Shiiiit, Omega, Vector and Metal Sonic playable too!? I'm on board
Wait, do we even know how characters are unlocked?
peace out
Perfection.
It looks like the characters will be added by future updates. So far you can unlock Tails and Knuckles by progressing through the story and you can unlock Amy by getting 10 of your friends to play the game.
Also, for anyone interested, I transcribed the credits of the game: http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=33831&view=findpost&p=817951
Ah. Hopefully the promotional characters are the exception, rather than the rule.

I made a Fakebook for gaming, including to try to unlock Amy (10 people is pretty crazy). If you wouldn't mind helping (I think you must have to click the invite link, even if it's not unlocked for your region):

new iizuka Japanese interview with a lot of new pictures. apparently he confirms Sonic isn't mobile exclusive and they are working on a console game.
its a pretty long interview. surely he talks more about more than just sonic runners. Anyone who knows Japanese wanna look through it and share any interesting parts?

this has been making rounds on the internet
good to see Sonic Team is writing the dialogue for Sonic games again. They seem to be the only ones who think their characters should say words like damn.
Well, Japanese is also kind of a tricky language to translate from, especially when it comes to swearing. A lot of swear words change in intensity based on the intonation in which they're said.
Like, "kuso" is regularly translated to "shit," but you'll still hear characters in kids cartoons say it. The same goes for words that routinely get translated to things like "bastard," etc.
You could probably blame the cheap translator more than Sonic Team themselves.
I think Sonic Team knows that they are intentionally making their characters say damn
oh, and shadow the hedgehog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7VpN2K1ytA
i personally don't see anything wrong with Sonic characters saying damn. its a creative decision by Sonic Team. i know it bothers some people though.
All joking aside, I had a quick check and it's potty mouth Shadow doing all the 'Damn!' speech

But in that regard, all of the potty-mouth dialog in that game was because they were lifting voice clips from Shadow the Hedgehog, a game intended to be "dark" and "edgy."
I'm willing to bet this instance is just a sloppy translation. Sega's always been one of the more engrish-y companies out there.

I'm still a bit surprised I voted for Sonic Adventure 2, it feels so wrong yet so right.

so when's the non-Japanese soundtrack of the generation thread starting up
when we do the 360/PS3/Wii SOTG thread
I expect there to be much more western representation for the last gen games/soundtrack of the generation threads.

now that i understand all the work that goes into these things these days (there's a lot more to it than when i ran the goty threads), i'll be ready to do a generation 5 vote some other time. earliest would be this summer... after the convention season. maybe august?
i think the latest could be even january-february 2016. and then do gen 7 a year after that.
going further back than the psx/n64/saturn era is probably going to have very low participation. i don't think there will be a lot of people for gen 5 anyway, but hopefully people in communities can tell people about the threads.

I remember Heroes having some nice beats. 14 is a tad high, I guess.

I honestly couldn't find the time to try and figure out the best soundtrack for the entire generation, since I knew that'd take me, like, days just to fathom.
7th gen is weird for me because I don't think I can name 10 games that I truly deem "classic" from last gen...
These 6 for sure:
Dark Souls
Galaxy
Galaxy 2
Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Street Fighter IV
Megaman 9
I can think of a couple on the cusp.
Gen 5 on the other hand? shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Pretty sure I'd break three posts with my write ups on that one. It will be incredibly difficult to make a top 10 from N64, PS1, Saturn and I'm guessing GBC.

Even between the two of these, we're still missing Xenoblade (which personally tops my list), Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (seriously guys?), Skyrim, Portal and Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, the Ace Attorney series (up to Investigations 2), the Professor Layton series, Mario & Luigi 2 and 3, Mega Man 10, Nier, The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy XIII (assuming that had good music, didn't play it), Borderlands, Assassin's Creed, Bayonetta, No More Heroes, Sonic 2006 (shitty game, but I love its soundtrack)... and whatever else is on that "Iconic Gen 7 tunes" playlist Schala colloborated with Twitter on a week or so ago that I neglected to mention.

7th gen soundtracks will be a madhouse, it makes the recent music vote look like a breeze for me.
Also it is just me or are most of the people who tend to gripe about the lack of western soundtracks also the people that never actually vote?
Aside from the thrillingly exciting pick of OoT as my number 1.
I get the feeling that the soundtrack and game rankings will align for at least half of them.
Well I better push through these PS1 classics I have on my vita, some nonsense about Bandicoot racing that OGB may have mentioned once or twice and this Suiko-something that I think someone here really likes.
It's uncanny that the few good stages in heroes also have the better music.
See also Ocean Palace and umm...I'm sure there were others.
Indies alone should help boost that one on the western front.

Summer for Gen 5 will give me enough time to recharge the batteries, outside of my main favourites I'm actually not sure how my list ends up for that one.

Gen V OST: Paper Mario

Egg Fleet? Least that was the highlight of the game for me. I'd love to see an updated take on that.
