a weapon select

#

like ratchet and clank

coarse ferry
#

Both Tangle and Whisper essentially already have the gameplay inspired they can easily implement in a sonic game

#

One is more very simple, while the other is I guess is as complex as Silver's?

#

Sorry Silver is the only example I can think of when it comes to sonic chars lmao

still epoch
#

man i want them in the gaaaaaames

#

they are legit, so good to have around

#

a 2d game with tangle and or whisper playable, insane thoughts

forest fractal
#

Oooooo Jet would be fun since he would have his Gear and Bashōsen fans

modest parcel
#

Hold on idw 2D game might sell bajilions

still epoch
#

IT WOULD

rugged otter
#

that's fair, Avatar being limited to one wisp made you commit to it and Whisper basically being a mix of Avatar and just Colors Sonic not being the same and all
personally it would be neat to explore a "better" Avatar for me

still epoch
#

but they are going for washed blue toy land classic sonic

forest fractal
#

Ok it wouldn’t that sell that well just cause of IDW. It’s a relatively niche part of Sonic

strange estuary
#

Yeah, I'm not sure about it being bajilions

modest parcel
#

I’m talking digital circus type movement

rugged otter
#

all this thinking makes me realize just how much sonic and his friends hold
potential

coarse ferry
#

I wouldn't say it will sold massive, but at least it will gain enough attention over the fandom

A game will def be a strong push for em

rugged otter
#

even non game characters having something that could probably be modified into a framework

still epoch
#

its just how whisper would play

coarse ferry
#

It's going to be a given 3D Sonic game will be sold the most, but an IDW inspired game will gain a lot of attention

strange estuary
prime hearth
#

late to this but it’s from one of the prototypes iirc

still epoch
#

oh ic

prime hearth
#

they prolly just grabbed the wrong rom lol

#

also been playing ristar a bit recently and it gooooooood

forest fractal
coarse ferry
#

Well no shit LMAO

#

I mean more like the locations and such

prime hearth
#

fully recommend getting a pad with a sega-style floating d-pad it changes eeeeeeverything

coarse ferry
#

At least the ones that are exclusive to IDW

modest parcel

#

(also vectorman fucking SUCKS)

rugged otter

#

Sure then

rugged otter
#

wish vectorman wasn't so frustrating yeah

#

I am the last person you want me to remember anything LMAO

rugged otter

it's a looker but killing an ant there will take an arsenal

I would assume you would at least remember Spiral Hill

Or Windmill Village

It's the only one I do remember yeah

rugged otter
#

Spyro Hill

#

My mistake

#

second one I do--

Yeah go fuck yourself

but yea then you’re immediately booted into bullet sponge zone

That map is so crunchy, it’s literally illegible

rugged otter

well yeah, it was meant for ants

forest fractal
#

Ah so that’s how 5ft people see maps

# untold kayak

All the ones mentioned in this map that are new, plus the ones that came after that like the canyon with Soleil/Lunar in the stage is set, Glass Hill, Turtleshell Island

world-map-during-the-metal-virus-by-cream-the-rabbit-v0-q4oj6fcibzjf1.png
coarse ferry
#

Something about Angel Island being at the bottom is silly and wholesome over Cream

forest fractal
#

A bunch of towns would be nice hubs but I’m not wholly sure you could make fully fledged levels that feel unique from em

Glass Hill would be interesting and we barely know Sequin as a town

untold kayak
#

And that is a game to expand upon them

#

I mean, Speed Sim did that with a zone of seasons of chaos

#

and that one was just a few pages

forest fractal
#

Well those panels already gave everything you would want to know about that stage

untold kayak

Autumn Forest Zone

Sonic-the-Hedgehog-30th-Anniversary-Special-025.png images.png
#

The other IDW locals, for the most part, have more display

#

like the entirety of issues 3 and 23 are dedicated to barricade town

#

(plus you can use attack on titan for imagery or elementsfor that one)

forest fractal
#

It’s a regular town with a wall covering it all, Barricade Town can only be interesting enoughish as a hub. There’s nothing wholly unique about the town itself, just the aforementioned barricade

coarse ferry
#

Oh classic IDW especially has a LOT of level inspired they can do

modest parcel
#

I’d love a level in that one mossy region Sonic and tails travelled thru

untold kayak
modest parcel
#

Also the Eggman City would be cool

untold kayak
#

I think they can work on these towns and make them fully fleshed out into levels

modest parcel
#

Lots of cool eggman locations in idw

forest fractal
#

Ah Eggperial City would be dope, too bad it blew up

modest parcel
#

But even then you can make so many more

#

And interconnect them with the established towns

untold kayak
#

yeah, idw establishes that eggman has many bases

#

some left behind by the doctor

#

so it is easy to excuse that he made another one of similar looks

modest parcel
#

Spiral hill might as well be the comics station square by this point

#

Just from how much of a touchstone it is for everyone now

forest fractal
modest parcel
#

Nah

#

Spiral hill is home base for the chars themselves

untold kayak
#

Karakura town is to Spiral Hill as Restoration HQ is to Soul Society

feelthegenuinespeed

forest fractal
#

It’s Tangle and Jewel’s home town. We’ve been there like what four or five times? When we first met Tangle, been there when Whisper visited, revisited during MV and then for the post MV party?

We’re talking Spiral Hill tho?

I got confused due to Fiery's question about Seaside City

#

It’s pretty cool that idw does like the games and avoids nondescript locations most of the time

#

Lots of genuinely cool looking or notable locations mentioned and used thru the adventures

#

They could have just gone the nostalgia bait route, so the effort is pretty cool to see

coarse ferry
#

Honestly shows the capability of this series over the fans

#

Where they tend to be very creative by making their own levels/areas

grand cobalt
smoky summit
#

The lack of momentum in their jumps😭

#

Why are there so many posts here considering there's literally nothing new

#

😭

grand cobalt
#

we like talking to each other

smoky summit
#

Without the time stones?

rugged otter

we do it the way intended, with no robot generators

wide portal
strange estuary
#

That's a long time

untold kayak
pulsar horizon
#

At most it’s Crossworlds DLC

coarse ferry
#

yeah

#

I feel like they want the next 3D Sonic game being shown in a far bigger event

pulsar horizon
#

I kinda do think it’ll be the Nick DLC this time and one free character

untold kayak
#

I think that, at the bare minimum

#

will be Megaman's release date

past matrix
#

I really think that mainline is being saved for a sonic central man.
A first teaser at least.

grand cobalt
#

why would they do that again 😭

past matrix
#

It just makes the most sense to me on them wanting to show it on their ground/platform, in the 35th anniversary year more so.

#

But ofc, there'd have to be accompanying news of other things for there to be a central

grand cobalt
#

then it makes more sense for something in the vein of the 25th anniversary party rather than a central

prime hearth
#

have u seen a sonic central lately

past matrix
#

Which, I don't know how much they got in store but apparently they have a long-form plan so maybe.

grand cobalt
#

centrals have always been small scale and don’t get nearly as much attention as sonic showing up at other bigger events

prime hearth
#

those things are full of tat and shite it is not built for an actual good game reveal lol

past matrix
#

I'm just talking a TEASER

prime hearth
#

"mmmm yes do we announce frontiers 2 before or after the legoland promo" like come on

grand cobalt
#

the racing spin off was teased at tga

past matrix
#

We don't need to drop a 30 second cg teaser at some big event

strange estuary
#

I don't believe they'd show off the first teaser at a Sonic Central

grand cobalt
#

they did it before

past matrix
#

Cause fuck that crossworlds game awards teaser

#

Could've been an email

grand cobalt
#

besides isn’t the assumption that the frontiers teaser was only part of the central instead of something like sxsw because of the pandemic

past matrix
#

If not a central than idfk summer games fest, I refuse to believe a state of play is the place or game awards.

grand cobalt
#

it could be either of the latter but not a central i’d say

prime hearth
grand cobalt
#

again, that’s less eyes

past matrix
#

If I'm wrong, then I'm forsaking EVERYBODY

grand cobalt
#

you get your big sonic games at centrals after they’re revealed

#

like the shitty squid trailer

#

and the shadow gens story trailer

prime hearth
#

only way I could see them doing a central is if they did a "special" central that was literally just for the reveal and nothing else

#

like, literally building it up beforehand as "this is where we are revealing in full the next game"

grand cobalt
#

I think they’ll do a 35th central but be prepared for it to be 80% brand collabs and merch

prime hearth
#

but thats actual smart thinking and they need to sell more touys so

coarse ferry
#

I doubt they'll do a Sonic Central just to tease it

#

SGF is a far better choice because it brings much bigger attention

prime hearth
smoky summit
#

I don't think "at most Crossworlds" makes sense

#

I feel like it's at least Crossworlds

prime hearth
#

I would be very surprised if no crossworlds

grand cobalt
#

are you guys ready for akira billy hatcher travel pass

prime hearth
#

at the very least I'm expecting the next lot of free characters since after tangle/whisper we're in the dark

coarse ferry
#

Yeah I don't think it'll be just Crossworld

grand cobalt
#

I do

#

!

coarse ferry
#

I can see other SEGA info while Sonic 3D will be in SGF

prime hearth
coarse ferry
#

Nah I'll be all hype over Alis lmao

grand cobalt
#

does billy hatcher even have a cult following like nights

strange estuary
#

Maybe to a smaller degree

prime hearth
#

ehhhhhhhhh

#

maybe somewhere but def v niche in comparison

coarse ferry
#

Billy Hatcher is just..... there

#

That's about it

#

Even if you go by Sonic Team standards

prime hearth
#

my guesses for free characters are beat jsr, someone from streets of rage and lego sonic for that sweet sweet brand moolah

grand cobalt
#

i feel like we’re all forgetting that classic sonic is inevitably coming tbh

prime hearth
#

they always go big on the lego advertising even though they release barely any sets each wave lol

#

I dread to think how much of the theme is marketing budget, how are you roping in so many people for two sets every 6-8 months

coarse ferry
#

Classic Sonic is a given but I don't think he'll be shown until 35th anniversary showcase or whatnot

prime hearth
#

classic sonic is 100% dropping in june

#

calling it now

coarse ferry
#

Oh no doubt

#

It's June or bust

prime hearth
#

directly on the anniversary

coarse ferry
#

Altho it's going to be focused over superstar considering the stage

prime hearth
#

oh june 23rd falls on a sunday so it'd be directly in the line of fire for a festival too, sorted

#

easiest bet in the world

Avatar is next yeah

Especially since they changed plans to release it on P+ I’m sure Paramount wants as many eyes on ATLA as possible

prime hearth
#

I'm glad mega man is next so I can immediately stop caring about the pass afterwards

#

the same way the last free dlc showcase ended with sonic characters, this next free dlc showcase will end with a sonic character

pulsar horizon
#

I’m just curious on Aang’s 3D design

#

It’s been hit and miss for me

dawn pumice
#

Who give af about avatar and Mutant Mayhem TMNT

grand cobalt
#

I still think it’s cool to see the animations for characters I don’t care about

#

that’s how it was with ichiban tbh

prime hearth
#

the track for TMNT could be fun but I am fully checked out when it comes to avatar lol

#

gentrified anime ass

grand cobalt
#

is avatar good or not

dawn pumice
#

Na like I fw anime

dawn pumice
#

I personally don’t like it at all

grand cobalt
#

ofc the sonic server is the first time im encountering people who slander avatar

#

im half joking, but im at the very least interested in seeing the style

untold kayak
#

though watching it in Latin Spanish dub is kind of weird

#

since most of the Sonic X (Dub) cast is there

dawn pumice
#

I’m just salty on avatar in crossworlds cuz

A) paramount don’t need that many slots
B) outta all the franchises they chose that 😭

untold kayak
#

so prepare to have the journey protagonized by Chris

#

with Sonic and Chuck trying to kill him

strange estuary
dawn pumice
#

I like mutant mayhem

untold kayak

Should have not been the one to represent TMNT tho

I find it crazy how the worst collab we got so far is SpongeBob, but even then it's fine for the most part

grand cobalt
#

I think we saw a mega rough version of the avatar one though

dawn pumice
#

Ya we did

#

Honestly

#

I…kinda don’t fw it???

#

These whole “element bending” gates just seem like set pieces than anything else

grand cobalt
#

I mean I don’t know how the track design or bending gimmick will complement each other yet

dawn pumice
#

Ya

pulsar horizon
#

Rep for each avatar we followed

#

Real question is what sfx are they gonna use for Avatar and TMNT

dawn pumice
#

Bending noises and sewer noises

pulsar horizon
#

How do you do sewer noises

dawn pumice
#

Sewer water

pulsar horizon
#

Wouldn’t that just be water then

#

Maybe instead do like weapon sfx for each turtle?

#

Then a different element for Avatar (ex: Aang has wind, Korra has water, Pavi has Earth)

dawn pumice
#

Na hol up im cooking with the sewage noises

prime hearth
pulsar horizon
#

That’s his adult design idk what to tell ya

grand cobalt

ewww

#

sega has FORGOTTEN about ichibans hair

pulsar horizon
prime hearth
#

mmmmm I dunno about that in practice

#

steel pipe sfx

#

I think its just gonna be generic weapon shing sounds

#

nothing too flashy but enough to get the job done

strange estuary
#

Speaking of this

#

Do we think T&W will have fully fleshed voice lines?

grand cobalt
prime hearth
#

no cos they only have english VAs thus far

#

they'd have to dub em in every language and I think thats where the kicker lies

pulsar horizon
#

Maybe in the future

prime hearth
#

I think by the next time we see em in a game they'll get the full voice treatment, yeah

I suppose the case files is good enough for the time being

I’ve seen their posts @hybrid hill

If I remember

#

They legit used to post concept art for movies not even out

Most of their stuff too has been right if I recall

I’ve seen them a few times, but the most prominent I’ve seen him was him talking about a Crash Bandicoot movie

#

In regards to Tobe’s comment, I’d take keeping a track record of the date of things that they’ve gotten specific information about in lead up to official word or showcase of said projects.

#

compared to a 100th fucking 4chan ‘leak’, and paywalled, fairly obvious assuming, daniel.

#

and again, it helps (in my opinion) that prior to this they haven’t been knee deep in sonic stuff/have an history of catering to sonic fans like Daniel & a few others.

#

Regardless though, I get if it seems a bit random though.

humble drum

#

They've posted things about as ridiculous as what Daniel posts (Smash Bros movie, Metroid movie) so it's not like they don't have a tendency to post fakes

dawn pumice

With Daniel he just piggybacks and paywalls that shit

past matrix
dawn pumice

If I recall scooper doesn’t post stuff unless he knows something about it?

I definitely see them planning a smash movie, but that’s literal years away

There’s def talks about it

Yes it is lol

it literally cannot be avoided I think.

smoky summit

I don't think those are insane, but I think it's important to be mindful

dawn pumice

It def is

But calling a smash bros movie insane is kinda weird

#

I think smash bros movie is both insane and not insane

insane in actually getting it done but not in planning to do one

dawn pumice

Especially if it’s just the core Nintendo

smoky summit

These people probably get "scoops" from the same sources

past matrix
#

Now if one them came out and said some shit like “sonic 4 is gonna end with a tease to a smash bros movie” then you’ve lost me.

modest parcel
#

It's on par with Daniel rumors

#

None of Daniel's rumors are insane

dawn pumice
#

Daniel’s rumors are just the sky is blue bs

modest parcel
#

They're just fake af and pretty blatant about it

smoky summit
#

The problem with a lot of "leakers" is that if they are not 100% reliable, they are simply unreliable and you can never take for granted what they say

dawn pumice
#

Silver is in the 5th movie

smoky summit
#

Especially when making broad claims

dawn pumice
#

Wow such a shocker

smoky summit
#

They can garner freebie credibility

dawn pumice

Look all I’m saying is I’m not immediately dismissing them like Daniel cuz a smash bros movie was briefly talked upon

modest parcel
dawn pumice
#

I’m not fully believing them either, but it’s at least more trustworthy than Daniel or ur everyday 4chan leak

modest parcel
#

We haven't even heard any meaningful information from them lol, this is just in reference to them being posted

No matter of belief when it's just waffling

wise chasm
#

But also, like, what V the Scooper is saying in regards sonc isn't...new or anything fully noteworthy

modest parcel
#

Technically Daniel gets better plausible deniability since v scooper actually attempts to weigh in on the rumors they post, like the moment the Crash Bandicoot animated show rumors were floating about

wise chasm
#

Like yeah, they'll be releasing stuff in correlation with the movies whenever they can and vice versa

modest parcel
#

They're cut from the same cloth, stating things that are "obvious" to some people hoping for them, but largely are just attempting to cover as wide a range of topics as they can to try and find some that stick

#

The mario leak from 2022 for v scooper does look legit, but they immediately followed it up with inaccurate details in 2023

#

I chalk that up to them having that one legit leak, then bullshitting the rest of the way

They said they want to push sales so I kind of expect something more from the updates, without thinking too much, but I also doubt that's it, it is the anniversary, I guess something will be revealed later this year and will release eventually

I also doubt Fadel is trolling us, and knows when news will be announced, he is involved by SEGA with Sonic and fan hype, but unless the event is really soon, I don't believe he knows when

Dissapointment I get, more so for SEGA for announcing all those projects and if you're more of a SEGA fan than solely a sonic fan, being pissed that you aren't seeing ONE of the multiple games they said they had in development is something I understand.

#

But Sonic has been CRUISING for the most part, and I don't think that's coming to an halt on his anniversary year.

stiff salmon

I mean sure it's been a while and yeah they could show some stuff (.) But idk, if they don"t think it's worth showing then it's their problem. As long as a game isn't announced to be cancelled then what the fuck ever

So I guess we can count Total Wars and with P4R and possible Sonic game, that leaves 1 left?

wise chasm

No, what I mean is there's a lot more variables than people think

Cuz there's Persona, there's Yakuza, Sonic, Total War, Football Manager

#

They could also count Stranger than Heaven if they want to be funny

#

Maybe Virtua Fighter too

coarse ferry
#

I guess could count Virtua Fighter, but probably have nothing to do with Yakuza involvement if they wanted to push it as a major IP

toxic vapor
#

It'd be hilarious if Frontiers 2 did get announced in Feburary

raw osprey
#

one of the games is gonan be total war

#

dont know about the rest tho

toxic vapor
#

Sega kind of shot themselves in the foot doing something this risky

raw osprey
#

one of them is def gonna be sonic spin off

toxic vapor
#

They've been working on these giga mega games for years and years

raw osprey
#

but atp i dont know when expect it

toxic vapor
#

And we've only gotten like Shinobi?

#

Hyenas got cancelled so ggs

raw osprey
#

again ive expect announcement at SoP because for the last 2 years they plan was always 9-10 month marketing window

toxic vapor
#

Hell I'd argue like, the big TGA Game Awards reveal barely even got massive buzz or traction

raw osprey
#

and i wasnt thought about june because last time they had 4 months window marketing it was superatrs and it launch sales was weak

toxic vapor
#

It just showed very early, jank looking builds of their revival games, no one really cared other than Sega buffs because the general gaming public probably doesn't care about Golden Axe anymore

raw osprey
#

but i guess they changing something?

toxic vapor
#

And then everything sort of fizzled out with all the projected games getting delayed

Sega might be fucked if the triple A Crazy Taxi battle royal game either burns or releases and no one cares to play it

It's just hard what to even expect SEGA at this point. Sonic is at least a given to be in June but at the same time there may be chance it won't be Frontiers 2

raw osprey

Like yes Sega I will be hyped for your Unreal Engine 5 looking ahh game revivals and Shinobi!

While with them skipping conference 3 times, we couldn't even tell what other SEGA games may happened and it's just becoming even more frustrating

With no updates on the progress for most of those games after 3 years

No one would want to invest in all that ngl

they market thsi game pretty decent overall and its really good but 2 days before release they got hit with silksong release date announcement

silksong kinda fucked it over tbh

they cant even delay the game

I know this sounds like a very "I only play Sonic games" ass take but I hate that the only indie platformer shit that is accepted by most general gamers are like hard dash obstacle coursed + with metrovania influence ahh indie games

stiff salmon
toxic vapor
#

Kind of learnt a lot of people hate acceleration based platformers

actually why is this convo in here 😭

And you can see with how Hollow Knight or Celeste is popular and Freedom Planet, whilst still being successful, doesn't really break through anywhere other than that niche

I'm not saying you're wrong

I just find it funny

not for nothing but learning that people dont like acceleration based platformers NOW its crazy

#

that feels like it should have been something known, for a while

wise chasm
#

I mean, for one, Hollow Knight is a metroidvania

#

But also yeah, it's kind of easier for people to get into a game where the general control is more set in stone because it's easier to gauge where and how you fucked up

raw osprey
wise chasm
#

I don't know if using steamcharts for a single-player game is worth it after a week

raw osprey
#

but 100K+ copies on PC is not bad all things considered i guess

#

single player games are def not gonna beat their peak but you can see how online increases after sale

coarse ferry
#

I feel like it didn't help are the long term sales is that after Shinobi came out, it barely move anything

#

It may be a worse affect of whenever Crazy Taxi nor JSR comes out despite huge amount of budget

raw osprey
#

btw now that i checking crossworlds on steam
even tho we didnt have any festivals in january game still has higher average player count than in december

wheat kindle
#

also because we got the elite online event

#

I also can see that people are anxious to see the next game, but if SEGA skipped TGA and State of Play (which revealed SXSG and gameplay of CW) it means whatever they want to show is not ready

#

Superstars was announced in June on SGF without hints before and released on October, so... anything is possible, whatever they have will be shown later and will release when it's ready (hopefully)

All three games are, from the studio’s perspective, meant to be major leaps beyond their previous entries, with groundbreaking innovation & aiming to compete with the biggest releases of their time. Haven’t heard much yet but I’m figuring out how to share the crumbs I have
