Ventana posted:On the one hand, it's cool to see the Lightning power come back from Lost World 3DS, but on the other I'm a bit sad it gets relegated to the Light Speed Dash/Hover wisp power. It was originally one of the cool unique things that game did, even though the Avatar grappling hook replaces that function now. How about Billboard?

The wisps stuff is a bit weird because different versions of colors have different plots that entail different things about wisps and how they work. It's a bit like unleashed in that regard, where it seems like the truth is some sort of amalgam of all of the versions.

The stuff about Wisps sticking around and being okay with lending their powers comes from Runners, not any version of Colors

It used the same cutscenes at least. Also it's been a long time but I think the only differences in the Colors DS story were the wisps having a queen and the other characters being there. Either way according to Runners the DS version is canon, for whatever that's worth.

I thought it was just putting a ridiculously out of place organization's name in the Sega font but I guess it was comparing a game company to terrorists via font choice, somehow.

NIDS, surely.Hitlersaurus Christ posted:Didn't Unleashed have the same story in both games? It used the same cutscenes at least. It was way less significant in unleashed. In both games, it seems they split the endboss elements between the consoles. With unleashed, there are literal gaps in terms of what happens to/with Dark Gaia in the fight because some parts (cutscenes showing phase transitions and all) were only used on one or another console. I don't remember the details as well, but iirc one did the "fuse with temple Punch-out" bit and had one set of parallel navigation fights, and the other had a super sonic fight and a differently staged parallel navigation. Something along those lines. With colors it's the question of the corrupted wisp mother and whether she appears at all or not, or if eggman's plot has any kind of denouement.

Something along those lines. The HD versions of the Dark Gaia fights were showing Sonic/Light Gaia/Super Sonic traveling up to the boss, and when they got close there'd be some sort of QTEs for some resolving action. In the SD versions, the good guys start off close up in Dark Gaia's face w/o any traveling or transition or explanation, but the QTE segments are replaced entirely with proper sequences with their own mechanics. When you pair them together, it looks like HD version shows HOW Sonic got to the boss, into the SD version which shows WHAT the fights really were when close. Someone made an old video putting them together in one big segment so you can see how they'd fit. It has (the same) cutscenes so you'll need to skip around, but it lines up mostly well. They cut out the SD versions of the "Sonic running down Light Gaia" segments, but those are virtually identical to the HD versions actually so you don't miss anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjV2KQw-jvY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naawrFmu3F0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-8uc02Uux8 Hitlersaurus Christ posted:Also it's been a long time but I think the only differences in the Colors DS story were the wisps having a queen and the other characters being there. Either way according to Runners the DS version is canon, for whatever that's worth. This is unrelated to Wisp chat, but Colors DS also had the typical cast of Sonic's friends appear individually for the missions. It's kinda funny since they (seem to?) use Blaze from the Rush games and Silver from the Rivals games and have them pal around in Sweet Mountain. While being a cute reference, it directly brings to mind the Eggman Nega fuckery that Sonic Team can't seem to settle on. Ventana fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 18, 2017 |

Schwarzwald posted:I understand that I'm a little behind everyone else, probably, but I just finished Sonic Mania with all seven chaos emeralds and did Sonic just loving blow up Little Planet? According to the manual in CD, the Little Planet appears 1 month out of every year and then just goes back to where it came from afterwards, which is why Eggman anchored it down in that game. The planet lives in some sort of pocket dimension. I think in Mania, Eggman was using the ruby's power to pull it out of wherever it goes 11 out of 12 months and started flying the thing around like he would have done with any of his other countless space stations, that's why it's on Angel Island at the end. When Sonic wins it just goes back into wherever it comes from. That's a lot of bullshit conjecture and me filling in blanks but that's my best guess as to the story

As repetitive as the official sonic character designs* are, they're pretty good about certain things, like not separating the hair on the head by making it a different color or drawing it separate from the head like a wig. Archie did that and it made a lot of their characters more "furry" than "funny animal". *Honey the Cat is NOT canon, my uncle works for SEGA and can confirm this.

havent gamed in so long decided to play some sonic mania to tide me over. My deathless knux playthrough is ruined because of the bullshit blocks that move in LRZ causing me to get pixel crushed. and another thing i confirmed whether you have to keep holding a direction when running on a roof and i was right, you just keep holding whatever direction you were holding.

I actually haven't done that yet... I got distracted finally getting around to 100%ing Sonic Adventure DX. Stocked up a bunch of lives while farming chao animals 'cause I knew I'd need them for mission 53, since I tried it probably a hundred times before giving up last time... then I nailed it first try.

It was supposed to be a brief non-sequitor before the dumb gameplay mode I was trying to show, but it clearly came off more edgy and mean spirited than I had intended. I've changed it back to the original original "MONSANTO" text I had before in the game.

Though, she was from Sonic X-Treme and we all know how that game took the world by storm when it came out. I mostly just mention her as an excuse to laugh about her name. Seriously, who thought naming a love interest character Boobowski was a good idea!? Edit: Vanilla also has a tuft of hair, but it's one of her body colors. Chip has one too, but gently caress Chip.

I wish the babylon rogues would appear more. They don't even need a story role, just have them on TV in the background of a city level doing some racing or advertising chao cola or whatever.

I've always hated their designs, though they're not any more odious than most of the c list sonic friends. I think it might be the color scheme and the general shape of the big silver one that gets under my skin

The character design tendency is gendered; female characters were and are male characters with hair, a bow, a dress...
