I feel that this thread makes sense to ask the following...
Billy Hatcher? what's the verdict?
It popped up in my charity shop when I was working there today and would only cost me £2, i've played the multiplayer numerous times but have barely seen the single player, I might have to make an extra trip down there later this week to snatch it up.

I bought it, based on my enjoyment with the demo on the Nintendo Gamecube demo disc way back when, but honestly I didn't really care for the full product that much. The ~$3 you'd pay for it here, though, is probably worth it, since the opening worlds are still kind of fun. It just gets annoyingly hard annoyingly fast.

who da fak is Hironobu Kageyama??????

This Japanese guy.

He's Mr. DBZ!

He composed most of the songs for Dragonball Z, such as:
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
We Gotta Power
"Ya" na Koto ni wa Genkai-Dama!!
Unmei no Hi: Tamashii tai Tamashii (Gohan Super Saiyajin 2)
Kiseki no Honô yo Moeagare (DBZ: Burst Limit)

...or that. Quoting since I unceremoniously left it to die on the last page.

I think what I remember most about Sonic X was it's 3rd season. Instead of recreating Sonic Heroes and onward, they decided to make some space arc that would have the displeasure of being compared to Star Wars. What people probably remember from that season was that one character that ended up becoming the catalyst for a lot of shipping fanfiction.

Spoiler

Though I do think it was cool how they had to make Tails the one to shoot her at the end. It's probably one of the few legitimate sad scenes I've ever seen in something Sonic related.

 

[Kokonoe]

I never watched the arc with that character above. I never had the time to back then.

He's Mr. DBZ!

He composed most of the songs for Dragonball Z, such as:
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
We Gotta Power
"Ya" na Koto ni wa Genkai-Dama!!
Unmei no Hi: Tamashii tai Tamashii (Gohan Super Saiyajin 2)
Kiseki no Honô yo Moeagare (DBZ: Burst Limit)

I like We Gotta Power and the Burst Limit one.

We Gotta Power is one of the tracks I actually like from the Japanese OST, it's really well done.

 

[qq more]

Man, Naka sure love his DBZ!

 

[Kokonoe]

They should use these people for future Knuckles levels.

 

[Sciz]

It isn't the first thing he's done for Sega, either. Hironobu Kageyama sang the theme song for Rent-a-Hero No. 1, which had already been performed by none other than Takenobu Mitsuyoshi for Fighters Megamix. It culminated in the two of them performing it live, which probably qualifies as a crowning achievement in the history of music.

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

Kageyama did a lot more than Dragon Ball Z, though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hironobu_Kageyama

DBZ is probably his most well-known thing, but more broadly, he composes music for "super hero" (tokusatsu) shows and is pretty legendary in that field. He also did the Japanese dub of Eye of the Tiger for Rocky 3, for what that's worth.

 

[Professor Beef]

He's Mr. DBZ!

He composed most of the songs for Dragonball Z, such as:
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
We Gotta Power

Those two were always my favorite, especially We Gotta Power because of that godlike intro sequence.

 

[TheOGB]

I'm playing Sonic Rush for the first time in over a year and DAMN do I miss this soundtrack. So good

He's Mr. DBZ!

Cha-La Head-Cha-La

Wow, never realized that.

They should use these people for future Knuckles levels.

I always thought that was Killa Mike

Sounds frustrating, well if i'm feeling up to it I may dive in.

FOUR Sonic Adventure 3 domains registered by... someone

http://www.tssznews.com/2012/07/23/four-sonic-adventure-3-domains-registered-by-someone/

I will say this: If someone in France is pulling everyone's leg, he or she did due diligence. Four domains seem a bit expensive for a prank.

http://twitter.com/tssznews/status/227505179782680576

Edit: make that SIX

UPDATE: Thanks to some tips, we've found two more SA3 branded domains. .eu and .fr have been registered by the same company. Interesting.

 

[Sciz]

As much as Sega leaks, I don't think we've ever found out about a Sonic game via domain registrations.

 

[OMG Aero]

shadi stop it
if you keep talking about sonic adventure 3 it might come true

 

[ShadiWulf]

lol, im honestly looking forward to peoples reactions to the news. so it would be entertaining if it did get announced.

i believe that's how we found out about sonic 4.. when it was known as needlemouse

 

[Dark Schala]

I want a Sonic World Adventure 2 instead.

 

[Kokonoe]

I want a Sonic World Adventure 2 instead.

If it is without Chip, I'll take that as well.

 

[OMG Aero]

I want Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine 2.

 

[Kokonoe]

Sonic Pop.

 

[Professor Beef]

I want a Sonic Adventure where one of the areas he gets to explore is the MUSHROOM KINGDOM because, after the endgame battle, Robotnik tries to escape to another galaxy.

Mushroom (Hill) Kingdom

 

[Kokonoe]

Mushroom King of the Hill

 

[Pietepiet]

I just want a new Sonic game with the Modern gameplay style from Generations. Not a sequel to anything.

 

[Nocturnowl]

If it is without Chip, I'll take that as well.

Don't you mean Werehog?
Though Chip can also be removed.
Sonic needs to go to "Angleland" and get chased down the street by a double decker bus.

 

[Kokonoe]

I'd assume people knew the obvious on those. No repetitive, time consuming medal collecting, No Werehog. No Chip is something personally I'd like out.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Chip is an odd one, really there isn't anything that offensive about him but I just don't like him.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Spoiler

I know you were joking about "England", but this is what came to mind

 

[Kokonoe]

Chip is an odd one, really there isn't anything that offensive about him but I just don't like him.

I guess I just don't like the design.

The hair on the top looks odd, like too silly. The facial features look more like a skull, which I think looks weird at how evident it is. I also didn't like the voice that much either, I'd rather hear Omochao to be honest.

There's only one other Sonic character out there that I don't like the design of in appearance, and that's Silver that I can think of, game-wise.

 

[Pietepiet]

I like Chip's design, but his voice and overall personality annoy me to no end. I also really hated how he was animated, like they were trying to make him funny but failed miserably which just turned all of his background animations during cutscenes into embarrassment.

Also, yes, Silver is a horrible design. Rouge is also on that list for me.

 

[Shadow Hog]

I guess I just don't like the design.

It's the toes, isn't it? After years of Sonic characters not having them (provided they're ever not wearing shoes, which apparently Sega has a thing against), suddenly having a toed Sonic character must've been a shock. Don't worry, we can get through this.

 

[TheOGB]

I want Sonic Rush 3DS. Not really though.

I want a Sonic World Adventure 2 instead.

Actually yeah, let's go with this

Mushroom King of the Hill

"That Robotnik fella just ain't right, I tell you what."

 

[BlackJace]

I want Sonic Rush 3DS. Not really though.

Why not? Rush was great.

 

[TheOGB]

It's not so much that I don't want it or dislike Rush, but I guess it's just lower on my list of Sonic priorities.

Spoiler

That, and if Marine isn't going to be around then I'm not as interested :|

 

[Shadow Hog]

I want Sonic Rush 3DS.

Not really though.

...oh.

 

[Professor Beef]

"That Robotnik fella just ain't right, I tell you what."

I sell chili dogs and chili dog accessories.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

All this SA3 talk is coverup for the true upcoming game: Sonic R 2, the next evolution of the Unleashed/Colours/Generations formula with a focus on racing featuring a new Richard Jacques/TJ Davies soundtrack and Hirokazu Yasuhara's return to the series as track designer (this accounts for the "collaboration with Nintendo" part of the Dimensions rumour, given that he's now at NST).

 

[Dark Schala]

I sell chili dogs and chili dog accessories.

Yeah man, I tell ya what, man. That dang ol' Internet, man. You just go on there and point and click. Talk about W-W-dot-W-com.

Need the Sonic equivalent of Rusty Shackleford, and we'll be all set. God, I miss King of the Hill so much.

Also, I don't mind Chip. But that might be because I played half of Unleashed with the Japanese voice, including the ending. Chip's English voice is kind of weird, but the seiyuu fits for the most part.

I think he was okay when he didn't speak. His miming stuff could sometimes be funny. Mainly during the hidden CG cartoons. His English voice just made me wanna strangle him.

Paging Sega1991. With his talk about the recent games, I'm sure he'd legitimately like to see that happen.

I like where this is going.

 

[TheOGB]

Knuckles the Echidna as Bill Dauterive

 

[Shadow Hog]

Who's Bobby, then?

 

[Professor Beef]

Knuckles the Echidna as Bill Dauterive

Knuckles would fit better as Dale since he thinks the Government is out to steal his Emeralds.

I would legitimately be okay with this.

 

[Aaron Strife]

I'm not gonna lie.

I loved every Sonic cartoon when I was a kid. I was a fanboy before I even knew what that was.

SatAM is the only one that holds up on its own though. AOSTH is unrestrained wackiness which only works sometimes and Underground is lame shit. I never really watched Sonic X but it never left an impression on me.

Mama Robotnik is the best Robotnik though

I think a CGI Sonic cartoon set in the Unleashed universe would work really well.

 

[Dark Schala]

You know, I was honestly thinking of making the thread regarding SA3 earlier but ultimately decided against it because it would turn into the same old discussion that every Sonic thread on gaming side turns into.

If they make the theoretical Sonic Adventure 3 the way they did Sonic World Adventure, then maybe I'll be more enthusiastic and receptive towards it. By that, I mean, the awesome NPC designs, the NPC missions, locale diversity, many different stages, music genre diversity, etc.

Just no medal stuff because I think people just didn't feel the need to scour every level for medals, even in the Werehog stages. And hey, at the very most in a Sonic World Adventure, they can make Sonic 1 character, and Knuckles another if they speed up the Werehog's movements and make the level design better.

 

[TheOGB]

Aesthetic of Unleashed
Levels/level progression of SA1
Missions of Unleashed
Music a mix of both
Online Chao Garden

What say you, SonicGAF? Frankenstein together Adventure 3

 

[Dark Schala]

I would prefer that they don't push in a heckuva lot of characters until they perfect the gameplay for every. single. one (which may or may not take several games to do; I think they were trying to perfect Sonic's gameplay across Unleashed/Colours/Generations, though). They can fit Knuckles in at the moment if they speed up Werehog, fix the levels, trade Knuckles's model in for Werehog's, etc.

Tails is kind of an iffy one because I hope he doesn't have that weird ring attack. No Tornado sections, though.

As for online Chao Gardens, you should be able to get them done offline too! D:

Slightly slower Sonic + Green Wisp hover ability = Modern Tails
