I can't wait to see Jim Carrey trying to do his classic schtick except he's nearly sixty so he can't move too fast and he spend a bunch of the movie sitting down.

fun fact: for many years tommy tallarico had a forums section on his official, personal website. It was a place for all his fans to jerk off about how good and cool he is and you'd get dogpiled if you said anything critical about his music

I feel like you'll never get another reviewer like Tommy again.

Because someone reviewing games that they personally worked on in varying capacities seems like something that goes beyond needing a "Hey I'm friends with the person who made this game/I supported them on Patreon/etc." disclaimer these days.

So I'm a 3D artist in video games, but my educated guess is yes and no. Redesigning a character is a HUGE change and there are absolutely animators/artists who saw that tweet and are now broken. There will be overtime and crunch to land this change by the premiere date. Lots of it.

BUT, there's a group of people meeting now and sketching out how to build the new model to be as close to the original rig (the maquette skeleton used for puppeteering a 3D model) as possible to reuse as much animation as possible. Likely the biggest loss will be in the facial animation, but even that can largely be remapped to the old rig to get them ~60% of the way there. I dunno, it's gonna be rough for a bunch of people, but they're absolutely not throwing away everything and starting from scratch. Also to note: animation isn't finished yet. The shots used for the trailer are done to a point, but I'm sure it was still months away from wrapping animation for the film in general.

I mean, I said as much in that post you dun quoted. Yes, there are a good number of people (artists) who are going to have to kill themselves to make this happen. Depending on where they work, though, they'll possibly get paid overtime for it, at least.

Well poo poo. I think I'd rather just have crappy-looking Sonic than someone working themselves to death to try and salvage his look then.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who had that as their first thought upon hearing this news at least.

if only people had immediately reacted negatively to all the teaser images of sonic they might have had enough warning to change things much much earlier in the process and fix it before it got to this point. Shame that this was a completely unavoidable tragedy

Yeah, but that was a Canadian studio. I'm sure the animators for Sonic will be treated fairly executed for dissent.

Honestly I’d settle for that. The human-like legs are weird, but it’s a sort of weird I can live with. The big problem for me is his face, which looks like it came from the mid-point of a human->Sonic transformation fetish comic.

I prefer the blue arms personally. I mean the alternative is his arms being covered in flesh-colored fur, or just being furless flesh arms. Both are terrible. That being said...

Yeah, I wish they had either kept the gloves or just made his hands blue.

Hwurmp posted:

I haven’t seen one, but one time someone posted a horrifying horse transformation comic in the PYF comics thread and now it’s burned into my memory. Movie Sonic’s face makes me think of that.
