    • Welcome To Your New-Look SSMB!   07/11/15

      Hello! You might have noticed that this place has changed a little bit since you last saw it. Welcome to the Sonic Stadium Message Board - 2015 Edition! The moderators, Bmn and myself have been working really hard these last few weeks to make sure the upgrade from IPB 3 to IPB4 was as seamless as possible, whilst also taking the opportunity to update the look and feel of The Sonic Stadium in a modern way. So there are a whole bunch of technical things that have changed, as well as cosmetic changes that relate to how the forum works. You'll see your username above the main content area: click that and a dropdown menu will appear containing most of the options you need to work your profile. Next to your username are a bunch of quick icons that take you to Notifications and Direct Messages. In the blue bar underneath the header, you'll see an 'SSMB' link on the far right (next to the search button), hover your mouse over that and you'll see different sections of the forum, like Calendar and Forum Staff pages etc. Posting replies is simpler than ever, and a lot of the bugs that have been prevalent in the forum this past year have been squashed. (Needless to say though, that if you're seeing anything that's a bit wonky, do post in the Member Feedback/Bug Reports forum, as it will help us troubleshoot stuff!) The cosmetic changes are part and parcel of a wider initiative by myself to reinvent The Sonic Stadium in 2015. Did you know that this plucky little website will be 15 years old in October? It's been through an awful lot, and with the changing habits of forum goers and website readers alike I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to present the site (and forum) in a way that makes sense for everyone in today's era. That's why you see a chop-and-change of some of the forum listings on the homepage - SSMB has been re-organised so that discussion is at the top of the list, and the more popular forums are front and center so you can access them much more easily. Needless to say, SSMB's butterfly change into this current form is a prelude to what will soon happen on The Sonic Stadium itself, later this year - a lot more housecleaning is needed on the main site yet, before I can fully unleash the revamped design. Either way, I hope you like this new look and functionality, and are looking forward to what's coming soon! As this is brand new forum software, there will naturally be some elements that haven't crossed over to this new SSMB immediately - namely Badges. We are working hard to get these back, don't worry. They're not lost forever! We're working on a way of getting them back to you.  Stay tuned on that front! You can comment on this news in the topics situated in the Announcements forum, here.

Goddammit Sega! NOW you include him?! And why do you decide to make Riders look interesting NOW?! Come on you fucking trolls!!!

Also this game actually looks interesting. Only problem is the gameplay looks fucking shit. Seriously, lava track at the end with some pretty sick looking track layout, WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE THE GAME PLAY GOOD!?!?

"SWITCH!"

It would amuse me endlessly if Eggman's voice work was all recycled from the older games, so we'd be hearing random clips of Deem Bristow alongside the new cast.

I'm liking the look of the new tracks... that lava track reminds me a lot of Flame Core or The Cauldron. I don't think there's ever been a fire-themed track in the Riders series before, has there? There have been plenty of ice tracks, but the one in the trailer definitely looks cool. Dammit, game, stop being enticing. You know I can't buy you.

EDIT: Metal Sonic? Oh, man, please give us the Chaotix, too. Please?

I swear to god if they are in THIS game I will rage so hard. That might've given me a reason to grit my teeth and bear with the bland as hell looking gameplay and try it out for the Chaotix, but I wouldn't be able to because A] it's on fucking Kinect and B] IT'S ON THE FUCKING KINECT!

It's amazing how just one character (and one that is essentially just a robot clone of the main protagonist, at that) can have such an impact on people :P

Metal Sonic proves that more characters = more people will buy a game. ^^ Cause you know..Every character has his/her fans. Thank you, Metal Sonic for explaining such an obvious thing to the Sonic fandom.

Metal Sonic says that having only Sonic as a playable character is NO GOOD. xD

P.S. Ah, Doctor MK was quicker xD.

So watching that trailer... If I buy Kinect and this game, and the following doesn't happen I want a full refund.

* I can jump in the air as high as that dude without crashing through my bedroom floor.

* I can jump in the air as high as that dude without someone in the house yelling "STOP RUDDY JUMPING ABOUT YOU'LL COME THROUGH THE CIELING YOU RUDDY MONKEY!"

* I can pull off those matrix style moves at the end without falling over.

* I can pull off those matrix style moves at the end without my knee snapping.

* I can pull off those matrix style moves at the end without my back going out.

* I can pull off those matrix moves.

* At the end of the first stage... I don't look like a human sweat box factory.

GAH! I really should have held off making my article. I really didn't expect there to be more characters revealed in this trailer, since the Japanese one and the screenshots thus far haven't :lol:

Kinect's price tag, the mediocre gameplay... need I go on? ;)

No bunch of pixels (or whatever the hell the character models are made up of these days) is going to make me buy into this.

Only Rosalina has that power.

Mwahaha.

If they cut the non-SEGA characters (which they probably did to separate this from the All-Star series) they should definitely fill those slots with Sonic characters. Metal is a lock, perhaps Espio, Vector with Charmy (Charmy probably wouldn't be too amazing on his own considering his size) and Big would be awesome. Might as well toss in Silver, Marine, Blaze and Fang since they nearly have the whole series cast anyway.

I guess I'll be the first to say it...didn't Sega say that there were going to be no new characters in Free Riders that weren't already playable in the series before? Guess they suddenly had extra time to include more characters, unless Metal Sonic's the only new addition and that's it. Definitely a good choice! And Shadow appears at 0:13 right after the guy does the boost. He's hard to see because of the blur effect though XD

Maybe they meant the Sonic series as a whole, as in "Danny the Dingo will not debut in this game"

She's at the beginning of the trailer. Hard to see, due to the boosting.
