Can Sonic be saved?
>>
>>343211687
First of all, is this real?

Second, yes it can, i'm actually glad they didn't rush the game they are making and instead they are pushing it back for next year
>>
>>343211902
This is unfortunately real, and it was back when the comic was hiring the shittiest artists around. Though I'm not sure how they pulled this off because SEGA mandates Sonic to never be shown crying.
>>
What was wrong with Colors?
>>
>>343211687
Wasn't this the issue that pissed SEGA off and started the whole Penders fiasco?
>>
>>343212283
Can get some context?
>>
>>343212075
What happens in this comic? Is Sonic getting cucked or something?
>>
>>343212075

Actually, that mandate was a direct result of this comic if I remember correctly. They saw that it destroyed his "way past cool" attitude and enacted it for all future comics.
>>
>>343212359
Penders tried to sue SEGA over Chronicles because he thought they 'stole' his original characters simply for the fact that they were echidnas. Ended up walking away with his 'intellectual property' ie all the characters he created and forcing them to reset 20 years of story.
>>
>>343212407
If I remember correctly, the evil version of Antoine von Faggot was gonna marry Sally and Sonic got salty about it.

>>343212407
yes, actually

this general era of the comics led to SEGA getting super strict on what they can do -- no more sonic crying, no more high school relationship bullshit, etc

it's actually gotten a lot better as a result
>>
>>343211687
Well this is one time when "way past cool" was used literally
>>
>>343211687
Yes.
Get new developers, have them scour the old Sonic the Comic storylines, have Shortfuse, the Chaos Creature, Brutus, the Zone Runner story, or something similar
>>
>>343213205
Actually I think the reset fixed most of my problems with the series. Flynn himself stated that he wasn't going to go for relationships as much anymore, and the writing and artists have gotten a lot better now that he has less old weight to drag around. But I fear that, like Megaman, this series'll probably kick the bucket soon too.
>>
>>343213591
Maybe that's for the best? Have it end on a good note via this reboot, and if it kicks the can, then we can remember Sonic as the fun loving radical, albeit outdated mascot, instead of the drama, feelings and emotion guy who got cringeworthy dialogue from Penders.
>>
>>343211687
Yes, but SEGA sure as fuck won't know how aside from more Green Hill redo's. They're more off-track with their fans than Miyamoto.

Same with fangames who lack the budget, professional polish, motivation and legal rights to do so. At best you'll get some glitchy Unreal SDK open-world roller.

Just stick with the porn.
>>
So is that echidna comic Penders was working on still a thing?
>>
>>343211687
Probably not.

Are the comics any good these days? God I remember being a kid and reading the clusterfuck these were at my library since I didn't buy comics. I did buy the one where Sally got married and just top kek and cuck looking back on it now. All those fucking echnidnas and romances, it was fanfiction made manifest.
>>
>>343211687
Too early to tell.

3D Sonic covers the whole spectrum of quality:

Good
>Heroes
>Colors
>Generations

Meh
>Adventure 2
>Unleashed
>Lost World

Bad
>Adventure
>Shadow
>Sonic 06
>Boom

so who can say? But at least they're not rushing this one out the door, so it might be good.

I think I know the one you're talking about and even there that guy looks to have somewhat learned his lesson in the 4 years since the original Green Hill Paradise.

I mean, yeah, it's still Green Hill Zone, but from the limited footage we get it looks like it has quite a bit more direction and cohesion to it. It looks like the paths are tighter with more to do in them.

>>
>>343214534

The comic had a major overhaul #160 onwards. Echidnas were still present and relationship stuff popped up every now and then, but it was handled much better than it was before. The reboot purged all of that, however.

It's been Archie's best selling solo series and sells better than their mainline Archie titles besides their digests. They aren't going to get rid of Sonic, even after all the legal kerfuffle and hiatus and spin off cancellations, it's the reason why it's still being printed.
>>
>>343215125
Yes. It's good now. We're nearing the end of the Unleashed Arc, which also had a Sonic The Fighters mini-arc worked into it. It was great.

>>343211687
He CAN be saved, but he won't he saved. His own creators don't care about quality or longevity, they rather dig up his corpse for another shitty game every few years and then dump him in a ditch on the way to the bank.

The Sonic twitter account is the best thing to come out of the franchise in the last 3+ years. Just let that sink in for a moment.

I'm honestly kind of amazed we still haven't heard any announcements for the games outside of Boom, especially since it's the 25th anniversary. Lost World came out almost 3 years ago now and still not a peep.

I'm an oldie when it comes to the comic, but I will say that the current writer and management shifted about 10 years ago and has been a steady stream of good stories since. There has been some pretty big shake ups here and there due to legal troubles, but it's been pretty fun.

06 by the widest possible margin.
That game was not only terrible, AND a shitty anniversary celebration, but it was the final blow that took an already fractured fanbase and demolished it entirely.
Sonic had a declining reputation by that point already, but it wasn't one of the big laughingstocks of the gaming industry until 06 happened.

This is why the Satam story and characters will never be rebooted into a new cartoon or game. They already had their time in decades of shitty comics. Thanks Ken.

yeah fair enough

god I wish unleashed was better. the medal hunting is obnoxious, the night stages are just boring tripe and the day stages are brought down by a mixture of godawful framerate and having too much padding with the first two problems between each stage.

If my computer wasn't a toaster I'd probably just try to play that unleashed mod for generations.

Because they have a niche fanbase that follows the book throughout the years.

Frankly I'd just lay it all on Flynn one because like Penders he literally took over the comic, no one pays attention to the other writers.

And while I'm talking about Penders people still judge his writing as the worst thing ever when really it was just dumb boring stuff, Karl Bollers, Remi Chacon were so much fucking worse and came up with much of the what people think it's the worst the comic had to offer No, bunnie being raped by gooey tentacles is not the fucking worst thing to happen, fuck you, like the whole teenage drama schlock, Tommy the Turtle and DESTINY. The fuck did Penders do, Green Knuckles? A thousand Echidnas that were the same boring character that did nothing? Cut me a break.

I'm guessing the past year or so hasn't been nice to the comics. I stopped following shortly during the middle of Sonic the Fighters. Figured they would've been done with Werehog by now and just move onto Colors.

>>343226274
Worlds Unite sucked, there was a hiatus, and the writer has decided to rush through the rest of Unleashed since people weren't digging it much. So, it's kinda on autopilot and not that good right now.

Oh, and Colors already happened (comic timeline is a bit messed up) and Lost World is next up for game adaptions.
>>
>>343226274

Colors already happened in the new continuity. They're setting up for a Lost World arc sometime after Shattered World Crisis.
>>
>>343226274
As far as I know they haven't wrapped up on the Werehog thing since, as well as not even posing 6 issues since, I think the current Eggman arc is halfway complete but the issues are being delayed until October or so
>>
>>343226274
It's been rough. Most of the plots, including the overarcing Unleashed adaptation, have usually been excuses for either world building or character building/reintroduction. A lot of the stories are weaker than before the reboot but for the sake of setting up a lot of plot strings for the future. The biggest thing that makes the Unleashed adaptation so lacking is the fact that the dickhead editor that's now gone forced a huge shitty crossover which was followed by a huge 3 month hiatus and the cancellation of both the Megaman comic(technically a hiatus) and the Sonic Boom comic.
Colors has already happened in this timeline. Unfortunately, Lost World has not.

Eggman's Dozen is done. The upcoming main arc "Panic in the Sky" is the last Unleashed arc.

I unironically enjoyed all of the comics back when I was a teen. I was a big Sonic fan back then though, haven't played any of the games in years. They may have seemed stupid or too angsty but it was right up my alley. I'm sorry Penders had to ruin the universe for the other fans though.
