Why bad future OP you may ask? because the youtube shutdown is a clear test to come in the future for a post-apocalyptic hell hole of corporations censoring and blinding the internet from its free reigns to finally gain full control over humanity once in for all.

Slow

>>7540 Sticks pls

>>7540 Kek Also it's nearly Halloween, post some spooky Sonic music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nabMFIDhw6c It's time.

I was looking through my storage last night and found some old Sonic action figures that I forgot I had. Do they even make stuff for characters that aren't the main 4 + Eggman anymore? I mean besides simple things like posters or the pogs. It feels like it's been forever besides the Chao plushies that just came out.

>>7548 Only relevant ones are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Metal, and Jet. Never ever see any other characters anymore.

>>7549 that's sad

>>7538 >bad future But that pic is the Good Future version of Stardust Speedway.

>>7548 One of the plush companies made some cool plushes of characters like the Chaotix, Big, Metal, Chaos, and the Babylon Rogues. They lost the license a bit ago, though. I heard rumor they might get it back, but I haven't seen anything other than hearsay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mop9jNE1TEM New Sonic Model on the horizon If only Sonic Team would spend some time doing the same. I just hope this guy's project doesn't get pender'd, he's clearly not an native Englishmen to know all the details about him I feel.

>>7548 Did you find any other Sonic things?

>>7538 >/Sthg/ Awkward.

>>7557 this was called /sthg/ last thread though

>>7555 lolz wacky anime situations :"D

>>7558 >/sthg/ That's my point. Also >>7538 >Previous Zone: >>7513 Should be >>7151

>>7555 Love Bunnie's face in the bottom panel

>>7561 Makes you wanna stick your cock right in that mouth, huh?

Whatever happened to that Sonic guy?

He meant how the S is capitalized.

>>7564 I don't know what you're talking about. It's always been /StHg/.

>>7565 I thought it was /STHg/ >>7563 He's sleeping

>>7560 Weird nitpick but alright. I'll give you that on the Zone. I made the thread at 4am.

So this happened after Tracy Yardley reacted to the news of Canada legalizing marijuana country-wide.

>>7566 Next thread we should go big and make it /STHG/

>>7569 and then /STHGDX/ for the next one after that.

>>7554 my copy of Sonic Advance

>>7571 Are you going to play it?

What makes you still stick with the blue rodent?

>>7572 of course

>>7573 There's almost never a period where I dislike EVERYTHING in the series. Whether it's me enjoying the comics while I'm not enjoying the games, or me enjoying the games when the comics aren't around, or me liking the music or fan-content, I always have something to enjoy about Sonic.

>>7573 He's hard to give up, even with all of his misses.

Will next month's comic be delayed to the end of the month too?

>>7577 IIRC, it was delayed this time around due to circumstances, so hopefully next month won't have the same problem.

>>7568 Sonic is a good boy who would never do the weed.

>>7573 The fact his games I became a fan with are still there for me to play and enjoy? Why should I ditch something just because idiots don't know how to make more of the things I like? I still have the games I enjoyed.

Sonic is pretty great sometimes

>>7583 But he also is really lame sometimes too.

>>7584 that's very true unfortunately

Amy is SO ADORABLE

>>7586 Why would Modern bully Classic like that?

>>7593 He's taller, that's reason enough.

>>7593 Envy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntTR-vit8TU >Mighty and Ray have full hearts for only Amy good taste

>>7597 That's because they double-team her every weekend at her place.

When was the last time you've seen a Sonic ad in real life?

>>7600 I saw an billboard with an ad for the Sonic fast food place, does that count

>>7600 Never.

>>7592 Why is Amy's fur color so light here and for that matter, why did they do the same for Sonic in Forces? He looks fine here in Lost World, which is what Sonic Forces is a mod of.

>>7604 Das cute

>>7604 Damn rodents. Get out of my Dreamcast!

>>7606 What if the Dreamcast got into your rodents?

>>7607 I think he'd die if he ate a video game console.

>>7609 Sonic has a big stomach, he can take it. How do you think he got so round in his youth?

>>7610 Sonic should be skin and bones with how much exercise he gets.

>>7603 I like her with light hair

>>7608 There is something special about the stupid things Penders has created over the years

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTEDZQaEIts So with this video, Sonic carrying anyone would actually kill them? Does this mean the humans in X aren't as weak as you could have though? Both Helen and Chris were carried by Sonic before and they are just kids. Oh and this dude made a Gotta Go Fast reference so yeah, I kinda had to think about Sonic after this video

>>7615 Chances are, things work differently in Sonic & being carried by him won't do too much damage. But in the games, there hasn't been that many examples of Sonic carrying people while running fast. I mean there's Elise in 06, but that's really about it IIRC.

>>7619 Maria is dead.

>>7621 Cute cuddlehog >>7620 Rude

>>7618 From the thumbnail I though he had boobs

>>7623 Fuck, now I can't unsee it

>>7621 I want to buy one of these but they're so expensive. it also doesn't look fluffy enough anyway

Bat

>>7626 I thought she’s now a cat?

>>7625 How expensive are we talking about here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRgqOL3T1do

>>7628 all the ones on ebay that I see are always $80+ unless they're fake from china

>>7630 Yeah, that's pretty expensive for what it is.

>>7626 Rouge a cute.

>>7629 Seeing VAs perform IRL is always amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fOXvXrCaTA

the /sthg/ discord and the mods behind it are fucking garbage

>>7630 Needed to get it when the company still had the license.

>>7633 >Nazo God, that brings back so many great memories. Nazo Unleashed is pretty silly looking back now, but that was my shit when it first came out & it's honestly pretty cool just how much effort Chakara X put into it.

>>7636 I have a solution for you. Don't use a fucking discord for a community that's supposed to be based on anonymity, you giant fucking asshole faggot.

I love sonic

>>7642 I do too

>>7642 >>7643 But why

>>7644 Because he's good bullying material for Metal Sonic

>>7644 he's nice

>>7644 Sonic’s really cool and fast.

https://www.target.com/p/sonic-mega-man-worlds-collide-super-deluxe-edition-limited-hardcover/-/A-53998074 This a thing

>>7636 That's still a thing?

>>7650 God I wish that were me.

>>7648 interesting. I would have thought sega wanted to ignore all Archie related material at this point

>>7650 >sonic will never hug you why live

>>7650 That's cute

>>7652 So did we all. Sega is always unpredictable and full of surprises.

>>7655 Yeah, talk about being stubborn & full of surprises!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPX_5JcOFqE

>>7657 >Crush 40 Rooftop Run

https://youtu.be/Cvgta_gZk5I >>7658 I think it was the weakest tune of the concert. I'm pretty burned out of Rooftop Run at this point. Here's the full one, starts at 18:30. First tune is pretty awesome.

>>7659 I guess I have a soft spot for Rooftop's theme, since is the best level in Unleashed for me. Honestly, a question I always don't know how to answer, but what theme does Sonic represent? I honestly prefer Classic era elements, where the stage has its own music and what SEGA could do the add in a SA2 like approach with it would be to change the music with elements that fits the character you're playing as. E.g, Rouge adds jazz, Shadow adds "Synth"? Whatever that was in White Jungle, which I though was like a mix of rock or something, which is why I wasn't should if Sonic should be Jue Sueno rock or was it Shadow's thing ala Shadow's game. But imo, rock can work for Sonic so I don't know, does others think the same or does Sonic represent something else? I'd like to see SEGA use music like this for the games to harmonize the classic era's stage OST with character variation ala SA2.

>>7660 I think rock fits Modern Sonic pretty well, especially the way Jun does it. The type of techno (I guess?) music Shadow uses in his stages fits edgehog nicely, imo.

>>7661 I hope the next 3d Sonic game has greater musical variety. Unleashed,SA1,and SA2 are probably my favorite soundtracks in the entire series because of this.

>>7661 Techno, yeah that's what Shadow should be. Something modern but not super futuristic like Silver. Another thing I think works great in Sonic is if they made second acts pick up the pace in Sonic's OST, like how Mania handled it with Chemical Plant and Metallic Madness.

>>7663 Yeah they should really think about going back to the act structure again, it would help them extend the length of the game without the obnoxious padding. Also Sonic Team needs to realize it's okay for a game to be short.

Would you hug this Amy?

>>7664 >Also Sonic Team needs to realize it's okay for a game to be short. How short of a game would you accept for $60?

>>7667 I'd take an amazing 4 hour experience if there was replay value as well of course. Multiple playable characters would help.

>>7650 The big Sonic mascots they got are so cute.

>>7666 Not a chance. I don't want to be corrupted.

>>7667 Mania tier short.

>>7670 The Joypolis mascot can be a bit creepy sometimes. Like in that webm, it just charges at the camera, lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ok9c6zIL50 Is this accerate level design in Black Knight?

>>7674 I assume you're being sarcastic, but yes. It's because Black Knight, like Secret Rings, is entirely on rails. You can only move Sonic forward, backward, and strafing left or right. The challenge comes from the fact that you don't have a boost button that lets you plow through every obstacle.

>>7675 Well I really wasn't trying to be sarcastic, although I knew BK was on rails, I didn't expect it to look as linear as that (I come from seeing stuff like Klonoa, etc.) I honestly asked because, well, it looked exactly like a Forces level. Why the fuck did they hire this man; Kishimoto, for linear shit like this?

>>7677 I love when Sonic does something dumb and Amy rejects him. Someone post that Archie page about Sonic smelling awful.

>>7678 Pic not related, seems I left that file loaded in the reply box from before Bump is always related.

>>7678 Loved this moment

>>7680 That's the one!

https://youtu.be/xrlgfC0SJ9g

Morning /sthg/

>>7682 If that were Sage he would have lost an eye. Also Sage's not cute. >>7683 Morning anon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcXF0BIXPe0 Huh. Neat.

>>7684 >Spoiler Implying

>>7688 More like Sonic the Sickhog.

>>7688 >>7689 Sick Sonic is cute. I have a folder for that.

>>7690 What an odd fetish.

>>7691 >despirate Dumb hog

>>7691 It's cute seeing sick characters sometimes. Brings them down a bit.

>>7680 I think this is cuter, but Ian is probably influenced by this comic come to think of it.

>>7660 Sonic should have heavy soul, funk, hip-hop, and jazzy influences again. The "urban" niche worked well for Sonic and it still does. The people Aaron and modern Sonic Team are trying to appeal to naturally don't like Sonic.

>>7695 As a fan of 90s Sonic mostly and op of that post, I agree. Rock is just something I represent for Adventure era Sonic, and why I wasn't sure should just be Shadow's thing since he mostly represents 2000s era.

Will any of you guys actually go see the Sonic movie in theaters?

>>7697 No chance in hell. It's going to suck so there's no reason to go and risk an embarrassing situation.

>>7697 I'll wait for torrents

>>7698 I seriously think it's not going to be any more embarrassing than Emoji movie or as shitty as Dragonball Evolution or The Last Airbender. It's not that big of a deal, but I have no reason to go since it just doesn't seem like it would be worth my time. >>7697 I'll just wait for online rips. I don't feel like paying for something only the fans can seem to do right that SEGA can't do right, right now.

>>7697 Absolutely not. I'm not putting any money towards that shitshow.

Two "new" Speed Battle characters. Thoughts?

>>7703 I like Witch Rouge, but the white stripes on the side of Shadow's head looks weird.

>>7704 True. Would look much better if you removed them.

>>7703 >shadow Edgy.

>>7697 I really have no interest in seeing it at all. At best I could see myself watching it with a bunch of anons in like a cytube or something.

>>7703 I like this one better.

>>7703 Why do Shadow and Rouge only get cool stuff? Classicfags like me are NEGLECTED by 3d Sonic.

>>7709 Dead fluff ball

>>7712 R-rude

Which Archie character do you miss the most /sthg/?

>>7714 Does Honey count?

>>7714 Fiona Fox and Scourge

>>7714 Shard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BJYL1YK19k

>>7714 Oof, there's a few I miss pretty heavily. Scourge, Shard, Egg Bosses, Eclipse & the whole Meropis thing. >>7718 Oh hey, that's pretty cool.

>>7720 Hmm, imo Metal wouldn't really feel that way since in Heroes he considered himself "the real Sonic". Though that could just mean "superior" Sonic, but still…

>>7721 I mean, that was Heroes. I don't know if the current Metal feels he's not a robot or whatever.

>>7722 Hmm, i get this whole "ending of Heroes should have been Omega aand Shadow killing Metal" but that was never confirmed, iirc. It's just a fan theory that explains what would of made sense. Too bad SEGA is retarded at making stories in Sonic after SA2. So as far as I'm sure of, Metal now is Metal since Sonic CD. The only other Metals is Nega's Metal and Boom Metal.

>>7723 Regardless if it is the same Metal or not, Eggman would've no doubt reprogrammed him to be more loyal.

>>7720 I remember a request like this being made but never fulfilled. Nice to see the idea finally coming to an image (whether by an actual drawfag or someone unrelated to /sthg/ that had the same though by chance).

>>7724 Yeah, that's true. Point taken.

>>7727 Bring back Emerl!

>>7729 He is deader than Shard.

>>7729 >>7730 Well he's going to be in IDW issue 10 or something like that. So there's that.

"I don't play Sonic games that much / or like the franchise that much / but I love the (or some of the) characters" This is a reoccurring sentiment I see from the ""fans"" and non-fans of it alike, what gives?

>>7732 The characters have potential, but are in the wrong hands.

>>7732 Most people seem to only like Sonic from the comics. Most people today aren't really fans that started with Sonic on the Genesis, and at most started with SA1-2 or something around that time. That or most are lying to themselves and hide the fact they play the games because "Sonic was never good" in the gaming market. Ignore those kinds of people really.

>>7734 Most people don’t read the comics, though.

>>7735 Yes they do. Or at least they did. Otherwise many sites like halfchan would be so filled with them that state they don't play the games or don't like them as much as the comics. I'm not joking when I say lots of people in this franchise grew up with Archie/Satam Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm not one of them, but I've been on the Internet long enough to tell they exist in large numbers, maybe like 40-60 ratio of comics-games respectively.

>>7736 *Wouldn't

>>7732 It's mostly coming from people who grew up around the time characters & stories were very important in the Sonic games, like the Adventure era, or was introduced to the series via shows like SatAM or Sonic X. Not that I have much issue with those people, since the characters have a lot of potential, despite being misused in the more recent games.

>>7738 could that be why the series has had such low sales lately? Lost World was a financial failure, Mania only sold a million as of April despite the insane hype, and Forces supposedly sold strongly but since its sales haven't been boasted about like Mania's, I think it's safe to say it sold much less. All of the characters besides Sonic rarely show up and when they do, they're useless or portrayed in unlikeable ways such as Tails being a coward or Knuckles being an idiot. There's nothing for the cartoonfags to enjoy. Same with Adventurefags since the 3D games are mostly 2.5D now.

>>7739 It's possible, but I also think Sonic's shoddy reputation of hit or miss titles may be beginning to catch up to the series. Mania had a lot of hype & goodwill behind it, but I can see not a whole lot of people being into it because it just reminded them of the previous times SEGA released a good Sonic game, only to follow it up with another mediocre title. Which, funny enough, happened with Forces. It's gonna take a lot of time for SEGA to repair the trust with the fanabse after all these years.

It's not going to happen but let's pretend it does. Team Sonic Racing sells better than both Forces and Mania despite the lack of advertising, not being an actual Sonic platformer, and not being available for parents to buy for their kids at Christmas. What happens next? Do you think the direction of the franchise will change at al? like no more forced holiday releases, no more forcing Classic Sonic into everything, even more budget titles, etc.

>>7740 >may be beginning to catch up to the series. What you do you mean "beginning"? 06 killed the series, image wise and quality wise from SEGA's control on Sonic. Ever since that game and ShTH, no one takes Sonic seriously anymore, and not because his games have lenosehair jokes, capsulizes hated his over dramatic era a lot and if they just kept it in check and balanced, it wouldn't have caused so much damage. It's why Unleashed was overdramtically bashed on and claimed as shitty as 06 and Colors was overratted to be the best Sonic game of the 3D era, which is bullshit not because it's 2.5D at most, it's because it's not even a good 2D Sonic game when you have the Classics, Advance era, Rush and even Generation's Classic Sonic. It's embarrassing.

>>7742 >What do you mean "beginning?" I mean in regards to sales. Unleashed, Colors & Generations all managed to sell well, but starting with Lost World, no title has come close to it in sales. Unless Mania Plus significantly boosts Mania's sales, which is possible.

>>7743 I don't like to count Colors and Generations since both was boosted via being on the overrated Wii and Gens being bundled multiple times and the PC version getting massive modding support. Unleashed getting over 2mil is a good merit, considering the outcry over the Werehog and all.

>>7739 >There's nothing for the cartoonfags to enjoy. I think there's not a lot to enjoy in general for most people. The franchise keeps alienating the people that like it by constantly changing things for other that work even worse.

>>7742 >Colors was overratted to be the best Sonic game of the 3D era, which is bullshit not because it's 2.5D at most, it's because it's not even a good 2D Sonic god this so much. So many people don't understand. 06 may have killed the series but Colors is what cemented that in place and made it so that the franchise could never be revived any time soon. Colors was the first """3d""" Sonic game to be mostly 2D where the 2D was slow and tedious with shit level design. They had the Classic Sonic games to look to for level design and physics and they didn't bother. It was also the first game that Kishimoto directed and of course since it was received well and sold well, they gave him full reign of the franchise. That's why we got Lost World and Forces with blocky level design and horrible physics. It's all his fault and by extension Colors' fault. Nothing will ever improve. Sega sees those review scores and sales and they don't get it. They see people still defending Colors as the only two good 3D Sonic game (Generations being the other which also suffers from barely being 3D and poor level design outside of Green Hill and Seaside Hill) and think it's perfect and the gold standard for what 3D Sonic should be. Shadow was poison, 06 was the bullet, and Colors was a really shiny and pretty looking nail in the coffin

>>7745 Not really. Mania is here for gamefags to enjoy

>>7747 Yeah, I wasn't counting Mania since it's pretty much the exception to every rule.

We need to buy Sonic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJdTpZq0VY So this is fan made, huh…

Welp.. Sega is doing a collab with Pornhub. New low even for them

>>7753 Pfft, nice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5OhXyV-LRo

>>7756 "SoA are a subsidiary of SoJ. They reside in Japan and do not come under my jurisdiction at all. Likewise, i know this will make you all mad; SoA has no say in the voice casting. Absolutely none. - Simon Jeffery, former president of SoA So SoJ took away Ryan Drummond, replaced Jason Griffith, for Roger Craig Smith…

>>7757 I assume SoJ has to approve of each casting choice.

>>7752 Looks pretty good.

>>7753 There's no way that's official.

>>7760 SEGA's not partnering with PornHub, c'mon now.

>>7761 Too bad. Hey, they partnered with Hooters, who knows what they could come up with.

>>7753 >>7761 >>7762 Imagine if SEGA decided to break new ground by becoming the first major game company to make and distribute official porn of its characters.

>>7763 Wasn't there a rumor about that a news site decided to spread a couple of years ago?

>>7763 And the fans would still do it better. :^)

>>7758 Approve is one thing, they basically 'control and 'select'' who we get. I remember a story said from 4/sthg/ once about Ryan's acting was hated by the Japs in SA2, and how they it was them that purposely made the English cast quote Japan lines like "Yosh" and "Taria!" because they got over sensitive for the direction of the story's presentation and whatnot. So the reason we have Roger now and for as long as we got them was things to SoJ thinking it sounds right. Meanwhile, Japan's cast has never changed since they started, in SA1. I just find it stupid the English said of Sonic is that controlled by SoJ for Voice Acting… That shouldn't be something they would care too much about.

>>7767 You have to remember that this is the same SoJ that got supremely upset that SoA did better at selling the Mega Drive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq-p0_aSHok >>7762 Hooters in Japan is not a strip club like in Burgerland. It's not their fault Americans think only the USA exists and nothing else matters. >>7763 It already did before.

>>7768 IIRC, it was less supremely upset at SoA, but moreso people in SoJ was thinking "why can't we be more like them?" when it came to selling the Mega Drive/Genesis.

>>7763 Bold strategy since most Sonic characters are underage. >>7764 Some less known Onion-esque video game site did it.

>>7770 No, they were definitely envious. They wouldn't have fired the guy responsible for marketing the Genesis so well and then try their own hand (and fail) at marketing the Saturn in the U.S.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWOkasriD-Y

>>7769 Who wants to bet the bean character has this personality

>>7767 I just don't get why they have so much control to begin with when Sonic always and always will mostly appeal to Westerners and non-Japanese people in general

>>7772 Honestly given that it's SEGA, it's just as likely that's incompetence, as opposed to malice. >>7775 I can get it given SEGA being a Japan-based company, but I've always felt like both sides working together has produced some of the better stuff in the series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TMvd1tI8jk CUTE

>>7777 What does this have to do with Sonic?

Night

>>7779 Night, anon.

>>7703 >>7710 Which of these would you like to be used for the Attention Hungry Games now that it's back? >>>/sudo/87507 Or something else like the Tails doll, the various ghosts in the series, the Infinite CD Sonic, etc?

>>7779 Goodnight.

>>7781 How about this one? I saw it looking for another pic that I actually couldn't find and thought maybe it could work.

>>7783 I guess for a future one, but I was thinking of going for a Halloween theme given the time of year.

Post your MOST retarded headcanons possible Here's mine >The special dimension where Fang the Sniper resides in is a dimension where everyone is a corrupted criminal in various degrees. The dimension looks like the Wild West which is why Fang looks the way he does. Fang was one of the most wanted and hated criminals there before he jumped over to Sonic's dimension. >uhh idk for now

>>7786 Oh yeah, that will also work.

>>7789 You might as well claim posting nothing but a nature documentary on hawks is Sonic-related.

>>7785 That's a really adorable gif >>7790 It does bring up the question: Do nature documentaries exists in Sonic's world?

>>7790 Sorry if I triggered you, I just like animal stuff that makes me think of Sonic characters based on them. No one complained before with the hedgehog stuff I once posted, but whatever, I won't post it anymore.

>>7791 >It does bring up the question: Do nature documentaries exists in Sonic's world? They have Flickies, so they should.

>>7792 I mean, you should at least related it to Sonic in some way, even if it's just greentexting how Sage must be as cute. Simply posting an animal video and calling it cute doesn't really cut it.

>>7794 Well maybe I'll just post the like of the video instead of embed it, that way I can post images too since you can't do both. I wish it was like on 4chan instead, or at least with how it works using 4chanX

>>7790 That's not equivalent to what he did in the least.

>>7796 >post nothing but a video on real-life baby sloths >only text is the word "cute" >nothing Sonic related at all That's precisely what he did. He made an /an/ post without tying it to Sonic in any way.

>>7797 /an/?

>>7797 Ah, damn, I slightly misread the post. Anyway, it's one post in 240+ and it does have some relation to the franchise. If he were flooding threads with train content I'd understand the concern. I don't think there's a need to be so strict. If anything I'm more baffled at him thinking Sage's cute. >>7798 I think that was the 4chan board for animals and nature.

NAME EM ALL OR ELSE YOU'RE NOT A REAL SONIC FAN

>>7797 Sonic and friends. :^)

>>7800 >All dat pendershit at the bottom >Yet no Honey.

>>7801 Oops, meant for >>7800

>>7802 >johnny light foot tekno porker lewis shorty that echidna i forgot his name manic sonia aleena >pendershit wtf

>>7804 Not them, but the other characters who were Pendered

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufE_Ol1DmJU Ok, as much as I'm kinda happy for this, that SEGA is actually for once giving TIME to their devs on their projects, I hope this means Team Dev of TSR actually takes advantage of this and make the game actually look good. And by that I mean as good as ASRT and making the graphics not look like a mobile game.

>>7811 I highly doubt they're delaying the game to improve the quality. Just look at Forces. I hate to bring up Sonic 06 since it's been 12 years but yeah, look at that too. All rushed for Christmas releases. Kids' games sell so well November/December and missing a holiday release is huge. I'm 99% sure the only reason TSR is getting delayed is because of how many other games are releasing this November/December. Pokemon Let's Go, Spyro, Smash, etc. They're all aimed at kids just like TSR. Every console + PC has at least one big game coming to it. There's no way TSR would stand out. That's the only reason it's getting delayed. If they actually cared about quality we would not have gotten 06, Rise of Lyric, Forces, etc. the way that they were.

>>7813 Ok, stop. One thing to realize, this isn't Sonic Team. This is Sumo Digital. Even with the newfags they got, it's still 5 times better than current Sonic Team. RoL was by BigRedButton, not Sonic Team. Their problem wasn't even that they couldn't make a good game, SEGA fucked them over because of that 3 Sonic game exclusivity deal and didn't inform them which system Sonic Boom was for, from devs that were exclusively Playstation developers, hence the use of the Unreal engine. And 06 was all the blame of SEGA yet again, as the entirety of Sonic Team was split 3 times over (yes, three times over, making Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06 and Sonic games on the Wii at the same time.) It was a lost cause not because this team you downplay is shit, SEGA of Japan are shitty businessmen, and always have been since the 90s, since SEGA of America BTFO'd them countless times at doing their job. Cut the pessimism, the FACT we got 2 Sonic games in the last 5 years getting delayed, means something. Forces only got "forced" out the gate was because of Mania. Reason? SoJ thought Mania would fail and used Forces as a clutch, thinking it was the superior product. Oops. There is no financial reason for TSR devs to sit on their asses for literally HALF A YEAR considering what the video above states, without them actually doing something with the game in the meantime. Need an example? Rayman Legends. Game was complete for the Wii U in March of 2014, but was delayed for ~5 months because Microsoft was buttmad Sony would get a release for the game first once Ubisoft decided to go multiplat for the game. Corporate bullshit. And for Sumo's case, there's no proof they'll let a game sit for months on end, whether or not the game is "finished" already by now, and not expect to still pay their workers for a game that's done. They are obligated to work on the game still until the game can be released. And with that news, I'm honestly looking forward in hopes the dev team heard the complaints with the game and is out to fix them, making the game get everso closer to ASRT tier of good, if not as good as the original one.

>>7811 I have no idea what they tried to do with this game. There was barely anything on it and they just went and just as quietly delayed it a couple of months before release. There wasn't the huge backlash that usually makes companies reconsider or anything like that.

>>7817 What "illegal activities" was he partaking in?

>>7818 I dunno, but he did have a bit of a meltdown on his YouTube, but he has since deleted the comments he made. I would be upset about this & Sonic Infinity being cancelled because the guys behind it were assholes, but Sonic Omniverse is gonna pick up the pieces of World it seems & Sonic Islands exists.

>>7819 I only ask because, as far as I know, this could be about the guy fapping to loli art or something.

>>7820 Projecting or is that actually valid concerns? >>7819 Sonic Infinity was canceled? Why and how? I though he said it was meant to be a engine, not a full game.

>>7821 >Projecting or is that actually valid concerns? Well, aside from the fact that loli is actually illegal in Canada, tumblr types love to demonize loli, and I don't know if the rest of the World development team are like that or not.

>>7822 Also, to add on to this, it seems a bit fishy to me that they have a new project of their own up and ready to shill, right at the moment they decide to disassociate with World and delete everything related to it from their own discord.

>>7823 Well, imo, the exact same shit happened with Project M for Smash Bros Brawl, they gone and made ICON, and use the "illegal activities" card just the same way, with nothing to do with porno or some shit like that. If anything, they are likely trying to make their own Sonic IP and don't want to be linked back to it and move on.

>>7824 Here's the thing, though. ICON wasn't immediately a thing for them to promote while killing their old project, and the "illegal activities" thing was just legal threats from Nintendo. For Sonic World, we have a single guy supposedly doing bad things, which isn't elaborated upon, the rest of the team seemingly unable to separate the author from his/her work, and outright deleting everything about it that they can, while already having a new project in the works, meaning this project has been stewing around for a while.

>>7817 >go on site to grab everything before it's gone >find this on the stage mods section Ah yes, the good ol' "it's not my incompetence, your computer is just shit" excuse.

>>7821 To sum it up, apparently Oban & his friends raided the discord server of a 12 year old kid, people found out & gave him shit, he got upset & may have cancelled Sonic Infinity. That being said, he could always go back on cancelling it. Not to mention, Sonic World being taken to Unity was something mentioned months ago & the Sonic Omniverse thing is being done on Unity, IIRC. Chances are, them leaving the project to do their own thing is something that's been in the works for a while.

>>7827 Fucked that post up lemme go over that again: Sonic World on Unity without oz was something that I think was mentioned months ago & this project is also being done on Unity. Chances are, them leaving oz behind was gonna happen for a while before he had this meltdown. And if what I heard about it is true, he's in some serious shit

>>7827 >To sum it up, apparently Oban & his friends raided the discord server of a 12 year old kid, people found out & gave him shit, he got upset & may have cancelled Sonic Infinity. So is that why he made that quote about "He's not even a Sonic fan"? Really now, how childish. People getting triggered over stupid shit like that is just pathetic. If devs just stayed as devs, instread of mixing dev life with social life, you wouldn't have to feel like quiting on something over the sake of your feelings and just like, make game. Cough, Lange, Cough Devs alike, just make the fucking game you are working on and stop bitching. There's no room for emotions in the line of game design.

>>7830 What broke it?

>>7830 Hmm, speaking of, how is 4/sthg/ doing lately? I haven't been there since, like, last month I guess? It feels like it's been longer than that personally.

>>7832 Not him, but I checked in a day or so ago. Doesn't really seem much better, but looks like it is a bit slower now. I haven't really posted there in a couple months now. Kinda happy I did as I really stopped having a good time there.

>>7829 I suppose. Honestly as shitty as it was to raid a child's server, him getting angry over it just made matters worse. Also, Lange apparently gave an update on Utopia so it seems like that's still being worked on.

>>7831 Shitposters, originally.

>>7834 > Lange apparently gave an update on Utopia so it seems like that's still being worked POST SOURCES

>>7836 Boom: https://twitter.com/GreatLange/status/1053799194622717952

>>7837 Interesting. As much as I honestly liked Utopia as it was gameplay wise, if they really needed to think ahead and make sure making a game wasn't going to be a hassle of optimization the workflow, as long as it truly pays off, I commend them. As someone that learned the trials and errors of programing games back in the 2000s, yeah it can be a bitch making something that if it takes too long, you run into the issues of "new code > old code" and "old code /= compatible with new code". Knowing ahead is good, it's likely something most AAA devs have to do, like Smash Bros likely is designed with this in mind.

https://youtu.be/kId09JjAJrk >>7838 I'm pretty intrigued by what they're gonna do with this going forward. The next update especially is gonna be something to look forward to. Also, this video

I've just came back to /fast/ and the fandom overall after months of absence, but now I've just seen sonic world is dead. I'm a little sad now.

>>7840 Don't feel sad anon, Sonic Omniverse is basically gonna pick up where Sonic World left off. And there's Sonic Islands, which is pretty cool

>>7840 Welcome back then!

>>7839 Oof. I can tell some people didn't take it too nicely… What sucks is how much that game looked like Forces done right, and with how he just goes "fuck you all",it only makes Sonic Team look better.

>>7841 >>7842 Welp, I guess that's cool. Also an update on my genesis expedition with my friend and that fucking rabbit has gone quite well now. We plan on starting a collection slowley. I believe we now have Spinball, Boogerman, cyborg justice, the ooze, ms pacman, contra hard corps, beavis and butthead, and ballz. He also for some reason purchased a mini sonic pinball machine

>>7844 Hey, that's pretty cool anon. Good luck on your expedition & enjoy yourself. Remember Genesis does what Nintendon't!

>>7817 I literally only had fun with Sonic World if I was roleplaying with a special friend while using it. The game itself was trash and the alt models flawed as fuck. Hopefully we get something not developed by teenagers

>>7817 It was janky as fuck but I loved it. Hopefully Omniverse carries it on but I don't know anything about it.

>>7849 Well, Omniverse is seemingly gonna be Sonic World sans Oz & on Unity as opposed to being on blitz3D like World was. Also for anyone wondering what "illegal activities" transpired that lead to Oz being left behind, it seems like he might've threatened to rape his roommate in a Discord channel. Supposedly, authorities are involved so it's pretty serious.

>>7850 >blitz3d Is that better than Unity? >roommate Female?

>>7851 Dunno about gender of the roommate, but in regards to blitz3D, it's basically a kinda old engine people used to make 3D Sonic fangames back in the late 2000s-early 2010s. A lot of the projects done on it (like World) were pretty damn janky & Unity will likely be an improvement over it, if done right.

>>7844 The pinball thing looks pretty neat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhHbpTNVqF4 Does this sound like Starlight Zone to anyone else at the start?

>>7854 100% does.

>>7854 >>7855 Not 100 percent, but the beginning is literally ripped, and the tempo is referenced.

Speaking of music, who do you guys want to compose the music for the next Sonic game?

>>7857 Not whoever did Colors, Lost World, and Forces.

>>7854 >This video is not available God dammit.

>>7817 Man, I literally just thought about this about two or three days ago after forgetting about it for at least a year or two and downloaded the latest version. I didn't know this Blitz3D. >>7826 LOL. Last version I played of this was R6 and that had a lot of weird artifacts and shit, especially in the sky. Just tried R8 on an i7-5820K and GTX 980 and it still has weird artifacts and shit. >>7851 >>7852 Blitz3D is ancient. I am pretty sure it predates Unity or at least the Blitz language does. I was surprised to find out Sonic World was made in Blitz3D because even with all the weird visual artifacts and stuff I think it looks good for a Blitz3D game, though it may be because I always associate Blitz3D with MDickie games because I think that it is his engine of choice.

IDW preview up

>>7863 That's all for now. Issue 10's dropping next week, on Halloween night!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgCcvKaAAeg >>7827 >>7819 So, about that… But for real though, he should get his act together. Stop with the childish pissy attitude and be professional and finish your homework. You'd think people would think about making a better example at making Sonic games than Sonic Team right now if you felt like proving something instead of making fans look worse then that already are. Just ignore the shitposters and move on. This is just me being rational, and it's not just about Oban, for every Sonic fan dev, every dev period. Be professional. Get shit done.

Anyone got that picture of Katella telling Sonic Eggman is a great lay?

>>7864 Having your face dragged on the ground has to suck.

Why is a 30 year old comic from England the only medium to have amy do badass shit

>>7867 Yeah, but Sonic's been through worse. Poor Knuckles, tho.

>>7868 Because SEGA doesn't want Amy to be like that.

>>7870 Not him, yet talking to him as well, why is Sonic X disregarded? Ok, you don't like her character, but she made countless points to prove how she kicks ass countless times, even Sonic pointed this out. And that's Sonic Team's creation. Japan just likes her being more kawaii desu than you lot prefer, but listen to her Japanese voice and it's obvious. I wouldn't mind it myself if they just let her do what she did in Sonic X, just tone down the Sakura from Naruto attitude that people seem to hate and amp up the kicking ass part, and I'd be sure people should like that right? I mean, this is why people defend Boom Amy, too bad she's more of a Nagging Cunt more than codependent fighter there for my likely, but still, there's more than one source where she's not just Princess Peach (which was only in CD this was the cause fam)

>>7871 She was pretty Princess Peach in Adventure 2, as well.

>>7872 Not exactly, she never need to be rescued or anything, she just had once gotten a GUN to her head, which in the case of not fucking up the mission, they didn't make her use her hammer. If anything, 2 examples out of what, 10+ games and other medias?

>>7873 >she never needed to be rescued or anything The entire setup to Sonic's "death" is Amy getting held hostage by Eggman and needing to get saved.

>>7874 You do know Tails was there, right? They let Sonic get to Eggman as part of their plan to trick Eggman with the fake Emerald. You see Tails knod to Sonic himself when he gets there. And honestly, SA2 is a shit example because it's a shitty Shonen ripoff. It shouldn't count since the rest of the series don't reflect the same behaviors with any of the characters anymore.

i like sonic

>>7871 And to use some more recent examples, I think IDW #2 did a nice job showing Amy being able to handle herself, as well. >>7876 Sonic's a nice dude

So, uh, apparently CWC is claiming our universe is about to merge with one that contains every fictional character ever, and he's the chosen one. I think he's somehow absorbed Sparky's autism into himself.

>>7870 I really believe so, which is a shame, a cool amy would make almost every other female character have to step up their game. >>7871 > but she made countless points to prove how she kicks ass countless times while obsessing over sonic and always having the kawaii desu~ garbage to make it look lame and uncool. inb4 she cant be feminine? REEEE. no you faggot, being feminine =/= being an annoying anime stereotype that looks bad on mickey mouse toons and pretty much everything in general. >Japan just likes her being more kawaii desu than you lot prefer, but listen to her Japanese voice and it's obvious. which is funny cause most of sonic's fanbase is outside of japan so it's almost like their opinion is worthless

>>7878 god I wish. How could would it be if Sonic's world merged with ours. We could live Sonic Adventure but for real

Sonic X Amy wasn't interesting, she revolved too much around Sonic. I'm tired of people pointing out b-b-but amy's whole character, NO NIGGA, tails is the "sidekick" and knuckles/shadow "the rival" but their whole character and story arcs don't revolve around that. it's almost like amy gets the worst treatment out of any of the original characters and no one fucking cares

>>7878 CWC? Is that Chris Chan? If so I mean, he IS Chris-chan, Sonic X plots would be up his alley.

>>7879 >being feminine =/= being an annoying anime Well, faggot, that's Japan's problem. Not mine, I didn't even agree to it, I just state facts. And fact is, your absession over this topic for what, 2 months now? It's tirering to me. >which is funny cause most of sonic's fanbase is outside of japan so it's almost like their opinion is worthless Again, not my problem, go bitch at SEGA and force them to rebrand Sonic to Europe or America. And honestly, after what the Britbongs did to Mania PC, I decline that statement and rather have America have Sonic, but, alas, that's out of my hand. But go ahead, you make the change you want to see for your pink rat.

>>7883 bitch i haven't even brought this up in a fucking month because it bored ME at a point. there's no obsession there's nothing to fucking talk about in this dry ass franchise, stop fucking whining about it like you lot of autists make better discussions. oh wait you fucking dont. >not my problem then don't reply to the discussion like you give a fuck nigger

>>7880 Yeah, but he's saying everything, including all the autistic OC shit produced by everyone ever. Imagine having to live in a world where all the coldsteels ever made exist.

https://youtu.be/DgCcvKaAAeg Can we not do this here? Also, oban posted this

>>7876 I wish Sonic was real.

we hit 300 posts. when's the new bread

>>7896 SOON But I suppose we can do it when this thread starts sliding off

>>7895 don't you know it's baaaAAAd to talk about how much i don't like -this particular character- because anon has fantasies about fucking amy rose and thinks i have their sick attraction to cartoon animals because i like them too :( poor anon

>>7896 >>7897 We might as well just say something around ~325, that's when people just up and make a new thread so just say/make one at 325.

>>7897 this thread's not going very well

>>7885 But would Bump exist too?

>>7905 Yes. I watched the video and he said all OCs would be real.

>>7906 I am okay with it then. Dibs on the deer.

>>7906 Does this mean Old Man Sonic will be canon?

>>7908 All Sonics will be canon.

>>7909 So Sonic Forever? Better scenario than the movie will be.

>>7901 Honestly, we're getting pretty tired of your shit a this point. Next time we have to ban you it's gonna be for a long time, so please try to behave. Thanks.

>>7911 >>7911 Somewhere atm Am I supposed to be ok with vendettafags playing gotcha with me. You know how fucking annoying it is?????
