Sonic CD is a skill-check for players that only hold right on the D-pad. Maybe you need some more practice.
Tails X Cyborg resembling that one time he was roboticized in Lost World was a neat touch, otherwise I don't really care about comics.
That’s the most left field thing out there but I’m all for it. I guess that’s what that mysterious slot on the Japanese website is for.
I think the devs needed some more practice. Doing more than holding right on the dpad isn't automatically better.
The latter.
Fuckin' hell, that was nice. The animated shorts for the past 6ish years have all been good (and very much appreciated), but you can tell that SEGA/Sonic Team/SIMAGE Animation are really proud of this.
I haven't been following along with this franchise for a while, I saw this short today and holy shit, I'm impressed. I thought they got the guys from MAPPA (studio that did Jujutsu Kaisen and a bunch of other very well animated action anime), turns out they got an indie studio whose most recent portfolio includes the new TMNT show. Really well done, hope the studio goes far.
Trust SEGA to find as many ways possible to cheap out on the animation when it comes to Sonic. Similar to how they tapped OuiDo to make Boom after they'd produced a Alvin & Chipmunks series.
The animation ended up looking better than I thought it would. I was a little worried when I saw that the short was going to be using CGI, but I'm impressed by what I'm seeing so far.
IIRC it was only sonic that they made that shit that for. Everyone around him is fair game so you can have that weird brief subplot of the bootleg chaos alien literally who species that were reincarnated as the little funny shitnugget creatures you need to collect where you need to reunite the lovers and then they fuck off and die on the spot. Removal of the running gag of amy showing romantic feelings for sonic seems less a no romance thing more a "modern audience/girlboss attempt" thing. Saw a comment about t somewhere a few months ago from someone rambling about games and shit that she's just gone from an actual character that's the" funny/annoying but nice at the end of the day one" to just "sonics friend no. 4". Removing the goofy socially unacceptable weirdo aspects is kind of like removing tails' importance as anything other than the exposition machine or knuckles' matter of fact reasoning. wait, they already did that nevermind carry on.
Maybe the mandates are being slowly, quietly lifted? Just a theory of course, but SEGA's been back-backtracking on a lot of continuity and canon. We're back to having one world, Classic Sonic from Gens is back to being just younger Sonic, among other things. It's absolutely wishful thinking, but I wonder if the movies having their own take on the characters and universe has gotten SEGA to reconsider some of the guidelines put in place.
As long as they don't make Knuckles a dumbass anymore, I'm good.
