/sthg/ #1136 - The Freedom Fighters are Fucking Dead Edition
I ho ho hope everyone's having a jolly night tonight.
Logan Peterson
>Freedom Fighters are dead Don't be stupid, user. Ian was referring to the characters he made post-reboot, ala Egg Bosses. SEGA owns the FFs, so they're still up in the air.
Daniel Kelly
*Christmas night*
Landon Bailey
thanks friend
Joshua Cruz
"On December 24th 10:36 pm Takashi Iizuka stated that he wants to take the Sonic games in a different direction based on the success of Mania. He believes that through exploring older concpets that include the comics and original titles that a fully fledged 3D Sonic game would be in the works, while including old faces that the fans have been waiting for. While at the same time discarding newer ones."
Ethan Wright
Happy Holidays, Sonicbabs
Thx
Austin Rodriguez
Fuck you.
Aiden Sullivan
I hope everyone's going fast tonight.
Grayson Cox
>Takashi Iizuka stated that he wants to take the Sonic games in a different direction based on the success of Mania Classic pandering in the 3D games confirmed
Jackson Gonzalez
This literally means nothing. This is a nothing statement that Sega told Iizuka to say.
Dominic King
THEY BETTER NOT FUCKING KILL OFF SILVER
Caleb Hernandez
They're probably showing up, but the question to me is what role they would serve and how often they will be appearing. I don't care if they return, but with what seems like a total reboot, I don't really want them to play as big a part as they did previously.
Isaiah Morgan
It's a fake quote, anons. If it was real, this general would've blasted through 10 threads already.
Cameron Bailey
Sauce me.
Benjamin Gomez
Wait wait hang on here. Does this mean that we will have an Archie styled 3D game?
Andrew Howard
...
Wyatt Hill
With it being a reboot, it's more than likely they're gonna make them secondary characters that just helps Sonic & the others. They stick around, but they don't play a big role in the universe anymore. It'd make a decent compromise.
Connor Wilson
Oh it's real. I'll see if I can get a link. They'll probably fuck it up ngl
Carson Turner
You're all fucking retarded and I feel ashamed to be a part of this general.
Jaxon Cook
I can confirm this. I shouldn't be posting here but he mentioned that we the staff need to clear our heads of everything and make a whole new experience.
Luis Long
>implying asking for a source is believing user, I didn't even want that (You). Have it back.
Samuel Hughes
Fuck, this sounded so real.
Blake Long
Aaron stop memeing in this general & go back to memeing on Twitter.
Colton Garcia
Seems like it. Hopefully SEGA will feel like advertising the comics this time.
Connor Reyes
ice-skateu
Luis Morris
>Silvaze Gross.
Luis Nelson
Tails would be useful?
Chase Jenkins
I wonder whatever happened to Silversperg
Jonathan Roberts
This opens up so many possibilities! Even a god damn intimidating Robotnik once again.
Camden Nelson
WE'RE DONE FOR BROS
Blake Kelly
was he against blazilver or just hated silver altogether?
Carson Robinson
If there's any Sonic Forces Speed Battle players here, I highly recommend maining Zavok. He's in a good place in the meta and Shadow/Amy mains are incredibly insecure over him. Especially Shadow mains. They see it as a mark of honor to beat a Zavok player.
Tyler Robinson
I think it was both.
Chase Barnes
He absolutely lost his shit at the sight of both.
user, do you expect Sonic fans to not believe anything they read? You could just highlight that quote, search it on Google & this place is the only result that shows up. Buncha easily worked marks in this general.
Jason Sanders
>sonic already on his last whim >beats the shit out of him again with his own past
Sonic Team are actual dicks.
Logan Rivera
provide a link instead of taking a screenshot of a textbox
Elijah Price
Just be glad that if he's still here he doesn't seem to sperg out in threads as badly. Presented himself to just hate silver initially but then it turned out he was a shipfag who was incredibly angry about silvaze because he liked sonaze.
Jason Garcia
I fucking tried, user. It says my post is spam.
Andrew Morgan
I'm confused, I'd think that any of Flynn's creations would belong exclusively to Sega, so is it just IDW saying "no thanks"?
Charles Robinson
True enough.
Logan Hall
post a screenshot of the url then
Camden Garcia
Merry Christmas, all! In case you missed it, there's a special Christmas Build of the Sonic controller, testing out some new 3D models of loops and ramps, but presented in a more festive manner than usual. It took a couple hours to throw together, so I hope you enjoy it!
IDW loves having shit from different franchises in comics, so it's either Ian deciding to not use them, or SEGA decided that they didn't want them in the new comics.
Dylan Collins
holy shit....it's fucking real
Justin Lee
SEGA and maybe IDW maybe want a complete new direction with no ties to the old book. Maybe there's some weird legal thing? Perhaps he doesn't feel they would fit in whatever the new world/direction is?
We won't know until he elaborates.
Leo Long
Speaking of spergs, has Sparky done anything dumb recently, or has he finally fucked off for good?
Jose White
Or Archie is the one who owns the rights to them because Sega doesn't give a shit.
Hudson Martin
>Fully fledged 3D game So, only 75% of it will be 2D this time? Cool.
Nolan Reed
user, this is the sonic franchise. Absurd shit is the norm and believed at face value regardless of whether there is proof of such absurdity taking place
Andrew Green
Please, for the love of GOD, tell me this is a just a dedicated joke.
Caleb Lee
Sparky's still around, but he's calmed down a lot & people don't hate him as much.
Archie could own them, but I'd think it's more likely Ian owns them.
Thanks!
Austin Barnes
This is the worst bait taking I've ever seen. If it was real, the other Sonic sites would be all over it as well.
Ethan Mitchell
idk dude, even aaron mentioned something along these lines too
Nathaniel Wright
Evan confirmed that Archie is the one that owns her original characters including Gold, so there's no reason to think it'd be different with Ian.
Juan Gray
So much crazy shit has happened in the Sonic series, the fanbase has become easily baited.
Well if that's the case, then that fucking sucks. Not like Archie would ever do anything with them.
Caleb Martin
I thought they were all ultimately owned by Sega?
Ryder Clark
only thing he’s fucked is his new girlfriend frankly if it’s keeping him from stinking up threads he can do what he pleases.
Evan Reed
>rouge works and is often paired with mr. Ultimate lifeform and all around super popular Shadow Wew, we are safe fellow Rougefags.
Nicholas Gomez
>The day Sparky thought he could hide from us with his waifu ways. What a fool.
Tyler Howard
Keep in mind licensing contracts are constantly renewed on a regular basis as they expire, so it's entirely possible that Sega agreed to let Archie own the comic OC material post-lawsuit because a) Sega doesn't give a shit about the Archie comics, and b) it helps further insulate them from lawsuits.
Colton Hill
>no more humor eggman Yes pls
Joshua Phillips
Classicshit really needs to fuck off.
Angel Moore
I remember that. What a fuckin’ riot. still holding out hope the user who said they were gonna draw art of it actually does it
Levi Cooper
I've said it before, but if SEGA's gonna keep remixing old stages in Sonic games because they're out of ideas for new stages, then they can at least do some different stages. Don't need to see GHZ for the Sonic 1 representation for the millionth time.
Samuel Peterson
>Mania Eggman wasn't humorous I beg to differ. Just because he didn't have any spoken dialogue doesn't mean that he wasn't funny to watch. His animations showed lots of him frustratedly fumbling about and being goofy.
I agree. At the very least, the classic aesthetics need to fuck off. Give us physics in 3D, level design like Adventure and a visual style like what 06 was TRYING to go for, but failed at.
Noah Anderson
>, while including old faces that the fans have been waiting for. While at the same time discarding newer ones BOO
>mr. Ultimate lifeform and all around super popular woman respecter Shadow fixed
Samuel Taylor
And just like that, this thread is already shit.
Gabriel Scott
I will always be here. As far as I can tell, I haven't caused anything major here at all recently.
Please stop talking about this, I literally can't stop thinking about that character, I feel like she's driving me crazy.
What... What is this? >While at the same time discarding newer ones." They better be talking about the Deadly Six and NO ONE ELSE.
Gavin Perry
I'm pretty sure everyone knows it's BS but they're reacting like it's true for memes at this point.
Jackson Anderson
It's your inner waifufaggotry, Sparkplug. Once you gain a waifu, your life is forever changed.
Matthew Miller
FANG THE JERBOA PLAYABLE SOON
Jordan Stewart
>woman respecter "If she breath she a thot!" Pls.
Asher Walker
I'll never forget the Sonic thread on Christmas on /v/ 4 years ago. Probably my favorite Sonic thread, no Sonic thread on Christmas has come close yet.
Connor Hall
Crystal Canyon zone. abandoned mine shafts, dodging mine carts as you grind on the tracks, glowing gemstones and falling stalactites. >How do you tie it into the story? Eggman is trying to synthesize fake gem-based power sources of his own so he has a mining operation there. Bam. Done.
How is this hard? I don't get it.
Cooper Murphy
That seems like a stupid decision, since the characters are utterly worthless without the larger Sonic brand, like Archie doesn't get anything out of it
Oliver Kelly
Nobody has ever accused Archie of making smart decisions.
Wyatt Kelly
It's not hard, but a lot of things that shouldn't be hard for Sonic Team is hard for them to pull off.
I remember last year's /sthg/ Christmas thread being incredibly comfy. Not saying it surpassed it since I never saw that /v/ thread, but it was one of my favorite recent /sthg/ threads.
Robert Scott
>GHP posts a little Christmas-themed playground to make us happy. >It gets completely ignored in favor of angry shitposting
Gavin Bailey
>please stop talking about it Oh please, I see you over in /ddlc/ shitposting about your girlfriend, don’t try to pretend you aren’t madly in love.
Colton Turner
It was first posted last thread, actually. I appreciate it
Connor Stewart
It made me happy, if that means anything.
Easton Gray
I think you guys should bullying Sparky about this. It's not funny anymore; it's just mean.
Prison Lane is one of my favorite compositions in the series.
Jackson Martin
"Tails, listen to me." Sonic said and laid his hand on his shoulders. "We are gonna warn the others right away, and we will find them back." Soon after they heard a door in the living swinging open... "I WILL... TAKE YOU ALL"
Wyatt Price
should stop*
Austin Perry
That's how it is sometimes, sadly.
Samuel Sanders
>bullying Hey I’m not bullying. I just think it’s kinda cute.
Xavier Nelson
I've had it sitting on my computer about to play it for the last couple of hours, but I've been too busy shitposting to get to it.
I still appreciate it GHPAnon, you do great shit for this general
Jonathan Brown
He's literally psycho over her. It's not bullying, it's being observational.
Hudson Williams
>I will always be here. I don't know why but this made me feel happy.
Brody Baker
He's "psycho" because you guys keep on trying to force a stale, unfunny meme on him.
Nathaniel Johnson
>Implying
Andrew Jenkins
Jesus Christ Sparky.
Jackson Reyes
Why is the font so different?
Evan Russell
There's no proof that's Sparky. I highly doubt Sparky plays or even knows that much about DDLC. That's assuming that screenshot is real, because the font doesn't leave me so confident.
Caleb Myers
...
Justin White
Blazefags on suicide watch.
Caleb Moore
I want to bully Shadow's chao.
Joseph Hughes
That's all I can really hope for. Have a good night, everybody. I've got a lot of obligations these next couple weeks, so don't expect a lot of progress on the Dev Kit. Please use this time to really dig into the current build of the engine. When I get the time, I'll be finally ready to make a new level using the kit. After that, It'll be time to compile everything together and make a finished, open-source package for all to download and create with.
A new age of 3D Sonic is on its way, gents and we're going to make it happen together. With this and the new fan-comic underway, 2018 is going to be a big year for this General. I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am.
