Can't believe Prime might be the best Sonic cartoon if it keeps that quality of writing from the clip.

Yeah, Prime is looking like quite the show so far.

So about Frontiers... is it actually possible to parry Giganto's attacks and I'm just bad at this game or is dodging your only option and I'm just bad at this game?

Also, am I being overly cautious with that spoiler markup?

Not only can you parry his attacks, you should as much as you can, or else the fight takes a billion years to complete.

If you have enough skill points, some of the learned attacks (the homing attack and the dash one, in particular) can make it go faster, but for most of the Titans landing those parries is where most of your damage is intended to come from.

Something that might really help with parrying that I only learned after that fight is that you don't actually have to perfect parry anything. You can hold a parry, and if you put in the input for a parry a few seconds early it'll still work.

You can just hold the buttons to Parry. No timing is necessary.

It does look like Sonic Prime will be a really good Sonic cartoon and one that will be much closer to the games.

Pariah tackles the Riders games.....those mods seem interesting.

Also Its so funny how much Frontiers' story cribs from these game's story. Like almost beat for beat the same plot points.

[up][up][up] Pariah made a whole deal out of the scene of Knuckles asking how the extreme Gears float, because he thought Knuckles was asking how the Island float.

Talk about embarrasing.

I learned about the mod scene for Riders and Zero Gravity somewhat recently and was surprised that the games had that cult following. Pretty cool. My big problem with Zero Gravity was that the game was too focused on forcing the player to use the Gravity mechanics, slowing down and hampering a lot of the other movement from the first game in the process. A mod adjusting and fixing that game would probably get me to prefer Zero Gravity over the first game.

I really enjoyed the first Sonic Riders game. It was really fun! I thought the second game was okay and I never played the third game.

Riders was an excellent spinoff, felt like a begginner's F-Zero. Never really found Zero Gravity engaging, and Free Riders deserves scorn.

I have no idea which Riders game this is but I like the scene where Eggman randomly holds everyone at gunpoint to get the secret treasure only to find out it's a rug.

Free Riders wouldn't have crashed NEARLY as hard as it did if it didn't have to be shackled to the kinect.

Note, I'm not saying that the riders spinoffs would have survived; I suspect Sega at the time didn't want spinoffs for Sonic, and may have wanted Free Riders to crash and burn on Kinect so they had an excuse to axe them.

Speaking of motion controlled Sonic titles, Geek Critique just released an interesting look at Secret Rings:

This honestly might be the one review to have me go back and give it a try at some point. I had forgotten about the depth offered by the unlockable skills, and while the story and aesthetics are fairly "meh" to me, the reminder of the level design beyond the awful tutorial stage seems more impressive that what I remembered.

I think Secret Rings is generally remembered as a gorgeous, inventive and intriguingly designed game that probably would've been tons of fun if the control scheme wasn't a big dealbreaker for a lot of people.

A remake with more approachable controls might've been fairly well received.

If you'd said that before Colors got a remake, I'd agree with you. Unfortunately, I think that fiasco poisoned the well for a lot of people on Sonic remakes.

...

Secret Rings steers as if using a steering wheel. Quite fluid once you got the hang out of it, I actually enjoyed it more than Unleashed (then again, I wasn't depressed in Christmas 2007, while I was depressed in the 2008 equivalent).
