one of Eggman's memos references the United Federation (off-brand USA from SA2/Shadow) and even Donpa from Team Sonic Racing. They're really going for "everything's canon now" and I'm totally on board with it. EDIT: Another one references Black Arms and the Babylonians too. this owns lmao Augus fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Nov 10, 2022 |

I believe Riders gets mentioned at some point as well (in fact I think about the only game that doesn’t get a nod of some kind is Chronicles)

Yeah Sonic muses about how it's kinda like when they came across Babylon and wonders how Jet's doing He also wonders how Zavok is doing and then adds "terribly, I hope, heh."

When I reached the first cutscene that showed who the ancients looked like I poo poo my pants so hard it blasted me through the roof. I am seriously looking forward to Sonic going forward if Sega are actually exploring this side of the lore now.

Speaking of, given the design of the Ancients is Chaos (who I now assume was likely the last surviving member) ever brought up directly at some point?

You first see them pretty early in the game (as in the first island) but fair enough, fixed. Sorry

So far Island 3 seems to way too many 2D sections. The 2D gameplay is not this game's strength and accidentally stepping over the wrong camera trigger while exploring and getting locked into a 2D section doesn't feel good at all. Even weirder is that they put collectibles like purple coins in the background in some of these 2D sections, and so the challenge to reach these collectibles is to find a way to get back to that structure you ran across without being locked into 2D. Or in another 2D section, if you fell off a platform you got stuck between a wall and a bottomless pit because of the way these 2D sections are slotted into open 3D environments, and the way to escape is to make a leap of faith to the right over the bottomless pit so that the game will put you back into 3D while you're over the bottomless pit, and then you'll be able to steer Sonic back towards safe ground. I think this is the part where they started to run out of time.

Any recommendations for PC settings? The game at standard high settings looks past gen at best. The tutorial where it shows Sonic and the rain fall is basically flashing static trying to simulate water.

Oh man these "parry X bullets!" missions make it really obvious that making parrying not require any timing at all was a last minute change. They all have different numbers of shots fired with different timings and none of it matters because you can just hold the bumpers and automatically win.

Just finished Island 2. The game has its Hank, and some traversal and design issues, but when it hits, the vibes are immaculate.

Everything about this, from its melodramatic lore-filled plot to its vaguely asset-store visuals and cutscenes that are mostly just two characters standing still and talking to its hugely ambitious format that tries to hit as many Sonic fan expectations and requests as possible to some of the voices sounding vaguely off... it all just feels like the most impressive 3D Sonic fangame ever. It very rarely feels like a professional high-budget product for consoles in 2022, but it does feel like it was put together by a very dedicated small team who mostly communicate via Discord over a decade or so. I dig it a lot, but more than anything I want to see this iterated on with more style.

I hate the cyberspace boost you hear the sfx like he's supposed to be zooming but he only goes like a tiny baby fraction bit faster and I frequently tap it a couple times to make sure it's on Why is it even a thing here!!

A pity you never get an upgrade that allows you to hurt enemies with it like in the other boost games though Also does beating the game unlock anything besides Arcade Mode (also can you refight the final boss and/or view the cutscenes again if you want)?
