General Sonic The Hedgehog thread

It's still sold as a Platinum seller.

I want to see all the Portable Sonics and the Genesis titles on the 3DS E-shop Virtual Console ;_;

We'd be lucky to see anything related to the Advance games...every other game would be likely to happen in due time.

(Under all the Edge...) Shadow: THIS IS WHO I AM

And that is why comedy doesn't work with Shadow.

Why is Vanilla giving Sonic a Death Glare in the fourth panel?

Notice where his feet are moving immediately after.

Feet on the Table.

Oh.

According to the tags on that KYM page, it seems the person who uploaded the panel had commissioned a fan comic from one of the comic book's artists. That's pretty cool.

...That comic is about as accurate as Sonic Boom Shadow on personality, just in the opposite direction. I demand to know why he's acting like Super-Cream.

-Reads linked comic- OH. MY. FUCKING. SHIT.

I almost chocked laughing.

But yeah, that is the most out of character I have seen him be.

I'm guessing amnesia, mind control gone horribly wrong or something crazy like that.

It's a fan comic, and apparently it was a Shadow Android. It says so in the tags.

Oh, it does?

xD That's pretty good!

That was pretty funny. XD

Ah, the Shadow Android. It's too bad the other variations(that had specific weapons) don't show up, well, ever, outside of multiplayer.

Cool read showing how Sonic Boom was horribly rushed and how a massive amount of content was cut:

He's going to follow up with some evidence on how this has less to do with BRB and more to do with Sega's bs. You think they would have learned from 06.

Didn't a lot of the developers leave?

When it has to be rushed to get it out on time, honestly, they aren't going to "learn", they're just going to keep it rushed. The deadline's more important than the quality for some companies. Sega included.

And I do remember reading that some of the BRB members left.

But why is that? Is Sonic that much of a reliable seller that they can afford the fallout that comes from releasing not only a bad game, but a broken and unfinished one? I mean Lost World didn't sell all that great if I recall. Boom is probably gonna sell even less.

Sega's gonna ride Sonic's corpse straight into the ground if they don't start making smarter decisions.

It's pretty clear they care more about deadlines than good quality.

Nobody knows why. Could be bad management alone. They fired the testers for Sonic 2006 just to get it out on time, and it clearly suffered for it. Although most of the glitches were shrug-worthy, there's a very select few that severely hamper gameplay. Namely the collision detection-based ones. Like Shadow's failure to homing attack stuff.

An interesting read. I had completely forgotten about all the extra (and interesting) elements we were presented with during the game's development that disappeared once the game released. It almost sounds like an entirely different game. I'm surprised to hear that Perci (who I felt was an Ensemble Dark Horse among the NPC characters anyway) had a bigger role, which probably meant that other NPC characters were also intended to have larger parts in the story. Ugh, all this wasted potential bugs me...

Anyways, I look forward to Part 2.

The Fall of Sonic.

NSFW: A little disturbing.

What just happened?

Sonic Adventure 2.

I don't remember if SA 1 used the animal mutations.
