Sonic Leaks, Rumours & Speculation

[wheat kindle]

those short quills drive me crazy

[glossy sphinx]

from what I can tell, yes, but those questions mainly came in after the leaker gained popularity. he decided to hold his tongue after that for the most part.

[wheat kindle]

Uhm, okay, I see. Maybe after a reveal, we may know more

[glossy sphinx]

the account was pretty "niche" before the jsr clip shit. now he's getting posted by multiple news outlets.

[raw osprey]

[glossy sphinx]

"the new model is a great improvement" is worthy of being reported by multiple big Sonic news outlets

funny how that works

[wheat kindle]

tbh I am tired of leaks when detectives investigate if the footage is legit or modified from old footage, but it's fun to read "leaks" regardless of authenticity

[glossy sphinx]

I agree!

[wheat kindle]

we have nothing else, yeah, it's fun to speculate

[pearl cradle]

What if the model is good, but the game is bad?

[wheat kindle]

Sonic fans will be pleased?

[pearl cradle]

lol

[glossy sphinx]

by the way this is 1000% fake I know who's behind the account just ignore it

[wise chasm]

People gas up 06, so...

[strange estuary]

Meanwhile I'm crazy to know if the general art style & graphic fidelity improved

Because I'm going to be honest, Frontiers visually kind of sucks

[glossy sphinx]

warm take

[raw osprey]

i agree honestly

just again its funny this is the first question people asked

[pearl cradle]

Agreed. It needed to have more Sonic stuff like loops and such.

[raw osprey]

and how many frontiers 2 leaks talking about new models

[pearl cradle]

Like there are no natural loops on Starfall Islands

It's crazy

[strange estuary]

Not a take many people will say because they're more concerned with Sonic's model

[glossy sphinx]

depends but yeah

[strange estuary]

I can accept if he looks the same but the rest of the game looks good

[raw osprey]

the coldest take ever made

[glossy sphinx]

I would hope that everything visually would be handled with the same level of care but whooo knows

[wise chasm]

Here's my warm take - not all places in Sonic's world need loops or be whatever people assume "sonic things" means

[pearl cradle]

I thought most Sonic fans liked Frontiers

[glossy sphinx]

in the grand scheme of things, yes I guess

[raw osprey]

since they show gameplay people ahve problem with frontiers visuals

nothing changed in this 4 years honestly

[strange estuary]

I think loops aren't present in Frontiers because there wouldn't be a good way to handle them (that can satisfy most people)

[glossy sphinx]

🤔

I can sort of agree

[pearl cradle]

Spring Yard doesn't have loops and yet it's very Sonic-like because of the other parts of its visuals

[pearl cradle]

Can you elaborate?

[wise chasm]

Starfall Islands not having "sonic-y" stuff is fine because of them being hella isolated from the rest of the world

[pearl cradle]

They just look very generic imo

[wise chasm]

I know "eww, lore explanation", but imo it worked well enough for that game

[glossy sphinx]

there could've been plenty of different ways to handle something like that and thinking of the potential drains me

[wise chasm]

That's fine, I just kind of don't like the whole "where muh loops and checkered hills!!!!" being the end all be all

[strange estuary]

People don't like loops bc they're usually automated, and they wouldn't serve much of a purpose in the open zone if they were to be that way

[raw osprey]

that was basically all artistic vision for how islands look

[glossy sphinx]

I agree

[raw osprey]

like im pretty sure theres whole interview with kishimoto and art director when they say that this type of visuals isnt usual for series and it was done to show how much islands isolated from world

[pearl cradle]

What if they were semi-automated? Like there are no dash panels and you need to boost in order to go through the loop with scripted movement

[pearl cradle]

I think you can achieve that without making them look like generic UE5 islands

[raw osprey]

you def can😭

but what weve seen in a final game is just result of budget and messy development

[strange estuary]

I don't think that'd be enough to make them anything interesting, the other option would be to make them not automated... which would be complicated and I think a lot of people wouldn't like it

[raw osprey]

like islands do not look that bad themselves but flying platforms and rails plus shitty pop in really ruins visuals

FH is the worst in this aspect

[strange estuary]

I think the reasons Sonic games have stiff camera movement nowadays is because they don't want to induce nausea on people

So I can't imagine them making the camera follow the player throughout a loop

[untold kayak]

they did a couple of times in final horizons

[wise chasm]

That I can agree with, yeah

[pearl cradle]

True. I think loops can only be interesting gameplay-wise if they aren't automated and the game has pinball physics

[glossy sphinx]

crossworlds dynamic camera option save me

[strange estuary]

Behind the character?

[pearl cradle]

Otherwise they are just spectacle machines

[glossy sphinx]

yes

[untold kayak]

Yeah

[wise chasm]

I still think Ares looks kind of great and it's the rest that gives off a bit of a "generic" vibe

[strange estuary]

Hmm, I don't quite remember them

[glossy sphinx]

they experiment with a few loop variations when it comes to level of automation and how the camera works

you can swerve a bit between the big ones

[glossy sphinx]

funny im the opposite and areas is kinda my least favorite 😭

[pearl cradle]

https://youtu.be/CwFCNLhr2cI?si=P8VYGf8_1IqBkSLF&t=182

[glossy sphinx]

actually, depends on the area, cuz ares has some variation with its biomes

which I can appreciate

I guess the same can be said for the other islands but the variation in ares sticks out to me the most

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1110033328435908629/1236208170624487435/screen-20240504-0248242.mp4?ex=6a1fce93&is=6a1e7d13&hm=b1bca7a7f76025e948c3aec56912a6b957b701ceaf57dd02f426546019cb1615&

[glossy sphinx]

this is one of the unique cases with the loops

where it's a merge of the two approaches

[strange estuary]

Should've added a bit more variation tbh, that one area is really nice

Ares is kind of boring but also it doesn't look bad

[glossy sphinx]

im genuinely so surprised there's barely any underground sections in frontiers

I remember the days where everyone theorized that there was something behind the Kronos waterfall.

[strange estuary]

I mean, isn't there?

[wise chasm]

Nope lmao

I mean, technically there are platforms to get you to the boss, but that's it

[glossy sphinx]

exploration factor of doom, I just wish they got more clever in places

that hint of cleverness is there in TFH but, y'know, constraints and building everything on top of an already existing island.

[strange estuary]

Yeah, a few springs on some rocks count as something

Just obv not what people were expecting

If there was a secret area to get to the arena, that would've been cool

[glossy sphinx]

chaos island volcano flashbacks

all that speculation (from me at least) just for it to be one of the worst frontiers mini games held inside of it

https://tenor.com/view/war-1000-yard-stare-gif-10147302364842942579

[strange estuary]

The pinball?

[glossy sphinx]

yes

[raw osprey]

what mini game in frontiers is worst?

there like what 3 of them

[rugged otter]

The pinball.. was actually not bad

I kinda enjoyed it

[glossy sphinx]

did you just share... an opinion that differed from mines..?

https://tenor.com/view/invincible-thragg-thragg-hairline-invincible-meme-thragg-tweaking-gif-4482567892880668001

[rugged otter]

Urr err
Well

https://tenor.com/view/ontuusgeorge-gif-18807081

[pulsar horizon]

So is that leaker legit oooor?

Asking cause of the old SoR screenshot they posted

[coarse ferry]

It's very likely real

The only one that is vague is just the sonic model. The rest is on the mark

Biggest red flag is Miku appearing in P5X

[hasty plume]

likely real, everyone just has trouble trusting after he said sonic will get a new model

[wheat kindle]

it's real, only Sonic isn't because Sonic is unleakable

ANOTHER ADIRA COLLAB CONFIRMED

SONIC PLEASE IM BEGGING

[mossy pine]

OH SHIT HE MAN

[dawn pumice]

Damn so sonic is the last one if I recall

[ember junco]

The only ones Adira leaked and haven’t come yet iirc is Sonic, Kingdom Hearts and Minecraft

And I’m willing to bet Kingdom Hearts is canned

[wide portal]

Wasn’t Kingdom Hearts the bee trap

[prime hearth]

I mean
I could’ve told you he-man is coming lmao, there’s a movie

they love tying into movies

[ember junco]

Yeah but Adira specifically leaked it was coming and no one else

Also this doesn’t look like a movie tie in

[prime hearth]

we need to stop believing “no shit, Sherlock” type ‘leaks’

[ember junco]

Unless it’s like Uncharted where it’s like original thing then movie styles

[pulsar horizon]

Minecraft

[oblique plank]

Adira said that they weren’t that confident about Minecraft

Hell they’re fairly certain it was fake

So that leaves Sonic and KH

And with the JSR leaker talking about Persona X Fortnite, indicating SEGA and Epic Games are still on good terms, that could mean Sonic is still coming

[cunning echo]

💀

[pulsar horizon]

Sauce?

[toxic vapor]

Pretty sure we're gonna get news today!

[modest parcel]

No we are

Crossworlds

[toxic vapor]

Please no Crossworlds news

[smoky summit]

This is crazy

[toxic vapor]

Now we can expect actual news (Frontiers DE) at Central!!

[smoky summit]

When was the last time we were in June 2nd with no word on upcoming games?

2020?

[toxic vapor]

Yep

[dawn pumice]

What u thinking

Crossworlds dlc at sop

Or something else

[untold kayak]

I think Summer games fest will have frontiers DE

but crossworlds may get the dlc

here in the SoP

[wide portal]

why would a switch 2 port be at sgf

[wheat kindle]

SGF is definitely bigger so main announcements... there

crossworlds maybe today, but do you think it makes sense to split announcement between these 2 events in the span of 3 days?

[ember junco]

Nah

[modest parcel]

I'm expecting Frontiers DE at the Nintendo Direct

[ember junco]

Frontiers DE is 100% at the show Nintendo’s doing

[untold kayak]

Dunno but sounds funny

[ember junco]

Whether it be a Partner showcase or what

[untold kayak]

sjsjsjs

[wheat kindle]

I mean the main announcements across various events

[strange estuary]

What kind of news

[ember junco]

I mean I could kinda see it

I think them having both in 1 show would be more likely

Like State of Play 1 after the other

But them being split I could see

If there is like a bigger announcement like a remaster or smth

Rn I’m playing it safe and just gonna say Crossworlds news at the State of Play and DE at a Nintendo show

[stiff salmon]

likely the case

pray to god there's no legends comp

[ember junco]

The fact the haven’t announced one has defo thrown me through a loop

[silent haven]

i feel like crossworlds news first would make more sense

lower priority than a new release and gives them a chance to post the calendar

[ember junco]

100%

Plus didn’t Crossworlds have like a Sony marketing deal?

[oblique plank]

https://x.com/majorplayeix/status/2061227360473735491?s=46

just your average leaker (@MajorPlayeix)

@ChocoExplsn Heard it once. Never again. Persona should be coming to Fortnite so SEGA and Epic seem to have enough of a partnership for it to still be complete.

X · May 31, 2026, 11:24 PM

[ember junco]

Or was that Shadow Gens

It was one of the 2

[oblique plank]

I think both of them did

Shadow Gens had the special stuff for the PS5 controller and Crossworlds had the PS5 network test

Plus Shadow Gens was revealed at a State of Play

And every demo booth with Shadow Gens and Crossworlds used a PS5

So it seems like SEGA and PlayStation have some sort of deal

[ember junco]

The only things that make me a bit doubtful of Crossworlds at the State of Play is:

• not all the DLCs were revealed at a State of Play
• the reveal of the Avatar and TMNT DLC feel like they’d warrant Summer Games Fest

And we’re definitely seeing Avatar and TMNT this next trailer

[oblique plank]

Eh those are mainly because SEGA is still third party and can choose to reveal stuff on their own accord

[silent haven]

avatar and TMNT are already revealed though

[ember junco]

Like factually we need to see them before Patch 4

[silent haven]

[ember junco]

Not the characters and tracks

[silent haven]

like we don't know the stages or characters but the fact they exist is not a leak

[oblique plank]

And besides they still did big reveals for state of plays like the Crossworlds gameplay trailer and Shadow Gens’ reveal

[ember junco]

Nah Ik but they have to reveal those packs

[oblique plank]

And also the Keanu Reeves dlc for Shadow Gens

[ember junco]

And they have to do it before Patch 4 which is guaranteed for this month

[oblique plank]

On the same day as a central too which is funny enough

[ember junco]

Like there’s not really any wiggle room

Because as soon as Patch 4 drops we’ll see them on like the character select and Grand Prix select

[oblique plank]

There’s also the fact that this is the first SOP that’s being shown in a theater

So it’s a very big deal

[ember junco]

True

[oblique plank]

So do they want to reveal Crossworlds DLC here and then the next 3D title at SGF or the other way around

Because both will have a ton of eyes

[ember junco]

Ok I wouldn’t say all that

We ain’t seeing the next 3D game this week teaser or otherwise

Like I’d be happy to be proven wrong but I just cannot see that happening at all

[oblique plank]

Fair

It seems like a thing that would be announced after they do a whole big birthday bash thing

Especially if we’re getting that new model

[ember junco]

Tbh I’d argue we ain’t seeing it until the game awards

[oblique plank]

I would agree with you but assuming that Sonic 4’s marketing is gonna start a lot earlier than we thought because of the IMAX release and shorter filming times they’d probably want to coincide that with the next game marketing

So they can have that synergy they had with Shadow Gens and Frontiers

But that’s really riding on if my theory of Sonic 4’s marketing starting a lot earlier is correct

And paramount is a weird company

Six down…

Three to go

X · Jun 2, 2026, 4:23 PM

[oblique plank]

More like 2 down because every other Fortnite leaker just disregards Minecraft as fake since even Adira wasn’t that confident

By the way this account is fake as hell because they said the new model looks like early Uekawa art when we know it’s gonna look like the Yui Karasuno art from the guy we know has actual stuff

Just putting this here because I’ve seen people on my tl interact with this account

[silent haven]

god i can't wait for this month to be over

[grand cobalt]

it just started

[silent haven]

and it's already this bad

[ember junco]

Woooooow on Pride Month??? /j

[oblique plank]

Every wannabe leaker wants to be the new Pyoro acting all mysterious and it’s pissing me off

[grand cobalt]

remove the /j we need to kill fia

also dw by the end of the week

we will be in a much worse state than now

[silent haven]

actually now that you mention it

[ember junco]

Either end of this week we’ll have some actual news or everyone dies

MMMMMMM

[strange estuary]

Do we even know anything about the account on the left

[oblique plank]

TailsChannel is… non woke medias?

[modest parcel]

Holy SHIT we're so washed

[grand cobalt]

why use performative woke when we have the real woke #righthere

[strange estuary]

Because we know the right account has at least some credibility, right?

[oblique plank]

The account just appeared out of nowhere and has 20 posts

[modest parcel]

They both have equal credibility

One just has 2 year old leaks that others didn't share

[ember junco]

We should all start accounts like that and just vague post random stuff up

[strange estuary]

It's better than whatever the other account has

[grand cobalt]

remember dex, the gatekeeping iceberg theory

[modest parcel]

No it isn't, bc people then think they have NEW info

[grand cobalt]

it's real....

[modest parcel]

Grrrr

[modest parcel]

The funniest thing is having real info but refusing to divulge it

[strange estuary]

At least they're trying

And not just posting random stuff

[modest parcel]

There is no "at least" that's just Zippo behavior

[strange estuary]

Don't make me remember that guy

[grand cobalt]

people do this all the time grr

there's levels to this!!!

[oblique plank]

All I know is one leaker contradicts the other

So one has to be right

[oblique plank]

And I’m betting on the guy with JSR footage (even if it may be old)

Also he lowkey cooked me in qrts

[strange estuary]

Okay, now that's wrong. None of them have to be right lol

At the end of the day I don't seriously trust these leakers popping up out of nowhere

[grand cobalt]

i mean if any old joe just has their hands on 2 year old footage that was passed around like a blunt, i don't think that instantly makes them a leaker or gives them credibility lmao

[oblique plank]

Nah
I’m going all in
Yui Karasuno Sonic model /j

https://tenor.com/view/angry-birds-gif-12007401521632546156

[strange estuary]

They clearly want attention since Sonic fans are starving of literally any news and are expecting something soon

[smoky summit]

Wait till you find out they're both bs 😭

[grand cobalt]

oh my fucking god GO AWAY

not you spider man

[strange estuary]

This account is just really funny to me and 100% has nothing with them

Feels like they're just trolling

[oblique plank]

“I can answer some questions about Sonic’s future”

[prime hearth]

what we lack in flags we make up for in frotting‼️ 🔥🔥

[oblique plank]

[insert that Superman video about coping]

That’s basically my feeling right now

[oblique plank]

And then the other circle of leakers say he’ll be playable in the next mainline

[wide portal]

come on surely people aren’t actually interacting with this fucker 😭

that number of replies HAS to be fake

[oblique plank]

You’d be surprised

[strange estuary]

They are Plug

[wide portal]

I’m going to shoot my head off

[oblique plank]

It’s funny how they just know everything

[modest parcel]

It's twitter

[oblique plank]

That SoP better have SOMETHING Sonic related

[still epoch]

I wont

[oblique plank]

Or else I’m gonna fear what the TL will look like for me

[still epoch]

It

Delete twitter

[wide portal]

Like okay. at least “just your average leaker” had posted stuff most people haven’t seen

it’s unclear if they have any actual legitimacy based on what I’ve heard here but like

there’s something

This guy just spawned in out of nowhere

[strange estuary]

That's just what I was saying earlier

[wide portal]

no cred no background nothing nada zip zero

[strange estuary]

Also, I fear there's no Sonic news today

At least nothing major

[wide portal]

Crossworlds dlc deniers will cower in fear when we get the news

in fact I’ll bet the souls of everybody who ISNT in tailschannel on it

[prime hearth]

its so funny that they're showing this fuckin thing in the alamo drafthouse

both cos of the inherent funniness of "going to the cinema just to see the adverts" but also imagining sonic fans in the cinema for an hour witnessing nae news

[dawn pumice]

People only choosing to believe this bum cuz he mentioned Blaze was playable

How the fuck they are believing this guy and n--

[oblique plank]

He said superstars 2 was gonna have Sprite art

[coarse ferry]

Bro Sonic twt fans are braindead af 💀

[oblique plank]

Yeah sure pal, a full on visual overhaul for a sequel

That will bode well

[prime hearth]

I'm still kinda surprised we've got no DC x Sonic stuff in crossworlds

[strange estuary]

Who's going to tell them

[prime hearth]

like, not even decals

[dawn pumice]

If there’s a year 2 itll 100% be there

[prime hearth]

surely thats on the docket right

[strange estuary]

I imagine there will be stuff for it eventually

[dawn pumice]

Tbf tho too I felt like the dlc was just obligatory paramount representation

[strange estuary]

Now's just not the time

[prime hearth]

like, especially with the shadow batmobile toy they did with the same shared cockpit as the crossworlds cars

[modest parcel]

All those posts about the batmobile interior being the same as Crossworlds

For nothing

[dawn pumice]

Most of it was paramount while 2 of them were just known collaborators with Sonic

[wide portal]

The collab ends this year so they’re lowkey running out of time

But I could see them announcing a new season pass and then releasing DC characters in September

[dawn pumice]

I kinda just want more tracks

[ember junco]

Tbh I feel like September’s Avatar time

[dawn pumice]

Not even characters anymore 😭

[ember junco]

Nah that’s real

[prime hearth]

yeah by this point I'm hankering for tracks too ye

[ember junco]

Like new characters are raw but it can get a bit stagnant

[prime hearth]

35th anniversary track pack would be banging

[cunning echo]

Could the game really survive a year 2 tho?

[ember junco]

If not new tracks at least Crossworlds I’d be happy with

[prime hearth]

just a load of tracks from across the series, either paid or free, bosh

[ember junco]

I think so tbh

[dawn pumice]

I’m ngl a green hill zone track would be fire

[dawn pumice]

Exactly

Make a booster pass

[prime hearth]

green hill? fuck THAT noise we need some R tracks

[dawn pumice]

12 new stages and 10 more crossworlds

I’d pay a good 30 for that

[ember junco]

Like there have been dips with some Festuvals obvs but it still retains a healthy player base even through all the flaws

[strange estuary]

Year 2 yes, idk about year 3+

[ember junco]

Yeah Year 3 and beyond is unlikely I’d say

I’d kill for it but I just don’t see Sega supporting it that long

[cunning echo]

idk

I feel like if next year you got the new game

😭

people will still definitely play ofc

[strange estuary]

New racing game?

[dawn pumice]

I’d say year 2 lookin 50/50

[cunning echo]

yeah

[ember junco]

Yeah it really depends

[dawn pumice]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it continues or gets canceled really

[stiff salmon]

if frontiers 2 aint ready

yeah

[ember junco]

I kinda doubt we’re gonna get a second paid pass but at least free characters

[cunning echo]

the game is really active at least more than TSR ever was and prolly even more than all stars

[dawn pumice]

I think the opposite

We’d get a paid pass

[cunning echo]

that's the thing

if the next game is coming out next year

[ember junco]

Idk

[stiff salmon]

but we wont get it until november

[ember junco]

The Sega reps are easier to get

[stiff salmon]

or even October

[cunning echo]

not to mention that hype for crossworld is not as huge now as it was at the beginning of the year

[dawn pumice]

Ngl

I get why the hype died down

[ember junco]

And they wouldn’t feel the need to make new tracks for them

[modest parcel]

I think a year 2 is good but beyond that it's over

[dawn pumice]

Imma be so fr and no disrespect to the fans

But

[ember junco]

Oh nah for sure

[dawn pumice]

Who tf cares about arle?

[ember junco]

Ok

[silent haven]

kill y

[dawn pumice]

Avatar? Ninja Turtles?

[ember junco]

I was with you for a second

[dawn pumice]

IM SORRY

😭 😭 😭 😭

[coarse ferry]

Okay saying that over Arle of all is crazy

NAH I am stopping you right there!

Why the hell you even say that when people clearly clamor over her?

[cunning echo]

yeah lmfao

avatar and ninja turtles

😭

[ember junco]

Like I thought you were gonna say how the schedule has become mundane and they don’t provide meaningful updates often enough

But Arle slander

[coarse ferry]

Avatar I can easily get

[ember junco]

Nah you gotta die I’m sorry

[coarse ferry]

TMNT? Nah people did legit wanted to see a collab over Sonic

[dawn pumice]

IM SORRRRY

[ember junco]

I don’t make the rules I’m just the messenger

[cunning echo]

like, we're lucky spongebob released first cuz if spongebob came out after megaman nobody would've cared lmao

[coarse ferry]

I can even say this over smash bros since even Arle is well requested too

She is always well popular and people constantly wanted to get Puyo Puyo the respect it deserves

[cunning echo]

Im sure people like Arle

[coarse ferry]

Especially after with that anniversary stream

[cunning echo]

but at the same time

Arle is free

[stiff salmon]

the february incident

[cunning echo]

Avatar and TMNT is not

[strange estuary]

What's wrong with TMNT

[stiff salmon]

one of the passes in question is destined to crash and burn after a specific leak btw

[cunning echo]

so the free characters is fine if you don't care for some like Majima

[dawn pumice]

Don’t have anything against TMNT I love them

But it’s mutant mayhem

[coarse ferry]

TMNT I will say is perfectly fine, but the demand over them is bit whatever

[strange estuary]

Ah

[cunning echo]

but when you see turtles and Avatar is like 😭

[dawn pumice]

I thought they would’ve went with the 80s

[cunning echo]

I'm good

[modest parcel]

My thing is everybody always acts like character roster is what sells games

And it's like

No lol

[coarse ferry]

Tell that to nintendo fans lmao

[cunning echo]

well

[modest parcel]

Smash sells because it's Smash

[cunning echo]

most people hate mk world cast

i'm sure paramount and sega are just itching to collab with each other again after everything got leaked months (and now over a full year for tmnt/avatar) in advance

[dawn pumice]

Can’t wait for my Garfield collab

[ember junco]

I mean tbh it does to an extent

[dawn pumice]

And Smurfs

[modest parcel]

Mario Kart sells because it's Mario Kart

[modest parcel]

It really doesn't tho

[cunning echo]

im talking about roster not sales

[ember junco]

Like you can’t deny that more people were interested in Crossworlds because like Miku for example was added

Like it’s not the sole factor but it defo contributes

[cunning echo]

a little bit

[modest parcel]

I saw more people saying that more people would be interested than those examples

[cunning echo]

miku being free helped

if she was pay idk

[modest parcel]

Everyone acting like Crossworlds was gonna get boatloads of sales in Japan over Miku

[cunning echo]

who

and where

[modest parcel]

Everyone

[cunning echo]

you saying things!!!

who said that

[strange estuary]

Including me?

[ember junco]

Ok but like those people were delusional

[modest parcel]

Things that need to be said

[modest parcel]

@hybrid hill are you gonna take that afk

[cunning echo]

eh

sales wise

the game was kinda doomed due to the 70 dollar price

[coarse ferry]

The price timing did not help at all I have to be real

[ember junco]

100%

[modest parcel]

Mario Kart with the $80

[coarse ferry]

Since a lot of companies were pushing with the 70/80 bucks

[ember junco]

Especially with the DLC before day 1

[cunning echo]

it didn't help that people were going "take that mario kart!" but then when the price came out so did the shields 😭

[prime hearth]

the thing about them trying to appeal to japan is that we know they probably aren't gonna crack japan by this stage but them trying desperately anyways is both a: very funny and b: leads to stuff I like anyways so they may as well keep doing it

[strange estuary]

I completely forgot about that, tbh

They absolutely should've not made it $70

[silent haven]

korone will be in the final wave

trust

[prime hearth]

the grave is already dug but fuck it I'm getting miku songs outta it so I will stay quiet and keep watching them do it

[cunning echo]

yeah but mario kart and new console

last sonic racing was 40 bucks

[ember junco]

Korone and Ironmouse trust

[cunning echo]

so the jump from 40 to 70

is kinda drastic

even if tsr sold good enough

[strange estuary]

Not kinda, that's almost double

[ember junco]

Tbh now that I think about it

Why didn’t Korone get any decals

Like all she got was the song

[silent haven]

saving them for the festival

✅ ✅ ✅

[grand cobalt]

we not getting ironmouse son 😂

now korone

[last idol]

I think it’s also pretty weird the McLaren partnership has amounted to nothing in regards to crossworlds

Like you think there’d be some decals at least instead of like…five guys

[prime hearth]

incredibly true, yeah

[grand cobalt]

they even got sonic paradox vagueposting now, save me

[dawn pumice]

They don’t know shitttttt

about Crossworlds, I don't need content reveals, just say "Sonic Racing Crossworlds will return in Sonic Racing Crossworlds Season 2 DLC"

also because, I agree I'm tired of more characters

I would like anything else as new content

[modest parcel]

they kind of need to give content reveals anyways because they're out of characters for this patch

Hello, I made this account to have fun and was going to admit the leaks were fake from the start but I got caught too much with the power.

I’m sorry.

I will continue to make fake leaks, and I even had a lot of sprites arts and games I was working on for the account

did the guy memed for sonic model thing say anything else about the game

no

All they said is Sonic has a new model...

it was before SoP actually

[untold kayak]

Ah okay

[coarse ferry]

I guess I was very away at the time

💀

But still wtf

[wise chasm]

And also this is the same thing that circulated on youtube for a while

[wide portal]

I can’t believe they’d frame pomni like this

[round trout]

Why is Pomni there

[wise chasm]

Or at least the 2nd half was

oh its that one new character midori was talking about

DAMN she looks really nice

Oh my god, Pomni from Digital Circus actually appears halfway through the leak

i kinda missed my goats man

What does bro know

[raw osprey]

tobe can you actually answer from what year this video is exactly

2021?

[cunning echo]

tobe we know 😭

is just an easy way to get fake insider

[smoky summit]

Ive had several screenshots of this trailer since March 2024, and I know people had it much earlier than that

[cunning echo]

people be mad tho

pretty silly 😭

but is funny

[modest parcel]

why they mad at pomni for

[wide portal]

Jet Set Gatekeepers

[coarse ferry]

Surprise someone even gotten it now all of the sudden lmao

[smoky summit]

U can see the map is totally unfinished

[cunning echo]

yea

is the same old leak but with some minutes before

[wide portal]

tobe 100% has legitimate sonic leaks from like 2025 he’s just hiding them from us

[raw osprey]

the only thing that looks finished here is jsut some cutscenes

[coarse ferry]

I guess atm they are not fully ready to show JSR yet considering how old the trailer is?

[wide portal]

I mean, a lot can change in two years

[raw osprey]

even if they gonna show it atp its gonna look really different

[wide portal]

assuming that this trailer was made in spring 2024 and not earlier

[coarse ferry]

Oh yeah obviously

[cunning echo]

some dude called wmvnotmp4 got mad at me because I posted the street of rage one for some reason 😭

most likely

Fake af edgy bunny

[modest parcel]

The one time I was prepared for Crossworlds in a State of Play and it doesn't show up; the universe has it out for me ig

[oblique plank]

that just means SGF is gonna be insane

watch they're gonna show off the crossworlds DLC and pull a "and thats not all we have for Sonic."

[coarse ferry]

I really hope they show quite a lot

[oblique plank]

they did it before in Gamescom when they revealed Superstars after Frontiers Update 3

[glossy sphinx]

oh right, I forgot about that

[past matrix]

I’m also side eyeing the ign live thing that Roger keeps bringing up/signaling sonic fans towards every other week.

I don’t think anything substantial is gonna be there

but idk, he keeps nudging and winking abt it, so maybe it’ll be a cross promotion thing.

[modest parcel]

It'll have to be revealed before IGN live if there is anything there imo

[dense snow]

is that this week?

[glossy sphinx]

and we all know what event is right before ign live.

[round trout]

i just found it suspicious since today was SoP

and they announced the end of rewind on sat

[dawn pumice]

Ehhh kinda

They ended rewind on Friday and been silent for the first 2 days of June

When they usually announce their new year push the very first

[cunning echo]

is also tuesday

tomorrow tho

[strange estuary]

It's not, lol

[cunning echo]

is wednesday

so tomorrow

[strange estuary]

Being silent for a few days is just nothing

[dawn pumice]

They don’t usually show stuff on Wed tho

[modest parcel]

Sonic's birthday is still a good 3 weeks away

[coarse ferry]

I just can't see SEGA stay quiet over this at all

otherwise there is really something going on

[dawn pumice]

But they usually start marketing early

A week early

Bored so here's the JSR 2024 build leak in HD

QRT: Dastanovich_
I noticed many people reported on Jet Set Radio getting a reboot, but not one tried to build a proper timeline of events, so this is what I'll do. Here's a full summary of EVERYTHING I managed to research about the upcoming JSR reboot

This will be a long thread

[past matrix]

If I have to hear one more JET. SET. RADIOOOO

[cunning echo]

why he so freaky

either way, this looks nuts I really can't wait to see the final ver

I really vibe with the new designs altho gum hat still looks weird to me but whatever

she is still stunning

[past matrix]

This might be thundercat

It isn't

But I know there's a link between the two at some point

[cunning echo]

wait a second

the new char can't move their legs

how are they gonna grind

wheel chair grind about to go crazy

https://tenor.com/view/wheelchair-tricks-moves-half-pipe-skate-park-gif-5593990

[cunning echo]

eh could be the voice

[raw osprey]

i think unfinisehd lighting jsut makes it look really big in some scenes

[cunning echo]

wife is still perfect

[cunning echo]

her jsr design is just so good

[raw osprey]

i like how it looks here

[silent haven]

why she got contacts in

[cunning echo]

I don't vibe with gum in future

I don't really like most of future designs overall honestly 😭

[raw osprey]

his hands are so fucking huge bro😭

[cunning echo]

he's good looking

this game overall looks promising, I really hope they show something new soon

[smoky summit]

Lmaooo so many people have it 😭 and the first dude was trying to use this to larp as a leaker

[cunning echo]

you gotta believe codename Wolf tobe

[torn trench]

Same

[coarse ferry]

Agreed

[sick bobcat]

So they're doing parkour stuff along with roller skating? interesting
Guess they had do something to evolve the gameplay formula since Bomb Rush Cyberfunk beat them to it

[cunning echo]

ehh

[torn trench]

The most egregious redesign was Piranha cuz man

[cunning echo]

brc is just the same as jsr with a tiny adjustments really

[torn trench]

She went from cool biker girl to McDonalds intern

[cunning echo]

is good for sure tho

[rugged otter]

Ok this shot is a better look at her design and yeah it's really good

[cunning echo]

but jsr with parkour go so well together

[rugged otter]

I really wanna see other characters in this game

Including the new ones

[smoky summit]

I really wanna see footage that's not 3+ years old, lmao

[cunning echo]

they look kinda uncanny, it still tries to go anime but the proportions are kinda realistic which is weird 😭

[rugged otter]

JSR with parkour is such an obvious evolution that I'd prob kill sega if they didn't do it

[rugged otter]

Yeah like the designs aren't entirely bad but the proprotions I was never a fan of

[torn trench]

Actually

The worst redesign to me was Professor K

[rugged otter]

TEUE

[torn trench]

He looks like a homeless bum in Future

[rugged otter]

TRUE

I think it was a total downgrade for him

[torn trench]

Ok maybe homeless is too much, but dude

[cunning echo]

lmfao

[rugged otter]

It's just so ehh

[torn trench]

Thank the lucky stars for this man

[smoky summit]

Can I just say, DJ Professor K will always be a genius name, especially if a Japanese guy came up with it

[cunning echo]

best look

in general the best look for all of them ngl

[rugged otter]

Like it looks a bit more grounded yet still very Professor K

And it's just so good

[cunning echo]

I saw someone said that the game looks generic because the characters look realistic but with cel shade and is like

this is probably the best they have looked

[rugged otter]

I just don't get that take

[raw osprey]

this week hopefully

[modest parcel]

Nah, see you in December

[rugged otter]

Like so what if the game isn't low poly, if JSR kept going it would obvsiouly eventually look like this

[cunning echo]

just look at him

[rugged otter]

God

[raw osprey]

its kinda insane people hate on gum redesign when game got announced

it honestly really good redesign

[cunning echo]

to me is just the hat that is weird 😭

but I like the rest

[torn trench]

His Future design💀

[verbal tundra]

Oh my god these redesigns r peak

I don’t ever have to see future’s designs ever again….

[coarse ferry]

Hard agreed these redesigns are so good

[torn trench]

The added purples and reds are such a good touch

[raw osprey]

i saw people hating on beat cause of this shot but like its pretty clear they just didnt animate his pupils plus he already looked a lil different in announcement trailer

[prime hearth]

fuckin

Jonesy fortnite ass Beat

[cunning echo]

it looks gud

[torn trench]

Honestly Rhyth's is pretty good, since it's not really that different

[cunning echo]

we just gotta see it in motion

[raw osprey]

man i really need to see something recent from thsi game and not something from 3+ years ago or even more

[sick bobcat]

I'm not used to seeing Beat's eyes behind the shades

[torn trench]

God's sake, I hope they keep his eyes hidden in the final release, cuz I really don't like the idea of seeing them

[cunning echo]

all their eyes look kinda like that

is just unfinished shading

[raw osprey]

they hidden in announcement trailer

[torn trench]

It's like seeing Eggman's eyes in 06

[prime hearth]

yeah idk I’m not feeling the new design direction

[verbal tundra]

This is lowkey the biggest glowup to me
He looks FIRE

[cunning echo]

I just hope is not just the main trio and the new character

I hope we get to see the others even if not playable

[torn trench]

I don't see why they wouldn't have the rest of them here

[sick bobcat]

im expecting alot of characters to be playable, just like in the previous entries

[torn trench]

If they didn't, then that would be a fucking fumble

[raw osprey]

i do wonder how cutscenes like this gonna look with his eyes being hidden

[torn trench]

But yeah the whole point is to increase your crew's numbers to make a name for yourself

[cunning echo]

we'll have to wait

[torn trench]

This looks fine

[cunning echo]

beat looks good to me

[modest parcel]

Not making his eyes green gotta be the biggest crime

[verbal tundra]

It’s weird seeing his eyes but I can get use to it in cutscenes

[torn trench]

This is honestly his best model in years

[verbal tundra]

Not gonna be staring at him in game

[dawn pumice]

Not even then see u in 2028 😭

[modest parcel]

They look really good here

[smoky summit]

For all we know

[modest parcel]

Eeeeeeeh TGA

[smoky summit]

They could've redesigned everything between now and then

It's gonna be interesting

[cunning echo]

there isn't many hd models of beat anyways aside from these 2

[raw osprey]

beat redesign suffers the most from unfinished build because he looks awesome in monkey ball

[cunning echo]

and gum

[modest parcel]

If Crazy Taxi is being shown at SGF then JSR seems like a natural fit for shortly after

[torn trench]

That first one I really like, the second one he looks like Steve Smith cosplaying

[still epoch]

Did they give beat a tan lmfao

[torn trench]

Who remembers this shit

[modest parcel]

White boy skating in the sun too long

[smoky summit]

He was in Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, so maybe most of the design fundamentals (for Beat at least), are set in stone

[raw osprey]

hmmmmmmmmmm both beat and gum have tatoos now

new girl also have them

[verbal tundra]

What I like about these new designs is that is not tryna replicate the 2000s or whatever aesthetic the first two games r doing and actually tryna fit into modern day. I fw that so much more than reheating nachos

[cunning echo]

yeah same

[sick bobcat]

Same

im also excited to see how the Beat and the gang will be written in full voice acting cutscenes, they spoke in text boxes in the previous games.

[raw osprey]

yep

seeing jsr characters in actual voiced cutscenes are a little jarring

[torn trench]

The new characters they added in Future were pretty cool, Jazz was a favorite of mine
I hope they'll get added in this new one

[verbal tundra]

Thought the first one was Jamie Lee Curtis

[raw osprey]

do yall think the new girl gonna be playable

[sick bobcat]

Clutch.....😠

[raw osprey]

or just story only

[torn trench]

I hope she's playable

She might be the character that introduces the social media system, at least that's what I think they're gonna do with this new game

It would be weird if she wasn't playable

[sick bobcat]

if she is able to rollerskate like the others, then she is 100% playable

[verbal tundra]

wtf is the social media system

Did more details leak wtf

[torn trench]

Based on the footage that leaked a while ago

I remember there being a likes counter or something

[verbal tundra]

Wow I ain’t even know abt that one

[torn trench]

Something social must be in the game since they got them doing interviews in this footage

They never did that in the last two games, you were just on your own

With Professor K doing narration

[torn trench]

Yep

[verbal tundra]

wtf

Social media system makes a lot of sense tho

[cunning echo]

I suppose competing to get a territory depends on your amount of likes/followers

just like in bomb rush

[torn trench]

Kinda

In BRC, they kinda just fuck off somewhere if you tag enough spots

I guess this was what they were gonna do with the online JSR game

[verbal tundra]

I need this new game asap dawg

I wanna see what they’re doing with this

[torn trench]

Same man

This is the most we've gotten in like 2 years bruh😭

[cunning echo]

I think is coming next year

I don't think is far from unfinished, it's been almost 4 years and they probably working on it 2 years before the announcement

[raw osprey]

i feel like even if we not gonna get anything about the game this week we still have crazy taxi

[verbal tundra]

There’s so much potential with what they can do in JSR ESPECIALLY nowadays. This could be a generational game (just gotta ignore the ppl who says the game looks bad cuz it doesn’t look like the old games)

[torn trench]

That's why I've been wanting like a character trailer or something, they've been working on this for a while

[cunning echo]

the one that looked the most early is still golden axe

[raw osprey]

like if crazy taxi comes out in 2027 im pretty sure JSR too

[torn trench]

They kinda feel like 2 of a pair, yeah

[raw osprey]

they announced them at the same time and they both(beside shinobi) looked the most finished

[verbal tundra]

They can keep golden axe tbh
I just want JSR, Crazy taxi and streets of rage (maybe)

[torn trench]

I have the least amount of experience with GA and SoR

I am interested in what they're gonna do with it cuz my only exposure to it was playing a few minutes of the first game and Sonic For Hire

[verbal tundra]

SoR was my shit growing up and SoR4 is one of the best games in the series

GA can go kick rocks idgaf abt that NERD SHIT

[cunning echo]

street of rage 4 is amazing

[torn trench]

Look at where you are, talking about nerd shit😭

[verbal tundra]

Okay but one is way more nerdier

[grand cobalt]

wait leaph I thought you weren’t going to look at these 😭

or was that h3ylow

[torn trench]

I wasn't until I realized it was old footage

From 2 fucking years ago

[grand cobalt]

didn’t we say that

[raw osprey]

man i just really need sega to lock in and market this games😭

[torn trench]

Did you?

[grand cobalt]

who knows

[raw osprey]

they released shinobi and people fucking loved it but it sold like shit

[verbal tundra]

Shinobi was peak
Had me shilling for the game to so many people

I never do that!!!!

[torn trench]

I need to keep playing it

I really liked what I played

[wise chasm]

I really liked Shinobi, but I know people had issues with the structure of levels being metroidvania-lite

[verbal tundra]

They can grow up

^Guy who likes metroidvanias

[prime hearth]

hoping that hud is especially WIP cos man that is especially sauceless lol

it does track with current day HUDs tho so like, worried it’s the final direction

[raw osprey]

game literally has no textures and lighting dw its not final

i would not take any of visuals in this leak(aside from characters redesigns) serious they already change everything

[torn trench]

That reminds me

I remember being disappointed that they changed the UI for BRC, they removed the rep counter on the top and they simplified the boost/speed meters to be a simple rectangle

[prime hearth]

I knowwwwww but so many games at the mo are hot on the basic white font with no sauce HUD train atm so any sign of it is terrifying even early on

especially for JSR, they need sauce for it

[smoky summit]

Lmao tbf the alpha jsr UI does look like the typical thing you see in shooting games

I was about to come in here and defend simplicity

But then I actually looked at it and yeah

Can be improved

[torn trench]

It could yeah
It screams placeholder, so I hope they came up with something better
It looks more involved than the previous games tho, they give you a minimap instead of having to go into the menu to see where you are, and it looks like the graffiti gameplay will be more involved than Future

[smoky summit]

God these folks do their best to never make me forget that SEGA's failures make perfect sense because their fans constantly expect everything about them to remain stagnant and archaic

They're not allowed to have a laptop with stickers???

"swanky"

As if laptops didn't look like this in 2000

[cunning echo]

lot of larper radios

[torn trench]

You can find decent laptops for dirt cheap like a few years ago

Actually I saw this earlier

Why are stickers a stretch when they're going around painting on buildings

[dusty osprey]

wjhos thoughts are this

[smoky summit]

A post on reddit

Mind u

If anybody of these folks have ever seen Ryuta Ueda's art

This new game even in alpha is so faithful to his work

Like even down to how they're animating the mouths

I just feel like these people want to talk like they know shit when they don't even understand that the point of this series isn't to stick to one look from 30 years ago

[verbal tundra]

they only know jsr thru nostagia edits

[smoky summit]
