Focus, S. Chaos absorbed the emeralds and you KNOW what that means.
the mystic ruins theme sounds like some national geographic shit
I want the real Sonic back.
>>740242070Why do Americans still write game dialogue like that when people have been making fun of it for years?
>"Look, Blue Blur. There's no time to waste. GUN is on your trail. You must escape." >"Escape from the City composed by Jun Senoue and performed by Ted Poley and Tony Harnell? Heh... Leave it to me!" >"Sigh..."

>>740243025Because they literally don't know anything else. The media that people grew up enjoying was created by well-read individuals who had a wealth of material to take inspiration from. Writers in previous generations were building off of art, literature, history, sociology, etc. Current writers only take influence from the media they were inspired by. The Simpsons is written by people whose only background is watching The Simpsons, Star Wars with Star Wars, pop music with pop music. It's affected nearly everything
>>740243568>Writers in previous generations were building off of art, literature, history, sociology, etc. You mean how Maekawa ripped off that manga in your pic?>Current writers only take influence from the media they were inspired by.You mean how Maekawa was influenced by the manga he watched?Wait, does manga suddenly not count as media in this context? Or are you insinuating that Maekawa was well-read or something? Because I hate to break this to you, but SA2's plot is not exactly Shakespearean, anon. Anyone who read Please Save My Earth could've cobbled it together. I love SA2, and I get where you're coming from, but you're not really using the best example, here, I'm afraid.
>>740243025these games have been in development for 5 years, they can't change it at this point.
>>740244504He didn't write the Sonic Adventure games by trying to mimic the previous Sonic games.I don't know why you're trying to make this separation between "high brow" media like traditional literature (which is a pretentious view by the way because there's nothing special about reading books) and "low brow" media like manga, that's not what I was saying. Maekawa's varied influences were what allowed him to make the Adventure games the unique experience that they were. Meanwhile look at Freedom Planet. Created by people whose entire personality is liking Sonic, and what did they create? They just made Sonic again. When there's no outside influence being brought into a medium, then that medium devolves into a spiral of rehashing itself over and over again
I can't tell if this is a thread about Sonic or American game writing.
