Reminder that Korone (anime dog vtuber) did a collab with Sonic Frontiers





She was also a voice in the Japanese dub of Sonic 2 (Although no one seems to know where though - possibly as a background voice at some point)

I just heard Willem Dafoe and Brian Cranston as potential Geralds and as much as I would like it to just be Jim Carrey in old guy make-up, either of those would be incredible.

Y’know, I figured it had to be someone big for how long they were waiting to announce it and how secretive they were being (having him not speak in the CinemaCon trailer)….but I did not see that coming lmao :hellyeah:

I don't know how true this is, but apparently there's big problems with Sonic 3.

They're really behind schedule and it looks as if marketing commitments are going to force them to split it into two movies so they have something to put out on time. The next part will include some of the content already made as well as all new content yet to be created. When both parts are put together, it will play out like one big long story.
You joke but I think they already did this joke with the Knuckles streaming series.

They’re releasing Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Only this time the Knuckles portion happens first (also the idea of an ancient echidna warlord working in a bowling alley sounds fun to me)

Nice, do we have any idea what time the new update is dropping?

I still feel like that with a couple gameplay tweaks/additions and maybe some extra content Dream Team would have made a perfectly serviceable console title honestly

It’s out now (only half the zone is available though so it looks like this’ll be a multi part release)

lol so apparently the Knuckles series is, by screentime, mostly about Wade Whipple. Which, you know, probably makes some monetary/scheduling sense to the suits since it's still Idris Elba as Knuckles, but lmao, it really is "& Knuckles"

TBH in the right hands, a long-suffering everyman having to deal with the antics of a self-important cartoon video game animal warrior guy sounds pretty entertaining. I mean that's basically half the first movie and it was alright.

This from what I understand is basically a sequel, and apparently there's a lengthy forced tutorial and you're required to play (or win?) a Grand Prix before you can play multiplayer or use mods.

I heard it's also more gimmicky then SRB2K, my friends who are big fans of SRB2K do not seem to like Ring Racers much at all for these reasons combined.

The tutorial is longer than it should be but unlocking online took me about 30 minutes, and they have passwords to skip the tutorial and online unlock. I think they realize that this is clumsy for getting people to pick up and play so they'll likely change it. I wouldn't call it overly gimmicky, there are just three new big mechanics for people to build maps around. A boost system with rings (they don't work like Mario Kart coins), a spin dash for rough terrain, slopes, and the start of each race, and a trick system. My only real complaint so far is that the item button has like 3 actions tied to it.

The tutorial isn't the worst thing in the world but suffers from being a bit overbearing and wordy, spending too long on certain explanations like springs while not even going over some basic mechanics like parrying projectiles. It doesn't help that it's mandatory without using a code, which leaves a poor first impression for someone who just wants to go in and play the game especially if you're coming from SRB2K which you can just launch and go from the start.

What I've heard from the people who played Kart 1.0 is that this has some problems. I haven't tried it so I don't know how much of this stuff has made it into the final release, but controversial additions included a system where you jostle for position at the start of the race instead of being lined up on a fixed grid, some really long hitstop every time your kart gets hit, and a new type of ultra punishing damage called 'tumble' that makes your kart bounce around through the air uncontrollably.

I will say that once you get past the annoyances, it is actually a very fun game. It's more complicated than SRB2K and while the game throws a lot of new mechanics at you it flows pretty well once you've digested it all. The biggest change between the two games is that you can now pick up rings during a match, which you can burn to give yourself some extra speed to overtake other racers and drive up super steep hills. The race startup sequence is actually pretty close to Sonic Riders, where you have free control of your character during the countdown and want to try to cross the starting line at 0, with a pretty massive time penalty if you cross too early. The courses are pretty neat, with an aesthetic inspired by the Adventure games. I actually do recommend playing it if you can get past some early game problems
