Kind of hard to mess up a game that has a solid base line already.

True enough. But also, Sonic and the Fallen Star, which is also pretty solid. Does that have a page yet BTW?

EDIT: sadly nope

Sonic and the Fallen Star? I think I heard of that game...in a vandalized Wikipedia page.

Its a fangame by Just Star Drop that released not long before TT 16-bit and its pretty great. Sonic fangames have shot up inquality since new engines came out. Wonder if someone'll fully remake the Before/After the Sequel games and Chrono Adventure to play nicer with modern systems? I can't play teh first two because their cutscenes are done in Flash.

None of those feels even remotely bad, but then again Sonic fans sure do love making mountains out of molehills.

Sorry, what are you referring to?

The "controversies" surrounding the Sonic Omens developers. The only really big one that sticks out to me is the monetization of the project, which is absolutely bad. The others? They're not good but I wouldn't really call them controversies.

Are you implying that toxicity and plagiarism should be normalized?

That depends entirely on what "toxicity" and what's being plagiarized.

Not enjoying Fallen Star so much, due to the levels being very easy.

The special stages, however, gosh they are hard.

So can we just talk about the whole Maria boss fight?

Like wow. Interesting concept, terrible execution.

@erazor0707 To be fair this is the franchise that has people constantly accusing Sonic of ripping of Dragon Ball, Mario, Mario Galaxy, gritty 2000s games, God of War, and now Breath of Wild.

[up][up] I completely forgot about that game. Can Sonic games please stop making the special stages so freaking hard, it worked for Generations 3Ds because it wasn't freaking impossible!

Red Hunter 543: I think for you're supposed to use Chaos Control to stop the spike and then homing attack the drones.

Speaking of boss battles, there's legitimately no Sonic game where any game goes "almost all these boss slap." Like going game by game, the only one I hear people like are:

  • Forces: Infinite #1
  • Mania: Metal Sonic
  • Lost World:....I have no idea
  • Generations: Silver, 3DS Time Eater, Chaos?, Egg Dragon
  • Colors: Nega Wisp
  • Unleashed: Dark Gaia Wii, Egg Dragoon 360,
  • Zero Gravity: Master Core ABIS
  • 06: Solaris
  • Shadow: Black Doom
  • Heroes: Metal Madness and Egg Albatross
  • Adventure 2: Egg Golem, and the Biolizard
  • Adventure: Chaos, E-102

For 06 I remember Eggman's fights being well-liked.

I was kinda iffy on the 06 Eggman fights. I did sort of like a few, though Egg Cerberus was pretty annoying. I did like the Shadow VS Mephiles round 2 fight tho since once Mephiles breaks out the clones it gets a touch bit Musou.

Something that's not helping Omens is that the worst thing to happen with most Sonic fan projects is that they go unfinished. Omens by contrast has a whole list of controversies attached to it on top of coming out after two fairly well regarded fan games in Fallen Star and 16 Bit Triple Trouble. As a result even those what might be interested in Sonic fan titles (whether players or content creators) have far less problematic choices to go with, and that's not even counting what's going to be showcased as SAGE 2022 next month.

On the other side of fangames, I recently discovered Sonic Momentum which appears to be the Sonic Mania to the Modern Sonic games seen in Nintendo handhelds, namely the Advance trilogy, Battle, Rush, the DS version of Colors, and even Chronicles, if you can believe it and sort of merges the elements of those games.

And it looks rad AF! grin (Skip to 1:38 for gameplay trailer.)

So. Y'know the folks behind the Sonic 1/2 mobile decompilations?

Um, yeah, they just released a decompilation of Sonic Mania.

Expect this to be their last project, though— at least, for now. That means no decompiled Origins version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, unfortunately.

Someone oughta call a plumber, because we got potential leaks related to Sonic Frontiers merchandise incoming!

Deets:

  • The leaks say something about the game releasing November 15, 2022.
  • There's also something about 2 pieces of DLC.
  • One that'll get the speculation train a-rolling: a poster of Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles! (Slightly better look!)

What will be the controversy with him now be?

First it was him being cocky, then an alternate counterpart of his hating friendship, then him killing some mooks, and then the Metal Virus nonsense.

What will it be next, him doing some bad joke the fandom will exagerate for years to come?
