Forgive me Penders for I have sinned. But anyways. I specifically mean the stuff that only appeared in the games, and not the comics and their endless enchiladas.

The whole Penders thing is probably exactly why they haven't touched Echidna stuff since Sonic Chronicles. He threw a legal hissyfit when that game came out that really hosed things up. The game not being any good on top of that certainly didn't help, though.

I think it's more that they just don't give a poo poo about Knuckles as a character. The Master Emerald and his duty as a guardian used to be his motivation but it's pretty clear that after that they saw it as a roadblock to getting him involved to the point where they just refuse to acknowledge it. Plus there was clearly some kind of edict to have as few of Sonic's friends be playable as possible after Sonic 2006 even though Sonic Unleashed really just should've been Sonic & Knuckles Unleashed it was the biggest lay-up ever, Jesus Christ.

Sega being scared of Ken Penders is so hilarious that I want to believe that’s true now.

I suspect the main reason is that since unleashed onwards they've been focusing on just sonic as the playable character and avoiding the wider cast as being more than minor background decoration (presumably in response to criticism about all the extra playstyles), and what's the point in diving into echidna poo poo if Knuckles is just a minor supporting.

Taking that criticism literally was a massive mistake. People weren't sick of Sonic's friends being playable, they were sick of the gameplay being bad. I guess I should want them to figure out Sonic's gameplay before I start asking them to bring the friends back, but geez.

Yeah, the friends shifted from being variations on Sonic’s gameplay to different gameplay entirely. Or just tedious busywork like Heroes forcing you to beat the game four times for the final chapter.

Wait, so one of the samples that is used in Wrapped in Black from Sonic Rush is from Grandia 1? Or do both use the same sample from somewhere? I guess this ain't news for most of you but I only found this out today cause I was listening to Grandia's OST. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlCK5RWO54E&t=11s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBFqSpLvLcI&t=17s

I don't think so, they're different enough that they're not sampled, also the note progression is different enough that I don't think it's an intentional homage on Naganuma's part.

Both of these things are things that a lot of Naganuma samples mess around with so I don't think this is really a good argument. We don't have 100% proof; most of finding the samples comes from correlations of the samples in a sound library that we're sure Sega had, but sometimes Naganuma seems to pull a lot of stuff from other libraries or just directly grabbing them from source (iirc, there's tons of samples so it's hard to remember exactly). Knowing Naganuma it's probably greater than 50% chance he pulled this as he does a lot of his stuff. Btw there's a bunch of videos looking at the samples of Naganuma's stuff but one of them came out recently that I missed so here y'all go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8elNeXc27M

I played it on SMS. It was weird back in the day reading about how frustrated people were with Sonic 2 GG figuring it's the same game, which it is, until I played it and realized the zoomed in camera makes it virtually unplayable.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:One minute movie clip: Animation wise I think this looks great, ESPECIALLY Sonic's face which was one of the biggest failures of the first design. I'm kind of baffled at people that say the redesign still doesn't look. Also I wonder how much Tyson Hesse had on other aspects of the film and its marketing, because it feels like they're going heavy on music, sound effects, and even things like making references to Sonic's smash poses. Like I wonder if all that stuff was still in the movie, just the design of Sonic was monsterous, or if Tyson Hesse also was like "hey you should put these nods from the games into the movie, people will dig it" edit: Also regarding the animation, the hands are just SO much better. It's so important Sonic has his drat gloves on and not the horrible white alien hands they gave him originally

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:That seems to be an official version but weirdly it isn't what we got in the final game: Idk how it works to the exact detail, but basically if you look it up on the official Sonic Rush OST there are the original versions (if you look them up they'll also be called "Digital Remakin' Trax") that are basically the proper versions of the songs. But because they had to go through the DS soundchip, a lot of the stuff changed. That's why the OST has both the original versions at the start of it, and the actual DS versions later. What you posted was the version in the DS, and he posted the original version (CD version). I don't know how common it is, but I think I've seen at least some other handheld official OSTs do this kinda thing before.

My sister got me a signed print from Scott Shaw at SDCC, and he gave Sonic fleshy legs. There's also shading done via hatching, so they look hairy at first glance. It's great because old school Archie would've definitely hosed that up.

Personally I feel like Jim Carrey basically playing Jim Carrey actually kind of fits for this particular role (Robotnik does have a tendency to act like a manchild at times).
