What an awful waste of time, for the most part.
Crush 40 does Spencer Nilsen's "Sonic Boom" at 1hr40 at least, though you can also hear a studio version on one of the CD releases that's already out there.
Sonic 3 is still uncredited, stuck in rights hell, and largely nonexistent.

Why were you so lazy to not include the video and just posted the link?

Anyways the models look fucking weird, reminds me of that old ass Sonic Minecraft mod.

Spoiler: context

The only two custom models for the mod, the rest of the Sonic characters are just regular skins.

But in all honesty, the mod was pretty good, everything other than the Sonic and his friend was pretty cool. (items and the NPCs like Chaos and the Motobugs)

Although it is cool that it's a mashup back (or whatever) and not just a texture pack like the Mario one tho.


Btw on that note, there was a really good Minecraft mod that was released not too long ago named "SoniCraft". it adds a whole new dimension with Sonic stuff and it's pretty cool.

I thought the weirdly short legacy of Sonic Minecraft mods was over with this but I guess it ends with this one, not too sure if it's actually good or better than SoniCraft tho.

Note: yes I know there's alot more Sonic mods out there but I'm talking about the big ones.

Spoiler: (extra) the missing link for Sonic mods

There was a mod made before SoniCraft, there was a pretty mediocre Sonic NPC mod

But its Sonic (and friends) models look a lot better than the official ones.

It was cool how they added SA1 NPCs like Gamma, Beta, and Chaos tho. (Mainly cuz it's meant to be a SA mod I think but still)
View attachment 2285297

Also it was neat that everyone had a unique attacking animation but it again it was only NPCs and there wasn't that much to it compared to the first one.

Btw another thing that brought the mod down was how the maker added his edgy ass anime oc for some reason.

Anyways to end this off here are all the Sonic models standing side by side for comparison.

Note: SoniCraft's Sonic and friends are made to be scale to their actual heights which is why they are so small.

i may like sonic, but minecraft is a hole other level of autism i cant understand.

Some concept art for the upcoming Sonic Prime show was found via an artist's portfolio. More at the link

It's just a cute little sandbox game. The autism mostly comes from the fanbase.

If you mix them together then you get a humming radioactive field of autism.

I gotta hard disagree. The Symphony part I found fantastic especially when they did some orchestral versions of songs like It Doesn't Matter and Press Garden Act 2. That's the stuff I was happily surprised by.

The Ohtani band part I actually didn't like since I'm not a fan of the Sonic Colors Main Theme (The guitar version, not the orchestral version), and the ending. There's something about them that screams shitty dubbed anime opening airing on Cartoon Network at 7 AM and not in a hahafunny way.

The Crush 40 part was fine too, hearing a basically live version of Knight of the Wind and Live and Learn (with the symphony too) was sick as fuck. I get why they did Sonic Boom since everyone was already there, and I'd rather have it then not have it.

All in all for it being free and also being a celebration of Sonic's 30th I thought it was fine. It got me pretty hard in the feels during the Symphony segments and I'm happy everyone got a chance to see it. I think they should have done two different shows though with Ohtani/Crush 40 being seperate since it's not really a whole Symphony show but I get the logic by the end with the two groups playing together.

Honestly between this, the FFXIV Fanfest Live Show, and the Undertale live show I think we're hopefully getting to a progressive point where more games get symphony/piano/orchestra shows and allow access for everyone across the globe for free.

They're gonna make a ton of merch sales and the like regardless so.

The Sonic orchestra has been my favorite part of the anniversary so far. Titanic Monarch sounded so good, it felt like that song was made for orchestra, and it wasn't even in my top ten songs in Mania.

Is there a reason why none of the classic games are on sale during steam's summer sale?

It's interesting because the DX and SA2 steam ports are supposedly notoriously buggy. Sonic CD says it's not on sale but I remember the steam port of that game being 10 dollars last I checked. Maybe they decreased the prices without me noticing? Steam CD is that enhanced port that lets you change the soundtrack and access other shit that wasnt in the original game or the first PC port of CD. Seeing it at the same price as the straight ports is odd to say the least.

Username seems about right, because this guy sounds like he has several mental disorders judging by the way he talks to himself.

DX specifically has gotten more and more buggy and broken each release, the original Dreamcast version didn't even have that infamous Emerald Coast slope glitch.
Cybershell made a good video on it:

They aren't "on sale" because the whole collection is the one that's on sale

All the games are considered DLC for it, so they just decided to use the bundle for the sale instead
Sonic CD isn't part of the bundle so that one's pretty weird

I dare not torture any more souls with that full monstrosity, you despicable bastard.

The only good part of that video is Mexican Tails (and that is still stretching), it just reminds me of Balenaproductions' Sonic Zombies.

From what I remember it's cause CD was done split away from the usual Genesis roundup because Whitehead did the game from the ground up. I think it's some deal involving his production and Sega that if CD is put into a compilation they need to pay Whitehead's company as well so they usually opt out.

Though honestly Whitehead's Sonic CD is so fucking good that it's worth the money on his own, the dude legit added Tails into Sonic CD for fun and it has the option to use the JP soundtrack, which that OST alone is fucking incredible

It's mainly weird that it's not on sale, but for 5 bucks I wouldn't complain either

For some reason I got the desire to replay Forces (with mods that fix the physics of course) and this shit is so bad but I like how you can skip parts of the already small stages like it's SA1 again, that game is such a missed opportunity but it's still pretty fun to mess around with glitches and speedrunning

Yeah if anything I'm happy that we know some of the money goes to Whitehead at least.

Really if they took out the Classic stages and refined the avatar/Sonic ones you'd prob have a pretty okay game since it's using Generations as the base. Not as fun cringe as SA2 but something you could go back to more than Lost World for the pathways and trying out different wisps for speedruns with better physics.

Which is nice that there's still people making mods or stage rehauls for classic Sonic, but it really feels like it WAS gonna be modern/partner until Sega was like "Let's just shove in this little fucker because some guy made a better sonic game than us"

It's just the Sega way to have to rehaul parts of a game because fuck it, we just decided to change it

For years I’ve heard about the alleged abomination that is Shadow the Hedgehog, and I remember a GameStop employee discouraging me from buying it as a kid lol.

Curiosity and individuality got the better of me, so I played through the game’s 10 endings + last story, got A ranks on all missions, and did an expert mode playthrough. Final verdict? Not as bad as people made it seem. The music is decent for most levels, the writing is so bad it’s good, and the core gameplay was just enjoyable enough to keep me interested in the immense replay value the game offered.

Another few months in the oven would have made this one of the better 3D Sonic games. It fascinates me how subversive this game is compared to the typical Sonic games. I will admit that a handful of missions were cheesed thanks to a chaos control glitch, but it was fun to watch Shadow skip over levels and give me free A ranks.

Shadow is an evil talisman which Sega rubs when they want to sell games.

I beat all the stories in a weekend. It's slippery, repetitive. None of it has much depth. Levels are slapped together and ugly to look at. The graphics were outdated, as well.

After Shadow, a kind of Stockholm Syndrome set in. Fans are conditioned to expect a certain product, and Shadow matched up with those expectations. It's a form of entertainment so bad, low-brow and Neanderthal (sorry @Grey_Donovan) that it demands you completely dislodge your brain while playing it.

Shadow taught Sega that they can just wait out criticism.

FANS: It's not that the product isn't good enough; what's making the product shitty is our own jaded views!
