Did anyone hear the Legend of Zelda rendition from Sonic Lost World? It's totally awesome!

[Adorkable 2,737]

-snip-

 

YES! Activity!

 

I have seen that. At a time, I owned Sonic Lost World for the Wii U. A few levels actually made me rage quit, so I don't plan on playing the game again for a good while. I had it before the Zelda level was released, but after the Mario one was out. I really wish I would have got to play the Zelda level, it was something I was really looking forward to.

[Shadowking58 1,137]

It looks really good!

 

To bad it's a Wii U exclusive.

 

Nice move, Nintendo. Making one of the best looking Sonic games in a while and it being only exclusive.

 

It's like a huge middle finger to the fandom, lol.

I have a Wii U and a 3DS, so I will definitely be buying it!

I actually prefer exclusive games to multiplatform. Exclusive games are often built around the specs of the console they are made on so it tends to run better overall than one that has to be dumbed down, then respec'd for another console which kills performance. Especially if a game does something that a console isn't particularly good at which would slow up the framerate or kill graphical power.

[Adorkable 2,737]

So, let's try stirring up a little discussion.

 

This should get things flowing a little, because it's something I don't think has been completely figured out as of yet.

 

Let's talk about Crisis City, why was it in Sonic Generations?

 

Because if you remember the final events of Sonic '06...

 

 

 

We can remember after beating Solaris with Super Sonic, Shadow, and Silver, Elise blew out the flames of Solaris, which caused the events of Sonic '06 to be erased. (Makes you wonder why they made the game to begin with, eh?)

 

 

 

With this being said, it makes one curious why Sonic Generations included Crisis City. One could argue that since the game is an anniversary title, it allows "special permissions" of some sorts. But if you think about it, Sonic actually has to remember these levels for them to be playable, no?

 

Let's discuss.

[Discordian 6,015]

This game definitely looks amazing. I don't play fangames, mostly because I never know where to find them, but this? I'd totally try to get this.

I think it's entirely possible that the Time Eater ate so thoroughly though time and space that it essentially unfurled the sealed pocket of universe that Sonic 06's events existed in. Possibly reinstating it as a part of the universe, or maybe just for the events of Generations.

Which was your favorite Sonic cartoon?

Sonic X. Love the Dark Super Sonic part, hate Chris Thorndyke. I
hope SEGA don't start making Chris Thorndyke in real life in the
next Sonic movie CGI/live action hybrid.

Thoughts on Sonic Boom?

I'm seriously not hyped about the game but I'm excited about the
cartoon. Knuckles steroid did bother me the first time. Other than
that, trailers were awesome and I think this is a great step SEGA is taking on the blue blur.

Who's your favorite Voice Actor for Sonic?

Jason Griffith. Simply the best, especially in Sonic Unleashed.

Who's your favorite Voice Actor for your favorite character?

Same as above

Who is your least favorite Sonic Character?

Omochao. My worst living nightmare.

Shadow's new voice actor. He failed to show Shadow's
character through his voice and Shadow in Sonic Generations just made me wanna facepalm so hard.

What is your least favorite Sonic game?

Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis for GBA

What was your first Sonic game?

Sonic 3

When did you become a Sonic fan?

My father bought an old dusted Genesis in 2004 the only cartridge they sell in the thrift shop was Sonic 3.

I lived in my village at that time so yeah, that's when it began. Once I moved to town, I

downloaded all the genesis games and emulators.
Then, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Riders and Sonic Adventure DX came
in. After I bought PS3, Sonic Unleashed and Generations came in.

Hold on, I downloaded the wrong game, I'm an idiot.

Honestly, I think Roger Craig Smith does the best job. He makes Sonic sound mature, yet still humorous.

 

Who's your favorite Voice Actor for your favorite character?

Since I already talked about my favorite voice actor for Sonic, I'll talk about my favorite voice actor for Eggman. Mike Pollock does an amazing job voice Eggman.

 

Who is your least favorite Sonic Character?

 

Charmy Bee. Ugh. He's such a little bugger.

It's either William Corkery as Tails in Sonic Heroes or Cindy Robinson as the current Amy Rose.

I'd say around 2005.

[Discordian 6,015]

So, Sonic fans, do you read any Sonic fancomics?

 

I've read a few in my time. Ones based on the Sonic series directly, parodies, offshoots...I'll list the few I remember.

 

From The Middleground:

 

Double-U Tee Eff. More of a general gaming comic but has lots of Sonic references...at least before it evolved into it's own thing but it still uses the same characters. It's so good I almost forget it's not a part of the official Sonic universe half the time.

 

Ghosts of the Future. Takes place in a timeline when Sonic finally loses to Eggman and becomes a spirit of Chaos to help the new Chaos user Silver.

 

Not For Resale. General parody/joke comic.

 

Only Fools and Yoshis. Not exactly a Sonic comic but Sonic characters play a big part in it.

 

---

 

Another comic I read was Sonic Eggs, which is a Sonic X fancomic. You'll find it on Emerald Coast Comics.

I'm not particularly fond of sprite-based comics in general but The Middleground really knows how to do them.

More Sonic praising to come.

Can you feel the sunshine?

[(MARVEL) Blue Blood 991]

Sonic R's soundtrack has always been a soundtrack I loved despite how mich others hated it. I love my cheesy pop songs, with Work it Out being my personal favorite.

Edited August 6, 2014 by (MARVEL) Blue Blood

[Discordian 6,015]

I honestly don't know how so many people can hate the Sonic R soundtrack. I've always considered it one of the best in gaming.

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

Sonic R has a excellent sound track but the controls, also depending on what you use for it, can be a bit hard to get use to. I personally think most of the hate is with the game itself and not the music. If there is any hate for the music, it would be the song typically associated with the infamous Tails Doll curse. Can you feel the Sunshine.

Now I maybe open minded, but I do also detect a major Bullshit alert in the Tails Doll curse. If Tails Doll was trapped in the game to only be released by the player, then why is there a large number of videos of allot of sonic fans playing Sonic R to only be hit by the curse due to being completionists? It's because of the very fact of it's popularity that it's been overblown as a creepypasta, which is all it is, and as a gaming character.

Edited August 6, 2014 by Sadist the Wanderer

[Discordian 6,015]

The controls definitely could have used some work. I can't bring myself to 100% the game a second time cuz there's too much difficulty in controlling it.

 

Speaking of Tails Doll...this shit is scary as hell. Even though I've watched it at least a hundred times I'm still scared by it. LOL

[Adorkable 2,737]

I agree with calling bullshit on the Tails Doll, although it would be nice to see where the hell he came from via SEGA. I don't think they ever really explained his appearance.

[Discordian 6,015]

I don't actually know much about the origins of the Tails Doll myself. I only know it was in Sonic R in the group of other "doll" characters as well as Adventure when Gamma was shooting them up.

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

Well the flash was made to be scary. The hyped up Tails Doll curse has brought much fear to the Sonic community.

Well it's not calling bullshit as much on Tails Doll itself, it's more declaring bullshit on the curse. As for his origin, he is only somewhat explained, by fans most likely, as being the answer to the metal version of other characters created by Robotnik (Eggman).

[Enemy Stand 446]

I ordered Sonic Heroes (along with Mega Man X collection) on Amazon yesterday. Sonic Adventure DX and SA2: Battle are on hold as you can only order 2 things at a time, apparently.

[Adorkable 2,737]

I honestly think you'll like Sonic Heroes, it's kinda 50/50 among the fandom, but I think it's a pretty decent game. The music is awesome too!

Who better to know that then a person who played the game as part of his/her childhood? LIKE ME!

I think I liked the original Seaside Hill better than the Generations version.
