Every single one of them!
So do you think Sonic CD came before or after the Death Egg Trilogy?
I like to think that it came before. Metal Sonic arguably being a better Sonic robot than Mecha Sonic I chalk up to crazy time travel shenanigans.
>>145407974
After because of Sonic 4
Post based pictures of Sonic
>>145406578
They look like they're at E3
>>145408056
Sonic 4 means CD has to be before Sonic 2. Because Sonic 4 happens soon after 3K.
>>145406667I'd still hit it
>>145408056
I like to pretend Sonic 4 doesn't exist.
>>145408596
But it does
>>145408476
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY
>>145407974
Contrary to popular belief, Sonic CD cannot take place between Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. The story for Sonic 4 links Sonics 1-3&K together. Sonic CD takes place either before Sonic 1 or after Sonic 3&K. It can go both ways, really.
>>145408768
I got your Sonic 4 right here.
>>145408960
It's pretty much become a general rule that Sonic 1 is the first game that happens.
>>145409021
This guy knows what's up.
>>145408960
Sonic 4 was stated to happen right after 3K.
>>145407974
Since I didn't play CD as a kid I didn't really have a strong opinion on it's place in the timeline, but I can see it fitting well between 1 and 2.
After Robotnik finds out about Little Planet he decides to take it over to make a floating fortress on the small planetoid. Thanks to the abundant resources he's able to build Metal Sonic, since he's realized the potential Sonic has to be a threat and wants to both counter him and use his power for himself.
After that plan falls through, he's inspired to construct a planetoid base for himself, and comes up with the Death Egg. He also wants to make a new robot Sonic, but since he's pouring all his resources from Westside Island into the Death Egg he doesn't make it as refined as the first Metal Sonic. He decides to just use it as a guard for the Death Egg, and he also figures Sonic will never make it to space anyway. During the Angel Island operation, since he's just reconstructing the Death Egg, he's able to spend more resources on Mecha Sonic, making him more refined than the previous model, but still opting for the power route as opposed to finesse.
>>145409021
but what about sonic 4's intro?
>>145408960
How can Sonic 4 link Sonic 1 to it's story, but not Sonic CD?
>>145409434
Little Planet was disappeared
Could Mecha Sonic be made into the new Shard?
>>145409650
Sonic 1
Sonic CD
Sonic 2
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic 4 Ep 1
Sonic 4 Ep 2
Flows well enough to me.
>>145409676
Ian isn't going to bring in a new Shard or Scourge. He explains why in his recent podcast thing.
>>145409676
Gemerl is a thing in the comic now, and seems to have a similar personality, from what we saw in Worlds Unite. We'll see more of him in Panic in the Sky.
>>145409917
It wouldn't be so bad ifShard didn't go out the way he did
>>145409152
Yes, but Sonic CD can still fit before Sonic 1. The Japanese manual for Sonic 1 states that that was the first time Eggman used the Flickies and Sonic's other animal friends to power his robots. And in Sonic CD, Eggman uses Little Planet's flowers to power them. So it fits.
>>145409303
It takes place "some time" after Sonic 3&K. Sonic CD could very well happen in "some time"
>>145409434
I meant to say "combined", as Sonic 1-3&K now take place within a few days
>>145409375

>>145408960
>>145409375
>>145410339
You're all wrong.
>>145410339
The story for Sonic 4 describes Sonic and Eggman's actions as happening right after their adventure on Angel Island. After Sonic saved the Master Emerald and Angel Island, Sonic goes off on his own to find new places and Eggman starts rebuilding his old machines or whatever because of... whatever the story said, I can't remember the details at the moment.
>>145411310
What the fuck is this bullshittery?
>>145411569
True and Honest assessment of sonic continuity.
>>145411569
After the events of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic goes off on his own to find new places. Humiliated, Eggman decides to get rid of Sonic by refining his best creations just before Sonic 4. There's no set time between Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic 4; just "some time"
The ultimate question.
If Sonic 2 and Sonic CD were the same game, we wouldn't have this problem.
>>145412315
All Sonic games are actually just a retelling of the same legend.Sometimes I miss the days before the official Zelda timeline.
>>145412173
It's after.
Sonic 4 ties in Sonic CD into the Death Egg Saga. The Death Egg is around in Sonic 4. Sonic 4 also reuses bosses from the original Sonic Tetralogy, and the first boss of Episode II shows that Eggman is aware of that. So it takes place after.
>>145412643
Wait, I need to correct myself. That doesn't actually prove anything. My logic is broken and all I did was prove that Sonic 4 comes after S3&K.
>>145412915
It has to be before, because Sonic 4 takes place directly after Sonic & Knuckles.
>>145406501
Sally took that as a challenge.
>>145412173
Well, it'd make sense for Robotnik to try and fuck around with the Little Planet and then, after it dissapears, go decide to make his own Little Planet
With blackjack and hookers
>>145413575
SLUUUUUUUUUT!
Guys, just because a game is described as happening after another game doesn't mean it happened literally immediately after. S3&K happened after Sonic 2, but there still needed to be enough time for the Death Egg to start repairs and the Launch Base to be built up. Same with other games.
>>145413875
Except Sonic 3&K is LITERALLY described as taking place after Sonic 2. Sonic 1 is exempt to this, as Sonic 2 took place a few days after Sonic 1.
>>145414093
Sonic 3K doesn't take place immediately after Sonic 2. The manual says it took place a few weeks after.
>>145412173
I think it's before the Death Egg Saga because of this picture. I know that this picture isn't canon, but it shows that the developers thought of Sonic 2 as the next game in the series, so it only makes sense that Sonic CD would be before Sonic 2 in the timeline.
You know, the thought occurs to me that with all the time travel going on in Sonic CD, the place where it occupies in the timeline could be spun as intentionally hazy.
I think the real CD question isPAL or NTSC soundtrack?
>>145415101Yes.
>>145415101
Jap OST is best
>>145415101
Sonic Boom > You Can Do Anything
>>145415101
It depends on the zone. Jap is always good for grooving, but sometimes thematically I don't feel like grooving, and often the US soundtrack fits better then. But I'm not really attached to either of them because we didn't have a SEGA CD growing up and I didn't play CD until Gems Collection.

Better?
>>145431861I want to see Conquering Storm punch Sonic.
Worst E3 in a while. Literally nothing worthwhile besides RE7.
Sonic 4 takes place one year after Sonic CD, and the story covers somewhere under the first 2 years of continuity, after which Ivo Robotnik is outed as the terrorist Eggman, throttling Eggman's plans up a notch
>>145434567
Gravity Rush 2 and Horizon looked good
>>145434567
didn't care about anything at all
maybe it's time to give up
>>145434567
Do you predict this will be better or worse than RE6?
>>145434567Who's hype for the Zelda and Pokemon Treehouse Event?
>>145434567
>>145434928
What are you talking about? There's plenty of stuff we got from E3. There's gonna be a new Quake game, a new Prey game, Dishonored 2, Final Fantasy XV, Scalebound, a new South Park game and more. PlayStation VR looks amazing and Kojima's making a new game.

So what are your plans to celebrate the 25th /sthg/? Are you going out for chili dogs? Gonna sit in and watch a marathon of cartoons? Get drunk and yell at 06 while you play through or go about your daily business and not care about the cobalt crusader?or are you gonna bake a cake and post pictures here so we can all be gay for hedgehogs together?
>>145441162
Spend it posting here and listening to Sonic soundtracks. Also probably discuss the new issue since the 23rd is literally the day after 283 comes out
>>145441162
I'll probably forget about it, honestly.
>>145441162
probably nothing Sonic related
It's not like Sega cares about Sonic or anything
>>145441162
I don't really know but I'm sure I'll be here in this thread shitposting/drawfagging. Or maybe doing a storytime of some sort.
>>145417775
I don't think she's actually breaking the fourth wall. She's just being sarcastic out loud.
>>145441541
>Or maybe doing a storytime of some sort.
That could be fun. What would be a good issue to storytime though? Issue 1 of the main comic? Issue 1 of the Sonic mini-series? Maybe even some Fleetway love?
>>145441691
We could storytime the Fleetway prologue stories, and if anyone's interested after that, we can storytime up to issue 8 and go from there.
>>145442072
A fleetway storytime would be great. They're really short too so we'd be able to do a fair bit.
Maybe at some point even do the french BD too?
>>145442239
>Maybe at some point even do the french BD too?
I think that was done a while back. Not sure if that'd be able to be fit in alongside Fleetway, since unlike it, the French comic (Well more like single issue) is over 60 pages
>>145445279

Is there any fan fiction about Shard/Nicole?
Porn, fluff, whatever-- if there's any at all, anyone got a link?
>>145447024
No, but I've got the one tale that's even better.
>>145445279

>>145445729
Aren't a few still showing up in digests? Like, a few stories they already approved, but couldn't get to since it got canned?
>>145445912
It'll be cool to see them tackle another medium other than comics. Maybe if it works put, Ian can get a step closer to working on the games,Boom games.
>>145447024
I don't recall there being much, but I haven't checked in a long time. There seems to be a small resurgence of them in art lately, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone is creating some. You can try searching deviant art or one of fanfiction sites with their names and see if any comes up.

Wasn't Ian considered a candidate to write Colors before they went with Pontaff?
I think he sent in a draft or...something
>>145453784
IIRC, he sent a small sample when they were looking for new writers.
>>145434567
I didn't even pay attention.
Assuming Sega's working on an anniversary game, since they were not willing to reveal it at E3 where a lot more eyes would have seen it, but are going to reveal it at a fan convention, do you think the game is going to have a lot of fanservice and generally be aimed to fans?

>What would happen if they made a Sonic game?
Sonic games would get even harder. So probably about half as difficult as your average Kirby game.
>>145466636
What if the Sonic games took part of a brittish/UK charm like Fleetways?
Would you still buy it?
>>145466636

>>145468095
No that was KICK THE CAN
>>145468168
Yeah. Though a stream just for that? What if not only they ported something but improved it and added more stuff?
>>145468564
I mean, I'm sure they'll show off Fire & Ice in some form too.
>>145468564
What's to improve? Other than the obvious framerate and resolution.
>>145468824
Oh, right, I forgot about that, though I'm not sure how much Sega would approve of showing a Modern game together with a Boom game.
>mfw a port steals the spotlight from F&I
>>145469448
It really wouldn't take much to steal the spotlight from Fire & Ice.
>>145469917
How sad is it that the anniversary game is in a state where a port steals the spotlight from it?
>>145439358
Sparky.
Sonic was originally intended to be named something lightspeed related, but it didn't sound right, so they went with "Sonic".
>>145470087
Citation needed.
>>145470557
It was said a few months ago during the SXSW stream.
>>145470630
I don't believe you. Proof please.
>>145470703
I don't know how to find the stream now, but when I was watching it at the time it was live, I remember Yuji Naka saying they originally intended Sonic to be named something lightspeed related.
>>145468452
This made sense. I will continue.
>>145471912
You're full of bullshit.
>>145466786
if they made a game based on fleetway we'd be able to play as knuckles as a badass and not a treasure hunter radar detection bullshit thing, Amy would be a cover shooter using the crossbow instead a clunky as fuck hammer user and we'd probably actually get to play as Mighty who would be a hand to hand fighter type. You bet your ass I'd play it.
>>145471912
Stuff you dreamt up doesn't count, Sparky.
>>145472368
If I recall correctly, does Sega even own the characters in Fleetway?
>>145472516
They own the existing game characters, which is obvious. None of the new material.
"Amy with a crossbow" is not a new character no matter what Penders wants to believe.
>>145472516
I'm not sure, but Sonic, tails, amy and the chaotix sure. Captain Plunder, Tekno and Shortfuse probably not. Hell even the brotherhood of the metallix seem off because sonic team want the 'only one metal' rule which seems dumb.
