Sonic Leaks, Rumours & Speculation

[untold kayak]

when Giggex had way more spread out works

[stiff salmon]

yeah

giggex hightlighted dark beginnings

and the IGN live thing is making me feel something's very off

animated series led by flynn + stanley that immediately kicks off frontwos's plot

[silent haven]

award winning animation related to an extremely popular franchise

i don’t know if we should be looking too deep into this 😭

[stiff salmon]

they also have TMNT which got nominated too

so that's why the alarm bells are kinda going off rn 😭

[untold kayak]

They also worked on a feature film

not sure if it is popular admittedly

but they do have something of big leagues on their back

[silent haven]

even if they are working on something sonic (which isn’t exactly unlikely i’ll admit)
assuming the job listing is related, that work period feels way too short for it to be anything except another web animation

[dawn pumice]

It’s just gonna be an animation for the next game

But

I do believe it’ll be like a 3-4 15 min episode series

[cunning echo]

Animation for this year...sonic frontiers 2 is this year...

[dawn pumice]

I’m also gonna say it’s gonna be the nuttiest animation they’ve done

[silent haven]

knuckles prologue but shadow is there now

[cunning echo]

Episode sage

[sick bobcat]

Frontiers DE gets a new animation

[autumn yacht]

there's no way they'll make animation that long

[coarse ferry]

I think there is a good chance they will

Ever since SXSG they have been consistently slowly increasing their budget and with the next game being a far bigger scaled, no doubt they'll push it much harder than both SXSG and Frontiers

[ember junco]

They’re gonna do an animation for the Episode Metal new side story lock in

[stiff salmon]

you think they'll remake the prologue?

[coarse ferry]

I see no reason

[dawn pumice]

They ain’t gonna do anything for the frontiers de

[coarse ferry]

Even if they do why will they change anything over Prologue if people highly praised it?

[strange estuary]

Why would they do that

[stiff salmon]

i dont believe they'll do it but

this is sega

[coarse ferry]

Even so what they'll even add?

Like the glimpse of Angel Island with Knuckles nowhere to be seen?

[strange estuary]

No offense, it feels like you're just typing stuff

[smoky summit]

IT'S TIME TO FACE YOUR FEARS

[stiff salmon]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[oblique plank]

What if

They add in lives into Frontiers

Because extra life icon

[torn trench]

Imagine all they add is a proper Ares flashback

[wheat kindle]

Yeah probably some new animation for the games since Dark Beginnings was so popular and well made, giving GIGGEX more projects is a cool thing, with our main writers

If Roger is involved and the announcement is tied to the IGN live, it's game related, like an animation for the games as usual

It must be more substancial than the last animation, the Crossworlds animation was barely hyped iirc, compared to Dark Beginnings

[lunar trench]

[prime hearth]

moving her mask out of the way to play forehead noughts and crosses

[humble drum]

Bald

[humble drum]

Time for a tidal wave

[still epoch]

Yep

All expected

[silent haven]

the 'we need people to play our game now' trio

stand your ground tomato boy

[rugged otter]

a

[wise chasm]

|| >Tikal is a pass ||
throwing up

[pulsar horizon]

Still no sign of MHA 🫩

[rugged otter]

oh ok fuck fumble

[silent haven]

by this point i earnestly believe they saw the player count and dipped (like the player count ha ha)

[pulsar horizon]

Yea because Care Bears and Smurfs will definitely bring in players obv

[silent haven]

yeah exactly

aint no way they were desperate enough to pull out the back to back smurfs/care bears combo and not MHA if they could've

[raw osprey]

dw bro we get it

[rugged otter]

unless they're saving mha for when only less than two digits are playing...

[pulsar horizon]

That or they have another anime collab in the works

[safe hull]

Mephiles, Chaos, Tikal and Infinite all before Omega I am gonna ensure this Sonic Rumble Party™ comes to an end

[wide portal]

oh boy the last time Tikal suddenly showed up as a surprise character in a mobile game developed partially by SOJ it didn’t end well

[prime hearth]

what the fuck are you wearing my guy

[wide portal]

I like the hoodie

uh don’t show this image to sonic twitter it’ll auto-generate 15 long rants about electricity and sonic

[smoky summit]

Orca time

[prime hearth]

hoodie could be cool but I think it should be instead of the scouter/gauntlets instead of with em

[humble drum]

It was one of the skin design contest nominees

[prime hearth]

otherwise it just turns into

[humble drum]

Seems like they are making them all stickers

Big clock hat should have beaten catdow

[fossil echo]

Kitsunami L

[humble drum]

Now if eggman makes these toys how does he know mephiles

[fossil echo]

mephiles and infinite believers keep winning lol

[fossil echo]

Some bullshit with the time eater i dunno

Maybe roblox canon

[humble drum]

Mephiles aint in speed sim

[fossil echo]

Not yet

[prime hearth]

same way anyone under the age of like 20 knows mephiles - tilted towers fandub

[fossil echo]

Anyways finally theyre doing the fan contest skin

Its neat we get both

And not just cat shadow

[humble drum]

So has eggman watched himself pissing on the moon

[fossil echo]

Peacock sonic looks cool

Or wait, all those stickers were fan contest outfits weren't they

[humble drum]

Well the losers are just stickers

[fossil echo]

You think they'll be eventually be made into skins diwn the line or they'll only be stickers?

[humble drum]

[fossil echo]

Ah shame

[wide portal]

everybody in the sonic universe just randomly remembers 06 at very specific intervals, so in one of those intervals Eggman jointed down his memory of Mephiles’ desi—I just realized I don’t think either of them actually interacted face to face

06 you ruined my fucking joke I hate you

[untold kayak]

Eggman does say he has been trying to capture Mephiles in 06

[untold kayak]

Though

if we run into specifics

in Gens, Eggman brought Crisis city for whatever reason

so probably he found out about Mephiles through that

[modest parcel]

If Eggman knows about King Arthur Sonic, does that mean all Knights of the Round Table feature Sonic now

[untold kayak]

The book did change its title to Sonic and the Black Knight

so most likely lmao

[mental cargo]

sick leaks

love em very cool characters

[verbal tundra]

Oh wait they still put the other costumes in as stickers

That’s cool asf

[grand cobalt]

don’t worry sir she’ll become purchasable with rsr in half a year (the game will be dead by then)

[safe hull]

If only

[strange estuary]

I didn't expect Mephiles

[rugged otter]

i didn't expect infinite

maybe likewise for chaos, idk

[coarse ferry]

Chaos and Tikal 🗿

[strange estuary]

I could've seen those coming from a mile away

[grand cobalt]

wowwww look at you

https://tenor.com/view/jadareloaded-jadapriint-spongebob-stan-twitter-sand-gif-8956965864798495746

[rugged otter]

i just think it's funny how with each addition, omega sounds less and less expected

one day a chibi toy metal overlord will happen before omega

[grand cobalt]

does he know

[coarse ferry]

Omega fans can't catch a break 😔

[sick bobcat]

Omega, forever a third wheel and forgotten 😔

[rugged otter]

you talking about neo metal or are they actually
no..

can i at least have a toy chaos gamma

[coarse ferry]

Altho it feels even worse since he is the most recurring e series robot and still gets treated like this

Absolute pain

[strange estuary]

Who were you expecting

[sick bobcat]

he got to appear in Dark Beginnings and be cool for a few moments
but I need more than that

[coarse ferry]

saaaaaaame

[oblique plank]

INFINITE LETS GOOO

AND MEPHILES

YOOO

[naive geyser]

YEAAAAAAH

[ember junco]

I can’t lie

I kinda wrote off Mephiles getting into the game because they wanted this to be canon

But let’s fucking go???????

We cannot stop winning

Ngl

Kinda weird they’re not using Rubyless Infinite

Like wouldn’t it make more sense to push that design?

[silent haven]

i mean it's same gimmick as speed battle

anyone can get 'in' because they're all just toys in game canon

[strange estuary]

No

They've used that design since the Chaotix Files

Oh wait, I misread

[ember junco]

Yeah but like

Since it’s canon unlike Speed Battle how’d Eggman remember Mephiles

[strange estuary]

I don't think this is really canon, at least not the way you think it is

[coarse ferry]

Yeah how the hell he found out about Mephiles?

💀

[naive geyser]

Shhhh dont worry about it

Though for real

I feel like this can be a hand wavey “the eggmen were stuck in white space long enough to learn about him”

[ember junco]

Nah Ik it ain’t gonna have like crazy lore drops I just find it a bit odd with the inconsistency

Ultimately it ain’t a huge deal

[silent haven]

funny answer: blame time eater bc crisis city is in gens
less funny answer: he saw him on a monitor at some point in 06 or something idk

[humble drum]

eggman used the healing power of smurf magic (he'll be dying very soon)

[ember junco]

I mean I could maybe see the Gens thing being the case

[coarse ferry]

You know what yeah

Considering with Time Eater

[oblique plank]

Oh yeah wait a minute

[ember junco]

Yeah iirc didn’t Time Eater specifically pull moments from Shadow and Sonic’s timelines

[rugged otter]

time eater will be playable before omega

[oblique plank]

How the hell did Eggman get a figure of Mephiles

If he doesn’t even remember him

[ember junco]

So maybe Eggman could like peer into Shadow’s stuff

[coarse ferry]

Eggman probably went like "who?" And just treated as another pawn for an excuse to defeat Sonic lmao

[strange estuary]

I don't think they'd be able to know who Mephiles is without getting in his time chamber

Literally no one remembers him

[rugged otter]

shadow told him about this frosty lookalike he fought in Shadow Gens once and Eggman was like "ooooookay then"

[ember junco]

Wait holdon

[oblique plank]

What if Eggman treats his Mephiles figure as a sort of fanmade super Sonic

[ember junco]

Lemme cook

[rugged otter]

internally he called it "Shadow action figure - frosty edition"

[ember junco]

Classic Eggman sees Mephiles and Iblis and then later down the line remembers them and that’s why Eggman went to Soliana in the first place

[stark marsh]

i swear that if those icon emotes are just shoutouts and nothing more im going to be very sad.

because i VERY MUCH wanted that Kitsune skin

only for Mr. Glaze himself to win it all anyways

[ember junco]

Ngl I’m kinda surprised they even did anything for the runner ups

Like I thought it was just the winner gets the skin in the game

[rugged edge]

Sigh fake leakers these days

[safe hull]

Game key for 2 dreamcast games I can't

[rugged edge]

Literally

“Dumbass” like bro we know it’s fake 😭✌️

[safe hull]

That split for the boxart is also just terrible

[rugged edge]

Exactly

SEGA could do way better than that

[safe hull]

It'd be a solid line and have some stupid title like the SONIC ADVENTURE 2-PACK

[rugged edge]

You can tell it’s AI because of the TikTok stuff at the top

It’s out of order

[safe hull]

It's not AI

[rugged edge]

Ohhh

[silent haven]

how do we tell them

[rugged edge]

Ok I must’ve been tripping

[safe hull]

*them

[silent haven]

shit my bad

[rugged edge]

Sonic Adventure 1+2 Deluxe Edition

Heh get the reference

Sonic

Frontiers

Deluxe

Edition

[safe hull]

featuring new funky mode

[rugged edge]

https://tenor.com/view/orange-cat-laughing-gif-13031147940704744720

[rugged edge]

Featuring a separate campaign with chaos (no not the blue blob chaos)

Anyways what happen to SFDE

Did it get debunked or smth

[prime hearth]

its 100% legit considering its from a rating board

we just don't know what it actually is

[rugged edge]

I mean…….it might be a switch 2 port..

Think abt it

Why would frontiers suddenly get a new game 4 smth years later

I mean yea final horizons but that was planned dlc

Unless there doing a SFDE to plan for SF2

[prime hearth]

filler release to make up for the lack of frontiers 2 most likely

[safe hull]

Just be a free update for PC please

[rugged edge]

Yea

[prime hearth]

partially cos they know we wouldn't last for a year without a game without going feral, but mostly cos investors

[rugged edge]

SEGA: Fuck you and the PC (slaps a 80$ game on to your face)

[prime hearth]

investors likey sonic game releases

[rugged edge]

Should we do a always bet on SFDE bingo board to replace SF2 for now

I feel like all I want for SFDE is
• Shadow DLC that is connected with Shadow Gens
• Tails, Knuckles and Amy playable in other worlds after you beat the story
• Replace the ending with the horizons ending

Idk what else

[strange estuary]

Would they really replace the original ending?

[prime hearth]

god I fuckin hope not lol

[untold kayak]

I don't think they will do it

specially because final horizon was thought as an alternate ending

[rugged edge]

Yeah I might’ve gotten carried away

I see the Shadow dlc happening ngl

[safe hull]

SHADOW EXCLUSIVE Cyberspace levels YEAAAAA

[rugged edge]

No.

[sick bobcat]

I'm hoping for a Metal Sonic side story for Frontiers DE

give me that Sonic 4 synergy

[silent haven]

metal + orbot/cubot side story to tie into the movie AND build off the like 3 times they've interacted with each other

[deep spire]

It's kinda funny I think Frontiers is one of the few games where Eggman just doesn't have Orbot and Cubot with him, I forget if they explained that or not

[sick bobcat]

Orbot and Cubot being there helps, cause Metal doesn't talk
so they do the talking for him

[strange estuary]

So like in that one animation short?

Sure, I guess

[untold kayak]

They were left behind at Eggman's base

as shown in the prequel comic convergence

[deep spire]

Oh right!

[safe hull]

Damn shame

[humble drum]

If adventure 2 even touches adventure 1 I will kill you

[coarse ferry]

They’ll probably find a way to go like “how I make this about shadow” lore in sa1 story

🙂 👍

[humble drum]

I will accept it if mecha mk3 gets a story as well

[coarse ferry]

Same

Altho sa1 is a type of game where you could easily add more content

[dusty osprey]

How would you even do that?

Well...

Hmm

[coarse ferry]

I’m just joking, but legit. Keep sa2 related out of sa1 and use past sonic games before sa1 instead

[dusty osprey]

Let me ask you all a knuckles related question. How long ago are those flashbacks in sa1

[coarse ferry]

I think they are like 1000 years ago which honestly they should expand that more

[dusty osprey]

Unless those echidina flashback are 2000 years ago. I dont really think you could. Sa2 is weirdly seperate from a lot of the stuff in the games before it. Despite involving multiple elements.

[coarse ferry]

Oh no not what I mean. More like small references and such

With like the Badniks in general

[dusty osprey]

Ah ok ok

[coarse ferry]

Ye 🫡

But as for sa1 itself. There’s a lot they could easily add more that were left out

Like with the dragon in sky chase, chaos 3,5, and such

[dusty osprey]

Oh yeah

Also i mean

If they wanted to get funky

[sick bobcat]

time travel

[dusty osprey]

Flash back emerl fight in 3d

[coarse ferry]

Oh that’ll be raw af

[dusty osprey]

Thats the most "sa2"/gerald related shit i could see happening. Beyond again the echidina stuff takes place at the exact time as blackdoom being on earth

Or as @sick bobcat suggests litteral time travel. Which might not be off the table because of the films. In the sense of shadow may fight chaos at some point in a movie?

But i feel like what might be better to forshadow with all the echidina stuff if they wanted to is again emerl or the frontiers stuff

[coarse ferry]

That’s something I hope they do because the echidna lore is not used much as of yet in the game series

Closest we have after sa1 is chronicles and that ship has sailed

[dusty osprey]

The ship exploded and died

[coarse ferry]

pretty much

Hopefulyl frontiers will give us another chance

[runic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-gif-10718565837335930049

[hasty schooner]

That or the Third Great Civilization, we know nothing about them

[coarse ferry]

Either one works really

[hasty schooner]

My dream topics to cover in future Sonic games:

1. The Ancients' God
2. More Ancients
3. Third Great Civilization

[forest fractal]

We don’t really know about the Fourth outside that Emerl was created by em so I wouldn’t mind an expansion of them either

[hasty schooner]

Also true yes

Hell we barely know about the Gaian civilization

[forest fractal]

But idk Casefiles kinda made me skeptical if the ancient history will amount to anything since the Lenses were kinda just the macguffin of that show and the Gaians made em but nothing else to really contextualize em in that culture

I just really hate how they mention the Gaians and did nothing with that connection. It didn’t add anything

[grand cobalt]

you have to be the strongest ancients truther I know

[hasty schooner]

Final Horizon lobotomized me

[coarse ferry]

But if they are going to do something liek that I hope Knuckles is more involved because one of the main thing I miss is his treasure hunting day

Zero Gravity was the only time outside of emerald shard hunting that shows that and I wanted them to do more of that over his char

[forest fractal]

You need to be relobotimized in that case

[lunar trench]

https://tenor.com/view/an-iq-too-high-raven-crow-tiktok-gif-3869671553367641450

[wide portal]

wait but what does a second lobotomy accomplish exactly

[forest fractal]

If we combine the collective IQ in this server, it would still be in the negative

[wide portal]

don’t you want to reverse the first one

then why do it again

[untold kayak]

I mean, I don't mind. It isn't like the Gaians themselves were more than a mcguffin in Unleashed so this is just a smaller version of that type of narrative element

[forest fractal]

I got more out of Unleashed’s brief details than I ever did on Casefiles plus back then, there was never that much of a push for lore in Sonic anyway but I can infer a lot of details from that game

[untold kayak]

Plus I like some Unleashed rep. Between this and Metstli's culture somehow existing in Spagonia complex, its neat

[forest fractal]

Was Metstli involved with Spagonia? I don’t recall any sort of connection there

[untold kayak]

They went to the laboratory of spagonia to find Tails and he told them the location of the ruins

[hasty schooner]

Listen man they gave me a mysterious deadbeat god and a race that plays jenga competitively that's all that's needed to sell me

[forest fractal]

Nerrrrrrd

[hasty schooner]

Me to the alien symbol floating in the sky: you come here often hehehe

[coarse ferry]

Honestly I am fine with how Gaia lore is handled as it is. Like babylon, I feel like it's already established enough as it is

[forest fractal]

Bro is getting rizzed up by a fuck ass symbol well at least that’s better than a 30 year old acting like a shy anime teen

[hasty schooner]

what is the context for the latter

[coarse ferry]

Also helps that there is essentially both Light Gaia and Dark Gaia. No need to expand any further than that

[forest fractal]

Sykkuno

[lunar trench]

I still think the ancients are kind of a failure as a ancient species, but that's entirely's sonic team fault tbh

Visuals, story, lore, all of it is so so dissapointing

[hasty schooner]

that fuck ass symbol has a lot of curves and edges i can appreciate

you wouldn't understand

[forest fractal]

Please I can handle those curves like a pro

[hasty schooner]

like a bro

LIKE A BRO

BROOOOOOOOOOOO

[lunar trench]

Ancient symbol nsfw?

[hasty schooner]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[forest fractal]

Shee

SHEEEEEE

[lunar trench]

[forest fractal]

YOU DIDNT SEE NOTHING

IT WAS A MISINPUT

[hasty schooner]

nope it's too late you're an anime protagonist now

[forest fractal]

YOU CALM THE FUCK DOWN

ITS A MISINPUT

[hasty schooner]

Oh stop yelling and read Rent a Girlfriend or whatever

[forest fractal]

That’s disgusting, I wouldn’t dare read such trash out of my own volition

Besides I’m not an anime protagonist, people love em

[hasty schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/deku-gif-9284218322782923945

do they now

[forest fractal]

Well yeah what people don’t love an anime protagonist?

[grand cobalt]

Idk I wouldn’t say that much

Their lore being explained through PNGs does suck ass though

[forest fractal]

Frontiers had dogshit presentation wbk

[coarse ferry]

The PNGs are stupid af lmao, but yeah I do like how the ancients are handled writing wise

[forest fractal]

They really did the lazy way of introducing an ancient race where they’re from a different planet and allat. I can respect Ian’s pitch to make em related to Chaos at least.

[grand cobalt]

what the fuck is a wbk 😭

[forest fractal]

We been knew

Omg bruh

[grand cobalt]

making anything slang nowadays

just say it

[forest fractal]

ITS AN OLD SLANG

[coarse ferry]

💀

[grand cobalt]

I have not seen a SINGLE person in my 20 years of life use it

so therefore

it doesn’t exist !

[forest fractal]

Might have to start saying lowkenuinely atp

[forest fractal]

Bro lacks object permanence

[grand cobalt]

real talk tho making them related to Chaos and the chao saved them because otherwise I think most people wouldn’t gaf

[forest fractal]

Yeah

I kinda just wish Sage looked a bit like an Ancient tbh tho

It seems like they finalized her design before the pivot

[hasty schooner]

Agree

Them being deevolved raises a lot of interesting questions

Something they could touch on if they wanted to

[wide portal]

sigh

[hasty schooner]

I'm fine with it since outside of hacking their tech she doesn't really have much of a connection to them
She's meant to be Eggman's kid
Though maybe the white/blue is supposed to tie into them a little? idk

[wide portal]

was there anything suggesting the ancients were human like in the concepts or something?

[forest fractal]

It’s not really deevolved tbh. Their bodies as is struggled to adapt in Earth so over generations their bodies had to adapt. Just that Darwin type shit

[wide portal]

because I’m not sure about the correlation there

[coarse ferry]

It works well because Chaos 0's origin barely exist so it's easy enough for them to use the Ancients

[hasty schooner]

deevolution doesn't really exist irl so i mean in terms of them losing a lot of their intelligence/power/sentience

My pet theory is that it's an effect of the Master Emerald since it nullifies Chaos Energy

Earth rock made people using space rocks dumb as a rock

[forest fractal]

Nah I don’t buy into that

It’s just natural evolution of a race that struggles to survive

[coarse ferry]

I would agreed but that's just diminishing Chaos 0

[wide portal]

the previous generations be like: “we built super death bots to fight the eldritch creatures that wants to consume our very existence”
the current generations be like: “chao chao chao chao chao :D”

[hasty schooner]

Agree to disagree

[forest fractal]

Yeah and I disagree so I win

[hasty schooner]

whatever bro

[forest fractal]

I presume so I can climb into and all mangled and shit?

[hasty schooner]

oooooh that flew over your head huh

[forest fractal]

Yup

[cunning echo]

[forest fractal]

So uhhh you gonna explain that or I’m just gonna have to put up with the vagueness?

[hasty schooner]

honestly no i'm not going to explain it because now i feel awkward

[forest fractal]

HUH WHY?!

[hasty schooner]

it's just playing off the whole bro thing you pulled earlier in the convo

[forest fractal]

I know it’s an insult

I can take it

[lunar trench]

As lovo said, that's just not how it works 😭 this is like if us humans were to evolve into squirrels or smthng

[hasty schooner]

no that's not what i meant actually, i do believe what Soni is suggesting is possible in the right conditions

[forest fractal]

That’s not even a good comparison I’m beating you up

[hasty schooner]

anime siblings and a washing machine look it up

But anyway EVOLUTION

[forest fractal]

OOOOOOH

The stepbro shit

[hasty schooner]

bingo

[forest fractal]

Yeah that’s fair i suppose

[lunar trench]

It is possible but with a species that is that intelligent it just doesn't really make sense as they'd rather adapt the environment to fit their needs rather than them fitting to the environment

[hasty schooner]

Genes have no will of their own but natually it comes about that the more conductive to survival a gene is the more members of that population take it on, even if this can come with drawbacks in some cases i.e. malaria and sickle cells
So by Soni's logic the Ancients traded their intelligence for physical bodies better adapted to Earth's climates

[lunar trench]

If anything tho kocos evolving into chaos makes more sense

[hasty schooner]

I agree with this I'm just saying it's technically not impossible

But intelligence I imagine is very difficult to adapt out

But also this is a fantasy scifi series

[prime hearth]

what if chao are just secretly really really smart

[forest fractal]

Omg bruh… this is some corny ass strawman bs SonicTwt be pulling

[lunar trench]

Idk give the ancients chat gpt and it's gonna devolve'em real fast

[prime hearth]

"chao chao chao! :D" and hes holding his phd in astrophysics

[forest fractal]

I mean there’s a Chao Doctor

[lunar trench]

Whatever you say man

[forest fractal]

Typical French…

[lunar trench]

Typical canadian...

[prime hearth]

we've only ever really seen chao when they're like, babies

and like maybe two more adult ones (black market guy and the doctor)

who says they're not big brained when they're older

[hasty schooner]

They may have a degree of intelligence but it likely pales in comparison to the Ancients, with the kind of tech they were using

Anyway I just think it's mildly horrifying that a previously superintelligent race of interstellar refugees with their own culture, language, and religion were turned into pudding pets

[humble drum]

Tikal

[hasty schooner]

And also that the seeming last of their kind was not only still a creature of mostly instinct but was transformed into a dragon monster by the very artifacts they used to ensure their survival

[forest fractal]

Sacrificing intelligence to just being able to absorb various traits from animals and buffing up their stats to adapt to various climates better makes sense to me for a fictional evolutionary pipeline

[hasty schooner]

Existential horror implications in Sonic go brrrrrr

[humble drum]

that can absorb features of other species

[prime hearth]

I mean I'd take being a pudding pet over [gestures at everything]

[untold kayak]

Yeah, Ian did say it would be the connection feel less jarring

[humble drum]

imagine evolving into a blue blob that can suddenly sprout parrot wings

[untold kayak]

In the Bumblekast, he talked about how the ancients being from space and be connected to the Chaos emeralds was Sonic Team's part

but he offered the connection to Chaos to make this element feel more cohesive with the world of Sonic

so it doesnt feel out of place

[untold kayak]

TBF

in real life

[forest fractal]

I do wonder what was Sonic Team’s initial look for em

[untold kayak]

what you currently know as birds

is the natural evolution of dinosaurs

[humble drum]

why did their translucent liquid bodies become solid

[prime hearth]

mass density prolly

smaller forms innit

[untold kayak]

natural evolution

the terrain and conditions changed to adapt to the enviroment and have properties that allowed their survival

their semi liquid bodies evolved into a species with adaptability properties

[lunar trench]

Okay but dinos weren't as intelligent as the ancients, they weren't capable of adapting the environment to fit their needs + you have to remember that the birds aren't dumber than dinos thx to neurone density

[humble drum]

why did the ancients get dumber

[lunar trench]

i.e: crows

[lunar trench]

Bcs plot

[forest fractal]

Bc why not? It’s fiction

Let the super intelligent aliens adapt to be silly puntable babies

[humble drum]

imagine slowly going from galaxy travellers to glue sniffers

[strange estuary]

But why is it fiction when it could be real

[forest fractal]

Because while there should some sense of logic at play, it being fictional is just cooler

[untold kayak]

I think it is less that it is real

more so that it feels real

or palpable enough to buy it

and it does

specially with the implication that the Master Emerald played a role in that evolution

Eggman did say some sort of radiation got into them

so that also came into play with the ancients adapting into the world

[humble drum]

we are an advanced civilization from another world we have come here to-

oooooo crayons

[hasty schooner]

See??? It makes sense
The Master Emerald stops Chaos Energy, it would be like reverse radiation for the Ancients

[forest fractal]

Eggman also said Starfall only has three islands so should we really take everything he said in those logs?

[coarse ferry]

Probably wasn't able to get the entire data during those logs

[untold kayak]

Checked the egg memos

don't see anything where eggman says there were only three islands

the closest I could find is that he could find constructions of South Island, Westside Island and Angel Island

[forest fractal]

It’s there

[untold kayak]

Oh yeah found it, its in log 7

Probably just a leftover of the original plan for frontiers

where there were only three islands

Kronos, Rhea and Ouranos were supposed to be one

so it is truth but it is outdated

[lunar trench]

Actually ykw, coming from a species that tried to defend earth from a intergalactic world destructor with this? I'm not too surprised

[untold kayak]

I mean

the cannons were strong enough to keep up with the eclipse cannon

so they were strong, just the enemy was stronger than them

[lunar trench]

Okay but like

Come on

[untold kayak]

it's a typical 'menace from space stronger than any techy planet' trope

[forest fractal]

The End would be a Final Egg Blaster victim

Starfall Super didn’t need to do allat

[lunar trench]

Man they could've at least give it to us for a qte

[forest fractal]

Bro wants more timed button prompts

[lunar trench]

You'd rather have nothing

Bro wants cutscenes with no gameplay

[forest fractal]

That’s what you deserve

[lunar trench]

Mf wants the minecraft story mode sonic game

Bro wants the last of us

[forest fractal]

They already have that to use with the mfing Easy mode

[forest fractal]

Last of Us without the Zionism so basically not Last of Us

[untold kayak]

The emeralds responds to the hearts desires, so it probably detected the ancients' wish to live peacefully

and ultimately gave them Chao

So.. w?

[lunar trench]

Triple combo monkey paw

[coarse ferry]

How to live peacefully? Become as babies

👍

[lunar trench]

To be ignorant is the worst curse of all

[hasty schooner]

I mean what I suggested is the complete opposite

[lunar trench]

"Blissfully unaware"

[untold kayak]

Oh fair enough

Though the whole bit of the ancients becoming chao adds more ironic tragedy to Chaos

[loud zinc]

Je a switch 2 thing lmao

[raw osprey]

oh so its jsut a switch 2 version

[rugged edge]

Or maybe it’s a switch 2 ver of sfde

Eh I’m crazy

[stiff salmon]

might just be switch 2 after all

[sick bobcat]

would suck if they do QoL updates for just switch 2

[loud zinc]

We ain’t getting a new game this year after all lmao

[raw osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-7240636

[strange estuary]

I don't think we have to

But I wouldn't rule it out yet

[cunning echo]

Frontiers 2 this year bros

Just trust

[wise chasm]

man, it's actually funny how "2021 2"-core this is

I hope they also leak a "Sonic Collection" again that won't come out for at least 1 more year and won't get a phys.release till 2028

[raw osprey]

30th anniversary was so good the make 30th anniversary 2

[dusty osprey]

Sega isnt capcom so i imagine they won't do that

[silent haven]

when they leaked colors ultimate it was listed for each platform individually, but their early listing for origns was only ps4

so

literal coin flip

😬

[cunning echo]

Yeah is just switch 2 ver with a link outfit

[smoky summit]

I think timed exclusive for sure

[cunning echo]

Why would it

We haven't seen anything yet but I don't think they will add any new kind of content aside from skins

[silent haven]

meh
we don't really have enough of a pattern to go off, there's only really kiwami 3
maybe they've literally just thrown the ps5/series x version on switch 2, maybe they actually bothered to go 'maybe we should do something about the pop in' after 5 years

[smoky summit]

?

Kiwami 3 was never on the switch

I think it's virtually impossible that they don't add anything that adds playtime value

Shadow Generations' port was just an upscale, but that came as a launch title for a game that came out half a year earlier

When sega clearly had no support plans for the switch 2

[sick bobcat]

Definitive Edition implies enhanced port + all DLC
has to be something more

[silent haven]

yakuza 0

whatever

same thing

[wise chasm]

Yeah, there's no real reason for it to be a "Switch 2 timed exclusive" if it doesn't have anything new

[smoky summit]

Why is the assumption that they aren't adding anything new

What basis is this on

If they want good sales, they have every reason to add something, and they've had the time

[wise chasm]

Because it's the most realistic scenario for a company that tends to cheap out and do the bare minimum

[modest parcel]

It's a switch 2 version, they can cheap out

[untold kayak]

Definitive edition has a new story and content. Trust

[wise chasm]

Also doesn't help that the announcement-to-release pipeline is going to be real quick if June 23rd release is correct

[cunning echo]

ig yeah but like

they can also just say the next game is called frontiers 2 and push frontiers again by saying that the sequel is coming with the first game available on all platforms

[smoky summit]

Does nintendo still do Switch 2 upgrade Path?

And are they still strict about "upscaled games cost $10 to upgrade, games with new content cost $20"?

If so, sega has no reason not to add something to justify $20

Nothing crazy, but something worth at least 1-2 hours of extra play time

[cunning echo]

no one does that anymore 😭

[smoky summit]

What do they do now

[cunning echo]

they sell the game again

[wise chasm]

They were only strict about it with themselves

3rd party for the most part either makes the upgrade path free (or a small amount) or it's a separate SKU entirely

The 20 dollar upgrades were limited to Nintendo games and those had content

But also weird assumption that DE is a 20-dollar upgrade when the normal version without any sales is still 60

[cunning echo]

at best they can just do an update 4 being in the same way the update 2 was

but aside from that lol

[smoky summit]

I mean +$20 if u already owned it on switch to upgrade

Im sure they will also sell it full price if u don't have it already

But idk, you guys are saying they might just do that instead

[cunning echo]

we're just saying that it most likely a port

and that's it

😭

[wise chasm]

Pretty much, yeah

[wide portal]

can we pretend that something leaked I’m so bored

[grand cobalt]

telling how you need sonic leaks to fill the void in your heart rather than filling it with something meaningful

[verbal tundra]

Go to bed fizzy

[strange estuary]

We can always go to 4chan

[modest parcel]

For Frontiers DE?

[verbal tundra]

some of us arebt allowed there

[strange estuary]

No, for pretending that something leaked

[strange estuary]

What do you mean some of us aren't allowed in 4chan

[verbal tundra]

theyre not gonna like us pin.

[strange estuary]

What did y'all do

[modest parcel]

[rugged edge]

Let’s pretend a Sonic X Star Fox game got leaked

[wide portal]

I’m a fucking corporation I need to feed fizzy

[modest parcel]

First Star Fox game to sell past the 1 million mark since the Nintendo 64

Star Fox adventures outsold Assault and 64 3D

[rugged edge]

Wow SA1 X SA2 X Star Fox remake

Wow

[modest parcel]

This is why we can't have nice things (they're probably going to make another one tbh)

[rugged edge]

So cool

[wheat kindle]

something did leak, Frontiers DE/Switch 2, other than that, either there is nothing else or they are managing to keep it secret

[oblique plank]

theory
what if Frontiers DE is an update to the base game but a seperate physical release for the switch
somewhat similar to what Hollow Knight did

I mean, with a subtitle like "Definitive Edition" it sounds like there should be stuff for non-switch 2 platforms

[grand cobalt]

could be, it’s too unrealistic

*not, oops lmao

[untold kayak]

It's a good theory

quick question

did speed simulator have an event for Sonic Colors Ultimate?

[still epoch]

Thats what im saying lmao

[oblique plank]

I dont think it was out at the time

[sick bobcat]

I dont think so, Speed Simulator didn't exist when Colors Ultimate released

[oblique plank]

Speed Sim had events for Sonic Prime, Frontiers, Superstars, SXSG and Crossworlds

so pretty much every mainline release since it came out

[untold kayak]

Did it have for Sonic Origins?

be either OG or Plus?

[oblique plank]

yeah

I think

[untold kayak]

Yeah it did, I checked

Interesting

very interesting

[stiff salmon]

i smell something imminent

[modest parcel]

I wouldn't say anything is imminent due to this necessarily; they've been working on it since December, and all of the additions have been surprises to them. If it were properly timed, tying into Frontiers DE promotion, they'd probably be less surprised by all these changes and approvals.

That said, I do think the new "maybe if" rendition is a solid indication that Frontiers DE will have changes in some way, so I do expect those to carry over to an update or something unless they want to be insane with it

[untold kayak]

they did say it was not just that though

it was like 10 songs weren't they?

[modest parcel]

10 songs that they're hoping to add later on yeah

Not necessarily all of them are new though

[untold kayak]

Fair, yeah

but still, very interesting that SEGA did a remix for maybe if

[lunar trench]

So then

[oblique plank]

what if they got Ian to do the optional dialogue this time

[lunar trench]

Do we agree that DE is the release of 2026 or are we expecting something else

[untold kayak]

2026 release

[oblique plank]

there's bound to be something else

[lunar trench]

Hm

😭

[oblique plank]

I think Nate said something

[lunar trench]

Not expecting frontiers 2 this year #tbh

[oblique plank]

Frontiers DE this year with some changes followed by the announcement of what the next mainline is

[lunar trench]

My theory was a new classic game this year

But idk anymore

Cuz i have a theory with maybe an adventure collection but it's very tinfoil moment

Cuz like

[oblique plank]

this is what I believe their lineup is gonna be
Sonic Rewind finale
Sonic Frontiers DE
Next 3D game announcement
35th anniversary collabs (Godzilla and Fortnite)
Sonic X DC Metal Leigon
Mainline title reveal

[lunar trench]

F4F has this to be revealed in june, and methinks it looks like the ss/ssh transfo sequence... this on top of the new sa2 statue we're getting rn... idk man i'm just saying that's a lot of sa2

[modest parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/super-sonic-sonic-sonic-frontiers-giganto-chaos-emeralds-gif-27395911

[oblique plank]

SA2 pandering with F4F isn't new anyway

[lunar trench]

Ehhhh idk

The only sa2 pandering from f4f is the old shadow one... and even then it was only the base

[dawn pumice]

Actually

I think this is for 35th

[grand cobalt]

does it sound different in any way because I haven’t checked yet

[silent haven]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-ever-happens-chud-chudjak-soyjak-90-seconds-to-nothing-gif-9277709574191520604

[lunar trench]

Can both things not be associated?

[dawn pumice]

No true

Rn I’m 100% in agreement there’s a 2026 game

[cunning echo]

frontir 2

[dawn pumice]

But I’m split if it’s a spin-off or a classic game

I think frontiers 2 is spring 2027

For the 4th movie

[coarse ferry]

I am on the same boat too.

[dawn pumice]

I don’t think frontiers de is the game of 2026

Still in belief it’s just a graphics update

[grand cobalt]

i mean

a. Unlike adventure remakes we already know frontiers DE is happening, so like

b. There’s more ground for speculation with “sega specifically sent us a new version of this song to use” instead of a remix made purely for social media

[coarse ferry]

I feel like if they are going to do ever do SA1/SA2 remake it only depends if they are this confident doing a remake

[dawn pumice]

This is crazy coming from me

But I see them doing a heroes remake before the adventure titles

Feel like that’s more of a safer bet

[grand cobalt]

how is that crazy 😭

it 100% is a safer bet

[coarse ferry]

Honestly Heroes is the most likely Sonic remake due to three reason

1. No longer able to get the engine
2. One of the more "accessible" sonic games to get into
3. Marketing of the current series (Sonic 4 movie with metal and amy)

[dawn pumice]

^^^

[grand cobalt]

well i was gonna say that heroes in general isn’t as well liked by people as sa1/2 so if they fuck up or change stuff theres less heat on their back

but that too

[dawn pumice]

That was another reason

If they fucked up both of those remakes, hell would break loose 😭

[coarse ferry]

But I expect that we get more focused with Metal instead

I know Amy fans are expecting what they got, but Metal got barebone compared to her recently

And even if Heroes remake does exist, it'll be strictly far more focused over metal

[grand cobalt]

man Amy in a heroes remake might be the last straw for people 😭

saying that as if crossworlds wasn’t kind of that already

[coarse ferry]

Yeah I am muting their asses off lmao

I hate Amy discussion way too much 💀

[lunar trench]

In that case then might as well not remake them ever, what kinda mentality is that 😭

[modest parcel]

A good mentality

[coarse ferry]

I have to be real, EVEN if the remake is good people are going to bitch

[modest parcel]

[dawn pumice]

I think they need to remake something like heroes first before they do that

If heroes does insanely well then ya u can do those remakes

[lunar trench]

Ew

Heroes 🥀

[oblique plank]

I wonder

[dawn pumice]

I would gladly take a heroes remake

[modest parcel]

Alright enough agenda posting

[oblique plank]

would a heroes remake get rid of the iconic "because, we're sonic heroes"

[modest parcel]

Put ur money down H3y

[grand cobalt]

Heroes is the game I think people will be the most okay with if you changed literally everything about it funnily enough

[dawn pumice]

There a bet????

[modest parcel]

SA2 for 35th?!?!

[coarse ferry]

Only thing I am worry about is this

The visuals

[dawn pumice]

O

[modest parcel]

If you can't stake your claim then your agenda is hollow

[grand cobalt]

get ready for shadow gens graphics talk but on a bigger scale then

[oblique plank]

Heroes remake = seaside hill remix = seaside denied remix

[modest parcel]

[grand cobalt]

get ready for piss yellow rail canyon

most known sonic game thanks to ps2

[silent haven]

[oblique plank]

honestly the only thing they need to fix about Shadow Gens' graphics is the lighting

everything else is, imo, on par with Sonic Unleashed

[coarse ferry]

Oh don't get me wrong I don't mind sxsg lighting (I legit liked it a lot lmao)

I am more of worried over how they'll handle it is the thing

[grand cobalt]

then you should’ve been more SPECIFIC

https://tenor.com/view/guarbie-gif-21257355

[coarse ferry]

Because that's always been a dealbreaker when it comes to any remakes

[modest parcel]

Still no bets being made huh

#noticing

[lunar trench]

WHAT BET

[grand cobalt]

probably because it’s a really boring one

[coarse ferry]

But I won't be surprised if we get more story context about Neo at least the prologue

Like at least over how metal found out about shadow and chaos 0 while being out of commission

[modest parcel]

Erm you said you think SA2 will be at the 35th! Because F4F!

[lunar trench]

Yah

[sick bobcat]

I'll consider SA1/SA2 remakes, if they don't delist the original versions

[modest parcel]

You gotta put your honor on the line

SA2 pfp for a week if it doesn't happen

[grand cobalt]

that’s a lame ass penalty wtf

[sick bobcat]

cause if they mess up the remakes, you can always go back to play the originals

[modest parcel]

Nah it's appropriate

[coarse ferry]

The delisting will always be stupid af

[silent haven]

i've lost all hope...

[modest parcel]

[silent haven]

without sonic central i have nothing.....

[modest parcel]

Come on H3ylow what's wrong

It's just a lame ass penalty

[oblique plank]

they're def gonna go the Sonic Gens route of delisting it but making it still available in bundles

[lunar trench]

What if i'm right tho

What about you

[modest parcel]

Well

I'll have to uuuuh

What should my penalty be h3ylow

[grand cobalt]

I mean if it’s a remake, I don’t see why they’d feel the need to delist it

[modest parcel]

One week long pfp

[lunar trench]

"SA2 is dogshit" as a name in tc for a week

[grand cobalt]

is h3ylow betting on sa2 in general

[modest parcel]

Yes

[grand cobalt]

like if it’s a re release would it- alr

[dawn pumice]

Actually fuck I take this back

[oblique plank]

SA1 and 2 at the cost of having Sonic 4

[dawn pumice]

I do think we will get a possible collection

[modest parcel]

But is it SA2 and SA1 specific

[grand cobalt]

If it’s a collection oh yeah kiss those steam versions goodbye

[dawn pumice]

I just remebered SA and SA2 were taken off ps+ awhile ago

[silent haven]

this WILL be the year we get the unleashed port and advance collection and dream team port and sa1/sa2 ports

[grand cobalt]

sorry bettersadx it was fun while it lasted

uhhh sa2 doesn’t have any notable mods so idrc

I think we are getting Frontiers DE and a spinoff this year, some other small shit

If it's not a spinoff

Anyway I had forgotten that an update on other platforms is nearly confirmed for Frontiers, because we saw the game was being updated on February - March via Steamdb

Same thing that happened to Origins before Plus

If true, it would debunk the "it's just prettier graphics on Switch 2" theory

[untold kayak]

That would be an insane twist

[sick bobcat]

I mean
a Forces sequel with improved controls + open zone formula sounds fire

[pulsar horizon]

Please let it be real

[stiff salmon]

ill fucking take it

[pulsar horizon]

I need to see the fandoms reaction

[stiff salmon]

rewrite your own error

[dawn pumice]

Bro

Forces 2 that’s an open world

[pulsar horizon]

I wouldn’t mind an open zone Forces

They seem to be pushing IDW characters and the podcast was a major thing and they only talked about the events of Forces

[sick bobcat]

Playable Whisper instead of Gadget 🤔

[pulsar horizon]

It would make even more sense with T&W also getting VAs recently

Not this gif AGAIN

[wheat kindle]

They are 100% gonna add Tangle and Whisper, and some hint at how Infinite survives to connect it to Chaotix Casefiles

Although Tangle wasn't a hero during Forces

Whisper would be easy to add storywise, she worked alone in that period

[pulsar horizon]

I can’t see them doing a Forces DE with Tangle and Whisper being added since they were doing their own thing during Forces

[wheat kindle]

Yes

Whisper was a myth, according to Silver

[pulsar horizon]

You’d also have to introduce Jewel which would tie into the festival ig

[hybrid hill]

Can any of yall check if they gave a date in that link?

Can’t seem to open it for some reason

[pulsar horizon]

I got you

[lavish iron]

If they call the next mainline game “Sonic Forces 2” bro. And oh I might evolve

Dang it

[pulsar horizon]

Nvm it crashed on me

[hybrid hill]

yea the link is broken for me as well

[pulsar horizon]

Ok through twitter it opens

[deep spire]

Finally
Sonic Forces 2
-# Sonic Generations 3
The next game in the Mario Advance series

[pulsar horizon]

I can’t translate it tho

[hybrid hill]

Thanks 🙏

You know another thing that they've been doing lately is like

using Gadget as a character?

Lo más probable es que de ser un nuevo lanzamiento, se trate de Sonic Forces Mobile, que no está disponible oficialmente en Japón.

Bro imagine it’s just for Speed Battle 💀

[deep spire]

That'd be hilarious

[hybrid hill]

Thanks Fang 😤

[dawn pumice]

Oh ya it could be forces mobile

[untold kayak]

Did Dream Team got something like this?

[still epoch]

A dream team trademark would have been more exciting for obvious reasons

[pulsar horizon]

It was speed battle wasn’t it

[lavish iron]

Thank god

[strange estuary]

Sonic Forces 2 will be happening in a few decades anyway

Is there a chance that the region lock on "Sonic Forces: Speed Battle" might get lifted?

SEGA has registered the trademark "Sonic Forces" in Japan. This is a completely new registration published today, although the reason for it is unknown.

[untold kayak]

Hm but

why would you need an entire separate register for it?

wouldn't you just do a tangencial one with the original one?

be either the og game or speed battle?

[pulsar horizon]

It’s not called Speed Battle apparently

[smoky summit]

Yawn

Waste of breathe

[pulsar horizon]

According to the Play Store it’s called “Sonic Forces: PvP Battle Race”

[smoky summit]

I hope something worth talking about happens soon

[untold kayak]

Name kinda sucks but thats besides the point

[pulsar horizon]

But yeah little weird that the trademarked Forces specifically

[modest parcel]

Hm

Status is dead

[pulsar horizon]

That would explain it ig

[modest parcel]

Not quite

Same classifications and everything

[pulsar horizon]

For me it says dead

[untold kayak]

Would you explain it?

[modest parcel]

Well

[untold kayak]

I am not the most acquanticed with general copyright stuff

[modest parcel]

Not exact same

But at least SEGA filed it this time

So I'm not getting bamboozled

[pulsar horizon]

So it’s a different project? I’m confused

[modest parcel]

It's a trademark for generally the same goods and services as the original

Just under different classifications

Old classifications^

[untold kayak]

[untold kayak]

Interesting

[modest parcel]

New classifications^

[pulsar horizon]

So they renewed it basically right?

[modest parcel]

Comparing it with other cases of renewed trademarks, I'd say so

[verbal tundra]

No

[pulsar horizon]

Rell I saw your tweet shush

Insane work

[hybrid hill]

I mean don’t we all 😭😭

[green tiger]

Ohhh. Wasn't Sonic Blitz found to have all sorts of crazy stuff in the files like modern versions of classic characters?

[forest fractal]

Yeah… it’s gone now…

[green tiger]

Inshallah we get a Sonic Superstars updated version

The level design is certified kino but it lacks polish and resources being diverted to the meh multiplayer drags it down

If not I'm tempted to make a mod for it given it's just Unity

[forest fractal]

Superstars ain’t big enough to warrant an update esp now

[green tiger]

I don't get why not, it wouldn't be very resource intensive and it'd be good PR

More random updates have happened for older games

[hybrid hill]

why are u freeze but muslim mashallah 😭

💀

Just because it is tangential to the fortnite leaks

[coarse ferry]

well it's fortnite so it's understandable

[raw osprey]

this type of conversations exists in every fandom people need to stop saying its only sonci fan thing lmao

[prime hearth]

this isn't a sonic fan thing its a "you have spent too much time on the computer go the fuck outside NOW‼️" thing

unfortunately the venn diagram of the two groups looks like this

[autumn yacht]

the difference is the sonic fans are more feral somehow

[grand cobalt]

somehow? 😭

[prime hearth]

easy explanation for this: they stopped making Ben 10 alien force, there is a finite amount of show

with sonic there’s almost a constant revolving door of new stuff making its way out, even during the lull periods there were at least comics and bits

for ol benny tenny they made three connected shows, stopped and most people into it moved on with their lives while carrying the love for it in their hearts

[modest parcel]

And fond rememberence of a brighter hue of green

Never doubt green fans
