You ok there?

you good brotherman?

It'll come out eventually

You'll see\

Are you talking about the Sonic Rangers name? Or just being cryptic?

It was the Sonic rangers details leaks, though more is out there 👀

Explain please.

Sega: "Oops"

...why not just say it if you already have the title

Huh, would explain the forest at least.

Even better when you go through the thread and some guy called it Sonic Rangers 10 hours before

Please tell me he's driving the truck!!! 👹

Man he's buff. He's been working out.

name a more iconic trio

Sonic movie Knuckles

Sonic movie Sonic

Fleetway Tails

Alternative theory - early gameplay of hyper-realistic Sonic Heroes 2 on the PS5/Series X 👀

👀

Even if that ain't final it at least it gives us something different to dicuss versus the same ol' stuff like this-

Superb balance on fusing the normal and Boom proportions as well.

If this is towards the end (where I assume after Knuckles quits being a bad guy), I hope this isn't in Green Hills again like in the last film's final battle

"Sorry Knuckles, Nike won't sign off on any product endorsement deals for this one. Lets have it. Hand in stripes."

Neat. I like the visual art style and animation. Plus I do enjoy a good rhythm game.

haha thanks! I'm really excited about the project, working on getting the [white label] demo out tonight ;_;

It would be nice if the Ultimate name implies that the story elements include the DS stuff as well, like the extended cast being up there too, even if they felt shoehorned in.

Dreaded thought: What if they tried shoe horning not just the DS Wisps, but the Lost World, Ghost and completely new wisp altogether?

Yeah the ultimate name carries a lot of weight to it. If the new content is only like, new multiplayer maps and that's it, it's gonna feel weaker than if the game had no subtitle lol

At the same time it's hard to imagine what content Sonic Team would consider worthy of the Ultimate name. All we know is that it's new so I'll just wait until then tbh

@Supah Berry Oh yeah that's actually a thought I had as well lol. It'd be way more work but like... technically that would be the ultimate Sonic Colors experience wisp wise. Just bring them all back into the game that started it all, with new challenges and stuff

back in the day I wanted the game to be called Sonic Spectrum, but if they called this thing Sonic Colors: Full Spectrum or something that would be perfect

I wish it was called Sonic Colors Unleashed even if it would have rubbed salt in the wound lol

I really hope that we get some remade music too. Colors has a fantastic soundtrack to me, but it'd be great to have a choice between a remixed sountrack and the original like in the CTR or Spyro remakes, especially if it's by the people that handled the TSR soundtrack. I agree with everything else you guys said, it'll be lame if it's called "Sonic Colors Ultimate" if it's just a remastered port. No other Sonic port has a subtitle at the end of it like that, so I sure hope it's truly the ultimate version of the game. The only thing this can be compared to is SADX and SA2 Battle which each had new content added to the game.  I guess it's not really that big of a thing in the series to begin with outside of Lost World getting ported randomly to Steam. 

Yep, it'd be lame. Tbf I have a big list of things that could be improved or added, but it's too much, unrealistic and it would require a remake, for example:

- Rewritten and re-voiced dialogue

- Playable Tails 

- Nega Mother Wisp secret boss

- Side story or expanded Terminal Velocity

- Reworked Game Land and Co-op

- Additional DS Wisps Burst and Void

- Side cast for missions

It's just too much, we are lucky if we get 2 of these.

I can't see extra Wisps getting added arbitrarily, the wisps and their placement is entirely based on level design, you can't just throw in the ones from other games without editing the levels significantly to give them something to actually do.

Well they have a HD model of the Mother Wisp now thanks to Team Sonic Racing, just need to make a dark version.

don't expect added content to be significant

I expect content. How much content is yet to be determined one way or the other, but not like we need it anyway when mods exist for the PC version tbh

Don't forget the last time a Sonic port dropped with an added subtitle, though

I mean, it sounds believable enough, I guess. Nothing out of the ordinary, the usual internal Sega BS that has been going around forever, so it's also easy for someone to just come up with this, but it certainly sounds like something that could've happened. I totally forgot about the Jazwares sign.

I would absolutely adore seeing in-development screens of that project if it's actually real. 

Well, if it's true then it's such a shame remakes got cancelled.

I heard a rumor similar to this a couple years ago in a discord server. They did say that SEGA hired a Chinese company to remake SA1 but they weren’t impressed with how the product was turning out. So there might be truth to this. 

could be true, could be false, doesn't seem to matter much at this point.

Yeah my memory is a bit more fuzzy than not, but I remember hearing rumblings about it several years ago as well; specifically where the info was coming from, and a recent BSC video is what triggered this blog post specifically, so 🙊

Does Zippo have any stuff like Nintendo he'd share, or is Sonic his one focus right now?

Man I remember how much I wondered what the 2015 game on the Jazwares sign was supposed to be.

Sounds interesting. But honestly, what is there to discuss here? Internal projects by SEGA got cancelled. There's no proof to speak of. I don't doubt that this sounds plausible, but there's really nothing else to say.

I always thrive on more reasons to dump on Sega so I'm down with more ammo :V

Thank god they got cancelled 

Not really sure to believe it or not even if it does sound like something that Sega would do. I know that there was a Shenmue remake that was in development but was instead scrapped and replaced with ports of 1 and 2. Apparently Sega of China were also working on ports of Skies of Arcadia and others but the retro releases on the PS3/360/PC didn't sell as much as expected, probably also doesn't help with the issues of the NIGHTS port based on the PS2 version that they had done.

It might have even been exaggerated as pitches happen all the time, it sounds like a pitch that went ahead only to be denied later on.

Besides something seems off with that post. The Wii U was more or less dead in 2015 with one of the last few games being Zelda: Breath of the Wild that ended up being a Switch launch title. Also to even have a remake, would Iizuka/Sonic Team have to have the go ahead even if they were busy working on something else?

I will say this; I've noticed SEGA Shanghai in the credits of lots of Sonic games and quickly looking them up on Moby Games reveals how big their list of credits is. They look very much like SEGA's go-to support studio for a lot of things. It seems quite believable that SEGA would off-hand remakes to them and still pull the plug early because of their own mismanagement. We know that Boom was  complete and utter disaster that was at least in part due to their own ineptitude  

(I like how some sources say that these remakes were going great and were top tier while in production while others say they were going poorly and got cancelled as a result lol)

i feel that even with sega of china handling development instead of modern sonic team, i imagine the developers would had found a way to make the game design worse (esp. for adventure 1), so no real loss there

beyond that ihavenostrongfeelingsonewayortheother.jpg

he also claimed that we would get news for the next game by the end of march, which as we all now, did not become a reality. I call BS.

@FReaK No he didn't. The actual quote is as follows:

My guess is that this will air from between the next few weeks [from February 5th] and the end of March, and should go over at least a good bit of what I laid out today. We seem due for a reveal here pretty soon, so i'm of the belief that we may be mere days away from something substantial.

The "when" in Zippo's leaks was only ever a guess and far less important than the "what".

I just have a hard time believing they'd have ever bothered. Sega knows they can make money just making their legacy titles available with no bells and whistles on nearly every platform nowadays. I mean it'd be cool if they were considering it and if it's true that Boom gave them cold feet (which, if I'm honest, was a failure that deserved to happen) then that's a shame but I can't be too broken up about it.

I'd prefer they make a new title in that line and just re-release/remaster/whatever the old ones on whatever platforms don't have them yet anyway.

@Blue Blood thanks for pointing that out, seems like I was wrong there.

Let's say I will believe him when his previous leak turns out to be the truth. I will wait until then.

I mean the two aren't really related tbh

If it's true man did we dodge a bullet with Pontaff being involved 

I know Zippo has a good track record, but I’m not buying this at all. Even if it was true, it’s not like we needed remakes anyway. SA1 and 2 are solid games, not perfect but they don’t have enough issues to warrant a remake from the ground up. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.

It’s boutta go down lmao

any second now...

Spin attack confirmed 

you know better

@Strickerx5 

After 9 years in development it will

Tails Channel sus

Dont do this to me. Dont give me hope. Also, do they actually know some shit or not?

@Jango The manager of the website, Ryan Scarlett, already knew some actual details while Zippo was leaking stuff, so yes lol. It's just he's gone awfully quiet on this end lately after updating the banners even on the discord to this, which is 

Its best not to let others overhype things for you. It keeps expectations in check.
