The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann said in an interview with The New Yorker that he believes the HBO show “will be the best, most authentic game adaptation” yet, ultimately adding “Hopefully, this will put that video-game curse to bed."
The Big Chungus joke in Space Jam 2 really made me appreciate the Sonic movie even more for actually being able to do a “remember this outdated character meme” joke in genuinely clever and funny way.
crazy how "gotta go fast" started as a cheesy ass lyric from 4kids' theme for sonic x and slowly escalated to now being a full on decoration for sonic team's conference room, the dev team that literally makes the games lol
one of the worst things wreck it ralph 2 did was scrap the earlier concept of sonic having a bigger role in the film, because he was legit one of the few things i liked about it
"the internet is not nearly as impressive as how sonic described it" is prob my favorite line lol
understandable, but i think they can be entertaining when the characters don't directly swap voices and instead have the VAs mimic the swapped character's mannerisms
sonic boom is one of my favorite examples of this
sonic niggas when they see that sonic's shoes are one shade of red lighter than they were in the previous 3d games (they're not mindless consoomers that blindly eat up the absolute drivel that comes out of the evil SEGA's kitchen or some shit)

recently, if you’ve been sleeping on the show - give it a watch on Amazon Prime - these storyboards are just an inkling of the awesomeness the team has cooked up!
sonic fans when they get a great open world game with a fun story, beautiful visuals, and a dope soundtrack but sonic's quills are 0.4 centimeters smaller than usual
The blame is almost entirely on Sonic Team's incompetence of basically doing the most basic things like making the gameplay fun, and focusing on grandiose ambitions to reinvent Sonic instead.
It's really embarrassing considering one guy literally just made what's basically SA3
i love SA2's UI, but i wouldn't say that this kind of confidence left sonic
as much as i don't really like forces, i think it's UI design is pretty damn dope
very stylish and memorable in its own right, and i like how the aesthetic was inspired by old soviet constructivist art
Sonic Adventure 2's UI is still my fav in the series, shit is so sex looking, the game knows it has good art direction and is so confident about it
the use of 2D art really sells the style, Sonic needs this type of confidence with it's visuals again.
i also hate the switch up people have had for amy's cards because you hardly hear anyone giving this criticism for other characters
"we get it, sonic loves chili dogs, stop overusing it"
"we get it, rouge loves jewels, stop overusing it"
like, why is amy being singled out? lol
"We get it it Amy loves tarot card. Stop overusing it"
Its only been talked about 4 to 5 times people. That's not overusing. Its been a trait for Amy since her conception and only NOW is it being mentioned and a part of her character as it should've been. This is such a non…
since we're all in a sonic frontiers mood, i'm gonna randomly highlight another small detail
when the player pushes back on the analog stick while sonic is moving at a fast pace, he does this cool 180 turn animation before moving in said direction
The blame is almost entirely on Sonic Team's incompetence of basically doing the most basic things like making the gameplay fun, and focusing on grandiose ambitions to reinvent Sonic instead.

"sonic 2's mid-credit scene had no buildup, it was random, obviously thrown in at the last minute"
so we're pretending to be worried about buildup and randomness all of a sudden?
it had more buildup than tails' mid-credits in the first movie lol
"polished"
look, I love generations, but imma need y'all to hook me up with one of the very rare copies of the game where sonic doesn't control like an unresponsive tank
frontiers isn't perfect but at least I don't gotta worry about the light speed dash refusing to register💀
...does it???
the sonic movies haven't been above being self-aware of themselves while still being genuine, it's part of the charm
plus, it's not like the joke is making fun of the line itself
it's making fun of the character SAYING it via recontextualization lol
@freakyburger
Honestly, that’s a great way to tie it in.
His brain needed a break from all that was going on. So he subconsciously bent the Cyberspace to his needs. Or its the other way around.
Either way, it’s clear that Sonic was STRESSED!!!!
A bunch of verified clowns really dissing Sonic Unleashed for getting an orchestral showcase even though, regardless of your opinions on the game, it has one of the best Sonic soundtracks ever.
I'm already tired and I just got up lol
@The_Galactabee
Apparently they ARE. According to the Toy Story plot in KH3, which I’m pretty sure is canon, there are toys that, while they are sentient, simply don’t actually know how to move by themselves the way Woody and everyone else do, so until they learn, they’re dormant.
I don’t like how people keep associating Ben Schwartz with the movie’s interpretation of Sonic, and because of that, don’t want him to voice game Sonic. Voice direction is everything. Keep in mind that before the movie, this video existed.
Ben is totally capable of voicing him.
1. it wasn't 30 minutes
2. it was an entertaining way to introduce GUN into the movie-verse
3. natasha rothwell slayed
4. it had some of the best jokes in the movie, one of which being the priest with a gun in his bible
5. the olive garden running gag is funny as hell, hush
Guys I don’t want to be mean but I think you’re setting yourselves up for disappointment the last movie had like 30 minutes devoted to some stupid marriage subplot and Olive Garden
i'm always going to be a sucker for the darker, more serious tones for sonic, especially with how well i thought frontiers pulled it off
but something about the fucking ENERGY that these particular games exude is just......irresistible to me
all i'm saying is
sonic movie 3 would be even MORE peak if it had a movie score that was actually good this time
after mario and fnaf, there's no excuse for a new sonic movie to have music that's as forgettable as it was in the first two films
"It's this ominous being of ORDER, an opposition to the CHAOS emeralds. It's what caused the Sonic series to happen and could be the continuously imposing 'DEATH' to the 'LIFE' that the emeralds create and maintain."
"JK, IT'S ACTUALLY JUST ANOTHER MONSTER OF THE WEEK LMFAO💀"
the scores for these movies are so bland overall, it hurts
I really like these movies, but come on bruh, it's sonic the hedgehog, a franchise known for its excellent music, there's no reason for the music in his films to be so forgettable
If Sonic Rangers’ official announcement trailer (TRAILER, not TEASER, which is what we already got) has a “SEGA Proudly Presents” caption, it’s likely gonna be fire.
That shit is practically the modern day “SEGA Seal of Quality” for anything Sonic lol
pop in can be pretty damn annoying and immersion-breaking
but frame rate drops in a high-speed action platformer is the absolute worst of the two evils imo
IGN has asked director Morio Kishimoto how the new Sonic game's story will differ from Frontiers.
"As I noted before, we wanted to make a story that delved deeper into the characters. One way we did so was by having Sonic kill himself.
He will now be MORE free than the wind."
"he's not subtle with the references" being his biggest sin (according to what i've seen from twitter i guess) really shows me why he's the lead writer for the games now, because i WISH that was the biggest issue with how some of the previous games were written
if the reception to the final horizon has told me anything, it's that sonic team should REALLY fine-tune the difficulty levels for future games
there's clearly an audience for more difficult platforming and gameplay AS WELL as an audience for the more lax, easy-going kind
(1/11)
@The_Galactabee
Does this bring up some horrifying implications? Yes, but they are sentient, despite not being able to move like Woody and everyone else does.
Probably because they’re not the same kind of toys.
Arin Hanson really be disappointed he didn’t get featured in that Sonic fan video, even though he literally got to sit in a studio and record a song with Jun Senoue himself, huh? lol
For the record, I’m not saying this is really a problem or that the Chungus reference was bad, because it really wasn’t despite being kind of forced, it just made me appreciate Sanic for going all out with itself as a joke, that’s all.
Have no idea why this blew up lol
I'm curious. which moments from Sonic games/media do you think are genuinely funny? like not unintentional "haha they said the meme quote" funny but legit funny
I'll start. Sonic sassing the fuck out of Shahryar is funny
superstars is a better game than mania in almost every way and i like the greater emphasis on platforming in its level design
also, things like being able to switch characters within the same campaign, cancel super forms, or replay previous stages whenever you want are great
"get iizuka out of here, he's doing nothing but restrict the series"
my brother in christ, this is the man that cares so much about sonic that he literally risked his job to give sonic team another year to develop frontiers
you're aiming at the wrong guy here lol
isn't this like the first time since GENERATIONS where we've heard ACTUALLY NEW voice lines from cream?
there's no way it's actually been that long right???
@TheNCSmaster
@DynamoSuperX
same
admittedly, i was hoping bowser would have a song, since jack black is a good singer, but the whole thing being a musical is kinda weird to me
if its even true, i mean
since the final horizon comes out tomorrow, i just want to say that the intro of sonic frontiers with the first cyberspace stage and the beginning portion of kronos island is one of my favorite opening acts of any sonic game, it sets the tone and atmosphere of the game up so well
knuckles was pretty good and a really fun watch imo
i love how absurd the humor was willing to be and the more unserious vibe the show has compared to the movies
soundtrack is pretty good too
people that say to skip ep 4 are joyless
i rate it a large challah bread out of 10
