Sonic has had his lanky, green eyed design for longer than his 'classic' design yet the fanbase is still butthurt over it.

This fucking soundtrack, /v/. I've had this game installed for like a fucking year or something, and since nothing that runs on DX11 will launch from Steam for me for some reason, I decided to finally give this a shot. Played through the opening Green Hill Zone as classic Sonic and then played it again as modern Sonic in 3D. Gameplay is fantastic. Then it went back to that main hub world, and as I stood in front of the entrance to Green Hill Zone, the most amazing piece of music I've ever heard started playing. It was an orchestrated version of the Green Hill Zone music, and my god, /v/. My god. I was immediately hit with a tidal wave of nostalgia, and as I closed my eyes and leaned my head back in my chair, I could picture my first time playing the original Sonic on the Genesis I had just gotten for Christmas. The first time I saw what the game was like, the first time I heard that music. What a fucking feeling. NOTHING in a game has done that to me before. I honestly felt tears welling up a little, I had to quit the game to prevent them from spilling over. 

Vidya music that just... does something to do. Post it, talk about it, whatever.

You there! Stop talking about Pewdiepie and Shantae's bikini zone and have a listen!

We're playing vidya music all night, every night at http://plug.dj/digital-arcade/ and you, yes YOU, can join in on the fun! Impress us with that guy that plays Vampire Killer with only his farts. Complain about Sonic choices just because you hate the character! The night is young!

While we're doing that, let's use this thread for something fun, shall we? Name your favorite pokemon and I'll give you an album full of fanart of it, from my collection of 9000+ images.

NES era left us with Mario, Zelda, Mega Man Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Phantasy Star, Space Harrier etc.
SNES era left us with another Zelda, more Mario, Donkey Kong Country, Mega Man X Chrono Trigger, Sonic 2-3K, TMNT4, SCIV, SFII etc. PC already had DooM, Ultima, Gabriel Knight etc.

We can go on until the PS2 gen, and my point is this :

What will this generation leave to the ages? In 10 years, if some babby comes asking for help for the "Must Play" from the soon to be over generation, what will you suggest them?

Vidya hype thread?
Really excited for Second Son since InFamous 2 is still my favorite sandbox game to date. Killzone looks pretty neat actually but probably won't pick it up. Maybe though.
Knack honestly looks kinda fun after the new 2-player co-op trailer. Definitely something me and my buddy would probably enjoy.
>inb4 marketer
I just think it looks fun.
Watch Dogs is neat and I'm decently interested in The Order. Also looking forward to the new PS+ deals and free games on PS3. Into The Nexus looks pretty cool especially for the price it's going to sell for. Also looking forward to those Vita games and playing a mobile version of [spoiler]Minecraft[/spoiler] that doesn't suck.
On Nintendo's side everything looks great too.
Really excited for 3D World, looks like it'll actually be a good Mario game, since everyone after Galaxy 2 felt rehashy.
Can't wait to play Super Smash Bros on the go on my 3DS, that's gonna be fun as fuck. 
I'm conflicted about A Link Between Worlds though. Not sure how I feel about it.
Tried Sonic Lost World and had a blast with it, hopefully will be able to pick it up soon.
Still haven't gotten Pokemon X yet (Y is for faggots) but looks like a nice change of pace. 
Hyped as fuck for that Kirby 3DS game even though they haven't said much about it too.
Nothing from Microsoft I'm excited about really.
Not much on PC right now either but still looking out for some games.
Sonyntendo Domination thread also. What games are you hyped for right now /v/?

>Goichi Suda stated that he would not mind seeing Travis appear in the Super Smash Bros. series. Joystiq editor Randy Nelson agreed, stating that he would love to see Travis with his beam katana in the next title.[10] Destructoid editor Jim Sterling stated that he would love to see Travis included just by the virtue that it is a creation of Suda's, who he is a fan of. He commented that the close relationship between Suda and Hideo Kojima, whose character Solid Snake is already in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, makes it possible that he could appear.[34] Inc Gamers editor Tim McDonald described Travis as a good fit for the Super Smash Bros. franchise.[35] Kombo editor David Oxford stated that while he did not want to see the cast of the Super Smash Bros. series diluted by third party characters, he could easily see Travis not only fitting into the series, but being fun to play with.[36] Escapist Magazine editor Keane Ng expressed the opinion that while the two third party characters included in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog, were highly popular characters, Travis is an unlikely character due to being far less recognizable. He added that while Snake was from a Mature-rated video game, he fit in well; Travis' personality would make him too difficult to include, despite his fighting style being similar to other Smash Bros. characters.[37]

What do you think his chances are of showing up for Japan Time?

Recently I have been checking Logical Increments to build a new gaming rig, so I took the FAIR build component list and checked on various independent retailers, there weren't many today so I will check once again tomorrow, the thing is, some people there laughed at me once they said they didn't use certain components like the CPUs, here is my list.

• Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-D3H
• MSI FM2-A85XA-G65
>one of them told me to spend a little more on a GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper (horrible handwritting though, hard to tell), and someone else said the F2 was crap and told me to spend more on FX instead cuz of some overheating issue.

PSU
• XFX PRO550W 550W
• SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W
>I was told those names were too generic and just replaced it for Cooler Master on my budget notes.

HSF
• 212+
>Some of them didn't even have it.

CPU:
• AMD X4 750K
• AMD A8-5600K
>Some of them didn't have it and almost told me to fuck off.

• 4GB DDR3-1600
• 8GB DDR3-1600
>Sometimes only on 1333, is OK.

• 750 GB
• 1 TB

• AMD Radeon HD 7790

It is impossible to have a "how do we fix Sonic?" thread because the group within the thread cannot make up their mind. This is due to the franchise running for so long, that people jumped in at different times, mostly the rift involves Classic vesrus Adventure. Not to mention personal bias. For example there is me. I'd love a return to the classics but expand upon them without ripping existing levels off. New Badniks are upgrades or sidegrades of existing badniks, just like classics. Bring in new zone tropes and themes. Finally showcase the more obscure characters.

And we were right. He's a hack. A scrub. A pretender. He produced some good games, but producing doesn't mean shit. Kojima produced Lords of Shadow, was that game good? No, it wasn't.

And lets face it, the spin offs have been pretty fucking solid (Sonic Battle for example)

Look at this art style. Pretty cartoonish with a touch of realism and depth and detail. Sonic Lost Worlds insults this.

If you like Lost Worlds you are either a stupid Nintendrone who wants Sonic to be Mario, a previous fan who has now betrayed the series, or a moronic modern Sonic fan.

I'll tell you why these new console launches are so underwhelming.

Because, for whatever reason, the big 3 no longer launch their premiere IP along with their new hardware. 

It's why Sega lost lost momentum in the 90s with the Saturn, not having a 3D Sonic ready to go on launch day. I remember all the mags back then wondering when is the next Sonic going to arrive on the system. This lack of hype killed the Saturn before it had a chance to get started. Same exact thing is happening with the Wii U. No Mario. No Zelda. No one cares. 

You look back at the most successful launches/systems in videogame history, and one thing they all had in common is that they included a high quality, "next gen" iteration of their most popular franchise. 

I honestly don't understand why the big 3 no longer employs this marketing strategy. Back in the "good old days," Mario 64 generated an insane amount hype a year-and-a-half before the Nintendo 64's release. And that hype paid off in spades on launch day. Same with Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast (even though Soul Calibur wound up being the killer app for the system).

I guarantee you if Sony had a next gen God of War/Gran Turismo locked and loaded, or if Microsoft had Halo 5/Gears in the breach, people would be a lot more excited. 

Yeah, yeah, I know those games aren't /v/'s favorites, but the essential point is that these game companies have taken something of a condescending position, thinking we'll simply buy the system on brand name alone, which I guess is true in some sense, but if the Wii U's poor performance is any indication of things to come, these companies need to go back what has always worked.

>What could have been
Shadow doesn't get amnesia after his fall from the Ark. He takes Maria's last wish to heart and tries to make a world where people can be happy...whether that means teaming up with Eggman or Sonic or putting his own plans into motion and fighting both sides, changing his approach from one game to the next as he sees fit. His rivalry with Sonic fluctuates over time, sometimes having an almost friendly quality and other times being downright hostile, and he as a whole stays smooth and manipulative.

It's Confirmed: Lost World is a flop on the WiiU and 3DS

I haven't played the game myself, since I don't own a WiiU but I think SEGA fell into the trap with the mindset of "Hey, Sonic sold very good on Gamecube and Wii, surely making an exclusive deal with nintendo will make tons of money for us!"

Meanwhile other platform owners are left with fucking nothing this year, not even a compliation, nothing

SEGA has nobody to blame but themselves here

What I don't get about the majority of people on this board, think better hardware makes a game instantly better. But this simply isn't true.

You get your PC gamers saying "muh consoles are holding back gaming" and people also saying "lol wii u isn't as powerful as muh PS4 or Xbone"

But, why? Does having a machine with better hardware instantly mean the games are better? Sure, better hardware can make a game look nicer, possibly allow more stuff to happen at once without frame rate drops. They can possibly allow for much bigger worlds and maps with more people, again due to hardware. (Key word being possibly, it's up to the devs to take advantage of that because Killzone is still only 4 hours long)

But there's one important aspect that having better hardware doesn't accomplish. Fun. It doesn't make the game you're playing any more fun. And you know what, that literally is the only thing what matters when forming a basic opinion of a game is good or not.

A game can have the biggest, most varied world in gaming history. It can be filled to the brim of customisation but in the end, if you're not having fun with the game then you're just not going to play it.

The perfect examples are simply older great games. Crash Bandicoot 2, Metal Gear Solid, Sonic 3 and knuckles, Super Mario World, Ocarina of Time and so on. Hell even the Wii U has better games than the PS4, because the games are simply more fun.

Hello, /v/. Let's play a game. Take the last game that you played and review it as if you were a modern day video game journalist.

I'll start this Train Wreck a rollin'!

>Sonic Lost Worlds
While I liked the gameplay and thought that the game was... "Phung", the major negatives of the game make it unbearable. The sexism is rampant! one of the main villains is a grill, and is evil! I thought that this game was made for children, so I was very surprised to see how Sonic was forcing gender stereotypes on me, therefore making me offended and possibly raped. Other than that, it was shit and way too slow or fast. I haven't made up my mind, so you'll have to play the game yourself to find out

Hey, gang. Here's the situation. I am thinking of buying a 3ds xl just for ALBW. Is it worth it? 

ALTTP is my favourite game of all time, but ALBW kind of looks meh.

I had the same thing happen to me when I bought a DS for the novelty and soon got bored with it. I got NSMB and Sonic Rush then. NSMB was particularly shit as I recall it. Both NSMB and ALBW have gotten great reviews, but I'm afraid ALBW will also lack heart as one reviewer put it. I think it looks like it was made by a committee or a marketing team trying to peddle nostalgia.

Other gaems I'm interested in are: DKCR (I love 2d platformers), Arkham Blackgate (I also like the Arkham stuff), Metal Gear 3d, Ocarina of Time (never played it yet), Super Princess Peach.

Is it worth it? Do you think ALBW will be good?

I love Battlefield. But the outspoken internet fanbase of Battlefield has been trying bash COD because of course you can't like both games. They are too similar so therefore you must choose a side. Like cats and dogs, you can only like one or the other. You can't like both Pepsi and CokeCola, you have to choose a side etc. 

The most common argument I hear is that COD Ghosts is the same as any COD game. This has some truth to it obviously but many game sequels tend to follow this same pattern. In that respect Mario is the same game. Sonic is the same game. 

This COD has the biggest reworked engine since the original modern warfare. The new multiplayer maps can be altered creating changes in gameplay. There are new modes available like cranked. A reworked sniper scope system. There is a new class system. You can create and customize soldiers. You can create squads. You can play as a women. You can play as a fucking dog. There are new kill steaks. There are new perks. Some battles take place in outer fucking space. There is a new extinction mode that lets you fight off aliens. Squad vs squad. Blitz mode. Safeguard. Wargame. Search and rescue.

Again, I love Battlefield. but can someone tell me how exactly is Battlefield 4 different from Battlefield 3 that is SO drastic it makes it a completely different game?

I'm already set on lots of tubes to pump more power through the case, and I got tons of fans to cut up all the bugs that are gonna want to get in my hot rig, but I can't figure out the proper lighting setup.
 I bought LEDs of all kinds because I forgot which I need to put on to make it the fastest. Is it:

Blue makes it cooler
Red makes it faster
and Green makes it eco-friendly?
or does Red make it HOTTER and Green make it FASTER? 

I think the latter should be the case since sonic uses the power of emeralds to go fast.

Please help.

So, we have a stage from Super Mario Galaxy and a stage from Super Sonic Galaxy. I know Smash Bros has become merely the latest means to viral market the latest games in a franchise, but didn't they realize how redundant this is?

A stage based on Station Square would have been a lot better, fighting on the rooftops while Perfect Chaos and the Egg Carrier are in the background fucking shit up. Or the Death Egg Robot's arena from Sonic Generations with Death Egg Robot as the stage hazard. Anything would have been prferable to Good Egg Galaxy mkII with "GOTTA GO FAST!!" added.

Imagine a clamshell variant of this being released next year.

Not to mention that iOS already has lots of big-name titles like Phoenix Wright, Ghost Trick, 999, Sonic, Final Fantasy, Doom, Monkey Island, and The Walking Dead (among several others).

Also keep in mind that the most recent two iPhone models (5C and 5S) sold over nine million units combined on launch weekend.

It's over, Nintendo and Sony are finished.

Why are autistic people so drawn to sonic specifically as a character?

It seems only the most incredibly autistic players like sonic, play sonic and love sonic games - even going as far as writing Sonic fanfiction or naming themselves after a particular hedgehog archetype.

title: Polygon deliberately misinformed viewers of remote use on the Xbone vs. PS4
comment:
>This morning, gaming site Polygon is doing a twelve-hour live stream showing off the Xbox One.
>During this panel, site Editor-in-Chief Chris Grant stated a couple times that one advantage the Xbox One has over the PS4 is that the Xbox One supports remote controls and the PS4 does not. He even used the example that mom would want to use the Xbox One over the PS4 because she wouldn’t want to use the Dual Shock 4 to watch a movie. Later, he used the example of Netflix on how the Xbox One is a superior choice over the PS4 for Netflix because of remote support.
>The problem with these statements is that they are lies.
>The PlayStation 4, like the Slim PS3 before it, fully supports HDMI-CEC controls. While every TV manufacturer calls it something different, virtually every major television that is relatively recent supports it. Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Panasonic, LG, Hitachi, Toshiba, Philips, and component manufacturers like Onkyo all support this Consumer Electronics Control feature of HDMI. Due to HDMI-CEC, you can use your normal television remote control to operate the PS4.

Gonna get both of these tomorrow. And yeah, admittedly I know I will spend more time on 3D World, but I like Sonic and I'm glad it's trying out something different despite being very experimental. I made sure to get used to the controls and collected a bunch of lives in the eshop demo so I can the avoid frustration from the difficulty spikes (You can transfer save data from the demo).

I was also thinking of getting Mario & Sonic at the Sochi Olympic games to complete the link between the two worlds, but I changed my mind in favor for a 3DS game that does that better.

Oldfag here.

 Can we put a fucking stop to this immature Sonygger, Xbro, Nintendrone shit? It's not edgy. It's not funny. It's just inane shit, and /v/ doesn't have to be like this.

 A community like /v/ is composed of its userbase. Without you guys /v/ wouldn't exist, and, frankly, I'd have few places to go for fun, video game related content. We don't have to be children. Think about your favorite /v/ threads for a moment. What did they have in common? Vitriolic name calling? Rule 34 porn? Or maybe it was lengthy, coherent posts about video games you enjoyed? I'd bet it was the latter.

 I know it can be a lot of fun, and, to be honest, I really enjoyed the Tortanic threads and I even threw around Biodrone with great relish, but the thing is, I kind of had to. We all did. Tortanic was different not because we're hate-fueled, mean-spirited gamers, but because we were being ignored by a company that we once loved. BioWare made a lot of the games that the Oldfags, such as myself, really enjoyed. There was a time when a lot of us bought every BioWare release day-one because we trusted the company. It was nerds making games for nerds and it felt pretty good. After the EA buyout that changed. We felt ignored, and even betrayed. Tortanic was a response to that. It was catharsis.
 Biodrones were those rabid fans that were the antithesis of oldschool dnd nerds. They were Gamerz, and depressing obsessive types. What's worse is that they used to just hangout on the BiowareForums(which were very tightly controlled and moderated to eliminate ANY dissenting opinion. This is the drone aspect.

Sonygger/Xbro/Nintendrone isn't the same thing. It's just hollow stupidity that brings us all down. Not everyone likes what you like, and a some people even like other things. That's ok....

Well unless it's Impreg Yuri Sonic R34 slashfiction. In that case keep it to your geocities page you sick fuck.

Worst of all, and yet again, sonic is slow as fuck. I think this definitely deserves the 6-7/10 scores. I do not see where people saying it's "mario galaxy sonic version" comes from because itstotally not that. Because Mario galaxy is actually a good game.

Please tell me the WiiU version doesn't suck this much ass, because if it's basically the same I cant say I have hope for sega to continue the reason quality streak they had.

The year is 2017. Disney is noticing that its Marvel Cinematic Universe is beginning to fade, with titles like "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Planet Hulk" being beaten out by Warner Bros' "King of the Seas" and "Emerald Twilight." They believe that they're losing because DC heroes are seen as fresh and new, so they decide to go fresh and new themselves. They end the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet, and buy the rights to Nintendo Movies, one of the hardest film negotiations in history, with the intentions of creating a Nintendo Cinematic Universe, an NCU.

2020 brings The Legend of Zelda, essentially an adaptation of Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past, all while avoiding over complicated timelines, a film that many looked forward to with incredibly cautious optimism, and turned out a wild success.
2021 brought Metroid, an adaptation of Zero Mission. After The Legend of Zelda, most fans knew that this would be damn fine, and the movie also hinted towards Star Fox. 
2021 gave the biggest property the rights had to offer, the Pokemon movie, it focused on Red and Lance taking down Team Rocket, rather than a league story, a loose adaptation of Crystal with Red replacing Gold.
2022 had the hardest of the entire NCU, Super Mario, a movie that mostly relied on visuals and fun, a plain and simple adventure story that ended in a fight against Bowser.
2022 also gave the sequel to the wildly acclaimed Legend of Zelda, Majora's Mask, a straightforward adaptation of the game.
2023 had only one movie, but it was the one that people were waiting for since 2019. Super Smash Bros. It recapped the story of The Subspace Emissary from Super Smash Bros Brawl, and reunited countless Nintendo characters, excluding Sonic The Hedgehog and Snake due to licensing concerns.

Was Sonic ever good?

After playing through all of the Sonic games, I've got to say that while there were some decent games but nothing to really go fanboy over.

Whenever I hear about how newer Sonic games "ruined" the franchise, it makes me scratch my head. Sonic has always been clunky and awkward. In the early Sonic games, you basically held down the run button until you crashed into something. Then there was some light platforming before you could just run really quick again.

I keep seeing people praise this game, and all they say when I ask them why they like it is because of "City Trial".

This is akin to Sonic Adventure 2 being thoroughly liked because of "Chao Garden".

Does 1 feature in a game really make it worthy or note as a whole?

Not in my opinion it doesn't.

Why is the 3rd installment USUALLY the most technical, polished, and varied?

The one that all other sequels tend to imitate or try to surpass.

Or occasionally, go as far as re-inventing the series(despite heavy criticism) rather than try to add to what some might consider masterpieces.

>Regardless of what the Wii U could lead to, it's what it is that makes it either a must-own or a still-okay-to-not-have. Had the exclusive Sonic Lost World been great rather than skippable, maybe it'd have been a must-own. Had its Virtual Console library matched the one on Wii instead of starting over...had its operating system been upgraded to eradicate, rather than simply diminish, the several-second delays between performing basic functions... this all adds up to the same call I gave the console last year when I answered the question of whether you have to have a Wii U: Not yet.

www.screwattack.com/news/another-day-where-more-new-sonic-xtreme-footage-found

A new video of "The Anit-Gravity Room" has recently surfaced on the now-Google+ infected YouTube. The video contains previews for the then-upcoming Nintendo 64 and upcoming titles like NiGHTs Into Dreams, but it also contains footage of Sonic Xtreme.

Sonic Xtreme is, or rather, was going to be the first Sonic title in 3D for the SEG Saturn. Unfortunately, very little was ever revealed about it and it was eventually canceled. Its cancelation is often considered to be one of the main reasons the SEGA Saturn failed in the 32-bit era.

Stuff like this is wonderful to discover, both as what could have been but also as a part of gaming history. It's always fascinating to see new information and footage never before seen like the elusive Sonic Xtreme and Shantae Advance.

Plus it's good to know us Canadians got the scoop on this.

Guys, I think OCRemix might be losing its edge. I have yet to find a song I like in these. I mean the JP Boss remix is nothing but a heavy metal riff and a guy screaming the lyrics. In fact so far everything has vocals from people younger than the source voices trying to mimic it badly. Even Wacky Workbench JP was turned into a rap. 

This is coming from someone who LOVED Knuckleduster. I thought it was sung badly as a joke which made it hilarious, but now I see they were trying to give their honest effort.

The rules are as follows: you must answer all ten correctly, you may use any method you see fit, be it google, wikipedia, didyouknowgaming, or just stealing the answers from people who are smarter than you. I will not use two answers from the same game/source (i.e. if answer 1 is Sonic, answer 6 will not be Green Hill Zone etc.). If you'd like to keep up with the game, as well as get notifications of when new ones happen, or see the answers when they're over, join the Steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RiddleTime
You can also add me on Steam (el_toastio) if you want to talk during/after the game, or if you just want to repeatedly call me a faggot, or unsuccessfully attempt to get free games/the answers by showing me sweet nudes of your "girlfriend".

All of the games will reach the Instant Game Collection of PlayStation Plus throughout December, although Sony has not mentioned the exact timings.

Sony did not mention anything about its PlayStation Plus offerings for the PS4, with the service currently offering free downloads of Resogun and Contrast.

Additionally, Sony also says that US customers will be able to pick up, while stocks last, a 12 month subscription to PlayStation Plus for $29.99 from Amazon, GameStop, Walmart, Toys R Us, and Best Buy on Black Friday

title: The real reason Sonic games aren't good anymore
comment:
Many people remember Sonic as being a really fast version of Mario, and in some ways it was. However, what many people forget is that the original 3 games had quite a complex physics mechanic which I believe is what really made the core gameplay fun. Notice that if you build up speed, let go of the controller and start jumping Sonic will retain his momentum. If Sonic jumps while on an incline, he will jump relative to the ground normal. If Sonic is going down hill, his velocity will increase more rapidly overtime, and will likewise slow down uphill. The famous loop-de-loop, which nowadays is a simple scripted path event, was achieved purely through complex physics code. If you're a programmer, try to replicate the physics of the old Sonic games and you will appreciate their complexity, even more so that the games were written in Assembly.

When Sonic transitioned into 3D, only some of these elements were kept. Sonic still gained speed downhill, but didn't retain much air momentum to compensate for handling in 3D. However, after the first 2 Adventure games, all of the nice physics based nuances were gone. Notice this is also the same time Sonic games stopped being good. Hmmmm!

Why do people think Sonic CD is a fun game let alone the best Sonic game?

The screen is focused far too close on you so you don't know when coming next, and Sonic is so fast it's absolute disorientating. 

This is not how you implement speed in games at all.


Beyond the pretty cutscene and catchy music this game is almost unplayable bad due to rotten gameplay.

He was better than Sonic in every way. He had comparable speed to Sonic, could fly a plane, swim, fly, spindash, use the same powerups, and kill enemies with the same efficiency.

Also when will they bring back his method of accelerating with his Tails propelling him? 

Reviving Sonic isn't just about Sonic. It's about Tails and Knuckles as well. Forget Blaze, forget Shadow, forget all these other fags. It's too convoluted. The only other characters who should exist are Robotnik and Team Chaotix.

I'm pretty sure my nephew has autism.

I think he's years old now?(Still being potty trained)
He's not very verbally communicative. When he does say something, he usually repeats what someone else says a few times in succession. But he's not afraid of people, in fact he likes being close and holding hands and such.

He's premature, so there have been some development issues. Still, I'm worried because the thing he's REALLY into, is Sonic. My brother(the father), is completely normal. He's just enthusiastic about video games, and one of the games we grew up playing is Sonic. So he still keeps up with the series. The boy loves it more than anything else. And it's worrying. No one seems to want to talk about the possibility that he's autistic. When the signs are there. I don't know what to do. Can I steer the kid in another direction. He seems like he could be helped, if someone would only divert his attention away from autistic things like the Sonic fanbase.

As a little project, I'm planning on taking someone else's old platform level maker they made in Flash and using it in a standalone title. Don't worry, I got permission from the maker).

Once I begin doing so, though, I will need to decide which character the player will control.

What should I do?
>Make an original character donut steal and try to fill in the void for OUYA's mascot
>Make Chris-Chan's dreams come true and make the main character Sonichu
or
>Put Ratboy in as the main character and make the first ever Ratboy Genius game

Which one? Or do you have another suggestion?

Hey /v/, I need some help.
I have a [spoiler]girlfriend[/spoiler] that doesn't play a particularly large number of video games, but says that she enjoys it when we get to play them together, so, that's where you come in.
I need some solid co-op games for the Xbox 360, PS3, or PC (If PC, low requirements, her PC is absolutely terrible).
The only games she's ever really played are the original Sonics, Animal Crossing, a few of the Wii Mario games, and tidbits of Spelunky and FF7. She's by no means clueless, but she certainly isn't good at videogames, so nothing too challenging please.
Thanks.

Lets be serious about Sonic for one sec.

Is all the characters in the universe supposedly fast, but obviously Sonic is the fastest? I can understand Shadow, because his speed is rivaled to Sonic. Silver, because he can use his psychic to propel himself forward. but I can't understand playable characters like Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Espio, you get the main idea.

title: Nintendo at VGX
comment:
I'm working with NoA on set up for the VGX Awards and while this probably won't come as a surprise to a lot of people, Nintendo is going to be releasing a special trailer for Super Smash Bros. Wii U during the award show.

I say Wii U because as of this edit, there's no 3DS footage (and actually there's very little Wii U footage too since most of the trailer is pre-rendered).

The "trailer" starts off with the Wii Fit Trainer weighing in Mario and Link. As they walk up to the balance board, they are only seen in silhouette but are revealed when they turn around to face the camera. A third character then walks up to the balance board, says "My Body is Ready" and when he turns around, the camera zooms up and it's revealed to be Reggie's Mii and the phrase "Mii joins the melee!" appears.

There are a few brief snippets of Reggie's Mii fighting DK and Villager on the Pilotwings stage, using the sword from Wii Sports Resort on the Wily Castle stage, whacking someone with a microphone stand on Battlefield, and summoning a bunch of Miis to stampede over Mega Man, Mario and Sonic on top of the Nintendo Land spire. The logo for the two games appears and a generic date of Spring 2014 is given.

That's all I know and I am pretty sure Reggie will be introducing the trailer before its reveal. 

There will also be a trailer of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze showcasing Cranky Kong as a playable character that Reggie will introduce later in the show. 

Have fun waiting.

>The first item for sale by Ken Penders related to The Lara-Su Chronicles, now cleared for business after a settlement with Archie Comics earlier this year, will not be the comic itself. Instead, last week Penders promoted on his website an embroidered patch, three inches in diameter, with Royal Secret Service Strategic Acorn Ops in big, bold, and gold letters on the diameter.

>“It’s a fully embroidered patch, 3″ in diameter, featuring the emblem worn by Geoffrey St. John and members of the Royal Secret Service on their berets, jackets and vests, similar in style and manner to the patches worn by the US Military, as will be seen in THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES,” Penders explains. “The goal with this product and others yet to come is to allow readers an opportunity to become part of the world the characters and settings exist in.”

>“While many may have been expecting a comic book or a sneak preview of the actual graphic novel or a T-shirt or poster featuring a favorite character, those are yet to come. For now, as I said, I’m just starting small and building to something bigger,” Penders said.

>The patches, which retail for $8 plus shipping costs, will begin shipping on Saturday. Orders can be made at Penders’s website, at the above cited link. As for when the comic itself turns up, we will keep an eye out.

I'd say it was worth it though. Super Sonic is awesome. Not to mention I just 100% the hardest platformer released this gen. That sense of accomplishment when you beat a hard game is nice.

The people who are trying to push gaming as art is the reason why it is dying. 
Gaming used to be about gameplay. Pong, Pacman, Space invaders. All of them featured no real story and focused on things like challenge, difficulty and most of all fun. They were what popularized gaming, it was seen as great entertainment for anyone. As time went on story was put into games, in small amounts. The story was never put ahead of the gameplay. Things like Legend of Zelda or Sonic both had a good story but it never compromised the gameplay. But now as it went further, gameplay began to be seen as equal to a good story. And now people are pushing gameplay aside in favour of story. Gone Home is but one of the offenders. But does it get the shame it should for being a game without gameplay? No, and you know why? Because it's "deep" and "artistic". The more gaming is pushed as art the more it will devolve into the meaningless drivel like so called modern artists put out. Gameplay will become second fiddle to shoehorned meanings in games. And it won't be pushed away, no it will be embraced. It will be seen as the way to make games and it will gain a ground. Gaming is dying. And if you are one of the people who think gaming should be art, you're the reason it is dying.

The cast is pretty shit, since I dont care about Sonic, but that doesn't matter. Levels are fun and the game works. And there ain't that many kart games on PC. 

I heard from few friends that speed stat doesn't really matter that much and boost is more important, so I have been playing Beat, Shogun and Football Manager. Just finished the career mode on hard (I have something like 165 stars or so), and I'd need to replay all levels on extreme.

It's only 5 bucks, (15 for the 4 pack) and I was going to see if I could get a bro on /v/ to gift it to my brother and I so we can play together, we're totally broke.

I hope this isn't like taboo or something, I just wanna have some fun with my bro when we're struggling financially.

So I've saved up 50 bucks and I have an option for Wii U games. 

Basically, I can get any 1 Wii U game, or several cheaper older games for Wii U. 

50 bucks covers it because of Best Buy's deals on eShop cards which lets you get 20 dollar cards for 16 each (look it up). As such I can do that and download SM3DW or get several others. Which should I get? I have: 

>Sonic Lost World (Digital)
>Lego City Undercover (Digital)
>The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Digital)
>Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 (Retail)

So is the game worth it? I wanted to get it but couldn't afford to at the time. AC4, Pikmin 3, and W101 are also on my radar. What should I get?

>b-but muh emulation!
If the original consoles didn't exist, neither would the games you emulate.

>b-but muh grafx!
Playing video games for such a shallow reason as graphics is stupid as hell. No one cares if it's 1080p native or 720p native except PCfags who are grasping at straws to help them feel superior. As long as the game looks nice and runs smoothly, these technical aspects are not at all an issue. Also don't forget your endless petitions to bring games to PC

Discuss.

So I'm playing Sonic Adventure 2 on my gamecube and started off with hero mode. I've completed about 4 or 5 stages now and have gone to the chao garden at the end of every stage. The problem is that every time I get access to the chao garden, the 2 chao are back in their eggs. Did I glitch something somehow and have to start a new game? I tried leveling up one of the chao before leaving, and that didn't work. I then tried leaving the chao garden with one of the chao and it just took me to the next stage (I forgot how the chao school/doctor/etc. is unlocked). So what am I doing wrong? Why aren't my chao being saved?

Sonic Lost World patch is up and ready to go.

For any of you that own the game and care about it still here is what the patch will be fixing and/or correcting:

-Indigo Asteroid, Crimson Eagle, Orange Rocket, and Black Bomb can be controlled with the Analog stick, not the Gamepad.

-100 Rings Grants an extra life. So there's a reason to get them now.

-Game Overs and continues give you Ten Lives instead of Five.

-Fixed a rare graphical issue that would sometimes appear during the pinball section of the Frozen Factory casino area.

-When completing the NiGHTMARE DLC, users will be notified that they can re-play it after scoring 100,000 points.

-Items will now appear on the world map.

Hopefully this suits a couple of peoples needs.

In addition, they decreased the overall difficulty of the game and re-introduced 100 rings = 1up (which really should have been there in the first place), as well as giving you 10 lives when you get a game over, instead of 5.

People were screaming and turned toward the building behind us. I grabbed my son's head and turned. It missed my head by six inches. All I am is lucky."

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/play-a-lost-sonic-the-hedgehog-2-level-in-new-mobile-version/1100-6416674/

A new, remastered version of vintage platformer Sonic the Hedgehog 2 includes a new level that was never finished in time for the original game's release.

The new version of the iOS and Android version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will include a completed Hidden Palace Zone, reports Joystiq, with the remastered mobile version of the game being developed by Sonic Retro duo Simon Thomley and Christian Whitehead.

Chunks of the level have been discovered by people digging through the game's ROM files, with common belief that the Hidden Palace Zone was a level designed to highlight Sonic's transformation into Super Sonic after collecting all seven of the game's chaos emeralds.

The Android version of Sonic 2 is now available on the Google Play store for $2.99. The new version of the game also contains a boss rush mode, and the option to play as Knuckles--a bonus that was originally offered when users combined the Sonic 2 and Sonic & Knuckles cartridges.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was originally released for the Sega Genesis in 1992. It was (and still is) brilliant and I will arm wrestle anyone who says otherwise.

I just finished this game, as a dare from a friend who didn't make it past the first chapter.

I am pretty angry about it, so I think I'll post a paragraph rant here where no one will read it.

This entire story is basically David Cage's creepy Ellen Page fanfiction. She has NO agency in the game at all, from everything that happens, none of it is specifically her fault. If anything in the game is even hinted as being a direct cause of her actions, she's immediately absolved of any blame afterwards by other character betraying or backstabbing her. The one time in the game I thought she was going to have to own up to the fact she screwed up, it's immediately whisked away as not her fault. It doesn't help that her entire personality is "OH I AM SUCH A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE WHICH IS WHY EVERYONE HATES ME OH BLOO BLOO BLOO :^(". Her entire existence in the game being to have everyone else comment on what a special snowflake she is and how everyone hates her because they are jealous of her special snowflake powers. 

This is David Cage's version of Sonic fanfiction. Where Jodie the hedgehog has to fight against the evil GUN with William Defoe the goblin and friends. Fuck every person right now on tumblr, on twitter, on IGN, on every site who says that this game is anything but a pile of shit.

title: The Maw download codes
comment:
Alright guys, here's the poop. I went to McDonald's today and discovered they were doing a promotion for the XBox One, gave me these little 'you can win one' things. I ended up getting two download codes for The Maw on 360. I don't play 360, so, I thought I'd bring them here.

I'd like to get a little something in return, however, even though these codes are literally worthless. I'm not asking much, all I want is a copy of Sonic CD on steam. If you wanna work something out, drop your steam name, and let's have a chat.

When I was 10 years old, a friend and I were huge Sonic fans.

We created a Sonic card game, based primarily on the 2 Sonic games we played the most, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Advance. I continued adding to the game, off and on, after I moved away, for what was probably a good 6 years or so. 

I recently rediscovered them. Autism scales are off the fucking charts.

Alright, I've heard so many varied opinions form reviewers, random comments, friends, you name it. I just played the demo of Sonic Lost World on the 3DS [spoiler]too poor for a Wii U yet[/spoiler] and honestly it feels like a great game. It sounds and looks like one too, and I actually had some fun. For people here who've played it, what's your opinions on the newest Sonic Game? Good, bad, in the middle? Too much experimenting?

>Not too much emphasis on jumping and platforming
>No talking
>Replayability

Hello. /v I'm looking for some new games I've never played before for Christmas. Based off of some of my favorite games of all time, what would you recommend I try out? There's a lot of games I've never played before (MGS, Silent Hill, RS, Luigi's Mansion, Kirby, Metroid, Devil May Cry, FF games besides X, Tales of, Sonic, and that's just to name a few). Also, I guess you can rate my preferences.

Hello. This is information on the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game for WiiU and 3DS. 

Zelda is the next veteran to be revealed. She closley resembles her Melee pallette-swap from Brawl.

Luigi's forward smash does electric damage.

Link can shoot sword beams with certain attacks.

Kirby can perform a Super Inhale.

One of Sonic's spin-dash attacks automatically bounces off the opponent's head.

Villager has a female costume. She looks like the one on City Folk's boxart.

There are new stages based on Lor Starcutter, Tetris, Donkey Kong Jr, and Pac-Man.

Ridley is a stage enemy on Pyrosphere.

Animal Island from New Leaf has sharks as stage enemies.

E-tank, Cannon Block, and the Monado are new items.

Bowser Jr. and The Comet Observatory appear on the Mario Galaxy stage.

All assist trophies are returning except Lakitu.

There are no roster cuts. Every veteran is going to return.

Shadow the Hedgehog is going be confirmed to return as an assist trophy this Friday.

Do you guys realize that the multiplayer system in Dragon's Dogma is likely what means it will never be available on any future platforms? Just PS3 and 360.

With classic game re-releases or emulation, you can play those old classics like Mario World or Sonic 2 or FFX. But the multiplayer component, setting up servers to manage all the pawn stuff just for a re-release will put off Capcom from ever re-releasing the game, despite the fact that its single player component is beautiful and deserves to be experienced in the future. And of course they can't just re-release it without the online functionality; that'd just seem like they gutted it and wouldn't look good on them. So they'll ignore the game and just hope people go buy Dragon's Dogma 3 or whatever, but it won't be the same game or the same world.

Isn't this kind of problematic? Just think of all the future people who will never get the joy of Dragon's Dogma, simply because they weren't into games at the right time or the right age.

By adding this multiplayer system to a primarily single player game with single player beauty, they turn the game into this ephemeral thing that can't survive in the future on other platforms because there's too much overhead for them to re-release it in any way similar to its original form. It's something that only lives for today and not tomorrow, no matter how beautiful it is.

Consoles have produced more good games, objectively, than the PC. With this fact in mind, how can PCfags consider themselves the "master race"?

Let's get these out of the way right now though:

>b-but muh emulation!
If the original consoles didn't exist, neither would the games you emulate.

>b-but muh grafx!
Playing video games for such a shallow reason as graphics is stupid as hell. No one cares if it's 1080p native or 720p native except PCfags who are grasping at straws to help them feel superior. As long as the game looks nice and runs smoothly, these technical aspects are not at all an issue.

Discuss.

So, in terms of gameplay, Sonic games are all over the place, ranging from good platformers to broken, buggy, unfinished messes.
But what about story and general feel to them?
In my opinion, the only games that had a good and original plot and atmosphere were the original games on the MegaDrive/Genesis (+CD) and the first Adventure.
Without saying anything about the actual gameplay, Adventure 1 felt like an actual continuation of the old games that expanded on the universe in a sensible way and just generally felt "right". Adventure 2 and all that came after felt like shitty fanfics that were trying too hard to be edgy and the recent games (post-Unleashed) just feel like your run off the mill saturday morning cartoon shows.

Vidya fun facts, trivia, easter eggs thread. Let's get this shit started.

>Sora from Kingdom Hearts was originally going to be a half human half lion hybrid and wielded a chainsaw

>Square wanted Mickey Mouse to be the protag of Kingdom Hearts. Disney wanted Donald Duck to be the protag. Tetsuya Nomura wanted neither so he then created Sora

>Sonic was originally going to have a blonde human girlfriend but North America Sega told Japan Sega that the idea was "too Japanese" so they forced them to drop the idea

>Pokemon Gold and Silver were originally going to be the final Pokemon game. GameFreak wanted to go out with a bang thus packing as much content in the Gameboy Color cartridge as they could.

For those of you wondering if it's possible to have fun in LoL, let me share my story.

The game had gotten stale for me since I started playing Dota. I played since season 1 but now I find myself hating and criticizing it because of how lacking it is in comparison. I barely have fun. But then I decided to make a new account some time ago.

I wanted to do what I used to do, say obnoxious things to piss people off, then act offended when they tell me to stfu and reply by turning on my autohotkey scripts which automatically keep dive/suiciding, keep pinging every X amount of time, just long enough a delay to not get silenced, and constantly spam in the chat "LOLUMADBRO / ARE YOU UPSET" like 2x per second. However, I decided I'd try something else.

I wanted to be faster than sonic.

I spent the entire game talking all in caps like a retard and saying stupid shit like NO YOU STUPID EURASIAN DONT TOUCH MY BBY GRL every time an enemy would poke at miss fortune who was laning with me. As the game progressed and I started buying more speed items, i warned everbody that they were going to see the fastest thing on two legs this side of the mississippi.

Okay /v/,
I'm normally a pretty angry guy that dislikes all of our usual favorite things to dislike. But I bought this game for my little brother and decided I would beat it before I gave it too him instead of just letting it sit in the box and (contrary to what most of you guys said) it was not half baked, rushed, or overbearing at all. I actually enjoy the use of the Wii U game-pad in Sonic Lost Worlds and thought the level design made the game a lot of [spoiler]fun[/spoiler]. It's honestly the best sonic game I've played since adventure 2. So what's the deal /v/? am I a fluke, or is this a good game?

comment:
>ARK and Chaos
Already done. The Artificial Chaos were developed by Gerald based on his research on the Knuckles Tribe on Angel Island. And he got the design for Shadow from the mural depicting Super Sonic in the Hidden Palace Zone.

>Dark Gaia and the Lost Hex
It's possible the Lost Hex is a chunk of continent that didn't go back to earth when Sonic and Light Gaia fixed the planet. Although the presence of Yoshi's Island (or a part of it) may indicate it contains bits and parts from other worlds, and since the Wisps are there too (as well as a Hyrule-based zone we have yet to see), the whole place may actually be a crossroad leading to different worlds.

>Special Zones and Chaos
The Chaos Emeralds first rest on Angel Island. Chaos uses them. The Emeralds are sent to the special zone, which can be accessed from anywhere, although space distortions on South Island create a link to the special zone and allow the island to stay afloat thanks to the Chaos Emeralds' energy. The zone itself may have been created by the power Chaos released after turning into Perfect Chaos and wiping out the echidnas.

It's almost the end of the year.
Here we write what games we are looking forward to in 2014, hoping that they will not disappoint among some other things.

I'll start.
Most excited about:
- South Park: The Stick of Truth
- Oddworld: New'n'Tasty
- Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
- X (assuming it comes out 2014)

Also pumped up about:
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- Bayonetta 2
- Bravely Default
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Would like to see announced:
- Zero Escape 3 coming out 2014
- A third of the new Rayman games
- An announcement of a new Sonic game by the team who made Generations (it's already been more than 2 years)
- MGSV and FFXV coming to PC eventually
- Seeing a trailer for Zelda U (pretty much confirmed)

What about you, /v/?

Hello /v/.

This is Cinos. He is the Anti-Sonic. He works to destroy Sonic, all people who aren't edgy enough, and my parents. He hates my parents, and Shaun from school. He has a Super-Speedy-Schlong to defeat all evil. His Dibnocker is bigger than Sonic's Schwanglang. He uses a gun because he is the edgiest Hedgehog in the town, and he will get flames tatood on his body when he's Older. He can go faster than Sonic, and his shoes are edgy and have spikes on them. His best friends are Dr.Eggman and Shadow The Hedgehog. He has a robotic arm because his old one was lopped off with a blade of edgyness, increasing his coolness by 10 bajillionzeths.

So I finally decided to give Sonic Colors a try on Dolphin. Here are my initial thoughts:

1) How is it that Sega actually managed to make a good 3D Sanic and yet no-one really seems to talk about it? It's like Sonic Unleashed without the bullshit.

2) Why was this game only released on Wii? It looks stunning in HD and there are a lot of parts where I think being in 480p would have detracted from the experience. Also, given that this is actually a good 3D Sanic, you'd think Sega would have wanted it on as many systems as possible.

Why is Sonic Unleashed so fucking hard? Every fucking jump makes my heart skip a beat; this game feels like a fucking roller-coaster. The worst offender is by far the night sections. The swing/jump sections make me feel incredibly anxious. This game really plays with your nerves.

I was here Friday asking if Killer Is Dead was any good.

If anyone here right now is one of the ones who gave a positive recommendation and encouraged me to buy it, thank you so fucking much. I'm enjoying the game a ton. Even my wife has gotten really into watching me play (which I don't think happened since Vanquish came out).

The combat system is super simple, but to me, it feels really refined. It feels fluid, but Sonic fast. Everything about this game is something I've been wanting. I've been hopping from game to game, getting 20% of the way through and dropping it. I'm almost done with this one now and I'm already looking forward to getting good rankings and seeing if I actually want to get Platinum for it.

I wont bore you with how I arrived at this point but I recently bought a Mega Drive which came with the Sonic pack in. That worked well enough (need to flip the on-off more than once sometimes to get the game to load) so I bought 4 other games. They've all arrived and not a single one loads. Not even to the white text on black bit. I've cleaned the carts with methylated spirits as well as the cartridge slot using q-tips and still no luck, only Sonic works.

All the games are PAL, although one of the four says "Made in Japan" on the back (the rest say "Made in Australia, my region).

Any idea what I could do? I asked the seller and he said they were working when he checked but will offer a refund if it comes to that but I figure it must be a single point of failure if none of the four are working.

I'll provide any model numbers if that helps.

Honest civil discussion please. 

I'm starting to really wonder why I keep this thing. I originally got it for Tales of Vesperia but since then it feels that out of all my consoles and PC library, it's the most useless for exclusives. 

PC has picked up most 360 titles, and PS3 runs them more efficiently without worry of red ring. 

I can't really sell it either because nobody wants the damn thing for more then 20 bucks, and I really do value the data and time I've spent on Vesperia (12+ playthroughs up to unknown) (Yes I know of the PS3 Vesperia, but I can't do imports)

So I'd rather make use of what I can. What are some good fun, obscure 360 based games? I have no interest in Halo or CoD

My current library is:

Tales of Vesperia
Sonic 06 (For hillarity)
Prince of Persia (Because I can't fucking sell it)
Dead rising
Bayonetta

Anything else out there worth grabbing /v/?

title: Sonic Lost Worlds or Link Between Worlds?
comment:
I've liked most Sonic games, including even the ones commonly considered bad by even other sonic fans. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was arguably my first video game (it's a toss-up between that and NBA Jam for some reason) and I enjoyed most of the 2D Sonic's barring the XBLA remakes and Rush 2. I even enjoyed some of the games like Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog.

I've never finished a single player Zelda game. Farthest I've ever gotten was the third temple in the adult arc of Ocarina of Time. Water Temple is where I quit in Twilight Princess and Majora's Mask. I quit after getting 3 magical artifacts in Link's Awakening DX.

I only even finished Four Swords because of the multiplayer and when I got bored I could terrorize my friend while we progressed.

Anyway, my friend really highly recommends Link Between Worlds even knowing this.

Is Sonic Lost Worlds 3DS bad? Is Link Between Worlds so good that it would compel a non-zelda fan to play it?

Which ONE should I get?

Thanks for weighing in, /v/. I'm sure you'll have some very enlightening things to say.

I just got this a few days ago and damn it /v/ why is it so awful. 

This is basically a Mario game, and it's kind of an insult to the series just like 3D Land is an insult to the Mario franchise. I've played and beaten every Sonic game ever released so far save for this one and I must say it is quite lacking, especially with the music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eRuuvCxYNk

I'm on this shit right now and the platforming is tedious and the wisps are gimmicky and do not add effectively to the level design, flow, or gameplay. There is also no momentum and it just feels tedious.

Does it improve in the final stages? Am I missing something? Because so far it doesn't feel like a Sonic game at all.

Soul Sacrifice (Monster Hunter is better) 
Velocity Ultra (was on sale is a great smup) 
Persona 4 Golden (Good jrpg) 
Virtues last reward (I have to get the true ending in 999 first before I start the game) 
Guacamelee (great Metroidvania type of game) 
Sonic and Sega Transformed (Good Mario Kart game only the samba the amigo stage is terrible on vita) 

I've bought Dead or alive 5 plus and Killzone Mercenary so they should arrive soon. 
I've missed the Spelunky deal and don't want to spend 15? so I wait until it's on PS+ or cheap again. 
I only need a racing game for my Vita do you guys have any suggestions? 

On my Note 2 I'm playing a lot of DS games (DraStic emulator) and other games on a emulator like Snatcher. 
But I've also played GTA San Andreas (finished the story and drug wars), The cave, Shadowrun returns. and Rayman Fiesta run.

www.screwattack.com/news/update-ryo-hazuki-now-playable-character-sonic-all-stars-racing-transformedfor-ios-and-android

It turns out SEGA was teasing more than just Ryo Hazuki’s return to the Sonic & All-Stars Racing series, as the publisher revealed All-Stars Racing Transformed is now available for iOS and Android devices, with Ryo being a playable character on both platforms.

Other than Ryo's inclusion (and the inclusion of all of the handheld/console characters), these mobile versions feature 75 new events spread out over the game’s 13 courses, a new World Tour Mode, local and online multiplayer, and controller compatibility but in the case of Apple’s port, controllers only work if it’s downloaded to an iOS 7 device.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed can be downloaded from the Apple App and Goolge Play Stores for $5.

SEGA is still keeping quiet about Ryo being a new character for the other platforms but as previously reported the Shenmue protagonist was leaked as DLC for the PC version, so we should expect another update soon.

I know some fans doubt Ryo will be available for consoles and handhelds, which is understandable given the lack of support those versions have had but I doubt SEGA and developer Sumo Digital would keep the most demanded character exclusive to only three of the seven available markets. At least I hope they wouldn't.

Just two weeks after apparently being leaked during a Yogscast charity stream, the hero of SEGA’s cult classic slice of life and vengeance fueled kung-fu movie simulator Shenmue, has been confirmed to be the next DLC driver in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

The official confirmation of Ryo Hazuki’s upcoming placement on the roster comes from SEGA’s Twitter, which has posted two preview images, and if you thought his forklift vehicle from the original All-Stars Racing was weird, get a load of this:

Why did this game have to be so shit? the music is so typical A+ nintendo soundtrack levels of comfy, but the gameplay is just....disgusting

too much mario galaxy not enough sonic. the rail levels were by far the most fun and I would love a spin off game that deals exclusively with that type of gameplay.

Hey /v/, someone on /co/ posted this so I'm reposting it for you since it concerns vidya:

Hello, I am a storyboard artist working on the upcoming show Sonic Boom.
Because I know some of you are interested in that program today I will share some small factoids about the show.

Obviously, because this is all still subject to nondisclosure agreements, I won’t provide any evidence that could reveal who I am or lift a finger to prove what I say is true, fair warning, but if you’re still interested you can save this post and wait until March for the public reveal to compare.

-

For starters, Sonic Boom is essentially a relaunch of the Sonic franchise, a full reboot that SEGA intends to become the definitive version. All designs, character changes and plot devices are directions that come directly from them. The controversial Knuckles redesign? That’s all SEGA.

None of the previous games are canon, except the upcoming Wii U/3DS game.
Let me emphasize, I know basically nothing about the next Wii U game, so don’t bother asking about it, except that it will reveal the new origin story for Sonic and takes place before the events of this cartoon.

The premise of the show is about Sonic battling Eggman through time. Each episode Sonic and friends will travel to new locations and time periods to combat the mischief Eggman has caused in his attempts to rewrite history so he inherits the world. Eggman comes from the bad future, and Sonic comes from the good future.

I think that sounds pretty reasonable. Gone Home really isn't that bad. The real people to blame are the gaming sites that spun it out of control.

title: The Technological Plateau
comment:
When do you think we will reach the point in the video game industry where it stops being about innovation and pushing the tech to its limits and becomes more about pure design?

When do you think developers will stick with the optimal format for their games and franchises instead of trying to incorporate them into the latest technological trends?

For instance:
>the optimal format for Zelda is top-down, overhead view
>the optimal format for Sonic is sidescrolling
>the optimal format for Final Fantasy is turn-based with static camera angles for environments and a free-roam world map
>the optimal format for Resident Evil is static camera angles with limited ammo
And so on.

As new leaps in tech have been offered throughout the generations, developers have always adapted their series to take advantage of what new possibilities that tech enables. Do you think we're finally reaching the point where the leaps in tech are so insignificant that devs will focus instead on perfecting and honing the essence of the games themselves?

The platforming is awkward and full of blocks and not satisfying. There's no flow. It feels nothing like a Sonic title. The music is subpar. The dialouge is terrible.

So I've got 75 bucks for Wii U games. What should I get? This is my Library

Call Of Duty Black Ops 2
Super Mario 3D World
LEGO City Undercover
Sonic Lost World (underrated)
The Legend Of Zelda The Wind Waker HD (cant finish, probably for lack of music to keep me interested)
Megaman X 
Kirby's Adventure (buyer's remorse)
Edge (cant get into)
Super Mario World (not as good as I remember)

I've had my eyes on W101 and Black Flag. Alternatively, I've found a deal on a red 2DS, 50 bucks. I'd much rather an XL or actually much rather a standard 3DS since i owned one for a bit and actually like the 3D. But it's a good deal and I could get a game with the rest. Any good deal on Wii U games? it probably ends up as a 2DS with one game or many games for Wii U. I didnt play much last year/holiday so multiplats are welcomed.

Sony are THE pioneers of the BluRay.
Sony is one of the companies who developed and first started pushing for commercially viable 4K TVs
Sony is already pushing for 8K

The problem is people are hard to warm up to revolutionary tech and will not buy it until it becomes the standard, which is very fucking hard to achieve in the age of uneducated consumerism.

Sony just keeps pushing forward and being at the forefront of technological advancement, whether or not it's commercially viable, whether or not its destined to succeed or fail, they just want to revolutionize and revolutionize. 
Nobody fucking thought that a BluRay console was a good idea, not even Sony. But they did it anyway because they don't care about failing, they care about showing the people what the fuck they've accomplished as of yet.

Sony is the techno-shepard of the people. Sony will push forward if it means its downfall.
If tomorrow new tech is discovered, called XX-1000 TRIPLE UBER RedRay and it blows the BluRay out of the water tenfold, you can be sure the PS5 will have that technology even if it means the console itself will cost $2000.

This is why people either immensely hate or fucking love Sony. They don't care if you can't afford it or not. They don't play around. They want to be the best technological revolutionaries in the World and they will make sure you're fucking aware of it. 

Sony IS Technology. Not fucking Samsung, or fucking Apple, or Panasonic. 
Sony IS the father of all Tech-Advancement.

Greg Martin, the prolific artist behind some of the most memorable and iconic video game box art, including artwork for early Sonic and Pac-Man games, has died.

The news comes from the Nintendo Age forums, where a friend of Martin recalled his illustrious career as an artist.

Martin started off working at Tom & Jerry and The Flintstones animation studio Hanna Barbera, before switching to the games industry. He reportedly worked there at the same time Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane did.

His long list of video game box art credits include various Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man games, as well as numerous licensed games from the Jetsons and Flintstones franchises.

You can check out a collection of his work at the Nintendo Age forums.

I'm here to tell you gentlemen a story of my conquest. I assure you, this IS about video games.

Over Christmas I got a $100 Visa Gift card. Now I really hate these things because unlike gift cards at most regular stores you can't just easily empty them without knowing the exact balance, so I try to just spend it all in one purchase that leaves it with just a few bucks that I certainly won't miss.

Now Amazon also fucked up and didn't get me some of my christmas stuff on time (I have prime, so they double fucked up) and they credited my account with a free $20 gift certificate.

So there I was with $120 to go through and a few things I wanted to buy.

But first things first I was in dire need of a large SD card to use as a bit of a second storage drive in my laptop. Something to just hold music and pictures, mostly. I added that to my cart and went to look for games.

Long story short, I added Sonic: Lost World for the 3DS because I enjoyed the the demo and wanted to play it (and also because I love having actual copies even if swapping out games is a little annoying sometimes but FUCK digitial especially with nintendo not having a real account system) and I also added Cory in the House. You know, because I wanted to own a copy.

Well as I was checking out Amazon informed me that I could no longer buy from the seller that I had selected for my last game.

My total at the time? Roughly $119.xx

Fucking every level has some little bullshit trophy that you can pick up and as far as I can tell, do nothing with. Searching through google seems hopeless because there's so much Chao documentation that everything is a keyword when combined with "sonic adventure 2" and will always yield 7000 results that are either meticulous genetic research or weird fanfic.

If they ever decided to make a Sonic Adventure 3 how would you guys want it?

-What would the story be (it would involve the chaoes emeralds and maybe master emerald of course)?
-What characters would it feature and which would you play as (any ideas for new characters?)?
-What kind of music would you want (would there be more lyrics like in 2?)?
-How would the Chao Garden be (if you think there absolutely shouldn't be one then you suck)?
-How would the gameplay be tweaked (I could make a pretty sizable list on how they made 2 worse with their changes, but some things were better too)?

I'll think up my answers to these questions in a bit.

I've had to come to terms with the simple truth.

Sonic has never been great. The design and speed of the levels has always been poorly handled and deep down you know this too.

Harsh truth for me who has always loved sonic, and my first video game was Sonic 2. I long considered Sonic 3 and Knuckles to be one of my favorite games, but it only remains so because of nostalgia.

The music of the 2D era was amazing and the levels themselves had cool settings, the bosses were also always fun. But the levels themselves, the vast majority of the game was not fun. You simply travel too fast to property dodge enemies and traps. Memorization is the name of the game.

Hi.

I'm trying to build my first PC so I can ascend to the master race, but I'm feeling nervous about my choices of parts. I was told to put a bit more cash into what I already had since I wanted to play on medium/high settings with a solid 60fps.
I'm also animating a lot and plan to do 3D models too, so I'm not sure what would be best for that.

I'm getting

I've climbed high and low of shitty video game communities from roleplaying naruto games, fgc, competitive smash brothers, and shitty mmos. Never have I seen such concentrated literal autism since I have been seeing agdq. I don't follow the speedrunning community, but i've seen many TAS before. I have no problem with having extensive knowledge of a video game down to the frames and what not. These speedrunners are sonic levels of autism. The awkward kissing, the failed jokes, the nervous commentary, the clear lack of social skills etc. They are like the friends that even smashfags and furries don't hang out with holy shit. Any reason why?

So why Dimps/Sonic Team didn't make Sonic Rush completely in 2D like Sonic Advance/Battle/Pinball Party? (also look at the enemies in game)

Remember this (pic related)?

Plus, the 2.5D sprites in Rush looks like shit compared to the enemies in game (which looks way better) and Sonic Advance, it's like they trying to copy Donkey Kong Coutry in a shitty way...

I don't know why they took a step down further?

comment:
Good evening /v/. I thought very hard about posting this, but feel it's only fair that you all know the information I do. Recently I got invited to a private Nintendo demonstration, where I got to experience a more developed presentation of the game. Keep in mind this was the Wii U version of the game, and I did not get to play the game hands on. A few Nintendo representatives did play two matches for us however. The demo started on the character select screen. Everyone announced so far was there, however Sonic and Megaman were not on the roster for some reason. In addition there were some familiar faces. Wario, Metaknight, King Dedede, Diddy Kong, and Lucas were there. Oddly Yoshi was not present in this build. In addition to the characters above, we got a glimpse at several new characters. Dixie Kong and Little Mac were on there. Each match was a 2 minute KO fest. The presenters selected Mario, Zelda, Villager and King Dedede for the first match. They didn't stay on the stage select screen for long, so I didn't get to make note of all of the stages present, however they did select a new stage. Keep in mind the text was in japanese and I couldn't read the name of it, but it had the kirby logo. The stage took place on this light blue flying ship, with oars on the side. I haven't played any of the new Kirby games so I have no idea what its from. Reminded me of the windwaker stage from brawl. With the battle I noticed a few key things about some of the characters. Mario seemed to play similar to the way he did in brawl. Also his waterpack is still in the game. King Dedede seemed pretty similar as well, although I noticed he can now throw a guy that attacks with a spear. Zelda was pretty similar too. Her magic attacks were still there, and she turned into Sheik mid match. Didn't look any different than brawl. The Villager seemed pretty need. he was able to pocket marios fire ball. At one point he planted a tree, which grew shortly after and hit Dedede in the air.

I have a question, /v/

Why are people with varying degrees of autism instantly regarded as bronies or sonic the hedgehog fans? Does /v/ seriously believe that the majority of people with autism are retards? or is it a way of typecasting an entire sub-group of people using confirmation bias?

I have aspergers syndrome, which lies on the autism spectrum but have no urge to play absolute trash bright colour porn like Sonic the Hedgehog or any moon bullshit, I, like many of my other friends prefer to play grittier, darker games like Metal Gear Solid, Ninja Gaiden or Dark Souls.

Is it possible for /v/ to cut it out with the stereotyping of "sperglords" or is this something that will constantly plague /v/ like the immature usage of the word nigger?

So as we all know by now, Christian Weston Chander, AKA Chris Chan, AKA the creator of "Sonichu"' left a fucking coffee maker on in a downstairs bathroom and his house burned down. Yes he's an idiot and we've trolled him a ton, but damnit we're not A-logs. I've set up an amazon wishlist for him and his mother to help them get back on their feet (or in Chris's case, on his feet to begin with) and I'm sharing the link in the image here (since spamguard is a nazi). There's some serious items, some troll items and thread here for you to call me an asshole.

Guys. I just had an idea. A horrible one, but one i must share with you nonetheless.

What if the 3DS and WiiU versions of smash bros have different playable charachters...BUT the same roster. 

example.
 WiiU and 3DS will both have Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong Link, Samus, Fox, Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Marth

WiiU will be able to unlock Wiifit girl, Zelda, Olimar, Villager, Bowser and Rosalina

3DS will be able to unlock Megaman, Marth, Sonic, Toon Link, Kirby, Pit

AND you will only be able to play each set of unlocks on each system. WHAT IF THEY DO THIS?

I am stuck between a Wii U and a ps3. Both are in my cart.

It is for my kid brother (15) and I. I intend to delete one.

One is a gta V ps3 slim bundle, and the other is a windwaker hd bundle with mario 3d world and Sonic at the olympic games (will trade in for wonderful 101 though). 

A part of me wants a ps3 so I can play MGS4 and Final Fantasy XIII , XIII-2 and Lightning Returns (even though I have beaten the first two, I get obessive about JRPGs) and GTA V. The LoU also looks good. 

I want a Wii U for Mario 3d World, W101, pikmin, donkey kong, X and new Smash. 

Both are similarly priced. What do you think is the best investment?

We already have a decent gaming PC. I am at uni most of the year, and only play games when I come back home really, except for the occasional game on my laptop (which is becoming a chromebook next year anyway)

Let's say the next game is like Melee and every series gets two stages (except Mario which will probably get around 4 again.) 
I'll just put the Wii U ones we know down, you can change it if you want to do 3DS instead. What stages would you want?

Mario: Mario Galaxy,
Zelda: Skyloft, 
Pokemon:
Kirby:
DK:
Animal Crossing: Smashville 2, 
Mother:
FE:
F-Zero:
G&W:
Ice Climber:
Kid Icarus:
Metroid: Pyrosphere,
Pikmin: Garden of Hope, 
ROB:
Starfox:
Wario:
Wii Fit: Wii Fit Facility, 
Yoshi:
Sonic: Windy Hill Zone, 
Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Castle, 
Metal Gear:
Unrepped Franchises: Pilotwings,
Smash: Battlefield, Boxing Ring

Realistically, things like ROB, Wii Fit, or Ice Climber would only get one stage but that shit's up to you, as well as whatever other series you would want.
Also, Unrepped Franchises doesn't really have a limit.

This is what a Sanic game is supposed to be like. Not the pixar wub wub shit that modern sonic is. And it's sad that a group of fans understand this more than the developers.

So I think I've figured something out /v/. 

I don't think I was hasty in deciding this but it seems that people who have "given up on video games" due to the industry never really had diverse taste to begin with.

They were always destined to play only popular games anyway, but they weren't fully separated from groupthink so they never went out to play better games.

>Wargame: Air Battle
>Sonic BTS/ATS
>Sengoku Basara
>Supreme Commander I & II
>Dawn of War 2

Those are just to name a few good vidya titles that have been released lately. If you give up on games altogether just because of what people choose to be popular, you obviously dont like video games.

At Steam Developer Days, an invite-only developer conference taking place in Seattle, Valve’s Michael Abrash explains why Valve is embracing VR in a talk titled “What VR Could, Should, and Almost Certainly Will Be within Two Years.”
"Unlike us, where we have to ship a product, Valve has been able to focus on pure R&D, how good the experience can be," Iribe explains.

>I’m signed up to see the valve vr hardware. It’s behind a black curtain so no one can see it. Everyone who has tried it says it is mindblowing and blows crystal cove away. They need to call me to let me know when I can see it, so I need to save my phone’s battery. So no posts for a bit until then. Be back with impressions!

My dad just gave me a new Panasonic plasma TV. All I'm going to be using it for is older consoles. I forgot about it for a few hours the other night, while it was on the PS2 menu screen, and it was burned in until the next day.

It's fine now, but I'm wondering if it's safe to even play games with this thing, with HUDs and shit staying on screen in the same place for hours at a time. I tried searching around a bit, and I've gotten people saying that it's completely safe, and other people saying it will wreck the thing, so I'm not really sure what to believe.

>Pick a game of your choice
>Head on over to amazon
>copy paste your favourite 1 star review

I'll start with pic related:

What can I say? This game is perfect if you have no girlfriend/boyfriend, job, social life, or basically any form of physical or social activity that differs you from that of a rusted lawn chair. This game does nothing but steal time away from you. If you have time to waste good, you'll be spending hours here. If you plan to leave the World of Warcraft to shower,eat,sleep,use the bathroom etc,you obviously don't belong there. This game does nothing but replace real life goals and accomplishments met through realife hardwork with digital goals that are met with the same amount of time applied. The difference being the accomplishments you wasted your time on in the game mean absolutely and I mean absolutely nothing! They have no value whatsover accept to other people like yourself trapped in the game.

I got so tired of people talking about what they do in this game like it's an actual accomplishment. You played since it's release? who cares? You have Tier whatever gear who cares? You have some magic mount no one else in the game has who cares? You have tons of fake game gold who cares? None of this stuff matters to people that live in the real world. Do you think anyone cares that I killed King Bowser back in 1989? Or that I upgraded my standard blaster to a missle blaster in Metroid in 1988? Or how about the time I found the secret ring in Sonic the Hedge Hog when I got my first Sega? NO ONE CARES A BOUT WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED IN A GAME! IT'S MEANINGLESS! IT HAS NO REAL WORLD VALUE!

Can someone explain this bullshit? [spoiler]Key examples being Racing games and those DOTAlikes. In Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed, if you're in 7th or below - you're never coming back to 3rd or above unless everyone fucks up. NEVER. 

Game has the nerve to penalize your score if you quit out too, and to top it off, at a certain rank threshold, if you fail to finish 2nd position or higher, you lose equivalent rank to ragequitting anyway. So why not ragequit?[/spoiler]

tl;dr - why is ragequitting considered bad when the people who didn't would win anyway?

Allright, /v/, the only advantage consoles objectively have over PCs is their readibility for local co-op for when friends come over. However, PCs are not unarmed in the matter. Your challenge tonight is to name [spoiler]fun[/spoiler] local co-op games, even if they must be emulated. There are controllers and mapping software readily available so the possibility is not an issue.

So far I've come up with

F-Zero GX
Castle Crashers
Super Street Fighter 4
Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed
Various Mario Party entries
Kirby Super Star
Emulated SW: Battlefront 2 since PC version has no local co-op.

You know, with all this talk of game of the year awards and how mediocre and shitty games like Bioshock Inifinite, The Last of Us, Gone Home, and others have been declared the pinnacle of gaming in 2013, it's time to put your money where your mouth is, /v/. Tell me your personal ten picks (doesn't need to be in numerical order) for best games of 2013. Mine, in no particular order are:

>Metal Gear Rising: Revengance
>Ys: Memories of Celceta
>Dragon's Crown
>Tales of Xillia
>Mighty Switch Force 2
>A link Between Worlds
>Muramasa Rebirth
>Fire Emblem: Awakening
>Rune Factory 4

I chose these based on the amount of time I put on them and enjoyment I had with each.

Finally, try to make a list of the top ten games you played this year that didn't come out in 2013 and you haven't played before. A list of your backlog, if you will. Mine, again in no particular order, are

>Hotel Dusk
>Megaman Advent

Am I the only person who vehemently hated everything about this game? I was hyped as fuck about it showing up on Steam and picked it up once it went on sale and I still feel like I was cheated out of seven and a half bucks.

It was like the game was insulting me the entire time. I had to put it on the highest difficulty after I played on hard for about five minutes and I did what I could to try and ignore the god-awful voice acting, shit-tier character designs, and limited combat. I forced myself to finish it once before I uninstalled it, and I wound up wishing there was a buyer's remorse thing for Steam that would let me forget I ever played this pile of shit. I get that it was done by one person but so was Cave Story and that's one of my favorite games ever.

I thought it was the worst game ever made until I played Sonic '06.

I had a dream last night where they re-re-released Sonic Adventure on the PC, but with upscaled resolution and even better graphics than the regular port. Not only that, there was a new area, and a lot of the enemies/bosses have holes on their bodies that you can hit to free the Chao inside. So like, an enemy would be riddled with holes, and you could hit all of them to save the Chao, which I think get added to your garden. Also Rouge was there as a reward NPC, but I dunno why.

>This one thing will cut all the crap you’re hearing about Nintendo currently (and there is quite a ton of crap): Nintendo has been making poor quality games.

>Is it not amazing how no one ever mentions this? I remember being a bystander during the N64 and Gamecube days and hearing everyone assume the games are ‘great’ yet some demon-spawn in marketing or business side was preventing the sales.

>Everyone admits that software sales cause console sales. When Nintendo consoles sell, Nintendo declares this is due to their incredible software. Yet, when Nintendo consoles don’t sell, Nintendo never admits it is due to mediocre software. No, no, the problem is in the marketing, in the ‘business strategy’, or something else. Shigeru Miyamoto still blames the failure of the Virtual Boy to be on the marketing. Could it not be that the games and their experience was something people didn’t want to buy?

>Are Nintendo developers so psychotic that they believe every video game they make is something everyone wants?

>The NES did not sell due to ‘business strategy’ or ‘marketing’. It sold due to quality games. Without quality games such as Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda, the NES would not have sold no matter what ‘business strategy’ or ‘marketing’ was deployed. Quality games create sales. Mediocre games create losses. The Sega console was no threat until quality games began to appear on it such as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Ronin / "Quick Draw" Mikoraru
HP: ***
Power: **
Dash: *

Past: Unable to cut it as a samurai, Mikoraru wanders the world. When he isn't slicing foes, he tends to work for butchers, doing much of the hacking, whacking, and chopping of meat.
Specials: 
The Cutting Edge - Unwilling to guard, Mikoraru instead sheaths his blade when attack is held down. Releasing the button causes him draw forth his blade and an enemy-piercing sonic wave forward.
Mon Pincher - Frugal living has sharpened Mikoraru's skill to find loose change. Earn more currency than normal from picking up money.


Farmer / "Smilin'" Sano
HP: **
Power: *
Dash: ***

Past: Although he's short, Sano uses his athleticism to showboat and attract buyers to his produce stand. He's also such a great farmer that he can even grow food in the heat of battle!
Specials: 
Green Thumbs - When he picks up seeds, Sano will instantly plant them instead of adding them to his score. The seed will quickly grow into a food item, for an ally or himself to eat.
Short Stack - Sano's height causes most projectiles to buzz right over his head. Only enchanted auto-targeting projectiles are the exception.


Wizard / Ikki "the Firebolt"
HP: *
Power: ***
Dash: **

Past: At age 30, Ikki awoke to his magical powers. When surfing the astral leyline, he came to learn of evil plots being schemed. He now seeks out brave heroes to help him keep the peace.
Specials:
Heat Up - When wielding temporary weapons, Ikki gives 20% extra damage along with -Burn-ing for each strike dealt.
Shock Jockey - When guarding, Ikki builds up his electricity meter. After it gets full, the next 8 seconds let Ikki's body-ramming attacks pierce multiple foes, -Shock-ing each one struck.

title: Masterchief vs Samus?
comment:
just seeing who is stronger than who in a fight to the death. i can start with my argument on why samus would win
Samus functioned at a superhuman level on Zebes, which notably has a mass of 4.4 trillion teratons, 856 times earth mass, despite having the diameter of Venus, this makes for tremendously greater surface gravity. Just not dying makes Samus an easy class 70 as an absolute minimum.

She can pop him like a grape with her bare hands.

Her weaponry outputs terawatt (small nuclear weapon) level energies, meaning one shot from her will explode chief's shielding, and the next shot vaporizes him into a cloud of freefloating gas particulates.

Oh and she has precog as of that game that shall not be mentioned.

Samus happily murders John by poking him really hard.

Samus can run at supersonic speeds with the help of the speed booster that surpasses a spartans run speed which is around 40-45 MPH hilariously. she could easily shinespark john.

The screw attack makes samus invulnerable to attacks and can destroy building walls and any enemy to the touch.

Plasma beam and Hyper Beam make the Spartan laser a laughing joke along with the flame thrower as samus can stand up to ridleys firebreathing which is hot enough to melt most metals.

>Pic Related Figma Samus is best figure of all time

https://soundcloud.com/kevin-hanse/awoken

It's supposed to be some kind of Jungle Level Theme.
Imagine something like in Sonic 3, where the first act is a little bit slower paced and sounds much more "sane" (if you know what I mean) and this would be the music for the second act, where everything goes a little more ape shit.

But as someone who's really interested in music himself, I'd love to hear some of the stuff you guys made.
If you don't have any original music, covers will also do.

The main reason why I'm opening this thread up is because throughout the years, I've found quite some interesting and talented people here on 4chan and I'd love to encourage more people to showcase some of their stuff to find some more!

Sonic Adventure 2, over-rated sack of shit, or under appreciated gem in the rough?

I definitely lean towards the latter, but I do have a lot of nostalgia for the game. What do you guys think?

When Nintendo wants to create a new character, they just change their color to a similar bright and happy shade. Need two more? Make one yellow and one purple! We need more princesses? Use the existing princess and take away an eye! Need another one? Give this one three eyes!

So why does Super Mario not have Sonic's reputation of copypaste and fandom OCs? Wouldn't it be bigger?

Do you think it's worth getting the whole console for those games (plus any of your recommendations), /v/?

So, guys. I am getting a PC. I have stuck with consoles for a while now, but since I actually need one to do my Uni work on, rather than the NOTEBOOK I am using now.
Luckily, I got a bursary, so I'm going to use it on something I need.

However, my two friends who (as good as they are) will laugh about how I own a PS3, Wii and Mega Drive and won't spend £700 of my money (poorfag just into Uni) to get a PC for the really good graphics and superior games, despite the fact half the games I want are on consoles either exclusively or earlier than PC.
(see: /v/)

In other words, even though I need an average PC for work, (3d engines and the like) will I feel bad for getting an overpriced games machine?

Sup, /v/.

I asked /g/ as well, but I'm hoping for a bit of /v/'s advice on a gaming PC build. I've never built my own PC before, so I'm a little in the dark here. I've been following Logical Increments' site for awhile now, and doing a bit of my own research. I think I've narrowed my build down to the following...

Budget: $1800
GPU: R9 290x *OR* x2 GTX 770 / x2 R9 280X
CPU: i5 4670k
HSF: TPC 812
MOBO: GIGABYTE Z87X-UD5H
RAM: 8GB
HDD: x1/x2 1TB
SSD: 240GB SanDisk Extreme II
PSU: SeaSonic SSR-750RM
Case: NZXT 630
OS: Win 7 / 8.1

Do you guys have any advice on my GPU choice? Should I go for the single R9 290X, or get two GTX 770 / R9 280X and deal with the SLI issues? 

Thanks in advance, guys.

Where did cutesy mascots go, /v/?

One of the main reasons I don't like playing AAA games now is because they all lack soul. I don't find characters like Bioshock Infinite's MC or whatever the fuck the MCs are in Uncharted/Killzone/CoD memorable at all.

Characters like Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Ratchet & Clank, Spyro, Fox, Pac Man, etc. are the only ones I can think of that are still around.

Where did characters like Klonoa go? Or Dreams? The closest characters I can think of are the TF2 classes.

When was the last time a non-nintendo console had an AAA game where the main chars weren't part of a serious game and had proper proportions and human anatomy, or hell, weren't human at all?

I feel this is partly why gaming is stale to me. Every game looks the same. Does anyone else feel the same?

title: Nintendo should merge with Sega
comment:
In the vein of Bandai Namco, Square Enix or Tecmo Koei, I think Nintendo should form a mind-blowing joint venture Nintendo Sega (they can also rename it later as Sega Nintendo).

As an esclusively software company, they would be a publisher-developer powerhouse and both would benefit. Nintendo has creativity, Sega has manpower. I also feel Sega went down as a developer because many of their talents got diluted in a disorganic company and administration.

First published title, obviously, a nextgen multiplatform Bayonetta 2.
Then we could have an amazing Sonic made by EAD Tokyo and a new F-Zero again from Nagoshi. A Zelda 1 on 1 (Virtua) Fighter. Endless possibilities. Under strong EAD direction we might see the ancient Sega rise again from its grave.

I am a fan of Sonic for a long time (come at me /v/tards, I could care less what you think about my taste) and I enjoyed the main 2D games, from Sonic 1 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles, including Sonic CD. Games that I played like Sonic 3D blast, Sonic Chaos, and the game gear Sonic the Hedgehogs were ok-ish. I never got the chance to play games like the Adventures because I never owned a Dreamcast. I didn't like Heroes much, Shadow was awful and confusing (mainly speaking endings), and Sonic 06? Naw. The only 3D game I really enjoyed was Secret Rings. Didn't play Black Knight, Colors, and Unleashed... yet.

The Adventure titles were on sale some time ago on the xbox marketplace so I got both titles with the DLC. I really enjoyed Adventure 1, and gammas story was really good and thought out. My only problem with the game is that characters like Amy and Big are just flat out unnecessary to include, and Metal Sonic with the DLC is just Sonic with a different skin, but no different powers.

Started playing Adventure 2, and my biggest problem is: why the fuck am I forced to play as different characters? Playing as Eggman (was) a new thing, but I do not want to be forced to play as Tails, Knuckles, or Rouge.

Where did everything go wrong with this entire series?

Why do people keep saying that handheld games work on phones just as good as on "true" handhelds and even think this is a valid argument?

I play psp pretty much daily because i have to drive almost 1 hour with a train to get to work and i have no problems to play one hour straight since the psp is pretty comfy to hold. Something that isnt the case with smartphones.I also have almost 300 hours in dissidia duodecim and i really doubt this game is even nearly to playable with shitty touchscreen controlls. And as it seems it looks like shit at least in this video (which is a few months old, maybe it looks better now):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDCH8gXrA9I
I also dont hear sound in this video and others, so i assume you have to disable sound to get good frames? If so its just another thing for me that proofes that psp emulating is far from good at the moment. Because sound is a must at least for me in most games.

And even if it works with max fps now, the buttons are terrible to reach, i doubt the guy in this video doesnt use dashes because he just dont want to. dissidia seems to be "claw grip: the game" if you plan to play this game on higher difficulties. I dont even start with the fact that you cant see 40% of the screen because you have your hands over it the whole time.I also tried a sonic demo on my phone, it played like shit because of how inaccurate the "buttons" where.

If handhelds really die because shitty smartphones i really think it will be the absolute proof that gaming is definitely and official dead.

If there was a way to give it to you guys for free without giving it to the rest of the world for free, I would totally do that.

Suppose you were in charge of Nintendo. What would your strategy be for correcting the course of Wii U?

Personally, I'd grab some of those cash reserves and try to fund some third party games, like they did with Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2. Grab some key developers and get some more beloved franchises on the system that have some selling power, and also have diverse audiences to attract different types of players, and keep them exclusive.
Imagine:
>HD Mega Man
>A Hideo Kojima side project
>Get Square to develop something that might make more of a splash than Crystal Chronicles
>Work with Sega for something besides just Sonic (if Sony isn't funding Shenmue 3, Nintendo certainly could)
>Try and get a good, "mature" FPS

I think if they want to boost the Wii U, they've got to get more games on there that will appeal to more than just Nintendo fans and that still won't be available on other systems.

What would you do?

Just look at this fucking cover. I was scared shitless at the thought of all these monsters chasing me. It didn't help that there were little chucky dolls and the title screen goes BUHA HA HA HA when you press enter. 

So eventually it got to the point, where I couldn't even look at the cart and my parents had to trade it in. (For Battle Toads Double Dragon funny enough)

Anyway. Flash forward years later and I discover emulation on my brand new Pentium 4! I load up the game and it still gives me that chill from the title screen, but I power though. After a few levels I realize how fucking solid the mechanics are, and that music that used to creep me out as a child is fucking god tier. Seriously just listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsdkSeTAGYs

Anyway. Now it's one of my favorite SNES titles that I really regret not still having to this day. I hope all of you out there try it out!

I like shitty games, /v/
I like Sonic 2006's music and enjoyed some of the normal stages. None of the lightspeed bullshit, boss battles or puzzles.
I like Sonic Unleashed's night stages, my problem with them is that they lasted almost 30 mins each. 
I like FF13's UI and overall grafix, music too. Pity the game worked for me like a rollercoaster that always goes on a straight line, no loopings or anything.
I liked Cross Edge's characters and combat, but it bored me to tears to get 100%.
I liked Last Rebellion's dungeon exploration, too bad it started becoming repetitive as fuck.
I liked Mindjack's mind controlling stuff, specially taking over other machines and kids. Rooted for the guy not to kill his partner and have a happy ending, thank Obama he didn't do it.
I liked the 1st Neptunia's story, but ~5 fps during fights was HORRIBLE, item system based on percentage odds is SHIIIIIT
Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's edge is still shit (specially the story), but I enjoyed most regular fights and felt they weren't that different from Sigma 2.
I liked RE5's Wesker and being able to cheese through everything with OP weapons (specially crocs). The game's cover says that it is a horror game, but I wasn't scared by anything. I also enjoyed 6 a bit, for almost the same reasons.
I acknowledge them all as shit and won't make any excuses to prove otherwise. I enjoy them BECAUSE they are like this.
What games do you like, despite everybody sperging over your tastes? And please, don't try defending the game. It's shit and YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE

So what would be the chances of Shadow the Hedgehog being in? Personally, I wouldn't mind much but I wouldn't ask for him to be in.

Seeing how Sonic is a third party character, his chances of being in is about 5 - 7%. But seeing how the most recent Sonic Lost World was nintendo exclusive, his chances are bumped up, but still unlikely. Plus, if Sonic had another rep in, Shadow would be the candidate. Tails doesn't look much like a SSB fighter, nobody cares much for Knuckles, Silver is a "don't even think about it", and the rest aren't likely.

You think you can make a better Super Smash Bros. roster than Sakurai?

Prove it. Add newcomers that haven't been announced, remove characters you don't want (even if they've already been announced for SSB4), and so on.

Keep in mind that a game with say, 70 characters isn't going to have as much attention paid to balance or quality of animations / models as a similar game with 30 characters.

You notice how in every Sonic game where the Chaos Emeralds are optional collectibles the special stage is always the half pike?

What made sonic unleashed bad?

Daytime stages were perfect nothing needed to be fixed (IMO).

So lets fix the werehog.

Lets change werehog controls and gameplay mechanics

Imagine werehog going through a sonic daytime stage and as if he played like daytime sonic with a few differences

(Xbox control set-up)

Left joystick = Basically like day time sonic 

X = Sonic would curl into his ball mode in werehog form and smash whatever he runs into as long as the x button is held similar to Daytime sonics speedboost. the difference would be that the spin has a different velocity then day time sonics boost. When spinning down hill in ball mode sonic goes faster and speeds up, going up hill in ball mode he will slow down. (similar to the 2-d physics) so sonic will spend more time just running normally 

Y = Sonic would run in place (as if he were charging a spin dash) when Y is released sonic basically gets that spin dash boost effect.

B = Werehog sonic would use that spinning needle attack like move and it would be a different kind of slide move, he would breakthrough walls instead of sliding under them. (Stomp attack makes a shockwave to destroy enemies)

A = jumps like day time sonic but doesn't do the jump spin type animation making him vulnerable midair.
 (Homing attack: sonic stretches his arm out and he pulls himself towards the enemy to punch them)

RB/LB = does that side step move

RT/LT = (a new mechanic idea) Sonic would stretch his arm out and grab a pole/object that he would use to swing to different paths if he has enough speed to do it.

Bring back the chao garden.

Nighttime sonic makes dark chao's, daytime sonic makes hero chao's ETC.
Use rings from the levels to buy level ups for the chao's stuff like that.
Destroying enemies gives you those chaos drives to use at chao garden on chao.
Make an online chao karate where players can battle their chaos against each other.

Unrelated, use the beat em up style for a knuckles type game.

However, I've only bought 1 game for it: Sonic Lost World. I love Sonic, but I haven't even bothered to continue playing that shit. I don't like that game. I hate the Wii U GamePad. I hate how many fucking wires the stupid charger(s) for the GamePad needs and that Sensor Bar.

Should I sell it? If so how, Craigslist or Amazon?
Or should I keep it, and why? I'm a PC Gamer, mostly.

Yeah it was... not traditional in Shadow the Hedgehog. But at the same time blame Sega for pushing this kind of crap on the character and the game. If you noticed, he isn't saying damn all the time now. Plus, I honestly didn't mind all those "damn" even when it was excessive. Must be me, sure bothered the hell out of everyone. And last but not least, I don't see anything wrong with him being serious all the time. I guess Blaze is pretty edgy then, she's just as serious as Shadow.

Discuss Sonic I suppose.

So we've talked about characters until the cows came home, went to bed, got up in the morning, and went to work. Now let's talk about what you would like to see in other areas of the game: stages, modes, music, items, etc.

My hope list:

* Stage Builder returns, with a much better selection of doodads, backgrounds from the varous franchises, building materials themed to the background selected, more hazard materials, the ability to put in water and lava and mud, and the ability to customize the size and shape of the overall stage.
* Melee's Adventure Mode returning with every franchise represented in it with a stage, and the stages are randomized with the character you selected's stage being the last one with a boss fight to finish it.
* Co-op for Stadium Modes return, and also co-op Break The Targets and Board The Platforms.
* Bosses in some of the modes besides Classic and Adventure, and franchise-specific bosses to boot, such as Eggman in the Egg Viper for Sonic, Zero-Two for Kirby, Andross for StarFox, etc.
* Alternate costumes, as in Dr. Mario for Mario, Wario's WW/Overalls returning, Marth's looks in the other FE games, Masked King Dedede, the Shiny colors for the Pokemon.

I recently started playing Dota, after losing fear of loosing and getting yelled at for how bad I was.
But after some playing I played bloodseeker and I just love playing him. Running around at the speed of sonic with my bloodfury and killing thous who think that they are safe and after good chase I have to relax my jaws that I had been biting without my notice, and that feel is awesome.
most of my mid game I might be running around enemy forests hunting thous that have less than half health and pop to my mini map.
after few games I had to throw my money at valve so I could name my weapons Gorefather and Gorechild and ad descriptions "blood for the blood god" and "skulls for the skull throne" to another.
Does anyone else have Dota hero that just feels so good to play?

It'll never be the same and we should except it since autists with low standards and suits at SEGA ruined everything. But we should still acknowledge the problem.

Sega has put the brakes on the idea of a new Sonic the Hedgehog title for 2015, saying that the information from the Nuremburg Toy Fair was incorrect.

"Sega is yet to announce details of upcoming console video games for Sonic the Hedgehog or further details regarding the new Sonic CG TV series. The recent information coming out of Nuremburg Toy Fair was incorrect," a Sega spokesperson said to GameSpot.

A new Sonic game is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U in 2015, if this promotional sign is correct.

The sign was on display at a toy fair in Nuremberg, Germany last week, where toy maker Jazwares was showcasing a line of Sonic toys. The sign was first posted to German website Spindash.de.

In addition to the 2015 Sonic game, the sign lists the recently released Sonic: Lost World for Wii U and 3DS and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games: Sochi 2014 for the Wii U. It's also accurate in its description of the upcoming Sonic animated show, Sonic Boom.

Last year Nintendo announced it had entered a partnership with Sega to publish three Sonic games on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with the first two being Sonic: Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games: Sochi 2014. The third game has yet to be announced.

Last week, we reported that Warner Bros. pulled the plug on its DLC for Batman: Arkham Origins on the Wii U, prompting Nintendo to refund consumers who bought the game's season pass.

So my 3 month PSN+ subscription is almost up, after these 3 months of "free" games from sony, I only ended up finishing Sonic All Star Racing Transformed.

Basically, I got alot of games im not interested in with their service, thus while I did download a bunch of games, I ended up playing only the ones I really wanted and had already bought, thus PSN+ was mostly a waste of time.

anyone else feels like this? its almost like buying steam games when they are on sale just because they are cheap, and then never playing any of them because you werent really THAT interested.

So, /v/, have any of you played this game? Because it seems like most people say no. This is a Sanic fangame called Srb2 (Sonic Robo Blast 2, not the best title, but whatever). Basically, its a 3d Sonic platformer with sprites that functions like Sonic 3. It's been around for a long time (been playing since 1.09.4, current version is 2.0.7), but surprisingly a lot of people who played Sanic games dont know about it, and since most threads involving them talk more about waifus then games, I feel this would be more appropriate. 

tl;dr Game at srb2 . org, will bump with screenshots.
