Megathread IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog - Megathread

[BlueSky]

Well, the Overlander thing hasn't been in use for years now, so well... I don't really see it coming back since it's kind of hard concept to use easily and effectively without making people make faces...

I'm growing antsier and antsier... What's the reaction time of Stadium reporting staff for getting panel news out actually? I just came to realise that's prolly more useful info for me than the time panel actually starts after all...

[Marcello]

So, is this thing being streamed or something?

IDW nor NYCC are streaming it themselves, but TSSZ's looking into doing it. I know two of us on the team are at NYCC and will be at the event. Odds are good that we will be able to provide a live feed to everyone, but it's not 100% yet.

The reason that it's not 100% is that, well, we haven't had the chance to run tests yet. Most of what we know is currently based on some bits here and there that we've been able to experiment with. The team's getting together in an hour from right now to get things officially sorted out. We'll know for sure then.

Even if we don't, expect lots of video and live tweets from the TSSZ folks that are attending.

I knownthat has been asked before but what do you guys expect to be revealed?

Cover Art. Who's working on it. Maybe some plot details.

[SSF1991]

TSSZ live feed of the IDW town hall is still a go. We have a backup plan, just in case, and we're doing a quick Skype test in 15 minutes.

WiFi won't be a problem after all (despite my earlier concerns), but we've been running behind schedule.

[Marcello]

That's good. The panel is in about 2 hours and 20 minutes, right?

Aw, crap. Looks like I'll probably miss it, then. :-/ Oh, well, I'll still get the news.

[BlueSky]

Only about an hour left... yay.

[Red Hot Jack]

What news are you guys expecting?

TSSZNews are streaming right now.

So.... they're not really answering anything.

Seriously. This reminds me of Zootopia: "Respond to their question with another question, and answer that question instead."

[Badnik Mechanic]

In a very diplomatic answer.

Archie characters are gone.

"This is a new partnership, we're looking to tell new stories."

He's then asked virtually the same question... gave the same answer.

IDW panel in a nutshell

Asks question

"We can't answer that for you at the moment"

Repeat until it's time to end it and go out for donuts.

according to the tssz twitter feed, They didn't say anything about the characters except "stay tuned". its the universe itself that they are saying it's gone, which was already a given.

I just care who the staff is, I know everything else is a almost lost cause.

Soo... that's it.

It's pretty much ruined for me if the old comics cast is gone.

Bye, it was nice to know you, Sonic comics.

[Razule]

Why does it feel so.. awkward.

[BlueSky]

Ooh, so there're REASONS for the cancellation happening like it did...

Gee, thanks a lot Mr. Webber.

Gee this is just boring...

--WHAT FLYNN!!!!

[Bobnik]

Because the questions are so bad.

If we got an interview at TSS with anyone and sent these questions in. Only 2 of them would get answered so far.

4 archie comic related questions so far for IDW'S panel. Nobody has asked anything related to what Sonic will actually be like.

Every question has either been 'what have Sega said you can't do' and 'Will this from Archie be in/continued

Its a wasted opportunity.

[goku262002]

YES!!!!!

Thank the heavens, I knew they couldn't do it without him.

[D.K.]

[BlueSky]

Well, now I'm carefully optimistic... Mr. Flynn's cool.

I just hope for the cast...
