Shorts: New Sonic CafÃƒÂ© Game Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ E3 Related Pictures

Professor Machenstein · Sat Jun 04, 2005 4:56 pm

The discussion value to the topic seems to dried out. We've already discussed the Shadow statue, that Sonic CafÃƒÂ© thing, and then there was some comment on the cell-phone Sonic's holding. The only thing left to do is make random observations... Or, not say a thing.

Off-topic: Double-S-, I'm sorry I called you a hick before leaving previously. I came back here to make ammends, but it seems I'm doing the complete opposite. Therefore, I'm going to let it out right here. You didn't have it coming. I'm just a tightass, emo, furry, gothboy who slits his wrists and can't make a useful post, even if his life depended on it. I mean, spending years on the Sega.com message boards can do a lot to you. That's why I've come here to be raised in GHZ's example. You guys are smart, funny, and worth listening to, and I'm a grade-A drama queen. So yeah, if anything, I want to be a GHZer, and I will start by taking back all the lame insults I've thrown at you all. Understand, I come to serve, not to battle.

It's happening again...try not to ask apologies too much, ok?

I used to go on the Sega.com messageboards too, until I realised they were all faggots and sought refuge in places elsewhere. Goddamnit, when I joined here I was as much of a fag as the Sega.com posters. It takes time to find your niche here, but you won't find it by whining and wallowing in self pity.

Cara made an astute observation. Stop apologising for everything, stop emo-aning about how much you suck. We get it, you have low self esteem. Just take the piss out of people and don't take anything we say seriously. Be a complete asshole. That's the magic of Internets.

I suppose there was a draft in that room.

I poke fun at myself and other people. It has nothing to do with self esteem.

Weeeeeeell... I don't want to be douched. I guess this place requires balance.

Request granted.

Wow! He's even more of a drama queen than TSS.

He's lucky he wasn't here during GHZ Survivor. He probably would have voted for himself as well.

... Aaaanyway.

You know, if I squint real hard, it actually does remind me of the classic design, modeling issues notwithstanding. Also, it's amazing how much friendlier Sonic looks with his old black eyes. Squinting kinda phases out the green.

Professor Machenstein · Sun Jun 05, 2005 11:27 pm

Maybe Uekawa has squint-vision. What other reason do you think Ristar came from a rabbit-like character to a star-masked sphere?

I kinda see what you mean about modern Sonic art looking classic-y. A good example of this would be the Sonic Advance 3 art here.

The black in Sonic's eyes virtually make the green unnoticable. Not to mention Sonic's blue pigment is now lighter like the Sonic CD Intro/Ending, and the muzzle is pale too.

Sort of, but I was really only talking about the CG mobile phone Sonic. The Sonic Advance 3 art there, while similar, definitely has more of the Xtreme modern atmosphere.

In the phone pic the ears are more rounded, his eyes are wider and his brow is much less furrowed compared to the almost evil looking SA2 version.
