Pretty sure she wasn’t recast, she just chose to retire following Asylum.

In 2011, yeah

But that was when Arkham City released so the voice over was likely recorded in late 2010 or so

Given DCUO is a MMO, I’d imagine it was in development for awhile and voice recording was done around the time as Asylum. I’m pretty sure she had stopped VA work for awhile prior to Asylum, and came back one last time for it.

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.

The kids already had to endure seeing four different Sonic designs running around, two of which sharing the same screen at two points

Why what's wrong with it?

As far as the Switch version goes, low quality textures, heavy aliasing, and it lags a lot, like, a lot a lot, averaging around 15-20 fps

Oh so it's just the Switch version running poorly?

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.

I've only watched the Switch footage so far. Looks dreadful on Switch, but even aside from that it doesn't actually look like a very good game.

Haven't played it myself yet, but from the videos I've seen, it looks really, really boring. I've gone from 'cautiously optimistic' to just plain 'cautious.' Really hope the game picks up.

...This is starting to feel very appropriately like an average Sonic game cycle. 

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.

I will bring all criminals to justice...

just don't make me look behind me

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.

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.

@Zaysho

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.

What did I miss???

Our wedding planning friend tried to make a comeback, and he did for a while, but it looks like he's banned again unless I'm misreading things

Hmm. Haven't seen any sign that he's banned. What was your hint?

Looking at my follower list, he's sort of faded out just like Levi before him

Unless I am dumb and that does not mean he was banned, which is entirely possible, but I remember it being more solid like every other slot before

Faded out usually just means he's listed as an anonymous follower.

The light dash in the demo is much better though, it works exactly like SA2. There's also less slowdown.

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.

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.

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.

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.
