there is a sonic olympics arcade game where you actually run on a pad and jump over hurdles and shit and every time I get drunk at the barcade near me when I get sick of drunk driving in crazy taxi for like 4 hours I play it non stop it’s so fun.

I played that once, a single game lasts for a long-ass time. I think I played for about 15-20 minutes before finally getting a game over, and I didn’t even make it to the end.

There is a lot of good stuff in Shadow's game (like the route system), but it's let down by the slippery controls and the need to complete the game ten times in order to get to Last Story.

I’ve been meaning to play Shadow the Hedgehog Reloaded. Can anyone here vouch for it?

I'm gonna need a reminder of why Udon is so terrible, as I can't for the life of me remember why. Surprised Flynn didn't know though after begging to get in. You would think a guy who tries to pander so hard to the fandoms would be more aware of what's going to get some very negative attention from them.

Axtyqlly, Udon's great. They're the only ones who're keeping Darkstalkers alive through their comic line, and as for Flynn... The Udon fandom hates him, and one of the head Udon guys said point-blank that if IDW goes under, he's blacklisting Flynn.

That kinda puts Flynn's begging into context if you think about it.

I played it literally last week. it's interesting because the balance is super weird it's both much better and much worse in places. I know this isn't a glowing recommendation but it makes a flawed game still flawed, but in totally different ways. it's worth checking out if you don't hate that game already, like me. if you do hate the game it won't change your mind. it will just make it more tolerable in ways.

The blacklist threat is crazy, what the fuck did he do to sink business relationships with Udon that badly?

Nothing yet. This was back when Flynn was the only writer for IDW Sonic. The head of Udon just isn't a fan of Flynn as a writer, and if Flynn keeps pestering the Udon staff, that'll extend to Flynn as a person as well.

Simply put, the man is on thin ice as is, and his response was to risk making everything worse for him in the delusional belief that his sycophantic fanbase will vouch for him, and cover for everything he does. Even if he DOES somehow get in, Udon won't take kindly to being thrown under the bus like Sega did.

OMFG, I feel like the Farms have to play catch-up with the Ian Flynn drama...

Okay, so part of why Flynn is kinda infamous among the Archie/SatAM crowd was cuz literally every issue people took umbrage with, from lowkey shipping Sally with Nicole, to having the Unleashed adaptation taking too long, to pretty much most of the IDW Sonic comic's issues, like Sonic's sudden Batman dilemma, the Zombot arc, and so on, he always, ALWAYS blamed Sega for something. From how Shadow was written, to the fact that the Freedom Fighters couldn't return despite a court record proving that Sega owned the FF, and thus, it was okay to use them, Flynn just won't, to why Starline's death resulted in Surge never getting closure for what happened to her. Every time this is brought up in his Bumblekasts, or his social media, Flynn would always be sure to pass the buck to Sega.

Granted, executive meddling sucks all kinds of eggs, but no company is THAT consistant with it. That is what started raising alarm bells to the likes of the SatAM/Archie fandom, and got them into investigating, and questioning his statements. Unfortunately, as i'm sure everyone in this thread knows by now, Flynn's fanbase is borderline cult-like in their loyalty to him to the point of mouthing off like that guy who wanted to shoot non-IDW fans. Yeah, that fucker's just a taste of what the Flynn crowd is like toward non-IDW fans.

As it stands now, the meme of the Sonic fandom being a warzone is quite true. There's the Archie/SatAM side, who are determined to uncover the truth behind the corperate culture within Sega, and discover of the infamous Sega mandates are real, as Flynn claims.

Then, there are the IDW/Flynn crowd, who have an elitist view towards anything that isn't the curremt Sonic project, or anything not made by Ian Flynn, to the point of sperging out like you saw earlier. After years of their enemies trying to uncover the truth, they've done everything in their power, from gaslighting, to the aformentioned death threats against anyone wanting to look into things. They are THAT determined to maintain the status quo, even if doing so kicks everyone else out of the fandom despite being there first.

Sonic games are more interesting as experimental projects from technical and gameplay perspectives than actual gamers themselves. Example: Sonic R was originally a Formula 1 racer, which explains the faulty handling. Sega needed a game for their Saturn, so Traveler's Tales was rushed TO make a Sonic game with existing assets.

Listened to a podcast that TJ Davis was the guest star on. She is very cool. Talked about how she got the gig and ended up working with Richard Jacques on the music for the game. Yes she's a Sonic fan to this very day.

If SEGA were smart they'd get the two of them to do the end credits theme for Sonic 3 or the inevitable Sonic 4 movie. It would be both a shout out to Sonic R but gamers of that era in general.

Well, yes, but people mostly took umbrage with his Reboot/IDW stuff. His pre-reboot stuff is actually pretty good.

Yeah I had noticed a difference in how he wrote then and now. You think the popularity got to his head?

Edit: I just think he's better fixing what came before rather than doing original stuff.
 
I don't care what anybody says. Sonic games are best known for their music, not their speed. Sonic 06 has the best soundtrack in a Sonic game yet. It should've won an award for THAT.
 
@Mossy Trash Panda
With how fanatical and loyal to Flynn the average IDWfag seems to be, I have to wonder what the response will be if he gets let go and the IDW comic ends up being cancelled. I expect massive chimpouts on a level similar to vid related:
Some IDWfag screaming about how only Ian Flynn understands Sonic and how IDW's cancellation is just more proof that SATAM and Archie are literally the worst things ever! I wouldn't be surprised if it escalates to some messed up shit like them bragging about how they constantly goon to Sally Acorn gore to spite SATAM/Archie "Chuds".

Damn didn't realize he was still passing the buck like that. I stopped paying that much attention to him early on in the IDW run. I don't doubt there were restrictions while the lawsuit was going on and Flynn had to be really careful about what he was doing, but continuously passing the buck sounds like he just got too comfortable shifting the blame to Sega whenever he started getting pressure. Or going by his blocking spree, dude is a baby who can't handle criticism and Sega is a convenient target since he had already planted those seeds in the Archie days.

True, the general consensus when I used to follow the Sonic comics before IDW got it was that Flynn worked better in a pre-established sandbox. There was a noticeable drop in quality post-Genesis Wave, granted some of that wasn't his fault since the lawsuit forced him to scrap so much shit he had planned, but still.

No one is gonna fight you on that. If there's one thing the fans and haters can agree on, it's that the Sonic franchise has some top tier music.

Idgaf the ancient ruins theme in Sonic 06 with the wail is iconic. But then so is the one from Sonic Adventure.

Here's the interviews


 
Since it was mentioned, I honestly do wonder if sega's interest and expansion to more media like movies and tv shows will lead or contribute to idw's cancellation as a replacement
I'm not sure how well the comics sell but I do hear that IDW is bleeding money apparently with layoffs and having to give up a lot of their licenses for IPs as comics are not the most popular thing anymore for many reasons and I doubt they sell great compared to the games or anything else, so it makes me wonder if there will be a point where they'll be canned in exchange to make something else
might also explain why they consider it canon, likely don't expect it to last so long and when it does end they have even more beloved characters they can likely not do anything with but that final point is just me with a tinfoil hat

Wasn't it stated early into the IDW run that SEGA owns all the comic's contents this time around, so if IDW goes under they could just take the same creative team to a different publisher and carry on as usual?
