>>569771929Amy!
KILL ANDREW SUN
I will never forgive Ohshima for putting a woman into his series
>>569772036エミーちゃんかわいい
>>569771842Halo
>>569771905The retard eyes make her less in-character in that picture than she was in >>569771745
Leftists are not welcome on /sthg/.
Amy!
>>569772234Yes they are
>>569771929>Japan Sonikku is so cool dude!>Shade wonders if he is stupid
Sonic will never as good or beloved like other western inspired japanese franchises like Resident EvilSega doesn't get it.
Favorite Amy moments in the past 5 years! Come cough em up, I ain't got all day and neither do you...
>>569772196Still?
>>569772345no one had cool moments in the past 5 years except sonic and shadow
>>569772338I get that, i still enjoy sonic related media
Reminder that octards are trannies and defend Andrew Sun.
>>569772285No they aren't. All transexuals are political extremists and child groomers.
>>569772345I clapped when Amy said "I am a strong woman, and I need NO man!" and smashed with her hammer
>>569772449even that is debateable since all they do is rehash the same old shit
>>569772425Yes anon
>>569772285>>>/pol/
>>569772345amy going on date with shadow
>>569772285Take a swim in the Willamette River
>>569771929
>>569772653Why?
>>569772790Does Shade shave?
>>569772790I wonder how sweaty she is under all that black clothing
>>569772345Does Unleashed Recomp count?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ixDQYlUxN8 Xbox Games Showcase 2026Sonic?????
>>569772285Yes, they are welcome to jump off a bridge and get doxxed
>>569772874https://youtu.be/Ix4mSNYOqRo?si=PVHQSIU31U9-KQDE
>>569772232
Was the fourth island needed? You just go from one tower to another. I enjoyed climbing the towers but it feels like they didn't deserve an island for themselves
>>569771989Its literally the opposite. People that actually liked Amy want her to be more like how she was. Its the ship-merchants that shill her Boom version.That and beckies who can't self insert and need her to be Sam Manson or AF Gwen.
>>569772196
>>569773269Whole game should have just been one island like it was originally planed. Make it just one titan too and design some actual combat for them besides the ost
Leftists ruined Amy.Leftists ruined Rouge.Leftists ruined Whisper and Tangle.
Will be creating my own template of this, since its heavily unfinished
>>569773452>ruined WhisperWas she ever good?Tangle I think had a neat design at least.
>>569773269Same, I agree
>>569773396Giganto, Wyvern and Knight are very different fights. Also, I prefer having multiple levels with completely different environments. The first three islands were good in both of those aspects, it's Rhea and Ouranous that are lacking
>>569773520Wait why is zomom specifically bad when all the deadly shits are terrible?
>>569773960Others aren't gross at least and have at least some potencial to them, like Joeadok showed, Zomom has a nasty design, garbage one-dimensional personality and is overall, just bad
>>569772036Boobs! Boobs! Boobs, she has hedgeboobs and they're boobs and she has them! Boobs! Boobs!
crazy taxi
CRAZY TAXIXBOX SHOWCASE
XBOX JUST ANNOUNCED CRAZY TAXI
>>569773957I thought the gameplay loop of getting the emeralds was starting to drag too much. I rather just collect them once per game.Super Sonic doesn't feel special at the end because of how much you used them, they tried to remedy it with 2 but eh...
>>569774217>>569774218>>569774223Oh cool
>>569774217>>569774218>>569774223The fucking Offspring song from the first game through the entire trailer was magical.
>>569774198I love big boobs on cute girls!
>>569774416Link the trailer plz
>>569773957The game was originally 3 islands as well so go figure.Last two were slapped on to pad the game out.
>>569774479https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePi8tDdKuWw
>>569774416is it just me or does the offspring vocalist in that song unironically has the same cadence as serj tankian
>>569774597>New Craxy Taxi>New JSR coming>Virtual Fighter VI>Sonic has fucking nothingHappy anniversary!
>>569774217>>569774218>>569774223>two at the same time>not even 5 seconds later for the third postI didn't know we had sega fans that were THAT hungry
>>569774217>>569774218>XboxAnother flop in coming
She bites
Virtua Fighter is an arcade franchise with no story and now it's getting an AAA video game where you go on an adventure with aged up versions of the characters in an open world like Shemmue.meanwhile Sonic games struggle to have more than 5 speaking characters anymore and are stuck with a model from 2005
Hello /sthg/
>>569775031:(
>>569773452>Leftists ruined Rouge.No that was gooners and straight shotafags.
>>569774867Makes sense when you think about it.Some of these Sega franchises have been dead for so long with mere scraps being thrown around in the form of mobile slop or kart racing additions, that anything close to an actual new game is fucking exhilarating.
>>569775031LOLLL
>>569774797June 23rd, trust the plan
>>569774797Fighting Vipers is still dead.
>>569775031Virtua Fighter is popular in Japan, and I'm sure it has it's own cast of characters and story
>>569775136This
>>569775239No one cares about FV
>>569775058Hi!
>>569774226Yeah, all titans should have been like pic related. Sonic losing all the emeralds when arriving at a new island was so forced
>>569775393c:
>>569775352People said the same thing about virtua fighter.
>>569775283>I'm sure it has it's own cast of characters and storyThe answer is yes and no. The Virtua Fighter games do have a consistent story, however none of it is present in the games themselves. In order to figure out what the story is you have to piece together whatever scraps you can find from music videos, manga, album releases, pachinko games, and the vague attract mode openings in the arcade releases.
Douge
How many times is it gonna take till someone around you hears what you say? You tried being cool you feel like a lie. You played by their rules, now it's their turn to try
>>569775642You forgot the television series
>>569774597>Gig economy simulatorBut really, I hope it and the other Sega revivals do well, the fans seem very excited
>>569775692Sick rhymes
>>569775721Yeah but that's like its own thing, the series kind of messes with some characters that make them different from the game cast, that being said the major plot beats are the same, like Sarah getting kidnapped and brainwashed by Judgement 6.
I will buy VF6 in hopes Fighting Vipers 3 gets made
>>569775874Ya ya ya ya ya!
as long as they keep the atmosphere from the game everyone loved ... if they try and explain why the taxis are crazy I'll be so pissed
>>569775283Virtua Fighter barely has a story at all. The characters have backstories and that's about it. It has an anime but it's more of a gag series that does its own thing
Cute
fired up Crazy Taxi in Flycast the other day. How on earth I used to get S-ranks I don't know
>>569774597that looks pretty good actually, i like how it keeps the wacky and fast paced vibe of the original
>>569776068Eh who cares about fighting game stories anyways. The characters were still popular regardless >>569776057Tails is so talented
WHAT THE FUCK THEY TEASED PERSONA 6
>>569774597>Crazy Taxi + Escape from the City
>>569776381i think the point is that a fighting game with 0 story is about to get the big budget cinematic experience meanwhile sonic gave that up in 2008 and sonic is sega's mascot while virtua fighter is a series barely anyone cares about
Crash died so Spyro can fly
>>569776556Again Virtua Fighter seems to be popular in Japan. Or was popular. In the 90s
>>569776068>my face when all this deep character lore dropped for the first time in a spinoff KH ripoff where all the original cast members are long dead and none of their actual storylines reached a conclusion the players would see
>>569776794VF5 is still really popular over there for some reason.
>>569774597Thanks for the link btw
>>569776462*dreamy sigh*
Boy
>>569776838It's weird that literally all virtua fighter game story content is set in the future where all the characters are old or dead
>>569776617Wait, Spyro as well? I wasn't expecting interesting announcements at a random Xbox stream, I thought for sure they'd be at State of Play or Summer Game Fest.
>>569776854Virtua Fighter is THE 3D fighting game in Japan. Quite literally every 3D fighting game that comes after it rips it off, most notably Tekken until it went full anime fighter. That being said it fell off in recent years because it hasn't had an actual new release since 2005. All the current player are old fogeys.
>>569776985that's all the Sonic shit you're gonna get
>>569776068Is this bitch just always naked
I can't believe it's Spyro's turn to beat the shit out of Sonic
>>569777037>or deadLau is my main. He's definitely going to be dead.>>569777091Yeah, it's been a hot minute. I think the last new VF content, not counting the rerelease of VF5, was some of the characters being in DoA5, and even that was fucking 14 years ago.
>>569777158I just want the aesthetic, anon. You know what I mean.
>>569777219She put on clothes in VF5 but in the VF4 era(which is what that design is based on) she was just pretty much in underwear
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frgDDdr8anI
Sonic really is Sega's redheaded stepchild, isn't it?
>>569777328>and even that was fucking 14 years ago.>DOA5 was 14 years agoJesus christ
>>569777036AND Girl. Tails is so talented!
>>569777036<3
>>569777651I feel like it wouldn't feel so awful if we didn't have to cling to it since DOA6 was such a mess. But I guess it's been a hot minute since DOA6, too.
>>569777489Oh stop it you. You'd only be complaining if there *was* something Sonic mentioned.
>>569777489Sonic is just a brand that use to secure marketing deals with more notable IPs
>>569777902Do you have any hope left for a Sonic Central?
I'm starting to believe Shadow would be a bad father
>>569777225But will that be enough to survive Activision's wrath?
>>569772036Amy!!
>>569778530They seem to have really gotten a visceral ~feel~ for crazy taxi-ing around San Fran Segatown, eh
At least SEGA is making something cool this year.
>>569778530how likely is it that Sonic will show up in some form or fashion
>>569778183Yes, but it was much higher before Summer Game Fest. I hate how they hype up the crossovers with nothing else to show Although we don't even know if there is a Sonic Central coming soon, and they never showed any substantial in any of those, probably because only Sonic fans watch them. Then again I wasn't expecting any big announcement from any company today either so I'll probably be wrong like always
Of course the one event that I didn't expect anything from sega is when they announce the game i wanted the most from them
NOW I FACE OUTI HOLD OUTI REACH OUT FOR THE TRUTH OF MY LIFE
satbk was the final sonic game
I hate nighers
>>569778530
>>569778818to me is a 100%, even if it is a tiny logo in some random sign
I want wisps to die and be vaulted from the franchise forever. Is it too much to ask?
>>569778828I noticed that the past "5 year+" anniversaries mostly served to just hype up the mainline game that would come out the following year. But I'm not even sure if we'll get anything related to Frontiers 2 this year
>>569779048This picture looks like the gloomy dystopic future that became of San Francisco
>>569779165Its cloudy, you cornball
>>569779137At this point? Yes. They are going to be around forever and I agree it fucking sucks. Then again people sucked Colors dick too much so they were likely never going to get vaulted.
Transexuality is a mental disorder. Sonic would want you to be yourself.
>>569778846We already knew they were gonna be there with P6, but I didn't expect Crazy Taxi. PC Gaming Show has some more reveals in about half an hour but I'm not expecting anything from Sega except Total War (already confirmed to be there).
>>569778153We're undeniably in the brand era. It's more soulless than the meta era. The Sonic renaissance is artificial. It's being driven by crossover slop rather than the merit of the games
>>569779005Every era has a "final" game that was supposed to send the older fanbase off to make room for the new kids but everyone was too autistic to leaveGenesisfags got Sonic 3Adventure fags got SA2Dark Age fags got SatBKMeta Era fags got Forces
>>569779152I don't think it was intentional though, more so that the games they wanted to release weren't ready yet in those years. But now I don't think it makes sense, they supposedly got higher budgets, new employees, Frontiers sold better than ever. I think they should be able to release a game this year, they've presumably had enough time and resources, and if ties in with the movie it has to release close to it, not 8 months later. Or at least this is what I thought before I saw them try to hype up the crossovers and Pico Park the other day, which makes me suspect they actually legitimately have nothing Sonic-related that's interesting for this year. But I also wasn't expecting Crazy Taxi and Persona 6 to be revealed today so who knows I guess
>>569779647So what is Frontiers the start of?
>Fatlus announced persona on a skeletonbox showcases Sure It's just a logo and it will be a game for 2028 at the earliest, but what's wrong with Sega? Nobody watches this shit
>>569779837The Flynn Era
Boy boy!
>>569779845My guess is that they blew their marketing budget on the Games Fest spaces so threw the rest onto Xbox
>>569779837a whole bunch of storylines that don't go anywhere in a stupid attempt to emulate mystery box tv shows, without even a basic understanding of sonic, video games, or mystery box tv shows
Characters that resemble this
Gigi is an ugly child groomer.
>>569779845Is Persona 6 Microsoft exclusive?
EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS TO VIRTUA FIGHTER
Girl girl
>>569780105I would also like to mention not a single "mystery box" story has been good. It's a technique solely used to string along people for years to farm engagement from them.
>>569780146>i know i'll get attention for this, but i guess it just can't be helped :shrug emoji:
>>569780108Duh>>569779963Yes
>>569779845Sega announces shit at Xbox all the time. I'm pretty sure Yakuza 8's reveal was at an Xbox Showcase.
If Knuckles is as strong as Sonic is fast doesn't that mean he can punch the planet in two
>>569780108>fiona when she goes for a casual jog
>>569780193It's Arab money. Not even kidding.
>>569780389Sonic characters constantly beat universe busters in base
I don't know what a mystery box TV show is
>>569779152Anyway... what are your expectations now? I just realized that despite all the things I said, my post basically boils down to "idk">>569780321:)
>>569780297as someone who likes lost, i saw through the engagement farming when i binged it last year
>>569780549a term coined by J.J Abrams
>>569779845cute piggy
IDW Virtua Fighter
>>569780193I like virtua fighter...
Doesn't honey have the hots for bark in virtua fighter
>>569780594Sorry it's just sometimes I have nothing to add :PI agree with you though I still have copium that we'll get SOMETHING by the end of the year
>>569780987Yeah man
>>569780987What?
>>569781043It's fine! Yeah we'll get a meaningless 10 seconds prerendered teaser that shows nothing at the Game AwardsAnyways Tails cute
no Sonic
>We got a Persona 6 reveal before the next Sonic gameDead fucking franchise.
>>569780987She crushes on a guy similar to him and also teases the MC.
>>569781289bro aren't you excited for rei ayanami in crossworlds!!!!???
>>569780987Bark isn’t in VF. Honey is from Vighting Vipers.
>>569781435We literally already have her LITERALLY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoW58DSozJIEnjoy funny Japanese meme
Sega doesn't really care about Sonic and the only reason we still get games is because the movies are doing well
>>569781251>Anyways Tails cuteTruthnuke
>>569781289>Actually believing thisWe will the new Sonic trailer this year. And the game next year. We will wait like 2 years until we hear about Persona 6 again. You have no idea how slow Fatlus is
>>569781561I grew up watching doraemon, i love it
>>569781251The cutest!
We're never getting Atlas to make a Personic game even though they definitely should because itd be kino.
Sonic could save these two and leave their universe better for itBut he only bothers to race them in go karts
>>569781692Yeah!>>569781714Same
>>569781692Fuck you, random text on a video game box added solely because some Japanese dude thought it sounded cool!
>>569781561https://youtu.be/X-ElFIp3cTM?si=eLcYpDHXlMI9bai3
>>569781778oh, a persona sonic game would be cool as shit, i think the first rpg besides chronicles
>>569780987It's this guy from Fighting Vipers, though the its ambiguous if her feelings are legit or just her teasing him. Pickey, the kid with the Pepsi skateboard, is his friend and he has a crush on Honey the Human.It a weird love triangle.
>>569781778Shut up weaboo
>>569781867It describes Sonic's character and worldview
>>569782175I still have no idea what the fuck that game is supposed to be about.
>>569782175i forgot this game was a thing
>>569782175They really didn't give AF during the WiiU era LOL
>>569782268It's Fire Emblem x SMTObviously.Don't ask questions.
I like how this general has actual segafags
This entire franchise should've DIED 20 years ago
Gameplay aside, what sonic game has the best plot? The classic games count since they do still tell a story even if no words are said if you prefer that, I am a huge fan of metal slug for that reason.
>>569782793Sa2 easily
It's over
This franchise is at the mercy of the movie schedules
>>569782595But...why?
>>569782659is that surprising? I actually love the stuff shown in the new virtua fighter. Stranger than heaven has me hooked and I have been waiting for the new golden axe, crazy taxi and jet set radio games since it got announced. I am pretty happy overall even when we barely got anything sonic related.
>>569782935The simple answer is that, despite originally being advertised as FE x SMT, the devs were actually way more interested in Persona and idol culture so made a game about that, then had to force in SMT demons and FE heroes to make it fit.Thus, pleasing neither fanbase.
>>569782895There's nothing wrong with this.
>>569782701>No Unleashed>No Black Knight>No Secret Rings>No Mania>No Generations/Shad Gens>No Colors>No FrontiersWhy would you want Sonic's last game to be 06?
>>569782895vibe coded sections in game code. which is pretty common in software development these days.
>>569782793The game that does environmental storytelling best is Sonic Colors, all the levels fit the narrative and theme of the themes of the gamem and are well contextualized. The cutscenes aren't as enjoyable though unfortunately
>>569781798Where’s all the art of the sonic girls wearing evangelion plugsuits
>>569782793I feel like I have to say SA2 because its the only Sonic plot that I have ever found engaging. Then again I was fucking ten years old when I played it.
if sonic was in evangelion third impact wouldn't even happen because he'd just inspire everyone until they were happy
finding out about scratchfags has been quite..... head scratching
>>569782895Welcome to the fake soul era of videogames
>>569782895Sounds fine unless it results in some buggy code. It specifically says it's so they can free resources for their creative staff to work.
>>569782895If it's just for programming like the other anon said, I don't mind. If they're using it to replace creative input, I find it a bit more questionable. I feel like the description is intentionally vague.
>>569782895Ai is ok as a tool, the problems start when you use it for everythingThat aside why is everything more expensive when AI was supposed to make everything cheaper?
>>569782659Sega is one of those rare brands that has a lot of cross-fandom with its properties. Probably because a lot of people grew up during the big Nintendo/Sega rivalry and ended up playing a lot of exclusives on one or the other, and then younger generations hear about all of the stuff from back then.
