Re: Sonic Unleashed?

Doesn't Fang have a profile on the official Sonic site? It's not like he's been gone THAT long, having appeared in Sonic Gems Collection and SA:DX's Game Gear minigames. And as that article said, he's even on the cover of some Archie comic. All of these have been in the past five years (?). There's ...

Re: Sonic Unleashed?

The layout for this particular level is interesting. Previous 3-D titles had linear paths surrounded by open space, creating the illusion that the level was more open ended. Of course, that wasn't the case since traveling too far off the path would send you falling to your doom. This level has an ul...

Sonic spread in Sega Video Game Illustrations

Recently I picked up an art book containing promotional images for all the major Sega franchises from the late '80s and early '90s. It was a pretty good find since it has a lot of pictures I've never seen before, as well as commentary from the artists themselves. The book even briefly covers theory ...

Re: Sonic Unleashed?

Sonic vs. Eggman isn't just better than Sonic vs. Water god/Demon/Lizard, it's more socially conscious. When Sonic's fighting Eggman, he's fighting pollution, tyranny, and obesity, the three biggest threats to modern civilization. He'd be a much more relevant video game character if they'd just reve...

Re: Sonic Unleashed?

That ending's actually funny, just for being so bizarrely unexpected. I like the series moving away from taking itself so seriously, especially after Sonic 2K6. I don't believe a word of the alleged story though, mainly because of Fang the Sniper being mentioned. I've always imagined that he belonge...

Re: Sonic's 12 inches (you know you want it)

My friends and I play a game in which someone announces a task that needs to be done and the others respond by touching their noses and saying "Not it." Whoever touches their nose last usually has to complete the task. "Doing the dishes... Not it." "Mailing this month's rent check... Not it." "Starr...

Re: Post your artwork (56k warning)

For an anime look the nose definitely protrudes too much. She looks like Captain Janeway. Probably it's more a problem with the facial structure around her nose, if it were to curve into the nose more gradually it would probably be better, or at least get rid of some of those shadows. http://starqu...

Re: The beautiful mystery fan comic of the ninties

I used to read a lot of Sonic fan comics, actually. Years ago, there were a ton of good ones. I'm pretty sure the current author for the Archie series used to draw one as well.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. According to Simon Jeffery, "the iPhone is about as powerful as the company’s defunct gaming console, the Dreamcast." Maybe it's time for a change of heart on my part. If this is true, it'll be quite an interesting development in the future. Would that give the iPhone stat...

I don't get it. So there's the game with the werewolf, the one that's an RPG, and now one with a sword? Or does he have a sword in the RPG? I haven't been paying attention.
