whatever hopes Paramount and SEGA had for it were poorly placed before the design was even known. >it really makes it hard to do anything with Sonic anymore. But it doesn't. Mania did incredibly well. The comics were/are well-received, and just keep getting fucked over by their publishers. Boom was praised, but got fucked over by CN. Every single recent time the fanbase has a strong negative reaction to something Sonic, it's because it's bad, not because the fanbase is allergic to change. What's making it hard to do anything with Sonic is the incompetence of SEGA.

>>14841 Nice. I've never played this game, but I do appreciate the fact that some of (at least imo) the most underrated characters in the series came from this. I should probably play it someday, honestly.

>>14842 Good points. >not because the fanbase is allergic to change. Well maybe it's just a minority being loud, but for the most part, you're not wrong. But let me put it this way: If you made a boost game, regardless if it was Unleashed - Werehog good, Adventure fans want SA3 instead. If you make Mania 2, same thing. If you got SA3 at this point, it's likely not going to be good on the surface value without 2000s era "soul". It's like Kingdom Hearts 3. It's amazing, but it's 15 years of hype that likely never got fully realized. Then you got archiefans still made Sally and co aren't in the games. That's what I mean, I firmly believe SOnic is far from unusable, but the fanbase can, and has, doomsaid the state of the series to an overexagerated state, but to outsides like Paramount, or even Sonic Team, it's for real to them, not a joke.

Have some Dr. Starline fanart.

>>14834 I find the Planet Wisp level select theme quite melancholic and depressing.

>>14840 >And imo, that's saddening, because it really makes it hard to do anything with Sonic anymore You make it sound like it's the fault of the Sonic fanbase for not accepting the crap they try to repeatedly shove down our throats instead of the fact that they're trying to shove crap down our throats. >>14844 I believe that while people are still going to request and root for the things they like the most, that's not going to stop them from enjoying a genuinely good game, specially at this point where Modern just hasn't been able to catch a break in some 8 years. I think the state of the series is somewhat exaggerated, but these last few years haven't been the best either, man, with Boom, the exclusivity deal, the periodic issues with the comic that ended with its loss, the very few games that were released and the poor quality of those that did, and now with the movie. One thing that always bothers me when people talk about change in the franchise is that most of the time it's implied that the fanbase should accept any change period, and it bothers me not only because the results we've gotten have been far from good, but also because it sounds silly that we should accept changes to things that we know and like just for the sake of it when the right thing to do is to build up on things instead, and create something that works with the previous things that people liked. I can understand deeper changes in some cases provided that they're reasonable and well thought out and maybe spanned over time, but at this point warping things even more than they are now like by messing around with the characters' looks and their personality is very hard to get behind.

>You make it sound like it's the fault of the Sonic fanbase for not accepting the crap they try to repeatedly shove down our throats instead of the fact that they're trying to shove crap down our throats. Well, I wasn't. In fact that simply goes into what I mean. Said "Crap" is something some one in the fanbase, likes. SA1/2 is dogshit to you? Well millions still want SA3. Or, did Boost era Sonic tickle your fancy? Well too bad, most of the fanbase apparently hates it. And don't get me started on people that either praise the classics as god or loathe classic Sonic because "it's inrelevent/only liked for nostalgia" as they post a SA2 image. It's not the fans fact really. But the aftermath of SEGA's handling of the series, makes it a issue that cannot be ignored. The fans retroactively taint the series as badly to others outside the fanbase then the company themselves do to the fanbase. Comments like "No wonder the fanbase is crap, they hate everything SEGA makes for them!" Or "no wonder Sonic games are crap, no one can agree which ones are good or bad!" Etc. I blame SEGA overall, but please don't handwave the fanbase like normal people don't be quick to blame that before the company (see Smash fanbase) >One thing that always bothers me when people talk about change in the franchise is that most of the time it's implied that the fanbase should accept any change period, and it bothers me not only because the results we've gotten have been far from good, but also because it sounds silly that we should accept changes to things that we know and like just for the sake of it when the right thing to do is to build up on things instead, and create something that works with the previous things that people liked. This, is, what I want too. I think the issue most of all is simply, what are the best traits of Sonic people genienue want? The problem is a lot of things simply clash with each other, some nitpicky, some not so much, and just merging it into a cesspool of half baked gumbo like Forces is, proves there needs to be a time to sit down, look at what fans cry for the most, and see how can you take what happened since 1991 to today, and make it all work together. That's far harder than it simply sounds, espeically where most of the stuff could be confused for whether its """canon""" or not, like Riders content, Black Arms, etc. Unlike most other series, where it's clear if it doesn't play like the "first game" of its kind, it's considered a spinoff 100% and does not mix into the mainline games of said franchises.

>>14848 You're really over-exaggerating the split between the fanbase. Yes, there are some people like that, but you're making them out to be louder and more significant than they really are.

>>14849 this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUJS39ADmxo Sorry if I came off unrulely earlier… Anyways, I'm looking forward to this. At this point I just want more Sonic games to be made great again, no matter the era.

>>14851 It's alright, anon. Tbh, after hanging around some Sonic places over the years, it can make the fanbase seem more divided than it really is.

Do you think I've listened to this too much? I couldn't get it out of my head again today so I'll probably give it a few more replays. >>14851 >At this point I just want more Sonic games to be made great again Don't we all.

>>14857 >152 Nice, but nah. I've listened to certain Sonic songs about 500 times, but I blame that on this series having such great music.

>>14858 Pics or it didn't happen.

>>14859 I listened to them on YT, so you're just gonna have to take my word for it. You can trust me, I wouldn't lie to /fast/

Oh shit, I just noticed the date. TSR Overdrive part 2 will release in just a few more days! Also, this is where Aaron was going to be at this week after all. It seems it's some internal Sega TSR event.

>>14860 But of course, you seem like a trustworthy individual.

>>14862 Also mandatory pic.

Preview for the Tangle/Whisper miniseries

>>14867 Kek

>>14867 I'm gonna need go on hunt for more fancomics later, I enjoy them a lot and I haven't seen many new ones lately.

>>14861 https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1121192149997871105 Yup. It's out tomorrow! Here's a smug Shadow in the meantime.

>>14870 >comes out tomorrow Cool >Shadow teaser Oh yes! >comes out at morning morning >gonna have to wait all day to get home and watch it oh no.jpg

>>14866 >the Babylon Rouges are in the annual >that preview ending pretty cool stuff. Are we actually going to have to wait until 3 months for the second issue though?!

>>14873 Yes But it is nice to get confirmation that the Rouges are gonna show up in the Annual, although the delay making us wait for that to come out kinda sucks.

>>14874 >the Rouges I'm not sure if the IDW-verse is prepared for multiple pairs of bat tats.

>>14875 Maybe not, but I would be in favor of it. I might've also meant the Rogues

There are more info and previews, this time for the annual. Whisper and Tangle also star in it jesus, what an aggressive way to shill them. Also apparently you can get the first issue of the Whipser & Tangle series for free right now? https://www.idwpublishing.com/product/sonic-tangle-whisper-0/ >>14874 Well that's bullshit, hell.

>>14875 >>14876 >mfw made the same mistake kek

>>14870 Cool smug rat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fhgJrMWSxw I forgot how good this tune was.

>>14883 Thanks, waking up to this feels nice.

>>14883 Beautiful.

>>14883 No fucking way, did that actually happen? I want to it so bad.

>>14888 Watch* Fuck. Anyway, beware the downtime in an hour and a half.

>>14883 Man, the comedy in this was on point. Shadow warping out of the way and then stealing a chao's popcorn, that egg-pawn mourning Eggman, and everything about Omega were just hilarious.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4LGDRjh9B4 the.real.sonic.the.hedgehog.part.002.1080p.mp4

>>14883 Holy fuck that was so good. I need so much more of this ;_; Though fuck you, Shadow didn't flip anyone.

>>14885 I didn't see this on my first watch and I thought it was an edit but I was surprised to see it was actually real on a second watch. Tails was super cute in this. I would have liked if they emphasized a bit more each character's role in the game (like having technique types recover after losing control), but it was still awesome.

>>14883 kek'd

>>14896 Reminder that Amy in 1993 was 8 years old, and that was why Sonic ran away from her, not because he was too cool for girls.

>>14896 Very cute. Seems Sega has Rafa in a tight leash huh.

https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1121831071589421056?s=20 Neat

>>14900 I want it but not for $35. It's just a t-shirt. I really hope it goes on sale or clearance at some point

>>14897 You know you can post webms with sound here, right?

>>14902 That's how you identify halfchanners. But then again that's probably not uncommon here.

>>14896 Slightly bigger version. Also, a comment from the twitter thread.

>>14904 That's a real cute Amy. Kinda sucks it took this long for her to be able to post it, but at least Sonic Team allowed her to do it.

>>14906 Adorable

>>14891 i'm reporting it to youtube, it had boob in it. I miss the awkward and dry humor that sanicman and eggman had in the last part, instead of just him being evil dad

>>14909 Oh, fuk

https://twitter.com/nefault1st/status/1122103644097261568?s=20 Hope to see this at SAGE.

>>14914 >that ending bit

>>14914 Holy shit this looks really fucking good and then some in pretty much all aspects, I need to play this.

>>14914 >Hope to see this at SAGE. I do too

>>14896 It's a real good model.

>>14921 What's this?

>>14923 Since it says Sonic X, I'm guessing its Sonic and this girl.

>>14924 How old is she supposed to be? That's not an insignificant bump on her chest.

>>14925 Umm, I guess 12? Maria was 12 for comparison.

>>14926 Helen is 11, apparently. >Blaze is flatter than an 11-year-old

>>14927 Kek

>>14930 Almost sounds like the fag waifued her.

>>14931 If he did, he would have decent taste

>>14930 I forgot that Arby's did that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khel2Rl7aZw

>>14934 I've always hated Modern's SFX in this, Classic's much better. Anyway, last I checked they still weren't open to the public, are you planning to give this a try if/when they go public, /fast/?

>>14935 I know I will. I never gave it a chance before, and I found out about how cool it was far too late.

Uhhh https://twitter.com/segabits/status/1122921386027171841

>>14937 We've known the movie was coming for years but I'm not still ready for this

>>14937 And just in case you were thinking it's fake:

>>14937 Hahaha, they just pinned a moustache on him and called him Robotnik, zero effort and not even hiding it.

>>14937 Just how obvious are they trying to make it that it’s awful?! I’d like to call this “The Trump Effect”, where you keep on deprecating yourself on stage, describe yourself as an awful choice, and you make it clear to your rival that you want him to win, but you win anyway because you were the most honest out of all of them. And by that logic, this movie will be a box office success just because of how honestly awful it is and everybody wants to see it out of curiosity. >It’s pure marketing genius! Either that, or just the old “Git hip wit da kidz!” schtick…

>>14941 >Just how obvious are they trying to make it that it’s awful?! I think it's a matter of they don't really get how fucking bad it is. There's a reason why SEGA is seemingly ignoring this whole movie's existence.

>>14937 Holy shit I was just sent this in an IRL group, it's spreading fast.

>>14943 People just want the movie info to drop. It's been on hold for far too long.

>>14944 But it's a group from my job, nothing to do with Sonic or video games, they probably don't give a shit.

>>14944 Well, the trailer finally releases tomorrow.. One way or another, it's gonna be an interesting day.

>>14945 I really don't understand people making it seem like the mascot of the 90s that nearly killed Mario, wouldn't be getting any attention no matter what, especially in movie firm. It's like being surprised people mentioned the Pokemon movie after the series hasn't been a phenomenon since Gen 2.

Oh & the JP site for it is up: https://sonic-movie.jp

for my fellow merchfags, you can use the code PERKS4ME on Ebay to get $3 off an order today as long as it's over $3. Go and buy something nice and Sonic-related for yourself

>>14947 I'm not from the US or the UK or any other place where Sonic was huge. He was known during the 90s but then completely banished and hasn't been relevant for the past 20 years. Unless you're quite hardcore into videogames and keep constantly informed from different international sites (which, by the way, are in a different language than ours), chances are you're never going to hear about Sonic, and that's been the case for me in real life, so it's indeed quite surprising to hear people talking about Sonic when it's hardly happened before, and it happened just minutes after I found out about the news myself, so it was surprisingly fast too.

>>14950 I assumed you were American, my bad. Where do you live?

>>14951 Think opposite side of the continent.

>>14948 Can we blame SoA yet

Some new images of parts of TSR we hadn't gotten a good look at yet. Looks like cutscenes might be with text boxes instead of animated, at least some of them. Also taking into account TSR Overdrive and the last image it looks like Sonic and Shadow rivalry might play a part in the game, which could be fun.

Trailer when Also good morning /sthg/

>>14956 Morning, anon I imagine we'll get the trailer around noon today

https://youtube.com/watch?v=FvvZaBf9QQI I regret asking earlier. What the fuck.

It's like they took the plot of Sonic X and made it worse.

>>14958 it looks horrible. There are some shots where Sonic's design almost looks okay but then you start noticing all the awkward little details like those lips.

>>14958 >“To die, to sleep – to sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there’s the rub, for in this sleep of death what dreams may come…”

>>14958 Sad to say, but I'm feeling really justified for trying to move away from the franchise lately. Good luck, /fast/.

>>14962 Pls no. Think of all the things coming back.

>>14963 not that anon but what's coming back? All I see is IDW which is just okay, and TSR which is very niche since it's just a racing game

>>14964 Crush40, Chao stuff, Classic stuff, I don't know.

>>14958 The cgi animation is horrible. Sonic's design is terrible. Jim Carrey is a great eggman. They spoiled the after credits scene on the trailer. It's a trainwreck

>>14958 I just woke up I wish I stayed in bed

>>14965 crush40 is great but I doubt they're going to be used for anything more than Green Light Ride. Same with Chao. They'll get some merchandise and cameos in games but probably never a chao garden or actual purpose. Classic stuff was never gone, especially not since 2011

>>14966 >Jim Carrey is a great eggman How? It's nothing like Eggman at all.

>>14969 True, but nothing in this movie looks like sonic at all. At least I know he'll be entertaining, the mad scientific genius role fits him well.

>>14968 >Classic stuff was never gone, especially not since 2011 I'm probably forgetting but I can't remember much happening with Classic between 2011 and Mania.

>>14972 a lot of official merchandise and the Mega Drive comics. And maybe I'm not remembering correctly but it definitely felt like there was an increase of good romhacks during that time too

okay,

Just going to say I'm already avoiding the internet for a month from this point on, just because I'd be more annoyed by the outcry then the medicoricy that is the movie so far, so I'll see you lot later. My only contribution to this crippled fanbase is this; if you still care, and you still want to care, take matters into your own hands. Make fan content, that's all this series is still good for, no matter how cringy it might be. If you want a better Sonic movie, make one. If you want better games, make one. If you want a better image for Sonic, make one. I'll see you all at SAGE. This is likely going to be my home for Sonic after today, not because of SEGA, but because of Sonic. Godspeed to us all.

>>14975 Stay strong, anon

>tfw everyone leaves because of the movie and /fast/ dies even more I am not okay with this.

>>14975 GOD, FUCKING STOP. Would you people and GHPAnon stop posting these pretentious hopeful posts for the future like this is a fucking Disney movie? The fans aren't going to take this franchise back. They can't do SHIT. Hell, we tried starting a fangame here but that went nowhere because god forbid anybody make sacrifices or compromises for what they want Sonic to fucking be. All hope is lost. The WAR is lost. The haters have won. Sonic is fucking dead. It's DEAD. The best, the ABSOLUTE BEST you can hope for is that Evening Star Studio eventually takes the reigns for making a 3D game, which likely will never happen again after the travesty that was Forces. Even if it does happen, are you really going to still be paying attention to this franchise in 10 years? It is foolish and naive to think Sonic will EVER be anything more than shovelware for a company, let alone any developer, who sees Sonic as nothing more than a shitty cash cow for literal toddlers.

>>14978 I can actually see the film raising activity here, mostly because it's something big to talk about.

Hey there /fast/! If you got to spend a day with Team Dark, wwyd?

>>14979 Well, the fan project here actually died because we have next to no 3D programmers. The series isn't in a great place right now (the uncertainty of where 3D Sonic is heading after the restructuring at SEGA being a big reason), but we've definitely been through worse than a mediocre film that would be straight to DVD if it didn't have the Sonic name on it & the franchise is far from dead. >>14981 >Treasure Hunt with Shadow >Kill inferior robots with Omega > Touch Bat Tats

>>14980 I was hoping for that but a bunch of people are saying they're leaving. I expected the movie to be shit but I didn't expect it to affect us like that.

I only question myself "Why?" Why did this happen? How did this happen? How can one franchise be so goddamn cursed to the point of no return? It hurts.

>>14981 >call Omega Gamma >Make Shadow blush >have political banter with Rouge >>14982 >spoiler bat tats are only for teasing!

>>14983 They'll come back. They always do. Once you're a Sonicfag you never stop. It's not like they'll not buy the next game if it's good

It's not positive but I thought it was going to be more much more negative.

>>14982 >but we've definitely been through worse than a mediocre film that would be straight to DVD if it didn't have the Sonic name on it No. No, we haven't. Sonic 06 was a disaster, but you know what? At the time, it was seen as yet another edgy realistic reboot and sure enough, Sonic jumped right back to its feet, if a little uneasily, with Unleashed. Sonic Boom was shit, but hey, the show was decent at least we could look forward to the next Boost game and the movie showed actual promise back then. Fire & Ice wasn't that bad either. Game Grumps shitting on Sonic and making it cool to shit on the franchise like the shitty little sheep you are was miserable, but at least we bounced back with Sonic Mania as a "fuck you" towards Arin. But now, right after Forces proved that Sonic Team can't even get the fucking Boost formula right anymore, and Sonic Team itself has fallen to pieces due to a mass restructuring at SEGA, this movie has gotten mass media attention. And because of that, it will likely be successful. There will likely be an Electric Boogaloo sequel to this shit. There will likely be Chipmunks-style merchandise for it, and it will be what the mass media associates Sonic the Hedgehog with for the next 10 years. And so now, all of the normies in the world get to learn about how irreparably damaged the franchise's reputation is, and the meme of "Sonic was never good" will become stronger than it ever, EVER has been before. And what do we have to look forward to? Sonic Mania 2? We don't even know if that's happening; if they wouldn't make Adventure 3, or Generations 2, I have no reason to think they would make Mania 2. The IDW comics? Those are meh at best, and don't reach anywhere near the heights of the postboot Archie era, let alone the preboot. Sonic Team Racing? It's questionable if that's even going to hold a candle to ASRT. Sonic has officially fallen to where Bubsy is. That's where we are right now. It's a living fucking nightmare. I have never in my life been so embarrassed to be a fan of a speedy blue hedgehog. This has made me want to hide my merch in a dark corner where no one will ever know.

>>14979 Look mate, I've been through Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom. And what happened after those points in time? Unleashed, Generations and Mania. Plus hundreds of fan content since, like Sonic Dimensions, Utopia, etc. At the time of 06, I was attempting Sonic fan games, but at that time I was stuck in highschool hell, and needed to focus more on getting good grades at school over video game projects. During Boom, before I could even think of doing something to show the series still had something going for it, Mania happened, by the fans, for the fans. This time, I'm going to be doing my best to do the same thing, no matter how small it might be. I'll take this part of your post >, are you really going to still be paying attention to this franchise in 10 years? And the answer is, yes. Yes I likely will be. My mother has been a big fan of things like Felix the Cat for decade. She loved that character 3 times longer than I have lived liking Sonic the Hedgehog. And Felix the Cat has been long since dead to the modern eye, but she doesn't care. I get her anything new I find of that character, from merch to old videos of it whenever I can. And what makes it worse, is in the next year or two, Felix as she remembers him, will become Open Domain soon. Part of his legacy already is by now. And SOMEONE will likely be doing what they done to Sonic to her favorite character in due time. It's only a matter of time. But the luckiest part of it is, she'll likely not live long enough to see that shit happen… But regardless if shit happens, if she can still like something she grew up with 60+ years later, so can I. And luckily for me, I have had years of practice to actually make something, thanks to that driving passion for this "cursed franchise". I can't let go. If I did, I'd do so from this movie. But no, I haven't, not even this movie can take down Sonic for me. His FANBASE takes it down for me, which is why I stated I'm laying low from the Internet for a month just to let the storm pass, but as you can see here, I'm not in a worry to see heeps of trash for pages and pages, because here, you people are better than that. I can't say the same about 4chan, or more accurately, 4chan's circlejerk of Reddit, Twitter and Youtube HUBspot. It's hell being in there, that's why I came here, there's a lot more sanity among the people here that I like. No, I'm not leaving this place, just laying low from the crossfire. Don't get too concerned about the state of /fast/, because I won't be leaving anytime soon. All I can hope for, is neither will you folks.

He also has spines throughout his back.

>>14959 I wish it at least had any of the charm of X.

In more positive news, here's another sneak peek at the IDW Sonic Annual. Seems they found Jewel after all. Art looks very nice. Now in proper order.

>>14992 >>14993 Well at least it is nice to see these guys back on the radar

>>14989 This x100. Even if the movie does damage to the franchise, history has proven time & time again that Sonic is always gonna have something that bounces the series back. And hell, to give some credit to SEGA they at least now have an idea of where they wanna take the series with the statement of having Classic & Modern Sonic run alongside each other as branches that'll both have official games coming out. And to address a certain part in >>14988 >Sonic Team itself has fallen to pieces due to a mass restructuring at SEGA What we're gonna get out of this restructured SEGA remains to be seen, but it's worth remembering that Sonic Team as an actual, separate entity has been dead for 10 years & ST from Colors-Forces has basically been a brand name with the SEGA CS2 internal division working on those titles. This whole "SEGA CS2 collapsing" thing now puts the people left at ST under the same roof as most of the non-Yakuza folks at SEGA now, with Iizuka/Hoshino/Nishiyama moving to America & the creation of a Sonic Pillar Team & it's honestly the most interesting thing going on with this franchise right now. >>14992 Looks pretty nice. Also about damn time we get the Rogues again

Do people even watch the Boom TV series? From the webms it doesn't look that bad but I'm not even sure what's the audience for. If it's kids then it has a bunch of depravity, and if its' for sonic autists why is it in cartoon network.

>>14995 CS3 collapsing* >>14996 I watched it & yeah, the Boom cartoon was pretty solid. I dunno what the particular audience for it was, but they made a neat little show that got unjustly fucked over by CN

>>14979 >The fans aren't going to take this franchise back. They can't do SHIT Who knows. Classic died come the 2000s but people stuck with him for more than a decade, even after being spit in the face, organizing themselves and producing things until they finally could make an actual game that did great. Now more than ever fans are closer to Sega and Sonic and have more influence than ever on where Sonic goes, from games (Mania), art (comic artist, Rafa, and others), music (Lopez). There's Aaron too, which even if you don't like him, he still got there because he was a fan. Don't get me wrong, I do agree that fans are not going to get to the point where they run the whole circus any time soon, and that all of this has limited consequences, and also that things are going to continue being chaotic and not great, but it's pretty amazing how much fans have progressed in terms of what they create and their involvement in the series, wouldn't have imagined it years ago. >Even if it does happen, are you really going to still be paying attention to this franchise in 10 years? Who the hell knows, I've been posting in /sthg/ for half of that already, it's probably going to go through pretty fast and even if I'm not a fan anymore by then I'm probably going to get back into it if it happens. >It is foolish and naive to think Sonic will EVER be anything more than shovelware for a company, let alone any developer Sumo has done it justice so far.

>>14966 >>14969 I think a more accurate statement would have been "Jim Carrey could have been a great Eggman." He can definitely play the kind of eccentric mad genius that is Eggman, but they just made him play "himself", because that's what they figured would appeal to the broadest audience. >>14979 You blackpills are the worst. >>14996 I figure most of us here did. It was solid, had a lot of funny jokes, and even made "dumb muscle" Knuckles an endearing character. It was a show like Freakazoid, where kids could watch it because it was a silly cartoon, but there were a lot of jokes only older audiences would really get. Its biggest issue was CN sticking it on a channel and in a time slot where barely anyone would bother watching it, besides hardcore Sonic fans. Doesn't make much sense, either, because it was pretty toyetic and I feel it definitely could have kicked off with kids. I guess running constant marathons of Teen Titans Go is just too important.

>>14999 The Boom thing is correct. Most things I hear about that show is that it reminded them of 90s cartoons, like Animaniacs and the like. Even though I didn't care that much about the show, I did enjoy it quite a bit regardless. I especially think it's a better TTGo then TTGo, when making a joke about their core fanbase, while I feel like TTGo is far more pretentious about it, instead of being more jokey about it like Boom did.

Hello /fasthg/. I hope you're doing well. I was wondering since (I assume) the people who moved to here aren't using cytube /sthg/, I was wondering if someone could have mod status to reuse the place again.

>>15001 Well, I am the one who made the cytube for that old Sonic Marathon in 2017, but if someone needs mod status for something I can help out.

>>15002 Could you please drop by for a sec? I'd appreciate it!

>>14996 Yeah. Back then there wasn't a lot going on and it was easy to get your hands on the show so why not. It was kind of boring but it had its moments. >If it's kids then it has a bunch of depravity What do you mean exactly?

>>15001 Isn't it being used by 4/sthg/? >>15002 That's pretty cool.

So since it seems we have some newcomers from 4/sthg/, how was the trailer received over there?

>>15006 Not a newcomer, but I often lurk on both sites. It was recieved as well as here. Someone screencapped >>14979 and a bunch of shitposting was breed out of it.

>>15007 > It was recieved as well as here. Not him but you mean "it's bad but it's not the end of the world?" If so color me surprised… I would have expected the exact opposite. Good on them. The fact that post was shared over which caused madness really just proves my point. Do as you may, but more negativity doesn't make this situation any better. I'd be more happy with us all just making more good content, no matter what happens from the big companies.

>>15004 The supposed fanfiction in the chris chan episode

>>15008 Yeah everyone hates the movie, but it's not like it's gonna affect the games in any way. In my opinion though, I think the fans are the ones taking the bullets in this one, sinking the franchise into a deeper meme state.

>>15005 Yeah. I only come here like twice so I'm not sure if you guys actually have one of your own instead or not.

>>15011 I understand. All we can do is move past it. We done so before, just keep moving on, like Sonic would do, he doesn't let anything stop him right? I've had to do this in other franchises, PPG, Avatar, DBZ? Evolutions was pure dogshit for DBZfans, but now we got FighterZ and Super to make it feel better again. The same can happen to Sonic. I hope it happens to the other series I liked too as well.

>>15006 Not too well, there was a bunch of movie dread for like 4 threads and then its slowing down currently to some other unrelated nonsense because they got sick of the topic that they're trying to start things with. >>15013 You're right. Some series just have their rough patches and if you like it so much you can move on from it.

Jesus Christ.

>>15015 …Yeah, looks like I just took the redpill now. Even if it "logically clashes", I can't without a doubt prefer right over left. I just can't. If God is real, let this movie be the end all be all death of live action with fictional cartoon animals. No more, just stop. It doesn't work for Smurfs, it doesn't work for anything that doesn't exist in our world, just let it go. Just keep what looks good, not what looks real.

>>15017 I really don't get it. Did the plethora of bad 90's vidya movies not tell these guys anything?

Wait, wait, hold on. There are Sonic X episodes that didn't air?!

>>15019 Hmm, interesting. I wonder were these episodes that were "banned" by 4kids?

>>15020 >>15019 It might be referring to the Metarex saga, since that never aired on TV in Japan.

>>15021 O-oh. It's not like I wanted more or anything anyway.

>>15021 Oh right, I didn't realize it was about the Japanese reairing of X. They are going to get the Metarex Saga, which is sad they didn't get to experience Cosmo. Which is odd, didn't they have a Jap version of the show? But they never aired it?

>>15023 By that I meant Season 3 that is, not the whole show.

>>15023 It never even came to DVD there, but it was still produced for the sake of overseas markets. The uncut Japanese episodes you see floating around are taken from the France DVD box sets, which to my knowledge is the only release they've had up until now.

>>15023 Yes, the whole 3 seasons have been available with Japanese voices for a long time. I'm also surprised they went that far before realizing they weren't going to let it air. This was in relation to Sonic X (along with some other TMS shows) being temporarily available to be watched on the (Japanese) TMS Youtube channel though, nothing to do with any reairing.

Don't open

>>15027 Well that's fucking horrible. Do you think movie Sonic design went through a focus group test with good results? These idiots always do that kind of shit but I can't imagine kids would want to get anywhere near it.

>>15029 If I wasn't so numb to this today, I'd go through the trouble and collage all the leaked images of Sonic and the final official look. But it's amazing how many changes this design has gone over the span of just 3-4 years.

>>15030 It has? Before today we only had like 2 images of the design. Oldest one is I think 1 year old, the one in the car, but still I never noticed a lot of differences.

>>15031 There's 6 designs we have total -The *first* one that was leaked one year prior to the actually first leaked image -The second image that was revealed by Paramount as the teaser image. -Then the third image that was leaked was the French website leak, which then was followed by a leaked image where Sonic is running towards the screen, which seems to be one of the oldest ones that was actually used in the movie's production -Then the fifth one, which seemed to be considered the final design, more polished than all of the older "leaks" and seemed closest to the teaser design, but not exact, as we later will see -Then the final reveal, seen today.

>>15033 Dammit, mis clicked the reply button. I wished you could stop it when you click it. Anyways, here's the others, minus the final, but I don't think I need to post it again. The one thing people don't seem to notice as much as I did, is that his stomach fur is now white like his hands are.

Based Artsy https://twitter.com/artsyomni/status/1123328340235096064?s=20

>>15034 It does seem like they had different colors for his chest and hands at one point, and also it seems like they experimented with different lengths of fur, but in terms of proportions they all seem very similar. It also seems like they included short socks in his current design, which were absent previously. Fuck this thing is unsettling no matter where you look. Look at the fingers, they don't have fingernails or anything, they are equally furry all around. That feels so unnatural.

>>15036 Yeahm same here. It just goes to show you really can't fix what ain't broken. Glad Japan feels the same about it too.

>>15035 That's a damn fine animation, tbh.

>>14958 At this point I wonder when "Antoons" will add a new episode to the "Death of Sonic" saga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTBS_aTLEbE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5HlB3fEV2o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRcNmIsrYfg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sZAXFPsTyA

>>14958 >>15015 >>15034 >>15049 All they had to do was make his Holly-haunted design unanimously pleasing (no matter how "unrealistic" a Methemoglobinemic hedgehog emitting enough electricity to power India for 3 days could be), and it may have been at least halfway decent (benefit of a doubt with low standards anyway, because video game movies always suck). When the fans are the ones getting the design right, it's a sad spectacle. The kind that makes the Woody Woodpecker Movie look like Paddington. It's a damn shame really, because the scenes with Jim Carrey are the only thing I like in the trailer.

>>15053 That's still bad, but at least better than what we got.

>>14996 >I'm not even sure what's the audience for That's just a general problem for many western cartoons. They want to appeal to both children and adults, but in the worst cases they end up catering to neurotic teenagers and adults, and in the best cases we get Gumball and Sonic Boom.

Where's the annual /sthg/ WHERE IS IT

A couple more of these guys are being produced. The models for these were made by Nibroc! Knux looks outstanding Tails not so much

>>15056 It comes out today, correct? We should be seeing it soon, then. ** I hope * >>15057 Killer. But Tails looks kinda odd in the face region

https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1123645541626318848 So SEGA's now gonna start re-focusing on their current IPs like Yakuza, Persona & Sonic. Given that Iizuka already confirmed that the team is already working on a new Sonic title, I'm cautiously interested in seeing where this goes.

>>15061 Basically the most salable IPs. Hope they save face and pull an Unleashed 2 again. After fanboys showed them up with Mania, and the rest of American making Sonic a bigger joke with the movie, they better get the right people in the right seats again, aka, no Kishimoto.

>>15060 It should have but haven't seen it posted anywhere yet.

>>15061 At this point I don't feel very inclined to believe anything they say, they never deliver on their words. >>15062 >aka, no Kishimoto. no Pontac or Graff either pls.

>>15061 Wait…does this mean Shenmue 3 is shitcanned?

IDW Sonic #16 preview. >>15065 Probably not, Sega was not developing that as far as I know.

>>15066 >Sonic running put his virus into remission ….huh. Given the covers of the upcoming issues I doubt Sonic doesn't have it anymore, but I'm curious how they're gonna explain. And Sonic running in a hamster wheel looks cute

Oh yeah, starting Annual storytime here: >>15068

>>15069 Thanks anon!

>>15066 the art is nice. I also like the design for Tails' workshop. It's like a blend of the one from Sonic Adventure and his house from Sonic Battle. It's cute and whimsical

>>15088 The asymmetry with the upper window and roof bother me, but I like what they went for and the art is very nice. Would have liked if it was a bit closer to the house in Battle though.

>>15066 When did Tangle learn about his workshop's location?

>>15107 Call me cynical, but I can't help but feel an >"Old Bump is problematic because her origins are 4chan and designed to be sexy, so I made her bust smaller and gave her actual shorts" vibe from this.

>>15108 I think it's more designed towards a 1980s style & shorts like that definitely call back to that era. Besides, her bust tends to range depending on who draws her, so it's about as consistent as the Sonic canon

>>15108 I feel like you're probably reading too much into the pic and that it's just an alternative look. One thing I've noticed going through my Bump folder is that a lot of the time she's not drawn with big bumps. Some even draw her with Blaze-sized bumps too, which she would take personally. But Bump is cute no matter what.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibKf66tVoFw What would you wish for a new 2D Sonic game? To be like this, no matter the cost

>>15110 Well, it's like the old saying goes: flat is justice >>15111 Honestly, I have 2 major wishes for a new 2D Sonic game: >Sonic Mania Plus, with the addition of a playable Amy Rose, Metal Sonic & 100% new stages or >Sonic Advance 4, with Sonic/Tails/Knuckles/Amy/Shadow/Blaze as the base roster, level design that provides a fun challenge, but isn't overstuffed with bottomless pits, no screen crunch (obviously) & a better method for Emerald collecting

>>15112 >Sonic Mania Plus Fug, meant Sonic Mania 2*

>>15112 >flat is justice

>Sonic keeps coming up as conversation topic in non sonicfag chat groups because of the movie must… contain… powerlevel Help

>>15120 It's surprising how mainstream this thing went. And sad too, everyone is laughing at us.

https://twitter.com/SonicJPNews/status/1123863980617949184 This is just sad

>>15121 I don't think it is surprising, but it sure is peeving! People talk shit about it the movie and soon after the fire spreads and they talk shit about the rest of Sonic and I can't say a thing because I'll blow it.

>>15122 He got lucky.

>>15124 4u

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ps2hebagSrU JUST

>>15122 Wasn't the actual creator of Pac-Man in that Pixels movie? Or was that just a actor posing as him? Either way, Yuji doesn't deserve to be in this, even if it's still a Sonic thing, he deserves better. Same goes for Sonic 06 at the time, which is why I was glad he left from SEGA's hellhole.

>>15122 Oh, and based on how he puts it, this sounds like when the movie was still being developed by Sony, when it was actual fans of Sonic behind the movie's direction. Fucking Sony, fucked up this situation far more thanks to them giving it to Paramount of all things. Does Sony seem to hate animation or something? First that Popeye movie, now this.

The movie. The 3D games being bad for so long. 4 year hiatuses. IDW being just decent at best and constantly delayed. Everyone making fun of the franchise again but not just memers this time. The new Game Grumps video. I might actually be done with this franchise. I can't take it anymore

>>15126 >Arin Do kids even care about Game Grumps anymore?

>>15130 >Being this much of a baby If based SomeCallMeJohnny can handle it, and me, being only 5 years younger, can to, so can you.

>>15127 >Same goes for Sonic 06 at the time, which is why I was glad he left from SEGA's hellhole. But wasn't that his responsibility? Not sure why people still hold him in such a high regard after that, Shadow, etc..

>>15132 >don't be a pussy Thank you for your wise word, Garfield

>>15131 They have 5 million subs

>>15135 Fair point, but how many of them watch their vids?

>>15133 >But wasn't that his responsibility Somewhat? He was Producer iirc for that game, basically the "idea man". His control for it, whatever how small, was still handicapped by SEGA's retardedness dealing with Microsoft's bullshit demands. And as with ShTH, same thing, he didn't direct that game, that was Iizuka. He hasn't directed any 3D Sonic game, only produced at the time. His best strength was being the programmer, but SEGA decided that was dumb to do for Sonic's 3D debut.

Is it just me, or is 4/sthg/ seriously overreacting to things? It's unnatural how same-minded everyone is there.

>>15139 >same-minded in a chan Oh anon, how can you say that.

>>15140 I know, but it just feels like a lot. 4/sthg/ was always a bit dark, but lately, it's been unbearable.

>>15139 some of it is just shitposting, especially anything that's obviously just someone from /tv/ or /v/ looking to fuel the fire. But I'm also sure the movie was a breaking point for a lot of people. Remember everything that's happened since after Generations or even just in the past 3 years. Now we have this trainwreck of a movie on top of all of that and it's not going to go away for another 7-8 months at the minimum. People are not happy. Are they overreacting? Of course. But it feels good to rant and be around likeminded people especially when it seems like everywhere you go, everyone is is against you. They'll calm down eventually. Just give it time. Things will go back to normal when we get a substantial piece of good news.

>>15142 Thanks. Now then, let's talk about something more pressing. What is the best Crush 40 song?

>>15143 No time for that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnqTNa1Pt5Q

>>15143 Live Life

>>15141 For the past few year, imageboards have been dark and unbearable (just that /sthg/ is the least piss). Don't worry if other don't give a shit then the aids won't spread like wildfire. >>15144 oh fuk >>15143 It Doesn't Matter

https://twitter.com/fowltown/status/1124056098925944832?s=20 Why say this when it's too late to make any changes? If it's really someone that works on this thing, as much as I can appreciate the thought, if you couldn't get the design to work in a real life setting without making it look like crap, then it's not worth it. People rather want on model Sonic, even if it doesn't look realistic. Because that's what makes him look appealing.

>>15148 >Why say this when it's too late to make any changes? damage control. but on a serious note I'm sure there's still time to make some very minor changes. Obviously they can't change the entire model but they could fix one or two little things. Like those goddamn teeth.

>>15148 >you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. >Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed I hope, i'm sure it would just be design, if we're lucky, since most film don't even get this type of treatment during midway through.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_k2EYtvq30 Welp. Guess it's time to accept that people liking S3K, SA2, 06, or Mania… isn't a bad thing. As long as you enjoy it, it's good. Maybe when we all accept that, things can be good for everyone.

>e-celebs Come on, man.

>>15152 Honestly, I've never had issue with what part of Sonic people liked. That being said, I am curious if SEGA is gonna acknowledged the Sonic movie if it's a success

>>15148 I don't see a verified mark so I'm skeptical, but in any case they don't have anything to lose with statements like these. Fans already hate them so there's no negative consequences for them no matter what else they do at this point, and at best they might manage to fracture opinions which plays in their favor.

>>15156 Is there somewhere I can download the animated shorts in hd?

>>15157 Use youtube-dl (with –ffmpeg-location to get the best quality available). If you ask nicely I could upload them for you.

>>15158 Will you? Pretty please?

>>15129 >when it was actual fans of Sonic behind the movie's direction I really want to know what was it like what they were working on and if it had any relation to what the movie ended up being or if Paramount scrapped the whole thing.

>>15159 Fine, but only because I like you no homo It'll take a while to upload with my terrible upload speed. Is Mega okay for you?

>>15161 Yeah, that sounds alright. Thanks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNB4Cy4mftI >>15143 Coming through like a knight of the wind

>>15144 Oh, shit, I thought we still had a week until the next one. Will have to watch this later today.

What are the chances they'll do a Movie Sonic costume and run around a busy area scarring children?

>>15165 I'd do it, that shit would be hilarious I imagine it being like those prank videos where people dress up as clowns and go around scaring people at night

>>15162 Delivery for Anonymous! 182 MB of dolphin porn just like you asked! https://mega.nz/#F!nognHYzS!RcxclpbkX5TWI73a4IAehg

>>15167 Blessed

>>15167 >dolphin porn

>>15144 >Tangle & Whisper #0 is Sonic's FCBD comic Pretty cool, glad to see Sonic's back on FCBD. >No TSR preorder on PC What are the chances they pull one of the latest popular jew moves in the industry and take the game to Epic store? Sega always seemed on top of those trends.

>>14803 Shame Milos has been normalfag'd.

>>15167 Why couldn't the new film be something like this? Simple, 2D, a lot of fun.

>>15172 Because we can not have anything nice.

>>15172 >>15173 I really don't know why 2D animation is just not something American marketers like. CGI or liveaction, but mostly the latter over anything else. I miss the theatrical animation era.

>>15174 I guess after Princess and the Frog, the execs of the studios figured that it wasn't worth it, at least not traditionally animated. Though its failure was probably due to the story itself than anything, but execs don't want to take risks anymore. And then I don't know why they don't like 2D films made digitally.

>>15175 But is the risk greater in a case like that compared to something like the current Sonic movie which has to employ real actors, Jim Carrey among them? I think they just don't care because they don't have to care, they are going to make money regardless of most variables so why try to make something complex and nuanced that requires actual skill and effort?

>>15176 That too, but not only are films like The Smurf cheaper to produce than Princess and the Frog, in the eyes of the corporations, the former brought in a lot more money than the flop of the latter, and because they're money-first, they'll keep making what produces them money. They don't care about art indeed, they produce the same trash because it's making them money. Why change what isn't broken?

>>15167 Thank you anon! You made my night!

>>15177 So, nothing new will be created, and the things that already existed will be overwritten with deformed clones. Nobody'll be able to find the original works because the cheap knockoffs are deliberately named so that they'll dominate search results. Eventually people will grow up never knowing the originals even existed. History is being rewritten right in front of our eyes.

I was watching some TSR videos but I just keep getting mad. Look at all these beautiful Sonic scenes we aren't getting in a movie.

>>15178 Any time anon.

>>15179 All in the name of profit. One may find solace in the knowledge that things are always changing. I really, really like Sakura.

Bump Good morning /sthg/

https://twitter.com/nakayuji/status/1124138211918270464?s=20 "The power of sonic fans is amazing. It is good to go in a good direction. Thank you so much for loving Sonic. The design of the movie "Sonic the Movie" has changed. Production side breaks down" - Yuji Naka I really think this is becoming a speical time. No matter how bad things get, people won't quit. I believe if more fans actually get together to support the series, whether in the light of Taxman or just as artists, things has a change to get better for the series.

>>15185 >>15061 >>15186 >The design of the movie "Sonic the Movie" has changed. Production side breaks down I can't believe how many people swallowed Fowler's words. I can't be the only one that thinks he will never deliver for one reason or another, right?

>>15187 I don't believe him either. He's either lying or this was some really bizarre marketing stunt. Maybe the leaks were plants and the trailer design was fake and they'll hype up a """"""new"""""" design which was actually what they had the whole time. But I doubt it because that's absolutely asinine and unrealistic. It's more likely he's just lying. We can't expect major changes. It's too late unless they delay the movie. At best they'll change Sonic's teeth and give him a shadow and proper lighting. That's it

>>15187 Given that the film has already wrapped up shooting & is coming out in 6 months, I don't expect to see any real changes to the design, but it's also gonna cause people to be even more pissed off if they claim that there's gonna be changes only to be full of shit.

>>15187 Only if he deleys the film. Under certain situations, the only chances would be surface value, aka, the base design is unchancable, but things like shoes design, stomach color, and at most, slightly bigger back spines are the only things that can be changed without having to do much backchecking to see if it looks off or something. Things like, the most mandatory thing needed to be fixed, the face, aren't possible imo in 6 months. Unless he delays the firm to MMarch of next year, I ain't expecting much. Imo, I not mad he gave a "blanket" appology to fix what he fucked up, it's how appolgenic the *fans* are about give the team "time and care" to fix Sonic's design. I am far aware it's not THEIR fault, it's the directors fault for forcing out such a shit design, but these people aren't going to, e.g, slap Sonic's in game model into the movie and call it a day, because A: That's impossible without completely redoing all of the animation work in the movie thus far, and B: If it was that easy to do, they'd just do that in the first place. All I can hope for is, fix the face. Literally everything else I can just let go, but if they could fix the face in time? DO IT. That's all I can unreasonably ask for, but I'm not expecting it. I hate all the doomsaying, but what's done is done.

>>15187 I'm looking for an interview from last year about the movie and I'm finding a lot of big publications echoing the tweet about altering how Sonic looks. It's gonna be funny seeing how they get away from this one, it's gotten pretty big it seems.

>>15192 That is way too good

Oh shit, an unused track from Sonic 2 was apparently found: https://twitter.com/KSlackie/status/1123730407344758784

These are the currently announced games for the Mega Drive Mini. There's 20 of them, with 20 more to be announced before its release in September. Which games not listed would you like to get included? Hard mode: no Sonic 3 and/or Knuckles. I'd enjoy Mortal Kombat and The Lion King because I remember playing them a lot as a kid.

>>15198 >No Sonic 3 or Knuckles They really need to figure this whole MJ shit out. Sonic 3 hasn't had a re-release since Steam in 2012.

>>15198 >No Based Vectorman Fix that.

>>15197 I can never understand how creators that have this sort of things don't think of dropping them online for others to enjoy, specially when they're as open as this guy that just shows it off like it's nothing. Even a video, or an interview, or something, would be better than nothing. Anyway, let's wait and see what happens on Monday.

>>15201 Other than being a possible breach of NDA? It stops potential clients from feeling like hiring them if they're going to end up leaking material the client doesn't want to be public.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZrxWVi19oU Well, glad to see people still using this engine to its abilities.

>>15199 What part of >20 more to be announced do you not understand?

>>15202 Considering Masato Nakamura owns his productions from back in the day, he probably owns his stuff too. Having said that, it's been 27 years, I doubt anyone cares anymore either way, not even him considering he's showing it off in public.

>>15204 Oh. I honestly doubt Sonic 3 will see release, though. It's tied up with so much legal bullshit right now man.

>>15203 Jesus, that's too excessively automated. And the engine is kind of clunky. I haven't played the original Crisis City, is this a port or a remake that's just made in this way?

>>15207 It's a level ported into the fan made engine; The Sonic Infinity engine. The creator, Oben, quit working on the engine because of some drama with other Sonic fans and lost interest in adding more to the engine, hence the "clunkiness" the rail mechanic in this isn't even native to what was available in the latest release, but the engine is made in Unreal so it's open source and they likely just use some Unreal spline stuff to make it work regardless. However there are ports of 06 happening as of late, one from a year ago, and a new one just recently worked on by a separate team of one or two people.

>>15208 So is that insane amount of red rings also in the original map?

>>15209 Actually no, lol. I think most of the automation in that is because they have to use setpieces to take the same paths you would take in the actual game, although that's not saying much. The fact the Infinty engine is a boost styled gameplay engine, while 06 wasn't built for that, is kinda why there's a lot more extra stuff needed to make it translate the same without rebuilding the layout of the original stage for a boost style gameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aetyUz3Y9uA Looks like they listened. Let's hope the hippies actually get it right this time…
