Close enough, maybe?

Have you unlocked Green Hill?

@TheOcelot one of the trophies is to collect all 180 emblems, that's also what unlocks GHZ. so yes.

The whole thing is just meandering along.

I'm sure there's some contract with Sony that binds them to release him but part of me still expects them to just abandon it and never speak of it again.

A nice dream.

But dreams are meant to be...

...broken 

- CEO of Ubisoft

you'll take your new pokemon rep and like it

Joke's on you, I probably will because Pokemon are cool

...but yes I'd rather have Rayman

Ancel would have had to put it into motion. The plan was to do it after BGE2 but he left the company before it was finished. 

Because Ubisoft don't care about Rayman anymore now that Ass Creed, Ass Cry and Ass Dogs sell much more. Also, Splinter Ass.

>rayman games sell well

eh...with origins and legends, not so much.

with that said, ubisoft's release and marketing strategies definitely didn't help. legends especially since they delayed it at the 11th hour to make it multiplatform (originally a wii u exclusive) and then released it in september...right against GTA V. (and the wii u version still sold the best anyway...)

It died so Beyond Good And Evil could live 

But Ubisoft is just another house full of womanizers (Singapore mainly), so leave it to die anyway 

Sucks that our favorite games are owned by terrible publishers, like Ubi and Activision. 

i unlocked it but never beat it. it's like the perfect run in mario galaxy 2, one those brutal bonus levels that's exclusively for elite challenge seekers. one hit point wonder + no checkpoints is always a bad time for even standard "hard" levels, let alone "the hardest level we can feasibly create for the game".

I absolutely love the living dead level, even if it's hard as hell (pun intended). Beating it in one run was my biggest gaming moment. Also the boss is hard as nails too.

It's a great challenge. Doing the whole sequence without dying sounds very impressive.

honestly that movie was so weird to me, really unnecessary sequel

dont give in, dont consoom

That's how they reel ya.

IT HAS BURDS

10/10

Don't do it, man...

pika pika motherfucker

it is, unfortunately

I guess it looks okay but

Isn’t this made by Tencent or something

@Ellipsis-Ultima correct

they all look like mascot costumes

Pretty much all of the characters look lifeless and generally mediocre to me these days. The series desperately needs a face lift for its art style.

Sonic is like Chuck E Cheese: You get a lot of gorgeous promotional artwork and animated material, and than you get to the main product itself and it turns out their only hollow, outdated, vacent eyed animatronics. 

I wouldn't even praise the promotional material at this point. Sonic's render on the cover of Forces is as unappealing as he's ever looked outside of the first movie design. It communicates nothing about Sonic's personality beyond him being the main hero character. And what's going on with his left leg? It looks like it's shorter than his right leg.

I never got the shitting on the current models so hard as they're not even close to the worst we've had even if they're not particularly striking 

Well we've had the same models for almost 13 years. 

I think its natural to be fatigued by that point.

What Kuzu said, also,  I really am just bothered by the Knuckles one, I'm just bored by everything else. I never liked the Knuckles one really. I'm shitting on the current Knuckles model because I think it sucks. And I mean, like you said, they're not particularly striking, lol.

his head's too flat i think, that round ovular shape it's supposed to have is almost completely absent.

he looks like that bump you get on the top of your head when you wear headphones for too long

I had the choice to watch it yesterday but we chose Escape Room 2 instead. Quite suspenseful but a good movie, I enjoyed having an empty theater.

We must've watched different movies, then. That "film" was garbage to me.

Saw it in my home. I actually enjoyed it.

Man dood you have a ton of dust on you

welcome back!! 

happy birthday!!!

Welcome back!! 

Streaming permissions.

Was this a new remix of Star Light?

Almost every track in Sonic Genesis (Star Light Zone notwithstanding)

this made me remember the classic remix of radical highway. i forgot to add that in the previous status below, that track rules. easily the best thing from gens 3DS.

Maybe I'm missing something, but that actually doesn't sound too bad.

Having said that, just about everything on Sonic Chronicles.

anyway, to answer the question: i wouldn't call it bad, but i'm underwhelmed by planet wisp classic. it's surprisingly muted / lacking compared to the other classic remixes. i also feel it's a missed opportunity of a "classic" remix in the sense of having something based on the sonic simulator "chiptune" version of planet wisp (which i adore). i will give it some credit in the sense that it's kinda like a "bad future" remix of planet wisp given the different tone.

all that aside, one of the tropical resort remixes in gens 3DS was just a tempo sped-up version of the original IIRC, so maybe that one's the worst in terms of songs that aren't just bastardized covers like on sonic 1 gba and chronicles

the original white jungle >>>>>>>>>> this shit. drowning out the song with ShTH guitars, and turning the drums WAYYY down are just bad calls. and that Forces bee synth chorus is just a big fat nooooooooononono No

Anything from Chronicles

Planet Wisps classic is one that comes to mind

Modern RH I feel could've worked if they threw it in as a brief intersection in the middle of Classic RH's version

I will never forgive Akon for ruining Sweet Sweet Sweet

Huh, the remixer of the first one, Circuit Freq, is actually another name for Julien-K (This Machine; Waking Up), without their vocalist. Even as a huge fan of them, I must admit this and their For True Story Remix are two of their weakest tracks.

It's hard to beat @Indigo Rush 's candidate of Akon Remix of Sweet Sweet Sweet, but DnB remix of Sonic Boom is a misleading track dishonorable to the original

In fact, it's even arguable if this is a DnB (Drum & Bass) track, it's much closer to Dubstep. I personally tolerate and even enjoy some DnB, but personally hate Dubstep 🤮.

There are probably many worse and obscure ones, but it's been a while I don't adventure myself out of the established Sonic tracks.

I actually like the white jungle remix in forces.

But this:

....track that sega farted out just ruins stardust speedway. They throwed in some dying ducks amd called it a day it sounds like.

It might be because the original White Jungle never did too much for me (though I do like it) but I love that Forces remix. I blasted that in my car with my friend and goddamn was it good.

Worst remix though? It might be Blue Ridge Zone from Chronicles. I literally laughed aloud when I first heard it. It was like a record scratch moment.

Chemical Plant modern?

Sky Sanctuary Modern

rooftop run classic for me. that song is such a cheerful bop. speed highway classic is also a great runner-up pick.

(initially wrote metallic madness from mania, but that's tee lopes)

e: also, radical highway classic from 3DS absolutely owns

No question in my mind 

Always felt like this relic tells a story of pain, hopelessness and despair without actually saying it, it hits every time 

Also want to see colors ultimate's take on this.

The definitive Metal Sonic song

I'm actually pretty fond of the Forces remix too

Someone please salvage this song

Oohh, I thought nobody remembered Nonaggression. Underrated final boss track. 

The biggest nugget of gold from this festering turd of a port.

I think MasterJace did a pretty solid job on their Nonaggression remix for one of the Sonic Stadium Music Adventure albums back in the day in case you've never heard it, Wraith:

So much potential here.

Basically if it was a portable Sonic game it probably goes here 

@PaulyBFromDa303 Also did a great remix of nonaggression that I like.

From the standpoint that this meant for official remixies by Sega?

I feel Sonic Spinball's option theme is salvageable if it can get some efficient instrumentation.

3D Blast still has plenty of gems that could use a reprise, particularly looking at Rusty Ruins and Puppet Panic act 2. 

Maybe acknowledging more CD songs than the main themes and Stardust Speedway would be nice too

But I feel you mean any kind of remix, in which case-

More people should go nuts with obscure game choices: Rise of Lyric, Rivals, Shuffle, Eraser, Jump, Schoolhouse, stuff like that.

@AWild No.1 washed up gamer Thanks! That means a lot!

Yeah here's mine: 

I'm just ok with this, I'm still proud of it and all, but like if I were to revisit this track I could PROBABLY do much better. But tbf, this one was made in 2007, right around when I was first getting started, so much time has passed and many skills learned. I DO have a remix of the multiplayer battle theme from Sonic Advance 3 finished and just about ready to go online btw.

It's my personal ALL TIME FAVORITE game in the entire franchise. SA3 definitely needs more love for sure, and I'm glad I'm seeing a lot of that here

Spring Yard or Starlight

but if you put a gun to my head I'd probably edge it to Spring Yard

Spring Yard

Spring Yard

Sparkling zone

good picks! after a near unanimous vote it seems that the winner is

labyrinth zone. thanks for playing everyone!!!

Dang I was gonna say Labyrinth too I swear

My takeaway is azoo would have shot me.

spring yard was my second pick tbf lol

marble

Starlight zone.

What do I win?

The end credits. It has ALL of them

(except special stage and the bosses)

Now very descriptive is it. 

You've heard of Super Dragon Ball Heroes

Now get ready for Dragon Ball Super Super Hero

Still wish they'd called it Dragon Ball Super Duper.

Watch it be a saiyaman movie

@Ferno I think I can say, without the slightest hint of hyperbole, that I would kill myself if this happened.

Okay, maybe some hyperbole.

If there's no actual super heroes, I'm gonna riot.

Rumor has it that it's about Piccolo. 

Man, I fucking wish

@Kuzu They did bring up that Piccolo's upper arm is yellow instead of pink, which obviously indicates something significant has happened to him since the events of Broly. That, and we actually get to see his house! So at least we'll get some stuff involving him.

I'm just glad Toriyama and Toei aren't trying to soften Coola.

@Perkilator

They already debuted a new character who has a super-hero design.

@Ryannumber1gamer Then they're already doing something right! 😁

Basically sonic 1.
