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: 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).

I'm reticent to criticize Cream on account I'm not now or every was a little girl.

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...

Re: Sonic Mania Adventures

To be fair, this has been made on shoe string budget.

They are also all working remotely and again...

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.

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.
