The GHZ Forum

It just gets worse:

That looks disturbing.

If you look very carefully, it looks like Sonic's eyes are sticking out, just like a real hedgehog. The most challenging part of Sonic’s updated design isn’t revealed in this teaser: his eyes. The filmmakers struggled with how best to depict Sonic’s eyes because often he’s only seen with one, and th...

There's an interview here about the design changes:

From what little we can see, it looks like some fan character.

Apparently it's been dumped. There's a Youtube video here:

And also a neat little thing in the music sound test:

When I first saw that trailer, I needed to double check that it wasn't a spoof. I know little about Pokemon, but that trailer just seems so bizarre. Especially Pikachu's voice which seems too sassy (Isn't he supposed to be a cute character?)

@Bo, that was a nice read. Some of my fondest internet memories were on the GHZ. Although it seems freaky that some of these things happened 10, even 20 years ago. Feels much more recent.

https://gonintendo.com/stories/321696-sega-ages-dev-tease-implementing-originally-cut-features-for-soni In a Japanese interview, M2 mention that for Sonic 2, they would like to include things that Yuji Naka wanted to do in Sonic 2, but couldn’t because of limitations in the Mega Drive hardware. It s...

Sonic 1 isn't out yet, but Sega has confirmed that Sonic 2 is coming to the Switch.

I don't think the remasters are based on educated guesstimates. The hacking community were very good at pulling out 'data' for the originals, so Christian probably knew the exact values to use when building his engine. Although, I am no expert on the hacking side of things, so I might have understoo...

It's nice to know the story behind the Spinball port, so thanks for posting that. Smash pack didn't get a wide release in Europe, so I missed out on it too. I believe Comic Zone was also later ported to the GBA, but again with a limited release. It's almost like Inforgrammes (the publisher back then...

Wasn't the Spinball source code used to make the GBA version that was released early on in the handheld's life? It couldn't have been emulated as the system didn't have the power. Although Sonic Team must have had the source code of the original Sonic games in order to make Sonic Jam, so if they man...

https://www.vg247.com/2018/09/02/streets-rage-4-hands-on-gameplay/ ^ Hands on preview. There's a new juggling mechanic. The special moves work like Sor2 in that use lose energy to use them. But, if you keep fighting without getting hit, you can get the energy back. I always thought SoR3 handled the ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=53&v=M_bgPefCyfA It's from the team that made The Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap and it seems like the new game will have a similar art style. Not really sure what to make of it, especially as Ancient doesn't seem to be involved. Had this been released a fe...

The article I linked to thinks it's Eggman, which is something I share. It's a bit repetitive as Eggman was in disguise for Sonic Free Riders.

^ The new mystery character.

Do the vehicle designs have to be so one-note? Blaze is a cat! Therefore, her car has cat ears. PERFECT! Purrfect. Damn, Vector's a whore. Sleeps with the Chaotix, Team Rose, and Team whatever they are (alternate dimensions? future timelines?) Has Team Chaotix ever been playable after Heroes? There...

Well, I get the impression that Bean is supposed to be a nostalgic throw back/cameo type deal (er... If 8 years can be counted as nostalgia). But yeah, you got me there.

Yes, you are definitely correct that Red and Yellow are lazy. I just don't find it as odious as you do on account most of the big properties did recolors early on before working out more distinct supporting cast (though Tails might actually predate both Yellow and Ray?). Remember: Luigi was nothing...

Your point of contention is that "Red" and "Yellow" would've been folded into canon? I don't think there was ever any chance of that happening. It's not like Sonic's exact duplicate from Eraser is kicking around anywhere. And even if they did somehow lingered on they surely would've been Luigi-ifie...

https://twitter.com/insanedavid/status/1023352635120730112?s=21 Videos are out. I am so glad that it didn't get released. It looks fun, but the brothers are horribly designed, just being recolors of Sonic. To be honest, all the arcade characters aren't that great, as even Ray and Mighty seem too muc...

Nope this version is 4:3. Although I think with the Taxman/Stealth remasters, if they were played on certain devices they would switch from 16:9 to 4:3. I must admit, with the Sonic remasters I preferred 16:9. It made it feel so much fresher to replay again. I also liked that they had added the Soni...

The forthcoming emulated version of Sonic 1 for Nintendo Switch will have spinsdash, dropdash and worldwide rankings: https://mobile.twitter.com/SonicJPNews/status/1019826559992164353 Kudos for them to putting extra effort into emulation. But why go to all that effort, when they could port the 2011 ...

I think the only reason Sonic the Fighters ever had a home release was because the other Model 1 fighters were receiving them around the same time as part of the Sega Ages 2500 series. Presumably StF would've been part of that as well were it not for Iizuka or such deciding to sweeten the pot with ...

Eraser was actually supposed to be in Gems and it's menu entry is still left in the game code. Gems even uses a Mega Drive emulator for some of the unlockable bonus games, so I am surprised that Eraser got the chop.

Naka said that SegaSonic was planned for Gems, but they couldn't get the controllers to work. And it seems Chaotix was planned for Gems too, but I guess the emulation was too difficult for them. SegaSonic and Chaotix aren't that great games (especially SegaSonic). It's probably better for Sega if th...
