The Sonic Panel at SXSW is being livetreamed soon, although I hear a better quality version will be uploaded within a few more hours.
Do you trust that the guys at PagodaGames, HeadCannon, and Taxman will deliver and show indie fags (and Sega/Sonic Team themselves) how a 2D Sonic game is done? Just what exactly are they planning for the new, modern 3D/2.5D Sonic game later in the year, anyway?
I wanted Casino Night Zone, but this is good, too.
Cooper Hernandez
Mike Pollock's on the spotlight

OH, SHIT
Evan Bennett
So it's called Sonic Forces, huh?
Asher Bailey
Sonic Forces his cock into Shadow's Boypussy
Juan Hernandez
Apparently Sonic Mania's been delayed to Summer for QA purposes.
Jeremiah Foster
Any GAMEPLAY yet?
Ian Jones
YEAH, THEY BROUGHT YOUr MOM ON STAGE AND PUSHED HER BUTTONS IF YOU GET MY DRIFT
Jaxon Morales
FUCK YOU. ONLY I GET TO DO THAT!!
Nicholas Jones
Post a webm or somthing
Grayson Hall
Fuck you, I want my goddamn casino zone.
Sebastian Clark
I WISH SOMEONE WOULD FUCKING BOMB THE BOOTH AND KILL THE ENTIRE FUCKING AUDIENCE IN COLD DARK BLOOD. GOD DO I HATE THESE FUCKING HIPSTER PEOPLE
Owen Parker
No Casino Zone FOREVER.

Michael Sanchez
NOTHIN PERSONNEL KID
Ayden Sanders
Don't trip and fall on that edge kiddo.
Chase Garcia
GAMEPLAY NOW
Lucas Cruz
Here's another thing. What's the fucking point of that image? The original was funny because the guy was fat, sad and pathetic. If you add something cute to it, the element that made is funny is irredeemably lost.
Do people laugh at this stupid shit? How far gone are they that they find something 'cutesy' more funny than the original, when the joke was to laugh at the sad pathetic lonely fuck. Christ, I want the stupid bitch who took that stupid photo to get his throat slit and bleed out slowly. Doesn't even make a good trap.
It's /too/ fucking personal.
Oliver King
Finally, Sonic Forces gameplay is being shown now. Game is said to be using a brand new engine but is retaining the Sonic Colors and Generations style of play. Basically gushing about its graphics, now.
Elijah Powell
Is this the Twitter meme man speaking?
Logan Walker
THOSE GRAPHICS HOLY SHIT
Easton Kelly
It's a boost gam.? Why haven't they taken in the fan idea to treat 3d sonic like a racing-platformer hybrid yet?
Nathaniel Young
...
Jason Hill
*game
Jackson Hall
Always.
Connor King
Probably want to stick with what they know rather than experiment and trip themselves up again like they did with Lost World.
Nathan Carter
Sonic Forces theme song is going to be played. It will be a vocal theme, but they will only play the instrumental theme at the event.
William Morris
I'm fine with a more refined Colours, it was the best 3D sonic game after all.
Noah Phillips
What's the 3rd style?
Benjamin Brooks
That theme was pretty hype.
Ethan Cooper
The Adventure Style.
Lucas Martin
LIVE AND LEARN
Dylan Miller
I WANT MY CASINO ZONES WHERE'S MY CASINO ZONES, EGGMAN?
Level kinda reminds me of something from Unleashed, but there's no telling if all the levels will be like that.
Gavin Rivera
3D Blast :^)
Asher Nelson
...
Noah Powell
I think they said that the levels will open up in later levels. So I'm guessing we'll see Modern Sky Sanctuary like design later on but the opening level will be more on the linear cinematic side ala Modern Green Hill.
Henry Morgan
WHERE ARE THOSE FUCKING PORTS SEGA? YOU PROMISED PORTS!!!
I wish they'd give us something on that front. Guess we'll have to wait until E3. It's Sergio and Takashi Iizuka's birthday today, as well. Other than that, that's it for the Sonic Panel at SXSW. Now they're giving away exclusive art and answering further questions for the attendees over there.
Looks like shit as per usual, I'm glad Sonic Mania is releasing this year so I can finally play something good and new with the name Sonic on it. It better be fucking good.
Tyler Sanchez
Green Hill Zone Act 2 in Mania, if you haven't seen it yet. I wish they'd show off the special stages already.
David Myers
You don't even have the entire set faggot, don't make empty threats
Andrew Walker
Looks great, happy that continuous transitions are back.
Eli Davis
The Flying Battery Zone reveal from the official Sonic YT account.
Xavier Nguyen

Jose Wood
Oh shit
Michael Nguyen
Do you guys dig the instrumental version of Sonic Force's main theme?
Elijah Morales
Sounds kind of forgettable. Reminds me of Seaside Beach a bit.
Bentley Martin
She looks like a girl but it turns out she has a dick so the guy's not responding.
Alexander Butler
It's not funny, and falls flat. Theme song here.
Carson Hughes
bump
Ian Thomas
Goddamnit
Tyler Foster
Sounds too happy for a supposedly dark game. First part is meh, but the middle to the end is where it gets good. Also the last piano bits definetly sound apocalyptic. I like it.
Dylan Walker
Yeah, the first half sounds really out of place and then is suddenly sounds how I'd imagine it to be and ends with an awesome finisher. Really weird.
Cameron Ortiz
Wew, way to fuck up the water effects you stupid niggers.
Carson Clark
That's a reference and a nod to the emulation community. :^)
Jackson Perez
God damn, I know it's probably the first part of the first level, but it's basically an auto-runner with BOOST BOOST BOOST.
Hudson Price
2D Retro, 3D modern, 2D modern. It's bullshitting, unless they really want to put in Sonic Boom and have it's shit-tier combat & platforming.
Isaiah Hernandez
Boost to Win: 10th Anniversary
Jeremiah Mitchell
But picture #2 is what Sonic actually looked like. Picture #3 is what the CRT displays. If you play Mania on a CRT with the appropriate cables it should have the same effect.
Jackson Allen
From what I've seen, it looks like you can spin dash or at least do that midrun spin dash move in the Adventure games, while you get the boost just by wisps. So hopefully you spin dash but the wisp boosts are there so you don't break your speed or give you a chance to ram enemies.
Adam Wilson
Reminder that people actually listen to the people behind this.
Charles Thomas
Sonic Forces Does this mean we can Finally Join the Sonic Military?
Well at least It looks like they got rid of the lock-on icon or at least you might be able to disable it. I hate that thing.
Colton Green
they're too slow
Henry Gray
No, it probably means that many characters (or even Sonics) team up in a joint effort to combat Eggman's rulling army.
Anthony King
Sonic (along with most genesis games) was specifically designed with that blending in mind. The developers of nu-sonic didn't know that, so they sloppily replicated the un-blended water.
It's an amateur mistake.
Oliver Jenkins
I am pretty sure they at least knew about this, considering their deep knowledge of how Genesis Sonics actually work and their ROM hacking past. But they probably assumed most people didn't know that and didn't bother, so they made it look like how most people remember it now.
Jordan Fisher
No user i don't think thats it. I pretty sure the game is going to start with you becoming the Strongest Fighter in the entire Sonic Fighting Academy Which earns you a Recommendation to Join the Sonic Military.
Samuel Ortiz
no, it's about Sonic's cousin getting the Death Egg plans.
Noah Stewart
I hope there's a wisp that lets you transform into a plane.
Adam Hughes
We'll just have to wait and see if I am right.
Carter Wright
I'd wager whatever nu-male bearded millennial that did the art never played Sonic as intended.
Right about what? That you'd need to dig out an old CRT circa ~1990 to properly blend a single effect in a modern game that could have been effortlessly handled by the developers themselves if they weren't fuckups?
Liam Green
With the amount of little details going into this game, I'm sure artificial blending it'll be an option. They're Sonic Retro people, for fuck's sake.
Isaac Reyes
I wonder if this game would shut up Satam fags who think their canon should be the main one, when they see a resistance team that can actually destroy machinery on their own.
Elijah Turner
You don't need to blend the entire image, though. That just causes a loss of fine detail if it wasn't designed around that.
This is cargo cult development.
Daniel Clark
Sonic Forces you to play as Classic Sonic once again.
Robert Campbell
Yeah, but if you're tasked with a huge tribute like this, you go for fidelity as the default so sad fucks can plug in a CRT if they want to.
Joseph Campbell
You can choose characters and the style to play for the game. Nah it's too much to hope for.
Kevin Harris
There wouldn't be a loss of fidelity by implementing a proper transparency effect on water, it would be the opposite; it'd be both faithful to the source material (what the original developers actually intended it to look like, and what people who played it back then actually saw) and look significantly better.
If they can fuck up something this obvious, it makes me wonder what else they fucked up.
Brody Carter
Muh purity though. This is the guy who recreated the engine and published remakes for Sega after all.
Is a youtube video really indicative of the game's graphical fidelity though? I would have thought not
Jordan Diaz
So I took the theme and lowered the first half's pitch to see if it fits the second half more. Turns out it actually does when you shift the pitch by two octaves down.
Blake Ward
You got your wish.
Christopher Russell
Speaking as someone that has (unfortunately) been to both cities, Austin is basically a flatter, hotter San Francisco. Good food though.
Dylan Barnes
Good POZ++++++
Caleb Jones
...
Cameron Roberts
Sonic a fucking beatiful series despite the bad games, with a lot of care and attention put into every main entry, even the shitty ones. Even mediocre games have nice ideas at the core, just not executed very well (Heroes, ShTH with branching paths).
Hunter Wood
...
Carson Brooks
Ok you've had your fun, now it's time to go back to KYM where you belong
Andrew Johnson
Psst, nothin' personnel, kid
Bentley Russell
Sonic Forces this shit down your throat.
Austin Gutierrez
Too edgy for kym.
Gavin Reed
They're actually going for a 32-bit 32X/Saturn style with this game. Which looks fine and you're being kind of anal, in my opinion.
John Garcia
Sonic is dead guys, its been one hell of a journey, but its time for me to end my life now, all hope of an sa3 is gone
Carter Anderson
I'll work on SA3 if you want. I already have an idea.
Noah Reyes
Adventurefags rest in piss, you won't be miss
Isaiah Smith
SA-fags are the worst. And I like SA1 on paper. SA2 is irredimable shit though
Angel Wilson
I agree, SA fags are like OOT fags.
Adam Cox
How was branching paths in Shadow poorly executed?
Levi Wright
Nothing mattered.
Kayden Flores
I meant the game itself was poorly handled despite actually having a neat idea. Although now that you say that, that too was underdeveloped because of Last Story and many shitty missions.
Wyatt Turner
The cutscenes at the start of each level would never change no matter how you got to that level, potentially invalidating something you just did unless you followed a certain sequence.
My favorite example is how Shadow teaming up with Tails to save the President makes Shadow decide he's an android out of fucking nowhere and he goes insane and tries to kill Eggman. Eggman had nothing to do with the level Tails was in.
Owen Brown
I loved that It was just so bad I couldn't help but enjoy it.
Adrian Hernandez
The two paths (as in alternate routes) in Space Gadget was kind of cool. Disappointed that Sonic wasn't there for you to interact with like in SA2 and so the hero route was just a countdown timer. That and that Shadows physics due to the game engine felt like ass, especially with the PS2's framerate.
I can see that. Though I think having all of the paths lets you see the potential outcomes for Shadow and "True Story" is just the one that's canon. It also makes up for the lack of additional characters in an otherwise singular story, for example Sonic Adventure.
Weren't the PS2 versions of Heroes and Shadow worse than the Gamecube versions? I will agree Shadow doesn't control favorably at times though I think that's just because Shadow was made on the same engine Heroes was. They shouldn't have dropped the SA2 engine.
William Powell
fuck off shill
Carter Rogers
You'll eat it and you'll like it faggot
Jacob Kelly
Yeah, on The RenderWare Engine, I believe. Probably dropped the SA2 engine because they wanted multiplatform parity and maybe because SA2's was modified from SA1's which didn't run that well on the DC to begin with. PS2 ports also tended to be worse off in general even when coming from the DC (i.e Grandia 2 and DOA2).
Anthony Thomas
...
Thomas Garcia
Casino Night was on the 3DS version of Generations.
Dylan Wilson
I know, and the PC. I'm fucking sick of it.
Isaiah Myers
The PC one was just a DLC pinball minigame, not an actual level.
Alexander Turner
More like "what poor people believe sonic looked like"
Bentley Peterson
Because the rich had HDMI cables built into their FUCKING Sega Genesis, right?
Lucas Green
I'll accept it, I guess.
Owen Thomas
All the Genesis models supported RGB, it was technically possible back then (specially if you lived in Europe).
Jose Brooks
I grew up playing Sonic on my GameCube. My list was limited to SA1, Mega Collection, and Gems Collection.
I can't wait for Egoraptor and butthurt SNES fanboys to call Sonic Mania's animation shit. First one's a troll but I know Ego's going to say this like he's an expert on animation. As an animationfag this shit pisses me off so much, especially when he's going to say this and then praise shit like Steven Universe where it goes offmodel in frames that aren't inbetweens.
Kayden Mitchell
Does anyone even give a shit about what Ego "SJW Sellout" Man says? Why do you give a shit? Fuck that nobody, hes nothing but a retarded NuMale with no pair who settled for his first and only girlfriend who cheated on him countless times and fucked his friends behind his back.
Hes doesn't even animate anymore
Andrew Thomas
sauce I need a laugh
Michael Perez
PREACH
Cameron Torres
...
Chase Perry
The second pic is photoshop though.
Joseph Baker
The "original" looks more shopped tbh. I remember a post "disproving" it, but it feels like fucking bullshit since the source cum shot of the image has never been found.
Inspired me.
Jonathan Adams
Yeah Pretty much everything Arin related went to shit after Jon left Game Grumps. What made Game Grumps good was that Arin and Jon Disagreed on allot of things, I like Danny but he never disagrees with Arin on anything and he almost never plays the games himself before I stopped watching Game Gumps. I would constantly think I bet if Danny was playing he wouldn't be playing like a fucking retard.
Well at least Aaron from the Sonic Twitter gets to Fuck with him Webm related and man is Arin a pussy for being unable to eat 12 cupcakes.
Dylan Gomez
Could you explain how the .gif you posted is an example of this? The hat is all that looks weird to me.
Brody Gomez
Yeah, but its still funny, even today Suzy cheated on Arin, left him, and only after Arin called her everyday at the verge of tears and she had her fun did he came back to him. This shit was years go though Can't give you a source unfortunately, an user in 2014 did however. A shame
Lincoln Wilson
I think he means this? I don't know.
Henry Cook
I dunno about cheating, but Arin did say that she went away first (or they broke up) and he's been writing her letters everyday so she eventually came back. reminds me of my own story, at least I grew up in the last two years and don't want to how it was in the past even if I could now
Zachary Evans
They purposefully let characters be off model because they lazy.
Charles White
Game Grumps was always fucking trash Matt and Pat did it first and even the it was just average. Not only that but that fucking shitshow took away time from their already busy and long schedule of making quality content which Arin, surprising no one, no longer does.
Fucking retards whp pushed that shit on Holla Forums should be gassed like the underaged retards they are.
Liam Perez
...
Joshua Harris
No Chao garden?
Xavier Barnes
Will you please fuck off? These aren't funny.
Juan Clark
...
Ryan Taylor
Just filter his ID man. Not that hard.
Matthew Clark
shit on steven universe for a ton of things, but not for this. letting storyboarders determine the art style and not having to obey some retarded model sheet is one of the best things it does
Parker Hill
No. Even if you went full retard and said "Please fuck off" as if that was supposed to do anything. People I've sent these to have liked them.
Kevin Young
I don't get it How does cosplaying as Sonic help him accomplish his Incestual fantasies? Is he going to rape Luigi and blame it on Sonic?
No son, you fuckoff these are OC, right user?
Hunter Bailey
Are you fucking retarded? The Chao Garden is Dead.
Ian Myers
Yeah, I'm doing a monkey on a typewriter thing to and seeing which ones can be funny and which ones can't. This also gives me a good idea for the next one.
Liam Hall
Oh Christ
Jonathan Clark
Nice job, they're prettu well edited
Xavier King
they're okay, thank you though.
Here.
Connor Wood
I can't believe no one made a joke about Sonic and communism yet with that logo
Sebastian Gonzalez
...
Jayden Morales
It's because the star is a very general design, numbnuts. If the joke is that society has been destroyed by implementing communism, then I'll laugh my ass off Eggman IS a feminist after all
Charles Fisher
A RED star with yellow text and a military themed logo isn't a general design, faggot.
Oliver Ross
I think Eggman is a feminist in the ideal way it was thought to be before SJWs and autists ran it into the ground: Being respectful towards females and not acting like an asshole to them just because they trigger your autism. That kinda is how he is, but only because to him, it's part of his "I'm truly a gentleman of a GENIUS even though I'm a massive asshole and bastard otherwise" shtick. In being a villain, he actually already paints being such as being a bad thing.
Austin Sanders
You're trying way too fucking hard, faggot. It's like saying the second pic has communist undertones.
I made the image edit you're using Use this one too
I get it, except for this What.
Gabriel Young
Are you being a dense faggot because you don't want to lose the argument or are you actually just really stupid?
Nigger, saying the red star isn't associated with communism is like saying communism doesn't exist. And don't give me any strawman bullshit. I said it'd be funny for a joke, not that we should analyze Sonic and draw communism analogies form it.
Elijah Perez
I had a good laugh
Owen Lewis
It IS associated, but not in the fucking game. The joke is not going to be funny without making fun of the autist trying to push it. Go to tumblr and >>>Holla Forums if you want shitty commie jokes. Also, here is your own fallacy.
This fucking idiotic mantra spouted by these "animators" is what's killing hand drawn animation in America. That mantra only works if you're making powerful, dynamic poses and gestures like Spumco. Or Wander Over Yonder, but even they use model sheets, but not to follow to a T, but as a guide to build off of. If you look at it's clear they're not doing this to make something for an animation style but because they are lazy shits. Hell, speaking of that character, I wouldn't be surprised they took away her unique original design because those simplistic arms are too hard to animate because they're robotic and it forced them to actually put some effort. I hate this excuse so much. I hate it. Hate it.
Ian Myers
I can't believe you're so autistic you still don't get what I'm saying. I didn't say it was. I said it was funny they used that particular symbol, furthered with the military theme in it. Whether there's actual communism in the game (which I doubt) isn't actually clear yet since the game isn't out, so there's technically this one for you
As for There's none because I didn't say "Red star in Sonic title > Sonic has communism", I said "Red star > generally associated with communism". But do go on and keep bitching about your own misinterpretation of my posts.
Daniel Sanders
Sonic is a commie now?
Elijah Flores
All of this because nobody wants to make unfunny communism jokes. You're linking sonic with communism, in the form of suggestions for jokes. So yes, non-sequiter, does actually apply.
If you can't see your own mistake then I don't know what to tell you. Except for… Forced. Meme
Jaxon Lee
WTF, i hate Sonic now!
Jaxson Martin
Sonic is a Libertarian and tails is AnCap
Hunter Phillips
What about Knuckles?
Jonathan Bailey
WE WUZ
Michael Cox
Er, yes? Exactly like jokes have been made for millenia? That's what jokes are. They don't have to be accurate, there just have to be an unexpected connection. If I have to explain the concept of a joke to you then you're a lost case. I didn't even make any joke myself… Go to sleep you autist.
Cameron Wood
Feminist in the localized Sonic Heroes manual, and I think womanizer in the Japanese version of it.
John Jenkins
It's a reversed Vivian situation, in a way. Though, the localized version isn't canon. I don't think he's actually a feminist then. Shit.
Benjamin Morales
austin is well known as the gay capital of texas. Texas is practically a funny shaped california at this point.
Lucas Anderson

When are we getting Sonic racing transformed 2?

In like 2-3 years. It's gonna look so fucking good.

Cooper Diaz
That's what Modern Sonic's 3D sections are anyway. Unleashed has levels where you literally run laps around a track.
No Adventure, no buy.
Sonic Adventure 2 retconned it so Sonic has been a pawn of a worldwide military (GUN) the entire time. He and most of his friends only work freelance, but Rouge, followed by Omega and Shadow, are full time employees.
You don't understand who is making this. These guys are the most faithful autists there are. They are not some hipster SJW fucks. They're people who had a long history of making fangames better than the originals, and hacking the originals with all sorts of obscure options you'd never think of, so Sega hired them to make the best versions of the classic games and then make their own.
The first thing Sega hired them to do was the Sonic CD remake, which gives you the option of "Original Spindash" and "Sonic 2 Spindash," as if anyone would notice the difference.
SA2 is the best 3D game in the series. SA1 doesn't have nearly as good level design, and lacks the tons and tons of post-story content that Adventure 2 has, but gets by with neat adventure-game elements instead of action game elements.
Eggman is a feminist the same way Sonic lives on Mobius. It was at the whim of ((localizers)). Still, he's the villain, so it's funny.
Also, Nobody does this outside of feminist fantasies to justify their misandry.
