How do you feel about aliens in Sonic games? I never could like them outside of CD’s (and by extension Mania’s) brief appearance of UFOs in the Special Stages. Especially now with the “two worlds” thing adding more confusion. Like Zero Gravity’s story rubbed me the wrong way with the Ancient Babylonians apparently not just being anthro bird descendants of genies but how those “genies” were stranded ETs which just piled on more outlandish stuff. Or maybe that was a clue all along that the two worlds mandate was in effect even back then or perhaps just a retcon since technically the main cast are considered aliens already on Earth. Felt like it was something that the series didn’t need. I instinctively recoiled when the Black Arms, Seedrians, and Wisps were introduced, but that’s just me.

>>19116 As a concept it's not a problem, but how they were used in the games is very hit and miss. Cosmo I like, Wisps outside of gameplay I like, and the Two Worlds thing is rather pointless, but wouldn't be a problem if made obvious since 90s era Sonic. The worse use of them is just like the worse use of humans: too dark/realistic next to Sonic. Black Arms, namely Black Doom is something I think is really out of place. Also Shadow being part alien because of that is convoluted since he's already alien to human DNA basically. Also the Zeti, the opposite extreme to Black Doom. Concept is ok, execution is bad, only Zazz and Zavok should have existed at most with better writing for Zavok, but worse offense is designs as well.

Watch out for the "Sonic the Hedgehog" to gain momentum ahead of its 30th anniversary in 2021! This time we have 21 kinds of wallpaper data and Twitter icons! Year of the 20s for Sonic it seems.
Is the board index broken for anyone else? I can't see the last few posts or even this thread in it. >>19114 Can someone explain what's going on in that pic?
>>19118 Always good to get more Sonic stuff to keep the word going, I'm happy to see the Modern side slowly awakening. I wonder what else they have planned for the rest of the year other than art, maybe something with Ohtani? JP social team has done stuff with him before. Can't wait to 2021 but I really hope they don't fuck it up…

Just found out this place came back, it feels great to be back.
>>19123 Welcome back! You picked a pretty bad moment to come back though, site has been misbehaving since yesterday. Make sure you bookmark the bunker's address just in case. I'm happy more people are finding their way back.
>>19124 I did notice the place is quite slow to load up, but all the same it's great to be here again. Maybe with the upcoming Sonic news this place will start picking up!
>>19125 That would be sweet. We gained some speed last week but we got slower again over the weekend.
>>19118 Not sure if it really counts as a bold prediction but, don't be surprised if we get the announcement of a new game this year.
>>19127 I keep seeing people saying this and it's so tempting to get hopeful and believe but I need to resist.
>>19128 IIRC, the speculation came from a few Iizuka quotes around 2019 about how they've already started development on the next title & that "2021 is gonna be a big year for Sonic."
Just FYI, the site is being particularly annoying and sometimes it believes the thread was deleted when the auto-update kicks in and when that happens it will not continue updating it, so don't depend on the auto-update for now.

>>19132 God dammit it's so frustrating when you put them side by side.
>>19132 As much as all the references is making some people from 4/sthg and other half chan places that talked about the references in past movie/comic related updates, Paramount knows how to advertise their product better than SEGA does. Maybe 2021 will change that.
>>19135 I meant to word that as "they get upset about the references"
>>19135 Do they really? I don't think the references are so out of the ordinary, the only thing that looks extraordinary is the amount of irl advertising they got, but it might not be so out of the ordinary either if you take into account the difference in overall budget.
>>19136 Why are they upset? I'd have thought they'd be all over this shit more than Bump would be over anon's lap.
>>19138 > than Bump would be over anon's lap. Lol >>19137 I believe it's because Sonic has been reduced to "member the good old days?" and as for IDW Ian was using old game quotes and past moments/locations to use as story narration and it got on people's nerves. Imo, as much as I am getting tired of the classic era shilling despite me being a classic era fan, it's moreso that SEGA hasn't done new stuff for Sonic lately so I guess that's why, but I myself don't dislike the references, just from SEGA though I can understand. Paramount doing that is ok because I'm sure most of them came from Tyson Hesse's input when we worked with them for the redesign.
>>19117 I grew to like the Wisps myself after the initial Colors presentation (I thought the game was going to be a much weirder non boost spin-off at first glance) and would have liked to see them return in a Colors 2 after Gens but much later down the road. They reappeared in Lost World with the explanation is that some of them "stayed behind because they liked Earth" despite the planets teleporting away in the end and then their actual implementation in that one and subsequent reappearances apparently soured their good will with a lot of people. The Zeti themselves got it even worse since they didn't develop any meaningful characteristics besides their main ones and came off as bland but they, particularly Zavok also kept getting pushed by Sonic Team for the sake of having a rogues' gallery. Both Zeti and the Black Arms also didn't do much in ways of world building. The Deadly Six are hundreds of years old on Lost Hex and Black Doom had visited Earth for at least 2 millenia but we never get any insight as to their origins of their home worlds and why they're evil in the same way that the Knuckles Tribe for instance, had waged war after their chief's mother had died and got the emeralds for the sake of empowering themselves only for it to kill them in the end, resulting in the creation of Angel Island as we know it.
>>19139 >Paramount doing that is ok because I'm sure most of them came from Tyson Hesse's input when we worked with them for the redesign. Tyson really did them a a big favor. The guy did the closest thing that could be done to save the project other than to start from scratch, nobody was giving the movie the time of day before and now it looks like there are some people excited. He should have asked for at least a million.

>>19116 >Seedrians Even more cringe than "Mobius."
>>19116 I think the idea of having aliens is fine. I mean, Sonic CD entirely takes place on an alien planet. I think retconning already established characters and concepts to be alien in nature is stupid, but I don't think aliens themselves are unfitting in the Sonic universe. I mean, Mega Man introduce actual aliens as early as Mega Man 3, and it didn't really hurt that series or majorly affect it.

>>19149 Killerman is Killerman.
>>19148 Mega Man 3 only introduced other planets; the enemies were manmade. Actual aliens weren't seen until Super Adventure Rockman. Mega Man V, if you count the unseen aliens that created the Stardroids. And Little Planet only contains the same type of wildlife found on Sonic's world.
>>19147 They're fine terms, even though Seedrians is a (IIRC) fan-made name for Cosmo's race in Sonic X.
>>19152 I kind of wish they would give a name to Sonic's World already. Doesn't have to be Mobius. Did they never name Cosmo's race, either?

>>19171 I think they're still alive on Discord, but they're alive nonetheless.
>>19116 I think it's too broad of a concept to love or hate, in the end you can get whatever you want out of it so it's a matter of execution whether you get something that really goes well with Sonic or something that clashes with it. Ultimately I think I'd be of the idea of keeping it limited because if you go too deep you're probably going to have to waste a lot of resources explaining things about the ayyliens and it's going to come out a mess, but on the other hand doing that sounds like it would produce a shallow and dull story. tl;dr: get good writers

If Sonic likes adventures so much it makes sense at some point they'd run out of locations and go to space. Not that they have to since it's fictional anyways. >>19195 Sad Adventure Sonic is so cute. I think part of the reason Modern Sonic looks so flat is they are afraid to mess with his eye line. It's always the same shape instead of sharper like Shadow's when mad, or the reverse when sad. I noticed movie Sonic looked like he had more tude and from what I can tell it's because the eye shape is more sharp like Shadow.

>>19219 No, one doesn't quite imply the other. This music is just low effort, much like everything else with this movie. >If this stuff that is for the movie is what the new generation likes, more power to them.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with atmospheric and movie music in general :( I thought the song was cool first impressions but it seems like people on the chans don’t like it. I’m thinking because they don’t think it’s Sonic though but that’s probably not what it is in reality and what my head keeps saying. I kinda think that a 1:1 rendition or just ripping songs from the games and throwing them into a big movie is preposterous. Especially if that’s all the OST is going to be.

>>19226 >mfw it's true >Tay K was sentenced to 55 years in prison (and is still awaiting for another trial for murder) I knew it sounded like a nigger song but I wasn't expecting it to actually be this much of one. At some point I pretty much came to the conclusion that they were going to do whatever the hell they wanted and combined with how misguided they were I knew it could have gone anywhere but it's still somehow hard to process what they're doing to Sonic. I just fucking hope to god none of this ends up somehow affecting the main franchise by giving Sonic Team weird ideas. >>19227 I also didn't pay a lot of attention to the lyrics, they're hard to get and honestly didn't think it was worth the effort.

I don't have any problems with the fact that the song is a rap or the artists involved, but I don't really feel it's about sonic. It's just a song about their gangster hood life or something, and besides the use of words like "rings", "speed" and "going fast" and the (arcade-y?) intro I would never have guessed this was Soniic related if you made me listen to it two days ago.
>>19231 Can't really speak for a lot of those references but if a job's well done it's well done. This isn't. I don't think the rap in the adventures can be compared to this thing either.

>>19255 Thanks for the context. Now that I got a more intended view on the song… I don't hate it. I think the first rapper is honestly the best part of it all, but it's honestly just "fun", like, it's like a fun little video that I shouldn't feel like it has to be something that I should expect in like a real Sonic game, you know? I honestly gave me heavy Wreck it Ralph credit vibes because of the sprite animations. And I honestly think they animated it better here then in Wreck it Ralph imo I hope there's more than just this though. Maybe if they did more of these with other musicals maybe people will calm down about this tiny little thing.

>>19228 Well I listened closer. Some parts of it is fine, I liked it. Other parts, I think Lil Yatchy(?) was peculiar. >>19231 Yeah we had black people and black inspirations before. I talked about it around enough but I think rap has a place in Sonic and it doesn’t have to be just all rock/punk. Sonic takes inspiration from a lot of things and frankly he was pop first despite the artwork of him being in a rock band. Some people even admit that they’re upset because it’s not Crush 40 or even Hunnid-P and even if the latter was even considered, he doesn’t want to do it because he doesn’t want to be just known as the Sonic guy. He went off on people because of it a few years back because no one wants to support him financially and support his non-Sonic music.
>>19257 Yeah totally, I like it too. I think it fits Sonic as well even though some may say it’s too slow or not fast enough. It’s as fast as Metropolis Zone.

Consensus of Speed Me Up >Wiz is a 8/10 >Yachty is a solid 5/10 >Dolla $ign is a 6/10 >Sueco is trash, 2/10 If Wiz solo'd this entire song with better lyrics I'd legit call it a good song. People should realize Sonic has had many tracks in the 90s that wasn't "video game" music, and this one of them. Fine as a ad in a sense, reminds me of the Super Mario Land rap they did for Daisy that aired on live radio before. Overall, I do like the instruments itself, it has this very vaperware touched to it that I really like. It sounds like a 90s radio Sonic, Sonic's "Gotta Recuse Daisy" 25 years late.
>>19300 Huh. TIL there was a Mario Land rap number in the 90s. I haven't listened to Speed Me Up yet, but that's mostly due to me being hesitant given that movie rap numbers can either fall in two categories: Surprisingly catchy, or a very lame attempt at trying to appeal to younger audiences. Guess I'll give it a listen tomorrow. >>19298 Welcome back, anon!

>>19309 Maybe, but only via burned out Sonic fans of the 90s/2000s. It's been stated on twitter some early access audiences got to see the movie and claim to say it's good. So, here's hoping the rest of the world thinks so. To me, it's not about the longtime fans, it's a product meant for everyone. And honestly, Sonic NEEDS this now more than ever. Constantly pandering to older fans without giving something good for newcomers to enjoy is the thing that separates the good quality of Mario from Sonic.
>>19314 How about we hope the movie is good instead of hoping everyone thinks it's good regardless? I'd rather see the franchise die than become terrible shit that just happens to appeal to the masses. We're lucky the only lasting damage Bayformers did to TF is Bumblebee's perpetual muteness. I don't want to roll those dice with Sonic.

Are we going to cry up a storm at the age of 80 that Sonic in the 90s/2000s/2010 isn't the status quo and should be appealing to you 70+ years past the age range the series is meant for? I'll never get anyone with this mindset. You shouldn't ever think anything you grew up with is going to resonate the same way it did when it first started. I can even think of anything that was a certain way 50+ years ago and still has the same appeal back then by the latest generation. I at least hope I won't be so jaded to think everything Sonic should be nothing but classic Sonic just because I grew up with Sonic in the 90s.

It's baffling that you'd say this is what the series needs instead of… literally anything else. >Constantly pandering to older fans without giving something good for newcomers to enjoy is the thing that separates the good quality of Mario from Sonic. Nostalgia pandering isn't even the biggest problem, if the games would have been a product of careful design people would at least be happy but that's not the case and it's not going to make a difference if you pander to someone else if your games just aren't good. It's not like Sonic has such deep lore that someone new would have trouble understanding anything, anyway.

I mean, I don't know what else to say since you're rather irrational but I'll be fair and state I didn't say I'd like if the movie was liked, all I want is just content for Sonic to not end up like 06 or Boom, absolute failures.

>>19360 > Are you planning on adding a momentum-less bounce after homing attack for better precision? Honestly… no. I really want to keep the move pool of the game tightly focused. I'm one of the few people that seriously dislike precision in a 3D Sonic game. 3D games in general aren't anywhere as precise as their 2D counterparts, and I feel like the slower you are, the more precise you can make your character. Needless to say, Sonic isn't a slow series. I'd rather design the levels with more space in mind so that, to quote ShayMay here: "It's about when you jump, rather then where you jump." And I think a situation where you pulled off something precise on a whim like say, that monitor bounce at the end of the update video, feels more satisfying because you anticipated it rather then needing to do something like that all the time. That being said, I do plan to take precision into account in a more controlled form in the game, like obstacle courses and whatnot, but otherwise, you shouldn't have to expect to be precise when just playing through the main camping.

So anons. What are some themes/locations that has and hasn't happened in Sonic games you can think of? I've played Sonic but I haven't played EVERY Sonic game, so I'd like to know what has been done before, and any ideas that hasn't be done before could be fun. Like, was there ever a time they tried castles before? Not a haunted one like in Heroes.
>>19408 There was a few castle themed stages, but the one that comes to mind immediately is Kingdom Valley from Sonic 06
>>19408 06's Kingdom Valley was castle themed, right? Mania's Titanic Monarch too. I'd love some sort of starting level in which it's nightime, and as the player progresses the sun starts to rise on the horizon until it's around 8-9 am. That's all I know I'd like to see on a stage.

>>19408 Sonic and the black knight had a castle; maybe two. As a failed attempt, it appears Sonic 2 almost had one.

>>19408 >castles Dragon Road maybe comes sort of close? Man, coming up with interesting places for Sonic to run in is more difficult than I thought, specially with the condition of them having not been done before. >>19412 I knew that looked like it came out of Wolfenstein.

>>19419 What was the last time Sega pulled a C&D on a Sonic-related fangame?
>>19420 Not Sonic related, but Streets Of Rage related (coming from the fact they were about to release that same game on the same platform a month later)… I'm honestly pretty shocked they're a little too cool about these things (especially when it comes to Japanese Copyright Policies). It would make sense if they asked the developers to port it with a royalty tax or something, but they aren't even blinking an eye over it. If it was any other Japanese Company, they'd have their dicks cut off for "dishonour of values" within a month…
>>19420 This isn't really a "fan game", though, it's parts of an official game being repackaged and freely distributed.
>>19422 Unless they used some Open Source Code to make the original Mania itself, I'm not that hopeful that this port will remain on the internet for that long… Remember when Nintendo purged that Commodore 64 port of Super Mario?

Well, this just proves how many Sonic games I just didn't play/forgot which castle levels were used lol That being said, it's sad the only one I liked was Heroes but I wish it didn't have to be haunted. I guess the only other one is Robo Blast 2. But thinks for the feedback anyways anons.
>>19431 No problem anon. Tbh, I've played a lot of Sonic games but I forgot most of these stages
>>19432 I also have a lot of trouble remembering stages from games, even from the great and memorable ones.
>>19425 Marza's been doing these sketches since they first created the twitter account last August. I think it's just to get attention on the account and they keep doing them since it gets a lot of positive reception. I ain't gonna complain, I love seeing the ghosts. It's also important to note that they do also draw characters from their other projects as well.

>>19446 Nobody really knows with certainty. I think they were supposed to be working on the CGI when the movie was Sony Picture's, and people speculated Marza bailed together with Sony when the movie changed hands to Paramount but Marza did acknowledge they were still working on it on their Twitter not so long ago. Probably still working on the CGI given that that's what they do.

I just don't care at this point. I'm not allowed to like anything Sonic does anymore if it's not pandering to pre 2006 era so why should I care anymore. I wish I could go online without being tied to Sonic fans anymore. I came here to ignore the drama but it still lingers…

>>19481 Ok then I'm not allowed to like the Movie. It's not going to be some masterpiece, I'm not dumb, but I'm not going to call it bad either since I don't see anything obsessive about it. I'm not allow to have issues with 2000s era Sonic. If I do I'm not a real fan of Sonic. I'm not allow to care about the genesis games because they are 2D, pixel based, or some other buzzword like "not soulful" or something like that. I'm not allowed to like how the gameplay of the genesis games are amazing for Sonic because 2D bad. I'm not allowed to like anything from the boost era of Sonic just because it's not like 2000s era Sonic. Yes I don't really care too much about Pontac and Graff's localization, but that's far from my issues from the boost era games. I think boosting has a purpose, I just think it needs to be reevaluated into something better for the series instead of doing what Forces did. I'm not allowed to have an opinion because the common hugbox makes it were if it's not 2000s Sonic I'm retarded. This is anywhere I go, Twitter, Youtube, halfchan, etc. Wherever I even think Sonic, I see continuous in fighting over the state of the series.
>>19486 Plenty of people on Twitter and YouTube like the movie, have issues with 2000s-era Sonic, and like the Genesis/Boost games. I can't speak for the accounts you follow, but maybe you should leave 4chan if it's that much of a problem for you.
>>19486 I mean, just speaking on the movie, I think it's gonna be a harmless family movie that won't have much if any negative impact on Sonic. I still see Boost-era games like Generations & Unleashed getting love, people being critical of some of the lesser aspects of 2000s Sonic, etc. Maybe you just need to change what communities you hang around in?
(681.80 KB 767x1042 ClipboardImage.png)

>>19486 You're allowed to like whatever you want, anon. Many people liking one thing over the other doesn't make it a universal law. I know there's lots of people who enjoy 06's gameplay for example. I respect their opinion, even if I disagree. The problem arises when you start thinking in absolutes. By the way, I don't know where you've been but the movie has way more positivity than negativity thrown thowards it. Same thing when talking about 2D Sonic, and some of the boost games like Gens and Unleashed.
>>19479 The way I see it it's kind of the opposite, with the other design we would probably get a lot of shit at first but then it would just be left behind like, say, Boom. The way it has been marketed after the redesign makes me think we're never going to see the end of it, and I don't think Sega would hesitate for a moment to ditch everything for something that makes them more money than what they have now. But it can go either way I guess. >>19484 I think I'll wait and see if cytube anon streams it at some point. I think I remember someone mentioning something to that extent. Even if the movie was my wet dream I'd be so conflicted about going out to see a Sonic movie alone.
>>19485 It would be nice if we could see it together in a cytube or something >>19490 This exactly
>>19487 Really? I wish I seen these. Most of the people that do defend the movie gets called out for it though, if you actively look at the comment section of them. If you didn't actually participate in those discussions you shouldn't just dismiss the points that people, when they are positive about Sonic content, they don't get backlash from it. All we want is just to take in the good when it comes.

There wasn't anything violently weird or bad about it, and it slowly became the thing to talk about when referring to that spinoff, rather than the game itself. The movie, on the other hand, as you can see is a much bigger thing. It's a worldwide event and puts Sonic on the spotlight in front of everyone for the first time in a decade or two. Now imagine that creepy furry thing getting licked in the face by a realistic dog. I don't know about you, but such a scene would be fucking engraved in my skull for quite some time from the sheer ugliness of it.

>>19493 That Blaze pic is lovely. Who's the artist?
>>19490 I mean if anything, SEGA will probably just greenlight more Sonic movies to capitalize on its potential success, which is something Paramount has expressed interest in doing already. Because if I'm being honest, the only things new about the film that makes it stand apart from the rest of the franchise are the designs of Sonic & Robotnik. Everything else is pretty much reusing stuff we've gotten before in some shape or form. >>19495 Actually, one thing I do find exciting about the movie is the amount of potential Sonic fans it could create. It wouldn't surprise me if SEGA were "drop the ball" as it were, but a lot of people are gonna probably check out the series/take another look at Sonic once this thing rolls out. With SEGA pretty much confirming the Classic/Modern structure of games going forward, it'd be interesting to see what they could pull out
>>19486 You're allowed to like whatever you want but don't forget that as much as you have criticism about certain aspects of the franchise that other people like, others will have criticism about certain aspects of the franchise that you like, and you're inevitably going to have to swallow that even if the dosage varies depending on the places you frequent. I would never be surprised about people fighting over the franchise given its history but honestly these days I mostly see people just enjoying what they enjoy and not that much drama, but then again the only place that I frequent where deeper discussion could come up is here. Twitter is for cute art and Youtube for kickass music and animations, so overall I'm thinking I cheat the current state of things because when I look at those places, discussion is centered around the good content I'm enjoying instead of controversial things. >I'm not allow to care about the genesis games Lol where have you been hanging out? I mean shitting on the Genesis games has always been quite difficult given how easy it is to dismiss it given their reputation, history and accomplishments. Honestly the way I saw it was that Genesisfags were the ones always shitting on everything else given how easy it is to shitpost with those facts backing you up.

>>19495 The coverage Boom received for being a shitshow was much bigger than the coverage it received for having an okay animated series which now barely anyone talks about. The movie is a much bigger thing now, but I don't think it would have had the same coverage if it was deemed a failure by everyone like it was pre redesign (like it happened with Boom, remember the leaked plans Sega had for that franchise?). After so much drama regarding the franchise and the characters I think people are slowly getting immunized about it. 06 was a huge stink that still makes waves 14 years later, Boom was a big stink that was mostly forgotten, the movie would have probably been somewhere in the middle but if it bombed hard Sega would have just pretended it never happened like they always do and moved on. Although I guess maybe they could have also somehow rushed into conclusions about Sonic and deemed his situation insurmountable or destined even less resources to the franchise. The only things likely now are that this is probably here to stay, that we're probably never going to get a proper animated Sonic movie by Marza, and that this is probably going to further drive wedges into the fanbase even more.
>>19504 >a proper animated Sonic movie by Marza Playing devil's advocate, we were probably never getting that. And again, there's not much to the movie that can really drive a wedge in the fandom, outside of where to rank Sonic's movie design. Which thankfully, we haven't really gotten yet. The movie itself will obviously stick with people who are getting into the series for the first time & this is their first experience, but the only thing I can see causing a schism are the designs. Outside of that, it's just a simple Sonic movie that cribs some of its premise from Sonic X with a dash of Eggman origin story, tbh
>>19484 i'd camrip it myself if i had the confidence and if i were seeing it on release, but since im seeing it with friends we need to plan around who can be there and what theatres are the closest so i can't even use my timezone to my advantage (it's releasing on the 13th here but it'd basically be the 12th for muricans)

So I've gotten to play Forces thanks to that torrent and… It's better than Lost World. And this time I waited past the first stage to have this opinion so far. Just to stress, the gameplay isn't that much better than LW, it's about 30% better, but I won't call it until I completely finish it later
>>19517 That wouldn't be the idea, otherwise there would be no difference to creating a new place from scratch. >>19518 So the torrent works huh. I still haven't given it a try, maybe I'll have some time over the weekend. What do you think of each gameplay style?

>>19519 >What do you think of each gameplay style? Well I wanted to wait until I finished to truly judge but to cut it short: Classic is trash, Modern and Avatar is better but still worse than Unleashed/Generations. I'll go into deeper detail when I'm done.

They said LW was actually written by Pontac and Graff, and I can completely understand why people can't stand them. When they just localize shit it's just taking the better Jap script and making it dumber with stupid lines like "tortured for months", but this ENTIRE GAME is nothing but stupid lines, namely by all the zeti/tails repeating tropes/quips like those are the best lines known to entertainment or something. I'm not even a deep story fan in Sonic, but LW even drove me off the wall. Mediocre gameplay is one thing, but mediocre gameplay with terrible narration is enough to just make me not continue in a game like that. There was honest to god more enjoyment out of Forces than LW, all because of the lack of LW's crappy jokes and terrible characterization, at least to THAT degree.

Could 3D sonic be on the verge of a new era? Part of me wants this AMA to be real because it means more Sonic news by the end of the year and Sonic possibly turning around in terms of quality but it also means Aaron is gigantic asshole and Sega in general is being run into the ground
>>19566 I'd take it with a massive grain of salt. If the next Sonic title was in development for 5-6 years, that basically means Forces was a filler title, which I have some doubts about. Besides, we're supposed to be getting Sonic news at least once a month this year.
>>19567 >that basically means Forces was a filler title it definitely felt like it was. It felt like a tech demo they slapped together to show off the lighting engine but once they realized they had no other 25th anniversary game besides Mania, they put a tiny bit more content in it to make it into a 'full' game. There was also that rumor that SoJ already had a game in development based on making your own customizable animal character and Sonic Forces was just that game but with Sonic and Classic Sonic slapped on
>>19566 They had 4 years to invest in Forces and didn't, and the result was far from what you would expect in terms of quality for the kind of time they could have dedicated to it. I hate to be a downer but it sounds like a mistake to aim your expectations high no matter how good things are looking.

>>19566 >>19571 >>19572 Well they said they just got started on a new Sonic game last year in an event with Jun Senoue following TSR. So if the non conceptual stage began at or near the tail end of Forces’s development in 2017, it would be another 4 year game assuming it comes out for the 30th anniversary.
>>19575 Here's hoping they spend their time wisely.
>>19576 I forgot to mention in my previous post, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are due by the end of the year. Who knows if we’ll go through the same show again that they did for Forces’s development on 8th gen hardware. What path will they take considering the Switch; will we get an ambitious title that will skip it? An outsourced version ala Unleashed by Dimps? Them still trying for parity as much as they can, or just sticking with the 8th gen consoles for this one? A real wild card would be an updated “Pro” version of the Switch or new Nintendo console altogether-but there are no signs of that happening and imagine Sonic Team must be a little leery on a repeat of Boom’s Wii-U port job.
(281.41 KB 1024x1024 Becky2.png)

So I've beaten Forces. It's at most a 6/10 game. I enjoyed it more than Lost World, but it's far worse than Unleashed/Gens as a boost game, the worse classic Sonic game since Genesis (GBA port) and it's what I'd call a "tunnel vision" game. There's so many oversights to what would have normally been spot checked for quality control that it honestly leaves me more baffled then mad. To make it short; >Modern Sonic's air controls, in 3D, are somehow worse than in 2D. Your momentum carries in 2D almost like in the classic games, EXCEPT when you let go of the stick all together, which you instantly stop on a dime. It's jarring and awkward, but only when you actively let go of the stick >Classic Sonic's air controls are the exact opposite, you stop on a dime no matter what you do and it feels terrible. I don't understand how both Sonic's can have completely different controls both between dimensions AND between just Modern Sonic himself. the OC has similar controls to Modern Sonic to notice anything different. You also have 8 directional movement, just like Lost World, which is terrible. >Classic Sonic's physics are, in all do respect, not as bad as people claim, because the surprising thing is, if you rolled like you'd should, you actually gain momentum… too much momentum. The level design just wasn't made like the classics (or at least, not 1 to 1 to it) for such an overpowered speed cap since the physics aren't as air tight as the classics, leaving to weird start and stop moments on some walls, and other times, you just jet down a 90 degree incline for no reason. The physics are likely as bad as people claim because they never roll in these examples I see online that I've noticed for the past 3 years since the game came out. All in all, it's better and worse than Generations (which actively slows you down if you rolled) but obviously, Mania and all the genesis games pail in comparison to both Gens/Forces Classic. >The OC is the highlight of the game. I really think if they took a page out of AHiT for how this worked the OC could have been the best part of the game tenfold. But as it is, the OC is too restrictive to both how you design your OC (for reasons I heard was to keep them from being "too cool" next to Sonic) and how you can colorize your outfits, my biggest issue with the OC. Otherwise, it's actually fun and cute for the game's benefit. Overall, all I can say that was good as well was the graphics. The HE2 when you actually see it in game is vastly better than the HE1. I did like the higher contrast of highlights and shadows in Unleashed over Forces, but overall, the biggest issue with Forces isn't the HE2, it's the art design of the entire game. They had it better in Unleashed/Gens and should have stuck with that. Really, Forces as a whole would have been an 8/10 or even 9/10 game if they stuck with Unleashed/Gens as a base to begin with instead of modding Lost World instead.
Do you like chao /sthg/?
>>19580 Damn, you already finished it? It barely took you a day. I was just actually installing it, but I think the repack is fucked and it just won't finish installing. Fuck my luck.
>>19582 Did you verify the bin files first before trying to install the game? There was a file in the folder than stated to do that first. A file called QuickSFV was how to let it do that for you.
>>19582 You never played it either? The game is pretty short even for a Sonic game, like Sonic CD levels of short even, provided you avoid the time stones, hologram projectors and badnik generators. >>19581 Of course. I had finally upgraded my chao to beat the remaining racing and Karate courses this September. If only I hadn’t lost my save data or my original Advance copy, I would have finished it so much sooner. It’s even more painful to realize that I had played the original Advance so much that I maxed out the ring counter for the store and bought every item from it besides maybe all the egg types
>>19583 No, I hadn't done it because the files were downloaded through a torrent and torrents guarantee integrity by hashing all the pieces in the torrent, so it shouldn't be necessary to externally verify the files. But I just did it anyway and as expected, the hashes are fine. No, I think Wine is acting up and I think I saw something crash. I'll look into it tomorrow. >>19584 No, it will be my first time through the game too. Damn, I never expect long Sonic games but this sounds ridiculous.
>>19585 Yes, one of the biggest complaints is it’s length and difficulty. The whole game feels as if it’s on Easy Mode despite having only Normal and Hard. (Which only affects the amount of rings that can be spilled and carried when hit along with recording score and ranking) Unless you go out of way your way to find all the red, number, and silver rings, SOS missions, as well as mess around with the OC customization, it’s not uncommon to beat the main campaign in one day. The last zone with all 3 characters+avatar&Sonic isn’t much bigger than playing through Titanic Monarchic with only one character for reference, if it all.
>>19582 Forces is incredibly short. I cleared it in about 2 and half hours. Most of the levels are about 1 - 2 minutes long.
>>19586 >Unless you go out of way your way to find all the red, number, and silver rings Don't forget to mention that the numbers and silver rings get you nothing for bothering to collect them.
>>19588 Save for points on ranking for the silver rings and achievements, both of which are moot, but still.

I'm going to be doing a school movie review for the sonic movie and id love to know what you felt was your favorite thing filming the movie was and what it was like filming with the others on set some of ben's favourite parts (since he does a lot of work inside VA booths) is seeing his voice acting and the script be made into animation a year later and see sonic actually saying the lines. he also liked the premier and seeing everyone react and laugh and seeing kids excited by the movie >Why do you seem to voice a lot of blue characters? https://sonicthehedgehogmovie.tumblr.com/post/190681665751/why-do-you-seem-to-voice-a-lot-of-blue >Did you play video games growing up? Or do you play them now? he was a huge gamer growing up, (i think he's trying to say that) he tried 100%ing final fantasy 7 as a kid, and even now he's got a switch for when he tours & a genesis mini (he likes sonic 1 and 2) >How are your new best friend Game Grumps? "My best friends, the Gamey Grumpies," he likes the show and he likes being on it since it lets him play a video game to completion (exciting) and how it's playing a video game and talking with friends ("a dream, incredible"). says he's going to do one more either this year or next year >What were some of your favorite lines spoken by yourself? Or other characters? other characters: jim carrey had some incredible lines for him: he improvised a couple of the lines since Jeff Fowler was so cool about letting them improvise cos "the best thing kinda wins", the "There's a fish on my head" line/scene is a mini attempt at a jim carrey in dumb and dumber impression where he goes "Our pet's heads are falling off" >how did it feel having to portray a character which means a lot to a lot of people who have grown up with him? sonic means a lot to him too - he played the original in 1991, sonic 2, sonic 2 on the game gear "where you're hang gliding a lot and the batteries die, immediately? making it nearly impossible unless you plug the game gear in", so he feels honoured by the opportunity and chance to play sonic, "and the fanbase is so passionate and amazing and I really wanna make them proud," says he's lucky that he gets to play sonic, and with the way the movie looks now he's so proud of how it came out >Did you mainly work from the voice acting booth or did you also go on-site for a lot of the shoots? mainly worked in the voice acting booths but also did a few table reads, went to set and got to meet jim carrey which was "an amazing beautiful moment for me", but was mostly in the VA booth "in pajamas and with a bunch of dots on my face and a camera, and we did like 20 or so of those, it was kind of amazing" the rest of the questions i think are jokes >Ben, are you worried you were or will be type cast as a hedgehog? >Do you have any strong opinions about any specific types of cheese and/or bread? >What’s the Jean-Ralphio quote people say to you the most? >My friends and I saw your show with Thomas Middleditch in Toronto last year and loved it.

>>19639 Insane mongrel breeds like Fang exist, so logically Knuckles could end up with children.
>>19641 Yes, but then those children would procreate with non-echidnas, unless they partook in incest, and eventually the echidna genes would become so diluted that they'd barely exist in the population. Sorta like what eventually happened to the Saiyan genes on Earth in Dragon Ball Online. Also, you would think modern spell checkers would recognize the word "echidna" by now.
>>19642 Logically yes, but it'd still be much longer lasting than a legacy comic character realistically. I suppose a character dying over a few generations is more close than just a flat death huh. Logically even stuff like Sally is destined to fade away from the perspective of anything sonic really. Spell checks can't have sane things, they always must have retarded shit going on.
>>19641 I think someone asked Fang’s original designer about his species and said he was something along the lines of originally envisioning him as a gerboa. At least that’s what cybershell deemed him as in a video about him and how Bean was a reference to the Dynamite Dux but he himself has woodpecker qualities and moves.

Continued a bit more into Forces. So far it's… not as bad as I thought it was going to be, honestly. I thought it was going to be offensively bad but it's not so far. The music is also not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I don't think they're great compositions on their own for the most part but they do go well with the game. I actually don't like how they did the boost this time. It's way too fast and difficult to control and they overdid the visual effect so you can't see shit when you're boosting, and they pretty much force you to boost very often which sucks. Also how on rails everything is is rather disgusting. I still haven't gotten used to the controls, there seem to be some odd quirks probably in some cases caused because of how automated everything is. In webm related for example I just couldn't easily aim on the badniks and I remember this happening before too at some other point. >>19671 Yeah, it was down for hours. Getting real tired of this shit.

You know, after playing games that actually bring in classic gameplay into 3D more 1 to 1 than the official Sonic Team games did, it really reveals how I've grown tired of how they handle the level design in Sonic. When you look at the stage as a whole, you just go from set piece to set piece, mostly always just some path without much nuance or effort to progress, it's simple and nothing really challenging. I really wish a new design mentality was sought after, one that makes you think your in an environment to explore and platform in, that uses your own speed without much automation to progress.
>>19672 > It's way too fast and difficult to control and they overdid the visual effect so you can't see shit when you're boosting Huh, really? Not to judge but after seeing this video just today I disagree that Forces has a faster boost. https://twitter.com/slaveofsuzumiya/status/1135360833750478857?s=21 I even discussed about the effects of what makes Sonic seem fast and Forces lacks both of the effects used in Unleashed/Gens so I'd ask the question did you play Unleashed/Gens recently to make that statement? Everything else you said I agree with.
>>19672 As the other anon that finished this a few days ago, the reason for the control quirks is because how Lost World played, because this game was built off from Lost World's gameplay. When you're going sideways, your controls are different than going back and forth. This along with the 8 directional movement and the run button being hardcoded into the game, in other words, going into your "max run state" is done via a flip in the code instead of a button press like in LW because they wanted you to accelerate like in the other boost games without actually making you accelerate so going into top run speed is actually the same programically as pressing the run button in LW. And as for the Homing Attack, I think past games made aerial turning a lot more instant so aiming towards targets was more accurate but by Sonic Unleashed aerial turning became really slow so aiming became still and awkward.
>>19673 >I really wish a new design mentality was sought after This is something I'm actually worried about. Forces really feels like they tried to translate some of the mobile experience they got with Runners into a main game, with the timed rewards, the way dialogue is structured, and the dumb DLC that you have to pay for (Super Sonic being the staple). >one that makes you think your in an environment to explore and platform in Having some exploration mixed in would already be a huge change for the better.
>>19676 Forgot to include at the end of the first paragraph that I hope this isn't the "new mentality" going forward.
>>19673 I don't think the set piece to set piece level structure has anything inherently bad about it, it's nice to see a stage transforming as you go through it. Though I do agree that they haven't been done in a manner that it would challenge players and reward them for taking bigger risks. Unleashed and Gens had some sort of branching paths that rewarded quick thinking, but it was more than anything rewarding the knowledge of the stage layout rather than skill, jumping at a precise moment to get on a higher ledge while >>>boosting like a maniac<<<
>>19674 Maybe it's not faster than in other games, but I don't remember having this level of trouble in Generations. Maybe the levels are smaller or designed differently and there's more visual contamination. >did you play Unleashed/Gens recently to make that statement? Nope.
>>19679 >Maybe the levels are smaller or designed differently and there's more visual contamination. I beleive that's it. The levels are a lot more "cramped" and unlike previous games, both Lost World and Forces introduces the homing attack reticle appearing even on the ground instead of after you jumped into the air. It gets far worse with this in the last level of the game too.

God damn, not even a toeifag but this looks amazing.
>>19707 >Yeah. Too bad that halfchan thread about it blasted it for no reason
>>19707 It does look pretty, but the gameplay itself doesn't strike me as very interesting so far.
>>19707 The level design looks subpar, especially with those vine tracks that suddenly have holes in them with no time to react unless you've memorized them. That air dash also looks slow and cumbersome, and I really don't like the idea of having to use it on chains of enemies to reach high places. If you're gonna do that, just put in the homing attack. The only thing this seems to have going for it is the pretty animation, and pretty animation doesn't make a game.
>>19710 This post. The game is nice and while I won't shit on any fan game, I never like doing that. The feels like the definition of Style over Substance. Great idea, good visuals, sub-par gameplay and bad level layout.
>>19710 >and pretty animation doesn't make a game. Heh, I wish people said this when defending a game for its visuals/music.
A website has managed to publish a review on the movie ahead of the embargo lifting. There are no story spoilers in the TSSZ article but haven't had time yet to read the original review. Apparently the reviewer doesn't think the movie is good but I haven't found an actual score in the original article. I'll need to give the review a proper read but if the quote TSSZ made in their article is representative it seems the review itself is rather dumb. http://www.tssznews.com/2020/02/12/first-published-sonic-movie-review-1-5-4-stars/ Original review: http://archive.is/9E5pB
>>19713 The review score is literally under the title though? That review is really odd looking at it. It keeps on trying to look for something the movie clearly was never promising either, without context it feels like odd shots. However i doubt context will change how odd the gripes are. Movies do not need to be complex to be good.
>>19714 I guess that's why all Luc Besson movies are my guilty pleasures… No other snail-sucker can make action more intense than he does.

Played Sunset Heights yesterday, it brought me back to when we first saw this stage in SXSW years ago. It was kinda sad, that point was when I finally accepted that Forces was not going to deliver. Between the speed and how much is going on the screen the webm comes out awful and eats through the whole filesize, lol. Sonic's air control is so weird in this game, Modern controls way too loosely and Classic is too unpredictable because of the opposite basically, he stops too fast so you can't calculate well where he's going to land. Similar experience to what someone else had recently I think. >>19760 On the other hand, these micro cutscenes that last only a handful of seconds and sometimes cut out to a completely different locations or continue in the chat screen are annoying and feel cheap as hell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9blM1xIVGM So this is a thing >>19774 Those are some great renders
>>19778 very impressive for a fan game. It's good to see people putting actual full levels out instead of just engines with one single test environment. And they even did cutscenes with voice acting. It's a lot of effort Still, that camera needs a lot of work. And there are a lot of sections where Sonic's movement just looks awkward like when he's running on walls or making turns while running without boosting. It's still a really great start though. I hope it continues to get polished
>>19779 Yeah. Personally I'd put some of the mess-ups down to the Sonic Infinity Engine being unfinished but I'll give credit to the guy for working around some of the problems. Between this, Sonic Islands & that Sonic Adventure Chronicles fangame, there's some real cool stuff coming down the pipeline for 3D Sonic fangames.
https://pastebin.com/itvTaqPv Okay so for some dumb reason, this site isn't allowing me to make the thread rn. So if an anon luckier than me can do it, here's the updated OP I was planning on using. You can add anything I might be missing
>>19778 I'm always happy to see fangames pop up and it seems like a lot of work went into this one but the intro though impressive feels like it's missing a bit of quality assurance and the level seems to be designed in a way that's makes it impossible to keep your motion which doesn't look very fun. Also the camera doesn't look very good.
>>19778 Gameplay looks decent enough, and the amount of work that went into it is obviously impressive, but a lot of the level design from the second act looks very much like it's going for big without thinking about how it plays. There's a lot of big empty spaces of nothing except a trail of rings you're seemingly expected to light dash to speed through the big nothing. It also lacks a lot of player direction, and I had a hard time seeing where exactly the player was expected to go.
>>19775 >Similar experience to what someone else had recently I think. Present. Yeah like I said, it's baffling how when he moves through the air in 2D it somehow is both better than classic Sonic but also too loose for those small platforms in 2D sections. Plus something else I found out while playing this, if you let go of your analog stick he stops on a dime… But if you direct his movement it carries? It's fucking offputing. Forces biggest issue for me is not the tone, it's the gameplay, how it just feels like it's a hodgepodge of ever type of Sonic gameplay in all of his eras fighting for dominance at the same time.
>>19769 raptor jesus doesn't look anything like the sonics.
>>19778 One of these days a 3D fangame's gonna come out and knock it out of the park, putting Sonic Team to shame. I just know it.
