The lack of Chao Garden is really why Sonic's been downhill.

And you know I'm unironically 100% correct in saying this.

Wait, why is this actually true?

Chao haven't pjysically appeared in a main series game since Lost World (they were in Colors DS befkre anyone says anything) and the series has been going downhill with that game following.

The Chao were the key to all this

Y'know, with this thread talkin' 'bout Sonic lately, I feel inspired.

Inspired to make a Sonic tier list later tonight, as this only ever ends in peaceful discussions.

They’re all **** except for 3D Blast.

Guys guys I have the best news

[PeridotGX]

What if Chief is the bonus fighter revealed by that website leak and you only get him if you buy Xbox Game Pass on Switch.

That would suck. Putting a character behind a $60 paywall? I'm not doing that.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

There’s only 2 Sonic games that are masterpieces Mania and Generations. The rest range from good to awful.

 

[MooMew64]

Fun fact: Part of what started the second Sonic decline after Generations was the fact all the talented people who made the games people actually like jumped ship from Sega to Nintendo.

The Colors devs and Generatiosn devs? They bounced, lol.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

For a limited time of course. If you're willing to wait you can buy him for standard price. Xbox Live Game Pass customers get him for free early!

No, Sonic Blast.

This game is actually ****ing ass lmao

You know what. I take it back. I forgot how rocking the Sonic Advance series was.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Techno Base and Chaos Angel are my two favorite levels to this day from that trilogy. Easy S tier.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Everyone knows that these two are of the best in the series:

Would love a remaster like the FF PS1 games with those.

 

[MooMew64]

Advance lets you play as Amy and Cream without mods, so it's good by default.

I would love for them to give the Rise of Lyric Slower-paced Collectathon another shot. Y’know without the whole “Sega intentionally trying to kill the game and bankrupt the company” part.

It’s great that Big Red Button is still doing stuf though. So take THAT Sega.

 

[BlondeLombax]

Glad to hear Sony is going back on the shutting down on the PS3 and PSVita stores

Now all they have to do is address the situation on Japan Studio, the LoU remake rumors, and the reported forced bricking of their consoles, and they may have a chance on winning back all their PR that they lost these last few weeks (or not, I can’t tell anymore).

It’s great that Big Red Button is still doing stuf though. So take THAT Sega.

Really? Wow, good for them! What are they making now?

What a coincidence, cause I was literally just thinking about them.

Nostalgia man, I played Sonic Rush alot as a kid.

also the ost slaps, as you would expect from a Sonic game

Oh nice, Portal Reloaded just came out today.

Need to redownload Steam first.

Shout outs to the "sEe, sEgA sTiLl doEs WhAt NiNtENdON'T!!!111!!!1" tweets that hype the company up as the greatest saints that ever lived and have never done a bad ever just because they let mods and fan content exist.

You know, some jokes that are thrown about say that SEGA lets fan games exist because they know they can't make a decent Sonic game themselves anymore. Whether or not that's true is open to interpretation.

You haven’t seen anything yet, son

yes this is an actual game

 

[MooMew64]

It's more that they realize the passionate community is the only thing that's kept Sonic alive through the years.

The one thing they admittedly do "get" better than Nintendo is that fostering a community that's passionate about your products and IP can go a huge way in keeping your brand relevant and engaging through ups and downs, and Sonic (for better and a lot of times worse) is one of the biggest, loudest, most diverse fandoms out there that really like the thing they like. By engaging with that and encouraging that, you build up a brand that can sustain itself through rough patches by having people who will stick by it just simply because they love to talk about it and share it with one another.

 

[Noipoi]

It’s no secret that Sonic survived several disasters that would’ve outright killed another series, mostly by the strength of the fanbase.

It's because people do not care until it affects them.

If you think that is bad, you should have seen the news behind Sonic X-Treme being cancelled. Apparently, Sega's business politics, even back then, were so bad it caused the game, and Sega Technical Institute who was making it, to be cancelled and closed respectively.

On another topic, I've been working on these for a while now. I've shared them all before, but I'm just showing them off in case they were missed. What do you guys think, and do you have any suggestions?

One of these days they’re gonna think a fan game is overstepping boundaries and take it down.

Gonna be a heck of a wake up call.

And do like the Crash one.

I got this from DevaAshera a few weeks back. Go ham.

Sometimes you remember something you’re fond of and nostalgic for, sometimes you remember something you used to play but can’t anymore...


and other times you remember actual garbage like this

like, this barely qualifies as a game, even for an educational one.

Streets of Rage fangame was a thing, but then they'll defend it's C&D because... you can still find it?


Sega fanboys are weird.

 

[Wademan94]

Got a train going with my Sonic Clash part 2, but hit a couple roadblocks. Gonna ask a couple questions.

So I’m hitting Knuckles’s story atm. Who would be the best (Sonic related) opponents for Knuckles to face? Also trying to think of some potential level mashups that could happen, like two areas/levels from across the Sonic mashed together in visually and musically interesting ways, any potential ideas for this?
