fast
Lets talk about how interesting it was that they didn't even mention or have a slide for Sonic Lost World.
Fug
I'm disappointed in many things, but right now, mostly in myself.
>want to go to the anniversary event
>remember how fucking bad the house of blues was for sonic boom
>>135754723
I found that really odd. Not sure if it means something, but I definitely did notice it
I don't understand how any of you can be ok with boom when:
>Amy: sounds like a character off of rugrats
>Sticks: absolute garbage
>Tails: the goggles are cool but the utility belt is stupid, never used
>Knuckles: portrayed as a stereotypical jock
Boom extras (any other character not listed here except maybe that bird guy): cringe worthy
Honestly the only characters that are watchable are sonic and eggman, everyone else is shit
Aaron is so fired.
>Big the Cat jokes up the ass
>Mocking Iizuka's baby; Shadow
>Tails fags gave more cheers to Tails than Shadow fags gave for Shadow
Any of you losers going to that party in July?
what does anon plan to do for the rest of the day?
>>135754839
and chao beat out everything
>Chao Garden live poll
>Crush 40 at anniversary event
>Big the Cat jokes
It's fucking Sonic Adventure 3.
>>135754904
>and chao beat out everything
And it's not in their future plans.
>>135754818
Better than their mainline counter parts
>>135754796
How was it last year? Did you go for it?
>>135754917
>Sonic Adventure 3.
If it doesn't have a Big fishing minigame then I ain't buyin'.
>>135754840
I could very well go. I'm a few hours away from it, and my aunt would give me money
>>135754818
Sonic himself is incredibly boring. Knuckles and Eggman usually have the best jokes.
>>135754975
Get out of here.
>>135754821
I don't know, he was laughing constantly.
>>135755006
yes you are
>>135755015
Sonic is alright not great
>Knuckles has best jokes
You know, I wouldn't care about the body change but they killed his personality , I mean wtf
>>135754909
This, still though I gotta be optimistic at times like this4 fucking months man
>>135755006
I'm expecting Sonic Colors gameplay for Sonic and Emerald hunting levels for Knuckles
everyone else I dunno, I'd rather Colors gameplay too, or classic 3d platforming from the Dreamcast era
>>135754818
>>Tails: the goggles are cool but the utility belt is stupid, never used
>Tfw no bomberjacket for him
>Tfw no lazer rifle for himI don't really mind about this so much butbomber would've been cool
>>135755023
Sorry anon, the Boom cartoon is well liked here.
>>135754798
Kinda interested me that they baited for crowd reactions to the boost gameplay. But I'm looking too much into things.
>>135754796
what was it like anon? I've always wanted to go, and the 25th anniversary seems like it might be SUPER disappointing since it's supposed to be a big deal for the anniversary.
What is all this ''exclusive'' merch bullshit?
>>135755006
Aaron pls
>>135755157
Yeah I really hate what they've done to his personality. Then again I hate it in mainline more because that's the Knuckles I grew to like. I don't care as much for Boom Knuckles since he wa always like that
>>135755201
If they were doing boost, then why skip over Rush? They did Rivals but not Rush
>>135754821
At the very least Aaron sure seemed to enjoy it, gotta suck to be him right now though due to the fan's response.
>>135754723
It hopefully means the style won't be used again. Hell 06 at least got a bait and switch reference.
Lost World was just skipped over like they erased it from history.Granted, they did that to CD too, which I'm salty about.
>>135755186seconded
>Those low cheers for Modern Sonic
>Those low cheers for Sonic Boom
>That silence for the Mobile games
>>135755186
>>135755547
Don't mind if I third
>SEGA twitter talking about Earth Hour and global warming
>Dumb Americunts getting mad as fuck in response
>yfw sonic is literally about an animal freeing animals from a mad robot factory builder
>yfw half the licensed media makes this extremely explicit
Did they expect anything else?
>>135755363
The panel seemed poorly planned out.
45 minutes was not enough time for what they wanted to cover even with skipping games. Hell, they wanted to fit in Q&As too.
>>135755363
>They did Rivals but not Rush
Granted, that was just to bait the audience out of 06. They could've also used Riders however so I'm not sure if there is any significance behind it.
>>135755765
That event is literally the biggest around. They probably had to pay big bucks just to get that 45 minute spot.
>>135755765
They could've done more if Aaron didn't shoehorn in Big memes every other second.
WHERE WAS NAOTO OSHIMA?!
>>135755765
At the very least they should've scheduled for a longer panel, was really interested in the questions people were gonna ask.
>>135754997
I went to the first and second Sonic Booms they hosted.
>first one for Generations
>venue was hosted in LA which was maybe an hour away from my place
>traffic was surprisingly light
>got in immediately
>nice and cold inside
>venue looked nice
>wide and open, even if it wasn't that big
>generations was fun to play and relatively bug free
>crush 40 was pretty good and they unveiled that sonic boom remix which made the audience shit their pants
>got to see the most hilarious sonic-based cake on earth
>second one was for All Stars Racing Transformed
>venue was hosted in San Diego (Same place as the 25th anniversary event) which was 3-4 hours away
>traffic sucked but we got there on time, even if the area had one-way streets fucking everywhere
>had to stand in line for almost an hour, had to listen to sonic retro's group sing live and learn in the most embarrassing way possible because i was right behind them
>hot as shit inside
>venue was two-story but it was ugly and cramped as shit
>got to play asrt which had virtually no line, ended up falling through the floor in adder's lair and getting stuck in an infinite fall loop
>crush 40 was pretty good but wasn't enough to salvage the event
>got to experience the autistic audience chant for adventure 3
>stopped going to further ones because they stopped hosting them in california and the san diego one left a bad taste
I'm hoping they can fix the fuckups they had the last time they hosted at the House of Blues, but I'm being cautios.
>>135755918
Off-stage
>>135754917
Sonic Adventure re-release
>hd graphics
>re-recorded voice with current boom cast
>sticks thrown in somewhere
>still no playable supersonic in regular levels
I'd still buy it.
>>135755881
Big the Cat memes are the only reason Aaron went.
>>135755969
>we
Who'd you go with?
>>135755969
I'm surprised they aren't hosting this one in LA, considering they just moved down there.
>>135756076
same here anon, I'd totally pirate it
>>135756076
>That imageI'd watch Sonic Highschool Anime
>>135754917
Guess I'm skipping this years game.
Okay so ive been at work. Is there a repeat stream I can see when I get home later like on YouTube or something?
I wonder if Naka will be going to the event in July. Seems like a waste to get the Japanese guys to fly out for this when they didn't even do much.
>>135756076
>Sonic Adventure re-release
Put it on the current engine and drop everything but the basic premise. Build a new game from the ground up.
>>135756358
It'll probably be up somewhere by the end of the day on Youtube. Don't even bother though, it was a complete waste of time
>>135756358
Believe me you didn't miss anything.
>>135754723
I have no idea what to think of this panel. Nothing really makes much sense. I think they just needed an outlet to inform people of the July event.
Also, I can't help but feel they put a lot more emphasis on the classic games than on the rest of the things.
>>135755969
Did they have any food venues? They probably do but I've never been to any so curious.
>>135756164
Brother
>>135756076
>re-recorded voice with current boom cast
>sticks thrown in somewhere
No, no, no, no, NO!
>>135754818
I am not ok with Boom though.
>>135756358
You found out what the numbers meant, that's about all you missed though.
>>135756730
I feel like it has alot of potential if someone did a voiceover and came up with better plot
>>135756076
This sounds a bit like that supposed "leak" that an anon bullshited a while back
>No Sonic Adventure 3
How long are they going to keep the people waiting? It's what the public demands!
>>135754904
Stay here a while more until things die down a bit, then go back to working on something I'm designing.
>>135756409
>>135756527
I can't understand why they bothered to call in RCS, Pollock, Naka and Iizuka in for a 45 minute panel at a mostly-unknown convention. If they were doing Q&A for most of it, sure, but Aaron blew all of their time on a powerpoint.
>>135756527
It was definitely a weird panel. I feel like with more time it would've been cooler, but it was too rushed.
>Also, I can't help but feel they put a lot more emphasis on the classic games than on the rest of the things.
Probably for time reasons and to talk about the creation of Sonic with Naka. Remember, some classic stuff got skipped as well.
Besides, the crowd was clearly more into Classic Sonic than Modern or Boom Sonic.
>>135757042
You're right, it feels like there should be more to this for everyone to go, unless they are gonna spend a shit ton of time talking to fans at the actual event after the panel.
I just hope they all come to event in July, at least.
>>135757014
Alright let's play a little game then, it goes like this.
>I want a new Sonic game called ________ that has ________ because fuck _____
>>135756437
>>135756445
>>135756743
Ha, I don't care really I want to see how bad it was anyway. What was it called again?
>>135756527
that was aaron's poor time management and sloppy work
he never even got time to finish his presentation and over loaded it with memes as well as the viewers having no screen time to hear any of the audience's questions to the panel
everything that stream audience saw could have been conveyed in a twitter post or two if you wanted to split up the event announcement and the game release dates
or just tossed out a youtube video
Sega employee here
Sonic Adventure 3 will be released exclusively on PS4.5 and run at 4k 24fps
PS4 and Xbox One will get ports of Classic Collection and Gems Collection and will run 60fp2s
Wii U will get a port of Shattered Crystal and Fire & Ice but they will still run at the same resolution as the 3DS game
Happy 25th please don't ignore us for Pokemon and Zelda like everyone else.
>>135757629
SXSW History of Sonic Panel
>>135757038
Small plane builder anon?
>>135757543
>I want a new Sonic game called Shadow the Hedgehog 2: Ow the Edge that has Platinum Games as developer because fuck the police
there was a panel at the end aaron clearly clicked past on purpose that even said 'we dont have time for this panel' anyone nab a screenshot? or has the event been uploaded anywhere yet? I wanna see what it said.
>>135757042
Even then, I still think they'd need more time, since Naka and Iizuka speak Japanese and need a translator, which takes quite a bit of time for answers.
>>135757629
Wasn't really that bad, just a bit of a letdown. I imagine you're used to that. Also be prepared for Mike's shirt.
>>135757042
This is actually a pretty good point. I can't help but think it wasn't a mistake and something else went on that we missed.
>>135757078
>It was definitely a weird panel. I feel like with more time it would've been cooler, but it was too rushed.
Maybe, but it was still 45 minutes, which is quite a bit. I think this kind of panel would have been better suited for later, when we weren't all distressed over what they might be doing or not doing and when they're doing it.
>>135757834
Pretty sure, it was for a fan Q&A they didn't have time for.
>>135757543
I want a new sonic game called Knuckles that has Knuckles because fuck sonic
"May the best dance in a Juno bridal".
>>135757745
This
>>135754904
Joining the Splatfest
>>135758056
Here we go again
>>135757967
Everything announced at the panel could've been posted on the Sonic twitter, which they should've done.
>>135754904
Beat up little kids in Pokken and maybe play some Splatoon
>>135757834
I don't think it was ever shown, sorry anon.
>>135757543
I want a new Sonic game called Chao Oasis that has in depth chao customization because fuck going fast
>>135757543
I want a new Sonic game called whatever that has house music because as much as I love Senoue's jams, my nostalgia boner aches for the classic era's pop/synth soundtracks.
>>135758056

>>135757543
I want a new Sonic game called Mario the Plumber because fuck any semblance of identity.
>>135757721
Nope
>>135754840
This, I wanna see an awkward /sthg/ meeting live
>>135757543
I want a new Sonic game called Sonic the Fighters 2 that has Arcsys as the developer because fuck realistic expectations
>>135758056
>>135758386
I never have an idea anymore as to what is happening over at Sonic Team
>>135758386
>A cold but cozy December
>And we're back to the origin, so let me begin
Sonic 06 remake confirmed.
>>135758810
06 came out in November though
>>135758029
But will it have Knuckles?
>>135758791
I will say, they've done a great job at not giving us a real fucking clue about what we are getting, if we are getting anything.
>>135758386
New Knuckles theme confirmed
>>135758358
Madeon soundtrack?
>>135758958
Alright fine.
>Love(sic) part 4 was released in June
>So was Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Adventure 3 confirmed.
Didn't they say they'd have the new game playable at the July event? That could mean we get an announcement earlier than July.
Or he's referring to Boom and we can be sad.
>>135759354
All they said is that if we're looking for an announcement, then we should go to the event
GRAND SLAM
Oh yeah, how did the panel go, is it still on?
>>135757895
>Also be prepared for Mike's shirt.
He didn't have that shirt in the photo they took earlier in the day, I wonder if he put it on purpose for the panel.
>>135759445
We got an announcement for a future event in July that might have an announcement.
>>135759445
Panel ended. We only got 2 things: The release day for Fire and Ice, and that the numbers referred to an event on July 22nd, which may have the game announcement
>>135759543
Cool, so is there a highlight reel or anything?
>>135759014
Yeah, they really have
I don't even know what I want anymore. Just announce something already. These dank memes and cryptic numbers bullshit aren't even fun, they're just downright annoying.
It's like they're trying to stall for time or something, like they don't even have an anniversary game in the works. I hope that's not the case, but it's what I'm thinking at this point.
>>135759445
>Mike shirt is Purple
>So is Big
>Mike isn't the slimmest fellow around thus making him "big"
Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 confirmed.
I didn't get the feeling RCS enjoyed the panel too much.
>>135759638
To have a highlight reel, you'd need to have highlights. This panel didn't have any.
>>135759638
No, least not yet anyways.
>>135759720
I don't even get why he or most of the people were there. They didn't do much.
>>135759693
>Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 confirmed
Well there was that amazing trailer for it at the end so yeah, confirmed.
>>135759638
naka took a picture of the audience having a majority vote to liking his box art instead of the NA box art
there were a lot of Big memes, but all the memes were small
>>135758358
They could always have Madeon compose some of the music for the game.
>>135759445
We got standard Sonic history stuff in the form of a rushed powerpoint done like it was a middle school project.
A few questions for Naka and Iizuka. A story from Mike Pollock.
Aaron baited people with chaos for reactions and then said there are no plans for them in the future. Also, pulled a bait n switch with 06.
They skipped a few games, most notably CD, Rush, and Sonic Lost World.
No mention of the comic books at all, even when they were talking about Sonic in other media.
We got an announcement for an event in July.
And finally a Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 teaser.
>>135759014
It's not possible for that to happen, they must actually be doing nothing or at least not making progress in any particular direction.
So... how bout that Sonic dude? Heard he has an attitude and is really fast.
The presentation was fun, I'm mostly dissapointed by the fact that the QaA session was skipped.
>>135761093
>implying anyone would ask good questions
>>135759691
Given the timing, this would not surprise me. SoA may be operating on fumes on purpose.
>>135760818
>>135759810
>>135759728
>>135759693
>>135759604
>>135759543
So, it was nothing after all?
Good thing I chose to watch the rugby, some of the best I've seen in a long time.
>>135761196
I would've asked why Stardust Speedway was shown as the bad future in Sonic 4: Episode II and Sonic Generations.
>>135761093
Same, would've been interesting to see the questions people had after waiting so long for any sort of Sonic news.
>>135761315
More memorable to the zone. Though I like the idea that Sonic failed in Sonic CD.
>>135761196
Exactlly.
All those cringe questions and Aaron having to dancing around them and we totally missed out. We got jipped, Aaron knew what he was doing by making the presentation as long as he did.
>>135761291
>So, it was nothing after all?
Pretty much. It was a very rushed history of Sonic sprinkled with some memes.
Pretty much what they advertised and what I expected, but not really what I wanted.
>>135761315
You wouldn't be picked
Everyone picked would try to be a memelord or start shit
>I'd just like to say Boom is shit and fuck BRB
>BIG THE CAT FISHING GAME WHEN?
>Sonic 06 is so great please make it again
>CAN YOU PUT COLDSTEEL IN A GAME?
>>135759691
This
>>135761291
We told you do to so after all
>>135761315
I would've asked about the two worlds thing.
>>135761513
Its a smart move especially since he knows the fanbase more than anyone.
Its like how Namco let every country but America vote for pokken characters
>>135761521
Were there at least a few good jokes?
How did those bingo cards work out?
>>135761680
That was another Britanon. I imagine he's still at the pub or something.
>>135761731
Silly Bamco we still got Braxien and Gardevoir out of it! America still wins.
So did you take away anything from this panel, /sthg/?
>>135762030
Aussies voted in Braixen
>>135762015
>How did those bingo cards work out?
Not a single Bingo.
>>135762030
>No Braviary
What's the point
>>135762118
That being a Sonic fan is suffering
>>135759691
>>135762118
>>135762196
it could be worse
we could be the metroid fanbase
>>135762129
Downunda finally acquired good taste.
>>135762118
That Naka needs to make a sequel to Rodea
I'll probably pre order fire and ice
The next mainline game is going to be shit since they didn't show any footage proving its far from ready
Sega still hates us
>>135762118
Nobody has any idea what the fuck they're doing. And memes
>>135762283
Good point
>>135762118
>Yuji Naka is funny
>SoA clearly wants chao back, but they aren't coming back for some reason
>Lost World being skipped is very curious
>Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 is going to be a thing
>SEGA still doesn't give a shit about Archie
>>135762196
Nothing to add.
>>135762118
I learned that:Sega sucks, Nintendo is superior
Mario is cooler than Sonic.
>>135762118
They still want to play the secrecy game, and I think we are going to be given the short end of the stick.
>>135762625
"Remember when we were good?"
"Yeah, that was cool"
>>135762625
Stop the madness.
>>135762625
25 more minutes until whatever-who-gives-a-fuck.
>>135762625
>>135762625
Oh no, I'm getting hyped for nothing again.
>>135763389
For what?
>>135762625
Yes, let's do yet another retrospective on better times.
>>135763389
It's literally fucking nothing again, don't even bother.
>>135763559
>>135763619
That was the joke
>>135763675
You suck, McBain.
>>135762705
The secrecy/waiting game has gone on way too long. I can't take much more.
>>135754531
How long till comics again?
>>135764026
I fully agree, don't take me wrong.
>>135764303
279 comes out physically on Wednesday, and we should expect previews of SU83 to come 1 or days after that. And then SU83 itself is released on the 30th
>>135762534
I'd be willing to bet that anything that the fans CLEARLY want that isn't being actively worked on is by direct intervention by Iizuka.
>>135764303
#279 comes out this Wednesday
SU #83 comes out the next Wednesday
>>135764404
Alright so least we'll have that
>mfw people still taking about Sonic in the SXSW twitch stream
>>135764830
the audience or twitch chat?
>>135764874
Twitch chat
>>135765113
irrelevant
if it was the audience I would be embarrassed to be part of this franchise
>>135765207
Guess you're lucky
>>135765429
Elise finally won
>>135765429
Maybe Elise should lead that squad on second thought
>>135764515
>Still Ian Flynn.
God, I'm sick of this writer. When are we finally going to get a new creative team?
Reminder that not only does Mario Kart play better than any Sega racing game, but even the game with koopalings, baby versions of everyone, and pink gold peach has a much better cast of characters.
>>135765743
Who would you prefer if he were to be replaced?
>>135765796
You're objectively wrong, but you're welcome to continue thinking thatThey're both fine character racers for two different skill classes of players. No shame in liking both.
>>135765743
When someone better than him shows up. Which hasn't happened yet.
>>135765743
Never, so get over it.
>>135765743
When they get someone better. Which basically ain't happening. We've got a good team right now honestly. Even if he left, Aleah would take over
>>135762625
>>135762625
I guess it's a Sonic Retrospective instead.
>>135765743
There are other writers anon.
The same six people in the Sonic panel are now in the Sega panel.
>>135765928
>Who would you prefer if he were to be replaced?
Out of every possible current comic writer? Well, that's a long list. I just want someone new. 10 + years on a single book is ridiculous. I wouldn't mind Evan Stanley. Her short run on Universe was pretty good.
>More Sonic history
Holy shit, I hate Twitch so much. It keeps stuttering for no reason.
>>135757014
>It's what only autists demands!
Fixed
>>135765743
Hopefully never, Ian is great
>>135766197
>Twitch calls it a SEGA Retrospective
>We mean it's a Sonic retrospective
>Still labeled as SEGA Retrospective
That sad moment when Sonic is all SEGA has and it's struggling
>>135762625
NO MORE
>>135765743
Probably never, unfortunately. Archie Sonic will likely end with him still at the helm.
>catch up from thread 421
>already autosaging with 800 posts
>oh shit something big must have happened!

Well Evan is probably handling Silver from here on out, and Aleah's doing her own thing as well, which will likely be continued after Unleashed is done. Also it's not exactly uncommon for smaller books to have the same writers for 10+ years. Robert Kirkman's been doing Invincible since 2002 for example
This panel is already better since the host is actually asking questions.
>>135766346
>I just want someone new.
Even if they're bad?

I would have asked if that one fuck has ever heard of a dentist.

Can't stop thinking of that one SOnic short, you know the one.
>>135761521
But Sonic is a meme anon.
>>135766784
They did only have 45 minutes to work with. That's pretty shitty for a panel of this scale.
>>135766560
they should branch out with some GOOD spin offs
racers transformed was a step in the right direction, boom was a tumble backwards down the wrong flight of stairs
a good RPG similar to paper mario would be fantastic, they could make use of a lot of his old power up and abilities as well as the homing attack that they have an undying boner for
plenty of friends you can take into battle with you for fights to play out differently or for exploring in the over world
>>135765928
The game writers, they're better.
>>135767029
That's mean.

It's nice to know that we all agree that Sonic 2 is the best Sonic game.
>>135767358

Yeah no
If you mean the SoJ writers, I'd be okay with them doing a couple stories here and there

They're basically going over everything from the earlier panel, but it's more in depth with some questions. Honestly, they should've just done this initially, but I guess time constraints prevented it.
>>135768710
>Using lame Japaneese titles
This part of your Samurai code, weaboo?
>>135767716
It's more interesting since they're not rushing through the dev segments.
Sonic makes me want to be dead.
>>135768784

I don't know. The first one was more fun.

I'm still baffled that someone thought that making that game was a good idea. And not just one person, but an entire dev team thought this was a good idea and nobody said at some point "You know maybe this is absolutely fucking retarded and we shouldn't do this"
Someone modify a Sonic cycle pic to break off into an infinity sign labelled "No announced games"
>they explain why they implemented chao into sonic
>replayability
>giving goals to players that aren't speedrunners
these are the reasons that my sisters played this game, my 14 year old sister STILL plays adventure 2 battle for the chao gardens, this game was originally made a few months she was born and she's still playing it, my older younger sister introduced it to her 6 year old daughter and she's loving it
why was this removed? collectables have always been a great way to increase playability
virtual pets have always been fucking cool and always appealed to girls
WHY were chao removed? I know some purists hate it because it's not running and go fast I thoroughly enjoyed it
I'm really digging this interview, it's the exact same fucking slides but the quality has increased
so
fucking
much
had this played before aarons, I wouldn't have been so disappointed about getting no real reveals
>>135770363
The fans themselves wanted a Sonic game that was darker and had weapons, and Shadow was popular. So they made a Shadow game that was darker and had weapons because they at least had the sense to realize that Sonic himself using realish firearms was dumb.
It's really easy to say "Nobody wanted this!" when at the time a lot of people wanted it.
>>135770556
We would have but the pic was delayed.
>>135770618
Because you shouldn't be playing SA2 fucker, you should be buying the newest game and then get bored with it just in time for the new game so you'll buy that.
>>135770752
>>135770651
I know that people wanted a Shadow game, but why the aliens? I get the guns because "Dark and edgy", but why aliens? Why the multiple endings shit if you're gonna have a Last Story ANYWAYS?
>>135770618
>WHY were chao removed? I know some purists hate it because it's not running and go fast I thoroughly enjoyed it
Because the guy that put them in the game originally left
>nothing is gonna happen on 4/1/16
Oh fuck you Aaron.
>Crush 40 and Hyper potions
>Hyper potions
Who?
Why do Sonic characters have extremely-pronounced eyebrows?
>super pressed for time
>have to scrap parts of the presentation
>still play the stupid Big video
>>135771080
They probably added aliens because they wanted to do "team up with Eggman against a larger threat" missions. That and it actually made Adventure 2's story make more sense somehow.
If you could hang out with a sonic character for a day who would it be and why is it knuckles?
>Super human hearing
What is this, the modern day "Blast Processing"?
Well, that was a bit better. More involvement from everyone. Still rushed, but better.
>>135770651
And you know what? Honestly, I found the guns to be pretty fun to use, regardless of how absurd it was. It's one of the very few things that i liked about that game. Speaking of Shadow and games, how would you guys feel about a mission-based Team Dark game?
>>135771482
They started 10 minutes late here, but that extra five minutes helped them so much. Bit of a shame.
>>135770910
IF THEY HAD CHAO GARDENS
then my sisters would be playing the new games, but as it stands they're content to just watch me play it a few times and then forget it exists
>>135771080
jesus
which they would have taken the hint and at least tried, they had the formula for it
>>135771080
>but why the aliens?
They wanted to cash in on Independence Day but they were too slow.
>>135771456
>Knuckles
Nah, bro. I'd rather chill out with the True Blue himself.
>>135771425
Easier to show emotions that way. Same reason for the big eyes and large mouths
>>135771442
>That and it actually made Adventure 2's story make more sense somehow.
Actually it made it make less sense, and a lot of that is because of the GUN Commander being a thing. His entire character makes no goddamn sense whatsoever. Why did he blame Shadow for Maria's death when he CLEARLY say that he was in stasis with this big alien motherfucker right next to him? Why didn't he die with the rest of the staff not named Gerald when GUN raided the ARK? Why is he the fucking COMMANDER OF GUN?
>>135771589
>Speaking of Shadow and games, how would you guys feel about a mission-based Team Dark game?
I'd be down for it. As for the guns, those were the best part of the gameplay to be honest
>>135771456
Honestly? I'd love to hang with Silver. He's probably got some crazy stories to tell
>>135771807
Considering one of the cutscenes in the Dark path was Black Doom nuking the White House, you may not be too far off
