Re: Sonic Generations blows

Well, I found a "GAME MODE" on my TV and I'm sure the lag isn't as bad as it used to be but it still isn't right. I guess I'm never meant to play this stupid game.

Re: Sonic "Story Comics" and other comics

Does anyone know where I could get an image of the Sonic art in this photo? It'd look swell on my guitar. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g116/ ... 561863.jpg

In fact, is there a good source for any of that old retro-y art?

Re: SONIC HYDRO THUNDER

The other thing that I supposed seduced me about Sonic 2006 initially was that it looked like an attempt to make a slightly more "mature" Sonic. I shudder to type that, especially because the reality of that statement meant shit like the hideous human girl kiss or whatever the fuck that was, but at ...

Re: SONIC HYDRO THUNDER

It was an embarrassing mistake, of course, which taught me a sore lesson about never being publically optimistic about anything ever again, but I thought Sonic 2006 looked good when it was first announced for that reason. I sort of liked the art direction and I liked how it looked like a luscious ne...

Re: Sonic Generations blows

It's one of them modern TVs you get nowadays. Got HD in em. Big telly, nice picture. Nice picture. This lag is really bad - like, this bad . I'm sure my senses have dulled with age but no other game is like this. I guess there could be some particular TV setting the game doesn't like or something? I...

Sonic Generations blows

I just bought it on impulse for basically nothing. First Sonic game I've bought since SA2. I felt an urge, a dreadful longing, the pull towards the cliff. Gravity is so much stronger at the edge. I've only played 30 seconds and it's already the worst Sonic game ever, and here's why: there's a contro...

Re: The Sonic OVA is rare now

Sonic Heroes is nearly 10 years old. Fuck me. I remember when Sonic 1 was 10.

Also, so sez Wikipedia: "In 2004, Sonic Heroes was the sixth bestselling game in the United Kingdom overall." ??????

Re: Sonic "Story Comics" and other comics

Another weird thing about the Sonic robots is that Metal Sonic is the only that has persisted. The others have been forgotten about. Metal Sonic is the only good "robot Sonic" character, and even then only the original Sonic CD version. It's a very fresh and non-literal imagining of what's basicall...

I played The Last of Us.

It's got problems, but it's a fascinating demonstration in how far you get with writing that's like, actually really good. I mean, it's got character development and everything.

Re: Awaiting your orders, miss Jade

Sounds very similar to the sort of stuff my old boss David Braben used to say about Outsider.

Before it was canned and I lost my job along with dozens of others, I mean. Even though he continued to say things like “There is still publisher interest in the project, and we haven’t cancelled it.”

Re: Sonic 1 and 2 getting Sonic CD style remakes

I half expected the developers to magically jump out of the game and force a physical copy down my throat, shouting something along the lines of 'You wanted a classic Sonic game? Here, take it! Take it!'. Sonic 4 is the most cynical and insulting Sonic game, and that's saying a lot. It's worse even...

Re: Sonic Lost World - Nintendo Exclusive

Doomsday zone is actually very much in line with the rest of the game from a playability stand point. The only difference is that you are forced forwards and have a limited amount of time to succeed in the form of the ring counter. Is this really true? Seems to me it was completely different, playi...

Re: There is a Sonic webcomic and it is ok

He finally figured out that all the cool kids leave.

Not Enough Rings obviously isn't parody and it's kind of stunning Suit is even going with that story. So I hope Sega doesn't deem to crush it. There wouldn't be anything in it for them. Sega, I mean. Or Suit, for that matter.

I don't get the werehog thing. I never played Unleashed, but regardless of the quality of the design or whatever, why would you want Sonic the Hedgehog to be a werewolf now?
