Hawkingbird Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The new tracks are trash. This collection needs to be updated with the original music. Ice Cap got massacred. DangerousJ and Hecatom 2 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Carnival Nights a big improvement, but i hate that track, and no one can convince me its good. Its ear grating and awful lol. Ice Cap Replacement Sucks. The rest seem alright... Edited June 21, 2022 by RSG3 Quote Link to comment
iStu X Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I haven’t heard the replacement tracks but sad to hear about ice cap. That song is such an ear worm. Probably my favorite 2D sonic track. Abbachio, Sonichuman, RSG3 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
Sonichuman Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 So Jun touched the Super Sonic track too? Not entirely sure why but HEY actually new sprites for rotating on barrels so that's cool Quote Link to comment
BornWinner Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 This is my exact reaction listening to some of these songs. Hecatom, RSG3, DangerousJ and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment
Sonichuman Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Jun should have probably just redid the tracks entirely and gone for broke but I da know. I was never really a fan of the prototype/beta tracks from the beginning and I only merely tolerated them cause that's what used for the PC collection. I'm reading a lot of disappointment out there on this and some have gone so far to say that maybe Jun just can't do Genesis sound anymore and I'm not going to say they're wrong on that if Sonic 4 is any indicator. I was hoping that he'd be able to bring something out in those versions of the songs to make me like em but no...still meh. Hell I'd buy a DLC pack probably if they took 3K's ost and just gave it the Mania treatment. Tee and Jun can split and collab that and it probably be fire.

Sonichuman Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Sega needs to just stop dancing around the question at this point and just answer next time someone asks. I mean its crazy how this something that was only just rumored about in really shushed tones to now Naka himself is pretty much flat out saying it. It's pretty much 99% true at this point and the only thing holding it back is someone working for Sega right now to confirm. Sega been avoiding answering the question up to this day and Naka now is like 'nah this happened' lol.

Sonichuman Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 We now know the reason Sega was trying to keep the cyberspace levels underwraps. They had gameplay footage of it for Nitendo's partner showcase direct today so it was probably part of a deal with them that they didn't want to show until now.

Sonichuman Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Welp IGN had their time this month, looks like it's GI's time for July since Sonic Frontiers is actually the cover https://www.gameinformer.com/cover-reveal/2022/06/28/cover-reveal-sonic-frontiers So looks like the Sonic Frontiers coverage blowout is going to continue into next month. Side note: Cover for GI this month was done by Evan Stanley...If you read the comics then you should know who that is. Edited June 29, 2022 by Sonichuman RegH81 and BornWinner 2 Quote Link to comment
Sonichuman Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'm reading through GI's cover story and he goes pretty indepth with what you experience at the start of the game and some of the beginning story beats like what happens with Eggman and I gotta say what I've read so far has put me a bit more at ease regarding Frontiers. It hasn't completely alleviated my worry but the way he's describing the game and what he's doing, how the combat works, and how Sonic controls in the open world has put me back into cautious optimism. It also makes me further annoyed that Sega's put videos of that super early build of the game up like that at the start cause they could have had footage from the Summer Games Fest build and it probably wouldn't have been as jank looking. IDW 50 is out now. I won't be able to pick up my issue until Fri but I'm quite happy to see how this clash is going to work out and I've been seeing people praising it on my twitter feed.

Sonichuman Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) No wisps, Drop Dash is apparently in, no spin dash currently which is weird....There is a Boost that you can only get after collecting a certain amount of rings that makes Sonic really fast apparently.

Sonichuman Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) So I read Issue 50 today and that extremely well done. Ian turned Eggman into Batman and it was amazing. The fights that happened were great especially between Starline and Eggman Spoiler There's also an interaction that happens between Sonic and Surge that was peak Sonic in snark. If I ever come across it I'll post it. Edit: Edited July 2, 2022 by Sonichuman RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment
Reiraku Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 There was some solid writing in this one. And Starline is still a great villain. Sonichuman 1 Quote Link to comment

Sonichuman Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 I didn't read much of the Penders era for Archie so I was not aware this. Speaking of Penders...apparently dude is salty about Issue 50 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 That issue 50 cover is fine. I mean I feel like they could have done better, but Ken Penders is in no position to talk, he has some of the worst covers in Sonic comic history. His art sucks. Sonichuman and Hawkingbird 2 Quote Link to comment

Mentions Forces in particular. Kishimoto has been in Sonic Team for 19 years ! Time flies. Expanded play time thanks to open zone and other factors Open zone said to be an evolution of the world map concept. Iizuka mentions they did a lot of iteration for the island terrain to find something that'd match Sonic's gameplay Controls are cited to be an improvement over past games Open world being sparse explained by Sonic's high speed. Time to encounter with something interesting was said to be good.

Sonichuman Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 A lot of these questions are useless but it's funny seeing Iizuka's reaction to some of them.
