If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

They were also very silly and not really concerned about the plot blowing up the world, which is a bonus.

Unleashed probably had the best 'story' I've seen for Sonic, where it wasn't that serious despite being a serious 'thing'. Like yeah the worlds blown up and we gotta fix it but ya know, in a chill way.

Sonic's first reaction to learning that Eggman blew up the world, awoke a primal horror, and is now forced to painfully transform twice a day was "Sounds like a great excuse to see the world!!" That is the way he absolutely should be.

I think people have said before that the reason for this is probably that a smaller dev team, like the one working on Mania, might not get the NX so far in advance, while Sonic Team probably does. So it'll probably come out for the NX, but maybe not at launch.

The engine they use for Mania and the remasters is basically a monolithic C++ black box using no more than standard libraries compiled for insert target platform here that you can hook platform-specific i/o interfaces to. The rendering engine is all done in software and CPU rather than hardware-specific. As a result, porting to different platforms is a piece of piss. That was part of the pitch of the engine for remasters - they can just keep porting Sonic forever easily.

It'd probably be easy to get it up for the NX at the same time, it's probably just Nintendo was still playing silly buggers with secrecy at announcement time, and negotiating a contract with three external studios for a port would've been annoying as hell. Speculation, but technically there's no reason it'd be difficult to launch with it.

There's no shame in admitting that Sonic has more great songs than a single run could handle.

Is the cityscape background with the windmills Studiopolis still? I feel like yes but the way the backgrounds change gives me the impression the levels are all huge.

I kinda feel like they're going to show more as the game gets closer to done to build hype. It is 6-8 months off after all

I like how Sonic is squished against the right side of the screen as a result of them cutting off the edges to make it 4:3

Scourge used to be called Evil Sonic and wore the exact same outfit so my guess is that I love the writers of the new Sonic comics

Ian is still the writer and has been from... I think 160. beyond a few moments where he'll rely on fan meme's that aren't really funny (stuff like Green Biker Dude in the Megaman comic.) He's a fairly good writer though.

Ian Flynn is the only person who should be allowed to write Sonic. It's a crime on the part of Sonic Team that he isn't their hear writer and they got the Happy Tree Friends dudes who don't even care about the franchise instead. Ian Flynn is the Carl Banks of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Friends who are also Steam users; how can we convince Sega to get Sonic Generations and/or Sonic Mania cards?

Cards mean badges and badges mean emotes or backgrounds, both of which those games would benefit us to have. I really want a 16-bit chili dog emote.
