The Deleter

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...

oh no, he's in too deep

This is one hell of a pick. Can't wait to see how he worked his magic on this show.

In related news, Betty Kwong (Ninjago) is also working on the show as a designer:

That last bit scares me. Now Penders has more of an in than just it being called Prime.

The designs will be great then. Hell yeah.

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.

I'd take my winnings here and now for calling it, but I hereby raise my bet that the main Sonic is the only character from the main verse in the show

Honestly... if Prime sonic is alone and we have a roulette of characters each dimension... it could work

Like the first dimension is 2 episodes long and it has tails knuckles and amy

The second has shadow rouge and omega

Third Cream silver blaze

Yeah alternate characters are what I'm hopeful for as well. Something along the lines of Tawna in Crash 4

God imagine something like

One dimension is styled like a 1950s detective movie and has the chaotix

And the other is like team dark being agents in a terminator esque dimension

Then the other has knuckles and the echidna tribe

That is the way to do it

Oh that is gonna open some bad flood gates in the art circles lol

Sir, this is a Sonic Forum

I hope you kept the receipt for that toaster.

lmao he do be boosting

The true UNO Reverse Card

now we just need to find unused audio of him talking to really flip the world upside down

You can tell its fake by him calling it Sonic Adventure Battle 2. The 2 comes before the Battle, get it right!

Ah shoot links dead

Basically Persona5 Scramble coming to the west on PS4, Switch, and PC

1) of course Atlus would mess up like that (it's already removed even)
2) It coming to Steam makes sure I'm not stuck to the worst version of the game, that's great!
 

Here's a repost

Sweet. I've been hella anticipating this announcement since playing AoC

YES! Finally, a Warriors game I can be excited for!

I'm probably gonna get the PS4 version, but I do also wanna see how the Switch version plays. Guess it's time to watch some comparisons.

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

And there's that Splatoon boy alt.

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
