Eh?

It's been a while now, but most of the Something About videos have hinted about a connected narrative that ties them together. This teaser implies something big will happen at the end of this year reguarding that.

Ah!

They were doing that before sonic boom died.

I mean they should.

I mean, they shouldn't.

I don't care either way

What was so great about sticks anyway?

bring back marine instead

I'm not all that familiar with the Sticks character, but I'd be fine if she was implemented into spin-offs as an additional character. Sonic already has a massive cast that more or less does nothing, so I'd be far more interested in the Chaotix, Knuckles or Amy getting more to do in mainline games than bringing in even more characters. 

The games no longer do anything with even their main characters. They've been trying to keep character appearances to a minimum for years and it's done nothing. The amount of characters recognized in the main cast was never the problem.

Also, I'm not about to start gatekeeping one of the few actual characters we got from the last decade when character-types like Zavok keep showing up.

Keeping Sticks from being canon because she's "annoying" means they should've shelved characters like Silver day one but here we are

At least stick (hah) her in the comics or something, she doesn't have to be a main-stay (not that she ever would be), but categorically saying now just seems arbitrary

that last part's true though

You know, you guys don't have to agree about this.

Even Sonic himself was only a plot device the last time he was in a main entry.

I'd gladly trade Silver for Sticks if it meant keeping her canon and getting rid of him forever. A total win-win to me.

Silver is great when used well. Just like Sticks, duh. With competent writers, everyone gets their own glory, even Zavok... yeah I said it.

Anwyay, how about we kill off that brat Marine? Oh wait, she was dead since 2008. (she's the one exception to what I said above).

"Silver is great when used well." Yeah, sure. The problem is, that's never happened even once in the games. He's bad in 06, bad in Rivals and boring in everything else. He was good in Archie, though.

Not good enough for me to not erase him away if given the chance, though. Sticks is at least actually endearing and enjoyable. She makes me laugh and puts a smile on my face while Silver makes me groan and want to quit anytime he pops up just like Zavok does.

About Silver, 2 reasons:

- He's played either like an edgy rival or lame hero-lite, in the games.

- Not enough screentime in the games obviously.

- shitty writers eh...

So I love him both in Archie and IDW. Competent writers.

Sticks yeah... there is more potential, even with 2 seconds of screentime she says that genius and funny thing. Still, could have been a lot more.

Now to wait and see whether Snyder’s original vision was any better or worse than the film we got.

I'm gonna say on the same level but for different reasons.

Hope that you are lucky that HBO Max would be available in your region by 2021.

...wait, what?

the meme is real?

@Milo Anything can happen now. Even the most unexpected ones.

i've heard it's not "the snyder cut" but that he's using the footage for something else

Recently Netflix had come out and proposed to finance WB in exchange for exclusitivity rights, but they got refused. Wonder if that is what sparked this.

I mean, even if the Netflix stuff never happened, it would've been on HBO Max anyways.

Aaaaaand it seems to be just dedicated to Unreal Engine 5. Fair enough, though seeing Geoff beding again the knee to the Epic Game higher ups is so depressing.

I don't get it, what's wrong with an interview with them?

Wanted to wait until the stream was over to see if anything new was said.

Similar to what happened to the Game Awards, Geoff is being unnecessary a bootlicker to people like Tim Sweeney when he doesn't have to, in turn allowing him and the others to stutter, dodge questions, being redundant (all the technicalities asked were already answered in the demo, they really didn't add anything to that), or turning the whole thing into a commercial for The Mandalorian of all things. It's cool that the engine is used for something else, but this is a videogame event last i checked.
Just the tech demo trailer alone would have been fine, it's on point and explains the basics in a precise manner.

Meh, you worry too much.
