Look on the bright side.



I wonder if there will be a game to go with those remixes.:thunk:

Sonic Team has finally stopped pretending their games were anything more than soundtrack delivery services and will now just put out albums.

Them continuing to engage Tee Lopes outside of the Mania stuff is only a good sign.

I want to hope it is a SA remake, but it probably isn't. Then again, if the other remixes are also from SA...

The existing Dreamcast ports aren't available on Switch or PS4 and are only on Xbox One through backwards compatibility.That's likely a quick port job and why not have Tee Lopes remix a couple tracks to sell it?

Problem with SADX being on anything but PC is that you can't mod it to not look like total dogshit.

if any of you get SADX on Steam make sure to download Better SADX
Also the Dreamcast restoration add-ons because SADX kinda looks like poo poo compared to the original

The official sonic stream says that's going to be the only Sonic Adventure 1/2 song remixed.

These remixes they're teasing were probably made for the new Mario & Sonic game, I'm guessing.

It’s probably because his dimensions work better for the game, but interesting they used Classic Sonic for this.

So the new Sonic design from the upcoming movie has supposedly been leaked:





Still not great but a slight improvement at the very least.

To be honest I was always kinda surprised they never made a Super-Monkey-Ball gameplay Sonic spinoff game where rather than being in a ball he's just rolled up the whole time, seemed to be a good fit. Guess this is halfway there.

I’m clueless on animation, but they could have changed the model’s design while keeping the “skeleton” the same so they wouldn’t have to go through and redo all of his animation for the movie. This has the benefit of saving looooads of time, just tweaking stuff that looks bad, while having the price of limiting just how much you can change the design since deviating too far will gently caress with the animation.

And this isn’t just animation, but acting. If you give Sonic his normal skinny noodle arms, it’ll look weird if someone grabs him but their hands never close around his arm because the actor had used a prop or stand-in for something with the size of the original model.

Well he slightly resembles game sonic now, which is an improvement, but he also still looks like a weird little gremlin.

That's pretty much what I expected, so while a full redesign would have been better, as a quick fix I'm happy with that.

Oh yeah, it would've been impossible on a practical level to change the basic proportions and layout of the model for the re-do given how far along they were. Given that constraint this is about the best they could probably do.

At least Nintendo is wising up and gonna make their second attempt at a big Mario movie animated.

Hard to make a complete judgment until you see his mouth move, which was by far the worst part of the original, but that aside, I'm fine with this.

What do you mean not great? It just looks like Sonic now.

Fair enough, nevermind that (he just looked slightly weird from the front to me). Like has been said, for a rush job this is probably the best they could do. No guarantee the movie will be good but Sonic at least looks a lot more like himself now.

Ironically, I feel like these endless voids full of setpieces would be most fun for Adventure style hunt levels. Making them fun to explore instead of obtuse basically seems like it'd solve the main problem those levels have.

Sonic 3D Blast had some cool tunes. I'm a huge fan of Volcano Valley A2.

Not Sonic Blast but the start of FB Act 2 is still so loving cool.
