Woot, not ded
First for Mega Drive will be amazing
nth for moms
>>144780471
Agreed
>Check TSSZ article on Penders at Sonic Revolution to see the comments
>All comments deleted and disabled
>>144732843
I know I'm late, but you really need to get a scanner so we can have better quality than a phone camera pic.
>>144780317
I dun goofed on the Mario and Sonic line, should be 23/24. Of course, don't think we even have any Japs in the general, so the 24th is the release date that matters.
>>144780471
I cannot wait for Mega Drive! Hopefully it does well enough that they can do another one every couple of months or something.
>>144781114
They could make it quarterly, then there'd be a graphic novel collection every year that wouldn't get published until a decade later.
>>144780471
I'll at least definitely enjoy the art
>>144780842
>they actually think that people would kill Penders over a comic being changed
Why are these people so sensitive? It's not like anyone in the comments actually hate Penders enough to kill him. I hope they realize that the people can shit on a person without wanting that person to die.
>>144780317
Just noticed that in were hog vision it looks like Sally is growing back her cheek tuffs, neat
>>144781464
Because in a post-social media internet all death threats are completely serious and to be taken as dangerous, even when coming from anonymous nerds on the internet.
>>144781464
Because either there are people crazy enough to do it or the retards at TSSZ (Mostly Donnie) think that venting your anger at this baffling fucking decision means they're gonna murder him. Hell, security at the con is getting beefed up because the people running it think there's a serious chance of someone assaulting Penders
Maybe when it gets to the point where you have to ask on Twitter for extra security at your fan convention, you may want to reconsider the choices you've made
>>144776960

>>144780631
I miss Bernadette
Which things does /sthg/ would excite their favorite Sonic characters the most?
>>144782661
>Bunnie
Antoine and a way for her to look normal while still being robotic so she doesn't become useless
>Omega
A nuclear arsenal
>>144781464
Please understand that authorities on the internet are like cults, and believe themselves to be inherently worthy of respect and deference. Thus, anyone who disagrees without the proper amount of submission is perceived as crazy, and thus potentially dangerous.
>>144782661
>>144782983
>.gif
I waited way too fucking long for something
>>144782340
Did the writefags ever finish making the Bernadette stories?
>>144783146
Did they ever finish anything is a better question
>>144783326
That one Buntoine story got a decent amount of chapters.
>>144780317
What is Robotnik planning?
>>144783553
He wants a chili dog too! I don't blame him.
>When your weekend was all up and down and all around…
#mondays #weekends #speed by #me-e the hedgehog #hope your weekends were relaxing and enjoyable #do you like our dog friend above? #he's such a sweetheart #we may be red-eyed and weary #but that won't stop us from having a fun 25th anniversary #and we hope you''ll enjoy it too! #now where's that how to c++ book...
What did he mean by this.
>>144782061
What is it with Elevens choosing the most irritating places to upload work?
>>144784053
Aaron with more tags I see, nothing probably
>>144783326
The deer sisters fic got delivered, so yes.
>>144784053
>#now where's that how to c++ book...
Is Aaron making the next game?
>>144784053
Maybe they're remaking speed highway again?
>>144776272
It's funny and cute seeing Sonic angry to do the point you see he has sharp teeth.
>>144784053
Dog's probably sad cause he has to wear that sonic outfit
>>144784053
>JUST
>Tfw Aaron probably drops by here now and thenhi

I see through your ruse, Mememan.
>>144780934
He has one, it's his computer that's the problem.
>>144780317
How long till news?
>>144785783
16 to 28 days.
http://soahcity.com/2016/06/07/cancelled-sonic-game-prototype-footage-discovered/
neat
>>144786071
And there's a comic in between those days right?
>>144786325
Three, actually.
>>144786325
Tomorrow.
>>144786393
>>144786442
Damn I've been out of it, chose a good time to come back I guess
>>144785339Hi senpai.Did you preorder megadrive? We need more franchise solidarity. Seeing that tweet from sega of japan of them excited about getting some of the trades was cool.
>>144786970
>>144785516
Sadly I'm not Aaron, almost wish I was thoughalmost
Wouldn't surprise me if during the party or whenever he speaks publicly again he brings up posts like this so he can say that they weren't him.
>>144787707
Well, providing cover/smokescreen to cover his ass is always welcome, I'm sure.
>>144780934
Hopefully this weekend.
>>144784182
Because Pixiv isn't much better
>>144788026

Why didn't I see this sooner
>>144788520
I'll miss Butler's girls.
What would Sonic games be like had Sonic X-treme been released?
>>144788520
Glad this hack doesn't pencil for the book anymore.
>>144789550
Probably worse than they are now, that game looked like shit.
>>144786152
It's funny to see Shadow fall down but hear Sonic's voice come out.
>>144789550
I feel like Xtreme wouldn't have affected the series that much, considering it was a non-Sonic Team developed game on a console that was only successful in Japan. Adventure's development would have likely been unchanged, and the only difference would be people would have a weird Sonic game on the Saturn to point to and wonder what happened there.
>>144788520
Butler drew a nice Sally
>>144780631
Is there a porn is bad for you edit of this?
>>144790442
Would she be another forgotten character, never to be brought back outside of the comics?
>>144790934
She'd be hated so much by comics fans, it would be hilarious.
>>144791018
Oh shit, Xtreme would come out during the Dark Ages, wouldn't it?
>>144790934
Definitely. She might not even have gotten brought back by the comics. Considering Chris Senn says she belongs to him, he might've even pulled a Penders.
>>144790934
Maybe if Chris Senn had spent more time working on the game instead of his OC waifu, it would have actually gotten made.
>>144791114
>Chris Senn says she belongs to him
How does this keep happening?
>>144784182
There are so many protected twitter accounts of great artiststhat do lewds. It pisses me off.
>>144791256
It's no loss at all, Tiara was pretty much dark ages Sally amped up to 11.
>>144791256
He hasn't actually tried to do anything, so who knows if it's true. Either he's lying, because it was still developed by an internal SEGA studio which makes it highly unlikely for something like what happened at Archie to happen, or SEGA for some reason gave him the scraps of the game when they canceled it because they were definitely never going to use it again.
>>144784053
Mod support for anniversary game confirmed.
>>144791734
>>144784053
The dog dressed in a Sonic outfit is indirectly referring to character swap mods.
>>144791541
did anyone else notice that Gerald Boobowski did the Gerald thing first? is that just a popular name at SEGA? did someone named Gerald win a contest?
>>144792140
Maybe Gerald was SoA's landlord or something.
>>144790934
Wasn't there a concept image of her with various chest sizes IIRC?
Sally's pink and black color scheme was better than her SatAM brown one.
>>144791114
>Considering Chris Senn says she belongs to him
Provide some source, anon.
>>144794298
... Reboot Sally is just her pilot design in spats.
>>144783146
The only one I know of also involved Elias and Alicia and it's still unfinished.I still want something with Bernadette and Aleena together, don't care how little sense it makes.
>>144792140
It was actually Gazebo Boobowski.
>>144789269
Same.
>>144790743
That he did.
>>144798461

>>144798461

>>144799968
>Pseudo Sonic
Can an anon remind me of what that was exactly?
>>144800718
AoStH Metal Sonic basically.
>>144800718
From the AOSTH episode called Pseudo Sonic
>>144800718
AoStH robot Sonic built to frame him.
>>144800718
If every robot in Sonic fought each other, which one would win?
>>144801764
Most likely Omega if you're looking at raw firepower. Otherwise, money's on Metal Sonic.
>>144801764
Mecha Sonic.
Bonus question: Who would you want to win?
Thanks guys for ruining /vp/
>>144802070
What did we do now?
>>144801973
>Mecha Sonic
I think you meant Metal Sonic.
>>144801973
>Bonus question: Who would you want to win?
Shard because favorite robot. Or motobug because it'd be funny.
>>144802115
>>>/vp/
See for yourself
>>144802115
>I just checked
A fucking bunch of threads with Tails on the cover
>>144802218
You're a Metal Sonic.
>>144802319
It's a picture from some baby scat porn too. I'm so sorry for you and your board, anon
>>144802319
4 threads? That's all it takes to ruin /vp/?
>>144802319
Eh, only like 5 threads hopefully they get trashed soon. Seems to be just one faggot acting alone as usual.
>>144801764
Metal Overlord
>>144802840
This anon has it right.
>>144802797
>implying /vp/ wasn't ruined from the start
>>144802319
Welp. Guess you could spam Ashachu at him in retaliation.
>>144802906
They would stop him mid transformation so no
>>144802906
No lie, that design freaked me out back in 2004
What's the newest Sonic game you own /sthg/? I'm curious
>>144803332
Lost World, both physically and digitally.
>>144803332
Functioning, Lost World Wii U. Otherwise Runners.
>>144803332
As in like what's the last sonic game you bought? If that's the question it would be sonic unleashed for the PS3. I got it for 2$
>>144803332
Sonic Lost World for Wii U. I would say Runners, but I deleted it so I no longer own it.
>>144803332
If you count Sonic Boom as a ""game"" (it was a gift) then that, otherwise Sonic Colors
>>144803497
Got the cart for Sonic 3, completing my collection of the Genesis games.
>>144803332
lost world physically. I guess Runners would be the newest digitally, because I don't buy digital games I just get the physical releases.
>>144803332
Sonic Generations on the 3DS. It's servicable I guess but very short and incredibly generic.
>>144803497
More like year of release new, so for example, if your newest Sonic game is Unleashed then that would mean the last time you bought a Sonic game was in 2008.
>>144804021
Oh then the last thing I got was generations considering o don't own a wii u
Which 3d sonics are worth my time, /sthg/?
>>144794298
hey how did he do that? When sonic spins, he spinds forward, not backwards, so his spines wouldn't be able to cut anything
>>144804563
The Adventures, Unleashed, Colors, and Generations. Black Knight as far as spin-off games go, but I'd recommend emulating because the controls work way better without waggle.
>>144804563
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 until you can't stand them anymore and Colors and Gens.
>>144804563
Adventure 1 and 2, Unleashed, Colors, and Generations
>>144804563
Hard to answer that since a lot of the games are different from each other gameplay wise. Just give a few a try and see what you like.
>>144804563
Here's what definitely *aren't*.
Sonic and the Secret Rings (yay, the same level 5 times except this time I can't run into any pots!)
Sonic Heroes (Bottomless Pits: The Game)
Shadow the Hedgehog (The game that *never ends*)
Sonic '06 and Sonic Boom (you know why)
Everything else is more or less fair game.
>>144804774
>>144804727
Which console would you recommend Unleashed on?
>>144805350
Xbox 360
>>144805350
PS360
The Wii and PS2 version is just fart.
>>144805154
>Sonic and the Secret Rings
The multiplayer makes for a decent party game if you're into early Wii waggle mini games.
>>144805350
PS360 has more content and better graphics. UnWiished doesn't have actual hub worlds or medal collecting, which is one of the things people complain about, but it's a minor plus. Especially since you lose Empire City and it's jams.

>>144805350
Any HD version, don't buy UnWiished, it's a downgrade from what you could be playing in the HD versions.
>>144780317
What's that thing above Robotnik's head?
>>144806721
I was gonna say a spider, but now that I look closer it may be a bagworm?
>>144805350
You might think I'm lying but as someone who has beaten unleashed on bother PS3 and x360 the PS3 version is better in every aspect except load times
>>144803332
Idon't own any
>>144803332
SASRT if that counts, Generations if it doesn't.
>>144794298
Agreed. It also stick's with the Sega Sonic cast tradition of technicolor cartoon animals.
>>144808519
Why?
>>144803332
Generations
>>144808903
It's a long story that doesn't really involve Sonic.
>>144807904
How so?
Can Sonic do a backflip?
>>144810258
>>144809857
For one the game is more balanced the QTEs aren't as ball busting and it has better response to the input. Also drifting is much tighter and doesn't feel so loose. It runs better, with more stable frame rates and better picture quality. As I mentioned though the load times are a little slower and I mean a little. It shouldn't be a nuisance to you.
>>144790934
Anyone have a link to the Sonic X-treme site? Or at least to where all the stuff is
>>144811247

Not everything loads, though.

Yeah, it's been a long time since we've seen it.
>>144816719
"Long time no see, "long time, no see"."
>>144816557
It would be a nice in-joke to include, especially in an anniversary title. It really baffled me that they didn't bother including it in Sonic Generations.

Could Metal beat the Egg Beater? The armor itself was very niche, yes, specifically designed to counter all of Sonic's abilities. Metal and Sonic's skills are comparable, so...
>>144849816
Good morning anon!
>>144851538
Huh, Eggman actually winning a fight against Sonic? That'll definitely never happen in the new comics due to Sega's rules. I hope he enjoyed that, Not even Wily got a chance to one up Megaman like that

Eggman can 'win' as long as he lose at the end of the issue.

Nope.
>>144859418
>anyone care?
go figure
>Sonic boom Shadow & Metal Sonic
wew
Sonic's out, anyone want to storytime it?
>>144859418
I mean I care about it more than what ever the main team is making.
>>144859418
None of that looked even remotely fun.
>>144860369
Why?
>>144860439
I just have a hard time caring about Sonic team after Gen and LW just coming off as boring and safe too me.
I really care more about the handheld games but Sega has been trying to kill those off for years now.
I'd love if Dimps got to make another original game ala Rush. That's where they really shined, not being rushed into making handheld counterparts to console games in a quarter of the time.
>>144860669
Surprised that SEGA doesn't really take the opportunity to give the other characters spotlight through a 2D Dimps game.
>>144860669
Sega is shit for not giving dimps time and money to make something great using the 3DS, Boom and the Olympic handheld games even have higher budgets and better visuals.
Then you see companies like Capcom releasing handheld games with, DOF, Bumpmaps, real time shadows, dynamic lighting, and other cool visual shit.
Just thinking about what we could have with a handheld Sonic depresses me.
>>144860785
We'll never have a Rush title with Advance's character roster.
>>144860520
Fair enough, although I can't bring myself to be interested in Fire & Ice myself. That said, if Sonic Team haven't come up with something good (or at least decent, but longer than the last few games) with the extra time they've seemingly been given, then I think I'll give up hope too.
>>144860882
All of Dimps effort with Lost World got crammed into the first zone or two. So much so that anons claimed the 3DS version was better before meeting the parts where it all fell apart.
>>144859418
>tfw this happens while at work
I wanna watch it dammit
>>144860936
We will never get a Rush game again anon.
Hell we will never get another mainline handheld Sonic game that isn't a second version, we will never get anything as comfy as Rush again and the thing that saddens me the most isDimps will never evolve the handheld Sonic games tech and gameplay mechanic.
>>144861416
Agreed, I 100% it and there are only a few zones I'd go back and play because of how shitty the rest are.
>>144861581
You can browse 4chan, but not youtube at work?
Is there a specific reason Dimps is stuck making handheld versions of main games? Did Rush Adventure bomb hard or something?
I'm still butthurt about how poorly some of the franchises were handled in WU.
Not even the event itself, just stuff like the numerous Okami fuckups (making up Ammy powers when she already has a million techniques, Issun's dialogue being way off, etc), the weird... nothingness of Panzer Dragoon despite even the first game having elements that would fit in well, at least three instances of "Authority figure tells heroes/villains to fight Sigma", stuff like that. There was some good shit like Zain and Geemel in GnG, but it all got wrapped up in two pages.
>>144862096
No, but Sonic 4 did.
>>144862096
Someone at Sega decided Rush Adventure should be released the same day as Zelda PH because Rush sold so well they thought they could beat Zelda.
Its pretty obvious what happened after this.
>>144861581
You're honestly not missing much. Looks more or less the same as the previous game.
>>144862271
I will never read it. WC is still fresh in my mind as a great event, i don't wish to sully it.
Also don't put Gore Magala in a comic if you're not going to do anything with it. There are literally 194 monsters you could've put in that role and it would seem less out of place. People thought Sonic was going to frenzy like StC's Super Sonic ffs
>>144862367
Shadow's just a big softie on the inside.
>>144861810
I browse on my phone and I'm careful when browsing this page. On Youtube, I wouldn't be able to have sound and I wouldn't be able to focus on the video.
Storytime when?
>>144862279
Oh yeah. I tend to forget about that one.
>>144862652
Soon. All I need to do is wait for the comic to download and save the pages
Next Sonic Team game better be on PC. I bought goddamn Sonic 4 and Lost World on it. Don't burn me, SEGA.
>>144863049
