azurite posted:Did they ever fix the PC version to include analog controls? I don't believe so, still 8-direction afaik. I wanted to point out that Naka and Ohshima's new game, Balan Underworld, is not an Xbox exclusive and is also coming to PS4, Switch, and PC. So everyone can play it.

Larryb posted:The fact that they’re calling it Sonic Colors Ultimate makes one think that there’s going to be some new content. But we’ll see I guess. There was some leaked art of Sonic Colors Ultimate that showed the Jade wisp from Team Sonic Racing, so that indicates that there is at least something added to the game.

Hmm I looked back and it was shown to me through private chats and I don't see that it's publicly known so my apologies, you'll have to trust me on this for now. Hopefully we get some official announcements soon.

A Cup of Ramen posted:How does one go about reading the IDW comics anyway, can I just go to their website and pay a sub to read through them all or what? I've been reading them for free by borrowing digital eBooks from my library via the Libby app. It works great and they look beautiful on my iPad. The downside of course is they don't have the most recent stuff I guess? But I'm on volume 5 or 6 now and going through them slowly.

My old-school Sonic online friend group is going to watch this live together for the first time in our 24+ years together. Trying to keep my expectations to nothing. I'll be happy or indifferent to whatever they show. At least that's what I keep telling myself... 40 minutes! EDIT: Here are the links btw. Twitch is usually several seconds ahead of YouTube from my experience with the PlayStation streams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwjPEcWU5Fc https://www.twitch.tv/sonic

I'm probably going to do the same. It helps that I've never played through Sonic Colors so it's a new game to me.Skeletome posted:https://twitter.com/KatieChrz/status/1397972387870642178 Thank goodness.

Yeah on PSN it's listed as a 9/6/21 release, and the Digital Deluxe is 9/2/21. So the day after each of those if we're assuming a midnight/late night release on those dates.

PlasticAutomaton posted:So how long has it been since the last release of Sonic 3? I guess this means they finally settled the soundtrack issue with MJ's estate. Maybe Sonic 3 & Knuckles on Steam, which was released in 2011? And I'm going to guess that this new release will probably change the music out to avoid any rights disputes. So prepare yourselves for that.

Larryb posted:Didn’t they already change the music for a PC release of the game a long while back? Yes, Sonic & Knuckles Collection in 1997 (and my first exposure to the game). It used what is now known as the beta songs to replace the disputed MJ tracks. So maybe they'll use those, or maybe they'll have Tee Lopes remix them or make some new songs. Either way I think it's unlikely we'll have the original tracks in any official releases going forward, unfortunately!

Yeah, I just use "MJ" as shorthand for the whole situation with MJ and Brad Buxer and their teams. Nobody knows full details but the fan speculation is that the rights were in murky gray legal space so that's why Sonic 3&K stopped being included in compilations or released for 10 years now, because doing so with the original music would be a rights violation, and doing so with new music would be an admission of guilt of sorts about having used it in the past. So who knows what this new one will be.

I'm most excited for Origins so I can finally have all the classic Genesis games in one place on both PlayStation and Switch. Finally. I'm also excited for Colors since I never played that one but I'm keeping my expectations in check for that. I don't hate the boost formula but I don't really love it either. I beat Unleashed earlier this year and kind of hated it. I have zero feelings about Rangers for now until we see some more real info on it. I'm keeping my expectations low haha. It's sad that the best we can hope for is a passable, competent game. :P

What Whitehead and others are currently working on is not officially known. Iizuka mentioned Whitehead by name in this recent interview with GI so that seems a little telling to me. https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2021/06/13/sonic-team-head-talks-sonic-origins-next-mainline-game-and-30th-anniversary

Larryb posted:I assume it isn’t Rangers since 3D games don’t really seem to be in their wheelhouse but that gives me some hope at least (maybe they’re involved with the Origins Collection or something) No, to be clear I kind of infer that this means Whitehead and collaborators are working on something else that hasn't been announced yet. Or maybe they're working on the Origins Collection but I kind of don't think that's the case. They're definitely not involved with Rangers, which is being made by Sonic Team. ArfJason posted:one of them was working on a project called vertebreaker or some other pun name. it was a skeleton with a whip This was Simon Thomley's company, Headcannon. It had a Kickstarter that failed and I'm not sure if it's being actively worked on anymore.

I'm posting this since the topic is relevant. Some friends of mine have a new-ish weekly podcast about Sonic the Hedgehog, and the episode that released today is coincidentally also about special stages. And the episode that released last week had Pat Casey as the guest, one of the cowriters of the Sonic movie and the upcoming movie sequel. It's pretty good if you like Sonic way too much, and I think some of the cool Sonic posters in this thread may like it too! https://anchor.fm/ghz-podcast/episodes/17-Idris-Elba-Special-Stages-e15t6es That Anchor link has links to the podcast on Spotify, Apple, and Google if you prefer any of those other services.

I understand from a business perspective why they have to make a Switch version of all these games, but Sonic Team hasn't been a good or even competent game developer in a long time, and unfortunately I think the Switch hardware limitations are holding them back. It would be nice if they could focus on making a game for more powerful hardware but that will definitely not happen, and even if it did, they made Sonic 2006 for only next-gen systems at the time.

They should try to make a good, technically competent game over trying to appeal to the broadest audience possible imo, but I understand the dictating market and business realities make this unviable.

Robot Style posted:The Sonic Rangers leak from a while back mentions a "ghost girl" who refills Super Sonic's rings, and that the Chaos Emeralds are found in "cyberspace" zones, so maybe she (everyone?) is trapped there for some reason. Some info I saw on a game news website last night and maybe got pulled is that the voice is Amy, and Sonic's friends need to be rescued in the AI world or wherever the hell he ends up.

Larryb posted:On a similar note, is it true that Naka is not technically the “father” of Sonic either (and if so, who should mostly be credited with the character’s creation)? Naoto Ohshima was the character designer, and Hirokazu Yasuhara was the game planner and level designer on Sonics 1 and 2. Yuji Naka was the programmer and the guy who made the engine and physics work in the Genesis games. So arguably all three of these people can be equally credited with being the "father" of Sonic but Naka (in)famously has taken most of the credit for it and seemed to assume the title in the zeitgeist.

I met Iizuka and Naka (and Aaron Webber) at an event several years ago. Naka was a little quiet and awkward and spoke only through a translator but was overall nice and pleasant. Iizuka, despite my feelings on the quality of the series output under his reign, I could not help but like. He was a very happy, energetic guy who repeatedly tried to engage me in conversation in English when he saw what a big fan I was. Great guy.
