I think I can see why they ultimately recast Harley Quinn after Arkham Asylum, Arleen Sorkin sounds super tired and strained
-
Pretty sure she wasn’t recast, she just chose to retire following Asylum.

Gotta wonder what Evening Star is up to? I doubt it's anything related to Sonic, but they also haven't really given any major updates
Their last Twitter post is from like, almost 2 years ago, too
-
As expected it sounds like Mike isn't going anywhere
-
Damnit...was hoping he'd get replaced by Jim Carrey.

Why the hell would Jim Carrey ever be a replacement? The reason Ben Schwartz is on the table at all is because he has a history in VA work in both film and television.

Well, if they ever wanted some consistency with the movie...and since everybody was pissing themselves at how good he was as Eggman.

I don't hate the guy, but honestly Roger's Sonic never clicked with me. I always thought he sounded way too old and he sounded out of breath half the time

We're about to see a lot of kids become very confused and or angry about the voice cast change
It happened when we switched to the 4Kids cast, it happened when we switched to Studiopolis, and well, history repeats itself
-
The Balan Wonderland demo is very.....eh at best and kinda baffling at worst
-
Why what's wrong with it?

Oh so it's just the Switch version running poorly?
-
Redemption reacted to this
-
I haven't tried the other versions yet or looked much into them, but yeah, it runs poorly, and as far as gameplay goes, it feels like a kinda weirdly cobbled together tribute to NiGHTS and Sonic Adventure in a blend that doesn't entirely work

kinda expecting this but still disappointed.

Much like Kingdom Hearts, I find Sonic lore much less headache inducing if you just nod your head and say "Yeah that totally makes sense!" even though I know damn well it doesn't
-
I don’t think Kingdom Hearts’ lore got particularly bad until it got to DDD, and even then I think the downfall was time travel.
Everything before that, I don’t think it’s that hard to get, there’s a few minor retcons here and there, but nothing terrible that screws with the lore. I think DDD even had a few decent lore ideas like dreaming worlds, nobodies regaining their hearts and Xehanort splitting his heart into various vessels. It’s just...there’s no way to justify the time travel nonsense and it’s not remotely explained well whatsoever.
and unfortunately, 3 and MoM suffers from it more and more, especially since Nomura is so salty over VS 13 that he’s determined to turn Kingdom Hearts into some crappy pseudo Versus 13. I love a lot of the original KH elements, and characters like Roxas are among my favourites ever, but the unreality, Verum Rex bullshit is more or less my tipping point. I wanted to slam my head into a desk as soon as I heard that the fictional realm is a fucking thing in MoM.
-
Sonic lore is a broken mess and I've come to terms with that. I've become so numb to it that I don't react anymore and if I do react, it's just a simple roll of the eyes.
This is strange since with any other series like for example, Mortal Kombat, I'd get so angry at the constant retcons, character inconsistencies, ideas that go nowhere and a narrative choice that makes the villains seem more like jobbers than an actual threat. Bizarre coincidence that MKs lore became damaged beyond repair when time travel was incorporated too.
-
Sonic (games at least) could be much more comprehensible if they'd just fix a few big things about it; nothing compare to the deliberately twisty turny KH lore. I will give KH one thing, at least it never thought to just throw out all those risks it took and reduce the story and writing to mere random potty humor like Sonic did. The quality in story may have still suffered, but at least I'd say it still has some "dignity" in playing it whole fanfic vibe with a straight face.

Christ the Michael Keaton Batsuit looks uncomfortable, looks like he can't even turn his neck
-
-
He couldn't. Thats why he dramatically turns every time he has to look elsewhere.
The Dark Knight had Lucius and Bruce take a small jab at it when designing the new suit.

So when a Sonictuber says they have "confirmed sources", it's safe to dismiss everything they say as grade A bullshit, right? Because the usual suspects are doing that
-
Are Sonictubers anything like the Smashtubers that are constantly begging for news and report on whatever rumors have the most traction on 4chan?
Then yes.
-
At least with Smash, it can to be fun to watch how far people go to try and bait people with overly elaborate "leaks" of the characters they'd want, regardless of how belivable the end result ends up being. They put needlessly too much talent in drawing or even modeling a render to take a blurry photo out of. And there is still some truth behind all this; many real fighters had been popular choices amongst leakers before they got picked.
Sonic leaks all look the same, have no effort put into photo/video evidence, and are just plain embarassing.

Well, looks like that redemption didn't last too long

I think one day I'd like to do a video on the XBLA demo for '06 to try and dispel the rumors about it being "better" than retail
Retail did improve some things from it, believe it or not. Camera is significantly more sluggish in the demo, there's a really weird score overflow glitch and collision is like, a billion times worse
-
-
It's certainly not better, but it is interesting and has some differences that are better. For one, the air dash has an arc to it in the demo. That's very useful for platforming and resembles every other game before it, unlike the final where you drop straight down (unless you use the white gem).
On the flipside, you can clip through any wall without fail just by spindashing next to it. The final game is obviously stupidly buggy, but it at least managed to fix that.

Don't wanna get my hopes up too high for this news of a supposed new KotOR game
I've been in this fandom for a long time and have seen a lot of reboot/remake/sequel rumors come and go, and nothing ever comes of them. Not to mention, I just don't think the magic of the original could be recreated today
-
Aren't they already rolling out the whole High Republic thing as the new "Golden Age of the Republic and Jedi" thing? Sure, it does take place much later than Old Republic so it's possible they can coexist, but I feel it risk confusing the ʳᵉpublic with two different "Republic" franchises if a new game releases along side the former.

Hearing Sonic 3 AIR now works on Switch kinda makes me wanna splurge a little and get a modded Switch just to have the best versions of the Classic Sonic games available to me basically whenever I want
-
Yeah it's basically the re-release of Sonic 3 that I've always wanted, but Switch hacking just looks like too much of a hassle to make it worth it.

Honestly Arkham Origins isn't so bad. It's super derivative of City and doesn't really do anything "new" but Mr. Freeze in City not withstanding, Origins probably has the best boss fights of all the Arkham games
-
It was more Arkham city which, even at the time, I was 100% down for.
To me, it easily has the most kinetic story in the series. Also, the remote grapple is the best gadget ever and I'm still mad they didn't bring it into Knight.
