06 still having defenders proves this fanbase deserves nothing
>>539867513Sonic hates Sega too.
>>539867592All it proves is that you're a little bitch who can't handle that not everyone agrees with you even when your opinion is the most common in the world.
>>539867681You deserve nothing
Hot take: elise would be more accepted and more popular if she was designed, as an anime girl like shahra, merlina or sonic x maria.
>>539867739Calm down Willy Wonka, who pissed on your Oompa Loompas?
>>539867739I'm not entitled to anything, however I will continue to have fun with my favorite Sonic games while you seethe at nothing.
Rush sabotaged amy, knuckles, tails and cream so Blaze could be shilled as an equal to sonic. 06 gave the bitch what she deserved.
>>539867592Sounds more like you got upset about the blaze rectcon, thats is still canon as a whole.
>>53986785306 sabotaged those same people so Silver could be shilled as an equal to Sonic
Holy damn the art in GOTF is pretty, i dislike Evan but she can cook
Douge
>>539867880Idgaf about Blaze. Vault her and Silver
>>539867592i like 06. One of my wishes was always hoping someone dedicated took the game and fixed the bugs and other stuff. I got what i wanted sue me Even SEGA as a whole bend the knee to 06 fans
>>539868034Cute N Canon!
>>539867998This is the fancomic where uwu silver originated from. So as well drawn it is, it always have my hate.
Kurimu!Morning /sthg/ what the fuck is up? What I miss? It's the final day! 24 hours till the early access starts! Are you excited? Did you get the deluxe whale edition?Who are you going to friendmax (date) first?
>>539868084Cool to know sega instead of trashing lore from the game, started to make use of it. Im glad they never tried to deny 2006 events as a story, even with haters behind.
>>539868084Mephiles showing up in Shadow Gens and some mobile games doesn't really sound like Sega "bending the knee".
>>539867998The humans still look really ugly
Sonic should have no equal. The only ones who should even come close are Tails Knuckles and/or Shadow. Tails for the narrative purpose of “if you believe in yourself you too can be like your hero Sonic”. Knuckles OR Shadow for rival purposes, but only in a Goku/Vegeta way at best. Silver and Blaze? Fuck off
>bestie
>>539868521Amyfags will never beat the besties allegations.
>>539868341SEGA its no longer afraid of using 06 stuff There was a point everything 06 was forbidden outside generationshttps://youtu.be/yAkxcP_Vltc?si=ACl63hF0jBhY1kMS&t=2049
>breastie
I want to Bang the Cat
>>539868316If I get the game it will be Tails, obviously.
>>539868084If mephiles could be salvaged, maybe infinite has a chance too.
>>539868717
Good Night.
>>539868341It will only get better. Eventually they will rerelease the original game with some simple bug fixes and everyone will praise it as the best game of all time, while you cope and cry and seethe and pull your hair out and come here to spam NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T ENJOY THE LITERAL BEST GAME EVER MADE STOOOPPPPPPPP over and over and over while everyone either ignores you or laughs at you until you get permabanned from the entire Internet. Silver is getting in the movies and everyone will love him by the way. Cope forever, dumbass.
>>539868968Good night
>>539869030Least annoying silverfag
>>539869030autism but based
>>539869145Silver isn't even my favorite character, I'm just giving you the facts. The game's reception has been on an upwards trend for years and shitposters like >>539867592 can only cry about it. Things will keep going in this direction and the game will receive the respect it deserves.
eat your heart out ray
Okay, let's say Ian is allowed to have full creative control over Amy. What's the actual result?
Feels good 06Gods
>>539869297Cool!
>>539869030I would love for 06 to have a modern way for people to play it but just like Unleashed it's gonna come down to a fan port. I am really looking forward to seeing what people can do with Marathon Recompiled whenever it's released.
>>539869329
>>539869329amyfags find his house
>>539869267>06 is the best game ever>the factsLMAO
>>539869030>Eventually they will rerelease the original gameThey aren't going to do this in a thousand years. The rest will eventually happen (Silver getting good gameplay, getting in the movies, etc). They'll do what they have been doing with 06, and rip out what they want and put it into a better game idea
>>539869329uniornically? Lesbian and retired to make a way for Blazedude its not even transparent about it Oh and Blaze turns into a 1:1 clone of Sally because the dude only writes his same headcanons everytime
>>539869348ikrnot gonna lie her gameplay feels a bit boring though
>>539869030yes please, let's see sega fuck up a re-release 06 like they fucked up the genesis games and sa1
>>539869385Yeah I'm excited for the recompilation too. I want to try Legacy of Solaris and Super Hard Mode
>>539869329Amy will never unseat Lanolin as the biggest boobs
>>539869329This but unironically.
Elise should have been a blobian.I really love what quaver did with her.
in the final level i had to restart the whole game because she got stuck in a place with a long slope and no accelerators or springscosmo can't spin dash, peel out or even roll in this game
>>539869578
>>539869605>cosmofag enjoying the game without any of the standard Sonic moves>meanwhile some amyfags are still crying tears of blood for not having them
>>539869689
>>539867592Sonic 06 IS ETERNAL
>>539869881-LY GAY
>>539869881ffs that picture make's silver look like he has a huge dong just hanging out.
>>539869509Lanolin will always be my most despised letdown for a sonic characters.
>>539869774>2000s amy: a hedgehog, and passionately loves sonic>sega makes her gameplay slow and completely different from sonic>2020s amy: her gameplay is extremely fast and almost identical to sonic>sega makes her passionless and indifferent to sonicwhat the fuck is wrong with these people?
>>539869997To be fair, whisper and tangle are pretty close on that regard.
>>539867592Feels like that's because most people haven't actually played 06, just watched YouTube videos about it or maybe played P06.Playing 06 on a PS3 a couple years ago was a transient experience. You don't know how bad this game is until you actually play it for yourself, no matter how much you already have seen or heard about it.
>>539869329She's insomniac Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Mary Jane mixed with Lesbian Wonder Woman with a touch of transmasculine-coded identity. Thank Ian we now have more legitimate reason to hate on Amy
>>539869881Yes I love the game where you play as Trunks Goku and Vegeta’s fursonas. Hedgehog (aka not-Saiyan) supremacy! Fuck everyone else!
>>539870134I played it on Xbox 360 for the first time last year and I enjoyed it. Sometimes I launch the game and get some S ranks or replay my favorite stages
>>539865736>>539866185>>539866289Blaze is not from the future in 06. The whole point of her partnership with Silver and their Tanabata analogue has always been that they're from different worlds.
>>539870079i could never get the hang of amy in advance 1, to me her being hard mode was cool but i imagine most people didn't feel the same way
>>539853693>Reminder that Paramount already got its teeth kicked in with South Park.QRD? I want to have hope (or even just cope) for Sonic 4 rehabilitating Amy like it did Shadow.
>>539869881
>>539870134No one here was defending the gameplay, sucker, people were arguing about the story, and how stuff escalated compared to other sonic games.>>539870134>Playing 06 on a PS3 a couple years ago was a transient experience. You don't know how bad this game is until you actually play it for yourself, no matter how much you already have seen or heard about itI played that game way before half this board was even born, when it was actually released.
>>539870172Everyone is playable in Sonic 2006. They even had DLC for the amigo characters.
I'll never get why STKfags hate 2006 when it's literally one of the only two games that prominently features STK. It seems to come down to jealousy for Shadow and Silver fighting the final boss, but Tails and Knuckles literally did that in the previous game. They also blame the game for the characters not being used in later games, but this is literally the game that did the most effort to use as many characters as possible.
>>539870257Let it go anon.
>>539869968His huge hedgeCock is reserved only for brazeu tight pu$$y btw
>>539870257It's just shippers, man. The more information that comes out about Blaze and 06 makes it very clear she was still supposed to be from another dimension. Cut dialog from 06 even had her recognizing Sonic.
>>539870427>They also blame the game for the characters not being used in later games, but this is literally the game that did the most effort to use as many characters as possible.06 did it as shit as possible, and validated all the complaints people had about them since SA1
>>539870540Did you reply yourself?
>>539870257>>539870442I have no real stake in this, but I just find it impressive that Sonic fans will never let settled issues stay dead.
>>539870593It kept the base movement similar for all the characters and changed their speed and abilities, whereas SA1 gives everyone except Tails and Knuckles a completely different base. Nothing was "validated".
>>539870427>but Tails and Knuckles literally did that in the previous game.In cuck bubbles, aka *not* as equals of Sonic. All the hedgies getting to go super together showcased ST’s true intentions, to make them into quasi-saiyans and bench T+K Krillin/Tien style
>>539868084Mephiles had a great theme https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5cBaV5fTt7w&pp=ygUQbWVwaGlsZXMgcGhhc2UgMQ%3D%3D
>>539870593literally gave everyone gameplay close to sonic instead of a different gameplay and genrealso people already got sick of the "friends" with heroes but people forget , all those complains about repetittion and chaotix.
>>539870427knuckles is the only character in 06 who can't complete a level without glitches
Blazefag seething aside, does anyone here is exited about crossworlds coming soon?Im not particularly exited about the whole dlc, but megaman being there, makes me really exited for some reason.
>>539870339DLCs barely count
Reincarnation theorists have to ignore:>Internal documents giving the Rush origin>All 06 supplementary material before and after the game released giving the Rush origin(Including the strategy guide directly saying she came from her dimension)>Takashi Iizuka saying she isn't from the future>The Power of the Stars>The royal soul plot point>Blaze's knowledge and design that someone from Silver's apocalypse wouldn't have>How Silver and Blaze aren't actually written as lifelong friends>Cut voice lines where Blaze recognizes Sonic and Amy>The fact that Silver still has the 06 backstory but doesn't remember Blaze from 06>The Tanabata allegory requiring Blaze to be both a princess and from a different world than Silver (the princess and the cow herder, not two cow herders)>Absolutely nothing stating that she's from the future (including 06 itself)
>>539870334I was a kid when the game released, but I didn't have an Xbox 360 or a PS3 at the time, and by the time I saw the game online everyone was saying it was bad and I believed it for the longest time. In recent years I realized getting my opinions that way was stupid and also that I was biased against games that didn't exactly 100% match what I want from Sonic, and decided that I should play the games myself to form my own opinion. I played Sonic 2006 on Xbox 360 for the first time last year, and I enjoyed it more than I thought. Some parts are much better than I expected, some are much worse. I had to get used to the collision glitches and I had to learn to avoid them. But overall I had a good experience. Sonic, Tails, Omega, and Blaze are all fun to play as, usually when I play the game I like replaying Sonic's stages (or their hard modes). The only characters that I completely dislike to play as are Shadow and worst of all Amy, who is at least only played very briefly. Most town missions suck. Sonic plays the best since he has access to more moves and powerups than anyone else. All that said, the controls for the better characters are decentish all things considered, what truly makes the game enjoyable is the level design and its flow, which isn't unusual for Sonic games>>539870865You can complete that stage without that glitch. I completed that stage without the glitch multiple times before I even knew the glitch existed. You just need to activate the orbs all at the same time before they deactivate. It ruins the flow of the stage and there is no easy way to tell if they're still active until you've activated them all, but it isn't broken, it works just fine and you can complete the stage without having to use a glitch
>>539871004I hope megaman, roll and protonan are the ones on that dlc.Bonus points if their vehicles are inspired by the battle and chase game.
>>539870637Game Theory reopened this wound by telling normies that reincarnation theory applies to the timeline.
>>539871196Funny how, sonic now is the one inviting megaman and Pac-Man, instead of mario.Kinda cute to know legacy game mascots are a bunch of really good friends.Mario could be with them, but Nintendo exclusivity cant let him.
>>539871260I haven't watched that video and I was already saying it still made sense the moment that official timeline was published.
>>539871168imagine how much better the game would be if it was actually finished
>>539871367Reincarnation theory doesn't make sense. That's not how Solaris's power or causality works.
>>539867592(me)I was referring to the story btw
>>539870172/sthg/ can't face the truth
>>539871260>Game TheoryGod-fucking-dammit, that explains the sudden uptick in this shit recently. I thought MatPat died or something?
>>539871371Yeah I wish dude. At least there are Legacy of Solaris, Super Hard Mode, and of course P-06. I haven't played those yet but I'm looking forward to. Really all the gameplay stuff has been covered by fans at this point, what we're missing now is a polished official version of the story and more details on the lore
>>539871371imagine if SEGA wasn't stupid...too bad they did the same shit with Boom and almost with FrontiersIts a miracle we are still here
>>539871442No story involving time travel makes sense.Ironically dragon ball is one of the few that actually understands how timetravel could work. With the alternative pocket timelines Linear theory is one of the worst because it implies the grandpa theory on a lot of stuff.
>>539871454We don't care, you're a little bitch.
>>539871356why should mario associate with the also-rans and their pity party?
>>539871260>Game Theorythey did this stupid shit? so it wasn't just only chronicles?
My top three racers? Kurimu, Seji, and Roru (rokuman) of course.
>>539871518>I thought MatPat died or something?He became a senator. I shit you not.
>>539871624Because mario is an actual friend of all of them? Only this place is obsessed with sega vs Nintendo, just for a dumb crossworlds commercial. When sega has been a partner for Nintendo since the GameCube games.
>>539869030I can’t wait for movie 4 to have Amy take the time travel role and cuck the hell out of Shitver just like Rouge got cucked out of the SA2 movie
>>539869387Sonic looking so smug about taking it in the ass will never not make me laugh.
>>539871619>>539867739
>>539869387I miss soneggfag..
>>539867776
>>539871759>movie 4 is a riff on the terminator>amy gets wounded by metal sonic like kyle reese did>sonic uses the chaos emeralds to revive her with a kiss like in 06>amy cucks elise and silver at the same time
>>539871869Where's your P-06, little bitch?
>>539871356Is more surprising how sonic is associated with megaman and pac-man for different reasons.Some will say smash, but sonic has been collaborating with pac-man for years, while sonic had two comic crossovers with megaman.
>>539871196I'm dreaming of X somehow joining the MegaMan dlc. I know it's very unlikely, but ever since playing maverick hunter X and seeing the cool ride chasers he and zero had made me think MMX could make a really cool "kart racer" game but with the gimmick being they race on super high speed ride chasers.
>>539871969Incredibased
>>539871729Sega's Wii U/3DS deal with Nintendo inadvertently nearly killed the Sonic franchise for real this time. Rumor has it the sabotage was intentional.
>>539867776>elise would be more accepted and more popular if sheDIDNT KISS SONICShould be just platonic other than making Amy jealous
>>539872047Fuck Megaman. Him showing up is a herald of destruction for something Sonic. Just like it was for Archie, something else will be destroyed by this failure.
>>539871991it's because they're all video game mascots that flamed out and only now live off nostalgia
>>539872047I get why people love megaman x, but im actually sick of everyone shilling megaman x, just for being a favorite.Discarding megaman and roll in favor of x and zero is one of the reasons I started to dislike modern marvel vs Capcom.
>>539871168you're missing the pointyou aren't supposed to complete flame core/aquatic base with knuckles, the game wants you to let sonic regain controli know it was just incompetence because he has stage completion voice clips and an animation, but it doesn't change the fact he got the short end of the stick in 06
>>539871729Sonic Team wanted to make a proper Mario and Sonic platforming crossover and Nintendo only let them do lame generic sports games. If Nintendo were a real partner they would have worked together with SEGA to make a good crossover. The only time Nintendo was good for SEGA was during the GameCube era, and that's because the GameCube would have failed even harder if it didn't have an amazing game like SA2.
What Sonic games had the best sense of escalation?>Sonic 3 & KnucklesGoing to hidden palace deep beneath angel island, Knuckles seeing the truth, Sonic & Knuckles becoming bros, then Knuckles warping Sonic to Sky Sanctuary to stop Eggman before it's too late>Sonic AdventureChaos progressively becoming more powerful. Chaos 0, Chaos 2, Chaos 4, Chaos 6, Perfect Chaos>Sonic Adventure 2 Going to Space Colony ARK and taking the fight to Eggman while Shadow waits around for Eggman to gather the emeralds to fulfill Maria's "wish">Sonic HeroesGoing to Eggman's Final Fortress and taking the fight to "Eggman" but is actually Metal Sonic>Shadow the HedgehogGoing to Black Doom's Final Haunt that takes place aboard the Black Comet, the Black Arms' home>Sonic 06Everyone working together in order to gather all seven Chaos Emeralds and resurrect Sonic before Solaris can completely destroy the fabric of reality>Sonic Unleashed Going to Eggmanland, the proposed capital of the Eggman Empire, something mentioned since SA1
>>539872279nintendo doesn't want the struggling blue rat to leech off their Italian plumber
>>539872279Sega was way too busy making f-zero gx.The most awesome racing game ever created.
>>539872279Nintendo is littaly a cancer on the gaming industry.
>Janny started deleting crossworld threadJANNY GONNA FREAK
>>539872212Rockman and Volnutt will always be the best Megaman. That being said I think x is cool too. The list is Rockman, Volnutt, X, Battle network, and that other one I don't ever remember the name of, and finally American boxart Mega Dan.
>>539872279>If Nintendo were a real partner they would have worked together with SEGA to make a good crossoverSEGA can't even get Sonic right without their own fanbase doing the homework for them. What do you expect Nintendo to do?
>>539872047Classic Mega Man had something similar to the ride chasers, though it's a bit of a deep cut since I think it literally only showed up once.
>>539872070Reminder that Yuji Naka for sabotaging the Sonic X-treme team by not letting them use the NiGHTS engineReminder that SA1 and SA2 were built to take full advantage of the Dreamcast hardware. The palette-based "Lantern" lighting engine from Sonic Adventure was ahead of its time. Iizuka wanting something transparent and liquid since the technology now allowed it, the team came up with Chaos. They had to drop it to hit SA2 60fps on Dreamcast and SADX 60fps on GC.Reminder that Sega threw away the Sonic Adventure 1/2 engine made in Sega Katana, an SDK for the Dreamcast and gave us Renderware garbage for Heroes and Shadow because Sony demanded that Sonic has to run on PS2's emotion engineReminder that SonicNextGen was built for the Xbox 360, rushed for holiday release, and then SEGA wanted to port it to PS3's CELL and WiiReminder that Unleashed and Generations were built exclusively for the Xbox 360 and were kinoReminder that Sonic 4 and Episode 2 flopped so hard that everyone forgot about itReminder that Sega screwed themselves by making 3 mandatory sonic games on the Wii UReminder that the developers created Sonic Boom with an engine incompatible with Wii U then botched the portReminder that Sonic Mania was made by Sonic fans as a love letter to 90s Sonic that grabs the most fun parts of Sonic's gameplay into his level design, most of the frustrating moments of the original classic games can't be found here, and Sega of Japan hated it and gave us SuperStarsReminder Sonic Colors Ultimate was outsourced garbageReminder vanilla SADX PC and that Sonic modders spent over 10 years fixing the PC port for freeReminder that Unleashed and Black Knight were the last Sonic games written by Japanese writersReminder that Shadow is Iizuka's favorite Sonic Character (to the point where he wears an iced Shadow Medallion) and wanted Sonic X airing next to DBZReminder Ian Flynn only knows how to write overly self-referential stuff
>>539872279For real, how an actual sonic/mario platform crossover could work?It would make more sense to choose a more neutral game genre. Like what mario did with the rabbids.
>>539872279Nintendo is a control freak with Mario Why do you think they are going to do something interesting with Sonic?
>>539872212>people ask for x in capcom vs whatever for years>he finally makes it in a game>it's mvcimonkey's paw
>>539872278Oh, you thought the game was supposed to let you finish a stage with Knuckles. There is no real indication of that though. It's not uncommon in development to account for all cases even if they haven't decided that those cases will happen. I think dataminers recently discovered a prototype version of Team Attack Amigo that apparently shows they wanted to make the DLC like a full story for Tails to go through every stage, and they assume they would have wanted to do that with every character iirc, so maybe they were anticipating using those stage completion lines in a DLC. In the end Team Attack Amigo focuses on the most fun side characters, so ultimately I think they used their resources better when it comes to the DLC compared to the base game
>>539872585>For real, how an actual sonic/mario platform crossover could work?easy, sega chops sonic's balls off and makes him play like mario
>>539872585...Like a platformer? Just give both Sonic and Mario linear stages and it's done. Do it like an Unleashed boost/werehog or Generations Modern/Classic thing
>>539872575Sonic heroes and shadow was developed for the GameCube, in fact The game cube versions are the best versions of those games for obvious reasons.Ps2 versions were just ports, and in fact are the worst versions of those games.
>>539872608I didn't think that, I just explained that Nintendo wasn't a true partner to SEGA. They just leeched off of SA2 while they were struggling with the GC, and then they tried to leech even harder when they were struggling with the Wii U. Difference is SA2 was a Dreamcast game originally so it was already amazing.
>>539872738>...Like a platformer? Just give both Sonic and Mario linear stages and it's done. Do it like an Unleashed boost/werehog or Generations Modern/Classic thingWho creates the engine, Sega devs or Nintendo devs?
>>539872912>Who creates the engine, Sega devsjesus christ no
>>539872585>For real, how would an actual sonic/mario platform crossover work?Sloppily fuse Frontiers with Odyssey
>>539872912Sonic Team if you want an unpolished but fun game, Nintendo if you want a polished but boring game.
>>539872912>>539872971Some people are shitposting about sega making game engines but the original hedgehog engine was a marvelous creation, while one of the best engines ever created for the Olympics games was made by sega.Funny enough those olympic character models are the sonic models that had the most polygons and details on characters.
>>539872575Heroes and shadow the hedgehog were created for the GameCube, not the ps2.
Reminder what you lost
>>539872358I'd say SA2. The whole time things just feel like they get more and more dire with every move and that eggman was always one step ahead. The moon being blown up and eggman calling their fake emerald bluff were really good and both hit really hard. The ending of shadow playing everyone on Gerald's behalf was also really good
>>539872358We already agreed 2006 is the story that had the greatest escalation on things.
>>539873025the only reason people remember frontiers was the amv music
>>539873216
>>539872835This is true according to TCRF. Sonic Heroes was developed on GameCube first and ported to PS2 and Xbox. I'm actually not sure where the PS2 rumor came from. I think I first saw it on a Cult or Retro post without a source. If it is true, all it means is that multiplatform was always the final target.
>>539873348I remember it for the cyberspace stages and time attack mode, the Battle Rush mode, the open zone platforming sections (especially the New Kocos, the towers, and The Final Horizon), and messing around with the Homing Dash and the physics especially after unlocking the Spin Dash
Lemme out, faggots.
>>539872835>>539873454According to legend, Sonic Heroes was originally going to be on Gamecube and XBox only. However, Sony told SEGA the same thing they had told Capcom numerous times: “Release this on Playstation 2 or you'll never be allowed to release games on a Sony brand console ever again”. The PS2 was the dominant console that generation and being prevented from releasing titles on it could doom a company. However, SEGA was terrible at programming for the PS2. They had even produced a number of Dreamcast titles in the past that flat-out could not be done on PS2. But now, SEGA had to take a title they had already partially finished and move it from it's own proprietary engine to something that could easily be ported to all three consoles: Renderware. This sudden engine shift probably put them far behind schedule and messed up any chance to really polish the game as much as it needed to be. This caused SEGA to produce yet another sub-Adventure title.
>>539873216the only reason sticks exists in the first place because sega fucked up amy's spastic gremlin traits so bad that boom split them off into a separate character to save face
>>539873348What's up with you guys saying frontiers was bad? It had a really good gameplay while using aging the whole game lore.The only legit complaint is how is just a derivative of breath of the wild.Even the Japanese loved the game at the point it was impossible to play it on the tokio game show.The producer even won an trophy accolade for it.
>>539873495Cuck ball
>>539873495No.
>>539872358SA2 takes it for me. It's absolute cinema. S3&K is a close second
>>539873531>Release this on Playstation 2 or you'll never be allowed to release games on a Sony brand console ever againShould have told them: "Okay, bye"
>>539873556they plopped sonic into a pso map, added some sa1 and 2 stages remade with assets ripped from generations and charged $60
>>539873649If you think that would have fixed heroes your wrong. Heroes was rushed and under staffed.
>>539873531>no one remembers sonic heroes and residents evil 4 used to be gamecube exclusivesThe re4 version was the best version of the game too.They even became player's choice.
>>539873649sega couldn't afford to say no to sony money after they just got bitchslapped out of the console race
>>539873880They took stage layouts from SA2, Unleashed, and Generations. Not SA1. There are also original stage layouts>>539873912I don't think that, I think they should be told to fuck off if they give an ultimatum like that
>>5398723583&k conveys it so well, no words are necessary
>>539873964>>539873649Sonic games on Sony's consoles were always worse>Sonic Heroes>Shadow 05>Sonic 2006>Sonic Unleashed>Sonic GenerationsIt only changed when the PS4 became x86
SEX WITH MARIA!!!!
24 hours left till new game. Have you made your peace with your God yet?
>>539873953Ps2 fans making shit up for being fanboys in really common like inventing how ps2 sold shit put of nowhere, because the switch become the actual mote sold console in history >>539873556The western script is even agreed to be the best version even by the Japanese.
>>539873968And none of the original stage layouts are good
>>539873953According to Capcom, the character Leon was modeled with 10.000 polygons on the Gamecube, and on the PS2 the polygon count will be almost half of that number. By comparison, the Snake on Metal Gear Solid 3 has 4.000 polygons, 1.000 less than the PS2 RE4 Leon.The textures, that on the Gamecube were on the 24bits color standard, will be lowered to 4 or 8 bits. On the other hand, the wider and superior memory bandwidth on the Playstation 2 will allow the use of more varied textures than that used on the Cube. PS2 was always the worst console of the gen.
>>539873556It's mostly one guy angry that the game is well received.
>the ps3 was supposed to have 2 cell instead of a gpu, but then some guy from naughty dog them how retarded that was so they had to get some piece of shit from nvidia to replace the second cell Xbox 360 had both better and more sensible hardware. What was truly ahead of its time is the X360 GPU and PS3 spent the entire generation using CELL as a crutch for the shitty GPU nvidia sold them. PS3 couldn't afford to use the SPUs for logic unless you wanted the games to look like an upscaled PS2 game.Sony really learned their lesson because PS4 released with a much better GPU than the X1. Reminder Sonic 06 was WORSE on PS3.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEmth0LHS-k
>>539874197>The western script is even agreed to be the best version even by the Japanese.Why thank you, one-guy-who's-meming-this-lately.
>>539874256What are you talking about, they're fun. Especially the ones in The Final Horizon since they offer a decent challenge and have better collectibles>>539874438Japanese players criticized ONE line and this guy wants to meme that criticism to the entire game. The real issue with the Japanese version is that the cutscenes are animated for the English version and make no sense in Japanese a lot of the time
>>539874364It was well received for shallow as fuck reasons. When the next game is ass and we begin looking back to figure out why, Frontiers will be Exhibit A.
>>539874306he PlayStation 2 version, graphical effects are reduced in detail. Even more noticeably are the water, shadow, and fog effects, as well as a reduced draw distance, missing many lighting effects , abscence of all specular highlights and water effects needed to be re-designed (ripple with transparency, but a flat surface with no reflections) as the PlayStation 2 hardware does not have the same capabilities as the GameCube. Some small things were left out of the PlayStation 2 version, for instance, the barrels that Leon breaks throughout the game are missing a circular rim on the top compared to the GameCube, character model physics were also downgraded or completely removed due to the sacrificial and downgrading of model quality such as Ada's hair, Leon's back hair, Ashley's hair and Skirt being no longer animated as they were in the original game release.Additionally, almost all the GameCube's real-time cut scenes were converted into movie files in order to maintain a better quality. This results in the player's character appearing wearing their default costume, regardless of which accessories or outfits were actually chosen. Furthermore, voices and sound effects quality outside of the cut-scenes had been reduced due to disc space being quickly used and audio RAM constraints. An anamorphic 16:9 mode was implemented in the PS2 port and included in all subsequent versions of the game. This mode omits the borders of the 4:3 mode, but still renders the game in the same resolution and utilizes the TV to stretch the image. This results in blurrier graphics, more visible dithering and no additional field of view being added to the game.Also PS2 version enemies just shuffled off-screen to save on memory and had worse AI routines in general lol
>>539874306Yeah, is pretty funny how the worst console became the winner, while having the worst ports in gaming history.People pride it for its wide catalogue, but a lot of stuff was badly ported games and actual shovelware.Still the third party games made for the actual ps2 were incredible, metal gear, final fantasy and kingdoms hearts come to my mind.On that generation, the gamecube was the console that had the best assets to develop games.
>>539874569"Shallow" reasons like the gameplay being fun, allowing casuals to go at their own pace, and the physics being enjoyable to mess around with
>>539871260Didn't that timeline have Sonic Chronicles in it and also have Forces take place AFTER Frontiers for some reason?
>>539871260>>539874783Yep
>>539874687Was Frontiers your first video game?Be honest.
>>539874197>The western script is even agreed to be the best version even by the Japanese.No it wasn't. Just because they thought their script was ass didn't mean they glazed the english one.
>>539874685Really not that different from the Switch desu, trade "we have a dvd player" with "we have handheld and dock".
>>539874847My first Sonic game was Sonic Adventure DX, I played it soon after it came out on the GameCube. I had already played several games before that point, and I played many Sonic games inbetween that and Frontiers
Ok it's 1am now, so can we all go to sleep so we can talk about Sonic together in the morning? I'm getting sleepy, but I don't want to miss anything.
>>539874438>>539874495I'm pretty sure a lot of the Japanese script was criticized for not making sense a particular tails ans amy cutscene even became a meme, for how nonsensical it was.Some will always think people is trying to glaze flyyn, but for real, the flynn hateboner meme is getting old, when in fact I never said a word about flynn at all.
Say something nice about Sonic 06
>>539874967Cool, I didn't talk about Ian either. It was Tails line specifically that was criticized, and if you see the context it's clear the script was making Tails talks weirdly because he's smart and that's meant to communicate that the other characters don't understand him. But it didn't work because the grammar was weird and players made fun of that line. It's not a criticism that extends to the entire game, it's one cutscene at the start of the game and that's all there is to it
>>539873216Shitty character nobody cares about?
>>539875093Elise did nothing wrong
>>539874953ok we promise not to talk about your big bro sonic until you wake up shh everyone use spoilers to talk about sonic
>>539874953Anon, it's 10 am.
>>539874948Your lying.
>>539875093Shiruba san debut game
>>539875093Shadow's story is pretty good.
>>539875093It had an actual cool story, but people like unfairly resume it to one bad cutscene.
>>539875093It's fun for the most part, I like playing as Sonic, Tails, Omega, and Blaze. I like some of Sonic's gems. Sonic's stages are great on replays, especially the later stages, I like getting S ranks in those. I like that it has hard modes and the Team Attack Amigo DLC is cool. I like that they improved Tails controls in that DLC as well, and I find it interesting how it has its own level design style distinct from the base game. Soleanna's old town is comfy and it's fun to jump on the roofs. The story is exciting even if it doesn't always make sense, and it has some nice music. I have a lot of frustrations with the game, but it's a good time overall
Kino reflections
>>539875093it gave blaze a different hedgehog to leech off
>>539875349To think 06 has a cool story, you have to not actually pay attention to what's happening.People who like it's story usually boil the "story" down to four cutscenes in their mind.
>>539874842>Sonic Triple Trouble is now Knuckles' debut>Tails' games take place almost at the near end of the classic timeline>Still putting Sonic 4 at the end of the classic era while also having Sonic Drift and Knuckles Chaotix in the timeline>Sonic Advance happens before Sonic Adventure 2>Sonic Chronicles happens before Sonic Rush>Sonic Frontiers happens before Sonic ForcesWhat whack-ass timeline.
>>539875138I can't get over how ridiculously cute Honey is in the OG. I hate how Archie de-emphasized her cat-mouth in most drawings.
So, is anyone working on a Sonic 06 Recompile like they were with Unleashed? I'd say 06 really needs one of those.
>>539874953Alright, I should probably sleep in a bit too. See you bro!
>>539875093Is one of the few games that actually tried to use and make playable a lot of the secondary game cast.The only letdown was the chaotic were not included (take it as good or bad, depending on your opinion)It gave us silver too
>>539874842This is like that autistic guy on gamefaqs finally had a youtube video to platform his shitty ideas
>>539875093Crisis City as Sonic is an alright stage
>>539875483Now you know why I am the best!
>>539875196I'm not, and Frontiers is fun
>>539875093great level design introduce one of my favorites characters ever fantastic music
>>539874842They made three different Sonic Boom games?
>>539875485Yes, it's being worked on https://github.com/ga2mer/MarathonRecompIt's playable already, but still incomplete. This is a WIP video from 2 weeks ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4JixuGUW2M
What was wrong with Sonic Colors Ultimate again?
>>539875093It had one of the best opening/endings cutscenes on the franchise.
>>539875607One of my three favorite stages to play alongside Sonic's Kingdom Valley and Aquatic Base. Good level design
Sonic Boom has worse animation than Jimmy Neutron.
>>539875138That's cheating.>>539875183No, it's 1am where it matters (Los Angeles).>>539875491Goodnight!
sex with tails?
>>539875716Yeah and no one remembers them lol
Sonic Frontiers in the Theorist timeline.>Tails talks about how he was useless when Infinite attacked.>Sonic: "Who the hell is Infinite?">Knuckles remarks about how lonely it is to be the last echidna.>Sonic: "But what about Shade?"
So if NIGHTS is on the boxart, where's the announcement?
>>539875759what is not wrong with that mess They used Godot lmaoDon't know if they fixed it but they totally ruined the colors compared with the Wii version , saturation and even the gameplay suffers + the bugs
>>539875716Shattered Crystal was just a handheld retelling of the console game, I think.
>>539875482Yeah. Stick to /sthg/'s timelines.
>>539875887The stuff about the moon always confuse me, I remember sega making two retcons, one about sonic's world having more than one moon, while the other said, the moon crater faced on the dark side.Having two moons made more sense to me.
>>539876041if the idw girls are december then night its January
>>539875923Oh shit another Socal. Greetings from San Diego tailsbro.
>>539876115It's a completely different game.
>>539875716Most people only know about Rise of Lyric. The other two handhelds being constantly ignored reminds me of how the Rivals games are forgotten compared to 06
>>539875716>>539876115They also made Sonic Boom Dash.
>>539876192>>539876226QRD on Sonic Boom's development?
>>539876192The Rivals games get way more attention than any of the Boom games.
>>539876182But isn't Lyric treated like a new threat in both games? Or is Shattered Crystal actually a sequel?
>>539875093It's entire soundtrack is of the best sonic soundtracks ever created.
Starting a Tails in a dress folder post Tails in dresses. Both sfw and nsfw
>>539875923>it's 1am where it matters (Los Angeles).Damn americans always stealing the glory.
>>539876192fire and ice its unironically a good game and often gets forgotten funny enought it was the first gam from the 25th anniversary after it was delayedPeople also dont speak about gens or LW 3DS
>>539876150Samefag, here's the classic timeline as well.>>539875716Four if you add in Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom
>>539876150>TSR before ForcesFor the last time, it was released after Forces and has a Forces reference. And Sonic 4 can only happen unless games like Chaotix don't exist.
>>539876318Please share them with us Anon
>>539876426>has a Forces referenceWhere?
>>539876408>human body with a plastered cartoon head.Into the trash it goes, dont make my boy silver dirty with it.
>>539876318>dresshitAbsolute garbage, blobians should be ALL cartoonishly naked.
>>539876150>The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog disqualifies itselfIt's the single-best Western-made product since Mania, so I refuse, and no, I don't care about Evan's autism.
>>539876509The Forces Death Egg Robots appeared in it.
>>539876019Yes
>>539875093Silver was created thanks to that game.
>>539876579That doesn't necessarily indicate Forces is before TSR, anon.
>>539876291Shattered Crystal would be the canon game as, unlike Rise of Lyric, it is firmly placed in the Tv show canon.>>539876426TSR is before Forces as that is how Sega placed it on their official timeline.>Sonic 4 with ChaotixThat plot hole was fixed via Sonic Generation. See >>539876401 It's amazing how Sega forget that Classic Sonic is in Generations and Forces.>>539876573Blame the steam store page.
Sonic 4 has Metal Sonic's story take place after Sonic CD. So how can that game be at the end of Classic when Metal Sonic appears in Triple Trouble, Drift, and Chaotix?
>>539876150This one is wrong Replace Colors console with Colors DSDS is the canon one
>>539875093Gems are cool
>>539876797Sonic 4 was mobile shovelware
>>539876685>Blame the steam store page.Which was part of the April Fool's joke?>everything is canon*>*This is not a Sonic Team titleA super-literal reading of that WOULD DISQUALIFY EVERY NON-SONIC TEAM GAME/PRODUCT.
>>539875093Retconed blaze in a cool way
>>539874685nah, there's a ton of ports that suck dick on gamecube but are better on ps2 too. ssx, def jam, budokai, crash, true crime. it's overblown, ps2 had best games, best controller, and best support
The only way you can have Sonic 4 taking place at the end make sense if you have it that Metal Sonic was stranded on Little Planet after Mania, but then that nullifies all supplementary material that had Metal Sonic appear post-Mania.It's a mess because people are going by Sonic 4 having the Modern design when that was just a cosmetic because Sega was so anal about using the Classic one at the time. Th designs should just be ignored and just have it sometime after Sonic 3 like it originally was. Maybe Sega should just remake the game with the Classic designs and finish Episode 3.
>>539876946A literal reading of that would be to take the "everything is canon" joke seriously and ignore the note because it is not relevant (it talks about the developers, not canonicity). The sensible reading is to disregard both statements as meaningless and wait and see if later games acknowledge it or not. It is at the very least canon to IDW in a way, despite creating a continuity issue by featuring Sage before she starts to exist.
>>539874058Rouge...
there is no way murdertrannies are this patheticYour shit its as canon as Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3Just SOA garbo for april fools
>>539876808Both are canon. There's zero reason to put both on there. It'd just clutter things up more and the image is already butting heads with 4chan's size limits.>>539876946>disqualify every non-sonic team gameFunny enough, that's what Sonic Team does with all the classic games.
>>539877143You are correct, but the Modern/Classic split created so much unnecessary confusion that most people won't hear you.
>>539877251>Both are canon. There's zero reason to put both on therek thats fair then its all good
>>539876447
>>539877251How can both be canon?
Is Sonic Generations DS canon? Did Sonic defeat the Biolizard after Shadow kicked its ass?
>>539877346
>>539877251>Funny enough, that's what Sonic Team does with all the classic games.To what extent? Sonic CD's staff was not Sonic Team at all save for Naoto Ohshima.
>>539877045This post is plain fanboy fanatism
>>539877372Nothing in Colors DS actively conflicts with Colors Wii. Every event happens before the park collapses (including the fight against the Mother Wisp). Same treatment given to the 8-bit Sonic 1 & 2 games. Everything happened cause there are no conflicts.Unless you have some glaring plotholes to point out.
>>539876553Dammit Fi stop letting Sally influence you.
>>539877045>ps2 crash>goodWay to go man, your opinion can be easily discarded.
>>539877459Timey-whimy time-eating space-and-time travels means all versions of Sonic Generations are canon.

>>539877745
>>539877242Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 isn't an official game
The Chaos Emeralds and other similar macguffins are permanently removed from the story, how would story go after that?
Sonic and Tails getting the idea for sex from seeing a Sonic Chao mating with a Tails Chao
>>539877796Anon, several of those are not by Sonic Team is the point.
What exactly IS wrong about Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog being canon or placed in the timeline?
>>539877143Sonic Generations happens at the end of the (original) Classic Sonic timeline. It is there that Metal Sonic Kai is re-stranded on Little Planet. This leads into him getting recovered, again, in Sonic Mania/Sonic 4 (depending if you want to split the timeline).

>>539877813Why do women love to self-insert as the gay femboy?
>>539877242How dare you sully the good name of Sega of Virgin Islands the fallen.
>>539877943I don't make the rules here anon. Pointing out that Sonic Team's logic fails doesn't invalidate that they have the power to canonize shit. And in the case of 1,CD,2,&K, all had OG Sonic Team members directly working on them.To put it another way: Murder of Sonic the hedgehog is still not canon.
>>539877346Cute
>>539878060Women? This is about two straight males lusting after something feminine. This was made by men for men. Just like Tails
>>539878049What an odd thing for the DS version to change. Oh well, its irrelevant unless you are using this as an argument to de-canonize Colors DS.
>>539878284I think the cutscenes in the Wii version are animated after the English script, and we know from an interview that the English script was written near the end of the development after the Japanese original had already been written. My mostly baseless theory is that the DS version of that scene is based on the Japanese original, but the script change Pontac and Graff made was so fundamental that it affected the animation in a way that the Japanese script couldn't ignore, so they changed that part of the Japanese script to make sense with the English-based animation. I don't have a way to prove this though. I prefer the DS version being canon, I wish they incorporated it within Ultimate (and redid the script to match the Japanese original)
>>539877813Tails's deep dark fantasy
>>539877960That makes zero sense because Shadow and Silver weren't stranded in their designated boss areas.
>>539878139>doesn't invalidate that they have the power to canonize shit.Sega does that, not Sonic Team, and in Sega's eyes, "canon" is synonymous with "official."
>>539878517>Shadow and Silver>strandedWhere did you get this shit from?>>539878547Non-sequitur. Sonic Team = Sega

>>539880732That's autistic as hell, but whatever makes them happy I guess.
Look at this clancker
>>539881090brazilian ass motherfucker
Man this little demo was fun but I wish they didn't change the voices. Sonic sounds like someone's first Jason Griffith impression and Blaze sounds way too "girly".
>>539881910>blaze voice is "too" girlySo playing as blaze is objectively improved
>>539881910Japanese voices my nigga.
>We're finally getting a Sonic/Ninja Turtles crossover.>It's the Mutant Mayhem uggos.At least it's just for synergy. I mean an actual TMNT crossover would involve merchandise like all the other ones they had (Likely Jakks releasing two-packs consisting of Team Sonic with a corresponding turtle like the Justic League ones along with Metal Sonic with Shredder and Eggman with Krang in his robot suit if he gets used).
>>539882014No, blaze must be as dyke as possible or else she'll lose her faggot fanbase
>>539882083Not in the demo
>>539882486What? Yes it is? Should be there it's there on ps5
Everyone sleeping.
All's well that ends fucking bad lol humaniggers drowned LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Holding anon's balls.
>>539883840There should always be at least one human in every sonic game to remind people they occupy the same world. They don't even have to do anything just have them walk by and say "excuse me" and walk off screen so people can go "oh yeah humans live in that world too". Eggman just feels out of place otherwise.
>>539883840I don't know if it was how he was localized or dubbed back then, but I liked how Tails came off as a sperg who sometimes couldn't read the room despite being such a super genius.
At this point I just want human background characters out of spite for the kinds of people who kept claiming they don't fit in Sonic
>>539884140I don't know what kind of autism is pushing SoJ into muh separated worlds in not just one but 3 fucking iterations, now besides sonic X you got the movie and whatever the fuck is the post-forces sonic timeline.
>>539884283I want Blobian and Human background and main characters.Two worlds was a mistake.
>>539868341It's made clear, repeatedly, that Mephiles only came back through White Space, just like Iblis did, and that he'd return to nonexistence with Iblis once the Time Eater was destroyed.Even when he was in White Space, he was in a secret section of Shadow's White Space, locked behind a Boss Gate and in the Scepter of Darkness, he only got out long enough to get his ass kicked by Shadow and put back in the Scepter, now incapable of breaking out of it.He's gone, that was the whole point of 06's ending, Solaris, the being from which Mephiles and Iblis came from, was erased from the time and therefor never existed in the first place, meaning Mephiles and Iblis additionally never existed, confirmed by Mephiles desperately saying "I want to exist" as Shadow defeats him.
