General Sonic The Hedgehog thread

So are we ever going to hear from Archie about the Sonic comics? Or do we just assume that they're unofficially cancelled?

More or less, people are still prying for information and we get a word every now and then, but nothing official or major as of yet.

@Known, I hated that hand smh.

On a lighter note:

Behold the untold story.

Keep scrolling, Mike Pollock decides to voice it

Mike Pollock's awesome.

I honestly think that the Switch is just holding Forces back from reaching its full potential on the PS4/XBONE version.

At least with Unleashed, they had the Wii version developed by a different team, but with Forces they're making concessions to make it run on the Switch.

Why couldn't they have made the Switch version developed by a different team? Hell, I think Dimps did a good job with the Wii version of Unleashed.

I highly doubt that's the case. While I don't know what the Hedgehog Engine 2 uses as its base, the Switch is capable of running Unreal Engine 4. I fact, the latest versions of UE4 have native support for the Switch. If the HE2 is anything even remotely similar to UE4, the simple act of getting it to run would be absolutely no problem and be very little in the way of work. It's optimization that takes work, after all, and a part of me doubts Forces was optimized for anything.

The PS 4, X Bone and PC versions aren't "held back" since they get their 60 FPS and whatnot.

Oh, I actually am trying to help save the Sonic Archie comics from being cancelled, as a matter of fact.

How so, if I may ask?

It's just a simple petition, if you or anyone else wants to help.

There we go, people!

Please don't multipost, we have an edit button.

Sorry. I'm getting used to this format, still.

I think Adv 3 is the best of the handheld games personally with Battle and Rush Adventure being the other two. It also had the best bosses of the advance games though G-cube was a little weird. The only thing I didn't like about adv 3 was the collision detection in regards to crush kills as simply standing right next to a block was enough to get you crushed, and the little issues that came naturally with the advance engine(not bouncing off enemies high enough mainly, as well as the meh spin dash) Made Ocean Base a bit of a pain. And yeah the music is aces.

I like Advance 2, though the Egg Saucer can go die. One of the most nerve racking bosses in the entire franchise. Music plant and Techno Base were very original and awesome levels. Cream is pretty broke lol but she's supposed to be easy mode. She's good for scouting out levels and learning the maps at least. Always felt like this one led itself best to speed running compared to the other 2.

The first advance I feel is overrated somewhat, though still decent. The levels themselves just aren't that fun and don't flow well. It's saying that the carnival level is possibly the dullest carnival level in Sonic yet. I know some people like it because it's pace is closest to the classic games(particularity sonic 1) but I feel that actually makes it the worst of the 3, as I don't want to play a classic game with weird physics. The music is cool at least, with cosmic egg( I think,the groovy spaceship), the jailbreak level first act,and snow level first act being the best. Also Neo Green Hill zone has a better theme than Route 99 or leaf Forest, despite me liking those levels more.

Why is Sonic's sprite so light?
