Sonic Discussion

It’s prime reruns

Since I’ve been replaying Frontiers and it’s alternate story, I wanted to comment on some things:

Amy plays nice, she has multiple jumps and a hover ability, she uses her hammer only during special attacks, her regular attacks involve tarot cards, and I gotta say ever since it was discovered in the Sonic CD manual that she likes doing tarot card readings they’ve really gone out of the way to make that her character more so. It reminds me of when the new seasons of SpongeBob turned Sandy into a scientist even though only one episode in season 1 said she was.

It’s great playing Knuckles again, been so long since I’ve played him in a 3D Sonic game. Gliding is good, and it can be powered up which makes him move crazy fast. He climbs walls way faster then in the older games, and unfortunately it’s restricted to just the green and red ones. He also has no digging ability, though he can still do the plummeting move.

Tails works the way he usually does, his attack is just throwing wrenches at enemies which is kinda hilarious. It was also mind blowing to see the Cyclone return after all these years, and just like Knuckles super glide it practically breaks the game, getting around the island is a breeze with this.

Lastly everyone can use the spin dash, and let me tell you since it’s been unlocked, it has made things so much better.

Can it be argued that Sage is one of the more well written Characters in recent Memory of the Sonic Franchise? (Unlike someone like Infinite, what a massive Waste of Potential that was…)

because I can be a big stupid sometimes did the new sonic movie come out yet?

@harasha456
Not yet, it’s out on the 20th

I agree Sage is well written, and the father daughter relationship she and Eggman have is really sweet. Makes me hope she returns for future games, also waiting for her inclusion in the Forces App game.

New Sonic Racing announced for next year

Shadow will be in it

There is a short made in the style of Rankin/Bass in which Team Sonic saves Christmas. It’s a pretty amusing watch.

Also I didn’t realize the Generations DLC wasn’t just the movie skin for Shadow, but also a stage based on the upcoming movie. This technically would also be the first time in an official Sonic game where a level takes place in the real world and not a fictional location based on the real world.

SONIC 3’ director Jeff Fowler tells us that The Black Doom was never planned to appear in the film.

“For the purposes of telling a more grounded version for this film, it felt like Black Doom was maybe a little too much.”

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
If it’s not like the First Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Game or even All-Stars Racing Transformed, I most likely won’t buy it personally.

@Background Pony #DE63
Same here.

@Blissful690
Ah you seem to not have enjoyed anything post Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing & All-Stars Racing Transformed then either, why’s that just curious mhm. :)

I just don’t really like the “team” aspect of Team Sonic Racing.

@Blissful690
That was absolutely one of the Main Reasons for me aswell why I just didn’t care for it quickly, so hopefully the next upcoming Racing Game will be somewhat like the First All-Stars Racing or even Transformed were or like I said no Money from me XD

@northern haste
A more grounded film, with animal alien people in it?

I guess Doom would be hard to incorporate so soon, but I wouldn’t mind him in an upcoming Shadow miniseries… Though, I’m sure they’ll just get another one shot human villain like the Knuckles series.

Still enjoy playing Sonic CD from time to time, certainly the OST is helping the Enjoyment Factor aswell! :) (Cosmic Eternity is one of my Favorites honestly, obviously Sonic Boom etc. are up there too)

This artist’s concept for Movie Metal Sonic’s design.

Just got back from Sonic 3. Spoilers obviously:

I loved it!!!! This movie thankfully lived up to my expectations! So much of Adventure 2’s plot was incorporated into the film, and while they took some liberties I think they still pulled it off great.
The flashback scenes of Shadow and Maria were so precious and perfectly captured their relationship. Gerald while portrayed as kooky still kept his motivations the same, wanting to destroy humanity for what they did to Maria. Sonic’s arc was done nicely as he planned to use the Chaos Emeralds for vengeance because Shadow potentially almost killed Tom. Both Sonic and Shadow have an epic battle in their super forms Dragon Ball Z style, and as you’d expect they work together to stop the eclipse canon from destroying Earth. Sadly there is no Biolizard, but we do get an army of GUN swatbots like in SA2, oh and best part: THEY F@#%ING PLAYED LIVE & LEARN! (and the credits said it was performed by Crush 40).

The movie has a lot of heart, lots of funny moments, especially regarding Robotnik’s relationship with Agent Stone, I liked the music choices (We got songs such as Wouldn’t It Be Nice by Beach Boys and Firestarter by Prodigy, as well as a few actual jingles from the Sonic games) cast is great as always, the marketing made it look like Rachael and Randall were gonna be part of the film but it was instead disguises Tails made for Tom & Maddie, Wade makes a brief appearance guarding the Master Emerald because Knuckles put him in charge (which I don’t know if that’s because of the events of the Knuckles show or not). And lastly all the references jam packed into the movie.
There’s also little moments I loved, the Wachowskis destracking Sonic with a race so they could set up his surprise party which is actually something Generations could have done. I liked that part of the moon gets destroyed not as an intimidation factor but because they were trying to steer the ship away from the planet. They of course had Sonic & Shadow do the SA2 pose. Both Robotniks fight using nanotech with Gerald as a scorpion and Ivo as a praying mantis (which could be a reference to the mantis Badnik). The Chao Garden being a popular kids restaurant in Japan. And finally the credits which just like the Run It music video was done using graphics like out of Sega Saturn.

Just saw Sonic 3! Totally work calling in sick to work for!

Found a video where Somebody gave the cast a ugly sonic popcorn bucket

I still couldn’t believe they added that line into the movie.

@Dr_Osaka
Unfortunate though that no Michael Jackson Reference in some Shape or Form was in the Movie, I guess doing anything MJ-related would be too Expensive. :o

@Dr_Osaka
actually peak cinema.

@Background Pony #DE63
Or perhaps because his reputation has been hit lately because of…you-know-what.

One thing I can’t get over is that Sony almost did these movies (because Neal Moritz got the film rights while he was based there and then took them with him when he jumped ship to Paramount) and I shudder to think how they could’ve ruined them like they ruined Spider-Man.
