General Sonic The Hedgehog thread

A preschool video game came up with Amy sprites in the "classic era" decades before "Origins"? My mind just blew up.

They're such cute sprites, too! She fits right in!

Red, Chuck & Bomb for the (probably) better Sonic Forces game & Sonic Dash?

For the people asking about Hitchcock style, go to 1:50 and watch from there.

Seeing it will give a good idea of the approach taken with Maria getting shot.

Oh, so it's like Maria's death will be shown in the shadows on the wall. Actually, that would look pretty interesting!

The Shadows you say?

Okay, so far everything is going pretty smoothly in Sonic Frontiers, aside from the occasional frustration of falling into bottomless pits.

However, I have hit a huge bump in the road to that Platinum trophy: A GODDAMN PINBALL MACHINE ON CHAOS ISLAND. Is it too late for me to email the devs and see if they can release a patch to lower the score requirement?

I hated the Pinball Machine. I feel it wasn't well designed. Not enough safetys and the score requirement is indeed too high.

Not to mention that you have to start from the very beginning if you run out of attempts, which feels a lot like Fake Difficulty.

I hated that pinball machine too. It shouldn't be required, or it should at least lower the score requirement or make other concessions the more often you lose. Especially since there's another part of the game that lowers difficulty with each subsequent loss.

Just making a small correction, but if the saucer enemies steal your Chaos Emerald you can actually just leave, the game will let you progress as normal up until you're "ready" to fight the Titan, at which point it will give you a mission to retrieve the stolen Chaos Emerald (presumably with a map icon, but idk because I always got it back right away).

The only reason you cannot save during a fight with it is because it's an enemy, and being too close to enemies does that.

Uh, dude...I already finished Ares Island.

So? Their comment doesn't only apply to Ares Island.

I never encountered that enemy on Chaos Island.

You're not done with the game yet...

Considering I've already seen the ending (both the regular and DLC stories), I know.

Then why'd you respond as if the original comment was no longer relevant?

Anyway, I'm gonna take a break from the game for a while.

Sonic Prime is gonna get a graphic novel adaptation from IDW.

I actually once brainstormed a Zeti OC of my own, except he'd be a seventh member but he would be a Gentle Giant with no robot-controlling powers of his own (which has him being bullied by the other Zeti, resulting in him pulling a Heel–Face Turn at the end and living on Sonic's world)

Sublime!

I think I’ll get back into Frontiers in June.

We basically know nothing about the Zeti species and the ones we see are clearly a gang. Maybe they could be lazy and say they're Always Chaotic Evil, but it could be like the Slitheen where one group is giving the species a bad name. Maybe they're on the Lost Hex because they were kicked off their home planet for being troublemakers

I forget if they got any backstory in the IDW comics.
