Me thinks the new one's good, we are just too used to the old one.
Needs a "SEGA" voice tho, or a jingle, at least.
anyone claiming to make coldsteel most likely wont even buy the game. why bother.
i'm not particularly sold on the oc making but if i can make one, i'll be happy to do so.

sonic team has experience when it comes to character creation so hopefully it will be more than two sliders and hats
I always thought that the 3d blast intro was Travelers Tales idea, kinda like how various other games had unique versions of it. As for the fan base wide and varied with multiple different aspects, like any other franchise is. A majority I know of would love it if Sega did a good job with the games and won't mind Sonic Forces and a lot of people have poked fun at the character customization idea, there's also people like me who are absolutely down with a character creator in a Sonic game and would love to see a well implemented version of it. Then we have the more vocal side of the community who just can't be pleased no matter what you do with the franchise. That group specifically is to blame for why we get the memes (though I don't mind the sonic twitter because they know how to utilize it in a positive way) the 'Original the Characters' which are primarily lazily recolors rather than taking their time to actually come up with a good design for their characters. Personally I'm one of the fans who would have loved to play Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric, mainly because I understood that Sonic isn't just about going fast, I also would love to have a n open world Sonic game, something akin to Breath of the Wild's sandbox of a world where I can fuck around with Sonic or a customizable character's abilities and fight the bosses in any order I want, granted an open world Sonic game would be extremely difficult to pull off but if done right would be amazing.
From what was seen in the trailer, I don't think they even have any sliders- probably so the characters will keep a consistent hitbox. It looks more like you're just picking the species, body colors, and its clothing.

I'm surprised the intro scares you, what about the game over?

This was used in commercials in the Saturn era.

I wonder what Sonic 2 would have been like with a map.

Interesting, I never really thought about the world consistency in Sonic 2 since 1, CD and 3 were all isolated to specific locations. Also makes sense why Chemical Plant Zone as the second zone always felt a bit jarring, they'd planned a bit more. I guess Green Hill meant that Emerald Hill was a later idea to not be so derivative, and all of the maps actually have almost identical island structures, as if they were like alternate versions of the same island or something ala the various futures in Sonic CD.

Well no wonder, Sonic 2 [i]was[/i] going to have time travel until they realized that CD, being developed separately, had the same idea. :v:
There seems to be more cut levels we haven't heard of until now (i.e: Sand Shower, Ocean Wind, Blue Lake, Rock World, Olympus, Tropical Plant).
Probably stuff dropped in earlier concepts compared to the things that lingered to the Simon Wai prototype.
Maps? I could use that for game projects.
[QUOTE=RikohZX;52262801]Probably stuff dropped in earlier concepts compared to the things that lingered to the Simon Wai prototype.[/QUOTE]
I wonder if any of the previously unknown ones made it past concept art if there's no remnants in the Nick Arcade proto.
I guess Sand Shower could of been Dust Hill Zone.
I found a Genesis at a local thrift store a few days ago. I showed my friend and he offered to sell me a stack of his old Genesis games for 20 bucks.

Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Spinball I got from Bullmoose the day after.
I need to find my Sega Genesis, it's in a box somewhere with all my games
I got a Super Retro Trio for playing my old Genesis games. I found my copy of Sonic 1 but I can't locate 3&K.
I also got a boxed copy of Sonic 2, the one I don't have any nostalgia for. I played the 8-bit version on Game Gear and later the Wii. The latter was great because I could actually see things outside of the Game Gear version's FOV.
Windii is doing a direct-from-Japanese translation of Adventure 2 right now, starting with the Hero story (subtitles obviously have to be turned on if they aren't already unless you're fluent in Japanese):
[video=youtube;mJcClMWtFp0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJcClMWtFp0[/video]
You'll notice a number of differences between this version and the English translation (some of which are quickly listed [URL="http://windii.tumblr.com/post/160980977732/part-1-of-my-newest-installment-in-the-awesome"]here[/URL]); it goes and show just how much of a rush job the latter was.
[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;52268165]Anyone else tired of the cat-and-mouse rumor game over whether or not Archie Sonic is canceled? I'll admit that I've only been a casual reader of the series, but even so it's really frustrating.
If it is getting canned, it's a real shame, because from what I've heard the post-reboot storyline was actually starting to get good.[/QUOTE]
Well it helps that it actually had something to focus on after two decades of clusterfuck clogging everything up, and they used the situation of the reboot to give characters something of a drive in and of itself.

At first I thought this can be somehow related to third character in Sonic Forces but now that we know it's a custom character this is not really a valid point. I think archie is going to scrap it. Sonic is gone from the archie website so at this point I think they are trying to negotiate with sega what to do next: give it (license the characters and story) to another publisher or just forget about it.
I hope (presumably) scrapping comic which is selling ~10k copies a month in favor of making a netflix series or whatever the reason is is worth it, archie.
eggman's played too much castlevania this time, and i'm not even talking sylvania castle zone
That's a pretty intricate design for a classic(-inspired) Sonic game, not that I'm complaining. I'm actually floored at how much detail they snuck in while still maintaining that retro Sonic aesthetic.
