I did not read the Archie Knuckles series back in the day and this clip from the comic made me laugh

And yes Penders was responsible for this.

We are staring into another timeline...and it is just as horrifying as it would have been 2 years ago.

[Sonichuman]

If you want to see the clip someone put it up on youtube

 

[Hawkingbird]

Ok, that scene is great. They took the piss with ugly Sonic. They straight up turned him into Virgil

[RSG3]

Yea I gotta say that scene is fucking brilliant.

How the fuck did Sonic deliver 15 years of decent to mediocrity in game form but then fucking nail it when it came to movies? 

 

Wtf?

sonic 2 deleted scene

 

[Sonichuman]

There is a story mode in Sonic Origins and it can only be played as Sonic.

Curious...probably just playing through the games with barely any changes aside from them being the upres ports and what not but I'm hoping that there's some cutscenes specifically made for this mode.  Could be cool.

Must be due to it streaming on Paramount Plus they might have dropped the digital versions already.

Maybe. I mean, I’m use to digital always dropping first as I believe digital always releases 2 weeks before physical. Or that’s the trend I’ve noticed. I just didn’t expect basically three months difference

Sega un Thanos snapped Sonic 06 and put it back up on the Xbox 360 marketplace for 5 bucks for some reason

https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/SONIC-THE-HEDGEHOG/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802534507d6?DownloadType=Game

 

I'm guessing they're trying to get any money they can on this Sonic train that's been chugging through this year?  I da know...If you want to be masochistic and somehow own/play one of the worst games ever made and you still have your 360 then have at it.

 

Edit: aaaand here come some of the jokes

Anyone wanna get triggered really quick?

 

 

I know what you're thinking...if Dark Brotherhood is no. 6 on their list...WTF did they put behind it?   SA2, SA1, Generations, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Spinball in that order.  I'm one of those people that played Dark Brotherhood and thought it had some potential that a sequel could have ironed out the kinks and it would have been far better...but I'm not that brave to put that game above any of these games lol.

 

 

Full versions of the Sonic Drone Home animation have been popping up on youtube but they're all off screen vids and most of them have the sound really low.  If you're interested in watching it here's one of them

If the knuckles show is animated this well then this should be pretty great.

[iStu X]

Dark Brotherhood is amazing. Stfu. 😂

 

Spoiler

Legit one of the worst games I’ve ever played.
 

But like every other sonic travesty out there it holds a special place in someone’s heart somewhere.

Tails & Knuckles in the new shirt are voiced by the main monster in Yo-Kai Watch and The Hulk.

Dark Brotherhood was hot ass. Anyone putting that in a best top 10 is hella suspect. 

[globe]

I've seen plenty of people defend Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06 and Sonic and the Black Knight, but I barely seen anyone defend Dark Brotherhood.

Well it's polygon so you can be 100% sure they didn't play any of those games.

Shadow the Hedgehog and Black Knight where flawed games, but still had their merits, so I can see why they would have fans.
With Sonic 06, tbh i can't see why anyone will defend it 🤣

 

But even then, it would make more sense to me that someone will put it on a top 10 Sonic games list than Dark Brotherhood.

 

That game is terrible.

 

[Hawkingbird]

Sonic 06 would have been a good game if it functioned. Silver gameplay would have still sucked but Sonic and Shadow would be fun.

While I’m way past cool you’re all a bunch of RoBUTTnicks

During a Q&A they said that Sonic 3 will possibly have a release in 2024 and they're already in talks with a hollywood actor to play Redacted.  So we can start speculating on who they're talking to.

Frontiers looks really cool....but I wish it didn't heave realistic environments. 

[HD-Man]

If it plays as good as it looks, I'm down. But I generally don't trust 3D Sonic titles these days....hopeful but cautious 

Edited May 31, 2022 by HD-Man

[Sonichuman]

So...I'm kind of worried but still hoping it's good.  Running around the environments with a sense of speed and actual control looks like it'll be awesome.  My concern is coming from the combat as I'm not entirely certain what is going on especially at :19.  WTF is going on in this shot?  Is Sonic doing a weird Spinning Bird Kick? lol.  Since IGN is going to be covering the game all month long I just want some answers on the combat.

Edited May 31, 2022 by Sonichuman

[Hawkingbird]

It has promise. I want this game to be the cherry on top of the great year Sonic has been having. 

[Sonichuman]

Well...Eggman is going to be in the game in someway

Whether he's gonna be the main antagonist or not is still up in the air.

[BornWinner]

 

IGN will provide more gameplay footage tomorrow. 

 

 

[Sonichuman]

Reminder that the premiere gameplay is up.

[BornWinner]

Maybe they gave an unfinished build, maybe the guy playing it is making it boring, maybe it gets more exciting outside this starting area, maybe they just wanted to show off exploration, but man this is looking dull. 
 

The world is so empty and the gameplay itself looks aimless. This gameplay could have really benefitted from some enemies. Animation is also looking pretty  off and I noticed pop-ins as well. I want to remain optimistic, but I’m going to need to see more. Especially if this is aiming for holiday release.

[Sonichuman]

I have thoughts on this.  I just finished watching it in its entirety but I can't comment on it in full right now.  The short of it is I think this game needs to go back in the oven and cook some more.  What they have is intriguing and there's something definitely here but it's missing some oomph.  We might get more of that later this month but my first impressions right now are that if this game releases during holiday season then the best it's going to be is prob meh/mediocre.
