Can you believe it guys...!

dawn pumice

Who wants to make a bet

strange estuary
#

Not me

#

I'll just go in not fully expecting anything to play safe

#real???

Dude says player controller like it's a 2022 Triplejaz youtube Sonic Frontiers trailer commentary video

toxic vapor

#

Question

#

Do you believe this is real?

toxic vapor
#

No lmao

#

But it lines up with basic ideas I've heard

#

It sounds very standard

smoky summit
#

Good

#

It lines up with baseless rumors and stuff Kishimoto was told since 2023 lmao

cunning echo
#

actually tobe

#

nevermind...

dawn pumice
#

That name is god fucking awful

#

Sonic Eclipse

dawn pumice
#

God looking at this leak

#

This kinda makes me even more mad 😭

#

If all of this was true I’d be kinda pissed

#

shadow’s bum ass is here
Ew

islands surround the area
Double ew

combat is mostly entirely gone it’s just how u approach them
Worst fucking mistake they can make ngl

sick bobcat
#

I mean
I'd love an original Sonic and Shadow game, though it will suck if Tails, Knuckles and Amy are unlockable characters , depends on how they do it I guess

dawn pumice
#

Na I don’t need shadow’s greedy ass in this game 😭

smoky summit
#

Lmao

dawn pumice
#

Man got a whole year + a solo game

smoky summit
#

You're gonna 180 on that so hard if he shows up

dawn pumice
#

Bum can lay off the cake for a bit

dawn pumice
#

I’m ngl I prob will

#

But his ass don’t need to be here if it’s true

smoky summit
#

You right, he needs to get his own game again the year after

sick bobcat
#

I was under the impression Year of Shadow was setting him up to be a main character again

#

going forward

#

I call it when I see it and “cyloop but it’s wind this time” sounds like something sonictwt would make up

Please confirm the DC x Sonic leaks...

glossy sphinx
dawn pumice
#

If sonic is at TGA

glossy sphinx
#

dumbest bet ever

dawn pumice
#

I just gotta think what the stakes gotta be

dawn pumice
#

Imma just find it funny if it ain’t there

#

Got a weird gut feeling

#

Feel like they’d show it off in an early central next year

glossy sphinx
dawn pumice
#

I did

#

And we got crossworlds

#

😭

glossy sphinx
#

peeeaaak.

glossy sphinx
dawn pumice
#

I feel like if we were gonna get some information, they start off the year with having a central, having a party announcement in the central and teasing the next game at the end

#

With more information at a party

glossy sphinx
#

interesting

#

very unique theory I suppose

dawn pumice
#

I just wanna doubt 😭

glossy sphinx
#

I can tell

#

that's where we differ...

frosty sequoia
dawn pumice
#

Don’t know that’s what I’m stuck on vectorRunners

frosty sequoia
#

Understandable

#

Do yall think like a dc x sonic year 2 trailer could happen

#

Or more shit’s just gonna be listed on stores randomly

untold kayak
frosty sequoia
#

yea

#

maybe just a shadow drop thing

#

on the sonic youtube

#

Hmmm

#

Idk, this sounds like an extremely standard leak other than the concept of a Sonic & Shadow game

Good morning whats up

#

Final month is here 🗿

still epoch
#

Woo

strange estuary
#

Another 4chan leak is up

loud zinc
strange estuary
#

Freeze already posted

#

It's nothing really interesting

past matrix
#

The problem with these 4chan 'leaks' is that they come off to fan catering to an point, which makes me not want to believe them.

dawn pumice
coarse ferry
#

If I see yet again another sonic vs shadow I’m gonna skedaddled

past matrix
#

Fiery just going through their phase, dw

still epoch
#

It makes too much sense for shadow to be a big part of the next game lol

strange estuary
prime hearth
# stiff salmon

sonic fans SHOCKED and APPALLED that the popular character is popular and thus gets more focus

#

it’s almost as if the concept of supply and demand is a real thing!!

safe hull
coarse ferry
#

I expect Shadow to be in the next one anyways, but I wanted SEGA to properly use the char instead of "Oh hey Sonic is causing trouble again, time to fight him" fiasco

safe hull
#

They will find love

still epoch
#

Id love if this was finally a story where they have to work together in a more hands on way

strange estuary
#

I just don't believe Shadow will be integral to the story/gameplay if he appears

still epoch
#

I dont either

#

But sega is also drowning in shadow money rn

#

So whos to say

strange estuary
#

Having a Shadow DLC seems more realistic to me

still epoch
#

Could it be this obvious

#

Or are they gonna vary

#

Like to me Shadow focus feels Too Obvious

strange estuary
#

This leak doesn't have anything else noteworthy

still epoch
#

Oh i know i am not even talking about the leak

#

But it did remind me like “oh yea shadow” lmao

dusty osprey
#

Put him in

#

If it dont i dont care

dawn pumice
#

My ass don’t give a shit about how i approach the enemy, i wanna have both vecort

dusty osprey
still epoch
#

They could actually

dusty osprey
#

The last game shadow was in , was retconning him to secretly be the most important guy there.

We are in the age of "if hes there hes solving the problem secretly"

#

This a criticism of how sega writes these characters btw if this isnt clear

#

A bunch of yall still making that shadow sandwich though.

silent haven
#

happens in one game
THIS IS THE NEW NORM

strange estuary
#

I won't believe he'll play an integral role for this game specifically, I think it's a much more likely possibility for future games

stiff salmon
#

if the 35th anniversary logo is to go by and involves the chaos emeralds shadow will def be involved somehow

dusty osprey
#

It happened in the last cartoon
It happened in the comic book just now
It also happened in the game shadow was in before, forces.

But also that game in particular is generations. Generations is despite is flaws a very beloved sonic game. Hence the repackaging. And in that repackaging shadow is explicitly framed as the guy solving other types of problems and explicitly above the rivalry.
This is a game they really wanted people to play to know the character.

But also i lied, this isnt a new status quo. This is the old status quo. This is the status quo before he mostly dissapeared in the meta era. The meta era was the new status quo for him. He has litterally always been "solving other problems guy" since battle.

dusty osprey
#

So shrugs could be anything

strange estuary
#

It is possible, but I'm commenting on the likeliness of it

sick bobcat
#

100% Shadow will be the first character mod if he isn't in Frontiers 2

glossy sphinx
#

so basically another sonic frontiers incident

coarse ferry
#

similar but far bigger considering nowadays

sick bobcat
dusty osprey
#

That said i'm an enthusiast and the general audience isn't as... interested in exploration as you or I

Like in terms of getting attention

it’d be awesome if nothing happened here for the next 9 days

That would not be awesome

Sonic Exclipse will be revealed in 12 months and 9 days #trusttheprocess

why did they misspell eclipse

are they stupid

This is a funny ass reaction image

sick bobcat
#

my expectations for Sonic appearances
TGA > State of Play > Sonic Central

glossy sphinx
#

we're pretty lucky to have SoP on our sides now

toxic vapor
glossy sphinx
#

I wouldn't mind if we got another... "IGN First" as long as they play the game better, and actually edit the gameplay well

toxic vapor
#

Shadow Gens had the story trailer and that was chill but most of its marketing was elsewhere

#

Same for Superstars and Frontiers

#

Frontiers had its first teaser wait nevermind

glossy sphinx
#

oh I thought they were giving a timeline prediction for the future trailers

toxic vapor
#

They were probably

#

But we didn't even have a Central this year

#

Which was crazy

glossy sphinx
#

tbf the 35th anniversary is coming up

#

I think a central is pretty likely

toxic vapor
#

Sonic Central's lowkey useless bruh

#

5 minute lego ad and MAYBE something good

glossy sphinx
#

type shit

toxic vapor
#

But like remember Frontiers hype season where they had all that gameplay on IGN First and like a minute trailer showing fucking Squid of all things

glossy sphinx
#

sonic X DC wave 2 announcement wahoooo

toxic vapor
#

Which is a quickstep ahh boss fight

glossy sphinx
#

W marketing

toxic vapor
#

Lowkey Frontiers marketing was kind of a W in a way cause it being so flip floppy is what made people intrigued

#

But when I said that I was called slurs by TC so idk

glossy sphinx
#

valid

toxic vapor
#

Nah but lowkey Frontiers 1's wait but me more hungry for info especially since it was new

#

Superstars had an amazing announcement then like sleeper marketing

sick bobcat
toxic vapor
#

Cause they knew showing more music would've made people panic bruh

#

Shadow Gens marketing was glazed as being good but lowkey like, that game is so goofy

#

When I go on Twitch, I see like Twitch streams of 20-30 viewers at a time whilst Shadow Gens has like 8 lmao

#

Similar daily peaks but that all time peak diff...

#

#killboost #stagnatestheseries #killthatshit

#

"frontiers has the boost" sybubu

glossy sphinx
#

maybe kishimoto was cooking when he tried to shake shit up with frontiers

#

maybe he'll do that again

#

who possibly knows

#

we'll see what they have in store type shit

toxic vapor
#

lost world 2 but good??

toxic vapor
# glossy sphinx

What % chance do you think we have for Game Awards announcement?

glossy sphinx
#

80%

raw osprey
#

game is like 3 years old but still selling really well

raw osprey
toxic vapor
#

It's like the only game outside Adventure 1 that allows you to control Sonic in 360 movement in an open environemnt

#

That inherently resonates with the general public lmaoo

#

Why Odyssey & 64 is preferred over 3D World or 3D Land lol

glossy sphinx
toxic vapor
#

Unleashed has slow ass movement in the larger hubs and the stage hubs that control like shit

glossy sphinx
#

true!

#

that's the only thing that came to mind

toxic vapor
#

Sonic Jam actually but it's a Saturn compilation game extra lmao

#

Honestly even Adventure I wouldn't really count

glossy sphinx
#

my man takes leaps

toxic vapor
#

Frontiers is the only open world Sonic game that really forces it as apart of the gameplay loop

raw osprey
toxic vapor
#

Shadow Gens you need to go A to B in the hub and it has side stuff, but it still largely doesn't have a "collect thing to progress in the game"

#

It's still level gates

raw osprey
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fair

toxic vapor
#

Shadow Generations is also shorter & slower & has worse combat

#

Less content overall (for better in a lot of ways but still)

#

Appeals less to the general public

glossy sphinx
#

brutal

raw osprey
#

just be a 7/10 janky game shadow gens

dawn pumice
toxic vapor

#

Trust the process

dawn pumice
#

Cuz I don’t wanna get leaked for TGA since imma be there in person, I’m sadly gonna have to mute this channel and might go afk til then, if something leaks just spam dm me so I can avoid it. Thanks yall vecort

lunar trench
#

Unleashed and frontiers have combat but shadow gens nah

#

So i wouldn't compare the two

raw osprey
#

well it isnt combat in traditional sense

#

but i would call it combat

strange estuary
#

Even if it is combat, it's clear the game takes it in another direction

lunar trench
#

Yeah of course

lunar trench
raw osprey
#

well no

lunar trench
#

Hmn

#

...

raw osprey
#

because dif boost games did not use homing attack in a way shadow gens does it

wise chasm
#

I joke btw, I'm just trying to be one of those people that does say a lot of Sonic games have combat when most of the time that's not a thing

strange estuary
#

Like what games?

lunar trench
#

I'd argue 06 has combat

#

maybe heroes but idk

raw osprey
wise chasm
#

Heroes is called "combat-heavy" a lot of the time, Shadow 05, Sonic 06

strange estuary
#

I mean, Shadow very obviously has an emphasis on combat

#

Heroes too

raw osprey
strange estuary
#

But they're not typical games

raw osprey
#

like its clearly combat

#

again they even added bosses in last act of radical highway

lunar trench
#

Hmm... yeah okay i can see it

strange estuary
#

Actually, when I think about it... I think you could say SxSG has combat. There's quite a few enemies who can take more than a hit

#

Just barely, though

still epoch
#

Are we there yet

lunar trench
#

not yet

smoky summit
silent haven
grand cobalt
#

wouldn’t sa1 be more in line to use

#

even then……

coarse ferry
#

Well they are old games so it makes sense

#

If they gotten a remake both of them will get far more attention

strange estuary
#

Didn't SA2 reach that new all-time peak with the help of the movie?

untold kayak
#

Neither Superstars has a Lot of people

cunning echo
#

Yikes

#

I forgot this game had that low player count

grand cobalt
#

and now we relearn why using steamdb for single player platformers is meaningless

strange estuary
#

How about Frontiers

cunning echo
#

Is also 10 am lmao

#

Too early to play games

strange estuary
lunar trench
cunning echo
#

Some people use it but it doesn't work for anything cuz is only steam

untold kayak
#

I just checked it out of mere curiosity

silent haven
lunar trench
#

Was listening to the og i'm here and i had forgotten how rough the transition after the first chorus was

coarse ferry
#

Yeah the main thing is that sonic games recently are in multiple consoles, so using steam as the basis just wouldn't work

strange estuary
#

Sometimes you guys are goofballs

lunar trench
#

Sometimes ?

grand cobalt
#

too many of you are backtracking now i know one of yall are lying

coarse ferry
#

I just don't really believe Steam is the result of the game's status

#

People even use this over crossworld claiming the game is dead so why should I believe?

cunning echo
#

What do we gain from looking at it anyway 😭

untold kayak
#

In this case nothing other than throwing down an agenda post

cunning echo
#

It only helps a lil to see if it did good in release but after it not so much

strange estuary
#

I wonder what I could do now that I know 30 people have Superstars booted up in their devices

cunning echo
#

😭

cunning echo
#

Lol

#

I don't think people remember the game

lunar trench
#

Dead

strange estuary
#

Looking at these counts is kinda funny

smoky summit
#

Some of these games do say better on other consoles

safe hull
humble drum
wide portal
#

so, that potential Weeknd collab

#

I wonder if that could be a major indication for like

#

The general overall stylistic direction for the game

#

or if it’s a different project altogether

past matrix
#

maybe

cunning echo
#

sonic movie 4

past matrix
#

maybe to that as well

wide portal
#

That’s a little far out

cunning echo
#

no? 😭

past matrix
#

I don’t really know how that process goes in terms of a song tie-in for the films

wide portal
#

Tie-in songs don’t get revealed until like, a few months before release

past matrix
#

they could do them in advance, or right on the upcoming heels of release; but considering that they have to make music videos and stuff, it probably isn’t a stretch for the work flow to have a good chunk of time beforehand.

wide portal
#

Weeknd being on movie 4 means he’d be a big part of the actual soundtrack

#

Maybe he’s following behind the trail of Daft Punk vectorRunners

past matrix
#

Like tron?

cunning echo
#

it could be teasing a collab

lunar trench
#

Sonic frontiers 2 × the weeknd 🥹

cunning echo
#

you guys forget the first movie song was made with Juice Wrld

#

lol

past matrix
wide portal
#

Yeah but teasing it THIS far in advance would be weird

cunning echo
#

they already recording next year so everything is in talks rn

lunar trench
cunning echo
# verbal tundra I don’t remember seeing Juice wrld near sonic

I recently just heard this song by juice wlrd and knowing that this was the original theme song for the first sonic movie is insane but it was scrapped because the rapper juice wlrd died back in 2019 which is a shame I would have loved this song played at the end of the first sonic movie instead of speed me up. But eh either way I tried my best ...

▶ Play video

the song is ok

but is unfinished so make sense

#

go back to the sonic lobby and glaze amy or somethin

The Weeknd for a Sonic Movie would be neat and fitting enough

The Weeknd for a game would be, uh, interesting I guess?

#

In regards to like, being a black pop star, the Weeknd is up there as one of the biggest

#

same as Michael

past matrix
#

that’s why I really need this for either project, or any sonic project really

cunning echo
#

I would say Bruno mars is on top of him

wise chasm
#

Yeah, I just wonder if he'd be, uh, fitting for more than 1 song I guess

cunning echo
#

but he is still pretty popular

lunar trench
#

Run it best sonic movie credit song 🥹

cunning echo
#

is a good song

#

but kid cudi did it better

past matrix

I don’t want another Jelly Roll, and I’ve been yearning for more black artistic talent integrated into this franchise recently.

You wanna count Kid Cudi in the knuckles show?

#

something needs to be done about Jelly Roll

My main curiosity with the Abe stuff is the possibility that, if this IS a collab (25% chance these are just innocuous posts), it could be a hint for the game’s general Vibes

stiff salmon

We are talking about gameplay?

#

Honestly i wish we didnt have the double jump anymore, not in the way it is

I wish it looked cooler at least

past matrix
strange estuary
#

Remove double jump and make Drop Dash stronger

wise chasm
#

Add triple jump actually

past matrix

#

Amy gets quad jump

See the thing is if the comparison point he’s using is MJ x Sonic, then i do think it’s closer scale to the nature of that collaboration

I think I’d only want him for the opening theme but it’s sonic so I will gladly see what he’s capable of

Bigger question than just a potential Weeknd involvement, the potential Weeknd collaborators

I’d give every musician / artist a chance

#

MJ had other people working alongside him for contributions to Sonic 3’s OST as well

wise chasm
#

My reasoning is that, while Frontiers has been more mellow, the OST overall was still overall more loud and bombastic, harsh and "active"

#

so who would be the Weeknd’s Team Heroes

Listening to his music, he gives a heavy 90s vibe to it

Something I kind of don't get out of Weeknd, at least the more recent output

For the movie he makes more sense, but in a "he's a popular musician, let's pick him up"

You don't see him in the background of the cutscene where the world's energy is drained 🤔

I mean there was no reason for Knux to ditch Amy, that’s not really him. As flimsy of an excuse, sticking around so that there isn’t any more trouble for the other animals around is fine enough plus he gets to sass Sonic about it too.
