Welcome to Sonic the Hedgehog general. Let's talk about Sonic games, old and new, and the entire franchise including animation and comics. Share art, music, talk about new developments, discuss ROM hacks, speedrunning, etc.
Out of curiosity what would sthg say is they're favorite ark post reboot for the archie comics for both main series and universe
Ryder Watson
>wake up Dude, it's 2PM EST here. Everyone's at work. Learn to time zone.
Asher Flores
>posting from work >but apparently unable to create a new thread
ok
William Smith
>Main series Champions >Universe Eggman's Dozen
Robert Edwards
/sthg/, what is your worst case scenario for the next mainline sonic game?
Lincoln Martinez
>Main series Champions
>Universe WHY IS MY ISLAND SIDEWAYS The Echidna. The one with Shadow and Knuckles fighting over the Master Emerald.
Knuckles post-reboot a best.
Xavier Edwards
>Main series Champions >Universe Eggman's Dozen
Brody Adams
Sonic Adventure 3 is an MMORPG with 3 factions. Hero Faction Eggman Faction G.U.N. Faction
Jaxon Lewis
I know it's 2 pm there when it's 9 pm here why don't you do graveyard shift :^)
Julian Perry
>Hero Faction But Sonic can't be a faction by himself
Jordan Davis
They get overly ambitious again, resulting in a fucked up dev process when Sega execs remind them they had a deadline to meet.
Jacob Harris
Gotta say, I'm failing to see why this would necessarily be a bad thing. If you could elaborate?
Caleb Young
Webber convinces Iizuka that the fans would really like it if the writer for the comics wrote the games. Iizuka then picks up some comics to see who the writer is and the first one he gets is written by Penders.
>Donut Steels And? It's an MMO. That's kind of the point.
Look, I know there's a bit of a taboo against fan characters, but you guys have to let that go. Ultimately, a silly recolor that someone made for their fanfic is harmless. Seriously, why are you so scared of OCs?
David Peterson
Worst case scenario is no games, only memes.
Colton Collins
So what you're saying is that the worst case scenario is what's actually going to happen?
Jeremiah Garcia
This desu. Raving about fan characters is so 2009. Wish more people would come to terms with that.
Would you really enjoy a Sonic game with other random people playing the same game at the same time as you as you collect 7 discolored Fox butts for some NPC?
John Harris
I really hate this general. I hate it, I hate it, HATE IT. Hate. Hate. Hate. HATE!!!!!
Lincoln Williams
Isn't socialization also part of the point of MMOs?
Again, not really seeing your point here.
Asher Wright
Well whatever then. It's just my opinion.
Cameron Rogers
WHAT THE FUCK IS A SONIC
Ryder Torres
An online game would work if it was like XenoVerse instead of a typical MMO.
Juan Ortiz
>socialising with hundreds of kids and autists flirting with each other as their OC's running around and being all *snuggles with paws* >not your idea of hell
Robert Peterson
A miserable pile of secrets.
Lucas Howard
I have no idea. There are a millon bad scenarios, but I'm not sure what's the worst one. Probably them ditching Modern, or doing something really bad with him like a meme game or something like severely screwing up their personalities even more, or something completely boring. Or a redesign, oh god.
So yeah, I think I'm probably screwed, it's hard for at least one of those not to happen.
Oliver Ross
>Isn't that more or less what we do all the time in this general? No. Not really
Anthony Wright
Not even close to what we do in here.
Daniel Lewis
Socializing with hundreds of autists: yes The other stuff: not do much
Joshua Ward
Advance or Dreamcast Adventure.
Kayden Cruz
We'd need Sonic Colors 2 first... And considering Colors was the best of the boost trilogy...
James Murphy
>that denial I dunno, between all the artist drama, shipping, waifu-fagging, and speculating on the characters' sexual habits...
Michael Barnes
And? State your point instead of trailing off like a narcoleptic retard.
Colton Moore
Okay, I'm saying you're in denial about being exactly the same as the demographic you fear so much. You do the exact same shit, the only real difference being that lack of asterisks.
I'm also saying you're a bunch of pussies for crying bitch tears at the mere existing of OCs.
Matthew Ramirez
More classic sonic pandering
Cooper Allen
>wolf twins pendered
I'm still waiting on a new replacement pair of somewhat stacked twins whose potential isn't floundered before they begin, Flynn.
Carter Sullivan
We are far from the same when it comes to execution and by "we" I mean the few people that do each of those things. I guess you forget that they get told to fuck off when they get out of line. Or maybe you're just confusing some /v/ threads for here. Either way you're wrong in at least one way or another. You also seem to forget how cancerous OCs are to begin with. Most of the people here can barely stand the two made here even though they were made to be as inoffensive as possible with almost no personality or traits, much less a backstory.
Jason Johnson
...
Sebastian Lee
What is Sonic Lost World?
Nolan Perry
You sure do protest alot for someone who claims to not do those things.
Asher Jones
>Sonic Xenoverse Is it bad that I want this?
Ryan Price
>You also seem to forget how cancerous OCs are to begin with. Most of the people here can barely stand the two made here even though they were made to be as inoffensive as possible with almost no personality or traits, much less a backstory. Again, I don't under stand this at all. Why are OCs bad?
Ryder Ortiz
You fucking me? Wisps doesn't make Lost World into Colors 2. Fuck, all games in the future are gonna have wisps dude, they're Sonic's fire flowers.
Connor Gutierrez
>You guys do X >No we don't. >BOY, YOU SURE ARE PROTESTING A LOT.
Xavier Baker
Considering it would be a Dimps Sonic game, I'd feel more bad for you getting your hypothetical hopes up.
Jack Lee
And how does that in any way mean that what you say is correct? Are you perhaps retarded? I'm not gonna spend all day sstating something that doesn't really need to be said but the gist is that they're detrimental to the fanbase of a franchise and generally leads to the growth of actual autists if left unchecked. See CWC.
Nathan Barnes
Nah, that one guy's response was definitely way more than that.
Justin Watson
>The Chaotix in
WHAT
IN WHAT
Elijah Sanchez
>they're Sonic's fire flowers Oh jesus you're right
Kevin Miller
>I'm not gonna spend all day sstating something that doesn't really need to be said great way to lead an argument there, chum
Camden Sanchez
...
Juan Long
It really goes without being said at this point in time, user. If you don't understand why OCs are cancer, and this applies to any and all fanbases and franchises, then you were probably born in this century.
Landon Ortiz
I feel like Iizuka explicitly made the comparison between Wisps and Mario power-ups in an interview once, though I might be imagining that.
Luis Richardson
>Why are OCs bad? >Because I say so!
Grayson Cooper
...
Gabriel James
You have to be older than 18 to post here.
David Nelson
Yeah, still waiting for you to back that one up.
Ryan Allen
Says the guy sperging out over OCs.
Kayden Barnes
>he gets mad about what other autists do in their free time
Joseph Lopez
>>>/dA/ >>>/tumblr/
Liam Perry
OCs in and of themselves don't have to be a bad thing, the reason why people hate OCs is because they are more often than not self-insert characters who exist so the creator can feel more important than established characters.
Bump and Sage are fine since they're basically just inoffensive mascots. SuperDude the HyperFoxDragon who's more powerful than Shadow and fucks all the hot girls is what people think of when they hate OCs.
Anthony Myers
>SuperDude the HyperFoxDragon who's more powerful than Shadow and fucks all the hot girls is what people think of when they hate OCs. Doesn't help that 99% of OCs are exactly that.
Thomas Scott
They're fun to laugh at, who cares?
Zachary Lopez
Why would GUN be separated from Hero?
William Young
Because I'm not an apathetic fag that doesn't care about the quality of the fanbase I'm in. The only time OCs are excusable are when actual thought is put into them or when actual kids make them. Sonic 06 was fun to laugh at. Who cares that it was one of the worst games of that generation or that it finished turning Sonic into the laughing stock of the industry? It was just a prank, bro.
Dylan Morgan
G.U.N has always been a separate faction in all media they feature in. They're more or less the Neutral to the FF's Good and Eggman's Evil.
G.U.N is always just looking out for their own territories, even if they'll occasionally help out Sonic and friends when it's practical.
Nathan Wood
I mean, I get your point about 06, but you take the fandom too seriously, bro.
Dylan Clark
Not really. I just think that people that find no problem whatsoever with OCs to be utter idiots that deserve to be made fun of and/or shit on.
Ryder Davis
That Eggman picture reminds me of a fan comics I read ages back. It was shit, but it went along the lines of World destroyed, Eggman, Knuckles and Amy team up with >Not Shadow I think, and then Sonic's dead and Eggman makes guns and shit. Can't find it these days.
Nicholas Butler
See, that kind of talk is exactly what I'm talking about. Fortunately I've got more Swatbots.
Asher Rogers
I must add however that most of the times OCs are for self insert. It's like when you create a character in Skyrim: 90% of the time you want to self insert in this world.
In my OP, the problem arrives as you said when they try to be better than the main characters (like if you made yourself richer than Bill Gates in Fimfiction) or uses them just to stroke your ego.
Jason Wilson
No amount of images will make you not an idiot.
Benjamin Cruz
He did. He stated that they were to help make Sonic's gameplay more unique. Mario has the Fire Flowers to slightly alter his gameplay, and Sonic has the Wisps.
Hunter Adams
>It's like when you create a character in Skyrim: 90% of the time you want to self insert in this world. That's pretty much the entire point of an RPG.
Blake Torres
When did G.U.N. act antagonistic to the FF?
Noah Carter
Saw this request in the pastebin.
Tyler Martin
Which would also be the point of a MMORPG.
Jason Murphy
You besides the entirety of SA2?
Angel Diaz
They were only really after Sonic.
Angel Hughes
Hold on, let me help.
Seriously man chill out. If you're so insecure to where you think people who have different opinions than you are scum of the earth you need to step back and reexamine the situation.
Daniel Perez
Actually the point of a MMORPG is to waste the time of anyone that plays it, eat their wallet, and have no real substance.
Elijah Cox
And hired Rouge to spy and get intel on Eggman and Project Shadow.
Ian Jones
SA2 was like the Sonic games dark age through. Nowhere close to the lighter hearted touch of the new universe.
Elijah Richardson
Still fought against Tails and Knuckles.
James Torres
>lighter-hearted touch
Jace Diaz
GUN and Kingdom of Acorn must have had some beef in the past. King Acorn caught on before any serious damage was done but then Eggman was in charge of the place until Sonic took over the place and rescued King Acorn.
I'm guessing G.U.N. took a while to be convinced that "The furry king was duped and therefore please forgive the whole preparing for war" thing.
