Re: James Marsden taking lead role in Sonic the Hedgehog mov
I doubt it would have killed anything. Sonic (and Sega) had pretty much dropped out of the average public's consciousness by the time X-treme rolled around as the Saturn was getting out-shadowed by the Playstation and N64.
If anything, a movie might have showed people that Sonic was still a thing.

Re: James Marsden taking lead role in Sonic the Hedgehog mov
http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2018/07/06/the-sonic-the-hedgehog-movie-that-never-got-made It seems Sega were trying the Sonic movie thing back in the 90s. It was planned to incorporate elements from Sonic Xtreme and even the old Sonic Mary Garnett story with Sonic coming in the real world to stop Dr Robot...

Re: Sonic Mania Plus [Spoiler free thread]
I've always wanted a behind the scenes video of Mania and Sega finally did one, starting with a focus on the art and design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BUGPG4CrE0 Sadly it's a bit disappointing. There's a few glimpses of sketches but nothing meaty. And the developers don't really say anything ...

Re: Sonic Mania Adventures
These traits are hinted at in Sonic Arcade. Ray seems to be slightly more "zany" the rest in his animations and so fits the little boy role very well. On the character selection screen Mighty flexes his muscles to show he's the strong guy. It's vague but it looks like that's what they built the pers...

Re: James Marsden taking lead role in Sonic the Hedgehog mov
Carrey's involvement certainly has raised some eyebrows. I was meaning to post this before his casting, but I don't think the plot of the movie is bad. To your average movie watchers, Sonic has all the story of Tetris. They probably remember the 'Hedgehog with Attitude' slogan from the nineties, so ...

Jim Carrey will be playing Dr Robotnik (It doesn't look like they are going with Eggman).

It's been stated in various interviews that she was designed for Heroes but then introduced in Sonic Advance 2 so they wouldn't have to waste time in Heroes with her introduction.

Re: Everybody Super Sonic failing... (Team Sonic Racing)
I'm reticent to criticize Cream on account I'm not now or every was a little girl. I'm guessing she failed to capture that intended audience, or even any peripheral audience aside from those unsavory enough to put even Sega off their lunch. I get the impression Cream was solely created to fill the ...

Re: Everybody Super Sonic failing... (Team Sonic Racing)
I am surprised they didn't bring back Cream. I am not a fan of her, but it would have been a nod to Heroes. And she could have worked well with a team of Chao. Cream and Amy were brilliant in Sonic Battle. And then in Sonic Advance 3, they formed Team Jubilee and became the girl Sonic & Tails. But I...

This can only mean Ken & Warren are back. I guess Sonic Team must lack fluency in English to not understand how dreadful these writers are.

Famitsu have confirmed that Rouge and Omega will be present, as well as the Bomb, Cube and Eagle Wisps. No signs of the drill Wisp who is the only one to have appeared in every single game, but it's still early.

Re: Sonic Mania Adventures
To be fair, this has been made on shoe string budget. Sega wasn't willing to spring for software licenses, so the different artists had to use whatever packages they had access to (with some only being able to use Flash, which even Adobe has dropped now). They are also all working remotely and again...

Re: Everybody Super Sonic failing... (Team Sonic Racing)
Out of interest, what was so great about Transformed? I thought it was incredible dull. The track selection from the Sonic games weren't that exciting. The transformed gimmick was a neat idea, but the game usually controlled when you could change which was a waste of potential. The tracks barely had...

Re: Everybody Super Sonic failing... (Team Sonic Racing)
The description says it will have a story mode. I liked it better when these racing games didn't have a story, that way I could write them off as not being part of the overall story line, as the idea of Sonic in a car still bugs me.

Re: Revenge of the nerds
Probably Sonic Clackers. Neo on Sonic Retro worked that one out. It makes perfect sense given how Sonic & Tails behave in the game. Plus, L & R are interchangeable in Japanese. I think there's a couple of Playstation prototype controllers that have a SERECT button.

Re: Revenge of the nerds
I imagine Windii probably left it as Pox to keep more faithfully to the text, which is something translators often do.
It's like how everyone calls the Chaotix prototype "Sonic Crackers" because that's how it is mis-romanized on the title screen.
