Yeah, the vagueness kinda annoyed me as well. Someone I know in a Discord server did something similar, where all she said was "wow Mike Pollock did a bad, check his twitter to find out"
Vagueposting just feels cheap.
"That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another."I think that if I had to make a choice between the humans we got in the past games and the generic forces character maker npcs, I'd probably choose the humans.
Like, animal side characters exist in most of the cartoons aside from X and they work there, but the games don't seem to be able to do that.
@Rabbitearblog: Tails Tube is generally well received for its very useful lore clarifications.
Also, Mike Pollack came forward.
The truth was EXACTLY as I thought.
tldr version: something meant completely innocuous -> free palastine crowd got aggressive -> snowballed out of control as he got mentally cornered (plus getting late at night doesnt help either). Him having a son at a campus where protestors got violent doesn’t help either.
Notable Sega leaker Midori has posted something called “Sonic Rumble”.
Edit: appears to be the Final name of Sonic Toys Party.

Sonic Mania really did Sonic 1 dirty. Only one zone and it's the most overused zone in the series. I think Hydrocity should've been Labyrinth since it would be funny (especially if Eggman sends Sonic there) and it's a chance to salvage the most hated zone in that game. Hell I'd have loved to have seen zones like Hill Top or Spring Yard.

Okay this Tails Tube was pretty funny.

I mean, Sonic CD has pretty much dreamlike takes on the Sonic 1 zones, so Stardust Speedway/Star Light and Mechanical Madness/Scrap Brain sorta makes up for that.
I will forever like 1 more than 2 due to 1 being the first game I ever played, and I dig the "platformer that can go fast" more than "GOTTA GO FAST" approach; 3&K is the better game anyway.
Personally, I’m glad that for once they kept the Sonic 1 favoritism low.
That said, I still feel Oil Ocean was a weird choice for Sonic 2 rep.
I also feel like treating Sonic 3 and Knuckles as a single game gives it an unfair advantage when it comes to ranking the classic titles, even if nowadays there’s never any inconvenience getting both halves of the package together.

My musician pageSure, but it cost twice as much to the players.
Definitely worth the cost, but that becomes a lopsided comparison.

I agree there. Marble Zone and Labyrinth Zone in particular bring the first game down a bit, but the core gameplay still set a strong foundation.
The entire supporting cast of the franchise, Speaking In Unison: "The greater good."
x5 I dunno, if Sonic Mania was to have a second Sonic 1 stage, I would kill for it to be Marble Zone. Yes, I actually like Marble Zone. I like its theme and aesthetics.
Sonic Superstars is fine thus far. But you can tell it was made by Arzest. Things like the bosses being balanced around multiplayer without taking single player into account, multiplayer being an afterthought, the Chaos Emerald powers being an afterthought, and small details like being encased in a bubble not having an animation show a lack of care or attention. The Chaos Emeralds powers could be fixed by making them mandatory. Say you have the emeralds at the start but they're depowered. Completing special stages would restore the emerald and make it's associated power better. That way the game can be designed around the powers while still having special stages to get emeralds.

Yeah, a nonsense twitter thread that reads like it was written by poorly programmed AI is not as bad as what I was expecting. As to Mike Polluck, based on what was said here, I thought he may have gone off on anti-gay tirade calling for them to be banned or something. Instead, I gather he said something about conflict in the middle east. Honestly, being vague about what was going on just leads people to jump to the worst possible conclusions.
