As far as I know, Lego hasn't made a Sonic set so the first place to get a Sonic Minifig would be the Lego Dimensions set which comes out November 18.

Discendo Vox posted:LEGO's writing game is top notch. I've got a thing for 100%ing their games on steam, and the DC lego games have become progressively and simultaneously more in-depth, nerdy, and horribly self-aware. The latest batman one lets you unlock Kevin Smith (voiced by Kevin Smith) by beating missions where you direct bad superhero extended universe movies. You can also unlock Zebra Batman and Frank Miller Batman (who is much larger than the other Batmans and can't do anything but smash things). Also they had the cast of The Force Awakens record new dialogue for the Lego game. I'm pretty sure that it's the only time Harrison Ford has recorded original voice work for a video game.

I'm considering getting Mania on the Switch instead, I currently have a pre-order in the stupid CE for PS4 but I recently had a clear-out and re-arranged my bedroom, I don't really have anywhere to put dumb video game statues anymore.

I want to say that Generations was six or seven levels (each with two acts, classic and modern) and a handful of bosses.

Also, with pre-orders up we know the price. £14.99 in the UK, that's cheaper than I was expecting. I thought it would be £20 minimum, probably £25

It's a drat shame the comic is probably cancelled. I didn't grow up reading the Archie comics (we had our own entirely separate Sonic comics in the UK) but I've been reading them since the reboot and really enjoying them.

Gammatron 64 posted:Fun embarrassing fact about me: the first time I ever posted on an internet forum, it was on Sonic Fan Games HQ in like 1998 or whatever. I've actually talked to the Taxman and Stealth like 20 years ago but I doubt they'd remember me. I was a little kid trying to make garbage games in The Games Factory. SonicCult was the first forum that I really hung around on, I'm pretty sure that Stealth used to post there often. I actually changed my handle because of Taxman. I used to go by The_Tax_Man but people kept thinking I was Taxman so I eventually changed it to Veovis (a character from one of the Myst books I was reading at the time) but the unoriginality of it got to me so I changed it again to Veotax, apparently I'm the only person on the internet who goes by that so I managed to stumble into a unique name.

I'm picking the Mania up on Switch for portability (especially since I have a vacation the week after release) but I'm making the move to 4K so I might double-dip on PS4 if the Pro version is good.

Hitlersaurus Christ posted:Yeah the comics were a fun read but so far there’s essentially no story. It’s 90% just Sonic and friends blowing up robots and making one liners. It’s basically one big introduction issue split into 4 chapters. That's probably why the first four issues were weekly, would have been a real drag for the first four months of the comic. Looks like the story is actually starting in the next issue

Also probably in the comics from time to time. I'm not sure if it's ever been in the games, but it's definitely penetrated ancillary media.

I loved how informative it was about British comics in general, I only ever read StC and The Beano so I don't know much about 2000AD and other comics of the time so it was great getting some context. The editing was entertaining as hell too, loved the music cutting in and out during the charts. Keep it up, this is one staying on my playlist.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Fleetway Robotnik was the best, he was absolutely giant and looked like he ate babies for breakfast. I loved the absolute way they didn't give a poo poo when they 'adapted' the Sonic Adventure design, he just put on a new coat rather than making him look like the Adventure Eggman.  Of course, the Adventure adaption was the last story they did prior to going into eternal re-runs until it was finally cancelled so they probably didn't give much of a poo poo about doing a faithful adaption. That story had almost nothing to do with Adventure other than having Chaos (who was nothing like the game version other than being a water monster that wanted the Chaos Emeralds and sonic takes a trip into the past and meets the ancient Echidnas (and Knuckles was there, implying that he gets thrown into the future or goes into stasis or something eventually).

Twerk from Home posted:loving hell. I’ve got to read this comic. Is it on any subscription service? Nope, pre-reboot Archie Sonic isn't available anywhere anymore I think after Ken Penders succeeded in suing for the rights to the characters her created for the comic, because Archie is incompetent. Post-reboot Archie Sonic is still available even though they lost the Sonic license. EDIT: No wait, I was wrong. Looks like Archie Sonic isn't on Comixology at all anymore.

I thought the whole metal virus story line dragged on a bit too long, but I'm enjoining it. The Tangle & Whisper and Bad Guys mini series are good too.

As someone who read the UK comic as a kid and not Archie I really enjoyed reboot Archie and I was sad to see it and it's characters go when Sega pulled the license. I've been enjoying the IDW comic and it's new characters, though I think the Metal Virus arc went on a bit long.

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.

New Frame Plus, a Youtube channel about game animation has done a deep dive (almost two hours) on Sonic animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxCcHOvSVJQ Some takeaways: modern Sonic design proportions are actually a bit animation un-friendly and Sonic Boom actually had some of the best animation in the series (shame about everything else about that game, though).
