This sounds cool until you end up with woke background humans in IDW.

You also don't want to force Sonic Team's hand on human races either. Like "what is the maximum amount of Mazurians and Shamarans are allowed Spagonia?" is a question IDW will absolutely ask because Sonic countries were ethnostates in Unleashed 2 decades ago before mass migration.

It's weird that Japan has the Blobian creator, while the West opted for a human character creator when the sentiment has kinda been the opposite. Most Westies prefer Blobians while the Japs like humans, talk about mismanagement.

Though I guess the West did get bullied by Dark Age fags to make humans more present in Sonic, lol.

And all these things turn to nothing

And the sidelines keep me coming
And the stars, they keep you afraid

Member when a Sega of America producer let it slip that Boom Sonic is the new Modern Sonic?

https://web.archive.org/web/20220329185428/https://www.usgamer.net/articles/whats-next-for-sonic-the-hedgehog-and-friends

Man, they tried really hard to replace Modern/Adventure Sonic with Boom.

This could have worked if they didn't hire a bunch of retards.

I get the impression Sonic Team still runs things this way; they let gaijin handle gaijinslop and they just took a new strategy of making it *feel like* a connected universe.

I don't believe Sonic should only be for men but IDW definitely attracts the wrong kinds of fans. These people don't want Sonic.

sonic stopped being for men when shadow was made everyone got trojan horsed like millennials that Iike inuyasha now enjoy sonic awkwardly laugh while talking to a royal redhead

It's funny watching Inuyasha as an adult and realizing it's just a serialized version of Ranma. It's absolutely for girls.

>>571357359
I hated that fucking show when it was on air. Never understood the appeal.

>>571357420
It's a pretty standard adventure isekai with tsundere-to-lovers dynamic. Though I think they drop the ball a little too early and it gets stale fast.

IDW needs to learn from UDON and give us swimsuit specials with all the mobian girls, speaking of females the sonic universe might also be classified as hot chick heaven

Let people enjoy things the way they will. I am a man and I really like Shadow 2005 and SatBK for masculine reasons. There is not a right or wrong way to do these things. I think it's like fanfiction, even if most of it is shipping well it is very broad in actual ways you can engage with it.
>>
>>571357591
When I say "attracting the wrong people" I mean they will come to the games asking for something that's never going to happen. At the very least the main appeal of the movies can be found to some extent in the games.

>>571357650
The fandom for Sonics at this point is mostly liberal, at least online. Not just IDW
>>
>>571357591
I don't have a problem watching sappy stories or romance stories. I don't know why people need those to be in Sonic.
>>
>>571357749
That's everything, but it's mostly that that's just the loudest, most terminally online group.
>>
>>571357749
I don't think "liberal" and "emotional and crying" are entirely bound
>>
>>571357108
I will unironically buy the game if they put Heavy, Bomb, or Honey in the game.

I originally found Inuyasha appealing because it was the first time I saw an anime with gore in it. Then I realized this shit was for girls and watched FMA and Cowboy Bebop instead.

Too many parasocial faggots in this fandom

>>571357576
1. If it were to be officially announced, the internet would explode. Just imagine the fucking headlines

2. The entire fandom would be at war for a period of time if specific characters are included or excluded, because of the hot topic button around character ages

That's every Fandom. In fact using the term "fandom" and associating yourself with a "fandom" is a tell tale sign you spend too much te online and need to actually start living a meaningful life.
>>
>>571358721
I've found there to be a correlation between spending more time in a fandom and more problems coming from it. Most of them are bad.

>>571359084

>>571366727
Sonic Team is looking for a Japanese writer, thankfully. However, that won't make things better unless Sonic Team makes sure the original Japanese dialogue gets translated accurately into English and other languages and Sonic Team gets strict about the way the characters are portrayed. Shadow right now is the only one that actually has that privilege but Sonic, Silver, and Amy have been abandoned to their own luck and this is why they're so out of character sometimes

Blaze is the opposite of Sonic
Sonic is the opposite of Knuckles
Knuckles is the opposite of Rouge

It should be noted that "opposite" should be taken with a fairly large grain of salt in this context. Non of them are perfect opposites, and while people like sparky (pbuh) will die on a hill to insist otherwise it's mainly just a framework to help understand some basic characterization pointers. This characterization is unsurprsingly fairly fluid and inconsistent, as is expected of a franchise that spans 30+ years. For example, the Rouge of today is not the same Rouge that was introduced in SA2. She started off fairly bratty and kind of tempermental, with her coquettish side being much more subtle. Fast forward to today and she's pretty much just a straight femme fatale girl boss (at least in IDW) with her coquettish nature front and center. Similarly, Knuckles wasn't really explosively angry until Sonic X rolled around. Compare him in the adventure games to what we have now. He actually seems much more like a perfect foil to sonic in those games with how considerably reserved he is. Hell, his first interaction with Rouge he's trying NOT to fight her. I don't know if that was supposed to be some kind of narrative carryover from SA1, but if anything it demonstrates the kind of nuanced characterization that has been lost over time.

So yeah, they're opposites. Knuckles is Blaze (retarded hotheads) and Sonic is Rouge (cool professionals). Unless you're factoring in all the third-party media, then Sonic is a slightly more capable Phillip J. Fry and Blaze acts like an AI assistant.

Because it's a stupid idea to have your lore managed by foreigners overseas and don't even speak the same language. The "Lore Team" feels like some kind of money management scam because I have never heard of such a department for a company. You don't need a team for that shit.

It was a PR stunt and internally likely meant jack shit. The only notable contribution was Ian's consolidation of brand references so he could get a greenlight to include them. Any "lore team" that was hellbent on managing the timeline and worldbuilding would figure out pretty quickly that you kind of have to nuke the last 20 or so years if you want a cohesive world.

Everything after SA2 with the exception of Rush is just clumsily executed in terms of narrative, and the adventure games weren't exactly stellar in that department.

Perceived character inconsistency isn't a timeline or worldbuilding issue. Unless a reboot of some sort is happening, that is a character writing issue. It doesn't harm the inherent integrity of the world.

>I do not believe that these characters would form stable teams with one another and all show up to sonic's birthday party.
That is also not a lore or world issue.

>Everything after SA2 with the exception of Rush is just clumsily executed in terms of narrative, and the adventure games weren't exactly stellar in that department.
You're gonna need to try harder than saying "dis game is bad". At best, you could argue some of the choices are forced (Knuckles casually hanging around Sonic and Tails in Sonic Riders, not doing his job) but gets handwaved away cause the game needs to happen. And just so we're clear, the bar for that is "Eggman is doing evil things". Not exactly hard to clear.

Okay, so you're arguing strictly in technical terms regarding what actually affects the internal consistency of the world. Sure, I'll agree. I suppose I just view the franchise as primarily character-driven, and consider degradation in that area to be structurally compromising. I credit sonic team's perennial disinterest in committing to some serious worldbuilding has left them with a setting that's extremely fluid, so happy accident. I will still maintain that it would be best to rollback the timeline for tonal reasons, but that's my opinion. You are right.

All sonic character inherently have some cute appeal by default of looking like oversized plushies. There's a difference between finding a character to be cute (uwuver people with Silver) and that character's personality being deliberately geared toward being cute (Cream).

he also appreciates natural life, scenery, chao and other small critters like sonic but more openly since he is about heroicism and world peace compared to sonic's ''wind'' angle. it's also the total opposite of shadow who says he is attracted more to aritificial cities and such rather than natural life (heroes idle line)

Sonic's love of nature is much more simple. He doesnt have a deep reason for liking iy, he simply finds it pretty and likes being out there in nature sometimes.
Sonic also enjoys cities though.


Sonic isn't an eco-terrorist. He is just a guy that likes nature's beauty and hates that egghead ruins it.

I also agree that SA1 is overrated.
Saying you can ignore every campaign except sonic isn't a good excuse, they added these characters in for me to play and have fun with and if I find them unfun and bare bones then failed. Simple as.
SA2 for the most part is better and more focused, it still has it's own problems and set backs from SA1 but the overall product I think is better.
SA2 TH is also better than SA1 TH, I have yet to see anyone complain about SA2 TH stages that didn't just climb hugh and glide and wait for pings, you are outright playing the game wrong and got punished for it, you have hints and don't say "but muh score" you are 15 minutes in you ain't getting an A Rank using the hints makes the stages take 2 minutes at max you idiot, plus you can kill robots to offset the score tax and going fast enough will net you an A anyways it isn't hard.
Mech controls are weird, they broke them in SA2B they were better in DC version but ether way Gamma just felt more fluid, SA2's saving grace is the stages are more fleshed out for them but that's about it ideally you'd gamma's controls in SA2 Mech stages as the best of both worlds.
>>
>>571379529
Agreed for the most part.
That said I don't love gamma's controls either. I think Gamma's controls only get away with it because he basically has no real level design and youre just fucking around. Also his gameplay is unengaging in SA1.
SA2s mech controls are "less fluid" but they make more sense for hoe the levels are designed in SA2.
They could serve to be less clunky though.

You know, I feel like people just don't like the treasure hunting in general. Like they only give SA1 a pass because they could do it quick and it has less friction compared to SA2s which was a more earnest attempt at the concept. The fact that SA2's more genuine attempt at designing TH stages was less popular is probably proof that the idea just doesn't resonate with most player, at least at time.

Now that I think about it, has any game outside of Sonic actually pulled off treasure hunting in a way players enjoyed?

>>
>>571380302
Yes, I would agree. And i'd apreciate it more if people just admitted that instead of pretending SA1s were great and SA2s were a downgrade when its just that they hate that SA2 actually fleshed it out into something more involved.

>Now that I think about it, has any game outside of Sonic actually pulled off treasure hunting in a way players enjoyed?
Isn't that basically most collectathon platformers?
You could argue collectathons are a dated relic of the early 3D era though.

Personally I love Treasure Hunting gameplay and would buy a Knuckles spinoff focused on it. Being able to glide and climb around everywhere and platform around in those stages is something you cant get anywhere else and sleuthing out the hints is rewarding.

Reminded me of a guy saying SA1 one was the last good game and SA2 was the REAL start of the dark age.
Old video and it clearly made in the same vain as how classictards distance themselves from the rest of the franchise to look "better" bt just come off as even more autistic.
The amount of people who also claimed they were classicfags and they liked superior games that never played a classic game ever is also staggeringly high even back then. Everyone is so weird and preformative.

I think SA1 was the last time knuckles got tricked and it felt natural, he doubts eggman at first until he sees Sonic's emerald and assumes it is the Master Emerald shard. His own hot headed nature made him pick a fight instead of asking questions.

I feel like collectathons are different. The TH stages are usually more ambiguous on where the collectable is compared to other collectathons, which are more concerned with having the player figure out how to get to something known rather than the where something is.

In Banjo Kazooie, you know where every collectable in a world is and the main question you're asking is "how do I get to the collectable?" and the stages are designed around that discovery (i.e notes leading you to jiggy challenges), while in the TH stages, the question you're asking is "where is the collectable?" and the stages are designed around trying to answer to that question (i.e. hint monitors).

I can't really think of a game that does what the Adventure TH stages was doing.

I find it funny how the dark age actually has a pretty fair amount of good games in the mix yet everyone on the outside assumes it was only terribad garbage, everything was 06.
Games in that era were 100% more rougher than they should have been though like Riders not really explaining itself as well as it should have but is still a great game at it's core.
Advance series is pretty fun and Rush is good too. They all have rough patches usually 100%ing them but I don't think that alone is enough to say they're bad.
So many of these games once you play them just aren't nearly as bad as they're described. And most of the big issues transfer over to the next era anyways but it's okay now because erafags lack nuance.

Wasn't the general consensus that Sonic's 2D games were better than his 3D ones.

This is entirely made up, she doesn't even have that because Amy exists.

Here's a take I have. Sonic has worse gameplay than Tony Hawk games. But it has way better more immersive stories. Music is around equal between both.
I don't think many people play Sonic games for the gameplay.
>>
>>571385705
Removing Sonic"s friends doesnt magically fix the game, but needing every fucking character to be shoved in the game does harm it.
06 didn't benefit from Knuckles being in the game. Amy was fine for story but she didnt need to be playable if she was only gonna have 1 level.
Blaze didnt need to be in the game at all and her being in it just pissed people off.
If they had greater plans for her in that game, we sure as hell didnt get it.

Did we NEED Cream thr Rabbit Vanilla or the Chaotix?
Im fine with them but do we need them in everything?
Metal Sonic is a forced meme and a formality.

i feel like it was planned for her to move on to silver(whether romantic or platonic) already rather than it being something because sonaze failed (i am not even sure if she has a crush on anyone desu) sonamy is something sonic team actually takes seriously despite people here coping (i don't mean that sonic will kiss her and marry her or go to dates continously or anything) and the only one legitimately challenging that was elise whose point was for the entire relationship to be erased from the timeline. there won't really be anyone who's the second ship fodder for sonic.

>>571386020
Saying "people dont play Sonic for thr gamrplay" is not accurate. More accurately is "people dont primarly play Sonic for just pure game mechanics.
This is accurate. They play Sonic to play as the characters. It's a character driven series, but the strength of the characters comes out most in gameplay.
>>
>>571386263
There are better movement based games out there is my claim.
>>
The problem is more a misuse of characters not that they exist.
Sonic team focused to hard on shoehorning in every character because bigger equal better instead of focuses on who fits the story the best and is going to be fun to play as. If you want another playable character then give them a bigger role simple as.
It would likely be better and healthier in the long run if they focused on more pairing up a character for a game. And Trio on some occasions but save it for something big.
>>
>>571386401
Classicfags and fangamrfags insisting Sonic is movement based are high on their own farts.

i feel like people say this because a lot of blazefags are insufferable to be honest. other than that she doesn't really effect the status quo enough to be a net harm. you could say the dual screen feature could be an opportunity to use shadow in an 2d game instead for similar gameplay (though blaze differs being more airborne) but that's it.
>>
>>571386675
I think Tails needs to sit out of a couple games, I know tailsfags won't like it but he doesn't need the yellow butt plug on him every second just because they find Tails dependency cute as he becomes more and more incompetent and useless because his role devolves into him sucking Sonic's dick instead of giving him purpose.

Shadow Infinitus is a really great series. I can't think of any other fans in any other fandoms that managed to make a 50 episode Spanish isekai anime on their own. I watched the whole thing start to finish with Google Subtitles.
I didn't even know this was possible, but it turns out that if you use only cutout pieces and move them instead of redrawing every frame, it's apparently makes it able to animate an entire series. And if you use online assets and edits and anime music.

I enjoy mania for what it is, but people insisting it was gods gift to Sonic were obnoxious.
The game is mostly fanservice and spectacle.

Why is modern Shadow a dick? Instead of saying something along the lines of "Heh, you're nothing compared to me, the Ultimate Life Form! Just give up!" completely unprovoked (SA2 Shadow only greets hostility with hostility, he's respectful to those who respect him) he should say something like:
"Do not hold back; I want to see your true potential..."

His characterization started to degrade as early as Heroes. Remember "Is that so? Well then... It'll be a date to die for!" Yes, in SA2 he says "I can't let you live" but that's a fair bit more pragmatic than relishing the thought of murder.

Shadow hated humanity because they killed his sistergf. Once he remembered she had no malice towards them he forgave humanity for what G.U.N. did. Depressed nihilism suits him because while he likely saw that there was good in humanity, his resolve for vengeance won the inner struggle. You could also interpret this as narcissistic apathy though...

>>571398278
>Once he remembered she had no malice towards them he forgave humanity for what G.U.N. did.
No he didn't. He just chose to fight for her wish. You're whitewashing the character.

>>571398492
I think you legit just have dogshit reading comprehension which is apparently typical of westies in your age bracket.

I didnt say he is "secretly a dick".
I asked you to distinguish between being one and coming off like one.
>>
>>571398632
True, I'm seeing humanizing depth where there probably is none. He didn't care either way what happened to humanity which is definitely nihilistic.
>>
>>571398278
>Once he remembered she had no malice towards them he forgave humanity for what G.U.N
Isn't the point of Shadow 05 that his actions in SA2 were for Maria only, and his deal with Devil Doom was that he was finally putting himself before the wishes of Maria.

>>571398817
No, that's isnt ehat nihilism is. Nihilism is when you dont see a point to life. Shadow isn't and wasnt a nihilist. He was a science experiment made to be the supreme being who hated mortals for their actions against eachother and killing his loved ones.

I don't care how smart you think I am or am not and I'm not threatened by such delusional pursuits unlike you. The person I replied to was saying that Shadow wanted to fulfill a promise to Maria, but he also wanted revenge before he remembered his promise was something else, so I was agreeing. Furthermore, upon fulfilling his promise he sacrificed his life for humanity, so...
>when you don't see a point to life
Yes, 100% nihilistic and he went out like a badass hero doing so. Sorry but you're wrong about this one.

It's probably easier from a writing standpoint to make sonic affiliated with a 'good guy' organization to give him missions and drama as opposed to being fart, I mean wind

>>571398953
If Shadow blew up Earth, but somehow survived, he would have probably become a wreck if he somehow realized Maria's wish. I don't see anything but suicide as an answer to his sin.
Shadow is suicidal by the Last Story in SA2, but it's honestly such a massive conundrum compared to necking himself if he somehow realized the truth after everyone died.

Is a pure Japanese style scenario for Sonic possible to sustain long term storytelling and arcs in a comic if going for a chronological storytelling in Sonic's world? Just invent new settings and places, having him run around world, sometimes short sometimes long, and maybe keep a Maekawa style tone? That is actually sound a little bit like a DND campaign, but perhaps with softer internal logic and different worldbuilding.
>>
>>571399526
That's because the 2010s rejected shonen sonic kino
Frontiers itself does feel like a more natural continuation from Sonic Unleashed and 2000s Sonic in tone and presentation than Colors. The only 2010s about it is Frontiers having a western writer who doesn't understand the characters

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is one of the greatest games ever made. The others aren’t as good. What happened?

SA1fags will tell you to your face that the Tornado2s x-wing state not playing any differently than the Tornado 2's base form, said base form not playing any different than the original Tornado, and both not needing you to even play the game while you fly are "part of the game's quirky DC charm" and not just poor design.

Maybe, I don't pay much attention to drama. Considering it's a Japanese person I doubt they were even thinking about the concept of being white

BO1 is still best in the series for me. the variety, the gameplay, the story, the twist. Never been topped.

Doom II. No matter how many times I play it, I can always come back.

You’ve ever played doom II Sunlust?
It’s one of my favorite games ever

>>571404828
same points you mentioned, it's also why i think MW2 is equally tied with cod4.
MW3 on the other hand... it's good but it doesn't reach the same heights as the first 2.
>>571405141
Yep, that's the one. IIRC, what actually happened was some dipshit QRT'd them with something along the lines of "fixed your art, fucker" and made human knuckles black

I wonder if theres any replayability to old Doom mods. I'd want a game that can have tons of content that's fps.

It's on the backlog. In terms of official expansions, It's got to be Plutonia, but for mods that change the gameplay, Pirate Doom is peak. It's so good I went out and bought Captain Wayne just to get more Pirate boomer shooter action.

Pretty much unlimited. There's map packs galore, gameplay mods, and anything else you want.

Besides the classic Search & Destroy and Headquarters, I dug some Sticks & Stones. I loved ragebaiting my brother with my ballistic knife prowess.

MW2 can be played with bots for IW4X. That's how I got 80 hours in the game. COD4 and MW2 is high level gameplay, but I like COD4 physics better because of how jumping and mantling works

They say it implicitly when they say the game is perfect as is and has no flaws.

>No one ever said it and I'm strawmaning
Oh, I see now.

If you say the latter, that includes the former.
