>>9196 Fast

slow

Christmas is a-coming, is there anything holiday & Sonic-related you folks are planning on doing? >>9198 >filename He think he slick

>>9201 I'll likely draw Christmas Sonic girls.

>>9199 This style reminds me of another artist, just not as good as this one. Diives is it? Or it was someone else.

>>9201 Can't really think of anything Sonic related I could do for Christmas.

>>9200 Do you think we disappoint Sonic for being so slow?

>>9205 Sonic knows that sometimes being slow & easy is cool. >>9204 You could do what I do & watch some Sonic holiday stuff

Why does Sonic nap so much?

>>9207 Running around can wear a hedgehog out. At least he's not drinking

fa– >>9198 dammit

>>9208 Drunk Sonic would be fun to see. I wonder if he'd make any bad decisions.

>>9209 Dancing on them slowpokes

>>9202 Which ones?

>>9212 Which ones would you want to see?

>>9201 I might hunt for Christmas Sonic pics on the net. Does that count?

>>9211 No bully!

>>9211 Sonic dance game when?

>>9210 I picture Sonic would be either an emotional drunk, or he'd just run around crashing into shit. >>9214 Yes.

>>9217 Sonic causes enough property damage when he's alert, imagine how much worse it'd be if he drank.

>>9208 Would Sonic take a lot of alcohol to get drunk or would he get drunk easily?

>>9219 He's pretty small, so I assume he'd get drunk quick. The better question is how long it would last, does his body also get rid of it fast?

>>9213 Amy, Bunnie, Sticks, Rouge

>>9220 It would probably last an hour or two & Sonic's friends would find him passed out. >>9216 A Sonic rhythm game would be pretty awesome, not gonna lie.

>>9222 Truly passed out naked.

>>9223 With even his sneakers off?

>>9224 and no gloves

I want an Infinite plush. I want merchandise of characters that aren't the main 5

>>9228 How much would you pay for one?

>>9228 Same. Hoping for GE to pull through with one someday. Also, wonder if he'd have his mask or not if they made one.

How much Sonic stuff do you have lying around your bedroom and am I the only one that has a Sonic bed cover on his bed?

>>9229 I don't know. I guess it depends on how good it looks and what material uses but maybe $15-$40 >>9233 I have a Sonic plush on my chair, Sonic/Eggman figures on my desk, and some other figures in a cabinet near my tv

>>9228 >the main 5 Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and… wait! Who would be the 5th? Shadow? he doesn't appear much in games. Super Sonic? OH WAIT! It has to be tommie teh tortle

>>9235 >Tommy

What's for break/fast/? or was?

>>9241 Scrambled Egg(man)s with cheese.

>>9241 I actually had to /fast/ because I needed to get some blood tests done. Now my stomach won't settle down.

>>9243 Oof. How you holding up?

We should do some kind of Sonic-related Secret Santa or general Christmas/holiday event

>>9245 Sounds cool, but what do ya wanna do?

>people are talking about Sonic on /co/ because of a sprite comic thread I'm happy but I also feel like we're the relic of the 90s and 2000s.

>>9247 It's kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, Sonic brings up a lot of memories for a lot of people (whether it's from the games, comics, cartoons, or even old fanworks like sprite comics) but on the other hand, the franchise has kind of felt like it's been in a holding pattern for most of the 2010s that it feels like the franchise hasn't really moved forward. It's not something that the series can't escape, but Sonic needs the proper people working on the games to help it escape said holding pattern.

>>9247 that's because Sonic is. The highest rated Sonic game in 25 years was Mania Plus which looks like something straight out of the 90s. The second highest rated game was one of the CD ports I think. After that it was SA2. Then probably the dreamcast version of SA, Rush, and Advance 1. Maybe Colors is up there somewhere. Most of the games this decade have all been forgettable, mediocre, or spinoffs/mobile games. Sonic has not been doing great.

>>9246 I have no idea

>>9251 Well, we could make Sonic-related Christmas stuff. I already plan on playing the AoSTH Christmas special in the cytube on the 25th. >>9250 Nice

What would Sonic like for Christmas?

>>9196 So, I can no longer contain my autism. How do I get into sanig?

>>9254 For the games: Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Mania, Sonic Advance, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Unleashed & Sonic Generations are the games I'd recommend. Out of curiosity though, what's made you interested in Sonic?

>>9255 Should also note: If you're gonna play Sonic Adventure, make sure it's the original Dreamcast version, as opposed to "Sonic Adventure DX"

>>9255 >>9256 WRONG. Do not listen to this anon. The Steam release has BetterSADX and the Dreamcast Conversion mod, both of which make it superior to the Dreamcast release.

>>9257 Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Disregard the part about Adventure, I suck cocks. Do what this anon said

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR_ox3mzgIo Lotta Bumblekast tidbits: >Ian's favorite mode in Sonic Mania Plus is Encore Mode. Favorite character to play is Mighty for running straight you and Knuckles/Tails for exploration. Wants more original stages in the sequel. >Off-panels are made usually atleast after the story of the issue is figured out. >Ian cannot put sticks in the comic without Sega's permission, but thinks the chances of her being approved is good. >A SonicxPower Rangers crossover would require Boom, IDW, and Hasbro working something together out. >Ian intended for Silver to be a determined fighter who is just a bit of a dork to differentiate him from Shadow who is more grim. >When trying to make a world and it's characters feel more alive, Ian tries to figure out how something works when the main character is not involved, how the world works as an economy, society, ecosystem, and how it and the MC influence each other. Sometimes this is necessary, sometimes not. The first issues of IDW didn't focus on the settings too much since the priority was the introductions of the supporting characters and building up the mystery. The locations were given different layouts and structures to give a sense that they aren't the same and how the people there might live, which can be dug in further later on. A balance has to be struck to avoid a loredump and not giving context for the reader. >Rough and Tumble are inspired by bombastic, 80s cartoon villainy and professional wrestling. They are meant to be dumb and fun mooks to balance out the big bads of the series. >"The Night of the Werehog" short flipped Ian's opinion of the werehog to that it could be a fun idea. He would like to use Lah, Su, and Wu down the line but doesn't know when that would be >Thinks the "six months of torture" in the English localization of Sonic Forces is OOC for Eggman, who he believes would be far more bombastic and all or nothing like jettisoning him into space and summoning a sun to nuke the Resistance instead of simpling breaking his legs. >Created Whisper to add an atypical female character who had a more neutered presence to contrast with the other girls. Thought the Wispon weapon would get more flak from Sega but they actually offered ideas to add to it. Whisper's final design was handpicked bit by bit by Sega. Ian hopes they can release all the variants and concepts that Evan Stanley did for her down the line. >Sega offered an idea for the end of the story arc that made Ian go "Since when could he do that? No, what if we did it this way?" and that's what went to print. Usually there is no back and forth between Sega and Ian, just following what they say to do. >Ian has met Iizuka and the whole of Sonic Team USA. He pitched Year one to Iizuka in person. Met Toby Fox years ago in Toronto where he told him of his idea for the game Undertale. Toby offered an early beta copy of Undertale to Ian to test but he declined because he didn't think he could give good feedback because of his bad computer

>>9259 >Ian met and pitched comic stuff to Iizuka Seems like not long ago back at Archie he had said Iizuka probably had no idea who he was. Neat to see him get to meet him and do that.

>>9260 True. I suppose one positive of SEGA having a closer eye on the comic than ever before is that the people working on it can probably meet & talk with the Sonic Team folks like Iizuka.

>>9259 >Sega offered an idea for the end of the story arc that made Ian go "Since when could he do that? No, what if we did it this way?" and that's what went to print. Usually there is no back and forth between Sega and Ian, just following what they say to do. By he do they mean Sonic? Or Metal? Either way, I honestly don't like how SEGA seems to be out of touch with said character whoever he was referring too, considering how weird things have gotten characterization wise with Sonic nowadays.

>>9259 >>"The Night of the Werehog" short flipped Ian's opinion of the werehog to that it could be a fun idea. He would like to use Lah, Su, and Wu down the line but doesn't know when that would be Hell yeah, that would be fun. Shame we would probably have to wait another year for that though.

I'm sorry, someone posted this in /v/, and I just had to share.

>>9264 oh.

>>9264 If you meant half channel's /v/, you need to go back. God I wished they just turn that trash heap into a red board, no one talks about games there anymore.

>>9266 No, I meant our /v/.

>>9267 So why is our /v/ a red board? That just makes me even more mad hiro doesn't fixes his site's shit in, and every time I get bored and look for Sonic threads on half chan I have to see nasty red board shit. Also I think this board isn't a red board thou so be wary.

>>9269 Yeah, /fast/ is a blue board with a non-NSFW rule. Pressing F for anon

>>9269 >So why is our /v/ a red board? Because Mark understands the whole "safe for work" thing is bullshit, and that content shouldn't be limited just because some people might find it icky, so only asks that nsfw pictures be spoilered, kept on topic, and that no one starts a porn dump. >>9270 I was only dead for half an hour. It did delay me from sleeping by half an hour, though. Now it's bedtime.

>>9271 It'd be nice if /fast/ followed that principle. In fact, it used to.

TSR IDW comic preview

>>9276 >Hohohoho Geez, I wonder who this mysterious fellow could be?…

>>9276 What's with the random black line things?

>>9276 >focus on team dark and sonic again Man this is so fucking boring

>>9276 It’s kinda weird they didn’t push this back further to coincide with TSR’s new release date.

>>9280 Eh, I'm not complaining. At least it's something.

https://youtu.be/Xu58xH6Qylk

>>9276 Bless ABT. Love that 2nd to last panel.

>>9280 I guess they're doing it to keep TSR in people's minds, given the delay that happened.

>>9276 >mfw I found time to read this at work But the writing… It sucks so much. I read all the preview in Iizuka's voice. I realize this is a companion comic to the game or something like that, but is this the best they could think to do?

>>9283 I love learning about cut content in games.

>>9288 Same. Really makes me wonder how Forces would've turned out if they actually finished the game, since it seems like a lot of content was cut from it. >>9287 Yeah, the writing's not blowing me away either. I think they're trying to make it more like the games, but it's just very lackluster to me. At least ABT's art is really good.

>>9289 Forces felt like a rush job. I'd love to know how development actually went because I have to think there were problems.

>>9290 We've only gotten little bits & pieces (like Green Hill originally being much darker, more species for Create a Character, Infinite in Null Space, etc.) but yeah, I'd love to know more about it. There's probably a ton of cut content that we don't even know about.

Oh shit, found these in the booru.

>>9283 There was going to be a 4kids styled narrator in this game? God I think this must be the most rushed Sonic game next to 06…

>>9292 I honestly think these are nice redesigns of these two.

>>9292 Oh crap I never knew how much I needed this. Help

>Non-sexualized hourglass figure I love this

>>9292 Look pretty damn cool. Battle has a pretty neat art style.

>>9298 A: But that's Rouge's design since SA2/Sonic X B: How is that not a sexy body there, she's just in a Velma sweater.

>>9301 I think it's because Rouge's cuteness is more emphasized in the pic than her sexiness or slyness, like most of her fanart.

http://www.sonichacking.org/entry/73 Has hacking gone too far?

>>9303 Is this good?

Cursed images >>9306 That's actually a pretty great Rouge, yeah. Isn't the person who made this model like, 15 or something?

>>9308 Yeah, something like that. Very talented kid.

>>9309 He also made this too.

>>9310 Damn, pretty good. The dude has some real talent, despite his young age.

This is Bump the Deer. Say something nice to her!

>>9314 She's cute, has a lot of nice artwork & has very lovely bumps!

>>9314 She's cool, but my friend and I like Sage more

>>9317 kek

>>9317 Sonic would feel a lot more at home browsing Rattit.

>>9321 >spoiler

Man, I can't believe this one mod for SADX actually makes me want to play SA1 now. I honestly though the gameplay of SA1 was worse than SA2, but it just looks more polished to me or something. Maybe after playing if I can be sure, but other than the stickiness to walls thing, it honestly just seems like the best 3D Sonic done by SEGA i've ever really seen.

>>9323 Adventure 1 was honestly one of the better attempts at 3D Sonic done by SEGA, despite the issues it had. Adventure 2 had some good stuff in the Sonic/Shadow stages, but I felt like SA1 was just missing some polish (& fixing that damn wall stickiness glitch) to be close to perfect.

>>9325 At this point if I could get a SA2 stage mod for SA1, I'd play SA1 over it (again, assuming I do feel like SA1 has better controls from my perspective.) Or something better like more open level design without dashpads and automatic loops everywhere, that's really all I want.

Yo

>>9327 Sup >>9326 I know there's some SA1 stage mods for SA2, but I'd be surprised if there hasn't been any attempts at the vice-versa.

>>9327 Hi, anon.

drew monica and migu from the sonic manga today, they're just too cute!

>>9330 Nice. Never read the Sonic manga, I should probably change that.

>>9330 Never heard of them, but they look cool nonetheless.

Remember the stream?

What are your hopes for the new Sonic cartoon? Not what you expect to happen, just want you really want to happen.

>>9309 Very talented, and very hormonal.

>>9335 Bless ABT >>9336 After Mania Adventures & Boom, I'm kinda craving for something more Modern, but regardless of what Sonic they use I hope we get something more acting/adventure-based this time around. Also, weren't we supposed to get an announcement of some sorts next month?

>>9339 >acting action*

>>9336 Like, ideally I'd like a Modern Sonic cartoon that has good writing and character focus, but I dread to think of all the ways this could backfire. Wasn't the new cartoon rumor started by a post from someone in the Mania Adventures team? In that case we should probably expect the cartoon to at least be from the Classic series, right?

>>9341 I wouldn't be surprised if it was more Classic cartoons. I'm curious as to how they would do it, though.

>>9336 Having it focus on Modern Sonic would be nice since we already got Mania Adventures and the Boom cartoon so recently. It would also be a nice change of pace if it was action/adventure/plot oriented instead of slice of life like Boom or nothing but slapstick and jokes like Mania.Having no memes would also be great since they immediately date themselves. I know it won't happen but it would be amazing if the cartoon was legit 8+/10 good and something that would become a classic and not just "good" because better than Sonic X, Sonic Underground, etc.

>>9343 I don't think you're going to get a 8/10 good cartoon in this day in age of American media, I honest to god think that's not happen until Sonic' main media market "video games" gets proper quality control. People know Sonic as a video game mascot, having shit games ruins all of Sonic's medias mentally in the public eye of the 21 centery. Back in the 90s, no one knew any better as kids and as adults, parents just knew "kids like Sonic" and despite the quality control of the cartoons/comics, kids like the games because they were good. Ever since 06, no one is going to take Sonic seriously until his games get better. I mean, considering how people did like Boom, only for it to get destroyed thanks to its game conterpart's quality control. If Sonic's main target gets better, even something like Sonic X 2.0 would actually work because he has games backing it up.

>>9344 And I meant to add, American culture is garage right now, so that's another reason why a good cartoon for Americans is near impossible to get happening. Hell Boom was made by the French really, and only stood up on its feet thanks to meme humor.

>>9336 No more action-comedy. I'm sick and tired of Boom aka Sonic the Sitcom. All I want is a character-focused action show. Nuanced character writing, pacing that isn't a million miles a minute, and bringing some fucking emotion back into this franchise.

>>9346 Good luck with that in this day and age! It's never the right people in positions.

New IDW issue out, should I post it here or make a thread for it?

>>9349 Fuck it, storytime here: >>9350

>>9377 Sonic!

>>9377 It's totally Scourge!

>>9377 one of aaron's dumb meme ocs

>>9377 IT'S SONICHU!

>>9348 The question was not what we expected, it's what we wanted. I don't give a shit. Fuck Modern American cartoons.

>>9351 That was pretty interaining for me, thanks anon. Seeing all those characters cooperating in battle makes me wish we could get that fully animated in games, but alas, that's not so easy to do anymore apparently. Either way, thanks for sharing anon. I really did like Rouge in this, I wish she was more like this in the games, kinda reminds me of her SA2 self again.

>>9384 You're welcome, anon. And yeah, Rouge was portrayed pretty well here & I liked her using her bombs again after all this time. IDWSonic has its flaws, but the comic has been pretty fun so far. Kinda hoping we get a Universe-style comic in Year 2

>>9351 This issue had too many good Knuckles faces.

>>9392 >third one's filename

>>9384 Someone made a bigger version on the booru

>>9392 Stanley sure knows how to draw a good Knuckles. >filename Pfft, brilliant

>>9393 Damn, that picture makes me want to bully that Sonic super bad.

>>9396 You should always want to bully any Sonic.

I found one of those big mid 2000s Sonic plushies on ebay. It's 3 ft tall which is almost life size. I really want to buy it but I have no place for it and the people I live with might think it's weird. Should I do it? Should I make a really bad financial and social decision today, /fast/?

>>9233 One classic Eggman, one modern Eggman, and Sonic I won at a carnival. The Sonic feels like he's stuffed with solid styrofoam instead of stuffing. The modern Eggman can actually both dab and do the think emoji face.

>>9398 >Should I do it? Probably. Which one of them is it? There are a few plushies matching that description.

>>9398 They can have their own opinions on the plush, but if you don't have enough space for it you shouldn't get it. unless you can hide it under your bed, and you have enough sheckles

>>9398 >Should I do it? I need to see a pic of it. You shouldn't want to get a bad quality plushie, even if it's life-sized.

>>9398 If you're a girl, it literally doesn't matter. No one cares when a girl does it. If you're already balls deep in Sonic merch, why should it matter regardless of gender at that point?

>>9400 >>9402 It's this one. The pictures on the listing aren't very good. The face looks kind of weird but owning such a large plush is kind of novel. But if it's not a good plush, I guess it's not really worth it

>>9404 Damn, that's a big Sonic. On one hand, I would definitely get a plushie that size, but yeah, it has to be in good quality. I suggest getting it & you can just sell it if you don't like it.

>>9404 I have the bigger 5ft version of him. The fabric is good in my opinion. It's probably not as good as the fabric in expensive plushies from renowned brands, but I like the one in mine. The problem with these plushies is that they were carnival prices in their day so they will come stuffed with styrofoam, which is awful. It's hard and not cuddly at all, so you should keep in mind you might need to open him up and stuff him back up with polyester filling, and the styrofoam makes a huge mess.

>>9406 did you restuff yours?

>>9407 I most definitely did. That was a huge mess, but it was completely worth it.

>>9257 >>9258 >>9256 >>9255 Thanks! >what's made you interested in Sonic? I think I played either the first or second one on a SEGA Game Gear and had fun, but of course, being a young kid, I gave it away to some asshole I didn't even like all that much. Anyway, that was just my first encounter with Sonic. By the time I began using the Internet, I became more exposed to it; I always kind of liked the designs, and the jokes back on 4chan before the exoduses were always funny. I somewhat recently began looking into it more (Sonic Boom also helped), and the bits of lore I could pick up seemed interesting. Also, from what I know of Shadow, he seems interesting, and the "edge"that term is extremely overused/normalfag-tier now, hence the quotes…it's hard to explain, but I kind of like it in a way, (at this point, referring to the intro to his game) I think because it's so over the top it's almost satirical, so it's hard to take seriously and you just laugh or smile. Despite that, his backstory, despite being maybe cliched a bit (at least from what I know), is interesting, especially given the preestablished world it's in. In short, I guess I was always somewhat interested, as with Touhou, among other things.

>>9416 >gave it away to some asshole Sucks man, the dude probably doesn't even have it still

>>9416 >another shadowfag is born It is a good day.

>>9418 Can you elaborate as to why that's a good thing, please?

>>9416 Well hey, hope you enjoy the games you play anon & welcome aboard!

https://youtu.be/2ypxaNjbeXU I hope they do a remix of wave ocean the inlet.

Sonic Unleashed is finally Backwards Comparability on XBone!

>>9426 Oh shit, sweet.

What if characters had more alternate forms?

This is supposed to be released on December 1st: https://www.target.com/p/sonic-the-hedgehog-presents-knuckles-the-echidna-archives-6-paperback/-/A-53998072 which is weird since Sega is supposed to be severing all ties with Archie. What are the chances it gets cancelled at the last minute? Did anyone here preorder this?

>>9429 No chance. If reboot Archie Sonic can’t get any trades, pre-reboot Penders stuff can’t either. Likely what happened is that when it was initially delayed, the system pushed it forward to a placeholder date, but was never removed from the system proper once cancelled.

>>9426 This is great and really unexpected given how they're not really making money off of this. You can't download Unleashed and the only way to buy it is used on a disc, I think. They're not profiting off of those. I really hope this means they're starting to care more about the past games or something or maybe even gauging interest for a PC port.

>>9426 Don’t have a Xbone, but that’s really cool to hear. I wonder if it runs better like some other games that got BC. Regardless, I still want a PC port.

>>9432 some people are saying the daytime levels and hub worlds are running more smoothly but I saw some footage of jungle joyride and it still looked laggy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DISUjow3d1M I can never get this dumb tune out of my head.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxK42XHvWnU >>9434 My favorite song from Unleashed is the Mazuri night hub theme. It gives me such a calm feeling.

Is it me, or is Forces not really edgy? Like, at all? Like ok it has a couple "WAAARRR" lines in it, but it's still really bubbly and Sonic still never takes anything seriously and Infinite's dialogue is laughably cartoony. I've always wanted a bit of drama, darkness and emotion to come back to this franchise, but this is NOT the way to do it.

>Is it me, or is Forces not really edgy? Like, at all? You are the exact opposite of fast.

>>9436 It's tryhard egdy. It's not serious in itself, it's trying to look badass but it's as parody writing as it was since Colors. To be edgy is to take Shadow's story and treat it as important to Sonic's series. And Sonic doesn't need killings or melodrama just to be taking serious. Most people don't even take those two things seriously anymore because of how overly triggered people are in todays world in the first place. This is kinda why Sonic is just like Calarts animation shows on CN are humor wise, because no one seriously take anyone seriously anymore, despite wanting to be taking seriously. Once people stop getting sensitive over everything, things will likely improve.

>>9435 The intro reminds me of an Age of Empires I tune.

>>9436 There's some edgy and dark things in there, but there's no reason to really give a fuck about it. Remember when like a fuck ton of resistance forces got killed on a botched plan and you never saw any of it, just told on the radio? Or that time Infinite wiped out a bunch of random nobodies in a cutscene? Or Sonic supposedly getting tortured, yet is still the happy-go-lucky rat we all know? It's there, but it leaves no impact at all or worse it makes you laugh likes the Knuckles line about war.

>>9441 Not him but I said that same thing before. Also, nice taste anon.

>remember they removed Denuvo from Shenmue >go check if they removed it from Mania >nope I don't know why I try.

>>9445 I've been meaning to give it a replay for a while. I have a ton of fond memories with it.

>>9418 Why do you like Shadow, anon?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NcAkgXQrNI Why was this never in any Sonic games? It was used in the trailer for SAdv2, but not used anywhere else.

Finally updated the IDW Sonic Mega folder to include issues #10 and #11. #10: https://mega.nz/#!C5wxkAJL!33JS5mOYjoJdhQOBA7tKthSY8LltxBa0YysvsdACjsk #11: https://mega.nz/#!blgzVQAT!ut9o7AlmfrDGNLm5wh1P36Jw_qf_IWebf_UFjBxqiTc Folder: https://mega.nz/#F!65oBCaoQ!8lkn8JebzaZensDJbLxDeg

>>9452 maybe they thought it was too peaceful to use as a level theme

>>9455 Meh, I think it's good because of that.

>>9457 me too. It's my favorite song from that game

Does Sonic ever really act like a 15 year old?

>>9459 oh noes the rose is shocked!

>>9460 Like a Shonen archtype in the Japanese voice, or somewhat in the Adventure/Pre Colors Era.

today is the final day of November which means Aaron is supposed to post a hint about December's announcement today. Or he already posted something that's supposed to be a hint but no one figured it out yet or noticed. What do you think the announcement is going to be?

Has anyone seen the Silver in stores? It says it's supposed to be released in August but I haven't seen them yet and they've only been online for marked up prices.

>>9464 Where does Sonic merchandise usually even get sold? I've never seen any plushies/figures for sale at Target or Walmart, ever

>>9465 Britfag here, I see most of it in comic shops and the like. There was a few plushies and Boom figures when I went there last week. I feel like a lot of it is online at Amazon and what have you.

>>9463 I haven't really been following the clues honestly. I'm guessing if it's not game related it's probably not movie related either. It might have to do with that animation project that was kind of leaked a while ago, since that sounds like something he might have a closer involvement in.

>>9463 What are the clues they’ve given so far?

>>9469 Silver is soooo slooooow.

Silver is a character with more potential and worth to this franchise in both lore and gameplay than Rouge, Cream, Big and even Sticks. Change my mind.

>Silver is a character with more potential and worth to this franchise in both lore >Lore >Muh bad future but with Final Fantasy graphics No >and gameplay than Rouge, Cream, Big and even Sticks. Other than Rouge, yes.

>>9471 Silver's entire existence is kinda dumb because his time travel seemingly has no limits, so I don't understand why he can't go back and prevent shit from going down before it does.

It's Eggman month next month.

>>9472 >Muh bad future but with Final Fantasy graphics Visuals =/= story >Other than Rouge, yes. Rouge is just a Knuckles clone. Silver actually brings something unique to the table. >>9473 I will admit that yes, the way his time travel is treated is fucking retarded. I would like him to have his own game set entirely in the future, ala Metal Gear Rising.

>>9475 I don't think any character is popular enough now to get a spin-off game. Nor do I see that changing in the future, sadly.

>>9468 besides the initial clue of something happening in December, there's nothing that's been posted since that stands out as a potential clue so I have no idea. However unlike every other month this year, there was only one single Mania related tweet (besides the black friday sale) so I'm guessing the announcement has something to do with that, probably more Mania Adventures or another series based on Mania

>>9475 >Visuals =/= story You fail to understand what I meant. I didn't mention FF just for graphics, anon. Tell me why does FF story telling fit in a world with animals going fast and stopping Eggman from mechanizing them. >Rouge is just a Knuckles clone. So is Shadow to Sonic. Yet many people seem to like him despite that. Physic powers isn't special when hedgehogs can go saiyan and Cats have pyrokinesis. Basically, I'm not seeing what's the big deal here. He's not as useless as Big, but that's saying much when Sonic is the only character that seems to matter at the end of the day.

>>9477 >Choose your fighter >Sonic, Tails and Knuckles What if Classic Sonic Team in TSR

>>9478 >FF story telling >character goes back in time from a post-apocalyptic future to stop it from happening What the fuck am I reading? That's juvenile shit that western cartoons and comics have been doing for DECADES. >So is Shadow to Sonic. Your point being? I didn't say she or he weren't worthwhile characters. I just said I think Silver holds more value overall.

>>9480 Yeah, but my point was, no one cares. Or, at least, SEGA doesn't anymore. They did… until 06 flopped hard. Maybe if they want characters to be globally liked, put them in good games. Maybe if fans of said character, like, made games with him instead of Sonic… and just that, maybe daddy SEGA would notice and make something with him. And, on a side note, I'm not even speaking as a fan or non fan of Silver, I'm speaking SEGA and why it doesn't matter unless SEGA does something about it. As the old saying goes; "If SEGA doesn't care, why should we?"

>>9471 The thing that bothers me about Silver is that he's another hedgehog and his name starts with a "S" to fit with Shadow and Silver. I really, really prefer the Venice the Mink prototype beyond anything we got out of him.

>>9481 >As the old saying goes; "If SEGA doesn't care, why should we?" I'm sorry, did we not just have a discussion of "what we want to see in a new Sonic cartoon" instead of what will actually happen? You must live a very depressed and dull life if you don't dream and only focus on realistic expectations. I get so fucking tired of saying "hey this would be cool" only for some jackass to butt in with "yeah but normies and SEGA wouldn't care". That's not why I come here.

>>9479 I hope not. I'm tired of classic sonic being forced into the modern sonic games. Unless it was free DLC. That would be cool then

>>9482 >that gif I bet Shadow likes winter.

>>9484 "what we want to see in a new Sonic cartoon" But that post was like 2 days ago. And it's not even that serious of a question, just a little dream wish question and that's all. You're post goes on about why Silver is useful, and I said "based on what?" Because everything you said is going on in a timeline that only happened if 06 wasn't shit, because in this timeline, Silver's potential is never realize for me to assume he could be a useful character. Everyone can be made good anon, that's not something special. But execution is execution, and since 06, every time Silver shows up, he doesn't make things better, and lore wise, he adds more confusion. SEGA could have made him good, but they still haven't, and convincing me otherwise… is just delusion… I honestly don't understand. If this was more like "I wished SEGA used Silver better" instead of "Silver is good because I think so" then I'd understand…

>>9482 Shadow isn't allowed to say the F word.

>>9488 Maybe his tongue will slip one day.

>>9489 >>9490 SEGA would punish him.

>>9487 >If this was more like "I wished SEGA used Silver better" instead of "Silver is good because I think so" then I'd understand… Except that's exactly what I said. >>9471 >Silver is a character with more potential >potential >potential

>>9488 Why is damn and hell so acceptable but fuck isn't? Because it's related to sex? What about shit? Even Sonic in the Japanese version of Sonic X said it.

>>9492 I guess I misinterpreted it. Disregard.

>>9493 I dunno, maybe. Swear words are weird.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSdn8Ww5QTU >>9501 Embed for easier access

>>9502 Thank you. My brain short circuited and I forgot how to embed.

>>9502 >>9501 I haven't played Forces but judging from those voice lines it sounds overwhelmingly dumb. >Kotaro Nakamura Wait, wasn't someone else selected to play Eggman after Otsuka's death?

>>9504 If that's Jap Eggman's voice, Forces was worked on since Lost World so it's likely clips before he died.

>>9505 >so it's likely clips before he died I mean, after Otsuka's death (Eggman's longstanding VA) I remember an announcement for the new VA that wasn't this Nakamura guy that is mentioned in the video as his current VA.

>>9493 >Even Sonic in the Japanese version of Sonic X said it. That's because the Japanese barely have a concept of swear words, to begin with.

I like how there's more certain types of arguing once some posters I think I recognize from 4/sthg/ came over here.

Shh, it's bed time, and Cosmo's sleeping.

>>9504 Ehh yeah, the plot is pretty stupid. And certain lines in the game have become pretty infamous because of how ridiculous they are.

does this count as a chuckle?

>>9511 That's more of a cackle really.

>>9511 >Knuckles >chuckling

The fuck is this

>>9514 Cute. Why is Knuckles high-fiving a pig?

>>9516 That kind of pig is often associated with wintry conditions, especially in Japan. Just look at Swinub or that one Kirby enemy.

>>9515 Scary robot.

>>9471 I won't try. I agree heavily. The man can beat the snot out of someone without even having to touch them, without even having to pick up a weapon or shout some special attack name like a weeaboo, without even having to do more than lift his hand. The dude can fly and do so almost as fast as Sonic at that. Silver can do cool shit and, if he uses his powers right, could be a tough rival or ally for both Sonic and Shadow. The guy could very well stand firmly in their class and for some reason he just doesn't because SEGA wants to make this guy who can make a giant lump of cars to smash on somebody's face weak for some reason. I really want to see his powers be utilized better. I really want to see him be used better as a character but the sad thing is that was attempted once and only once, never again. It's frustrating because so much lost potential has been thrown to the sidelines. Most of all I want a game starring him. That could be a lot of fun.

Why hasn't no one just made a fan game with Silver? Knuckles, Rouge and even fucking Big got projects made with them.

>>9520 >Rouge and even fucking Big got projects made with them. They did?

>>9517 Oh, I thought it was a bad rendition of Picky.

Post Sonic gifs.

>>9521 I remember this Big in Sonic 1 stages but it played like a fishing mini game where you catch Froggy. You had a 2 player mode where you played as Eggman. As for Rouge, well the game never finished, but ayy, at least someone tried.

So what happened to Aaron:s announcement?

>>9527 I'm calling it now. All it's going to be is the "holiday special" stream announcing the weekly Thursday streams are coming back in January

>>9528 I mean, I don't mind the streams coming back & all, but is that really something worth getting people hyped up for? >>9525 >That Rouge fan-game Oh yeah, I forgot all about that. Wasn't Hotred working on it, or someone else?

>>9528 This is so dumb that I could see it happening. >>9529 No, but they have to make due with what they have available to them and it's probably not a lot at the moment.

Also, >>9527 >still believing meme man's lie

>>9531 I wanted to have faith in mememan, alright?

>>9529 >but is that really something worth getting people hyped up for? no but given that there's nothing else happening with this franchise until May and Aaron is riding that high from getting his meme toaster funded, yes, he thinks the streams are worth hyping up. The hint in the Pumpkin Hill video did say the announcement is a "tiny gift" in December after all, so I think this could be it, unfortunately. A cartoon announcement or something otherwise important would be big.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFol7fuqeKI I still want Unleashed, but the more people mod Generations into Unleashed's prime quality, I feel a little better in myself as time go one.

How would you react if, at the next Sonic con, they announced and showed off Sonic Adventure 3?

>>9535 Depends on what they showed. I just want something that's high quality, don't care what name they put on it.

>>9535 scared. I don't think the current Sonic Team can handle a game that big. It will probably just be Sonic Colors/Forces 2 with the SA3 name slapped on the box. Same 10 second cutscenes that show nothing. Same mostly 2.5D gameplay with blocky level design. Classic Sonic thrown in because why not. Another Nega Wisp reskin as the final boss.

>>9535 I'd be very mad, because I know Kishimoto is making it. Also, it's retarded and wouldn't be as hype inducing if it's not revealed at E3.

>>9538 I thought I already posted this post, stupid 8ch

>>9538 >wouldn't be as hype inducing if it's not revealed at E3. But E3 doesn't matter anymore, anon.

>>9540 Oh yeah, I forgot only Nintendo and M$ is doing E3 anymore… I'm still in the 2000s era, where it was the hypest time to shill shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t2EEeUkQ58 I feel like videos like this makes me realize why I'd feel like making Sonic fan games over Nintendo ones, even if I really like some Nintendo games. Sure, SEGA isn't perfect since they've have C&D'd some IPs of theirs being used in the modding/fangaming scene, but when it comes to their main IP, Sonic, they are basically as good as Value is with that. If more people just had more faith and passion to make their ideas come true, maybe one day you too could be the next Taxman for SEGA, or for other companies you enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aadLYiwMGw No lag during the cutscenes and only some small errors with the Z buffering on the fur textures at times, but this looks really good so far. If the only problem is how Adobat plays framerate wise, a mod should be able to tweak it to make it play better.

>>9544 Damn, I forget just how fast Unleashed is.

>>9544 >Xbone Who the fuck cares?

>>9544 Damn, that looks good.

>>9543 >be the next Taxman Why would anyone want to work on games under Sega now? It's more feasible than ever to make your own IP

>>9549 Because someday the Yakusa part of SEGA will die and someone competent will eventually come. It's literally just a war of attrition, there's no possible way something can stay shit forever based on the Yin Yang effect. And look, to this day not one Mascot clone has ever reached AAA status because no one can touch or dares to touch Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft. SEGA is on pare with Capcom, Namco and somehow out beating Konami, and Ubisoft is the only thing above them. If no indie could touch them, why the fuck would we let 90s greatest Nintendo rival not stay under SEGA's belt? Until they go Konami, there's no logical reason to this.

>>9550 >someday the Yakusa part of SEGA will die That's what you think

>>9552 Whose house did Sonic destroy?

>>9553 It was like that when he got there.

>>9554 That's what they all say.

>>9550 >no logical reason to do this There is and that's to not work under Sega

>>9556 Explain.

based

>>9509 Why is she wearing something so tight to bed

>>9552 I might regret asking this but are there Sonic mods for Fallout?

>>9560 Depends, what Fallout?

>>9560 Not sure. What would Sonic do if a nuclear apocalypse happened?

>>9565 Sonic Forces tells us.

>>9565 >Sonic's all about being green and saving the environment >the environment is completely destroyed Sonic truly failed.

>>9568 Great now people will use this to defend Roger being a decent VA for Sonic. Personally, I feel like the older two did it better in a shorter amount of time, but I just don't care enough to get annoyed by Roger anymore. He's ok.

>>9564 None in particular, just curious if anyone had thought about it and made something out of it. Combining the realistic nature of Fallout games with Sonic sounds awful.

>>9569 >Great now people will use this to defend Roger being a decent VA for Sonic. I have no horses in that race but why, what does this change?

>>9570 >Spoiler Yeah, because that's called Sonic 06.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb0frnMCYII

>>9569 But he is a decent VA for Sonic. It's not his fault nearly every single Sonic game he's voiced has been written by morons. I prefer the prior two, too, but I'm not gonna hate on Smith over something that's not his fault.

>>9574 I still think he works better for an older Sonic. I can't hate him for it, but I'm not happy with him being Sonic's 15 year old voice. That's been my problem for 10 years, and why I made that post. I get it, he's not shitty, but it's not fitting for me. Same goes for Shadow, and I genuinely hate Shadow anyways. But the first voice sounded like a teenager, and I wished the American voice cast respected that more. The Jap side does, so that's what pisses me off about it the most.

>>9574 >But he is a decent VA for Sonic. No he fucking isn't. He sounds WAY too old, he has almost no energy, and he uses the exact same inflection for every single line: sarcastic uninterested douchebag. Shit writing doesn't help, but Sonic games have never had good writing and Drummond/Griffith knew how to make serious lines carry some actual fucking weight. He can't even make funny lines sound decently funny. He's just all-around dull. He's basically a slightly younger-sounding Nathan Drake. The only defense I ever see for Roger's Sonic voice is that he makes Sonic sound more like a jackass and people apparently think that's the only way his character works, even though he isn't supposed to be, and being intentionally unlikable is still unlikable.

>>9577 That last part is likely people from Britian liking Roger Sonic, since the only Sonic they know is Fleetway "Dickwad" Sonic.

>>9575 To be honest, I think people really underestimate how important voice direction is when it comes to VAs. Sonic has been lacking good VA direction for a while now

>>9579 Reminds me, Team Sonic Racing's voice lines sound fucking awful from what they've shown so far in my opinion. Like the worst direction with the current VA cast.

It is time.

>>9576 Have you ever bought a bootleg /sthg/?

>>9577 I love how this artist draws Sage.

>>9581 Why would Buddy give her that gun?

>>9584 He didn't know, but he's about to find out.

>>9584 I'm pretty sure Bump molested him a few pictures before that one.

>>9586 Lucky.

>>9584 He wants Sage to kill him

Are there any news about when to expect the next comic issue? Are they going to go back to the regular half of the month release schedule or will they keep releasing them at the end of each month?

>>9592 They haven't made any announcement about that, but I imagine (& hope) they go back to the regular schedule next issue.

Morning, /fast/. What was the last Sonic-related song you listened too?

>>9596 I think it was Vela-Nova

>>9596 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mz8Veq4MZo This song is fucking sick by the way.

>>9596 I told my amazon echo to play some music and the first track it pulled was the instrumental version of Back in Time from Sonic R

>>9500 That's fucking awesome

Go slow.

>>9603 Well, we're all out of Bumps. May need to make a new thread soon

>>9604 Bumping is an addiction.

>>9603 Blasphemy!

>>9578 No, Fleetway Sonic was a passionate dickwad, damn it, he was never dull.

>>9610 Fleetway also had a bit of a messed up childhood. At least he has his reasons for being a dick, even if he's still a dick.

>>9605 Do you think Bump likes bumping so much that she even willing takes the Bait?

>>9617 She's not the smartest, so probably.

>>9619 Would Sonic break into my house & rob me?

>>9620 Not if you leave out freshly made chili dogs on Christmas Eve.

>>9620 He will rob you all your time with his vidya games.

>>9621 A-and what if I don't? >>9622 Fug

>>9623 You get sand for Christmas instead of presents.

>>9624 O-oh

>>9624 I just realized Sega could sell sand and say it's from Sandopolis and I'd buy it.

>>9626 But Sandopolis doesn't exist.

>>9627 Doesn't mean they still can't sell it

>>9619 If you're good you get a copy of your favorite Sonic game and a plush of your favorite character. If you're bad he gives you something so awful you'll wish he just gave you Sonic '06 instead.

>>9632 New thread >>9632

>>9493 Why are nigger and faggot not acceptable in conversations but fuck and shit are?

>>9874 I think all of em' are fine, but let's try to keep this sonic related
