I think the real lesson here is that at one point the American Sonic comics where an embarrassing furry soap opera and the only really good version of Amy is the one from the British comics where they kept her CD design, armed her with a crossbow and sent her off to have universe-hopping space adventures with her genius canary girlfriend.

UK Amy sounds interesting, albeit also like a completely different character. Shame about Sonic himself, who has kept me from reading those comics for years. But Archie Amy shows you can write Amy as keeping her interest in Sonic and same overall character, while still being proactive, effective, and with distinct relationships like an actual respect and friendship with characters like Sally. That's what has her win over other adaptations in my book.

Augus posted:why were people making GBS threads on the only good Sonic writer It was a combination of "lol, you write the sonic comic", him being too enthusiastic (he put a reference to I think BSS in one of the comics and people got angry/snarky about it) and it being one of the absolute most negative times when it came to any discussion of Sonic.

Clearly we need to invite him back and buy him plat to smoothe things over in this, 2017, the year of Sonic's glorious renaissance. In all seriousness, he's deserved to write a Sonic game for a long time so I really hope he is writing Forces.

Macaluso posted:I remember the comic got rebooted because Sega was like at crying Sonic but I think it's interesting characters like Sally, Rotor, Antoine etc are still able to be in the story. I wonder if Sega just considerd them established enough to stick around? I think it's more that those characters predated Ken Penders and could be easily traced back to Not Penders. The characters got refreshed because of Penders' lawsuit, not because of Sega holding the reins tighter.

With the exception of Windy Hill, Sonic Lost World's soundtrack was the dullest, most generic soundtrack of the entire series. It sounded like a bootleg Mario track, which only makes sense because Sonic Lost World was a bootleg Mario Galaxy minus the fun.

I totally see why they did it, but it really bugs me that there's this gender divide on clothing in the series- female characters have to cover their shame, males are the default and can go without pants. I'd really rather just think of all the funny cartoon animals as not having anything they'd need to cover.

The reason I am glad she has pants is because previous artists gave Sally a lovingly-rendered backside that raised a generation of freaks. The less excuse to draw squirrelcheeks the better.

I'm hoping that Mania is a way of playing it safe with old content while seeing how the new content is received with a mind to letting them loose with an all-new game in future, maybe even Sonic 5? Sega must be feeling really cautious after completely misjudging Sonic 4, so the fact they're still trying to take steps in that direction is promising.

I hope sonic mania gets dlc in the form of new levels until eternity so I can just roll around in 2d sonic and be happy.

Spiderdrake posted:I honestly feel like, over the course of development since the first teasers, they might have loosened the leash. Originally it looked like maybe 3 new levels, then a bunch of remixes. Then the game is delayed right after they show off GHZ act 2, which is all new besides some of the sprites. And fan direction, at least from what I've seen here and on youtube, has been very positive about putting in more new content.

TFRazorsaw posted:UK Amy sounds interesting, albeit also like a completely different character. What didn't you like about Sonic's characterization? Genuinely interested, as STC sonic is like my favorite incarnation of the character, although did read them as a kid so nostalgia may pay a factor there. It's refreshing to me that they didn't shy away from him being a bit of a prick, he really felt like a character with an attitude rather than a character with 'attitude'. I've not actually read much of the Archie series, and but given the quality of what I have seen of the modern stuff I've no doubt they've turned Amy into something good, but characterwise I can't imagine she bears much resemblance to the Amy from Adventure anymore, as she barely had any.

Mania will be good but I'm not so sure about Forces since I didn't really like how Generations played. I'll still check it out on Switch if that version is good. I hope they could try something new again like Lost World. That game was massively flawed but I thought it was a step in the right direction.
