Sonic The Hedgehog Games

[TVB]

Sorry for the double post, can't edit my previous one. They just dropped a new patch for Frontiers that adjusts a lot about the Final Horizon DLC and addresses a bunch of the difficulty/QOL complaints.

I'm 50/50 on this one. Sure, they may have fixed and polished some of the edges here, but it makes me wonder if the DLC might be worth it

... you can just skip ENTIRE chunks of a level. All that level design effort wasted due to the levels themselves being too open to where you can just fly in the air and skip that shit.

Music's pretty catchy though.

It's all free, if that helps. Unless you mean if it matters in the grand scheme of things, in which case I think the tweaks benefit the overall package rather than detract from it (the spindash and physic tweaks especially).

Semi-related, but following the big game announcements yesterday SEGA put out some PR crediting Sonic (as well as Yakuza and Persona) for keeping the company "afloat".

The dubstep is kind of mediocre, although it's an given that the final level would have some effort put into it.

Lol, this Sekiro mod cracks me up.

Who would've guessed?

Maybe they should actually treat the Sonic franchise better than locking its games on Apple Arcade if it's carrying the damn company.

Reminds me of Square locking all their new Final Fantasy games to PlayStation

They're just starting to go back to the "haha we sure do suck, huh? Please love us" thing they had before the 2020 movie came out.

Why are you expecting Sega to do something not retarded? This is the same company that did crazy 0 IQ moves in the mid 90s and destroyed their hardware sector as a result.

At least those come to PC a year later, who knows how long this will be an Apple exclusive.

You'd think they'd wise up a little but that's the one thing they've been consistent with.

Forget the mid-90's, the mid-2010's are proof enough. The Nintendo exclusivity deal in the 2010's turned the Sonic Boom relaunch of the Sonic IP into a disaster by forcing an XBO/PS4 game onto the Wii U, or even the more recent decision to keep funding Hyenas long after the extraction shooter market had matured and become oversaturated.

So consistant I expect yet another "Wha Happun?" video from Fat McMuscles if/when this reboot games schtick blows up in their faces due to their constant micro-managing meddling.

I think even before the August 2017 release of Sonic Mania

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

I respect their continued support of the game, they're really trying to polish it at least.

On the one hand, yeah, that does deserve praise. On the other.....

tell me this doesn't fit Frontiers to a T.

They really don't give a shit about the style of the original do they? who from the og team is involved in this? the coffee guy?

Lol, this Sekiro mod cracks me up.

When a joke mod is better than any game they made in the last 22 years...

I imagine apple paid them a boatload for the exclusivity.

This is the JSR reboot? It looks more like a bootleg made from unity store assets than an actual game.

Hideki Naganuma's involvement is very much an unknown at this point in time, but I'd assume it's unlikely. Perhaps SEGA will tap Ohtani to compose some of the soundtrack.

edit: According to a WaPo piece (disable javascript to bypass paywall), the 'original creators' of the game are working on it.

Utsumi said these legacy series can find second life now that the games industry has a captive global market large enough to sustain Sega’s weirder concepts. Utsumi has firsthand knowledge of testing strange concepts as co-founder of Q Entertainment, a studio behind games that played with the concept of synesthesia and dance music.

“The concept of games like ‘Jet Set Radio’ is advanced. The original creators are involved again, and its time is now,” he said. “It’s a good time where people can appreciate all kinds of concepts.”

There's hope yet that they might contract Naganuma as the main music producer, after they hired Ohshima for Sonic Superstars.

It's not inaccurate lol

Each game they showed has a cheap look. The only series they make that consistently looks like it has a huge budget is Yakuza, so where's all their money going?
