If you don't like turn based games the original Final Fantasy 7, especially the back half of the game, is absolutely not for you.

maybe not this year, but if you say that we are not getting anything on the event announcement they had to delay... well....

I could totally see there being some sort of teaser for a 2021 game but I just don't think a game will actually release this year with the 30th anniversary right around the corner.

Oh, I agree.

no game reveals, sonic only, final destination: june 23rd (for the next announcement)

Super Emeralds have been canon due to 3&K being canon.

No.

the super emerald-shaped-rocks are canon

Everything is canon

Nothing is canon

The true canon was inside you all along

@Diogenes is right.

It was handwave that those are stone relics created after the Chaos Emeralds return to the Special Stage dimension. Which further supports the headcanon that the CEs got their new shape from fusing with the SEs.

No this is Canon

no this is canon

these are cannons

this is a cannon

It is an obvious thing to do.

Which is exactly why they won’t.

That is a fair point

It's been an obvious opportunity for years.

ENDLESS PASTA BOWL

YOU'RE FAMILY

IT'S ALL ABOUT FAMILY TOM

we dont deserve their endless bread sticks

yet they grace us with them anyway

is this some sort of american thing i'm too australian to understand

It is an Italian restaurant chain in America @Polkadi~☆. It also gets a large product placement in the Sonic Movie.

At this rate, Sonic Team will make a new good 3D Sonic before they ever let him be a sponser for the Sonic Drive-In resturant.

I know it's in the Sonic movie, and I even openly mocked it. But once again with Hollywood self-centredness, that product placement works nowhere else but America.

And yet they still can't get Sonic Drive-In product ties?

I honestly really disagree, I'm not finding these fun at all, and I've completed all of them on KH2FM.

Larxene is fine enough, even if her desperation is a pain, but the rest, I'm really fucking hating how perfect you have to be. KH2 at least had Second Chance/Once More work properly, KH3 has superbosses who can not only spam to a ridiculous degree, but actively break it. Saix, and Ansem especially is notorious for that bullshit, especially Saix since he can stun you.

I agree honestly. The air dash promotes more forward movement and maintaining flow rather than the double jump which is basically just a double check.

If Sonic had a proper double jump, I wonder if this would still be the feeling...

I mean, I certainly wouldn't complain if they gave Sonic a better double jump but I still feel the air dash is much more fitting for typical Sonic gameplay.

Something I wish they'd bring back is the curved air dash from SA1 and 2, having it go in a straight line in the boost games (and 06) really bugs me

What @Sean said. The "modern" air dash not only makes no sense, it's completely useless. Sonic goes like 5 feet forward in a 100% straight line, then loses 100% of his momentum and falls straight down like a rock. You miss platforms you should easily reach no problem.

Who made that, why weren't they fired, who approved that, and why wasn't that person fired as well? I think if this was in any other game, everyone would laugh their ass off at this amateur hour execution.

And if anyone wants to say "Well, just use boost midair", good luck not overshooting with that shit.

Celeste is phenomenal

It's a game that, by most accounts, only had about a year in full development.

It's a game that, by most accounts, only had a combined total of $5 spread out in all of those accounts

I dunno, I feel they probably spent a lot more because they got the London Symphony Orchestra. Thats where all the money went.

big portions of the money went into the HE2 as well, but the lackluster art direction really distracted from all the improvements that the HE2 brought in

Sega buried most of Forces's budget somewhere in the Nevada desert and there are cryptic clues within the game itself that point to its location

"you want our budget? we've left every penny that could've gone into the game in the desert- now you've just got to put the clues together and find it! Use the money to make your own damn game since you're all so smart!"

-We Are starts playing in the distance-

Well it fits the Sonic Twitter's M.O, leaving dumb clues.

*sonic fans heading to the desert to snag the money first, each having very different ideas on their ideal sonic game and whoever finds it will get to make their ideal game the standard for the series moving forward*

Sonic Schoolhouse 2 is the 30th anniversary game confirmed

Sega still hiring the London Symphony Orchestra while skimping out on basically everything else is still the most amazing thing

Like why

Yeah I found it kind of strange that TSS went for the super-reachy clickbaity post (and then got uppity about it on Twitter) whereas TSSZ did actual analysis of the clips and while they had a kind of sensationalised headline, they were a tad more rational about what it might actually be

welcome to bizarro world

For real. I thought Sonic Stadium was above this.

All this just after posting a hot take on that the movie design is somehow the best design ever.

Ladies and gents, welcome to The Pits. Enjoy your stay.

2020 is weird already

I think whoever got handed the keys to the Twitter today needs a hug 

Wow someone running the TSS Twitter in that convo there sounds like they got worked, brother

Yeah this whole thing is very odd and out of character to me.

Oh so that's why everyone is talking about SA1 for some reason

Incredible. Just begging to give this website a bad name again, all at our expense.

This is embarrassing

Sonic Adventure Music Experience (what an exhausting name) planning another concert is nothing new. But this much with it? We need to temper our expectations and look at what we actually know.

Taking the thing and running a mile with rumours is not the appropriate response.

Is Dreadknux ok?

I know traffic to the forum (and I assume the site too) have slowed down a ton, but I wonder if these are well-intentioned but not-well-executed attempts at getting people to pour in here again

Yeah, I really am pretty disappointed. I expect better from TSS.

Hi. Our story was based on TSSZ’s initial article, plus additional tips that were sent to both us and TSSZ. We felt there was legitimacy to report on TSSZ’s article based on their findings. We often report on rumours and speculation if the source believes they have good grounding for it, and it was the case with TSSZ here.

We misspoke here on Twitter, but we have noticed a distinct lack of people reading our articles (and we have the stats to prove it), and so we mistakenly went on the defensive here. Apologies, it’s not how we usually do things as you all know, and you expect better.

Our 20 year history is rife with under-appreciation of our work and subtweeting us from both the online Sonic community at large and other community websites, and so our defensive approach here was coming from the position of being attacked. We should have rose above it. We didn’t this time. So I’m sorry. It won’t happen again! x

I want this more than anything. Sure, it was a cool little thing back with Unleashed, but the series started relying on it more and more. I’m convinced it’s a crutch for poor controls, because Sonic doesn’t play the best in 3D spaces of boost games.

Ive heard people ask this for nearly 10 years so I don't think it's gonna change 

Obligatory mention of the fact that even the 3D sections of the boost games are more like 1D.

Preaching to the choir there.

Mega-agreed
