>>38920 I don't think any of the Sonic games with Denuvo (the modern form of Denuvo, not the old version on Forces) have been cracked yet. Your options for a pirated Shadow Gens are either emulating the Switch version or trying to mod as much of Shadow Gens into Unleashed Recompiled as possible.

sonic leg ends

fast

>>38923 Good to know, thanks. I think the newest game I've played is probably Forces so I'm really out of the loop. I'm guessing I'm going to run into similar issues when I go for Frontiers then?

>PS4 is getting a physical release again Good, I might buy this if the Switch version has a bad enough framerate. >Base game is $70 on all platforms except Switch Why? I'd sort of understand if they priced Frontiers 2 at $70, but this is a spinoff. Spinoffs shouldn't cost more than mainline games and it will probably sell horribly as a result since you can get all the mainline games for cheaper. >Digital Deluxe is $20 extra This is just the purest of pure greed. For $90 you can get Forces, Mania, SxSG and Frontiers when they're on sale.

>>38925 i cast haste

>>38926 >I'm guessing I'm going to run into similar issues when I go for Frontiers then? Yeah, it has Denuvo so your only option is to emulate the Switch version.

Maybe with the games now being $70, Sega will finally be able to pay me enough to where I won't have to work all of these second jobs.

>>38930 holy shit nigger

>>38931 Thanks to 8chan's higher file size limit I can finally post the full resolution version of Evan and me working at 7/11.

Tails!

Was the Biolizard the weakest boss that Super Sonic ever fought? I mean he was actively dying during the fight due to being disconnected from his life support and was had massive sores from all the energy he was absorbing. He only posed a threat because he was five minutes away from crashing the ARK into the Earth. The only reason Sonic and Shadow needed to go Super to kill him was to get to him and kill him quickly enough. Compare that to all the other Super Sonic fights where you're facing off either against a huge monster at the peak of its power or some mechanical monstrosity of Eggman's making, the Biolizard would easily job to any other final boss in the franchise.

Why's /fast/ so slow today? Didn't we just get a major news announcement?

>>38937 The Crossworlds trailer? I guess there wasn't a lot to discuss in it and anons don't generally seem very exited about it. I'm looking forward to the Iizuka interview tomorrow though.

>>38937 Seems like the majority of people here don't plan on buying it right away or at all.

Does this mean they're going to jew players for even more than $70?

>>38940 The Season pass is included in the $90 Digital Deluxe Edition, so it'll probably cost $20 on its own. And who's to say there won't be a second season pass if the game sells well enough. In short, yes, they will jew players out of way more than $70.

>>38938 > I'm looking forward to the Iizuka interview tomorrow though. Oh yeah I forgot about that, I wonder what his defense of it being the most expensive Sonic Game ever will be? Or will he dodge the question entirely?

>>38935 Huh, you're right. I never thought about it like that

>>38937 >>>>major

>>38942 He will dodge the question with some nonsense.

>>38942 Honestly, the interviewers may just think it's perfectly normal and that there's nothing wrong and may not even ask the question.

>>38943 >Solaris was the most powerful being Sonic ever fought >06 is considered the worst Sonic game >The Biolizard is the weakest final boss of any Sonic Game >SA2 is considered the best Sonic game Next game Super Sonic needs to fight an extremely weak opponent.

>>38947 one (1) motobug

>>38937 it's slow every day

>>38948 But how would you make a Super Sonic fight against a single motobug entertaining? My idea would be to make it a sort of race against the clock, perhaps to use Super Sonic's unlimited boost (going so fast to the point that it becomes challenging to control) to reach the motobug before it can trigger something that can destroy the world.

I'm so tired of Super Sonic being used just for the final fight, it's so fucking boring, they never do anything interesting with it.

>>38951 make superer sonic

>>38951 What do you suggest they do iinstead? Should they go back to having base Sonic fight a reskin of Nega Wisp Armor like they did during the 2010s?

>>38951 Well what would you do with a Super Sonic final stage?

>>38955 he's made so much progress

>>38940 Yeah. I just hope those 20$ extra stuff are worth it.

>Hatsune Miku, Joker, and Ichiban announced for Crossworlds with more coming for free >Game is legit a new Sonic and Sega all-stars games >Werehog and Sonic Prime also coming >Possible IDW comic characters too >Guest characters season pass >Zero microtransactions Bandicoot Who Thought He'd Lost All Hope Loses Last Additional Bit Of Hope He Didn't Even Know He Still Had.

>>38953 >>38954 How about an introductory level built around the super form, or a fight that is a bit more involved and has more to do? Super Sonic fights are always so limited.

>>38949 Before April this year, there were 0 posts a day, right? People are here now at least

>>38951 Frontiers?

>>38961 >People It's just Bump samefagging.

test

>>38959 >Zero microtransactions SO FAR

>>38966 I'm willing to chance fate and say there won't be any microtransactions...Because they already confirmed selling "character packs" if you don't get the season pass. Essentially the Mario Kart way of doing things. Moral: Don't sell skins and cosmetics individually with a BS virtual currency.

>>38965 >.png >animated I've heard of "anpg" files before but I think this is my first time actually seeing one

So here's the situation with Crossworlds alongside a comparison with MKW.

I think this may be where the Iizuka interview will be streamed. The segment starts now and we have to watch 1 hour of shit until they decide to actually start with his interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oExyqArcAnE

This part of Rainbow Garden looks like Windy Valley, right? Is this track supposed to be in the Mystic Ruins?

>>38972 For a second I thought we were getting a crossover with that series too Thanks for the link, I'll check it out

>>38974 >getting a crossover with that series too

>>38975 It might happen if the game is a success. Imagine all the amazing crossovers they could do with other companies if the game and first year of DLC do well.

>>38973 It does look like Windy Valley.

>>38976 Actually why haven't they put Angry Birds in it yet?

We still have to get through Rick and Morty...

Iizuka next

>>38969 Digimon collab next alongside Ren & stempy.

>>38982 Where's Ian???

>>38981 You say this, but I think that would be fucking amazing

So the races are going to be 3 laps and in the second lap you're going to be teleported to a different place?

>>38985 Yes

>>38984 A proper Sonic and Digimon crossover could be nice. Without lame kart trash I mean. Make Sonic and Tails go to Digiworld or something, and they befriend some Digimons and stuff.

The gameplay they're showing looks much better than what we've been seeing so far. Much more busy.

>>38988 The gameplay we saw months ago from the PS5 server test looked busy too, I remember people praising it for that

>>38987 I'd honestly like that too. Oddly enough it might be a fitting Frontiers crossover too with digital stuff being haywire and they wind up befriending Digimon along the way while confronting evil. There could be a specialized artifact that can make Sonic digivolve if Super Sonic isn't enough.

He completely dodged the question about different play modes.

>>38984 Man I fully agree with >>38987 I love both series

>>38969 >Wave 6 is obviously Ninja Turtles >Avatar and Spongebob are in there with two racers each So, what are the two other collabs?

>>38972 Oh they did CrossWorlds a while ago now. Maybe I'll check it in a bit

Why did they put the ugliest stage from Forces in Crossworlds as a track? Why couldn't we have gotten something that's actually aesthically pleasing like Metropolis or Null Space instead of Luminous Forest?

>>38992 Digimon (or Digimon Adventure I should say) gets brought up quite often in this community, at least when shipping is discussed. We seem to have some overlap. I don't really see Digimon get brought up often otherwise

>>38995 I kinda like Luminous Forest

>>38969 55 playable characters? How did they get that number? >>38987 That sounds like a lot of autism. I love it.

>>38998 >How did they get that number? C'mon anon, they are borrowing from multiple franchises

>>38996 I know about strange ships in the Sonic fandom and very oddball ones like Cinderalla X Sukuna, but I've never seen Digimon be brought up for shipping. I can probably see somebody pair a character with something like Agumon, Impmon, Veemon, Rookie Level Digimon but Ultimate and Beyond the levels? Humans? The time Digimon would be brought up would be the same way Dragon Ball do in like cool crossovers or power levels.

>>38996 Well, Digimon and Sonic do have something in common in shipping: Instant flamewar when it's mentioned.

>>38998 >23 Sonic Characters in the base game >15 Characters in the paid DLC >10 Characters in the free Updates >The Werehog >3 Prime Characters I'm only counting 52 characters.

Was it just me, or was barely anything said or revealed at that interview?

>>39003 Not surprising

>>39003 Yeah, not a lot of new stuff. It was just a 15 minutes interview. It's releasing in 3 months though, they're going to have to start ramping up the marketing soon.

>>38969 >55 Playable Characters (if you preorder the $90 deluxe version) >MKW has 50 playable Characters in the base game for $80 >30 race tracks (if you buy the DLC) >MKW has 30 tracks plus the open world without needing any DLCs Sonic Racing Crossworlds is really looking like a scam right now given that it has less content and costs more than Mario Kart.

>>39006 What would her voicelines be when interacting with Shadow?

>>39011 >"Kill them all Shadow, kill all the humans."

I wish Sonic was more popular...

What courses would you like to see in CrossWorlds?

>>39013 I don't, that never ends well.

>>39015 If people actually liked Sonic we'd be getting a Sonic game now instead of crossover garbage

>>39011 >"Why didn't you save meeeeee?"

Well that was a rather sad ending. I was not expecting to get feels from this game lol. It was a really nice plot twist.

>>38960 Isn't that what Frontiers tried to do?

>>38983 Making deliveries.

>>39026 Do you hate Ian?

The statue, I want the statue. Only problem is it's $250.

>>39030 I could deal with the price. The bigger problem is you likely won't see it for almost a year after purchase. A price tag like that, and the wait time. Thats insulting.

CrossWorlds has Red Star Rings. How do those work in the context of a racing game?

>>39032 Probably like the Puzzle Pieces in Banjo Pilot, if you collect them all you unlock a character or something. Maybe each track will have a mission to collect all five in under a certain time.

Have you guys ever played the local multiplayer in any of the Sonic home console games? I've never had the chance to try them. I've seen people talk about SA2's occasionally, but never for the other games

>>39034 >Have you guys ever played the local multiplayer in any of the Sonic home console games? I tried SA2's multiplayer with friends once, it was okay, but would've been substantially improved with people who had played the game. I did 4 player Sonic R once. After several rounds of beating everyone soundly, I used a cheat code to give everyone else Super Sonics to make things more fair, but Super Sonic's speed wasn't enough to overcome their lack of understanding of the games controls so I still beat them even as shitty characters like Egg Robo. I played some of Mania and Sonic 2's multiplayer, it was a fun diversion, but felt worse than singleplayer. Using only swap monitors made it fun. I really liked two player mean bean the one time I played it. Everything else I either don't own or haven't been able to get people to play with me (I think our Sonic R session burnt a lot of bridges).

Why do they make these racing games but don't include an online race mode in their normal games at all?

kiss me

Instead of a racing game, they should just make a normal Sonic game with online multiplayer races. Multiple playable characters all with the same basic controls and some different abilities, several stages to play, more stages added through updates Thoughts?

>>38965 This is super cool anon!

>>39038 >"Mario Kart." Says Sega.

>>39030 That's a nice statue

>>39031 The PC edition is digital only, which is lame but you probably would get the code at launch and it's $50 less. Considering the game is $70 on Steam, then I guess it's not a bad value for the price. >>39034 >local multiplayer Do you fags have IRL Sonicfag friends?

>>39038 It sounds like it'd be a pain to balance it if you want the characters to have their original abilities because they're just too different to each other's and I doubt they have the talent to do that anymore. But maybe as a side game on a bigger title so that they don't have to flesh it out so much could work.

>>39040 It is, I love it. Have another Bump.

>>39046 oooh, Bump's super form. That's cool!

>>39044 >Do you fags have IRL Sonicfag friends? No, just friends I've been able to coerce into playing Sonic with me occasionally.

>>39034 I've played 2s, 3&Ks, SA2s, Heroes', and Shad05s with my brother as we grew up together. SA2s was goated as always with Sonic 2s next in line. We also had a great amount of fun with Shad05s campaign thanks to the helper character being controllable

>>39049 Gemerl talks? I always assumed he was mute since he never talked in Advance 3.

>>39034 I played knuckles chaotix with my sister

>>39034 Played a lot of SA2 at a friend's house. That was one of the first time I learned about shortcuts in racing games when I could jump off the rails and onto the lower ones.

I was told Ian will be in cross worlds, he'll ride on a scooter and wear a pizzaboy outfit, Yoda from star wars will be in, The Hunter from Monster Hunter, The Monster from Momster Hunter, and Garfield from Garfield Kart will be playable.

Thoughts on the music in Crossworlds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cELdwule-WA

>>39054 awful, sounds like a 4kids opening

>>39054 What the fuck is that? Is this a leak? It sounds like the frame rate or the audio sample rate is fucked up or something.

>>39044 >Do you fags have IRL Sonicfag friends? No :(

>>39054 The audio sounds fucked up and the song might not even be complete, but it sounds like it'll be good when the game releases and we can hear it in decent quality. >>39055 Yeah it sounds like a 4kids anime opening, but in a good way.

>>39053 >Ian will be in cross worlds, he'll ride on a scooter and wear a pizzaboy outfit, Someone needs to mod this into the game when it comes out.

>>38965 >>39046 These are awesome, anon!

For some reason I didn't expect CrossWorlds to have a vocal theme

>>39054 I feel it's rather weak compared to other songs in the series. It starts strong but then gets worse. Also the faggot from TSR is there.

>>39076 >>39054 Also kek

>>39076 Mentioning the game's title is always a little off. I feel the same way about Sonic Heroes, even if I do like the song. I think it's something they usually intentionally avoid because it makes the song feel cheap. But this whole game is filled with cheap crossover collaborations, so I guess it doesn't matter, they'll take the marketability of those lyrics

>>39078 >Mentioning the game's title is always a little off. Apart from Heroes, how many Sonic games have even done that?

>>39078 >it doesn't matter NOW WHAT HAPPENS

>/fast/ is no longer on the top bar If this place fully dies where am I going to talk about Sonic?

>>39083 In the time chamber once you get TRAPPED and BETRAYED.

>>39083 maybe ill just stop using the internet i guess i have to get off of youtube though

>>39083 It was earlier today. It's been coming and leaving for a few days. Anyway, a lot of you guys were saying you weren't going to leave /fast/ or even that you wouldn't go back to 4chan and cried when I didn't believe you, I'm still encouraging you to prove me wrong

>>39086 shut up pissbaby i havent touched halfchan since the great revival

>>39087 Okay, you're one person, cool. There were multiple people making such claims so I'll keep encouraging them to prove me wrong

>>39086 >a lot of you guys were saying you weren't going to leave /fast/ and we're still here

>>39086 I've been here everyday since halfchan got hacked and there's just nobody to talk to. I post and then nobody responds for hours.

>>39083 I browse and post occasionally I honestly believe that 4 has bots making bait posts 24/7 to stay alive.

Is it just me or is Zavok's theme music underwhelming? He's one of Sonic's strongest foes (his base form is able to withstand homing attacks from Super Sonic) and yet his music is some of the most generic for any boss. He needs something better, something that exudes power and strength. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTj-iQ-eAcQ

>>39083 >>39086 Don't be dramatic, people take breaks, like i just did after 100%ing forces, there's only so much you can talk about yknow. This place is always going to be slower, it's the price one pays for not having to deal with glowies or bots, i'll probably post some more shit in the S rank thread eventually.

>>39090 Well, same for me, but I respond as soon as I see anything I can respond to >>39091 Wouldn't surprise me lol

>>39093 >100%ing forces Did you do all the achievements or just S rank every level? Because the achievements for that game are designed to waste your time.

>>39092 You're right, and I think Lost World's soundtrack was intentionally made to be more generic and less attention grabbing (like the game as a whole)

>>39095 Not him, are you talking about the system achievements or the in-game achievements/mission system? I don't think they are the same

>>39093 Wasn't this board getting 0 posts a day before the hack? Also, about half if not more of the people who posted here during and right after the hack have left, if they stayed then it would still be just as active as it was. People unironically prefer having much higher activity even if most of it is annoying and worthless. This place is already slow, and if it becomes slower, even more people will leave, and that will of course make it even slower. You know I'm right, if you want it to be active it will need to be more active, not less. If you're complacent it will only get worse

>>39095 Everything, and it really only is the 100k rings achievement that actively wastes your time, everything else is at best a bit dull. Still wouldn't say it's worth doing desu, at least getting all the red rings gives you the extra stages. >>39097 Wouldn't matter when i did everything anyways desu, i even S ranked the shadow stages.

>>39099 Did you do the SOS missions or whatever? I never see anyone talk about those, I had no idea they were even in the game until I played it

>>39098 Worthless activity is worse than nothing, i'd rather see a slow board than going back to the millionth shitshow about flynn or autistic shipfags samefagging till bump limit, i'm posting when i want, and whatever i want, as long as it's something i want to post, not just to keep some "activity" up, that's how you end up with a board that's nothing but crap.

>>39100 That's part of 100%, so yes.

>>39102 I tried doing some of them. Having to do them in one try messes with me a little because I'm not necessarily sure what it wants me to do, and when it comes to searching the hidden OCs I don't know where they're found, and since I only have one try it becomes harder to remember them as I have to play other stages before I'm allowed to try again. It might be fun though, I want to give it a proper shot someday

>>39096 But what's the point of making a game more generic in the first place?

>>39099 What drove you to do this? Why Forces when there are much better Sonic games to 100%? Are you going to torture yourself trying to 100% Lost World next?

>>39104 Orders from the SoA higher ups. Sonic 2006 served as evidence that westerners don't appreciate Sonic's original style and appealing to Sonic fans wasn't as profitable as they wanted it to be. So they thought it was a good idea to appeal to no one instead

>>39105 What is it that makes Lost World bad to 100%? I haven't played it yet, so I assumed 100% it was just Red Star Rings and S Ranks, like Colors

>>39103 They are colored, the rescue ones are colored cyan, and they suck, honestly i would just fail them on purpose to get better ones desu. >>39105 >What drove you to do this? Mostly a feeling of wanting to see if there was anything else to see in forces past the pitifully short main game, maybe completionist would make me see something there. Honestly, it's a bit more fun with some of the side content but it's nothing that special, it at least raised the game to be a 6/10 for me desu, still wouldn't say it's worth doing besides the red star rings for the extra levels. >Why Forces when there are much better Sonic games to 100%? Oh they'll have their turn, i just wanted to get it out of the way first. >Are you going to torture yourself trying to 100% Lost World next? I was doing that, then frozen factory 2 was so dogshit i took an extended break from it, i'll get back to finishing it up soon though.

>>39107 >What is it that makes Lost World bad to 100%? It has 100 Steam Achievements and a lot of them are arbitrary and not fun to complete.

>>39108 Do you remember what the hardest Red Star Ring to find was?

>>39083 Nigger do you think this place was created 2 months ago? It has been slower or faster but it has survived for over 10 years. Go play Sonic and post some webms, go draw Sonic and post your art, go search the internet and post someone else's art or news or obscure stuff, or tell people their Sonic theories are shit or something. Eventually discussing how to grow would be useful, but 8chan has struggled with that a lot. Either way this place is not going anywhere. >>39098 That is not really true you faggot, /fast/ was reasonably alive with its own posters and content in the past too and the reason it got so slow is because of how hard it got deplatformed for years, 4chan's 1 week outage is nothing in comparison. And we initially grew to that level of activity naturally by attracting posters from 4/sthg/ and elsewhere and if we keep it up we might again. But you will never get 10 replies in 1 second here and you will have to realize that is perfectly fine.

why are mommy and daddy fighting

>>39092 LW's OST is really mild and overstylized, it's not surprising. Really the Deadly 6 are so awkward that I wonder how the fuck the idea of creating them initially came up. It feels like it was some sort of Iizuka's whim that everyone had to put up with, and now they're a permanent part of the series without really deserving it. >>39104 Easier to make and no need to actually commit to something. Can't upset the Adventure fanbase if there's no new adventure game to get upset about.

>>39107 >What is it that makes Lost World bad to 100%? The fact that the achivement system is retarded, it's based on "missions" that the gave gives you, but only 3 at a time, and if you want more you have to check in with omochao to get more, if a mission is something like "do a wallrun" you have to wait till you have it on your mission list or it won't count.

>>39106 On that note: Fuck Game Grumps you worthless pieces of shit.

>Sonic Dash >Sonic Runners >Sonic Dash 2 >Sonic Forces Speed Battle Why did they make so many Sonic themed Endless Runners in the 2010s?

>>39132 I think they also made one for Prime.

Do you fags think (((video games news writers))) are as fixated on shitting on Sonic as before?

>>39132 >Why did they make so many Sonic themed Endless Runners in the 2010s? I guess they really wanted to cash in on the fad. They seemed pretty proud of it too lol, they used to mention their download numbers every chance they could get. >Sonic Forces PvP Racing Battle I don't remember that one at all. Was it actually PvP? Sounds a bit more interesting than the other endless runner clones if it was. Did they ever clear up why they considered Runners a failure and cancelled it? That seemed so abrupt and I remember it much more fondly than every other mobile game they released, so it's hard to imagine it actually was.

>>39135 >I guess they really wanted to cash in on the fad. They seemed pretty proud of it too lol Typical Sega, gassing themselves up for following the same trend that everyone else did. This is why they've never been hugely successful outside of Sonic, they only ever follow trends instead of trying to set them. >I don't remember that one at all. Was it actually PvP? That's Sonic Forces Speed Battle, they seemingly change the name each time I look at the App Store listing. >Did they ever clear up why they considered Runners a failure and cancelled it? I thought Sega's business reports mentioned that it didn't have enough players or engagement or whatever, but I'm not entirely sure what the exact reason was.

>>39135 >Did they ever clear up why they considered Runners a failure and cancelled it? That seemed so abrupt and I remember it much more fondly than every other mobile game they released, so it's hard to imagine it actually was. I've been wondering about that too. That's the mobile game I had the most fun with, and with all the remakes of it, it seems I'm not alone in that.

If Crossworlds, a spinoff, is $70, then does that mean Frontiers 2 and other mainline games will be $80?

>>39126 >Really the Deadly 6 are so awkward that I wonder how the fuck the idea of creating them initially came up. Come to think of it, I don't think they've ever released any concept art of the Deadly Six or said anything about their conception. It really would be interesting to learn about how Sonic Team came up with them.

>>39139 Honestly I'm surprised they haven't tried before, not sure what they see in Crossworlds that made them try with it first.

>>39146 >what they see in Crossworlds that made them try with it first. If I had to guess: >Crossworlds is the first big game to have began development after Sega increased Sonic Team's funding and they want the price to make up for the increased budget >They're trying to compete directly with Mario now (an executive mentioned this last year, IIRC) so they feel they can use the higher price to appear to have the same quality >Mario Kart gave them cover to raise prices >Sega's CEO apparently believes Crossworlds is very good and "the next level" of Sonic game

>>39126 >>39139 I'm still sticking with my Lunatacks theory but I have zero proof.

>>39154 meant >>39140

>>39154 >>39156 What is that?

Tails won

So, what percentage of players will get filtered by the first achievement in Crossworlds?

>>39175 My guess, about 70%

More Crossworlds trash. I love Sonic trash but it kind of peeves me that it seems everything has to have a shirt, a sweater, a phone cover, maybe some glasses. It feels so generic, it's like the kind of generic trash companies will give out to employees with their own brand at corporate events.

>>39175 So what's the explanation for this? I won't believe almost 1 in 2 people that bought the game didn't finish the tutorial.

>>39179 People don't actually play games

>>39179 I have never heard a satisfactory explanation, beyond people just not playing the games they own, but given that the majority of the people who own Sonic games are kids whose parents bought it for them I feel like most kids trying out the game would've at least played enough to get past the tutorial.

>>39179 >cuphead tutorial.webm I'd really love to see what the average person's playthrough of Frontiers' tutorial looks like. I might try looking on youtube to see if I can find anything interesting.

>>39153 >With Sonic superstars it turned out to be a disappointment in terms of the outcome compared to what we delivered It almost sounds like he believes they delivered something great but despite that it didn't end up performing well. >Sega's CEO apparently believes Crossworlds is very good and "the next level" of Sonic game >mfw

>>39182 Post them if you do

>>39185 I love this version too

>>39179 Eh, I see it as just another result of piles of accessible media and less tolerance for specific flaws in a game's design. I'm guilty of dropping games after 30 minutes realizing that I'm not going to enjoy doing it for hours.

>>39184 Searched through the newest Sonic Frontiers videos for anything interesting and there wasn't anything worth posting. There was a drunk guy streaming the game who kept accidentally activating the Open Zone Challenges and said "What's a Ninja?" when he encountered a Ninja in Kronos, but beyond that he seemed to not really have any trouble with the game, so not interesting enough to post here. I searched up the names of other Sonic games and sorted by new and even less stuff came up for them (which really shows Frontiers' reach relative to the rest of the franchise).

>>39194 Hi

So is the Extreme Gear gameplay different or not? People looking at gameplay said it's just reskinned cars, but SEGA is saying it's different.

>>39194 Patience my friend, conversations come through naturally when the opportunity shows.

>>39195 DON'T INTERRUPT ME WHILE I'M SCREAMING! >>39196 I don't imagine they'll have other special abilities. Haven't seen anything to that extent either.

The Japanese voice acting is so much more charming. I don't think the game will be that good but after watching so many videos I kinda want to play it at least for a few laps lol Did they explain what the rings are for? I think I've seen players drop them when taking damage so they seem to be for shielding like in the regular games?

Remember this leak? Will any of these games ever come out?

>>39200 Toys is Sonic Rumble.

>>39200 >Chao mobile game

>>39202 I know, I was mainly focused on Wonder and Reed Phantasy since those both sound interesting and we have no indication as to what they are besides the fact that Wonder is likely a Sonic game and Reed Phantasy is likely a Phantasy Star Game. Also you'd think the Sonic sports games would be close to coming out by now since they already had names in the leak.

Like it or not Zavok is the one bit of continuity in the post Colors canon: >Zavok was so strong against Sonic in Lost World that most of the Phantom Ruby clones made were of Zavok, including the one used to imprison and torture Sonic >Meanwhile Sonic has never fought any of the other enemies in Forces after Colors soft rebooted the Franchise effectively giving them no connection to Sonic >Zavok is also the only clone that Sonic has to fight alone even though the Avatar was present on the Death Egg, hinting at a sort of rivalry between him and Zavok >Zavok (the actual one) returned in TSR, not merely as another enemy, but as a surprise reveal near the end of the game's story >Since the Deadly Six have broken up after Lost World he's okay with working for Eggman now, the one bit of actual character growth to occur across games after Colors >In Frontiers Tails' mentioning of how he outsmarted the Deadly Six (accompanied by a photo of them) only to job to Chaos in Forces is one of the only callbacks in the entire game to actually work since there was already continuity between those games instead of it just being a memberberry >We're inevitably going to get more development of Zavok and Sonic's rivalry in Crossworlds (the game doesn't have a story, but Sonic will likely face him as a rival in Grand Prix mode)

>>39196 I think someone said that boards have different speed and acceleration stats from cars, but I haven't seen any evidence for or against that. >>39199 >Did they explain what the rings are for? In TSR picking up rings would increase your speed and fill your Team Ultimate Meter, so I assume they'll do the same here, though possibly without a Team Ultimate equivalent.

>>39160 Old group of Thundercats villians. They just remind me of the Deadly 6. There's some vague similarities but nothing specific.

>>39206 this is so meager that it literally amounts to nothing. Which highlights how poor the franchise content has been for so many years.

>>39208 I doubt its intentional, they're just based off the same generic archtypes.

Place yourself on the chart bros

>>39212 If one human man with a 7-8 inch dick were having anal sex with Rouge while she was giving a blowjob to another man of the same proportions, the tips of their dicks could potentially touch inside her.

Did you wanna touch tips inside Rouge UwU

>>39212 Yeah uh, Rogue might have some chest pain if she wants to do it with me.

Any hope that my boy Spark the Electric Jester will be in Crossworlds?

How much do you think fans would riot if Sega decided to say fuck it and made Shadow a huge mockery of himself?

>>39212 I'd probably be able to feel her heart beating when all the way in.

>>39224 Yeah, me too. Judging from the picture, I'd actually feel her heart if I go all in. Good grief, would she even want that?

>>39206 >Zavok is the one bit of continuity in the post Colors canon Eggman finding the Time Eater is right after the end of Colors

>>39220 What is that garbage I just saw

What is the appeal of kart racing games?

>>39224 >>39225 This is someone's fetish isn't it. >>39228 Probably the fact that they're simple and competitive games that you can just turn on and play with other people. Oh and you can do stupid shit which is fun. >>39230 What a rude rat

Wow none of you bothered to link this trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg0oNqG9uSw Looks pretty cool

>>39232 I just saw that it was Sonic x Shadow Generations and skipped it because I thought it was old news. But god damn that looks great. It's kinda funny that they included stages from the games after the original Gens, so it now feels like a game that looks at the future instead of the past lol, but I'm sure it makes sense in game. I'm pretty happy that they included Park Avenue, it really disappointed me in Forces because as a stage it was lame but it felt like it could have been a lot more. I hope they did some justice to it. I'll try to look into finally downloading this soon. Do I need to have played Shadow's game to understand the story and what goes on? I think the Black Doom shit is never explained in any other game. How do you think Sega feels about having to revisit Shadow's lore? It looks like one of the most interesting parts of the series but they just decided to shelf it for decades until the movies brought it back up. It feels pretty retarded that they were struggling to create interesting content for the series for so long only for some 3rd party to come around and use some of the old content in an interesting way resulting in them having to follow their lead instead of coming up with it themselves.

Is it happening /sthg/? Are we finally getting a new Sonic anime?

>>39234 They were there last year to show Dark Beginnings and they called it anime

>>39234 It's going to be Sonic x human slop like X. We are not getting anything OVA or SatAM level.

>>39236 I'm okay with this, I liked X They should do a season 4 >>39235 Yeah, another 4 minutes animation ad announcement sounds the most likely I guess. Considering they've done those for so many games recently, I'm guessing they might announce one for Crossworlds.

>>39237 Every game since Mania, excluding Forces

>>39238 I completely forgot about the Frontiers animation.

Why the fuck is it that despite all the technological gains that animation is still fucking expensive? Computer does most of the work now so why is that shit both hard to do and expensive?

>>39241 What I want to know is why the fuck animation was done so much better 70 years ago than now.

banter

>>39242 Lazy people relying on computers too much. Warner Bros seems to be the only western outfit with quality animation I can think of. Their "Looney Tunes Cartoons" are as good as the stuff made 70 years ago.

>>39243 I want to see Tails' lines

Some new stuff coming to Dream Team. I wonder how the developers stay motivated when they have to spend their time implementing random useless stuff like this.

>>39246 When is this game coming out to a proper platform

https://nitter.poast.org/GearoidReidy/status/1931960262401327231#m Sage's Japanese voice actress is based.

>>39248 And most replies agree too lol

>>39248 Well, if Nuku Nuku thinks so then I'm fine with it.

>>39252 I actually spoke to a japanese person who told me all about how theres a shit ton of foreigners who come and break the law now, apparently its a whole 1%, which doesnt sound like a lot, but japan is a very densely populated country and its just becoming more and more common

>>39219 Figures. >>39243 Wave won this one, lol

>>39254 >theres a shit ton of foreigners who come and break the law now It'd be a reasonable stance to have regardless, but how bad is it? Since it's Japan I would expect people to complain if you simply speak with someone else on the train home.

Sonic is doing a crossover with Squad Busters, some competitive and seemingly P2W mobile game about collecting more stuff than your opponents.

>>39256 >It'd be a reasonable stance to have regardless, but how bad is it? NTA, but I remember seeing a thread on halfchan a few months ago full of webms of Nigerians and Pajeets in Tokyo, but I have no clue how representative that is of the on the ground reality there. >>39248 >Sage spends the first half of Frontiers telling Sonic to leave the Starfall Islands because Sonic is reckless and is breaking all the rules on the islands, which results in the End getting released >Her Voice Actress calling for rule breaking foreigners to be kicked out of Japan They really did a good casting.

>>39257 Looks like the old SatAM catchphrase is becoming a mainstay again. Shame its gonna be used as a trojan horse for Archieshit.

Tails!

>>39263 >Shame its gonna be used as a trojan horse for Archieshit How? Shit's deader than Boom.

>>39246 They all look dripped out, especially Knuckles and Shadow.

Would you go see Crush40 play Adventure songs in a small concert hall full of fans /fast/?

>>39269 Yes, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy being around other Sonic fans.

>>39246 Aren't these just costumes from Speed Battle?

>>39270 Would you sing Escape from the City like a huge fag too? I probably would

>>39272 Probably.

>>39267 Unless the bumblekast thing lead to Ian Flynn getting flogged by Sega, anything SatAM will be used as a trojan horse for Archieshit. Now SatAM stuff is fine (hell, they still sell the DVDs) but the last thing we need is more subpar comic autism.

>>38921 >Sonic the Hedgehog #79 - 25 June 2025 <Still 2 more weeks Sega DO something! When do you think announcements for Crossworlds pre release content will be? I'm sure they'll release an animation or something. If they release a 4 chapter animation 1 per week like for previous games, that means they'll start premiering like a month before the release, so around late August. So they have a range of a month and a half? to announce their stuff. >>39276 >Unless the bumblekast thing What bumblekast thing? It seems extremely unlikely Sega will want to touch Archie stuff ever again.

>>39278 CrossWorlds is so boring...

New manga comes out tomorrow Official translations of both mangas were announced

>>39281 Oh nice! What's the release schedule for this, once per months like the comics? Also, storytime when! >Official translations of both mangas were announced I don't remember this, where was it announced and how long is it gonna be before the official translation?

>>39257 New trailer for this collab!

>>39282 In Japanese, one per month I think In English they haven't given any release dates yet afaik >where was it announced Today on the Japanese CoroCoro Twitter account

I swear to god we get more Sonic animations from third parties and cameos than from Sega themselves and it's making me rather upset.

>>39287 I'm getting seriously tired of these crossovers

I completely missed these. I love them so much. So many nice details, every time I look I notice something pleasant that I missed.

im running out of internet communities

>>39290 last

>>39291 You're not the only one.

>>39287 >Japanese App Store ad How many people who see this will even know what Sonic is? Though the fact that Sonic is featured so prominently in an ad for the App Store itself makes it seem like we'll probably see more high budget Sonic games releasing on Apple Arcade in the future. >Knuckles trips over a caution sign That was genuinely funny.

>>39291 I feel you anon. This made me wonder, what would Sage's voice sound like?

>>39295 i feel like voice topics come up fairly often for like comics and ocs but ive never been able to articulate my thoughts the way others are different characters have differentish voices in my head but its not clear speech like i can imagine someones voice that ive heard before saying things theyve never said perfectly clearly but for a made up voice its kinda like in a dream when you can get the idea but not what it really sounds like

>>39295 >spoiler I imagine she sounds like Raven.

>>39295 >Sage Raven >Bump Starfire

>>39295 Like Mandy after chain smoking for a few years.

>>39299 forgot pic

Which /sthg/ character has the scratchy tomboy voice that's really rare irl but shows up in nearly every cartoon?

>>39294 >How many people who see this will even know what Sonic is? That's the point of ads >more high budget Sonic games releasing on Apple Arcade I'd really rather not Just put them on PC

>>39301 Nine literally has the same voice as Rainbow Dash...

>>39303 Nine is not an OC...

>>39304 I misread part of the post, sorry

>>39301 Lurk maybe

>>39289 I knew it existed but I didn't bother looking at it until now

>>39302 The deal with Apple is a faustian bargain of sorts, they pay for the development of games and dlcs that wouldn't exist otherwise, but the games are seemingly perpetually locked to their perscription service. So you either get games like Dream Team stuck in Apple's walled garden or you don't get them at all. If Dream Team ever gets a port, it'll happen in 2026 at the soonest given that a lot of other big Apple Arcade exclusives waited three years to go multiplat.

>>39313 Does this strategy even work? I never hear of anyone who actually plays Apple Arcade stuff

>>39314 >Does this strategy even work? No, Apple's got more money than sense. Apple literally does nothing to market Apple Arcade, even to people who already own their devices, the only indication the average person will ever see that Apple Arcade even exists is the tiny Apple Arcade kiosk tucked away inside of Apple stores. Even games outside of Apple Arcade aren't immune to this, Apple occasionally pays to have AAA games ported to Mac (Cyberpunk 2077 for example) and then does absolutely nothing to inform anyone that these ports exist or even give solid release dates for them. Apple TV+ has this issue as well, they have tons of exclusive programming, but barely any of it gets marketed. >>39315 The animation looks really nice, but the Marza Model just drags it down.

>>39315 I realize this is a test animation for a feature so it's going to be exaggerated to show the feature better, but I don't really like it. It looks like what goes on in SA1 when the characters talk though, I wonder if they're going to go for something similar. I imagine some nerd in Sonic Team waiting 30 years for the possibility of implementing that back in lol.

https://nitter.poast.org/corocoro_tw/status/1933328465731964950#m >The new series "Sonic and the Sword of Courage" finally starts in the July issue of Monthly CoroCoro Comic, released today, June 13th 🌀!! The first episode is a special 60-page permanent edition!! The adventure of Sonic and the boy Yuta begins on a super-large scale - don't miss the beginning of the legend!! That's a fat book. Imagine how much OC action IDW could put in their books if they had 60 pages to work with! Do you think the human OC in this will gather the same negative comments as IDW OCs? Here's the statement >>39281 mentioned too.

>>39291 Mine have dwindled a lot of the years and the forums I used to visit back in the day are pretty much dead. I hate the current state of the internet so much

>>39321 hot

>>39319 >Do you think the human OC in this will gather the same negative comments as IDW OCs? If this were the 2000s, he'd probably get hated much more than any of them. Who knows what it's like now though, it's been a while since we've had an important human character alongside Sonic, people might like it now

I wonder how they will distribute the mangas in English

>>39326 cereal boxes

>>39326 Poorly, and then they'll say they failed to meet expectations and never do it again.

>>39319 I'm just glad to see a human again at all

Shouldn't the manga come out today? At what time is it releasing? >>39330 Same

>>39331 Considering it was releasing in Japan, it probably released yesterday by now.

>>39332 Shouldn't people be talking about it then

>>39333 I have no idea if it leaked yet and I imagine people can't read the moonrunes. Probably worth keeping an eye on scanlation sites, but I don't normally read manga so I'm not familiar.

What would Sonic characters look like without fur?

>>39335 Like a nightmare. Sonic would probably look white or something.

>A majority of people quit Forces before beating CHADVOK Have any other first bosses in the Sonic franchise filtered as many people as he has?

>>39337 People buy games just to not play them lol

>>39337 These are probably the most unreliable statistics I've seen lol. So what about the legitimately difficult to get achievements? I guess those must be like 0.001%?

>>39341 >These are probably the most unreliable statistics I've seen lol. Unfortunately they're the best statistics we have. >So what about the legitimately difficult to get achievements? I guess those must be like 0.001%? Pretty much.

>>39338 Did you fags do this with any Sonic games?

>>39343 >>39342 It's like that for Frontiers too, more than half of players quit before finishing the tutorial and a third couldn't beat the Ninja fight. Mania only had like 5% of people make it to the credits. SxSG however did have slightly better engagement, a majority of people completed the second acts of both games (something Frontiers wasn't able to even come close to) and 29 and 24% of players completed Shadow and Sonic Generations respectively compared to the 10-15% completion rates that Frontiers and Forces had.

>>39343 The only Sonic game I quit after the first level was Pinball Party.

>>39319 Ah Japan and their self insert male protagonists.

>>39346 Why do they always need humans to self insert as anyway?

>>39344 Maybe the rates will go down with time if the theory is true, as people will continue buying the games but not playing them.

>>39348 >Maybe the rates will go down with time if the theory is true, as people will continue buying the games but not playing them. The percentages of players who got the first two achievements has actually dropped since I took the screenshot I used in >>39344 last year, so it appears your theory of people buying the games, installing them and just not playing them is correct.

>>39347 Lack of imagination.

>>39347 because they're based

Tails

Will you buy IDW OC merch? Also Comic Con is next month, will Sega have a panel?

>>39354 >had to package them with Sonic LMAOOOOOO

>>39354 >Will you buy IDW OC merch? Is it easily accessible for purchase in an online store?

>>39356 Given that the Tangle and Whisper funkos were Comic Con exclusives, I'd bet against it.

>>39356 Comic Con limited edition.

>>39354 Nice to see Kit get merch

Generations has too many city stages

>>39360 Sonic is a city slicker

Well, this works. Kinda. Rather surprising given the 99999 abstraction layers. Stutters a bit at the beginning but then gets better although it still feels like it's frame skipping. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find my controller and make it work and see if I can make the game run at 60fps.

>>39365 Tested just the beginning of Shadow's part to check if that worked too, which it did. But that wobbly sound from SA2 takes me back and is going to give me nightmares lol. I think Shadow's VA is probably my favorite of the English cast now.

>>39365 >>39366 What are you running this on?

>>39354 Not unless it at a Walmart, Target or hell even the mall

I'm bored...

>>39369 how does that puzzle website work

>>39370 I don't know what you're referring to

>>39372 that thing where we do puzzles together

>>39373 I think I saw that years ago. Completely forgot about it

>>39354 >Will you buy IDW OC merch? el oh el

>>39354 Whisper daki soon?

>>39354 Sonic with his wife and their adopted son!

>>39325 You're forgetting the movies. Hell, in the Knuckles TV show, Knuckles wasn't even really the main character, Wade was.

>>39381 Lol, fair point. Yeah, human leads won't get hated now, thanks to the movies

>>39380 >son please dont misgender surge trans women are real women

It's time to whoop one fifth of an ass!

Anyone know a good Sonic image to superimpose on his head?

Is the new manga only one chapter or are they doing monthly releases?

>>39367 I'm running Sudachi (Switch emulator) through Wine on Linux. I just downloaded a torrent that included everything I needed and it didn't dawn on me how retarded the setup was until after posting the videos, but I run all my untrusted software through wine as I just sandbox Wine so that I can run any number of programs through it instead of having to mess with each program individually, so I just did like I usually do. I should research these emulators to see if I can trust them to run unsandboxed. I assume the game/switch code cannot do stupid shit outside the emulator, so if the emulator can be trusted I should be good. But I'm not sure if it's worth it, it seems to work in the current setup.

>>39387 I thought it was going to be a monthly release, but re reading >>39319 now I don't know if they instead mean that they're including it in a monthly CoroCoro book.

>>39388 I'm not familiar with Sudachi, but I know Yuzu has Linux builds >I assume the game/switch code cannot do stupid shit outside the emulator It's possible that there's some bug that allows it, but realistically the chances are low, and it's unlikely someone would exploit it even if they knew about it. Surprisingly that's not really something that happens in those communities

>>39389 I was wondering because 60 pages seems like a lot. But that also says "first episode"

>>39380 kek, that relationship would be all kinds of broken. >>39381 I just ignored that show so hard that I completely forgot it was a thing. >Knuckles wasn't even really the main character I'm gonna forget about it even harder now holy shit, fuck these faggots. >>39386 I went searching but I noticed that all my images have Sonic at an angle from the camera, not facing it directly like in your image. And it makes sense, I've noticed before that it never looks good when he's facing the camera, but I just never noticed how much this was purposefully avoided.

>>39390 Oh yeah, that's a good idea. I see Yuzu in my distro's repos so chances are it's not full of poz and might be good to give that a try. >it's unlikely someone would exploit it even if they knew about it This came from a fit>girl release so I'm not keen on taking chances kek. But I agree that it'd be very rare to see an emulator escape exploit. >>39391 Yeah, but it seems it's 60 pages because it's the first episode, so if the next ones are less pages I could see it being a monthly release. IDW comics are 30 pages each. But it's true that it doesn't completely say what the release schedule will be. It's gonna be super lame if it's not monthly.

Grand Prix mode for Crossworlds announced... without really giving out much information.

>>39395 It's probably going to be exactly like the Grand Prix mode of TSR, but with one racer being assigned a more difficult CPU being your rival.

>>39395 I wanted to be excited for this game, but I see no reason to

>>39395 Any word on them having a mission mode?

>>39396 >difficult I think difficulty in Sonic games is like a forbidden topic, things always either end up piss easy or extremely difficult. How do you implement difficulty correctly in Sonic games and how do you make it so that players can adjust the difficulty level like in most other games? >>39398 I've become a bit curious to be honest. I don't think it'll be good but I'd like to play a few races. >>39399 Not that I know.

>>39400 I like when it's difficult

>>39400 What I think would be a good idea is that lowering the difficulty slider, creates more platforms and lowers Sonic's top speed, however I don't think that alone would solve the issue of difficulty.

>>39390 I started looking into running a standalone Switch emulator and I want to slice my veins with a rusty knife >yuzu was killed to death by a lawsuit from nintendo >a fork was made called suyu, which was abandoned early this year >another fork called Citron was apparently made by bad actors lol >another fork is or was called sudachi which is what came with the torrent I downloaded >when you search for it you get a few sites, and two of them call themselves the official one >apparently none of them are the actual official site lol >the about dialog on the binaries I have does not have a URL for whatever stupid reason >'strings sudachi.exe | grep http' yields an URL for a domain which has been squatted by cancer >the best I could find is some shady repositories with incomplete builds from months ago and no clues about their authenticity I just wanted to play video games.

>>39400 >How do you implement difficulty correctly in Sonic games and how do you make it so that players can adjust the difficulty level like in most other games? Castlevania III/Rondo of Blood method. Tie difficulty to character. Sonic is the standard difficulty and other characters have OP moves. As a bonus make Sonic have a higher potential ceiling for skilled players.

>>39403 Aren't the last stable versions of Yuzu and Ryujinx on Archive.org? Just use one of those. Or buy a hackable switch specifically to play pirated games on.

>>39404 Weren't Sonic 2 and 3 like this? Tails was easy mode, Sonic was normal and Knuckles was hard. Heroes sort of followed this structure too.

>>39400 >How do you implement difficulty correctly in Sonic games and how do you make it so that players can adjust the difficulty level like in most other games? Nintendo has perfected entry level games and the answer they gave is the only one available that minimizes development workload: Give the player a pseudo god-mode power up

>>39407 >Give the player a pseudo god-mode power up That's the worst way to do it (for players).

>>39405 The last stable version would be like a year and a half old and I'm not sure if that would be better than what I have. Either way I'm not executing random stuff downloaded from a site anyone can upload to.

>>39408 It's the most effective way to do it. Platforming is about the players ability to get through the obstacle course the designer made. If the player fails, they either suck or the challenge is too difficult. You can put a platform above a pit the player keeps failing at, or you can give the player the ability to jump higher and farther

>>39409 From what I've heard a most newer Switch games work in Yuzu and Riyujinx so it has a good shot at working. Even if it doesn't work, Frontiers, Superstars and all the other Switch Sonic games should still work. I downloaded CItra (the 3DS emulator taken down alongside Yuzu) from archive.org without it being malware. The pages with the actual versions of the emulators should logically be the ones with the most downloads.

>>39404 But then wouldn't that get in the way of telling the game's story? I want to see a short comic of Knuckles trying to imitate being Sonic because someone tried to go through Sonic's story as him for difficulty reasons.

What was the reaction like when Zavok was announced as a playable character in TSR?

>>39411 I downloaded a patch to unlock the FPS and it seems to work fantastic like this so I think I'm keeping it. I just need to find my controller now. God damn Gens looks beautiful. Also lol Sonic has the drop dash now. >Superstars Is it actually worth playing this?

Also Tails is cute.

>>39416 Tails is NOT cute!

>>39415 >Is it actually worth playing this? I've never tried it so I wouldn't know, but since piracy is free, I guess it's worth at least trying. It always looked too bland and forgettable for me to bother with it, so don't expect anything close to Mania levels of quality.

>>39418 I came across this video and it looks kinda sorta fast at least. The art style is just horrible though. >so don't expect anything close to Mania levels of quality oh no, I wasn't, lol.

>>39419 >The art style is just horrible though. I remember when Superstars and Mario Wonder were announced, I had a conversation with my brother that amounted to "Why do they both look so retarded?"

>>39415 >Is it actually worth playing this? Try it and find out!

>>39415 Something I came across a while ago while looking at the catalog >>16658 2019, in the news section >Drop-Dash to be a mainstay.

>>39416 Yup. I like when the two Tails say "We're traveling through time and space!" The new version is cute too, but it feels incomplete, probably because I'm used to hearing the old one

>>39403 Ryubing? https://git.ryujinx.app/ryubing/ryujinx

You didn't read the 90's manga You didn't read the 00's manga You didn't read the modern Sonic games manga promotionals You didn't read the 20th anniversary manga stories You didn't read the Superstars manga You didn't read the Shadow Generations manga And now you are not reading the newest manga.

>>39430 yep buy i *have* read lots of fanfics

>>39430 You forgot to list the western comics, I didn't read those either.

Which Sonic games do you guys replay the most? I've been doing a lot of SA2 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles replaying these past two weeks

>>39433 In the past I often replayed the classic trilogy (especially Sonic 2) and the Adventure games, but lately I just occasionally replay the few stages I like in Forces

>>39433 Honestly don't really replay Sonic games all that often, mainly because there's still a decent backlog of Sonic games that I haven't played.

>>39433 I think I don't enjoy most Sonic games enough so as to want to go back to them often, and those that I enjoyed more I feel like I've played enough. I think I've probably replayed Gens and Colors the most. If I had more time I'd probably replay S3&K and Rush again.

>>39430 Why don't you storytime them? I didn't even know about most of those mangas. >>39431 >>39432 kek

>>39430 I've read dash & spin, only remember because i saved this panel desu

Can Sonic Rumble come out yet

SEGAAAA! Make a Sonic fighting game with all the characters! And my life is YOOOOURS!

>>39448 I don't care about fighting games but it would be so cool to have a proper game that actually uses the characters

I want the next game to have human NPCs again

Anyone else feel that Modern Sonic lacks iconic moments? Seems like most of the memorable scenes and events are from the first game to Unleashed >>39450 >human npcs Speaking of Unleashed, that was the last time we saw one which is inching close to twenty years. Sega must really not like human npcs, or alternatively Sonic Team doesn't care and just does whatever they want

>>39451 Well, they were controversial >Modern Sonic lacks iconic moments If you mean from 2010 onward, definitely yeah. There's the start of the fight with Giganto I guess. Forces has some cool moments, but I don't know if they managed to become iconic

>>39447 Are you really looking forward to that?? >>39451 Sonic games have been progressively reduced to the minimum expression, it's no wonder iconic moments were lost along the way. Having good OSTs was also a staple of the franchise and I fully expect those to also be a casualty. >Unleashed was almost 20 years ago Fucking hell what the fuck. I still feel like it's mid 2010s with Sonic because so little has happened since 2011. >Sega must really not like human npcs, or alternatively Sonic Team doesn't care and just does whatever they want Sonic Team is like a tired old man that just wants the easy way out of everything, and adding humans requires world building and effort. >pic Gun truck is much more iconic than the whale chase.

>>39453 >Are you really looking forward to that?? It looks more interesting than CrossWorlds. Which isn't a high bar at all, but still, I might try Rumble if they ever bother releasing it properly

1 week to Sonic's 34th birthday

>>39455 Do you think they'll make any big announcements?

>>39456 No way, lol. They haven't hinted at anything so far, but I hope there's something more than a tweet with an image.

>>39347 Because they know the market, people want to know what its like to kiss Sonic.

>>39451 The last time Sonic properly did in-level spectacle was Terminal Velocity in Colors. Forces tried and failed and Frontiers didn't try at all. >b-but the Titan Fights I said in-level spectacle. Not to mention that the fights don't seem to have the staying power of the sorts of spectacle you'd find in earlier games, when people think of Sonic their minds go more to things like the loops in Green Hill, the Whale Chase, the Truck Chase or some of the early, spectacle heavy levels from Unleashed instead of the Titan Fights.

What is she reading /sthg/? >idiot sheep ruins the day for everyone

What type of person will be playing as Zazz when Crossworlds comes out? What's his appeal?

>>39462 No idea. On a somewhat related note, I've been told his voice was changed for Crossworlds. I wonder how many of his fans like or dislike this change

>>39461 hmofa romance slowburn

>>39468 that genre must be very popular if it's getting printed on newspapers over there.

Hi guys :)

>>39469 it's published as a weekly column

4/sthg/ storytimed the manga

>>39430 Most of those aren't even scanned, yet alone translated, are they? I've seen a few issues of the 90s and 2000s mangas around, but never the entire thing. Are they completely lost?

>>39468 >romance slowburn Kek, big though diamond cutter's leader loving mushy romance series. I bet she'd end up best friends with silver if she wasn't a dick to him.

>>39472 Was it translated?

>>39475 With AI. I want to see the raws but I don't know where to find them.

>>39476 Gross. I've asked /a/ for help, not expecting much but we'll see.

Blatantly stole nibroc's renders for this.

>>39481 >sage has no skills or abilities

Dream Team is now cancelled. https://nitter.poast.org/KenPenders/status/1933969794388447395

I get the feeling not a whole lot of people care about the new manga.

>>39484 It's not even available in the west.

>>39485 Neither was the Shadow manga, but that got a lot more attention when the first issue came out

Maybe that's why Crossworlds is so expensive, lol. With so many characters in the game creating interactions between them must have been a nightmare. I wonder how many lines are in a regular Sonic game, this feels like a lot of effort for something so shallow. Also movable beak is weird. >>39486 How are you measuring interest?

>>39487 By looking up "blade of courage" on major websites and finding zero post-release conversations about it.

>>39487 >With so many characters in the game Is 24 a lot?

>>39485 When do you think the English release is coming out? The announcement was so vague, and SEGA didn't even acknowledge it as far as I can tell.

>>39489 It sure is if you need interactions between all of them, but I thought the game was going to have over 50 anyway. >>39490 I don't think they have any rush sadly, and by the time they release it everyone who was interested in it will either have forgotten about it or have read it from somewhere else. I really want someone to translate it already. >SEGA didn't even acknowledge it as far as I can tell They retweeted the statement from CoroCoro.

>>39484 I made it through a chapter of that before a chapter of IDW Not saying much, I know

>>39484 Has it been translated yet? AI doesn't count.

>>39489 >24*23 = 552 possible rival combinations >Plus a bunch of voicelines for each character's normal moves and interactions This is easily more dialogue than any other game.

>>39481 damn bump is just a wall of tits

I cant stop thinking about this idea.. with that whole Sonic X DC Crossover comic being a thing, it makes me wonder what would it be like if Sonic crossed with Marvel. Without the MCU meta humor quips and referencing old stuff just because of course.
