Yep, I'm gonna remove that foot from my mouth.
Two secs.
Sonic the Comic was better than that Titan Tails crap though.

Firestorm said:Sonic taking itself seriously in the comics was good. I can definitely live with that. I'm okay with it going the Super Mario RPG route. What I don't want to see is it going the Paper Mario route. I'm sorry, but the Paper Mario games aren't good. The humour is not funny.
Amir0x said:i think "good" here is a modified standard based on how videogame comics are so bad, they often create a blackhole in time and space. So one that doesn't do that may be confused for quality, but, if you actually read genuinely good comics you would laugh yourself to death.
Of course, you hate Paper Mario so I suppose Sonic comics might be the inker equivalent of Perdido Street Station.
nah it doesn'tAmir0x said:i will avoid an attempt at personal insulting here and simply say, in that case:

I think my argument continues to hold up
Firestorm said:I meant good enough for a video game story. I'd read a real comic, but I don't feel like catching up on 500 issues of Spider-man or what have you. The story in the Sonic comics is above and beyond anything found in any current Sonic game.

Amir0x said:Fuck Spider-man. Spider-Man comics suck!
People still think cheesy marvel and dc superheroes are the only things that make comics -_-
Amir0x said:Well if he isn't saying it, I am. Sonic can't take itself seriously. That ain't wasting potential, that's avoiding a future filled with geeks legitimately concerned about Sonic and his furry friends continuity.
I think it's safe to say I have the best interest of everyone in mind here.
loosus said:That's because THEY ARE FOR KIDS, not you. Honestly, the fact that you call kids "dumb" over this shows your immaturity and inability to realize that just because you don't like something doesn't make someone else "dumb."
Penguin said:Don't worry.
Be happy.!
Firestorm said:Ok Amir0x I'll look into those if I ever get the chance and time.
Amir0x said:ok but if you do, just for the record, the Animal Man you want is a very small run written by MORRISON, and the Starman comic should be the 80 issue Tony Harris run that's been collected.
Penguin said:No Y: The Last Man or Walking Dead?
More of a superhero comics guy myself, but those are great as well.
May need to check out Powers.
I didn't know they changed writers. I was wondering why the books felt so different.Rlan said:I'll go right into super duper Sonic-nerd territory here, but the Sonic comic has come a LONG way since the shit like "Titan Tails". Ken Penders - the long time writer who seemingly lost his mind in the final years of his run - is gone, and in his place is Ian Flynn - aka an actual fan of the Sonic games and Sonic in general, who realises what readers actually want to see.
Himuro said:Sonic um..is a freedom fighter in the Genesis games. That's the entire theme and point. God you had shit taste as a kid.
Well if it came on between Batman and Freakazoid, I forgive you.avatar299 said:I didn't really watch SaTam(It came on between Batman and Freakazoid, sue me) but I appreciate any kids show that tries to treat children as if they have brains. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog just felt insulting in comparison.
Himuro said:Uhhhh.
My Sonic comics I made when I was a kid > these Sonic comics.
100% wrongHimuro said:Sonic um..is a freedom fighter in the Genesis games. That's the entire theme and point. God you had shit taste as a kid.
"most of the high-quality handheld stuff is coming out of Japan. There isn't a lot of North American AAA handheld development going on." They viewed this as an opportunity for them.
Himuro said:Nope!
:lol :lolBradVanDam said:AMY FUCKIN ROSE BETTER NOT BE IN AT AS SONIC HAD SEX WITH A HUMAN RIGHT INF RONT OF AMY FREAKIN ROSE
Himuro said:Sonic wasn't a freedom fighter but it still always had a similar premise to me. It didn't seem that far off, to be honest. Like I said in an earlier post, Robotnik takes over Sonic's home, turns his friends into robots, and it's up to Sonic (and a few other animals) to save their friends and home from Robotinik. The cartoon was very similar to this.
What was the story in the Japanese game manuals?

Y2Kev said::lol :lol
RIGHT IN FRONT OF AMY FRIGGIN ROSE
Himuro said:AMY ROSE IS OUT FOR BLOOD :lol
Crushed said:i am missing something here
Himuro said:Sonic does not deserve to be in Smash Bros since he brings a shame to gaming. The reason being HE CHEATED ON AMY FUCKING ROSE.
Me and Kev were just chatting and have come to the conclusion that Sonic Chronicles will be about Amy Rose's revenge on Sonic.
ethelred said:Okay, having gone through and read the full article, I think the original poster did a very nice job. But here's some additional info that stood out to me:
they say there are people who won't be happy that this isn't going to provide the absolute fastest Sonic experience, as it's an RPG. But they say there are other Sonic games that do that, and their interest here is to still incorporate speed wherever it makes sense; they say it's really a combination of both BioWare and Sonic and they want to please fans of both.
they joked that they're looking to raise Big's IQ a few points
unlike most 2D RPGs, which use tile-based patterns for the environments, Sonic Chronicles' backgrounds are drawn entirely by hand. They did this because they wanted to try to bring back the series' "classic style."
shoes will be a big part of Sonic's equipment that you purchase via rings at shops. Examples given are shoes that increase his speed, or give him fire attacks.
the reason they have battle actions happen after you select actions for all party members is to give the battles a greater sense of speed as everything plays out. some characters will be able to perform multiple actions in a round, leading to "impressively frenetic battle sequences."
again, the idea with the battles is, you have strategic thinking by turn-based input, but it will be "presented very quickly." "You see Sonic moving the way he should be moving."
the reason they added real time active elements to the turn-based system is to keep the player engaged. They stated that Final Fantasy, even with its "speculator animations," disengages the play because there's no interaction.
as you improve your characters, you get new field map abilities as well as battle moves. This will allow you to access new areas on the maps. It will encourage you not just to stick to your favorite characters; each one has unique abilities to offer.
they don't just want to use preexisting Sonic story stuff. They want to leave the BioWare mark by creating new characters, new locations. But it will feel like it builds on the franchise rather than is tacked on.
Muzyka has a Genesis signed by Yuji Naka.
the project got started because Muzyka and Zeschuk knew Sega of America president Simon Jeffery from when he was at LucasArts and they were doing KotOR.
"most of the high-quality handheld stuff is coming out of Japan. There isn't a lot of North American AAA handheld development going on." They viewed this as an opportunity for them.
they think the DS is naturally attuned towards RPGs more. The two screens can show RPG stats that's appropriate for the genre. They say building on the DS is like when they were building on the PC years ago because you have a small, tight-knit team where each person is a key contributor.
they say they really want to make something that stays true to Sonic, but still surprises and surpasses fan expectations because it's something new and different.

Y2Kev said:SONIC in smash brothers is an EFFRONTERY to gaming. HOW DARE HE shit up smash brothers with his adulterous, manwhore ways after making out with the Princess of Soleanna right in front of AMY FRIGGIN ROSE. I mean she was STANDING RIGHT THERE.
Himuro said:Sally Acorn > Amy Rose
Amy sucks
Y2Kev said:leaked dialog!!!
Sonic: Amy, I'm leaving you.
Amy: What? Why? Is it someone else?
Sonic: I love another woman.
Amy: Who is she, Sonic? Does she treat you well?
Sonic: She kissed me once and I came back from the dead.
Amy: But I love you!
Sonic: Amy, every hedgehog dreams of something greater, something more. When I was just a young hedgehog with my furry family in our furry home, I dreamed of having a great girlfriend. And you are that great girlfriend, Amy. But now that I've defeated Evil Eggman, it's time to accomplish the second part of my dream....dump whoever I was with and get a human chick.
Amy: Sonic, how could you!
Sonic: I jus' a playa, Amy.
Amy: I am so hurt! or
I am not hurt at all! [lie]
Then Sonic awkwardly kisses the Princess of Soleanna in front of Amy Friggin Rose
Game ends
Christopher said:I still never got how people were in such an uproar over the princeses kissing sonic for not even a second, while defending the old cartoon style where Sonic chased after the squirrel in a vest.
Himumu a furry?
Himuro said:In 360/ps3 Sonic, there's a human and she kisses SONIC RIGHT IN FRONT OF AMY ROSE.
Sonic does not deserve to be in Smash Bros since he brings a shame to gaming. The reason being HE CHEATED ON AMY FUCKING ROSE.
