>>27867Sonic colours, frontiers, the remakes, were pretty good recent titles actually. Sonic forces not so much. Part of why there aren’t many good sonic titles are just the lack of games that get released for them since the team wants more time to develop better titles.

>>28424I'm pretty sure like 95% of /mlp/fags that are still into the fandom would fuck a real horse if given the chance. There's that HVOP (human vagina on pony) meme, where it's like clop (porn) artists years ago when MLP was cool almost exclusively drew the ponies with human pussies and without the horse udders/teats or "ponuts" (horse assholes) but nowadays you can rarely find pony porn without semi-realistic or outright realistic anatomy for the private regions, and in fact if such an artist exists they will get hated for drawing ">HVOP".
My take is to put it bluntly I wouldn't assume someone who faps to so-called "HVOP" porn is a zoophile, but I would assume they are if they fap to realistic horse anatomy. But here's the thing — I would assume the exact same for horse cock futafags, animal genitalia anthros/monster girls and people who use animal-themed sex toys. It's like how that one vtuber, Pippa, called Agent Kochinski Agent Kochinski a horsefucker. He talks SO much about horse cock, he literally sounds like he would suck off a horse if he could.
Thankfully I'd say at least with horsefuckers, it's hard for them to get access to real horses, ergo them doing anything in real life isn't a concern. The same cannot be said for "cunnyfags", which if I was in a schizo mood I might even suggest it's possible they're some kind of glowie op targeting 4channers (I don't know about you guys but when I was a kid more than a decade ago and happened upon loli threads on /b/ and /a/ there was no explicit pedo talk like "UOHHHH CHILD PUSSY" or actual CP being posted in loli threads, nowadays whenever I happen upon a loli thread there's like a 30% chance of someone posting actual CP).
Oh and, lastly, while they might be horsefuckers, I can't remember /mlp/ ever having a strong chinlet presence and for that they should be commended.

I think that the issue with Sonic is that the executives over at Sega are practicing sound business techniques, and Sonic, as a franchise, can't function with "good ideas." The Super Autistic fan base requires Sonic media that breaks most traditional rules. An example I can think of off the top of my head is how DMCV, while it is a pretty game, is pretty fucking boring mechanically, but it appeals to the autists who like being hard-carried by button mashing, and doesn't ever take itself seriously so it's exploding with cringe-kino.
As much as Sonic Frontiers sucked, the first boss fight right out of the gate is cringe-kino with the unwarranted boss music, Super Sonic emulating an old fan flash video game, and just being unnecessarily bombastic. That's good presentation because, after all, why should anyone take a blue rodent that can go Super Saiyan seriously? If the rest of Frontiers was about cringe-kino set pieces rather than trying to follow the sane business model decision of open world games, it could've been great.
The business execs are retards who are so behind the curve they think its a flat plane.

They should make a new Sonic Spinball but in a 3D world. There would be flipflapper thingies everywhere and cannons and stuff and they would all have a specific sort of shading and texture and with the press of a button you would always activate every single one of these things simultaneously across the entire game universe.

All Dogs Go to Heaven and other Disney works. Considering this makes it much more understandable why Harkness Test is written off in regards to talking animal/feral characters.

>>29587Sega had always been run by retards, especially in Japan.
Infighting ultimately is what did Sega in, and by the time they took steps to resolve the feuding the damage had been done. It really started with Sega of Japan rejecting partnerships with Sony and Silicon Graphics that SoA was trying to broker for the Sega Saturn, but the real lynch pin was SoJ telling SoA that America "wasn't ready" for the Saturn, and that they needed a new cartridge console to transition them from 16 bits to 32 bits rather than just releasing the more powerful Saturn in all regions at the same time.
SoA got SoJ to compromise by making the cartridge system by just an add on for the Genesis (32X) but it was still a huge waste of money that really hurt Sega's reputation for cranking out hardware that they didn't support with enough software, especially since everyone was holding out for the real next generation console. They really bungled the launch of the Saturn too by releasing it without even telling anyone. They did pretty much everything right with the Dreamcast, but by that point they unfortunately didn't have enough money to support a console long enough for it to bring in a profit.
>>29449Sega doesn't understand that what made people get attached to the franchise is how earnest it used to be, despite the cringe.
Eggman having a fatherly side to him only stemmed from Flynn being Frontier's head writer. He's not a good writer, but he gets it. The Japanese translation of the game got fucking butchered because SoJ doesn't like it when the characters are even at least two-dimensional.
SoJ corrected the whole "Sonic emoting and being empathetic" so fucking hard that now the guy reads like a fucking furry Patrick Bateman, unable to feel anything but euphoria or aggression. That whole "he's only cool because he's snarky and doesn't care" mentality was only parroted by dumbfucking emotionally stunted gamers that were never fans of the series, both SoA and SoJ were fucking dumbasses for trying to pander to it.
Shadow got demoted to a shitty Vegeta rip-off when his whole appeal, more than the other two examples, was the earnestness of his character, the fact that he wasn't just a one-noted asshole.
Who the fuck cares if the furries express feelings other than WAKU WAKU and snark. The "cringe" was the appeal of it all.

>>30173Yeah, and the Sonic fandom, despite all the cringe, really had to suffer for it. Mind, many games weren't great, but massively overhated.
If remember right, that was the time game journalism really started to decline in "quality", and the corruption under it bubbling to the surface, so a mascot in decline was decent target to boost ones own credibility to shit on an obvious target.
Arin Hanson/Egoraptor in the same way. A complete and utter tool with opinions so shit even /v/ would recoil in disgust, and an inability to admit his own failings playing games (I am talking straight-up refusing to follow on-screen instructions because he hates tutorials). He was during the time doing his own "serious" videos called Sequelities, and was failing because of the above.
The one thing that amazes me tho, how the fanom kinda fell off in visibility, if only cause MLP and the right-wing cringe showed how deep one can fall into the autism hole.
No.30282
>>30272Part of it is Sonic was initially meant to compete with Mario so their games invited comparison that always ended in the latter's favor, and another part is that the Sonic fanbase is an easy punching bag similar to furries.

>>30963>Sonic Team with 06? You think Sega JP would've even learned their lesson by now.
Rushing 06 was sadding, Do they even have effective unions in Japan? It looks like Sonic Team needs it at this point since it's been effecting their games for a while now with shit, like with Takashi Iszuka in Sonic Heroes's Development, they rushed SA2 with a smaller team (if that's correct) and the game was still good and a success for others at the time (for a bit more compact and shorter game), but SEGA kept using this strategy for a long while, even when there was only one person doing one level designer for heroes at that point, 06 in a nutshell was
rushed, the team was split to work on secret rings, and there were no delays after the split. Negative reviews were made right out of the gate for 06, and seeing them do the exact same thing now with 3rd party developers and somewhat doing this with not delaying forces (even after a fire and ice fan vote in 2015 saying that delays for games are ok) is concerning. Allowing frontiers to get delayed in 2021 was a step in the right direction.

No.31003
>>31000It's a thing with the whole series.
Even the Genesis titles had short development times besides S3K which still had to be released in two halves. Sonic 2 was the first game to get rushed and it's also the first one with management problems as Naka told SoJ to go fuck themselves and developed the game in America instead despite the language barrier between the American and Japanese employees.
Heroes was rushed to shit so SEGA could have a hit for 2003, which is why it came on fucking new years eve in japan. On top of that Iizuka had to work as 2 people and barely sleep, due to one of the designers was on medical leave in the last stretch of development.

NiGHTS IS GOD. DAMN. SEXY.
The things I would do to this flying twink hole from the heavens are so beyond human comprehension it’s sickening.
Every night, I lye awake engulfed in twisted fantasies of perversion over the things I want to do to them…
Since the day I first laid eyes on this purple non-binary cock snot inducing jester, my life has not known peace.
I have been practicing lucid dreaming for years in sheer hope that maybe someday, somehow, NiGHTS will appear and finally give in to the carnal urges that will engulf both of us..
Every day, I dream of the moment that NiGHTS will paraloop on top of my massive throbbing hole hammer. It’s impossible to even hear their name without beginning to fantasize about my cum cannon sliding between their nonexistent lips.
I don’t know whether Wisemen gave NiGHTS a pp or a bussy, but the curvature that engulfs that purple spandex is more than enough indication that NiGHTS has an asshole tighter than any mortal human could compete with.
The true reason the Casinopolis level in Sonic Adventure had a shower area was not for cleanliness, but so that Sonic could calm himself over the erotic fantasy that surely engulfed him upon playing the NiGHTS pinball game.
Just look at those child bearing hips and long, smooth, slender legs… Who can even imagine the toes that those legs lead to?
I want to make love to NiGHTS so badly it hurts… I’d give my whole life for just one minute inside them…
Please NiGHTS, my dearest… Wait for me…
I will be with you some day…

It's like adding them to Fleetway, there's simply no space for them unless you'll make them secondary characters or split the screentime between them and the rest of the cast which would be a nightmare in terms of writing a consistent story. Other characters like Shadow are already struggling with actually having good writing, albeit because of executive meddling.
No.32191
>>32189The problem with the SATAM cast is that you can't only add one or two characters, you have to add the whole gang or everyone is going to piss themselves over it. Afaik Flynn already confirmed characters like Nicole would have to be added in their original computer form so that's one down already.

>>32046I played through Dream Team and the game has really grown on me. I've gotten used to the touch controls enough to where they don't really hamper anything and the levels have gotten better as the game has progressed. The game put all its points into gameplay and presentation, the story's basic, the music's forgettable and the voice acting is bad, but it's a worthwhile trade for the best playing 3D Sonic game in at least a decade.
Since they're both mostly collectathons, it's going to be compared to Frontiers a lot and Dream Team blows Frontiers out of the water in terms of level design and gameplay.
I have gotten a few slowdowns and weird bugs, but those are probably a result of me using an older iPhone more than anything being wrong with the game itself.

Though from what I noticed after revisiting SA1's English (ew) cutscenes, Bristow actually sounds like a SatAM Eggman would so if SEGA wanted to take Eggman into a darker direction he would be a better fit. But it's not gonna happen. Although Pollock was also in ShTH, Rush, '06 and Unleashed so I dunno honestly.

Also, I think Sonic has a "nice guy" persona due to SEGA catering to the Japanese audience… despite Sonic being a character designed for the American audience… It's confusing. Ironically, they
still trying to cater to Western and Eastern audiences differently, with the American scripts being drastically different (and worse) than the Japanese scripts.
Him being more neutered in recent years is likely the result of SEGA trying to make Sonic more "relevant" to the new audience. Or maybe they want to be more kid-oriented, I dunno. It happens to American cartoons too, kid-friendly cartoons become more explicitly kid-oriented, which pretty much destroys any chances of accumulating a sizeable periphery demographic like MLP did (there are still some… weird people… who enjoy even that… but I've no idea why).
No.34918
>>34916>The themes, characterization and world-building went downhill after SA2.Nah, not really. Even SA2 had a rocky worldbuilding, and some characters like Amy and Big already had a bad reputation back then. All of this can still be forgiven so the true downfall started after Rush I think because of the whole time travel nonsense. Even then, the stories were somewhat decent until after Unleashed but the breaking point was '06 (with continuity errors and… ya know) or maybe ShTH (even though the edge overdose in ShTH was mostly an American addition which can mostly be avoided on the Pure Hero and Semi-Hero Hero pathways I think).
