In other news, early concept art by DiC was discovered for the SatAM show... and goddamn it is an absolute dose of WTF. Literally nobody even resembles anything that could've come from the games.

Plus it's Sonic so it's going to be doubly, so. I'm really loving the environments and overall feel to the game, it's got a very Jak & Daxter/Ratchet & Clankness to it. The animation on those in-game cutscenes is pretty awesome, especially characters' facial expressions. I'm really disappointed that all four characters seem to play identically and none of them seem to have any specific special abilities unique to them. Seems like such a massive waste.

	--- Quote: Blacklightning Nov 14 2011, 02:48 AM I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem

Is anyone legit taking any prospect of an actually decent Sonic movie seriously? Why do people even WANT a Sonic movie, how much more could it possibly add to the franchise that decades worth of comic books, television shows and videogames haven't already done so?

The exception being the Dragonball movie. I think I'm one of the few that think the new TMNT movie actually seems bad ass. The first live action tmnt movie I think was the best because it was both faithful while still feeling dark enough to not annoy the fuck out of you with too many random "cowabungas" and whatnot.

How on earth is that supposed to be a point? If "because we've done it before" was ever a legitimate excuse we never would've seen a Sonic game past the Genesis original.

My point was, why a movie? Sonic isn't exactly a property Hollywood can really make bank off of, and, honestly, any attempts at CG will result in something hideous, unless Disney/Pixar/DreamWorks were involved and they did a full feature using nothing but CG, as opposed to CG with fucking humans, which is just going to look butt-ugly. We're just going to get another Smurfs, or Chipmunks and everyone will piss and moan about how Sonic is dead, all over again.

You've played Unleashed, right? Seen all those fancy pre-rendered cutscenes? Just hire the guys that animated those. Problem fucking solved. The whole root of this problem isn't anything wrong with the concept, it's that Sega is seeking exactly the wrong kinds of people to see it all through.

Anyway, regarding people bitching about Sonic Boom, I'm still not getting all the hate.

Because in the exact same light as this: it is masquerading as an entry in a franchise it shares virtually nothing in common with. In fact if anything it has more in common with generic PS2 era licensed platformers than it does anything resembling a Sonic game. About the only thing they haven't done so far along those lines is openly mock people for having expectations as such... and well fuck, knowing how the writing is going I'm almost expecting them to at some point.
