>Sonic Boom is going to bomb
I feel bad
No.120
No.128
Oh thank god we're here. I was worried I'd have to go back to halfchan.
At least the 3DS version of Boom doesn't look like total shit, right?
No.130
Maybe we should start in /v/ until things pick up around here. I don't really think a veejee was totally necessary yet.
>>128It looks pretty fun to me, but I just want another game that isn't a Nintendo exclusive. The last boxed Sonic game I got was Generations, three years ago.
No.132
On the bright side, I am really looking forward to the cartoon. Even the comic this time looks pretty neat.
No.134
>>130We all know they outsource or half-ass Nintendo exclusives. I think we are all waiting for a real Sonic Team game.
No.147
>>132Making fun of the cartoon with /v/ and/or /co/ is the only part of Boom I'm looking forward to.
No.1674
c'mon man I don't want to have to keep going to halfchan's general and /fast/ is dead. Rise from your grave. Here, have fanart by based Nerfuffle, the one who's been drawing the Sonic Universe off panels and will do the Fighters arc.
No.2520
To anyone reporting here via the migration from Half/sthg/, I say:
Welcome back.
No.2521
>>2520Hello. I was just planning on writing up a welcome message myself.
No.2522
>>2521Yes but I had a Bump so mine's better by default.
Also we're taking Bump with us. I hope no one objects.
No.2523
>>2522I don't think many people are here right now to object.
They're mostly on IRC
No.2524
>>2523I think most people are asleep.

No.2757
>>31I know I'm beating a dead horse but Sonic has spiraled in recent years. Colors was fun, and so was half of Generations, but before that I can't really remember the last time Sonic got me excited (other than his inclusion in Brawl). The Adventure games weren't horrible but they were a far cry from the Genesis games I loved when I was little. That being said, my opinion of those games doesn't really count because I only ever beat Sonic 2.

So have you guys read any good Sonic fanfics as of late?

>>2757I've gone back in recent years and beat Sonic, 2, 3, and & Knuckles. I have to agree with your take on the newer games, and I have asked family to refrain from buying Sonic since Heroes came out. I got Generations on a whim, and really enjoyed the "old" sonic stages.
No.4856
Can anyone think of a way to make a truly good 3d Sonic, not just a "less bad" one? My view is that the track running doesn't work in 3d so it needs to be a different genre that captures a different kind of "fast." Say, a high-speed character action game with just dodges, counters and acrobatic combat.
No.4897
>Metal sonic wil never be best rival and edgelord Shadow has ruined it all forever.
No.4898
>>4856You can't.
There is no way to make jumping as sonic fun in 3D, beause of th every format itself.
Homing attackless 3d sonic would be attrocious because casuals wouldn't be able to position themselfs fo rlanding in a jump to go to the next enemy in motion during those parts in the game where theres a plat form you have to jump on using enemies as lilypads.
No.5095
Can someone upload Sonic Universe 71? Or make a summary with details about it?
No.5264
>>4898I know 3d sonic platformers aren't any good. That's why I said make it a character action game. Did you read my post?

Anyone here watch Sonic Boom on Cartoon Network? It's terrible from a FAST perspective, but I can't stop watching.
No.7391
>>7375Tried watching it. Still prefer AOSTH in comparison.
No.7450
>>7391Agreed, but there's something about this show I enjoy. It could just be that they play Knuckles up to be the idiot I've always expected
