DLC will be the big determining factor. I could see one more playable base game, and then any further ones (Mighty? Ray?) being paid content down the line.

"Trip isn't a very feminine name...but then again neither is Amy."

Amy is literally a name for women in the west?

Amy is a girl name in the west. Ami, meanwhile, is a girl name in Japan. The name is derived from the French word amee, meaning "beloved" - following a pattern of girls being named for flowery terms of endearment.

I'm genuinely curious now. Where is Amy not considered a girl name?

EDIT: "Amy Rose", incidentally, has both "Girls named for flowery terms of endearment" and "Girls named after cutesy feminine things" going for her. This is an unapologetically feminine character.

That said, I'm pretty sure there is a male Ars Geotia demon with the name Amy.

That exception aside, it also serves a as diminutive of "Amelia" (which might also stem form the french root)

General incompetence isn't really the same...especially from a group of failures.

Trip is a lackey and an honest one, they didn't mean to get Fang caught in that Sonic Mania reference trap...it was Fang's own fault.

I’m thinking if Trip doesn’t do a Heel–Face Turn, it might be a sign that perhaps they’re possibly going to return Bark and Bean to the pre-Archie characterization where they’re just one of Sonic’s friends.

Mainly since we haven’t seen the bear and bird with Nack.

I could see them having Bean, Bark, and Honey as a trio, they all did debut in the same game after all.

Huh.

That's a perfect heroes trio right there.

Bean flies (well, ok, we never see him fly, but there's no proof they couldn't make him fly if they wanted), Bark provides power, and Honey can just get a speed boost, ala Amy in Heroes.

...anyone noticed that with the exception of Rouge and Charmy, most flying creatures in this series don't actually fly.

...then again, the only other flying creatures are the Babylon Rogues. Maybe I'm just seeing something that's not there.

Apparently, at one point, DIC was considering making a fourth animated Sonic program (it actually would have been the third, coming before Underground,) Super Sonic Sisters. It would have focused on Sonic's twin cousins (with a Sibling Yin-Yang going on where one is perky and fast, while the other is methodical and bookish) who go to high school in outer space where they run the school's news program "Comet Tails."

Strangely not the only cancelled Sonic media from the 90s to have "Sister" in the title. I didn't think something so specific would have multiple members in it to be a category.

It's pretty jarring how stiff literally everything in Sonic Superstars is animated outside of the characters.

Classic Sonic is animated so much better than he was in Generations and Forces (awkward figure 8 animation aside) but the animals, bosses, and even those springy vines are just not anywhere near as fluid.

In fairness that is kind of in style with the classic games where the animals had about two frames of animation each.tongue

I'm kind of shocked "The director of Sonic CD is the head of this game" is being used as a way to preemptively insult the game.

Sonic CD suddenly being anything other than one of the fanbase's darlings is news to me too.

The biggest complaints are its large expansive environments and lackluster spindash. Having big open spaces and so many branching paths isn't a bad idea, but it's not always conducive to strong focused level design and makes it hard to build up speed.

I know what the complaints are, it's just new to me that the fanbase, as a whole, actually cares about those complaints more than they do its positives all of a sudden.

Typically, Sonic CD is lauded as one of the best games in the series despite those drawbacks. That it's director is involved in Superstars is being considered a drawback to the game is shocking to me too: it's not something I would've expected.

[up][up] Ever since it became a lot more available with its HD ports CD’s gotten a lot more criticism over the years. Not to the extent that people saying the director for it is working on a new game should be cause for alarm though.
