Night /sthg/

>>7919 Goodnight anon.

have you ever named a pet or something important after something Sonic related? I used to have a hamster named Chocola. She wasn't even brown or male. I was just a dumb 12 year old and Sonic Heroes had just come out

>>7853 Ours looks the same except it has yellow rims

>>7921 If I ever get a pet, I probably would name it something Sonic related.

Which artists would the sonic characters listen to

>>7925 Sonic’s gotta like Michael Jackson, right?

Only 206 days until Team Sonic Racing is out

>>7927 Will the delay add anything substantial?

>>7925 Sonic - Michael Jackson Knuckles - Hunnid P Amy - Pink :^)

>>7929 It better. Is there really just 3 levels in the game right now? That's all I've heard revealed so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PUE3fSFiwk >SEGA does DLC before Nintendo >Scraps it because not enough blast processing >After getting it right with Unleashed-Generations (and arguably Lost World), Forces gives you… memes… What went wrong?

>>7931 Rooftop Run, Planet Wisp, and Snow Level have been officially revealed. A magazine scan showed a 'cutscene' (text on a static screen) with Sonic talking at a beach, so there might be a beach level. Green Hill and Chemical Plant are almost certainly going to be in the game because of course they are so make that six levels we know of so far. They also said at some point there's going to be 21 different tracks spread across 7 different locations.

>>7933 thank Aaron "our games are garbage but we have epic maymays!" Webber

>>7935 Aaron has zero impact on anything game development-wise.

>>7936 I'm sure he had a say in the DLC given the devs were Japanese and don't care about memes in the US and it included a Game Grumps reference in the DLC description

>>7937 You fail to realize Europe has more control over the west's content than America does. Remember the DRM on Mania?

>>7938 Yes? But what does that have to do with Aaron? Europe can make decisions and so can Aaron independently of each other. Both of their actions can affect the games. SoE can affect the actual development and sales. Aaron apparently affects the DLC and marketing. He obviously had something to do with the Sanic DLC. He's the loudest person at Sega when it comes to memes and the only one talking about Game Grumps there. He was also given a copy of Forces working script to make comments on. Sega obviously cares about his opinions and he obviously has some kind of power when it comes to the content in the games. Probably not a lot of power but it's definitely something given Sanic and the GG reference and their inclusion of them in Mania's credits.

>>7939 I wish there was actual proof instead of assuming, like how it's Iizuka's fault for every game past Unleashed despite he not directing any of them and only recently been co directing Sonic Mania. I don't listen to baseless assumptions, I look at facts, like Kishimoto working on Sonic games from Secret Rings to Forces outside of Unleashed and Generations, and wondering why the fuck is he in charge of the """3D""" games for 10 years. Since to me, that's more damaging than outside content no one has any right wasting time with since it's free. Unlike, Super Sonic for example.

>>7940 >wondering why the fuck is he in charge of the """3D""" games for 10 years. he was given a leadership position for Secret Rings because he was a senior employee at Sammy before the merger. It was received well and sold well so he stayed on for Black Knight. Then for god knows why was given the role of director for Colors. Probably nepotism. Colors was received ridiculously well by critics and sold well so they kept him for Lost World. Sega probably thought that was a fluke so they kept him again for Forces. Hopefully they axe him this time

>>7941 Oh yeah, I forget about the whole "Sammy" part of SEGA. My bad, I actually know why this shithead is in full control over the series right now instead of the team behind Unleashed and Generations. Silly me.

>>7943 Think about how much art there is of these two fairly insignificant fan characters. It's fascinating.

So Sonic World is actually alive again. The team will continue without Ozcrash & R9 is being skipped in favor of releasing R10 as Sonic World DX. Sonic Omniverse will continue, but as a separate project from World. >>7944 Amazing, innit?

>>7944 It's pretty fascinating, as is that we got so many official artists to draw them, and all the different guests we got in the general over the years.

Night /sthg/

>decided to go out with a friend for the first time in a million years >they try to have sex with me Just my luck

>>7950 >try >didn't succeed why are you such a prude

>>7951 I already got 1 don't need 2

>>7949 Lucky rat

what was the most recent Sonic related thing you bought?

>>7954 Sonic Mania

>>>/sudo/87686 Guess who won?

>>7957 >/fast/ killing the last two with a machine gun Hell yeah, man

>>7958 Sounds like Shadow would've been a perfect fit for that one.

How would you feel if they dropped the use of the Chaos Emeralds, if it meant Sonic was now powerful enough on his own to transform into it by himself, like the inspiration it's based on? In other words, do you think Super Forms should be native to the character (Like how Iizuka implies only male hedgehogs can go super) and CE are just used for raw power to fuel them, or should the emeralds be the indicator it grants this power? With how in Forces Sonic states he gets more powerful by the sec and how in Generations Boosting Sonic can kill off Perfect Chaos when it originally took Super Sonic to do so, Boost era Sonic might as well be Super Sonic imo. And Forces kinda makes it apparent when he doesn't even change much speed wise in Forces doing so either.

>>7954 Sonic 06. Still haven't started it yet. >>7960 I just want some consistency when it comes to them. Them not even being brought up at all in Forces is pretty laughable.

>>7961 You know you say this, but Forces isn't the first game to do this you know. It was Sonic Colors first, then Lost World… in fact it's ANY Kishimoto game he directed that hasn't use the Chaos Emeralds at all. Even as far back as Secret Rings. It's almost as if he either never understood them narratively, or he hates them because it's not his own invention, like those 7 Rings things he did in Secret Rings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZj_MZVXNg4 Oh hey, Aaron did the thing

>>7962 And before you say it, I'm not talking about how they were using in gameplay, I mean he never used them narratively at all, just like in Forces. The fact Forces almost killed Super Sonic off and when questioned, they wanted you to PAY for it, really makes me think about Kishimoto's thoughts about the series

>>7957 Hell yeah! Someone needs to draw that! Thanks for signing us up anon.

>>7964 What's funny is I can kinda write it off not using them in his directed games prior to Forces. The storybook games, Colors, and Lost World all take place in foreign locations where they might not have been easily accessible. But there's no excuse for Forces, especially with the stakes of the story and the location of it being on Sonic's planet unless they really wanted to go the route of them being an Earth-only thing. I just want some goddamn lore consistency and it makes me mad that Sonic Team doesn't.

>>7965 Hey, no problem!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSZ5H79kMXI If 3D animation like this can exist, wouldn't it be easily to do this for Sonic games? It's in Japanese, so it isn't expensive, and 2D Sonic artstyles are universally considered better looking than the 3D models most of the time. So why not merge it in the middle?

>>7969 Such is life on the slow board.

>>7969 Well, I did mention a while back that I may do some storytimes of old comic issues here. Probably not tonight, though.

sonic is pretty great sometimes

>>7973 But only sometimes.

>>7974 sadly

>>7973 True. Matter of fact, what was your happiest recent Sonic-related memory, /sthg/?

I wish this fanbase did more than just half baked or in a blue moon polished and completed fan games. Where's all the half baked or in a blue moon animations? Music and comics seems to be the only low hanging fruit people bother with. Even sprite fights are gone. Why is the 2010s so lazy as shit when the 90s and 2000s did so much?

>>7975 What game related thing is always "great"? And please don't say Mario, NSMB is shit compared to World and Yoshi's Island. And Sunshine is shit too, but yeah, anything other than Mario.

>>7976 Mania Mania Mania… Last non fan base related thing was Unleashed and Generations. Nothing from Kishimoto I Iiked, and I wished I never bothered with Colors in hindsight.

>>7976 someone on halfchan was talking about leitmotifs in SA2 awhile back, specifically how the main riff from Live and Learn was in Prison Lane's music as well as Supporting Me. I never noticed until then. I'm kind of slow but since then I've been listening to music more carefully and listening for things like that

>>7976 I recently bought a giant Sonic plushie that I've been wanting for many years. It makes me tremendously happy.

>>7977 Probably because a lot of people left. The Kishimoto era games have been weak in every area. People who were into things like animations and sprite fights probably enjoyed the worldbuilidng, stories, cutscenes, etc. non-gameplay aspects of the games and those have been garbage for so long. It's not that people are lazy. It's just that they're starved for content and inspiration.

>>7982 how big is it?

>>7982 That's pretty nice. Pics of it?

>>7980 > I wished I never bothered with Colors in hindsight. Why not?

>>7983 But why can't they just fuel off of the 90s/2000s era content like the game developers and comic makers are doing? Why are games and comics the only thing people still care about?

>>7986 A: Supporting that game which lead to Lost World and Forces B:Being inferior to Unleashed and Generations in nearly every way C: It's a lot worse trying to play through it again when it's 90% 2D and you have better 2D games like Mania and the Advance games. I can't even replay it anymore because of all of the above, and knowing supporting that game over Unleashed by the masses just makes me want to quit being a Sonic fan deep down. The one time Sonic Team tried to apologize, and I feel like elitists that only liked the classic era games and Adventure 3 fags fucked up any chance for Sonic to recover anymore.

>>7987 Because some people get bored, plain and simple. Some people can't keep their interest in Sonic with only Sonic 1 and 2 romhacks or Sonic Adventure 1/2 art. Not to mention there's a lot of hate towards the 2000s era concepts, games, etc. Why waste a ton of effort on something relating to SA/SA2/Shadow/06/Unleashed if people are just going to call you an Adventure fanboy blinded by nostalgia and your work edgy shit?

https://youtu.be/hR7VykQ-bd8

>>7984 As big as a 1 person mattress. >>7985 I need to look into taking some pics of him to share.

>>7988 I will be fair. At the time there was a LOT of hatred towards things like gimmicky gameplay, with Secret Rings, Heroes team gameplay, Shadow gunplay & when Unleashed came out, it pretty much fell to people being sick of that sort of thing in nearly every Sonic game with the Werehog being such a big part of the title. Not to say the Werehog/Unleashed was perfect by any means, but it was honestly not that bad. But yeah, I think the game got way too much hatred at its release & did a lot of things right.

>>7991 sounds huge. post pictures eventually

>>7982 Will you hug it?

>>7978 Nothing is great all the time but some things are usually great or at least great more often than not. Zelda would be an example. Many of the games are good but there are still some bad/mediocre ones.

>>7991 Wew, that's a big Sonic >>7990 The entire situation was a giant clusterfuck, but at least Sonic World DX is gonna be a thing.

>>7989 I guess that's fair, but at the same time, if you like it I'd support it. Who cares if people call me a classic fag just because I like classic era games, I'd make fan games off of that era I had fun times with, and this is not even just for Sonic, I do it for other frachises too. And overall, I'm not just a classic era fan either, so I find it weird imo. Especially because games are usually the hardest thing to commit to, with animations being second best depending on how much animation you plan on doing in one project.

>>7983 Half-true Yes you are right that they aren't being inspired However secondly, it is like that across nearly ALL fandoms, except very new ones like Overwatch, Fornite, ect. I have been apart of fandoms of franchises 20+ years old and there's a huge dry spot of content throughout all of them. Honestly the only consistent content being pumped out now is fucking porn. People are lazy and less creative in the 2010's and I wish I knew why but they just are.

>>7990 Soooo… Sonic 2HD all over again. I think this is where the problems around Sonic content come from. Literally too many "Hitlers" that shouldn't be a part of things making it worse for everyone. I hope things get better from here though. And the shitter gets what he deserves.

>>7998 Is it just a case of entitlement? A lot of things that didn't get in out hands in the past are now more accessible in 2010s, so people just feel like "someone else will do it" and thus nothing happens anymore.

>>8000 It highly likely is, because of all the content that was created in the 2000s, kids who grew up during that time probably expected at least one of them would do that now, and a very rare pool of people do, unless it's lewd/patreon stuff. Sad shit

Sonic is too much of a goody two shoes to be cool.

>>8002 Lovely stuff

>>8003 Evil is shitty though. Not one evil person is cool bro.

>>8005 Eggman's pretty cool

>>8006 >Eggman >Evil >Or Cool

>>8002 Cute Amy

>>8003 being a goody two shoes and cool are not mutually exclusive properties

goody two shoes are corny. Fleetway sonic and japanese early sonic are based

>>8007 Hey Eggman's pretty evil & he's a mighty cool doctor

Have you ever dressed as something Sonic related for Halloween?

>>8014 Nah, but I have left Pumpkin Hill playing in my house all day before. I plan on doing it again this year, tbh.

>>8023 2nd best ghost girl

What are some unpopular Sonic opinions you have? >>8025 Who's number 1?

>>8026 3D Sonic is doable, just SEGA stop trying to improve it after SA2. And isn't it obvious, silly?

>>8027 >spoiler

>>8026 colors sucks and isn't much better than forces mania is objectively better than sonic 2 but way less fun to play the franchise has become a budget series and it's unlikely that will ever change and doing nothing but mania sequels will make sure of that mania isn't amazing, just pretty good colors' soundtrack is mediocre mania's soundtrack is overrated but still pretty good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnjB2ufxk5I You know, seeing shit like this just makes me wonder why the fuck did they use that gimmicky ass tubular level design and forced 2D sections when level design like this almost works perfectly for it?

>>8031 because designing 3D levels is too hard for Sonic Team and 2D sections are 'nostalgic'

>>8032 You mean Kishimoto Team, since Unleashed had quite a lot of 3D in it, with Generations being lesser so thanks to Classic Sonic.

>>8033 Even the Modern Sonic levels in Generations had tons of 2D. Planet Wisp, Chemical Plant, and City Escape come to mind

>>8034 Uuuh, I don't remember CE having that much, it was honestly the most 3D next to Seaside Hill… CP you have a point, but PW don't count because it's based on Colors, which was a 90% 2D based game anyways.

>>8015 Your neighbors must love you.

>>8036 They don't let it get to them…

slow

>>8036 Damn right they do

>>7957 Where is the announcement Ron? Where is it!

>>8041 As sick of a burn that is, that's not the usual number unless you would be shitposting.

>>8031 I wonder if 10 years from now people will be >ugh why did they use that gimmicky ass xxx design instead of the awesome tubular level design they used in Lost World

>>8043 >People will prefer the level design of LW in the future

>>8042 Even Sonic can't deny that Amy has some cuteness to her.

>>8046 Well, there's that. Point taken.

>>8041 >things will get so bad in the future that LW design will be considered good

>>8045 >>8043 >>8048 No. This will never happen. It can't possibly happen.

>>8049 It's Sonic. Never thought they'd do live action scenes for a movie in theaters, but here we are. Honestly, it's more likely that it would happen compared to Sega making new competitive console hardware. ;_;

>>8050 You say something like that when Mario, Avatar the Last Airbender and fucking Dragon Ball Z got one of those beforehand? If any movie in the states was going to be made for Sonic, live action was OBVIOUSLY going to be what it was going to be. USA is cheap as shit when it comes to quality control, when it comes to non gaming medias that is. And I don't understand the correlation of SEGA going back to the gaming market when it's borderline monopolized by Disne- I mean Nintendo at this point. That's actually the smartest thing that SEGA has done at this point, because in any other timeline, they'd still fuck it up and only saving grace would have been they got bought out by Sony (ironic considering the backstory behind the Playstation with SEGA like with Nintendo) or worse case scerio, bought by Nintendo (again ironic but in a far worse state than now) and Sonic would have died out immediately because Nintendo wouldn't want to make Sonic great when they have Mario. In the grand scheme of it, Sonic "died" because he was too late in the console market. Give him a ten year jump start and SEGA would rule the gaming market, not Nintendo.

>>8051 And by gaming market I mean consoles of course.

Goodnight /sthg/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kBVNG9Uy9M So A: Why did no one brought this up yet? And B: It hurts seeing Sonic actually animate really well when you consider the live action movie coming soon… Ugh…

>>8056 We've seen some great Sonic animations over the years. It wouldn't be the first time it's hurt that we've never had any serious project to capitalize on that.

>>8057 Well I guess, but I meant just the news about Sonic's appearance in the new WiR overall. The animation quality is as good as Night of the Werehog, which is why I felt hurt because every time I see that tier of animation on Sonic I question why can't they just get in game models to do the same? Many games do this in game now, so why is Sonic lacking that? I personally feel it has to do with Nintendo's hardware or something.

>>8058 >why can't they just get in game models to do the same? because they don't care. They stopped putting effort in a long time ago. I don't want to sound like a storyfag but really as soon as stories stopped mattering, so did the cutscenes and thus the need for fluid animations. All we've been getting from Colors through Forces are shitty 10 second cutscenes and the occasional longer one. They don't feel a need to make these look great, even in Forces where they hyped the story up for months. They really just don't care anymore

>>8059 And by they you mean Kishimoto Team, right? Because Unleashed looked good and webm related is made by the same team, currently doing Mario's Olympic games.

>/fast/ doesn't have the fastest thread on the site Guys, I'm disappointed.

>>8062 Too busy

>>8062 >/pol/ and /pol/2.0/ is the fastest boards even on 8ch Yikes…

>>8051 >>8057 >>8058 It was precisely because of those movies and Sega trying to meme their way out of their bad rep that made me think that they would at least be smart enough to either go fully animated or not at all.

>>8066 They already did that, and no one cared about it.

>>8067 Technically that was an OVA released as a direct-to-video flick in the U.S.

>>8056 Wonder if this will be Sonic’s only scene in that movie or if we’ll see more of him.

>>8062 We wanted to let Sonic down, just like how he lets us down constantly.

>>8070 it's a movie about the Internet. I can't see not getting more scenes. He's a meme and that's probably all a lot of kids and normies know him for at this point

>>8074 theres nothing wrong with being a meme in this day and age. donald trump was a meme. xxxtentacion was a meme. kanye west was a meme. shrek was a meme.

>>8075 being a meme is an issue if you want to be taken seriously and want people to enjoy your content/support you genuinely/unironically

>>8076 It's only an issue when being a meme is the only thing going for you. If SEGA actually put out quality Sonic content, then people will enjoy it genuinely.

>>8076 Not him, but while I don't mind the series having some memes here & there, I do think it's kinda counter-productive to play into memes as much as the franchise has lately. Yeah, the Sonic Twitter has 5 million followers, but that only means so much when at best 1/5th of your followers are actually buying the games.

guys I bought this nice Sonic figure from ebay and it arrived broken. Do you think I should return it or just try to fix it myself? It came from Japan and will probably cost a lot to ship back. The break looks clean so I guess hot glue or something would work

>>8079 I'd probably look up return policies and cost and time. It might be a bitch to ship it that far, but it still might be worth looking into before you try and fix it.

>>8079 Oh no, it's a shame to see such a nice figure broken. You should at least contact the seller. If you would rather just fix it you could maybe get a partial refund. For fixing it I would not recommend hot glue, that would look awful. Superglue would work better I think. How much did it cost and how big is it? It really does look nice.

>>8076 You're really talking mad shit when Dragon Ball fanbase exist. The amont of meme content made by the fanbase that Toriyama himself later makes canon makes your point moot. It's only a problem becuase you're too old to like memes, it's nothing to be a shamed of. But the only reason is counter preductive is that Sonic's games are Mario tier consenstant of good, but that's reallly the fans own fault because all tey "want" is muh SA3/muhtrueSonic4/etc and downplay good quality games like Generations and to some degree of Unleashed and Mania, and over hype average to mediocre games like Lost World and Forces as 06 tier, which is fucking retarded. In the 10 years of Sonic, 3 of his game had top tier quality hidden in there, some more obvious than others, 1 was decent, and 2 were medicore. Yet for some reason 2 is enough to kill the series again when the 2 predating Unleashed were far worse quality control wise, even if they were more "interesting" games for their time.

>>8082 Hmm I'm half asleep here, but I meant memes is only bad for Sonic is because his games aren't Mario tier consistence, not is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eXgj0Le810 So we finally got a new track for TSR plus music for it, and what do you know, it's based on SA2's Pyramid Cave.

>>8084 Oh and as I listen to it, the music is actually based on Sandopolis.

Holy shit I just realize TEE LOPES and JUN SENOUE made this track. They got BOTH of the them to compose together… My dream is being realized!

>>8084 Sounds fucking lovely. >Tee Lopes & Jun Senoue on the same track Fucking beautiful

>>8081 it was only $16 + $8 shipping so it's not too bad. I might try super glue. It's also around 7 inches tall. The quality isn't amazing but it does look nice and it's definitely better than a lot of the non-F4F figures that they've been selling in the US lately

>>8084 Fuckin' Nice

>>8061 Why the fuck does SEGA have the Unleashed team working on the Olympic games? It's one (dumb as shit) thing to have them not making the main 3D Sonic games, but to assign such a talented dev team to complete shovelware has got to be one of the dumbest ways you could possible allocate your company's resources.

>>8092 Not sure if that's actually the case or if most of the team has left or not. Someone would have to do a credits comparison.

>>8092 because sega knows Kishimoto is a fuckup and won't risk him touching something with Nintendo's IP in it.

>>8092 Dumb? Yes. But sadly, to them, it's not dumbing getting a 10+ sales rate compared to any and all Sonic game titles. For one thing, Mario, simply put. But another reason is unlike Unleashed which got bashed to 06 hell, it's Kishimoto's game that everyone seem to claim was "Sonic's return to form" and gave the impression that Sonic Colors truly the right jumpstart back into 3D Sonic. Keyword, 3D Sonic. Critics is why SEGA doesn't know what to do with the right people. Because people call them out for things just because it isn't what they "truly want".

>>8093 It doesn't list the Olympics Team, but truth be told, someone talented is making the Olympic games (Nintendo doesn't make those games, SEGA does) and it sure isn't the team working on games like Lost World and Forces.

>>8095 10+ million sales

Evan Stanley draws cute Shadows.

>>8099 Shadow is a rat!

>>8100 Rude

>>8099 >Fangs Based Stanley

>>8099 >>8104 They're cute, but something doesn't look quite right about them for some reason.

>>8099 Foreshadowing

How do most feel about Shadow these days?

>>8107 Most still hate him for the eras between 2001 and 2006, but since he hasn't been relevent much in anything mainline since Forces (which it still opens up a can a worms in hindsight), most just don't care about him while fangirls suck his dick all the damn time and ship him with either everyone, from bats, to rabbits, to Sonic or Amy.

>>8107 Most don't care. Some people hate him, but even more love him. He's an extremely popular character.

>>8084 I love Richard Jacques, but I was pretty disappointed by Racing Transformed's soundtrack. Glad to hear this one seems to be better.

>>8111 Kinda odd since I saw a lot like the Transformed soundtrack.

>>8084 I prefer the original.

>>8115 Are you ready?

>>8099 Evan draws everyone so fucking cute.

>>8113 I just felt that a lot of the remixes were weaker than the songs they were remixing.

>>8105 I think I know what you mean. There's something with his body, as if he were too thin or lacked shape or something.

>>8115 But how many will realistically actually stop by?

>>8116 It's fine, I don't even compare it to the original, it's too different for me to compare them.

>>8084 >Tee Lopes >It's just a remix of Sandopolis zone I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

>>8123 Why are you disappointed? Because it's classic themed? I don't know if Pyramid Cave would have been better since it wasn't one of my favorite themes from that game.

>>8124 It was implied that the track was Pyramid Cave, but it's actually Sandopolis Zone with hints of Pyramid Cave. Knowing that, it's not quite as disappointing anymore; I still would've preferred a Pyramid Cave track.

>>7921 My gecko is named Storm.

>>8127 cute

>>8125 Well the trick is all the tracks in the game so far feature duel themes, Cool Edge has Endless possibilities mixed into the background of the main medley. Granted some more evidential PC mixes would've been nice, but than again, this isn't the full theme anyways so who knows.

>>8126 better view

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Li9kF6aoJI Unreal Sonic

>>8133 Sweet. Also, LET THE SPECULATION BEGIN

>>8134 Recap? I know there was one hint in a picture with some numbers but I haven't seen anything else.

>>8135 In the 10 hour Pumpkin Hill mix Aaron uploaded, there was a message in the vid that went along the lines of "In December the snow falls into a little gift."

It was Jun'ichi's birthday a couple of days ago! You did wish him a happy birthday didn't you /sthg/?

>>8137 he seems really nice

>>8134 probably the cartoon. I really hope it's something more substantial than Mania Adventures

>>8139 also hope it's something a bit more encompassing too rather than being about one single game. it'd be nice if it were Modern Sonic as well since we just got mania adventures and boom sort of recently

>>8134 did he ever explain what all the 2016 clues meant? I remember there were a few given at the SXSW panel that year like something about a bridal in June and none of it wound up relating to Mania or Forces

>>8126 did you make this

>>8142 Oh no, it was made a long time ago.

>>8139 It will be the TSR comic.

>>8141 He kind of did at the beginning of the Anniversary Party. Apparently it was all pointing to Mania if I remember correctly.

I want the next 3D sonic game to look as nice as the new spyro games

>>8145 He also did one for regarding some band called Madeon, but that was just him promoting them, IIRC.

>>8146 Likely only happening if Generations Team get the budget of Unleashed again, or some new miracle team replaces Kishimoto team outright instead and actually knows what they are doing.

sppopy halloween art

WE'RE AT PUMPKIN HILL. YOU READY?! >>8149 Nice. Happy Halloween, anon!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRIeUP3Tygg

>>8150 n-no

>>8150 halloween came too quickly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7hQCg0O-go >>8152 Too late!

>>8149 Hog-o'-lantern

>>8121 I did. Played the shit outta Sonic Adventure 2. Cried when I thought I accidentally said goodbye to my favorite chao.

>>8157 >saying goodbyes to Chao. Hard shit to do everytime. Loved putting in hours after hours just raising the little fucks

>>8158 Me too. Definitely some of my fondest video game memories growing up.

>>8159 Not sure how likely we'll see it come back, but I wouldn't mind seeing Chao Garden come back at some point. Done by people who know what they're doing, of course. Anyways, night /sthg/!

>>8157 Hey, welcome anon. How happy were you when you found out you actually hadn't said goodbye to him?

Are you a furry if you want to fuck Amy? No other furry characters just Amy does it for you?

>>8166 Yes.

>>8163 Ty, ty. I was so relieved haha. Pretty sure I cried again when I realized I hadn’t actually sent him to live in a forest far away and would never see him again. I was very attached to my Chao lol

Storytime!

>>8167 >Has tits >Is underage

>>8175 >>8169 Nice storytiming but I thought we agreed on putting these in the comic thread for the sake of safe keeping and having an ongoing string of the comics in one place, so it wouldn't get buried in the main thread. Or was that agreed on? Either way, guess I'll read it now anyways.

>>8175 You know, Heroes plot rehash aside, this honestly makes me think why didn't he just use this plan the first time in Sonic Heroes? Again making the element of the Master Emerald so vital and essential when removed from the story.

>>8176 Oh, right. Sorta slipped my mind. I'll try to keep that in mind next issue. My bad! >>8177 He didn't have Eggman's intelligence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa5Qknf5fEc So even if this is a theory, is there any reason why Sonic Team never just did something like this to explain some of the elements of their games and how they actually work? Or is this another case of "explain key points offscreen ala manuals/comics" or "Japanese lingo for "what those it all mean?! mental stimulation aka, we're lazy and just make retarded things up for the sake of selling a game"?

>>8185 this is some good shit

>>8185 That's cool

>>8175 >>8113 I'm surprised Ian brought Metal Overlord back. He's indicated he didn't really like it, in the past, during The Ride.

>>8190 Maybe Ian finally came around to it. It's not as cool as Neo Metal, but I kinda like Metal Overlord.

>>8184 It's a case of it's a game about a fucking cartoon hedgehog running around like he's Speedy Gonzales and the emeralds are little more than a plot device, why the fuck are you concerned behind the science of it I think.

What's the worst boss in the classic games?

>>8193 The first CD boss. Laaaaaame

>>8193 all of Sonic Mania's

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL9EtmAUwM4 Why can't we get more Marza short films like this for the games?

>>8198 because sonic is all about Gotta Go Fast Chili Dogs and you can't go fast when you watch a 10 minute long cutscene

>>8192 Ok then, with that logic why bother making stories any deeper than Mario? Hypocrite. I hope SEGA isn't really like that.

>>8201 Do you even know what the word "hypocrite" even means?

>>8185 It would have been so cool if they hid another chilidog somewhere.

>>8202 The story of SEGA's workers making a bullshit excuse for half assing story telling something and expecting your fans to finish the job for them. Much like their games, too. By that statement, I meant that towards SEGA btw, not you.

https://twitter.com/AngieOverkill/status/1057795358716125184?s=19 Happy Halloween, /sthg/

>>8205 Jesus Christ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDomsyGmvXc Now this… is cool.

>>7914 SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IS FOR FAGS WHO HATE THEIR MOTHERS!

>>8208 rude

>>8208 So my mom hates herself then? She got Sonic 2 for me in 1996.

>>8204 You don't seem to understand the difference between a story with depth and a story that explains every detail. Chaos emeralds and their use don't get an in-depth explanation, because they're supposed to be these mysterious, mystical gems. Explaining how they work doesn't add to the narrative in any way. It removes the mystery around them, and, thus, their intrigue. It's similar to how Zelda is better without a hamfisted timeline shoved in, trying to tie all the games together.

>>8211 >because they're supposed to be these mysterious, mystical gems. For 20 years, that grows tiring… At least with some exposition about them, you'd at least fill in the gaps of games where that don't care to use them. >Explaining how they work doesn't add to the narrative in any way. Of course it doesn't, that's not the point, it's meant to answer questions, not encite confusion stacked on top of 20 years of bullshit things that are also "mysterious" in the same way, no explanations. > It removes the mystery around them, and, thus, their intrigue. The same way 20 years of no explanation about anything in Sonic's world, like Humans, Dark Gaias and power scaling, or the greatest question; what is canon? Because getting a straight answer after years of beating around the bush, aka, making shit up, totally isn't biting SEGA's projects in the ass. Give me more examples of games that share this mindset and ISN'T a dead series by this point? >It's similar to how Zelda is better without a hamfisted timeline shoved in, trying to tie all the games together. And yet, the Zelda fans I hear say they rather have that, because without it, they'd be like the Sonic fanbase right now. Complaining how the fuck the series actually works when it narratively doesn't at all at this point. If I really wasn't just a game only fag deep down, I'd understand where all those storyfags cry and rage from, since that's all they care about Sonic for, and I honestly pity them.

>>8212 >the Zelda fans I hear say they rather have that I don't now where you found them, because almost all the ones here on 8chan hate that shit. The Historia was shit that wasn't even entirely consistent, SS had a poor story that undermined the efforts of certain recurring characters in the series, and, overall, it was an attempt to unify several stories that were never intended to be unified, in the first place. >Complaining how the fuck the series actually works when it narratively doesn't at all at this point. Sonic has always tried to act like everything has happened in a single, consistent world and timeline. That's its problem. Zelda hasn't. Aside from games that are direct sequels, and SS, they've acted like they were intended to be self-contained stories and worlds, just with recurring elements. Zelda doesn't need a timeline, because it was never intended to have one. Retarded lore-fags just insisted that it needed to exist. >since that's all they care about Sonic for And they're idiots for doing so. Sonic was never about the story. That was always just extra dressing on top of the fun gameplay.

>>8213 >Sonic has always tried to act like everything has happened in a single, consistent world & timeline. Not him, but don't you mean two worlds anon?

>>8205 It'd be fun to punch Sonic.

Infinite's in as a "spirit", but not Shadow as an echo fighter.

now we have no content to sustain ourselves on for November/December

>>8221 We have comic books and social media posts. Sad, but it’s what we got to have for like 6 months.

>>8216 Sonic is smug, cheeky, and overconfident. It would be awesome to punch the little animal.

>>8222 ah yes I can't wait for more memes from Aaron and the monthly meltdown on reddit and half chan /sthg/ when he inevitably shills Game Grumps' newest Sonic Let's Play

>>8225 What a hero.

>>8225 Nice. >>8221 Well, we have IDW. But yeah, beyond that it's gonna be pretty barren for content for the rest of the year.

>>8225 >Halfchanposting But at least Sonic died a hero. No matter where he is, he'll always be way past cool.

>>8221 Hasn't this been the case for months? >>8225 Dumb (dead) rodent.

>>8228 Died a hero before he could become a villain.

>>8228 He died a hero's death. No better way for him to go, tbh.

>>8230 You know what, that's interesting. Canonically Sonic cannot be corrupted by evil, seen in SA1 and Unleashed, to the point of complete mental takeover and just have a form change or something. Do you think that would get referenced in Smash?

>>8233 Not sure, but it'd be cool.

>>8233 >Canonically Sonic cannot be corrupted by evil Is Sonic the purest boy in the franchise?

>>8235 Who else could be?

You know what… Sonic tried to save Pikachu… was it a… Sonichu reference?

>>8237 N-nah, couldn't be

>>8236 A male version of Cream?

Amy is considered an Ace rank in Spirit Mode, while Rouge is considered Advance, a tier below Ace. Amy > Rouge confirmed?

>>8240 Amy is best girl, so I'm fine with this

>>8240 In terms of combat, I'd probably would rather have Amy with me than Rouge. I'd take Blaze over both, though.

>>8237 I think it has more to do with the fact that they are both characters who can run very quickly.

>>8225 Things like this are why he'll always be one of my favorite characters. It's also cool to see that the team who made all this stayed more true to Sonic's character than modern Sonic Team did. >>8233 >>8235 By the looks of it the characters have honey poured on them and then a clone of them is made which a spirit can take control of. So if you see a corrupted Sonic, it's not the real Sonic, it's a clone of him.

>>8245 >So if you see a corrupted Sonic, it's not the real Sonic, it's a clone of him. Soo…. Shadow? I'm sorry

>>8225 >true hero >got himself captured >if it weren't for kirby, everything would have ended right there Sometimes, the heroic act is to be smart and protect yourself so that you can then later save others. Ineffective self-sacrifice isn't heroics; it's just reckless stupidity.

Sonic is never truly fast enough.

>>8246 >Shadow? Kek, probably. >>8247 Sonic leaves no one behind, he's a true bro.

>>8250 I like Espio. Wish they’d use him more.

god I love this series so much

>>8252 Agreed

>>8247 Reckless? Literally gods was getting killed off before Sonic did. Why would he expect really anyone to live other than himself being the known fastest, only to get btfo'd afterwards? He saves little animals in his world, it makes perfect sense he'd do the same here. Kirby is just BS broken, all thanks to creator bias. Even Iizuka had the right to want to make sure Sonic didn't just get DBS'd of powerwank in the end, which I don't mind but wished they make better narratives for the games to compensate that.

>>8252 You'd never get a comment on halfchan like this one, thank you kind anon With that said, I can only imagine how Shadow's deconfirmation on 4/sthg/ turned out since they were avidly crying over him last time and over milestones and whatever.

>>8257 There's something about this Sonic pic I just really like.

>>8252 What do you like about it?

>>8259 the good games, some of the mediocre games, the good parts of the bad games, Sonic, the good comics, the good episodes of the tv shows, the music, Sonic, the fanbase sometimes, /fast/

>>8260 Good post

>>8255 I mean, Kirby has never been defeated. He's taken on literal gods before and everyone else. Not to mention he does the warp star, that thing is fast as fuck. While Sonic was slowing down to save Pikachu Kirby was hightailing it out of there at speeds Sonic could probably reach. >>8256 I'm trying so hard not to make fun of Shadow fans right now. But whether I'm putting salt on their wounds or not I'm enjoying this so much.

>>8256 Does anyone have the pic of that guy finding /sthg/ for the first time and calling it home?

>>8262 You're right, I meant to say I'm not judging Kirby for being that, just stating the obvious. Should have explained it better, my bad.

We're past bumb limit.

>>8265 >2016 Yikes…

>look at twitter for more Sonic art >lots of art pics of Sonic trying to save Pikachu That’s pretty adorable.

>>8268 Fucking sweet

>>8266 do we need new bread

i got your new bread right here

>>8271 Pfft, nice.

>>8268 I like when the fanbase gets aligned and focuses on stuff like this.

Does anyone have that screencap of an angry Shadow fan from 4chan who was "literally shaking" from how mad they were that Shadow wasn't in?

>>8215 That's the same thing what your dad said about your mom. >>8247 >got himself captured >reckless I think you mean willing to sacrifice him, even if he failed or not, he wasn't being reckless, in a short moment, he wanted to help the yellow rat/others, so they can survive even if that means risking himself. He thought about others and tried to help them.

>>8271 Did people get their toasters or has that not happened yet?

>Just one month ago, Sonicfags and Pokefags were up at arms with how their respective developers of their games drops the ball game after game >Sakurai is the only person to get the two to unite as one Based Sakurai. Despite his weird choices for Smash fighters some times, he's still the best man on the planet.

>>8281 The art coming from all this is all kinds of nice.

>>8267 The screencap feels doubly sad since it was literally all downhill since.

>>8282 I never thought I'd love the idea of a Sonic/Pikachu friendship, but now I'd like to see that.

>>8285 It'd be a cute friendship, no doubt.

>>8284 Merrymakers will be arrested.

>>8281 >>8282 >>8286

>>8288 10/10

>>8276 y u asked for this twice

>>8290 Amy in SA2 was cute

Wake up, /sthg/ Aaron's gonna make more Sonic merch what do ya want?

>>8292 I just want more Modern Sonic stuff. It doesn't have to be crazy/fun. Just give me some decent looking figurines, plushies, decals, etc. in the Sega Shop or something. There's only like 10 things with modern characters right now and it's kind of pathetic

>>8292 Make a damn Infinite plush already!

>>8292 With how little actually interesting merch there is on the west, why do they waste time trying to come up with crazy things instead of taking care of the more basic needs first? It's become really peeving. Personally, I'd like really accurate and high quality plushies, specially some really huge ones because that would be awesome. I'd waste all my money on that!

>>8294 Infinite is too weak to get a plushie >>8296 I guess since Japan gets a lot of the cooler merch, they wanna try & make some wacky stuff for the Westerners. I think the Sonic toaster was neat & all, but I kinda struggle to think of anything major beyond more plushies.

>>8291 Yeah but not thanks to the cockeyed look the Gamecube port fucked up with.

>>8296 >Personally, I'd like really accurate and high quality plushies, specially some really huge ones because that would be awesome. I'd waste all my money on that! Does anything in America every be Japanese tier quality without just ending up ~300+ USD? You may want that, but companies do not make shit for niche markets. I have this Sonic plush that was originally a kids plushbag kind of thing, and that's the perfect sized of a plush I'd every need.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wuhvlNWyY4 I feel like I might be the only person that want something like this for 2D Modern Sonic games over the look of Advance sprites. I'm I?

>>8297 Weak boys need love (and merch) too.

>>8300 That actually looks pretty damn cool.

New thread when

>>8299 >companies do not make shit for niche markets. What about the toaster?

>>8305 but kids love the memes!

>>8304 Eh, whenever someone gets around to making the next thread. OP needs to be updated, though.

>>8305 Wierd case, niche if it doesn't cost a lot of money to produce. Do you not understand how hard it is to actually make 3ft tall Sonic plushies? Do you actually expect things that American 50 year old execs to classify as "for kids" would waste so much valued time making an acturate oversized plush for some nerd to fap/cuddle/etc with? Be real. REALLY, real. Expect to move to Japan if you expect quality where it matters, money with quality over money with quantity.

>>8290 I did? Oops.

https://twitter.com/IDWPublishing/status/1058388441002586114?s=09 Cool

New bread up, hope I didn't mess anything up >>8314

>>8309 >Do you not understand how hard it is to actually make 3ft tall Sonic plushies? What makes you think it is, or that it is harder than making a household appliance? >Do you actually expect things that American 50 year old execs to classify as "for kids" would waste so much valued time making an acturate oversized plush Yes, it makes much more sense than a toaster and has been done by numerous other companies before, including Sega.
