Sooo.....when is that SEGA thing again?

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

These look pretty fresh.

Here are the Hey Arnold Movie character designs Craig Bartlett revealed at our #NickAnimation25 #SDCC panel! pic.twitter.com/APGYx1l21S

Splatoon/ Hey Arnold crossover confirmed.

Seriously though, can't wait for this movie.

 

[ChikoLad]

Sooo.....when is that SEGA thing again?

2AM GMT. And it's a 4-5 hour stream.

It's either pull an all-nighter and sleep through half of Saturday, or sleep through the evening tomorrow, if you wanna watch it live.

I'll be doing the latter.

Splatoon/ Hey Arnold crossover confirmed.

Is it actually going to be in theaters, or is it just being aired on Nickelodeon?

It's been ages since I've watched the show but I used to really like it as a kid so if it's in the cinema, that'd be great.

It's a TV movie.
It was a canceled movie from awhile ago that they decided to bring back.

Aww, that's a shame.

I'll probably find a way to see it, but being in the cinema would have made it more accessible for me.

So, anyone hear of this newfangled Hail Hydra meme?

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they did some sort of theater screening. The Killing Joke movie is going to be available in some movie theaters, at least in the U.S.

Not sure if this has been posted here yet, but Juri's SFV reveal trailer has just been posted.

She's got a pretty rocking theme! It's also confirmed she'll be added on Tuesday, July 26.

So if anyone is interested very recently a bunch of interesting stuff for Sonic Adventure was documented on Sonic Retro and TCRF, the TCRF page for both the AutoDemo prototype pages have been heavily updated, lots of very interesting changes and beta stuff ( including two texture files that were compiled as far back as July 1997, back when the game would've been more classic styled ).

Thanks to the user TheRedEye, we have new screens from a prototype of SA that were given to the press at Sega Gamer's Day 1998:
https://m.imgur.com/a/6GYVi

Here we can get a better look at the old lighting system which was more similar to what we would see in SA2.

Side note; we also get a clearer look at the old Chaos 0 fight area ( City Hall ) which was larger and had two buildings at the entrance which were later removed.

And we get another look at the old Windy Valley:

More technical changes are documented on this page: http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=31432&view=findpost&p=863821
What's interesting here is that there's a camera file leftover that was likely used for one of the three cut stages.

All in all good time to be a Sonic Adventure fan, really interesting to still see new things being uncovered about the game's mysterious development.

 

[Deleted member]

You know sometimes i see a lot of people complaining how "Sonic has never worked in 3D"........

........yet they never bring up any other Video Game series that also had a hard time getting into 3D, like Earthworm Jim for example.

Just a thought that popped into my head.

DISCLAIMER: Im not a part of the "Sonic doesn't work in 3D club", just in case you're wondering.

The original Sonic Adventure already had better lighting than SADX, but some of these look even better. That first one especially looks great.

 

[Chandeelure]

Juri's new outfit looks like a combination of the last Smash DLC characters.



Weird skin tight suit with no shoes.


She looks better in lV.

HOLY **** BATMAN, A TOAD WITH A DIFFERENT OUTFIT IN 2016

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[MainJPW]

It also originally ran at 60fps:

If all of those clips are from the same build, and not throughout development, this tells us that the game struggled to stay 60 FPS most of the time, like it does on the eventual Gamecube port years later. It'd make sense if they locked the frame rate to 30 instead of 60. This was also probably running on a Dev kit, which maybe explains why the prototype versions had a better lighting system than the final release versions.

 

[Chandeelure]

I actually wouldn't be happy even if every Toad in that game had a different outfit.

I just don't like Toad.

Would you believe me if i told you that i find this discovery more interesing than the Breakdancing Pig?

No really, i thought that all Toads had the same outfit, so this took me by suprrise. Yeah im weird.

The best part of this video was the two seconds of Segata Sanshiro.

Man, Juri's Critical Art has to be the lamest looking one in the game.

My biggest regret still is never getting to play the Dreamcast version of SA1.

These beta screens look quite good as well.

I thought this was confirmed a while ago when the event was announced. Plus, this event is essentially a Sonic Boom event (not the show, I mean the concert/convention thing the Americans have been getting annually for a while now), just made a bit bigger for the Anniversary.

Oh well, it's hype either way!

I also can't wait until Summer of Sonic since Crush 40 is doing a concert there too.

 

[AndreaAC]

See, at least Ridley is in the game AndreaAC .

Well, almost.

What a misfortune for him to have to appear even as something like that in such a disgraceful game.

 

[Z25]

Do you guys know how to fix the "GPS signal not found" problem in Pokemon GO?

While like ChikoLad said, it is an usually unfixable problem. One of 3 things will sometimes fix it but it's all random.:

1) game will fix itself quickly and work again.

2)sometimes heading into your maps app and then back to go works.

3) Resetting the phone and rebooting could work occasionally. I have an Iphone so I don't know about Android. But holding down the power button till it says power off and then sliding it. After this wait a few seconds and hold down your power to reboot. Then going back to the app might fix it.

Granted they don't always work but may help occasionally.



Now on a side note:

What time tomorrow is the Sonic stream in EST?

This is an interesting crossover. I like it. Wait, was Hello Kitty one of those poll options for what crossovers you'd want to see?

Oh and I think I captured the Hail Hydra name perfectly with this:

View attachment 112758

The Hello Kitty crossover was teased a loooooooooooooong time ago.

It's been in the works for ages. Went dead for a while for no reason. And recently resurfaced.

So I don't think it has anything to do with that poll.

There's a lot I disagree with in this one but I'll leave it here for others to have a look.

People can talk mad trash about Sonic 06 as much as they like, but you have to admit, it has a pretty damn good soundtrack

I'm avoiding Twitter tomorrow because there's some rumors and rumblings of leaks and I am not letting this ruin it the live stream for me.

Some of the Sonic games I want the most is full-on remakes of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.

Improvements in level design and gameplay, updated music, improving the animations of cutscenes, probably rewrite the script a bit (nothing too major), and include stuff that was originally meant to be in the game. Things like the scrapped dragon boss in Sky Chase.
