[General Discussion] Sonic turned 15

I'm maintaining a sonic site that gets millions of hits and a forum with a thousand members (not counting forum resets) and I don't remember anyone ever mentioning Chaos Angel Zone.

There was a Cosmic Angel in Sadv1 which had nice music but aside from that, I don't even remember anything similar.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Appearantly the script of Sonic Next got leaked. I heard that Sonic dies in the game

Spoiler:

but they resurrect him.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Since like 1992, yea.

BTW, the game script:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't think that resurrection is such a typical DBZ motif that you could call it a direct ripoff. I'm pretty sure there are tons of games and anime which feature resurrection.

But I doubt that most sonic fans are intelligent enough to think over DBZ, and they'll probably make the whole game sound like a Dragonball copy - IT HAS TIME TRAVEL TOO! SHADOW IS LIKE VEGETA! RESURRECTION OMFG! - and so on.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think the Sonic/Mario comparisons root in the fact that both of them are being whored out on extreme levels. Mario is featured in NBA and DDR games while Sonic 1 is being re-released the 52nd time.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You could totally rail grind with your Soap shoes way back in Sonic 1, yes.

How ya doing, buddy?

Let compare again:
Sonic 1: blur in blue, blue dude with a 'tude, etc
Sonic now: IMA ROLLIN AROUND WITH THE SPEED OF DA SOUND, GOTTA FOLLOW MY RAINBOOOW

Sonic 1: evil doctor who turns animals into robot slaves
Sonic now: I AM THE EGGMAN, THATS WHAT I AM, THE EGGMAN, YES, I'M THE EGGMAN THE EGGMAAAAAN, OH YEA DOO DOO DOOOO

Clearly there's some basic level of difference in the amount of "street cred" they force in the games, isnt there?

Oh, and thats another good point: back then, they concentrated on making a good game, and sold it with "street cred". Now they concentrate on forcing "street cred" INTO the game, and sell it with the name established by the revolutionary original series. Notice how "making a good game" is noticably missing in the process, too.

Most amazing jew boots

Haha, that reminded me that Knuckles is the original "gangsta" of the new-gen sonic crew. His levels were based on "treasure hunting", and he had RAP AS BACKGROUND MUSIC. Shadow is just the emo angst person with guns and warthogs, and the quirkly named Silver is a wigger.

By the way, notice all the different colored hedgehogs? The next sonic characters may be:
- a rabid red hedgehog with mental disorder, called Spaz the Hedgehog (blatantly stolen from the Jazz Jackrabbit series, since people playing Sonic games are way too young to remember that game)
- a hippie light green hedgehog
- a purple sonic recolor named "Shitglove"

And by 2009, we will have SONIC RANGERS!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Wow, cant believe I missed that out. (Actually I can, and I'm glad I didnt remember that show.)


Someone needs to do some FANART!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
