Somehow we went from the Ugly Sonic trailer to this moment.

Its because they listened and didn't double down, I believe Sega weren't pleased with the ulgy desgin either and with the backlash from pretty much the whole internet, they delayed the film and fixed the desgin, then they were rewarded, of course Paramount having some money troubles, getting a hit with Sonic has helped them a bit, who knows where they would be if Sonic hadn't been a major hit for them, so as long as they respect the characters and the source, they'll contuine to get surport from the fans, unlike other IPs, where they simply refuse to listen to feedback and double down on stupid!!

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

They did it. They blew up the moon.

While I never expected the Biolizard to make it into the movie, seeing that Gerald is truly alive actually simplifies a lot of the plot. No need for the Biolizard to be revealed last minute, Team Dark works without Rogue, he can give his own speech to the world instead of a 50 year old 4K recording, and it presents interesting options for how Shadow might be convinced to turn to good.

Presumably that simplifies the plot, or at least some of it, but I don't know. This still looks dense.

I'm kinda blown away. I expected SA2 to be difficult to work with, but they've kept more than I expected, yet made changes that are intriguing instead of seeming like they're just going to be shortcuts. This story already called for two hedgehogs. Having two Robotniks might be an attempt to make a theme out of it.

I'm suddenly excited for Silver to appear.

Man, too bad this Two Hedgehogs, Two Eggmen thing wasn't done in Sonic 2, because then everything would line up perfectly...

But the main source for this one is SA2, which was divided into 2 even playable teams. So it still works.

Anyone else feel there is some conspicuous amount of space between Robotnik and Stone in the villain line up as Robotnik rises from the manhole, like enough space for another character?

Interesting. There's definitely enough space. It could be that they didn't put as much thought into it as we are, but if they've altered the shot to hide a spoiler it wouldn't be the first time a trailer did that.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.
Citizen
No no, it's part of the "die a hero or live long enough to become a villain" arc for wade. It's just a set up for knuckles to go "Oh... whoops, my bad guys.".

So, not Sonic-related, but maybe tangential enough for some interests?

Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX for Steam is on sale for like, $2.27 Canadian. That's probably under two bucks USD.

On the one hand, great deal. If you've never played, I recommend it. It's worth at least that much.

On the other, this makes me kinda sad. I was hopeful that it might do well enough that they'd remake the others and make them better (except Shinobi World -- I'd love that, too, but I don't know that there's much to improve on there), but everything has been pretty quiet since the initial release and patches.

I hope it did well enough and things are just quiet, but I wonder if a price that low is an ill omen.

Failing the ideal scenario, I just wish SEGA would re-release Alex Kidd in Shinobi World already. I know they re-released it on Virtual Console for Wii AGES ago, but I wasn't able to get it then, and would still like it on something modern, regardless.

Aside: Any interest in a SEGA thread? For everything else SEGA? Or should we just include that here, make it a SEGA/Sonic thread?

Since it'd still mostly be a Sonic thread, but there's stuff that happens between releases events, too.

Considering the breadth of Sonic subjects, a dedicated Sega thread for other games makes sense.



I played the movie DLC in Shadow Generations and it achieves the state of...okay. It's not a bad level as far as layout is concerned but it's just a single Act and two challenges. Movie style Shadow looks weird in game form and voice work feels oddly gruff. This release mainly has me curious on if the Sonic side will ever get DLC.
