... Why a Mephiles toy?

Because evil needs hugs too.

Hmmm....
One of the Shadow figure molds was defective, and some enterprising business man said: "Not a problem!"?

Was it not every 7-12 year olds' fantasy to live out the tragic murder of our blue rodent in cute dolly form?

Infinite is at least a recent character. Mephiles is from the considered-by-many worst Sonic game who got literally no representation whatsoever after 06 besides a scene here and there in the comics. Like, why give him a plush over anyone else lmao.
Where's my Solaris phase 2 plush. I'd buy that.

When you're hyped for a possible Sonic Colors remaster but you remember that they apparently ditched nearly the entire voice cast once again so it may have a new voice cast.
-
-
German, French, Spanish and the others that they've been doing some Generations. More if @Jango is right. I don't think they'll redub the game. But depending on what this remaster entails, it might be necessary.

Keep in mind this came from a portfolio website with a date of December 2020. Not sure how long a localisation project like this would take but it'll definitely have been completed in December 2020 assuming that date is correct in the first place. If there was any new content requiring new English voiceover as well it's entirely possible Roger and any other required outgoing cast members were contracted for a short time in order to do this and it turned out to be their final Sonic performances.
It's part of the reason that I think this is due for announcement in the next week or two, German localisation being completed feels like it'd be quite far along in the pipeline. Admittedly I don't not game development so I'm mostly guessing. -
The slim chance it will get redubbed with the new cast does heighten the possibility of a expanded and/or retranslated, de-Pontaffied script in exchange so...
SpoilerComplete the trade?
Kate Higgins did say she ain't done with Tails just yet, so it's possible this is the project she refers to
-
@Supah Berry Kate voiced Tails in Colors, but you are talking about Colleen who is the current voice, she said she's not done yet...
It really depends on what the extra content is, if any.
@Teoskaven I'm italian, I've listened to the dub of various games... honestly they are fine, we have a voice actor world that's very talented, yeah some things are weird though, like Amy, Eggman and even Shadow's current VAs. I don't think they are fitting although very talented in general. Claudio Moneta as Shadow does a good job though, it's the other 2 I mentioned... heh. The rest are great, I'm not convinced about Jasmine Laurenti as Rouge though maybe?

@Blue Blood regarding the stuff I heard, only text localization, not dubbing, at least not yet...

When Sonic the Hedgehog finally gets a game update and it's a Sonic Colors remaster for modern consoles
-
so where's my sonic forces 2 at
-
-
-
-
Eeeeeeeeh it really depends what they want to do with the franchise going onwards gameplay-wise imo.
Considering the Boost formula is most likely gone because god damn SEGA can't hold a playstyle for more than three games reee, I don't think the Avatar style that Sonic Forces had will return. I can see a create-a-character thing happening for a platformer but I'd really rather have the rest of the already existing cast as playable characters instead.
What I do wonder is if the Wisps will return or not, considering Iizuka mentioned by Generations I think that the Wisps would be a regular part of Sonic's gameplay. Is Iizuka still even at Sonic Team? After Forces I'd imagine everything at Sonic Team got flipped upside down.

Travis is the only one left so far right? Everyone else of the main cast is gone?
Besides Mike Pollock that is.

The new guy in TSR is... some of his lines are fine, and other times they are actually legit awful. Skip to 15:34 here:
In that little scene, Knuckle's VA sounds like he's trying way too hard with the whole tough-guy act. And Rouge's VA sounded just fine in both Generations and Forces, but her TSR performance is ghastly. At least Omochao is alright in that scene? lol
A lot of the cast largely sound off in TSR. You can tell that their lines were given to them in the same disjointed way that we seem them presented in the cutscenes. The production values for the story are so low that I have to wonder why they even bother.
-
@Blue Blood from what I had listened to I got the impression he was more directed to imitate Travis who was already being directed to imitate Dan Green so it just sounds really weird. It sticks out more when Papenbrook and Lindbeck got to interpret Silver and Blaze differently and they sounded better for it.

The "cutscenes" in TSR are so inconsequential, so removed from the gameplay and so low quality they the game would have probably benefitted from not having them at all. The least that they could have done to improve these scenes would have been to not include a stupid whoosh sound effect each time the character portrait changes. In one of the first scenes they talk about taking a rocket to Planet Wisp so that they can enter the first race, but they're soon dotting around all seven zones from the game like it's nothing. Why add a story if it's meaningless?
The default/normal way to start a race in story mode skips the story anyway, which is really bizarre. Like, pressing A will go straight to the race and pressing X will take you to the cutscene and then the race (Switch version). It's unusual, and suggests that the development team thought little of the story scenes.
Some of the dialogue alone is pretty nice. I enjoy watching Sonic try to trash talk Silver only for it to go way over Silver's head and annoy Sonic in the process, or Big being the only one who isn't super racist against tanukis and the fact that he calls everyone out on their shit simply by being a nice guy. But yeah... Super cheap. Free Riders' cutscenes don't even feel as cheap as TSR's.

Snowragnarok reacted to this

Even Free Riders's cutscenes had more love put to them. That game would've worked wonderfully with standard controls as an alternative without the obligatory motion controls imo.
What is it with Sonic and static .jpg VisualNovel-like cutscenes like come on SEGA. Sonic Rush (Understandable due to being a DS/3DS handheld series but even they had some cutscenes using the ingame models), Sonic Rivals, Sonic Free Riders, Team Sonic Racing.
-
I'll give Rivals a free pass because it was also a side, handheld game. Rivals 2 had full voice acting for it's static portrait cutscenes too. But there's no excusing Free Riders and TSR, even if the they budget side productions. They weren't handheld games. Even Boom F&I had proper cutscenes (but not Shattered Crystal):
Although ngl, I actually preferred the portraits/models with text boxes in Generations 3DS to the super ugly, highly compressed cutscenes of Lost World 3DS. That game just took some of the Wii U cutscenes and cut out the rest. Not only were they incredibly ugly, but they also some random plotholes. The first time that Sonic and Zeena meet in the 3DS version, she accuses him of messing up her nails during their last encounter.
Rock bottom production values have been pretty common this decade.

-
Sky Fortress Act 2 and 3 are the apex predators of Sonic music themes because they're at the top of the food chain.
-
What's this about Shadow's character in the IDW comics being controlled by SEGA or something like that to be like Vegeta without the character development? I don't read the IDW comics but I saw a comment about that in the Pontac/Graff topic.
-
sega keeps a closer eye on the comics so that things don't spiral off in weird directions the way archie sonic did and some people don't like the direction/limitations they've imposed on how shadow is written.

Konami purchases Sonic the Hedgehog and does two Pachinko cabinets and absolutely nothing else with the franchise. I see it coming at this point.

Love how the first game-related news we get in five years is Roger leaving the role. Grand.
Wait what do you mean that Sonic Forces released five years ago.
-
Oh right Team Sonic Racing was a thing.
God damn when's my mainline Sonic title SEGA come on. I'm starting to feel like a Silent Hill fan with all this news drought.

I got recommended from songs from Evil Within and damn they're great. Thinking about playing them but I'm not too knowledgeable on horror games besides Resident Evil or Silent Hill, are they good games?
-
If a true Sonic Generations 2 happens someday I hope they remake the Solaris boss fight. That boss was really good.
Plus gotta say I love Solaris. Its design was really nice.
