Re: All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

The question now is...how will Mr.Blue look? I predict he will be a combination of the new and classic designs. Maybe he will have classic body proportions, but with subtle green eyes as seen in the Unleashed model. I'm more concerned as to who is making this. Seeing that the concept art has Japane...

Re: All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

I like how this is basically one big troll from Sega. Other than Sonic, the only characters left are arguably the most hated of the post-Gen/MD era characters from the eyes of many old-school fans(isn't this game supposed to be aimed at that audience) and the prospect of a new "shitty" friend. Now w...

I concur.

I don't know which is worse in building hype for a video game, announcements of an announcement(ex. "Square-Enix promises big news to come this summer!") or teaser games such as this and that Ryo deal with All Star Racing.

Re: Rebirth of Rocket Possum

While the new character icon is a vast improvement from the old one, the game contrast still looks too dark compared to the original titles and the pedigree of the developer still doesn't fill me with hope.

Re: Naoto Ohshima interview

From what I've seen of Nier it looks grotesque. Not just from a technical stand point, but the art direction looks ugly. Oh well, at least the main theme is nice. Wait, isn't Nier the same game that features a girl that becomes a hermaphrodite in his/her adult years because she was possessed by a de...

Re: You Had to Open Your Big Mouth

^Well, seeing how Archie gave her some goofy Robin Hood parody that looks like Sonic for a family member(in addition to all the other crap with STK), I don't think they can pull it off without me groaning at another "lame Archie Sonic character".

I thought Night of the Werehog was cute, and more enjoyable than the game it was used to advertise.

Re: You Had to Open Your Big Mouth

I think it would be odd at this point in time to suddenly give Amy living relatives also. She seems nearly as reckless as Sonic, we usually see her chasing him around the world in nearly every game for the past 10+ years, and it's been established in various incarnations sans Archie, I presume, that...

Looks like Sega-Sammy officially launched an new subsidiary that deals with CG animation.

Looks like Sega's thrown the gauntlet now. Your move, S-E. ;^)

Then the first thing Penders did was decide that Knuckles isn't the last of his race and that there are other people who'll protect the emeralds.

Re: SEGA's Leak of the Month

Sonic Classic Collection for DS has now been officially announced. Not exactly that different to past collections but it might be worth buying if the games are ported well . Seeing that Sega West instead of Sega of Japan made the announcement, don't get your hopes up. At best, it'll be another medi...

More like the Revolutionary Girl Utena movie, or that 80s cartoon (Turbo Teen?) about the boy who turns into a car when he gets wet.

Yeah, re-using the Hedgehog Engine is a possibilty, assuming they don't phone in a cheaper outsource job.

Re: All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

You realize Rocket Knight was pre-alpha, yes? You realize it's being made by a company who has yet to make a game that didn't turn out mediocre? And I doubt Sonic is going to look like Rocket Knight looks. Most of the remakes do not look ugly like that. http://www.offworld.com/assets_c/2009/09/bonk...
