Oooh, that's good!
That's bad. (your mileage may vary depending on who's there, of course)
That's good.
That's bad. OH THE HORROR. I can only imagine how terrible the end result of this can be...
Well, if anyone goes, let us know how the event is... and especially how it plays (ie: floaty jumping, platforming, coming uncurled, etc).

Yeah that's kinda surprising. Sonic games have usually been Summer releases.DeVeAn said:
They want feedback from fans, hence why they're doing this Community Day thing in June. Releasing Generations in June wouldn't give them enough time to properly address any complaints. Besides, most major Sonic games release in the Fall anyway (Sonic '06, Unleashed, Colors, etc.).

America is really sensitive to nipples, so of course we don't get to see under his gloves.

I think listening too much to the fans can be a dangerous thing too, and usually feel it's best for developers to make their decisions. Especially given how insane the Sonic fanbase can be. However, Sonic Team hasn't exactly proven themselves trustworthy when it comes to making their own choices (lol Black Knight), so maybe they're better off this way.
Besides, I'm sure most of the request will be very predictable. "Wah wah, hot-keyed Spin Dash, wah wah, make my favorite character playable, wah wah GREEN EYES!"

I'm sure it's been in the Archie comic at some point, but in terms of Sega, I wonder if they ever decided for sure if the spikes were just on his gloves, or part of his hands.

It would suck to be a hardcore Sonic merchandise collector. If you ever came across those ice creams again or those soup cans...how would you "preserve" them and put them on display at the same time?

Honestly I see this feedback session working out better than Sonic 4's supposedly (but probably not) fan-driven development. I mean, stuff like the hot buttoned spin dash (the main issue I'm seeing for Classic Sonic) is lightyears away from the criticisms fans had already managed to bring up from only seeing 3-seconds of footage for Sonic 4 (not that by the time the game released those complaints were more often then not fully justified).
Interesting in that interview they found converting 3D levels to 2D harder than the opposite. How many levels in Sonic Adventure and onwards have been centered around gimmicks that were made with three-dimensions in mind? I can only think of the truck in City Escape, and that could easily be replicated in 2D (as it probably will be). Either way, while I'll probably prefer classic Sonic, I'm looking forward to see how the classic stages play in three-dimensions with modern Sonic.

Posting ANY pics in a Sonic thread is a dangerous, dangerous idea.

Speaking of dressing up and nostalgic Sonic merchandise...
I remember for Halloween (back when I was, like, five, so spare me!) I got this extremely cheap Sonic costume...it was just half a Sonic-mask (so it was basically just his eyebrows and ears) with a white t-shirt with a picture of Sonic running along Green Hill Zone.
In retrospect, I'm glad that the cheapness of that costume disheartened me so much that I never dressed up as Sonic again. 0.o

Holy crap they changed them to green? And no, it's still around. I know the ice cream trucks I've seen around the beaches in Vancouver still have them. And I saw it on the poster outside some shop with ice cream downtown Toronto just last weekend.Dark Schala said:
Mind you, when I used to get these from the ice cream truck, they had black eyes instead of green (it was the early-to-mid 1990s, after all). And I think the eyes were always, always off-kilter. They tasted gooooooooooood. I miss having them. Not sure where you can find them in Canada at all.

Meowth, that's half-right! The other half came from the Simpsons episode with the Krusty doll and cursed frogurt and potassium benzoate.
Oh really? I'll have to do some hunting in Toronto, then! I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but I've been craving one of those Sonic ice creams since it got warm around here.Firestorm said:
Perhaps they'll give us a downloadable version of the demo that they're showcasing at their event to coincide with Sonic's 20th Anniversary? (This is me being incredibly optimistic, however.) I think this Community Event might be a good thing, but if they listen to the fans TOO much, it could spell disaster.DeVeAn said:

I've seen one with Tails bare feet as well. They officially don't have toes. They do in the comic cannon, but in the official games, no toes. Weird.

All that running has rubbed down their feet to smooth nubs.

The worst part about that is that I never noticed that she was in a bikini. I thought she was fully clothed under the towel.Professor Beef said:
The hilarious part is that it's official art!
Edit: I miss this kind of official art. Sonic looks annoyed.

Oh, wait, you're right. I guess I should be concerned more about the clothing choices of Sonic characters...
OH GOD, Where are his pants? He can't just trot around like that... FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS DECENT.
That reminds me, I've had this site, the Sonic Art Archive, buried in my bookmarks for a while now. Kind of old, hasn't been updated since 2007 -- so nothing from beyond Secret Rings or so -- but it's still a neat repository of a lot of the official art from over the years.

That looks ridiculously nice. I hope it stays that way in the final version. It probably won't.ShadiWulf said:
But look at that huge scale and the backgrounds. I like the water. Gorgeous.
I really need to see this in full motion (outside of gameplay snippets in an interview) and feel it myself before getting more hyped for it.
