Fallout was sent to die so every other Bethesda game could live.

*id software. If you read the actual post from Marty, you'd see that this anticheat was id's decision, not Bethesda's.

I am a bit skeptical of the VRAM allocation part of that post and how DAC wasn't responsible for it, but Doom Eternal, at least on PC, initially came with its own share of issues (broken HDR, big framerate issues because of Steam overlay, etc.), so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

But I am also glad Marty commented on this like he did on the whole Mick Gordon controversy (which Mick himself still hasn't actually responded to btw), you rarely see that with other companies, even within Bethesda. Especially within Bethesda.

@Supah Berry *looks at Elder Scrolls* 

Well he actually said he would get a crew of pirates and take it from sora, sooo...guess this means he killed Sora and got what he wanted lol

Unless he plucked a keyblade from that mass graveyard of 'em.

He specifically said he’d take it from Sora. And the man lives by his vows so I doubt it 

He doesn't sound very use to swinging it in around the air, seeing how he screams when he starts falling three feet back to the ground.  (:30)

How coincidental when I finally unlocked the Keyblade in this game last week.

This monetization system just works.

At this point they’re just taking the piss cause they know people already hate them. The people sticking with them and 76 are clearly who this is aimed at. The “live service” model after all is about not getting newcomers, but squeezing the base you already got 

Between this and the anti-cheat fiasco with Doom Eternal, shit like this (never mind that I don’t care about FPS or Bethesda games to begin with) is why I don’t want a Bethesda rep in Smash Ultimate. As far as I recall, even Konami doesn’t stoop to Bethesda’s current level.

That woman at the end is such an asshole tho

Not paying for a pizza after the guy risked his life to get it to you?

So rude.

- Why do Tails' tails barely move when running?

- If you're going to put tutorial notes in your game just to be sarcastic and poke fun at tutorials, you might as well not make tutorials.

i honestly kinda hate it. awful readability due to the lighting and effects, movement seems too fast and too twitchy, especially compared to things like knuckles' slow as balls climbing and the limp wall jump, the fire shield dumps a ton of particle effects that obscure your character, tails' big ugly flight meter, smashing a wall causes a weirdly long slow-mo effect and the debris covers your view...a lot of little things adding up to a kinda gross experience.

Those tutorials got obnoxious really fast; tutorials are meant to be welcome and ease the player into the game. I get what the intention was, but it's really off putting.

Looks a little unwieldy tbh. Neat concept, but the execution looks rough.

Tbh, this already looks better than what I'm expecting from ST in their next go.

As far as WiPs go, I like it. Certainly has a number of rough spots: Knuckle's specific area looking detached and generally un-fun to go through, Sonic's wall-jump, both Tails and Knuckles being able to hydro-plane too easily imo, those awful tutorial messages, some level sections genuinely looking too compact for Sonic's speed, ect. Basically, a lot of it needs some more fine tuning.

With that being said, I really am impressed with where this is at the moment. Again, love how this project didn't just end with the beta playground and is actually moving forward into actual levels. It's not all there yet, but the progress is undeniable imo. Excited to see more from this.

Saying this looks better than anything ST does is a meaningless statement at this point; nobody has any faith in ST right now, so of course anything that looks remotely competent is going to look better than what they can do.

Still gonna say it though. A team of non-paid, freelance fans doing better than a professional team. Even if it's ST I feel it needs to be said.

Even then, I still think this demo looks more than competent.

Polar opposites essentially. 

Is this another stroking sonic ego post? 

No, and please don't attract the attention of those who would love to clobber me over such a misunderstanding. 

Just pointing it out, geez.

Scooby still looks like Scooby the whole time and was not redesign into a human toothed abomination.

I had just accidentally learned that Simon Cowell makes a cameo in Scoob for some reason...

D-Don't compare the originally misguided but ultimately a fine attempt of a love letter to fans that The Sonic Movie was to this now dead to me, abomination of a cliché ridden pile of....

*ahem*

....I dislike Simon Cowell. He has a massive ego , yet all he does is shoot his mouth off and sponge off people who are apparently talented?

That’s a funny way to spell Axel Stone (justkidding)

That's a funny way to spell 'bionic commando'

nobody knows how to spell rayman in this house

That’s a really odd way of saying Professor Layton

it's not "wright", it's "lite". marina liteyears. come on at least google it before you post.

@Diogenes Much as I would absolutely love that, do Square Enix and Treasure even remember Mischief Makers?

Are you guys dumb or something? It’s spelled Jill Valentine

@KHCast Regarding RE characters, you harshly misspelled Nemesis.

Nemesis doesn’t pull cheesy badass one liners tho

Dude, they’re just being remade to get fixed and brought in line with the new theme layout, it’s not a big deal.

Is that true @Dreadknux? Are they being brought back eventually?

Jova, there’s a message at the top of the board saying in direct quotes “All your favourite themes will be reintroduced with this new design very soon”

Have seen nothing of the sort.

Well, it’s been appearing for me, so I don’t know what to tell you.

Exact message is “With the arrival of the new Sonical 2020 light and dark themes, we are sunsetting older, more broken themes. Rest assured, we will reintroduce all of your favourite themes with this new design, please bear with us and in the meantime, enjoy the future!”

Well, for whatever reason, that never showed up for me. Seems that's the same case for other people here too.

I don't know. Still if that is the case, then you can't blame folk for rightfully worrying.

Well I mean, Dread also posted about it in the Theme Update topic.

Thanks for the feedback, Solister! All good suggestions - definitely will work on them (although not sure how or why posting is going slow or buggy, might be a code/server thing).

The alt themes are going to be deprecated (they already should be - I thought I moved everyone over to the Sonical 2020 theme a while ago but I guess it didn’t take) as some of them are super old and the wonks on them won’t be fixed. Instead we will introduce new versions based on this new design (we just needed to finalise and get it 100% right before we started doing that). I just need to tighten up one or two things (the subforum icons being one of them!!) and we can get to work

And yes, the plan is to make sure there is some kind of uniformity between site and forum so at some point I’ll bring STK Maniacs over to SSMB, when I have time.

Don't follow that forum or thread. You'd have to go out of your way to know that.

I should probably move the Updates forum up to the top of the list then, eh?

Yes, we'll be converting the old skins to the new design. May take a while, but we'll get there. Better for you to be using the latest design then something that's partially broken, that doesn't give you a good experience.

Ah, alright then. That clears everything up, thanks.

They weren't "mandates" though, the only thing Toriyama's actual editor had him do was make Cell transform.

The other guy wasn't his actual editor for the Cell arc, he's just a former editor Toriyama respected.

Congrats!

Congratulations!
