I don’t remember if the thing with the murals was ever confirmed but it makes a lot of sense that Gerald would’ve seen them since other stuff like the Artificial Chaos and the shrine in the ARK’s core point to him having researched the echidna ruins.

Chieves posted:Looking back at SA2, it is kind of beautiful how balls to the wall Sonic Team went, especially with how this really was potentially a swan song for Sega and possibly the franchise as a whole. Not everything landed (Kart Racing), but man, they WENT for it. When I got my Gamecube afterwards, I was a bit confused. What do you mean, Super Mario Sunshine doesn't have multiple playable characters, each with their own gameplay style and genre of music? No multiplayer mode, no racing minigame, no free downloadable content, no GBA connectivity, no buttrock final boss theme and vocal ending music, no goddamn reward for 100% completion, and no pet raising minigame that could have been its own full price release. Challenge video that doesn't disappoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzarFO0LYag

im sorry for inflicting this upon sonic yhread, but if you are like me hopelessly addicted to godawful, overwrought game journo features, this one from RPS on frontiers is a banger:Rock Paper Shotgun posted:The Sonic fanbase is vehemently post-truth, and has been since the Sega Saturn was a thing. It’s a fanbase I have found myself increasingly alienated from, and whose anger seems to have dramatically increased with its unwarranted self-assurednes

womb with a view posted:A secret research project for immortality in space, Watching the Cell arc around the same time as this game coming out was like discovering something you never knew you wanted but now can't get enough of. I love every time a game journalist plays a classic Sonic game and immediately forgets everything they ever knew about games. "Where am I supposed to go? Does this game seriously expect me to stop and pick up every ring?"

The RPS reminds me of during that game awards poll thing, Imran Khan going "LOOK AT HOW AWFUL THE SONIC FANDOM IS" and pointing at a tweet that was like "let's go baby #SonicSweep" as his proof.

Mario Sunshine actually has incredibly good handling, it's just they only made half of the levels they were supposed to make and half of what they did make was bad.

DoctorWhat posted:Okay let's not slander Mario 64, Mario 64 is one of the greatest speedgames of all time and basically invented the good 3D platformer. Yeah, Mario 64 and SA2 are still the kings of the genre for me. I've tried a few modern indie 3D platformers, but I don't want a triple jump or zero inertia. I don't want a big scavenger hunt like Banjo or Yooka-Laylee. I don't want a bunch of 2D segments where they also remove half of your moveset. DoctorWhat posted:The Chao Garden in SA1DC is crap. SA2B/SADX is when it got good. I like the energy they have. The garden music, race music and even the animations on the chao are much more uptempo. Just look at the spin they all do before they enter the race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO3F06eESz8&t=15s Everything's a lot more calm and relaxed in SA2, which fits the mode a lot more but it's fun to see a different take on it.
