/sthg/ - Sonic the Hedgehog General Anonymous 07/03/2018 (Tue) 19:19:43 No. 2326

>>2326 I made a new thread here and removed an old one to have a place to go to off from 4chan. If you want to still talk about Sonic, enjoy this thread's presence and please keep things civil. After the years I've been to 4chan's /vg/'s Sonic General, the negative space has gotten really unbearable. And I refuse to join a hugbox group to take about a game character like Sonic. So again, sorry in advance, I am aware there are "generals" for Sonic already elsewheres on this site, but a dedicated restart to /sthg/ feels needed at this point. I hope you all enjoy yourself, and if the 4chan general dies one day, I'll be here to greet the real fans with open arms. Have a good day everyone.

>>2327 Huh, I wasn't expecting you of all people to get fed up with /sthg/. Having said that, though I don't know what's it like there right now the statement about negativity (and the "real fans" bit) feels a bit exaggerated, as there just doesn't seem to be a lot to be positive about the franchise right now. Regardless, I guess you're stuck here with me now.
>>2329 Well maybe I do get a bit expressive about it but I honestly want to have a place to talk about Sonic and content made bby the fans, but it seems really hard for that to happen right now on 4chan. Plus, this place can keep threads up for very long times so it could mean slow threads isn't a worry here compared to 4chan where it could get deleted. But I'll see if I can use this place more offend. I want to keep being the fanbase of Sonic and not give up.
I welcome anyone around these parts, tbh. /fast/ is pretty dead, but I'm always glad to see people here. That being said, I'm not quite familiar with you as >>2329 seems to be.

>>2332 >he wants to have nice things Anyway, I'm here every day, thought I don't check as often as I could because there's no point, but if someone posts I'll eventually see it and reply. >>2333 I think don't think he ended up being who I thought he was. >I welcome anyone around these parts, tbh. /fast/ is pretty dead, but I'm always glad to see people here. All of this.
>>2334 Oh. Who did you think OP was?
>>2335 Anyways, I was going through some old articles/videos talking about Sonic X-Treme's development & I wonder what you guys think about the game. Could it have been a better start for Sonic in 3D than Adventure, could it have saved the SEGA Saturn, or was it gonna be a flop had it been finished?
>>2336 Most likely the latter. Nothing I've heard about the game struck me as particularly good, and let's better not get into that new character they wanted to introduce.
>>2337 I'm not too sure about how the game would've turned out, but yeah, Tiara is one thing that would've definitely been a disaster, especially if they went with the whole "Sonic's match" idea.
Holy fuck they're actually selling the Sonic car. And it's dirt cheap too (for now at least). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sonic-SEGA-BMW-528-Auto-E39-1999/113102593557
>>2339 Holy shit, nice

Night folks
>>2336 I cannot say it could have been a flop imo, but it's likely it was going to get about the same opionion of Sonic 3D Blast personally. I honetsly do think if the fishbowl lens was pushed back a bit more and made the game look less distorted though, it might not have been too bad given how the gameplay itself looked rather solid from the videos I've seen of it, which should have been very earlier development work. It looked more polished than 06 ever was. (btw does this site have spoiler functions here or no?) Still though, I think Sonic Robo Blast is effectively what Sonic Xtreme should have been instead. It's not perfect, but neither is Adventure, and I think Robo Blast 2 is really what I think would have been a much better start into 3D had the idea of Sonic into 3D preceded SM64. (Also thanks for using my thread guys)
>>2342 >btw does this site have spoiler functions here Yes. You spoiler surrounding text with two * on each side. You can also use italics, bold, strikethrough, and other options in your post, but I don't remember those from memory. If you're posting from PC, the quick reply box should have a drop down to select the option you want and apply it to the text you select. Otherwise the faq lists how you do things manually.
>>2327 It's always sad to lose another person who makes quality posts on /sthg/, but I understand why you left. It's gotten pretty bad without news. /sthg/ was (and sometimes still is) one of my favorite places to talk about Sonic, but I understand that it'll most likely never recover from the anniversary threads. Here's hoping we can make something great here on /fast/.
>>2342 I think the game had some potential, although the fisheye lens could've been a bit of a negative for some people. One thing that sucks is seeing all the fan projects over the years that's attempted to complete Sonic Xtreme, only for every single one to wind up either cancelled or remain in limbo. Hopefully one day, someone finishes that game. >>2344 Yeah, /sthg/ still has its good days, but it's probably never gonna be the same again. Hopefully more folks come on over to /fast/ & bring some activity here.
>>2344 It's a sad situation in general. It's sad that people leave and it's sad for the people that leave, and it's sad that the situation has gotten to the point where this happens. >>2345 >fisheye lens could've been a bit of a negative for some people That shit was weird.
>>2346 It's sad, but thankfully I can still use this place & the /sthg/ Discord if I still wanna talk about Sonic. And /sthg/ can still be decent at times. But anyways: >That shit was weird. Yeah, there was a few moments where the fisheye lends was odd, but I think if it was pushed back at least a little, it could've been fine. One thing I'm curious about is the POV Engine version of X-Treme. There's not a whole lot of footage from that version & I kinda want to see more of it.
>>2347 >the /sthg/ Discord Fuck off and don't come back.
>>2348 Oh calm down. Anyways, how many of you guys are interested in TSR?
>>2345 I keep an eye on this place, it's a good bunker at the least, but it really does tend to be dead. At most you'll get a post complaining about /sthg/. It's good that it exists, though. >>2349 As disappointed as I am in the whole Sonic only/Team scoring/Quip machine shticks, Sumo have yet to let me down in gameplay. Transformed is a fantastic game and if this is anywhere close to it I'll be happy.
>>2350 Yeah, Sumo Digital tends to be on point with their Sonic Racers & the news about being able to make custom teams & have single races is pretty enticing. Smaller roster sucks tho, but I guess there's always DLC.
>One thing that sucks is seeing all the fan projects over the years that's attempted to complete Sonic Xtreme, only for every single one to wind up either cancelled or remain in limbo. Hopefully one day, someone finishes that game. Holy shit I didn't know this was a thing. I guess I should have guess when games like 06 can get fan support for a remake. Is there any videos or anything of these projects anywhere?
>>2352 IIRC, all the major attempts at trying to recreate or complete X-Treme have been put up on the internet. The most prominent fan project for X-Treme is Project AXSX that started wayyyy back in 2006. Here's the channel for it: https://www.youtube.com/user/tuxmask75/videos
>>2349 You're part of the cancer that I came here to escape, please stay back with the rest of it.
Another reason I dislike 4chan now is because the Captchas have gotten pure cancer lately, I don't get why. This place has like this one you do per day, which is amazing imo. >>2353 Wow, interesting. Hope they got to do something on their own with all that effort trying to bring back Xtreme. >>2354 Behave.
>>2355 I mostly use 4chanX to deal with it, but yeah, it can be annoying. And I suppose Project AXSX is still alive, as the most recent vid was 5 months ago, but yeah. I gotta applaud someone trying that hard for so long to bring X-Treme back.
>>2356 I mostly use 4chanX to deal with it, but yeah, it can be annoying. But I use it all the time. No matter what I've been getting "5 in a row street signs" and the only way I get around them in using the voice mode, but even then sometimes I get a "try again" promt and I'm fucked. Sorry for the rant, but I wished this didn't go so far out of hand, and I wished I just knew why did it get like this all of a sudden. I hope if it is still going, it does finish in the end. Speaking of, any word on Utopia? I've been wondering what happened to it.
>>2357 It's understandable, mate. And as for Utopia, I remember Lange saying something a while back about hopefully having an update ready by SAGE, or at the very least a little bit after it.
>>2358 Ok, cool. When does SAGE start again? *I've been asking this question for weeks now with no answers*
>>2359 According to SonicRetro, it starts on July 28 & ends on August 4th.
>>2349 What are the chances it will have Denuvo? >>2353 I thought the source code for X-Treme wasn't released until not long ago. >>2355 >This place has like this one you do per day, which is amazing imo. It is but the drawback is that it's easy enough to get past it and spam a board to the point where every legitimate thread gets sent past the last page and all that remains is spam. BO would do well to investigate how other boards dealt with it in case it happens here too. >Behave. Oh, I behave, but we've been through this before and I'd rather not sit quietly while the same cancer that fucked the other place gets a foothold here. You shouldn't either. >>2357 Pretty sure the more captchas you fill in a certain amount of time, the more difficult they get. Try to get a fresh IP. >Speaking of, any word on Utopia? I've been wondering what happened to it. Did something happen to it?
>>2361 > I'd rather not sit quietly while the same cancer that fucked the other place gets a foothold here I guess you're right. Sorry. >>2360 I can't wait for Utopia. I hope it holds up in the end. I just wait a polished working real 3D Sonic game. The Adventure style could have been with more time if Heroes onward didn't drop the ball
Any recommended fan games you like? Also morning everyone.
>>2366 Good morning fag. I don't think I've ever played a Sonic fangame. What's the best one you've played?
>>2366 Morning anon. I don't know about any particular 2D or 3D fangame I'd recommend, but Before & After the Sequel looks kinda fun.
>>2367 >>2368 One of the oldest ones I've played was this flash game called Ultimate Flash Sonic. It was basically Sonic Advance 2 but played like Sonic Advance 1 but in Adobe Flash. It was honestly well made, although it only have 2 levels with 3 acts (the third act was a boss) Others I played were Sonic Advanced and Retro Sonic. There's this one called Sonic Dimensions I think which looks like Sonic Rush but with Sonic Advance sprites, basically a "Sonic Advance 4". I think there's another game like this one called Sonic Vs Darkness, both games looked very well polished and visually impressive. You should look these up for yourselves if you're interested.
>>2369 >Ultimate Flash Sonic A surprisingly legit game, I'd be amazed if there's anyone who hasn't played it at this point.
>>2369 >Ultimate Flash Sonic Oh shit, I remember playing that years ago. I should probably give it another go, if I can still find it.
Jesus, delet the spam already. >>2372 Drop a link if you find it.
>>2372 >>2373 You can just google "ultimate flash sonic" and hit any of the links. It's still fun.

>>2385 Cute gal
>>2385 That looks so sweet! Do you know the artist?
>>2388 They do nice work. So, SEGA's holding a Way Past Cool panel for Sonic at ComicCon & are advertising some surprises. What do you expect?
>>2389 New comic cover reveals, more characters for the racing game, and maybe some movie news since that seems to be finally moving along for better or for worse.
>>2390 Wouldn't surprise me if they actually unveil something about the movie at ComicCon. Maybe not a trailer, tho.
>>2385 Kinda cute. >>2389 Iizuka is there. I expect to be disappointed.
>>2392 Well, sadly disappointment is something to be expected. But I think there may be something said about the whole "Forces DLC" thing that was discovered recently.
>>2393 I'd be kinda mad if they do Forces DLC at this point. It's been 8 months or so, they need to be working on the next game.
The absolute state of /sthg/ right now. This concole war tier crap is emberrassing laughable. I'm honestly glad I'm just lurking right now instead of being invovled there anymore. >>2384 And btw, thanks for the video. I'm not lying when I say Sonic controls so much better here than in Lost World and Forces, which make Sonic feel like a tank 24/7 compared to Gens when you're just walking.
>>2394 Well apparently, a new DLC pack was found in the SteamDB of Sonic Forces. >>2395 Yeah, that place is just filled with the same 5 shitposters spamming everything. Sad state of affairs, but thankfully, we have /fast/.
>>2395 What in the actual fuck is going on with /sthg/? I want to say that that steam achievement leak is responsible for the shitposting but it was still happening a while before then, right?
>>2397 I don't know, things were okay for a bit but this week it's gone right back to being cancer. Just every type of topic that can be talked about is driven into the ground by shitposters & any attempt at decent discussion is culled.
>>2398 >>2397 The shitposters are back in full force and quarantine the place. This happened twice in the past, and I think it the summertime as well. They'll get banned eventually when people finally do their job and report them.
>>2399 Well hopefully, they're banned sooner rather than later. Anyways, what are your top 5 Sonic OSTs?
>>2393 >But I think there may be something said about the whole "Forces DLC" thing that was discovered recently. First time I'm hearing of this. We need news anon back. What was discovered? Any info on it? How bad is it going to suck? >>2394 This is actually a good point. I really hope they don't pull another "we now believe giving projects proper devtime is good so that's why you have to wait all these years for a new game" and then start developing the game one year before release. >>2384 I like one of the tunes but I don't know why people get so fascinated with this game. >>2398 >Just every type of topic that can be talked about is driven into the ground by shitposters & any attempt at decent discussion is culled. Sounds familiar. >>2400 They'll just be back later.
>/fast/ is only alive when shitposting about /sthg/ Pls. >>2400 >top 5 Sonic OSTs Adventure 2 Secret Rings Mania Sonic 3 Unleashed
>>2401 >What was discovered? Any info on it? https://steamdb.info/app/637100/dlc/ Not much else is known about the DLC other than this unknown app that was added 17 days ago. With the upcoming Way Past Cool Panel teasing "surprises," chances are something related to Forces is gonna be shown off.
>>2402 >>/fast/ is only alive when shitposting about /sthg/ Don't think that's strictly true anymore but we do get a bit of a speed boost when shit hits the fan over there.

>>2403 >Sanic T-Shirts DLC
Recently, it was discovered that a Steam API allowed access to data that could be used to infer the number of people that own a game with a good degree of accuracy. Here's an article that explains it along with the resulting data: http://archive.is/bP0PH Some interesting numbers: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection: 1,232,451 Sonic Generations Collection: 647,871 Sonic Adventure 2, 416,375 Sonic Adventure DX, 291,205 Sonic CD: 241:011 Sonic Mania: 168:633 Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode I: 144:813 Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode II: 83:454 Sonic Lost World: 72:200 Sonic Forces: 34:165 Team Sonic Racing: 3:444
>>2400 Endless Possibility Live and Learn Dreams of Absolution (2011) Chemical Plant Act 2 (Mania) Stardust Speedway Act 1 (Mania)
Been busy, but hope you're having a good day folks. >>2407 I kinda wish Endless Possibilities got more love as a vocal theme in the series. It's a really solid song..
>>2408 I wish there was a good recording of Endless Possibility available. I love the song, but even in the OST it sounds awful.
>>2408 I blame the fact it's tide to the game that people remember for the Werehog. Real shame, it has a special place in my heart, for being the song that gave me hope in Sonic again after the shame that was 06.
>>2410 True. I feel like that despite the amount of effort Unleashed clearly has, it's never going to escape how much people hated the Werehog. I can understand the dislike, but personally, I didn't have a whole lot of problems with it. It was far from perfect, but I can still have fun with some of his stages.
>>2411 Neither will I. Emerald hunting is much, much worse and for some reason better accepted.
ded
>>2409 Hot Take: Endless Possibility is the best Sonic vocal theme
>>2424 I don’t think it’s my favorite, but it is really good. One of the few themes to get a near emotional response out of me when beating Unleashed. That game got so many things right, a shame where we ended up now on the Modern side.
(36.88 KB 148x146 1471195725273.png)

>>2473 >That game got so many things right, a shame where we ended up now on the Modern side. The saddest thing for me is that even though Unleashed got a few things wrong, it was very clear it was a game that had thought behind it. They did a few developer blog posts where they explained some of the decisions they took and their reasoning was sound, but it feels like right after the game was done they got hit on the head so hard they were unable to ever think before doing things anymore, and now things are just all over the place.
>>2475 It probably was a pretty big blow to everyone involved when it got mediocre to poor reviews. I'm guessing SEGA has since cut the budget considerably after that point and when Colors came and went in pretty much the opposite direction AND reviewed and sold well. It was probably hard to justify trying something like Unleashed or Adventure again. I am very curious as to what is coming next. I hope to god it's not a game based on the upcoming film.
>>2476 The reviews Unleashed got were completely unfair. I can understand them giving the games a smaller budget (or, rather, a budget more in line with other games, as games before Unleashed and after Adventure 2 didn't really have big production values), but that doesn't excuse the clusterfuck that games have become afterwards. >I am very curious as to what is coming next. I hope to god it's not a game based on the upcoming film. Meh. Sorry to be a bummer, but I just don't really care. I don't really think they're able to come up with something good even if we ignore how likely it is it'll actually be a tie in to the movie.

>>2505 I feel like IDW just doesn't bring their A game to these Sonic panels. They have at least one thing to share, but it doesn't seem like we get that much from them. Q&A's are either question dodgy or negative stuff like the Classic characters situation too.
>>2507 I think the issue lies with IDW and Sega saying they would make "suprise announcements and game news" when in reality the game news was Team Rose which was shown in japan. As if we wouldn't already know of that TSR news in the age of the internet. In IDW's case the #KnowingSmile by Flynn made it seem like he knew it would be something we would be excited about, but just the design of this new character? They probably thought they could garner the same success as when they revealed Tangle's design.
>>2509 Yeah, I'm kinda getting tired of Ian's KnowingSmile stuff. I think I and others tend to always think it hints to something bigger than it usually does.
Any opinions on Sonic Mania Plus? Why is no one talking about it?
>>2510 >>2509 Ian's knowing smile has really depreciated. It used to have some meaning behind it.
>>2514 I kinda wanted to avoid talking about it due to spoilers, but it's pretty fun. Didn't think Ray would be so fun to play as.
>>2514 I haven't bought it yet.
>>2514 I enjoy it alot, for a 5$ dlc I think it's decent, Ray and Mighty are different enough that it gives the game a fresh feeling. Encore mode also feels different and challenging enough to play through. Still haven't gotten all the emeralds in it.

What are your thoughts on Whisper's design?
>>2530 I kind of like it but I'm not completely sold on it. I need to see some expressions and poses to decide. I like the colors and attire, they seem balanced and complex enough without overdoing it. Don't like the eyes and the hair seems too featureless.
>>2523 SEGA’s gone full Denuvo, anon. They’re probably not gonna drop it anytime soon. >>2530 Seems pretty neat, though I agree with the other anon that we need to see her expressions and poses to see how it works out.
>>2500 Since BO wasn't around as often as we needed, I went ahead and claimed the board, so we can now change whatever we need to make us feel more at home here (like the banners, spoiler image, and other stuff within reason).

>>2557 Oh god, I remember watching the whole thing as it happened. Johnny's performance, the freakout over Mania's announcement, the reactions to the reveal of Sonic Project 2017, Hello Kitty, Totino's, BZZZZZZ Ahh, one of my favorite Sonic memories.
>>2564 >spoiler Oh fuck, how did I forget about that? I remember they fucked up the whole stream right at the same moment they unveiled Mania! I need to see if I can find the stream, download it, and make some webms with sound to share here.
>>2564 >>2565 I love that the buzzing thing was referenced in Mania. That was a neat little thing.
>>2557 >It was almost exactly 2 years ago Don't do that to me, man. I loved the stream, it was a glorious trainwreck that still delivered. Mania reveal was hype, the threads were fun and the memes made themselves. The only downside was the Forces reveal - I lost interest as soon as Classic showed up and I guess I was right to. I hope we get another (better produced) event some day.
>>2567 I'm not sure another event could match the hype and surprise of Mania and first Sonic Team game in almost 4 years.
>>2568 Presumably the only thing that could rival it would be a fabled Adventure 3 reveal, but that's not happening.
>>2567 It was a great moment for being a fan, and that felt pretty good. A lot of people lost interest when Classic showed up, but that was not the case for me. I was just so god damn hyped we got a new Modern game after looking like we wouldn't get any. Outside of the Classic controversy, the trailer they showed was great and did the trick nicely, and the way the crowd reacted was surreal and completely sold it to me. >>2569 I don't know if that would do it. It would certainly be awesome for a part of the fanbase but it I don't think it would be met with such acclaim as some people believe it would.

>Mania Plus update makes my game freeze over and over on my PC >searches seem to indicate I'm the only one with the issue Guess I'm fucked. Maybe I can get a refund for the DLC.
>>2580 There are apparently some problems with Denuvo in the DLC which can cause the game to freeze. Maybe that's the source of issue you're having? Some people are posting on Steam about the problems they're facing, so maybe you can find help there or post your case to get input. https://www.sonicstadium.org/2018/07/report-bloated-denuvo-drm-causing-issues-with-sonic-mania-plus-on-pc/
>>2581 I thought it was, but I actually sought out a crack to check and I’m having the same issues. I sent SEGA support a message, if I get nothing worthwhile back, I’ll see if they’ll refund to PayPal and just buy for the PS4 version instead.
I think I'll just go for a refund and buy it for my PS4 version. If it ever fixes itself or support gives me a solution, then I can just rebuy it at some point. It is only $5.
>>2579 Runners was 2015 which technically counts I suppose.
>>2583 It's fucking bullshit that you have to jump through so many hoops just to play a (new) dame. >>2584 I kind of miss Runners, at least before it became the mess that it was by the end. The concept was actually pretty good and fun to play.
>>2585 It sucks, but at least I have an alternative way to play it. I’m guessing it must not like something in my computer, because I actually went through the effort to install the game through wineskin on my old 2011 low tier MacBook and it worked fine, but I’d rather just play it on PS4 at that point.
Assuming we get another Classic Sonic game, do you think Mighty and Ray will be in it too?
>>2587 Maybe as a bonus again but I don't think they would as a main part of a game. That sounds like it would be pushing it a bit too far. Besides Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Mighty and Ray, are there any other characters I'm missing that they can use on the classic part of the franchise? Do you think modern-exclusive characters such as Blaze are going to become more prominent on the modern side now that some characters also appear on the classic side?
(46.01 KB 252x252 just like the old times.jpg)

>>2588 IIRC, Honey counts as a Classic-era character, but I'm not too sure about that. Or how you'd make her work in a Classic-styled game. Nack, Bean & Bark actually being bosses next time could be nice, tbh.
>>2588 I kinda doubt there will be too much change on the Modern side. I do hope all the outcry for Blaze during The lead up to Forces convinces them to do something with her next time.
When are we due to get some more news? I'm bored as hell.
>>2592 Gamescom is next month. I imagine they'll bring some Team Sonic Racing stuff. Movie stuff will start to show up late this year, probably. Next main game will probably be announced next year.
Have a pic of Naka and Iizuka some 25 years ago.
>>2599 Who is who here?
>>2601 Naka should be easy to spot, he's the one on the left. Middle guy is another Sonic Team member from back then whose name now escapes me. Guy in the right is really young Iizuka believe it or not, at least according to the source.
>>2602 Iizuka has glasses?
>>2603 Th-that's an excellent point actually. I went back to check the source (https://mdshock.com/2018/07/19/yuji-naka-sonic-interview-february-1995/) and it does say he's Iizuka. Maybe he got surgery on his eyes? Now I'm damn curious.

>>2565 I was just rewatching the Mania unveiling at the 25th Anniversary Party stream again (webm related, has sound) and I think I remember it happening differently when it was originally live streamed. I remember how they struggled to make the trailer video play and how Aaron just stood there trying to buy time while they made the trailer work, and the audio of that is even still on the video, but the video now shows the trailer normally after Aaron finishes his introduction. Was this always like this or did they edit it afterwards? God dammit I went through a lot of trouble to get the full Twitch stream and I really wanted a webm of that. It's still pretty bad though.
>>2609 I think that is how it happened, but they cut it out. There was a lot of dead air during that stream, though.

>>2618 Advance is a pretty fun game, but screencrunch (like all the Advance games) hurts it.
>>2619 Yeah, it gets a lot of praise if I remember correctly. Is using Visual Boy Advance to emulate it okay?
>>2620 VBA tends to work well, yeah.
>>2618 >That's so odd, and it sounds really difficult to figure out that's what was causing it. I stumbled upon it while changing video cards. I had to unplug my headphones moving the computer and when I did, when I launched Mania, the game refused to run at all. I guessed at that point that it was some fucked up audio issue and switched to a different audio jack and it worked. Really weird.

I just wish there was an HQ version, every one I cound find sounds like it was recorded from an AM radio or some shit The edgy songs in this series are great. >>2630 Lucky anon. Yeah, the problem was mostly related to the stream. Apparently some equipment blew up and they had to use backups and they weren't up to scratch. First time I hear the Crush40 performance was that loud. You did miss the /sthg/ threads though. They were fast and nice.
I hope Team Sonic Racing won’t be the last game we hear some new Crush 40 in.
>>2635 Crush 40 makes money, so you'll probably hear 'em again.
>>2639 Then again when was the las time we did? >>2635 I guess it depends on the type of game they want to make. Can you imagine Lost World with Crush 40 music? Lol. I can see them pulling a stunt similar to what they do with Chao and SA3 to leave the door open to the possibility of doing something with them but not do anything in the end.

How often do you play Sonic games?
>>2820 Once in awhile, when I'm in the mood for it. Maybe once every two weeks or so?
>>2820 Not super often these days, but I try to play them every now and again.
Question, if we talk about all things Sonic in here, how are any of the other threads gonna be bumped off? Seems like all of the activity is just in this one thread.
>>2823 That's always kinda been the issue with Sonic having it's own board. There's a lot of Sonic content, but it never really needed to be split up into many threads. I think right now, it makes sense to have a general like this, since there's not a lot of people here, so it makes sense to keep activity in 1-3 threads. Of course that doesn't prevent anyone from making new threads for specific things.
>>2824 Yeah, we could make threads for bigger Sonic news (like say, a new game announcement) or a certain topic, while keeping this thread for general Sonic news.

Thanks for using my thread everyone. I'm shocked by how much this place was used in a last 2 two weeks I've been here. Is there a bump limit here?

But again, thanks for keeping the peace and hope you enjoy the thread as I hoped for.
>>2832 I'm not sure about the bump limit, I think we've reached it but I don't think we need a new thread. It's not like this thread is going to be bumped off anyhow.
>>2834 I think we did hit the bump limit, but we can keep this thread around. When it starts to move further down the board, we can make a new thread.
We've reached the bump limit, but not the image limit (I'm not sure how much that is here), but we should wait until we hit that.
>>2820 I have to admit I'm not too much into Sonic these days. With the whole debacle around Forces and the botched Mania PC release I kind of lost a lot of interest, and ever since I left /sthg/ I don't keep that up to date on what goes on with the franchise or the community anymore. So not very often.

Plus, having everything bunched together in one thread makes the board seem faster and encourages posting.
>>2839 I definitely don't blame anyone for wanting to step back from the franchise for now. It's a bit lost right now gameswise and the movie is probably hard to believe in. Another Mania probably won't be coming for at least a couple years and Sonic Team's next step is unknown.
>>2832 >Is there a bump limit here? Bump limit is 300 posts. See >>2793. >>2835 I would rather it didn't get too far down. Otherwise it'll not get bumped anymore and people will miss it if they are not regulars and know it's still active.

>>2844 Same. >>2838 Now feels like a solid period to take a break from Sonic, but it's always good to keep an eye on whatever goes on. And personally, I'm still enjoying Mania/Mania Plus, as well as IDW & It's always fun to go back to enjoy some of the better games from the past.
>>2827 >>2844 I'm hopeful the momentum can keep going for this place. I've been hoping for a chiller place to post about the blue dude.
>>2847 Hell yeah. Speaking of which, what's the comfiest Sonic pic you have saved?
>>2848 I have too many pics saved to go through, but this is nice.
>>2850 Gosh, I love that one. He looks so comfy.
>>2850 Oh, that's really nice.
>>2838 Maybe, but I still kind of miss being into it. It was fun keeping up with the franchise and seeing what the community was up to, and it was fun hanging out with people that also were into it and seeing what they created and came up with. >>2839 >and the movie is going to be a total disaster It might be even worse than that. What are the chances of the movie affecting the games somehow? You know, in a long lasting way. I'm already taking it for granted that we're going to get a crappy game to go with it.
>>2854 I think whether or not the movie has any effect on the game besides the probably tie-in game all depends on if the movie is a success. If it's a flop, SEGA probably won't touch it.
>>2854 Yeah, but sometimes a break is needed even if you miss it. It allows you to reset and come back happier. >What are the chances of the movie affecting the games somehow? I really don't know what the games are really gonna do moving forward regardless of the movie. I assume more Classic Sonic is on the horizon, but Modern is a curious case that no one has an answer to. I would think the movie would have no real impact on the Japanese side, but who knows.
>>2855 Yeah, how well it does is probably going to affect things, but the problem is that movies rake cash in like nothing else, even crappiest ones, and in this case Sonic has a name to continue ruining, so… But I'm really curious if they're going to try to handle it like they did with Boom. Remember all the plans that Sega made that eventually got leaked? Stuff like that. >>2856 Isn't the movie being coordinated by the Japanese side?
>>2857 Supposedly, Iizuka is overseeing the game. But how much he's changing/will change about the film remains to really be seen.
>>2857 I know Iizuka's a supervisor for the film, but I doubt he would have a ton of power over it.

>>2858 >>2859 But then doesn't it mean the movie is most likely to affect things on the Japanese side?
>>2861 Probably not creatively. I think the worst case is slashing more budgets if it failed to draw, but I have a feeling that's been happening for the past 10 years already.

Venting Does /sthg/ want to really off itself? Why are people seeming even more and more Melodramatic/depressed all the time? Is it just me? Is it just shitposting? Idk. But it's making me worried. The last thing I really want is /sthg/ to just "die because one or more people just don't like the place anymore, why not just move on? Why make things worse for others? Many people like using /sthg/, don't just let it die just because you feel stressed out or heath broken or whatever. /blog. I'm sorry but I have to vent somewhere. I'm not asking for too much, right? I just want people to just enjoy themselves and stop taking things so personally and lashing out on others instead of reasoning with them and their opinions.
>>2902 It's always been that way since 2015 or so. Some of it is just shitposting, some of it is venting. I imagine some don't leave because there's no where else to really go and so they hold on to hope that it will get better again someway somehow. I sometimes fall in the that camp, though I've mostly come to terms that the /sthg/ I love is mostly gone as more and more new people have come to it in the last two years and the culture has changed.
>>2903 >the /sthg/ I love is mostly gone as more and more new people have come to it in the last two years and the culture has changed Not him but god dammit this still hurts a lot.
>>2903 >>2904 Can you describe this "culture" that's gone now? Maybe if I understood that, I'd understand the very negative charisma I tend to sense from that place at times, namely at the ends and beginnings of threads.
>>2905 It's kinda hard to describe, but we used to be a smaller tight knit community born from "The Ride" focused more on the comics (that's all that was really going on at the time besides Boom), but enjoyed most of the franchise at large. We had our dumb mascot OCs we loved to use, we sometimes had cool group efforts that a most seemed on board with, and we had people who worked on the comics and from Sonic's social media team come by and talk to us or draw some stuff for us. It felt like we built a legit mostly positive Sonic community. We definitely had a good amount of drama back then too (artist dramas, cytube community outbursts, feuding with /co/, problems with janitors and reporting), but even when that happened, it eventually passed and it went back to more chill posting. With Forces and Mania being announced and released along with the prior comic series being cancelled, the tide of the general has changed with a lot of new people coming in. Threads are blazing fast now and while there's good folk there, there is a lot of baiting, shitposting, and just anger now (which might have to do with the current state of the franchise). It does not feel like a positive place a lot of the time. There's this snide air among posts to me. It feels like there's a good amount there to just provoke a fight rather than talk about what they really enjoy about Sonic. And let me say, the one really dedicated shitposter that came this year with the obvious posting style (and any copycats) is one of the worst I've ever seen. The petty dramas, outbursts, and prior shitposters /sthg/ has had in the past have nothing on him.
I think the root of the issue lies on rhe loss of anon culture. The userbase back then was completely made out of people familiar with imageboards, so you had people that contributed selflessly to the board (even if their stuff wasn't great), and fags were called out and reported (namefags, people who obviosly baited, etc). Then the culture began to change and that began to get lost. Artists (and some other people that made content) started getting called by names and started having people getting attached to them and forming sort of fan groups who praised everything they did, and some made so many posts with their stuff that combined with the people who praised them made the board look like their personal space. People also started encouraging shitposters instead of reporting them (like that actually autistic guy that I'm not going to mention) and in general not disencouraging/calling out people when they were being stupid (or really new to imageboards) to keep them in check and force them to learn how things worked in the general and adapt to the community instead of changing it into something much closer to what you'd find in other communities full of fags. Instead, people began questioning different aspects of the original culture and pissing on them. The inability to have competent and involved moderation meant that shitposters together with the new people overran the usual userbase and got to stay on the general unhindered, diluting the original userbase that made the place seem comfy, original, welcoming, and different from the rest of the usual fan community hubs. Mind you, /sthg/ always had shitposters and other undesirable people (some of them organized), but things used to eventually get back on rails. >>2905 Having said everything I just wrote, you sound like a huge newfag and you should lurk more. Now post Bump.

How do you feel about Mighty and Ray?
>>2902 **You're not asking for too much, imo. Really, this sort of thing tends to go down with every community, where its culture & the way it functions changes with new people who aren't really acquainted with the way things are normally done, along with people who just want to stir shit & cause trouble. Sadly, even though the general has had a lot of great newfolk in recent years, it's mostly fallen prey to the latter who just wants to shit the general up for the sake of shitting it up. It was only a matter of time before it changed whether that change was gonna be for the better or for the worst, but there's not much one can really do now, but try to make the best of it.** >>2909 I like 'em, even if they haven't been seen many appearances in Sonic media, Archie aside. I kinda wonder if SEGA will ever bother touching these guys again, given that they were "unsealed" for the purpose of Mania Plus. If we were to get a Mania 2 (pls god), will they be brought back?
