isn't Heroes just the Adventure cast minus the actor for Tails because his voice had gotten too deep

I remember Cream’s VA in Heroes being particularly hard on the ears.

The 4kids cast pretty clearly suffered from some all-time bad direction (as with everything 4kids got its tentacles into), there was some pretty noticeable improvement in Unleashed and Black Knight once they clearly weren't involved anymore. Heroes was severely hit and miss - I really like all of Team Dark's performances, Vector was an absolute delight and it's a shame we only got one game of him, but then you have stuff like Tails and...ugh. Even Drummond, who was...mostly consistent in SA1 and SA2 kinda phoned it in for Heroes. But that's Heroes' atmosphere in general. That whole game just feels like a giant hangover. The feeling that they didn't have their own console anymore, the series might have just peaked with SA2 and they had no idea where to go with it from there absolutely permeates that game. And, uh, every game that followed it for like four years.

Ugh, they'll have gone and replaced Rouge as well, won't they? She did a good job in Forces.

it's funny to me how the "mystery client" in Heroes so obviously sounds like Deem Bristow pitch-shifted up but Team Chaotix are dumbasses so they never notice it.Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Ugh, they'll have gone and replaced Rouge as well, won't they?

Am I the only one who’s kinda sad that Yuji Naka seems to have completely hosed up with Balan? like why does he do this to himself? He had something with potential why can’t he not make a poo poo game

He had something with potential why can’t he not make a poo poo game I feel like having Naka actually direct it was probably the issue, given that his only prior game design/direction credits were Girl's Garden in 1984 and then Chu Chu Rocket. He was always a programmer, and then producer, so if he'd had a producer role on Balan and let someone else direct we might have gotten something decent and novel like the Wii version of Rodea.

balan feels clumsy and unfinished but i don't think I'd call it outright bad. the demo definitely doesn't start with a good impression though, going from the flashy intro to a corn farm is silly and the balan segments are pointless

They should've at least made the costume switching faster if they're gonna tie your ability to jump to wearing certain costumes. Also the fact that you can swap costumes at checkpoints was not signposted well at all, I though they expected me to just run back and forth between levels to transport costumes

A Sonic Mania inspired lego set is in the works They've occasionally changed fan submissions significantly in the final product, but I assume the spirit/basics will be the same.

The bigger problem is it's Naoto Oshima's studio making the game and almost everything they've made over the past twenty years has sucked.

Skeletome posted:I really liked Terra Battle, the mobile game where you had to slide your units around like a puzzle The games they made for/with Hironobu Sakaguchi are the good ones- Blue Dragon, The Last Story, Terra Battle, etc - and people will probably fight you on Blue Dragon. Their platformer/action games peaked with Blinx the Time Sweeper, and that's not the game you want to peak with. EDIT: now that I'm looking it up, their last big 3D action game, and last game not slumming it on Wii/3DS, was Vampire Rain way back in 2007.

Oxyclean posted:A Sonic Mania inspired lego set is in the works I think it's already gone through a bunch of revisions, pretty sure the first version was like 5 years ago, before Mania was announced, and it's been adjusted to tie more into that. Id be interested to see the full story, since possibly making it a Mania toe-in may have come from Sega. Given there was a dimensions set I had assumed that the licencing would be easy, so no idea why it took so long. Side note, the Van Gogh one they also announced looks great too.

It's a fan submission, the Mania tie-in came from the fan who submitted it. Sega wouldn't have had any input yet as the kit wasn't approved until now, any changes Sega wants won't be apparent until the final kit is shown off. It might not have any Mania stuff when the final set comes out, Ideas sets can change quite a bit from the initial fan submission to the official release after a Lego designer has re-worked it. Ship in a bottle fan submission Ship in a bottle final release

Veotax posted:I dunno, but honestly I think the current/outgoing cast is the first time Sonic actually had a good cast. The Adventure era cast was pretty bad for the most part IMO and I never liked the 4Kids cast. The Adventure-era Robotnik was top tier, imo.

Fair, he wasn’t terrible mind you but it’s just that Chalk’s performance always seemed somewhat lackluster to me compared to most of the other Robotniks (but that’s probably more the fault of the writers and directors if anything). Baldry, Pollock, Bristow, and Ohtsuka will always be the best ones in my opinion though (though Cummings and whoever the guy that played him in the dub of the OVA was were decent as well).

I'm playing through Forces again since last week and I'm through the story and just doing all the unlock clothes thing because dress up is best in life and while I am aware this is a Sonic game I kinda resent that Classic Sonic is just there, not being fun and not even having spectacle to make up for it. Like I appreciate to a point that he's probably the cheapest one to make levels for but gently caress if I could cut his whole weird existence out of the game for just one more avatar stages I'd do it in heartbeat. Also I resent that the SOS stuff for the Sonics want me to double back and explore the whole stage looking for the critter capsules or fail the mission and not even get medal xp at the end.

It's very obvious Classic Sonic's presence in the game is a leftover from when it was initially conceived as a completely different kind of game.
