The Deleter

So does this mean it was potentially gonna be in Generations until SoA said no? Whtas wrong with vocal songs SoA? People adore them!

I was gonna say, for some people, vocal songs are what they remember most about the games they were in. Why would Sega think having them was a BAD thing? I'm so glad that Iizuka fought to get them back for Forces. They generated a lot of buzz for the game. The benefits of having them are undeniable.

And now I'm heavily concerned about SoA allegedly getting more control of the series going forward.

Vocal songs are, and have always been, huge for this series. These things are sometimes the best part of the games for many and even transcend the games they're in, to the point where you'll hear the fucking Sonic R ost in random ass videos that have nothing to do with gaming.

Hell, you can call me crazy, but I'd say that Live and Learn is only a few random ass sporting event appearances away from being just as iconic as gd GHZ; if it isn't already. More people recognize these songs than you'd think.

The idea that someone within Sega actually wished for this simply confirms to me (more so at least) that there are people there who, quite frankly, don't understand this series at all.

Where is this text from? What am I reading here? Is this the liner notes to the OST or something?

OK, after reading that, I have to say, a sense of "solidarity with the characters" is definitely NOT the feeling I got from hearing Fist Bump during a double boost 

@Strickerx5 I mean that was nearly 10 years ago things change

i still remember back as a sheltered kid who mainly only listened to videogame and/or anime music, that the soundtrack and vocal themes were half the reason to be hyped for a new sonic game just to have a heap of new music to add to my mp3 player.

I dunno, looking at the pic, that art seems pretty lowbrow

Funny, I hardly knew the brow was even there. If only because SEGA insists on making him express with his eyelids as opposed to the brows.

I like the brow. It just needs to be animated, because usually Sonic looks like he's had bad botox these days.

Ideally it'd phase in and out, along with any other details they would've added to 2D illustrations of the character, but yeah we're stuck with literal eyelid emoting so not much point hoping for an entirely new rig for the characters

I guess swapping out models would work though, since they do that with his side mouth in the first place

Doesn't really look like Sonic without it

Wh

@Wraith I mean I understand that he doesn't look as determined as Brow!Sonic does, but the whole idea is to give back to the less determined expressions he could pull off tbh

I said what I said

That's fair

At the very least, Sega is thinking about it. Maybe they'll think of doing something more.

Reminds me of the Lego Portal project, which was super promising and got through voting, but then it was time to reach out to Valve... and they declined.

A few months later, Portal got into Lego Dimensions. Huh, guess Valve had other plans.

By conflicts with Mario toys you mean the IP or the fact that they want to make more interactive like that set

@Polkadi~☆: Imagine a full-on Sonic Lego line 👀

@Dejimon11: More likely the Mario IP. Nintendo spent about 4-5 years on the Lego Mario plans specifically to make it different from regular bricks; I don't think SEGA will be as concerned with innovation for the sake of it if they ever do give this the go-ahead.

Ah shit, got to catch up with the English episodes 9 and 10 tonight myself. Wonder if episodes 11 and 12 are out in Chinese yet.

Edit: They're not. So either it'll be a morning update or they going by LEGO's ten-episodes format.

Is that fucking Schemmel? lol

Either way, this looks hype af. Animation is on point. Need to look into the studio behind this.

I thought this was the end of the season so 11 and 12 would be news to me

I know that they renewed the series for seasons 2 and 3 though so at least there'll be more to look forward to past this

@Strickerx5 I think the studio's name is Flying Bark Productions. They worked on Glitch Techs and Rise of the TMNT, so the action is def. gonna be on point for the rest of this series

It just seemed a little short for a season to me, even Ninjago in its current form is six episodes longer, and that got downgraded from 10 twenty-two minute episodes. Still, I suppose it doesn't really matter if the content is locked in to continue.

okay I can't even do my catch up because too many people are in the folder this is bs

What is this show, and where can it be watched?

Dang that looks cool.

@PC the Hedgehog Lego's Monkie Kid, a Journey to the West adaption/toyline

It used to be availible on this google drive but ever since this tweet the drive has been down all day 👀 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1O5Pq11QOEmttf_8p9Qy1PPEe0_ifLkUX

Here's the pilot in chinese tho:

I'm just really happy that we're finally starting to make our characters move in that insane dynamic fashion we always see in anime, while still maintaining a western look. Its a middle ground I've wanted the west to work towards since my teenage years.

Bonus points if it comes with the Mixed Reality tech that iphones have so that enemies could spawn on surfaces ala all-range mode

It'd be this but irl

Though to be fair if this means that all of this will be Luffy singlemindedly aiming for the one piece till that point, then pulling a 180 on the journey and actually getting invested in the world events like he was with Fishman Island instead, that'll be pretty cool I suppose. Plus they could actually get to use all the roster and politics they built up and left behind without having to set up any new settings as well, kinda doing a reverse marathon of the world to reach the capital/whoever becomes the ultimate threat in the story

Considering how much story happens off screen in the series, though, I'm not really holding my breath that it won't be all flashbacks/backstory

boost

This doesn't sound Chaotix related..........................

*hub gameplay drops three months later showing the chaotix trying to solve the mysteries with local residents in the wake of the catastrophe 👀*

I'LL TAKE THE ENTIRE STOCK!!!

Fuck man, you had me at full 3D

huh, neat.

Honestly I've been wanting to see a new boost game that takes more inspiration from the Rush games. And not just because of Blaze, lol. It was nice the Rush games still had unique level gimmicks for example.
