Sonic General Discussion Thread v1 - Games

Looks like both the Complete and Vocals Only Sonic Forces soundtracks have hit iTunes.

I wonder if eventually Nintendo'll just buy SEGA / Sonic Team? (purely hypothetical)

I still like SEGA to keep Sonic for authenticity sake, but I would love to see Nintendo's take on the Blue Blur, how they spin the formula, just once.

I think if Nintendo ever bought the Sonic Franchise the games would feel less arcade-like. Since Nintendo likes to emphasize platforming over atmosphere when it comes to that kind of game. Which would be a pretty big change since Sonic games were always more about the enviroment and feel rather than actual platforming.

Whereas sonic forces is a collection of badly made platforming levels strung together with some shit dialogue and cutscenes animated by people that clearly don't give a shit.

so super sonic DLC is a thing now [media]https://twitter.com/TailsChannel/status/943877194543071232[/media]

I'm a little confused as to why it is even labelled as a DLC

[QUOTE=Noob4life;52968808]It's clear now Their best move is to outsource a Sonic game to Nintendo[/QUOTE] Would be sick to see this happen. Nintendo's polish and design philosophy of taking a single concept and utilizing it to the absolute maximum could do wonders for an IP such as Sonic.

snip,late

The sheer state of Sonic Team where they have the audacity to make Super Sonic DLC. They really don't see Sonic as anything but some marketing machine they can use as some kind of scam do they?

This is why we need a third party team like mania's for 3d sonic

not gonna lie, it's pretty surprising Jon kept all the code/models/materials TT ever did for Sega.

White Jungle V2 though

Even the music suggests that Sonic Team should stop having anything to do with Classic Sonic, period. But overall I really dig Sonic Forces' tracks.

The melodies are good, its the soundfonts they used don't do them justice. (Don't know if soundfont is the right word, I don't make music) If only other people could see that.

[video]https://youtu.be/W8qtUB0SX9M[/video] Retrobit announced at CES2018 USB/Bluetooth Controllers for the Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast. Also a new batch of officially licenced VGA/S-Video cables and power supply and most importantly the posibility of new Hardware versions of the aforementioned 3 consoles, although it hasn't been disclosed if they're going to be faithful replicas that will play original software or will be emulation based like the Minines.

Hopefully these new SEGA controllers are better than the existing ones. For whatever reason Retro-Bit's Genesis controller are extremely cheap feeling compared to their SNES one. I got a Hyperkin GN6 and it made it even harder to go back to the Retro-Bit pad. That thing is 1:1 with the original.

[QUOTE=Metaru;53041103] although it hasn't been disclosed if they're going to be faithful replicas that will play original software or will be emulation based like the Minines.[/QUOTE] Oh I bet they will either be emulators or some shitty system-on-chip solutions. Except for dreamcast, both hardware emulator and hardware replica sounds crazy no matter which route they will choose.

I can't imagine why they'd get that artist to promote the first comic. I'm not really well versed in the comics but I've seen that artist's work, and he's really just not very good, especially here.
