New Sonic Channel pic! >Amy takes out her favorite raincoat and umbrella to take a walk in good mood in the Sunset Heights, which is soaked in the gentle rain. Under the rainbow sky shining alter the rain, she finds little happiness growing on this place, and can’t help herself but smile... It’s soon the rain season (in Japan). Even on rainy days, let’s go out in a nice fashion! Amy is cute

>>24117 >More whisp bullshit

Some pictures from the Colors remaster and the Wii version.

>>24119 Some models seem to be rendered in much higher resolution but I think it makes the game look rather sterile.

New concept art revealed for the story of the upcoming Sonic Rangers game.

>>24120 Really? The original just looks like a 3DS game to me by comparison. The lower polygon count isn't drastically different enough to make it look much different, it just looks slightly worse. I could see your point if this was a Spyro Reignited deal, but it's nothing like that. And at least they're actually doing something beyond increasing the rendering resolution and maybe adding some post-processing effects. They could have just done that and called it a day.

>>24122 Don't you see how some effects like the water transparency in the first set are gone and how the colors are all washed out in the webm?

>>24123 Notice the post I replied to said that the higher res models made the game look sterile.

>>24124 But you said >And at least they're actually doing something beyond increasing the rendering resolution and maybe adding some post-processing effects. They could have just done that and called it a day. Which implies the outcome in general is good or desirable. Regarding the higher res thing, I don't think it specifically affects the game at large negatively judging by the rest of the pictures but in that close up picture where the difference clearly shows, the removed blurriness makes it feel less full. I'm not sure how to put it, it feels like something's missing from the scene, everything's much sharper and perfectly defined and it feels a bit awkward. Perhaps I'm just too used to the way it used to be, or just biased from the other pictures. Either way it's not really the biggest worry. Things are a bit sketchy right now regarding what's current in terms of where in the development process the game is right now, so I'm still hopeful it'll come up alright.

>>24125 I just meant that it's not a lazy repackaging as an "HD edition" like a lot of 3D game re-releases are. They're actually putting some work into it.

>>24126 Yeah, that's true. I wonder how much of that is due to them actually wanting to upgrade it and how much it's just a technical need for the port, or maybe even to cut corners given the result. I wish they would have found a way to add more levels, Colors was fun despite the criticism.

>>24119 I literally can't tell which of your pics is from which version. This is how it goes with basically any "remasters." It's completely pointless. The only times you can tell the difference, it's only because it's worse, like the Spyro remakes someone mentioned above. >>24127 What criticism? Colors was widely loved upon release, and got very positive criticism. The negative criticism is from Sonic autists only, and they were drowned out for years before you could hear their criticism. I'm one of those autists who thinks it's one of the worst in the series. But I acknowledge that I'm in the minority.

>>24031 Damn you. Damn youuuuu! >>24028 Yeah, that one, probably. Was storytimed on /v/ once or twice in 2019. You wouldn't happen to have a link or something, do you?

>>24132 >Was storytimed on /v/ once or twice in 2019 Have you tried looking it up in an archive? If you remember specific posts or phrases you'd have it easy.

We sinking Just in time for the birthday.

>>24136 >birthday Guess I should get off my fat ass and make something. Who's birthday btw? Sage's or Bump's?

>>24137 >>24136 Aaaaand I just remembered their birthdays are one after the other

>>24137 Not theirs, Sonic's! Though /sthg/'s is the month after and then the mascots' are the month after that. Make Bump art regardless you faggot

>>24139 >spoiler I'll be drawing both of them if I can

>>24142 God damn, an off panel. What a blast from the past.

Today there was a Summer Game Fest stream and they teased part of the Sonic 30th Anniversary Symphony. Holy shit this sounds so good. I'm a huge audio nerd and this gives me a boner. I really really hope they play the Colors final boss tune because that's such a fucking amazing composition and I really want a higher quality recording of that. Honestly I was rather indifferent to the idea in at first but god damn I want this now. I wonder what Ohtani will be DJing because I feel there's a real chance it's gonna be quite an awful contrast, and also his last performances weren't great and he tends to play stuff from Forces which also isn't precisely amazing.

New footage from Sonic Colors Ultimate. The new scenes from Planet Wisp really help sell the remaster, the backgrounds are super blurry on the Wii version. They should have done the initial announcements with this stage. I've never even realized there were actual wild wisps on Planet Wisp. It's also been confirmed Tails won't be playable and that the Tails icon on the UI is a new feature where Tails can pick you up and save you if you fall into an endless pit. Iizuka claimed they made the game easier so that it's a good game for kids new to the franchise due to the inflow because of the movie and the recent games. I just hope it means they'll allow the 2022 game to actually not be completely dumbed down. Youtube has higher quality options for some reason. >Planet Wisp https://yewtu.be/jpjiY664akY / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpjiY664akY >Asteroid Coaster https://yewtu.be/P758rgleQ5Y / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P758rgleQ5Y >Tropical Restort https://yewtu.be/8uGQYxUm-yY / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uGQYxUm-yY

>>24158 As if Sonic Colors isn't already the easiest game in the entire franchise. How damn easy could they possibly make it?

Iizuka did an interview for Gameinformer and there are a couple of interesting sections in it. https://archive.is/7YdrL The classic games that are going to be released for Sonic Origins will have some new features and support 16:9 resolutions >However, Sonic Origins will have features that not even the Sega Ages versions have. Not only will the playable game area be in the 16:9 format, but it will also be a multiplatform release of a title containing Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and CD. Look forward to hearing a lot more announcements about Sonic Origins in the near future. Seems the next game is going to be kind of a landmark. I wonder if they'll really shake things up and create something with as much behind it as e.g. Unleashed. >Ever since the release of Sonic Forces, Sonic Team in Japan was trying many different approaches to deliver a next-gen Sonic experience. While celebrating 30 years of Sonic titles and thinking about what the modern gameplay experience should be for a Sonic title, we also needed to think about what path forward we should plan to take for the next decade >I do believe we will see an advancement in what a modern Sonic game can be >>24155 >I wonder what Ohtani will be DJing Well this is no longer a concern, he'll be playing in a regular band and not DJing, which is actually pretty cool and I'm looking forward to what they end up doing. https://archive.is/BI0vy >>24168 >How damn easy could they possibly make it? Well they're practically eliminating bottomless pits for starters.

I don't know if it's legit or not but Penders appears to have sold to people the copies he submitted when he screwed over Archie. Holy shit this dude.

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=cE_zAoOHKHg Uh-oh

>>24176 That couldn't have possibly been cheap. They're also doing another crossover with Legends Revive, mp4 related what the fuck was that? kek Anyone baking the birthday thread? Tomorrow's finally the day. I need to grab me the exact time of tomorrow's concert later to make sure not to miss it.

Brand new Sonic game coming through.

>>24177 Sonic's dead. He let Ken get a hit in. Two hours from now Sonic is going to be enjoying a chili-dog when his head suddenly explodes.

>>24178 Imagine being this /slow/ >>24179 Sonic has revived and is alive and well in the NEW THREAD >>24181 >>24181 >>24181 >>24181 >>24181
