he could never have aura…

still epoch
#

Does anyone else think marios lips since sunshine were really weird

#

Mario doesnt need visible lips

grand cobalt
#

he looks pretty kissable

past matrix
#

I like em

#

Just adds more roundness/softness to an already round character.

still epoch
#

But he already looked round and soft with just the mustache

past matrix
#

Nuh uh

grand cobalt
#

can we talk about mario renders from now on I hate this blue thing

hybrid hill
#

alright well

grand cobalt
hybrid hill
#

i think the mid 2000s renders were awesome

#

i hate odyssey era renders

#

the movie looks better than odyssey imo IdkWhatToCallThisEmote

grand cobalt
#

was mario party 6 cooking

hybrid hill
#

why he got ai generated fingers 😭

cunning echo
raw osprey
#

its so tuff

strange estuary
#

Man, I like when they know how to make the model look good

#

Can they start doing renders like these for the rest of the cast too?

silent haven
#

for the 45th

strange estuary
#

Shucks

#

I still want them to try something new for the in-game models

still epoch
#

I think they legit cannot make amy look good

#

The most we have is tsr amy

#

Idk why she looks great compared to other renders

#

Good lord

#

The render budget went down for crossworlds

cunning echo
#

idk

#

I kinda prefer the second one

#

😭

mint umbra
#

yeah bc marza did the TSR renders

#

ST did crossworlds 😭

strange estuary
#

I've seen some really good Amy fan renders

#

It's a shame

still epoch
#

A little bit quirky

strange estuary
#

It's okay to be quirky

still epoch
#

It is

#

I love quirky people

cunning echo
still epoch
cunning echo
#

the story renders is still better

still epoch
#

Well yes

#

It has a textured mouth

mint umbra
cunning echo
#

they all have their charm

dawn pumice
#

I fw these renders

#

Especially sonic

cunning echo
#

tails does look a little ugly

hybrid hill
silent haven
#

i like sonic though i wish his quills weren’t so weirdly angled down

#

best knuckles has ever looked though imo

hybrid hill
#

sonic team can do tenders ⁉️

#

renders

strange estuary
#

Tenders

mint umbra
#

they do like

#

all of the boring looking renders

#

all the stock stuff

#

all of the renders with the regular "sonic render lighting" you can probably already recognize

#

anytime the lighting is like

#

good

cunning echo
mint umbra
#

thats prob marza doing the renders

dawn pumice
mint umbra
hybrid hill
#

GRRRR

dawn pumice
#

👍 sonic be like

mint umbra
hybrid hill
#

WHERE IS THE ONE WAY DREAM angey

strange estuary
#

Maybe Sonic Team should just stop rendering

cunning echo
silent haven
#

are the olympic renders by nintendo or am i crazy

hybrid hill
#

I pray not

mint umbra
#

no theyre by marza too

hybrid hill
#

This would only feed to the Nintendo agendo

mint umbra
#

marza actually often does renders for nintendo games in general

strange estuary
#

Are there genuinely any impressive renders made by ST?

mint umbra
#

like, non sonic ones

dawn pumice
#

Ya Marza also worked on Mario kart 8 deluxe renders

cunning echo
#

nintendo never did anything for the olympics

#

😭

hybrid hill
#

all they did was pocket the money and gave sonic team 3 bucks

dawn pumice
#

Uhhh would the anniversary ones count?

hybrid hill
cunning echo
#

like sonic anniversary?

dawn pumice
silent haven
#

the one with the cake everyone gases up

strange estuary
#

Well, it's good... but not particularly impressive

hybrid hill
cunning echo
#

but him

dawn pumice
#

Look at that arm joint

strange estuary
#

He twisted his elbow

cunning echo
#

short quill king 🔥

hybrid hill
#

Nothing special

dawn pumice
#

I think it’s a good 8/10

hybrid hill
#

Appealing to my eyes

dawn pumice
#

Best we’ve seen in awhile

hybrid hill
#

And I need sonic renders to look cool

dawn pumice
#

Ya i like how it also tries to replicate some 2D stuff

cunning echo
#

I think this one is more than just a 10/10

dawn pumice
#

Especially the quills

modest parcel
hybrid hill
mint umbra
hybrid hill
#

paper mario renders 😭😭😭😭😭😭

mint umbra
#

not the renders, like

#

the ingame lighting

#

for paper mario

hybrid hill
#

Ik it was just funny

mint umbra
#

for the environments and stuff

hybrid hill
#

I was imagining paper mario renders like

#

Cartoon, movie

silent haven
#

modern paper mario fans be like yo this stapler render fucking sucks

hybrid hill
dawn pumice
#

They worked on pocket???

mint umbra
#

apperantly on

#

1 card

#

😭

hybrid hill
#

yo so like

#

can they work on sonic again

#

they were ours first

mint umbra
#

they did work on crossworlds

#

they did the key art

#

so like

#

the main art of everyone in a car and stuff

dawn pumice
#

Hmmm

mint umbra
#

but not the individual renders

dawn pumice
#

Not bad

hybrid hill
#

yeah but nidio

#

I would like some more

#

Because im fat and greedy

mint umbra
#

they also supervised the CG ads and intro, but didn't animate it

dawn pumice
#

Shirogumi is a pretty good replacement ngl

hybrid hill
#

You know speaking of CG

#

that launch trailer was genuinely incredible

dawn pumice
#

Also ngl I kinda fw with the other cgi studio doing some cgi

silent haven
#

i think i still fw hardlight sonic most of all

hybrid hill
#

I really think it could be my favorite CG thing from the racing games

dawn pumice
hybrid hill
#

And arguably from the franchise

hybrid hill
#

The action and cinematography was incredible

dawn pumice
#

Like

cunning echo
#

I love this one

dawn pumice
#

This is so fucking sick to me

mint umbra
#

oh yeah aside from a few weird quirks, that launch trailer looked incredible

dawn pumice
#

The environment Art on this is absolutely crazy

hybrid hill
dawn pumice
#

Same

cunning echo
hybrid hill
#

But the movement and everything else at the end

dawn pumice
mint umbra
#

which is weird

hybrid hill
#

oh yea I remember that 😭😭

mint umbra
#

especially in 3D

#

like you have to intentionally break the model to do that in 3D 😭

hybrid hill
#

what is the name of that studio btw

#

is the shadow gens launch trailer their first go at sonic

raw osprey
mint umbra
#

shadow gens i believe had a different studio

#

crossworlds was apperantly shirogumi?

#

but shadow gens was another studio

raw osprey
#

also yea i think with crossworlds marza only worked on 2 key arts and that one mullar with collab characters?

cunning echo
dawn pumice
#

Na shirogumi is the only that looks like Marza

modest parcel
cunning echo
#

the one from release trailer is lunar

dawn pumice
#

The other studio worked on the launch on both shadow and crossworlds

strange estuary
dawn pumice
#

Ya lunar

cunning echo
#

Lunar also made the mcLaren one

dawn pumice
#

PEAK????

hybrid hill
#

Lunar made the McLaren one??

mint umbra
#

right, yeah

#

lunar

modest parcel
hybrid hill
#

I thought it was someone else

dawn pumice
#

Ok get Lunar on the damn animation team jfc

strange estuary
#

The Super Sonic render in CW's character selection screen stands out to me

mint umbra
#

which also looked pretty nice but yea not as nice as the launch trailer

cunning echo
#

the only thing with lunar is that they're models or idk if its the shading, looks like is made ingame

raw osprey
hybrid hill
#

I can't tell what's going on in that image 💀

modest parcel
dawn pumice
#

I think if sega needs someone to replicate that Marza style they would get shirogumi

raw osprey
hybrid hill
#

Oh

mint umbra
#

actually yeah i think i read that another studio did the mclaren ad?

modest parcel
#

Lunar does have some nice CG but they uh

#

Have a lot of "moments"

mint umbra
#

not 100% sure im gonna have to check

#

uh

raw osprey
#

also i need to give props to marza thsi key art is really sick

hybrid hill
strange estuary
#

The fact you have to unlock this key art in the game is kind of a crime...

hybrid hill
#

Look at my Sonic bruh

raw osprey
modest parcel
raw osprey
#

for sonic i mean

mint umbra
#

i do need marza to be the main studio on a sonic cinematic again though man

#

last time was what

modest parcel
mint umbra
#

forces CG?

modest parcel
#

It's not their first work

raw osprey
#

oh yeah

#

what their other work

#

?

hybrid hill
#

Isn’t it crazy how the best animated thing to come frontiers marketing was that 30 second teaser 😭

raw osprey
#

like i think crossworlds opening is really good looking

mint umbra
#

I think shirogumi is fine, but they do like

#

Similar work to low-end marza stuff

#

Like

#

LW or Gens intros

hybrid hill
#

I think Marza excels so much more in animation

mint umbra
#

Yeah

stiff salmon
raw osprey
#

well i dont think forces teaser was that great looking honestly

mint umbra
stiff salmon
#

i think

hybrid hill
#

The CG they’ve done in Colors, LW, Gens makes sonic look so mesmerizing to watch

raw osprey
#

like theyre LW,gens stuff yea its really good

mint umbra
#

They weren't the main studio on any of the CG cinematics/trailers for it

hybrid hill
#

Like hedgehog can move !!!

raw osprey
#

but forces one idk man

smoky summit
stiff salmon
mint umbra
#

No, shirogumi

stiff salmon
#

damn wtf

raw osprey
#

it was supervised by marza i think?

mint umbra
#

Same with TSR

stiff salmon
#

it was supervised

modest parcel
stiff salmon
#

from what i recall

mint umbra
#

Yeah marza supervises ALL sonic CG

hybrid hill
#

TSR was shirogumi?

mint umbra
#

Yes

hybrid hill
#

Not surprised

raw osprey
hybrid hill
#

It moves similar to CW

smoky summit
#

Idk why but for some reason all of Marza's work goes into promo stuff

#

It like

smoky summit
#

Never makes it to the game

mint umbra
#

Apparently marza did have a hand with frontiers cutscene animation actually

smoky summit
#

Oh

#

Which ones

#

👀

mint umbra
#

Not the main studio but apparently they worked on ingame events

raw osprey
mint umbra
raw osprey
#

because i do not liked how shadow gens launch trailer looked

#

it was really stiff

mint umbra
#

I'd kill to get an actual list of the animators and artists who worked on each thing lmao

strange estuary
raw osprey
#

crossworlds is a lot better even tho it has wonky expressions

smoky summit
#

Did we ever find out why like... Sonic Team all of the sudden going from barely being able to animate anything and then when a titan shows up the animation just goes up by like 5 points

hybrid hill
mint umbra
#

Get me environments done by lunar and character animation by marza staff vecort

smoky summit
#

And then all of Shadow Gens lmao

raw osprey
#

it sucks that marza made like what 2 key arts and 5 renders for crossworlds?

smoky summit
#

Having the best/most consistent animation in the series

mint umbra
raw osprey
#

wth man its nothing

smoky summit
#

Where did that come from

hybrid hill
mint umbra
#

That did the cutscene animation for this game

#

Was their first time on sonic

stiff salmon
raw osprey
#

keep them

stiff salmon
#

nvm keep em on

raw osprey
#

keep this mfs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hybrid hill
mint umbra
stiff salmon
#

OH

modest parcel
#

Tms?!?!

hybrid hill
#

Dude that screenshot was so small I read it as Tim Jinni’s

#

😭

mint umbra
#

Apparently they do the Baki CGI

raw osprey
#

can they send this dudes to atlus they also need good animators fast!!!!!!!!!!

prime hearth
# modest parcel

guess lunar’s the one that deserves big props for the blatant speed racer movie nod then, based

mint umbra
#

Also they did sega hard girls

smoky summit
#

I mean I don't blame them stacks of muscles on a tight deadline trying to make it look 2D

#

But still

hybrid hill
#

this is my one piece...

#

my lost media,,,,

smoky summit
mint umbra
#

Most of their credits are just anime CG

hybrid hill
smoky summit
#

I can buy it but I thought people already did

mint umbra
#

Which is probably just not a good place to showcase their skills bc that stuff will always 100% of the time have the tightest deadline

hybrid hill
#

nobody translated it or bought it up

raw osprey
smoky summit
#

Well do you have the link

hybrid hill
#

yea one sex

#

sec

smoky summit
#

Are we sure though? I could have sworn people showcased this

hybrid hill
#

well

#

there was a previous cgworld mag that talked about shadow gens

#

and that was translated

smoky summit
#

So this was really never shown in full?

#

It's 1500 yen

raw osprey
smoky summit
#

Like 10 bucks

#

I'll get it on kindle once I'm off work

silent haven
smoky summit
#

Just remind me

silent haven
#

all steam trading cards have big art

raw osprey
#

oh can you send me

silent haven
#

gimme a sec yea

smoky summit
silent haven
mint umbra
raw osprey
# silent haven

man i know its probably very hard and takes a lot of resources to make renders for all 50+ characters

hybrid hill
#

let me double check @smoky summit

raw osprey
#

but like why cant we have this quality

mint umbra
#

theres BTS material from shadow gens, but its mostly from an article for the jp autodesk maya site

modest parcel
#

Astroseed covered the Sonic Movie portion of the issue

raw osprey
#

and we left with shitty renders with basic lighting that used in game

modest parcel
#

But the Shadow Gens portion remains unscanned outside of that first pace as far as I can tell

silent haven
#

tbfffff
in this case i guess it’s for the dlc’s sake
easier to do it in-house then have to outsource them every time i guess?

raw osprey
#

yea ig

#

just sucks

hybrid hill
#

did we get a translation for this one

#

i think we did but im not sure

mint umbra
#

normal map sonic my beloved

#

can we get him as an actual skin in a game

#

just pink/purple sonic

silent haven
hybrid hill
raw osprey
#

we did

mint umbra
#

yeah that looks familiar

raw osprey
#

but it was google translated i think

hybrid hill
#

i remember someone posting a whole thread with the translation but i cant find it

raw osprey
#

yea i was the one who were posting it here

#

i remember

hybrid hill
#

lol i found the whole thing 😭

hybrid hill
#

have this sonic guys

#

last chance to look at me hector

mint umbra
#

crazy how images from a 2008 magazine about unleashed look like

#

the same 😭

raw osprey
# hybrid hill have this sonic guys

me when i see frontiers 2 trailer but this fucking model still alive and he looks at me the last fucking time before twitter blows up with discource

cunning echo
#

Shadow gens cutscenes are nicd

#

Only problem is that the motion capture is really noticeable which kinda ruins it

#

Most of the cutscenes with Maria and Gerald make shadow have the mascot suit feeling

hybrid hill
mint umbra
#

what the fuck lah is real???

hybrid hill
#

I think it was fine for the most part

raw osprey
#

it was good honestly

cunning echo
#

For María and Gerald it was fine but for Shadow looks weird to me

strange estuary
#

I was surprised to know they used motion capture. I can see it after being informed about it, but I couldn't notice it before

raw osprey
#

i feel like they still touch up shadow it this cutscenes because he still has this charm ig?

hybrid hill
#

Shadow Gens imo has the best character acting in a Sonic game, I think the mocap being somewhat spread out makes it pretty grounded

mint umbra
#

wish we had these images in higher quality

strange estuary
#

The motion capture was heavily touched up, so we thankfully don't get anything like Unleashed or '06

hybrid hill
mint umbra
#

yeah

#

night of the werehog magazine scans

raw osprey
mint umbra
#

the marza sonic head fur material...

mint umbra
#

the marza sonic UV map...

#

and this is like

#

MARZA marza sonic

#

the unleashed marza sonic made by marza

#

not the sonic team sonic model marza used after this...

hybrid hill
#

could this even be replicated?

mint umbra
#

i mean

cunning echo
mint umbra
#

yeah

#

the marza sonic rig controls...

cunning echo
#

Compare it to the scenes where black doom appears or even when shadow sees maria from the distance

mint umbra
#

yeah the mocap is pretty jarring

#

would rather it be kept to humans only

#

that or like

mint umbra
#

strap a very very heavy weight to the actor's head so that the movement matches the character proportions 😭

cunning echo
#

It can also just be but is like his quills wobble a lot more in the mocap scenes

#

Maybe it is just the head movement

mint umbra
#

I think the mocap cutscenes use physics for his quills compared to other cutscenes that are hand animated which just hand animate the quills

#

Though iirc the gif you posted is from a hand animated cutscene

cunning echo
#

The game has quill physics

mint umbra
#

Yeah but I think the hand animated cutscenes might not be using that?

#

Maybe they are idk

cunning echo
#

Maybe? I dunno

#

But is prolly using it since a lot of his animation don't move his quills

mint umbra
#

I do have a feeling that the team that did shadow gens cutscenes might return for frontiers 2

#

Mainly bc I think its gonna have a few more humans and TMS jinnis seemingly has mocap equipment and stuff

stiff salmon
smoky summit
#

What happened

hybrid hill
#

Nope

smoky summit
#

Alrighty then

hybrid hill
#

last CGWorld related thing I’ve seen folks talk about was vol 321

#

Which has been translated

#

There was a maya article with all those unreal engine test anims

#

But nothing on vol 325 aside from that first page I sent

cunning echo
#

😔

smoky summit
#

Alright I'll grab it later today

however that unleashed remaster..

#

hmm

silent haven
#

the major details are definitely uhh... something but i think the core idea of game held off until 27 and remaster/crossworlds DLC focus this year makes more sense after TGA

essentially crossworlds and if it holds, that unleashed remaster is buying em time

guys please pay me money for my insider scoops

#

I may have some intel 👀

#

lets just say, if you're a fan of sonic and of acclaimed actor/comedian adam sandler, you may wanna see my latest membership posts on patreon 😉

rugged otter
#

hmmm this is quite tempting

#

but does adam sandler feature a new model

rugged otter

oh no I meant adam sandler's model, I hope they make sure to get the muzzle curve right

I thout that was Boom Adam

#

hope we won't be seeing classic adam sandler, quills too short for my liking..

safe hull
#

Was sad we didn't see Unnamed Sequel to Sandler Frontiers at TGA

#

Was told all will be revealed

#

Guessing Geoff just has a bad taste in comedy actors...

rugged otter

I think he fucking hates him and is out to get him

which is why I will be writing geoff a strongly worded doc

dude they need to bring in nights

we are NAWT getting this at the state of play 😂😂😂😂

still epoch
#

Hi am i missing something

grand cobalt
#

the latest cope is that if frontiers 2 is at the state of play it’ll be a 2026 game and if not it’s 2027

silent haven
#

i mean…..

#

going off the past couple years that just. makes sense?
next big gaming thing after that is summer games fest which is halfway through the year unless they decide to break the trend and announce it at a direct or something

grand cobalt
#

there’s always the secret third option

still epoch
#

Doesnt anyone think that to announce sonic frontiers 2 at a freaking SoP

#

Is kinda wack

#

I am gonna go for 35th party in june

#

And the only reason why maybe some sonic fans dont like to think about it its cuz its too late in their heads

wise chasm
#

Yeah, reveal at SoP would be really wack for a mainline game

#

so uhhh

still epoch
#

SoP is just not the thing for it

wise chasm
#

see you in June (or at Sonic Central, whichever comes first)

still epoch
#

I get people want it asap

#

But again, 35th anniversary

#

They are gonna do some event for it

silent haven
fossil echo
#

If the game gets announced in June, its a 2027 game and at that point dont show it to me, wait for tga. I would rather not go through the same radio silence for 6 months thing they did with forces and frontiers

still epoch
#

It could be a 2026 game

#

shrug

wise chasm
#

time to get used to that, considering bigger games have multiple years of silence nowadays

coarse ferry
#

^

#

Or even tease a game and gets release even several years later

fossil echo
still epoch
#

I mean i was thinking that they could just do the modern nintendo thing if announcing games 6 months prior to release

coarse ferry
#

I feel like that's the better call

#

My problem with a lot of companies is constantly teasing a game and we have to wait over a year

fossil echo
coarse ferry
#

Showing a game and then wait for like 6 months later is a much better pace

fossil echo
#

Hell they even gave crossworlds the mainline treatment and marketed it around the whole year

raw osprey
raw osprey
wise chasm
#

no, they teased a new game (without a name) at a Central

#

then properly announced and showcased it at TGA

past matrix
#

That and a central was relevant

#

It was their grounds.

raw osprey
fossil echo
#

What if they just do an early central

hybrid hill
#

no mainline game this year

#

go home everybody

raw osprey
#

but tbf even if they announce frontiers 2 i think its gonna be early to release than frontiers

fossil echo
#

Held off from doing one this year to push it into early next year

raw osprey
#

because i remember iizuka said they teased frontiers too early

#

like when that central teaser trailer released they did not even have final name for it

#

they create frontiers name 3 weeks before tga 2021 i think

fossil echo
#

November 8 they trademarked it but two weeks earlier there was a consumer survey floating around that leaked the name sonic frontiers

wise chasm
#

if the next mainline was at TGA, I would've still been in 2026 camp, but it not being there makes me think it's a 2027 title with maybe a smaller title in 2026 to fill the time

fossil echo
#

Yeah

wise chasm
#

Or the worst case scenario is they're just coasting on Crossworlds DLC for the year

still epoch
#

That is absurd

wise chasm
#

it'd make sense

still epoch
#

No it wouldnt lol

fossil echo
#

I def dont think its just crossworlds, I think they have a side project in development

wise chasm
#

they have 2 GaaS games to satiate people well enough

silent haven
#

‘that is absurd’ and it’s just the same thing they’ve been doing for years

fossil echo
#

Something sxsg/superstars scale

still epoch
#

What thing

#

The two gaas games going through the whole 35th anniversary?

silent haven
#

announcing a game and giving it more than 6 months of marketing

still epoch
#

Oh

wise chasm
#

wouldn't be the most surprising thing if they just go "yeah we'll just be pushing more content into the forever games we have rn to fill time"

still epoch
#

I just dont think so at all

past matrix
#

For a 35th anniversary year, that they've stated they have a plan for, along with the fact that they've been fairly consistent with new projects varying in sizes; I don't see a world where we're solely going off of crossworlds.

fossil echo
#

Rumble, crossworlds and uhhhh official sonic blitz release and maybe a side game this year

still epoch
#

Or rumble

#

The whole of 35th happens and there is nothing but crossworlds and rumble announcements? What the hell

wise chasm
#

I didn't say announcements

#

I said releases

still epoch
#

Hm

wise chasm
#

Or maybe I didn't say that, but I meant releases

still epoch
#

Okay then lol

fossil echo
#

If we're getting a side title this year, we'll hear about it in jan/Feb. If not, pack it up til June maybe its another classic game

still epoch
#

I mean sure, i dont think the radio silence would be too big either
Also who knows if the game is actually releasing at the end of the year 2027 it could be close to sonic 4

fossil echo
#

Sxsg got its trailer jan 31, crossworlds was feb 12

#

Be back in February

#

That's it

still epoch
#

Right

fossil echo
#

And if not

#

June

silent haven
#

this is partially just me throwing shit at the wall and being optimistic but imo if frontiers 2 is 2027 i could see them doing fixed up HD adventure rereleases or unleashed port this year

(2010 HD adventure rereleases because it’d probably be easier to just fix the glaring issues there over remaking them entirely and SA2 turns 25, unleashed port over heroes bc it likely would need a remake because of renderware)

stiff salmon
cunning echo
#

I do see them announcing it at a state of play 😭

#

Just because of crossword and shadow gens being revealed there

wise chasm
#

They're not mainline titles

cunning echo
#

For sure

lavish iron
ember junco
#

I feel like the only way we get Frontiers 2 next year is 2 options

#

Either early State of Play announcement

#

Or they have the Sonic Central this year early since there wasn’t one for 2025

#

If it ain’t announced by February or March I don’t think we’re getting it next year and we’ll get smth else like a collection

lavish iron
#

It’ll obviously be in June

ember junco
#

Idk to me that sounds way too late announce smth

#

Like the only game that was announced like that recently was Superstars

#

And that’s Superstars it ain’t exactly a big hitter game like a 3D Sonic

#

Like it doesn’t have the same kinda depth to the game like a Frontiers or Shadow Gens

still epoch
#

I will guess june event with 2 games

raw ether
#

or SGF

still epoch
#

Or that yea

#

i forgot about SGF

loud zinc
#

Fuck Geoff events

raw ether
#

Let me guess:

  • The money allegedly needed to be shelled out to secure a spot.
  • Emphasis on dark / gritty / space / FPS games.
  • Almost nothing from already-established studios.

Do those three reasons ring a bell?

are there any leakers with names that aren't known to post bs by this point

I think if you've managed to survive the gauntlet of being a known leaker on established forum platforms, you're probably in the clear
