My first batch of SAGE reviews is up on TSSZ.
http://www.tssznews.com/2014/02/24/sage-2014-review-slew-1/
Got all of the SonicGDK stuff out of the way, plus an interesting Jazz Jackrabbit Sonic mod.

I still can't believe the dialogue in Shadow the Hedgehog was actually a thing.
i still need to play that game
but after secret rings i never want to play a sonic game again

You'll be pleased to know that Shadow the Hedgehog, unlike Secret Rings, at least still plays like a (bad) 3D Sonic game.

Only do 2 or 3 levels of Shadow at a time
Enjoy the terrible low-budget action movie plot
Find that DAMN 4th Chaos Emerald. And the computer room, while you're at it.
I think even that is giving the plot of Shadow too much credit. Due to the slip shot editing of the branching story lines, some scenes make zero sense in the context of the choices you made up to that point, drop plot lines left and right, and lead to just plain dumb conclusions. Beyond that, the dialogue is terrible with some of the dialogue being non-sequiters, the character models are so horrible and animate so terribly in cutscenes I have to wonder how this got Okay'd to be released beyond "They were too cheap to put any more effort into it", the voice acting is subpar, and ultimately all of your choices are meaningless as there is a "Last Story" segment which, due to its set up, makes most of the endings straight up impossible to have actually happened.
Seriously, Shadow the Hedgehog just sucks.

I hate to say that you guys told me so with respect to Lightning Returns, but you told me so with respect to Lightning Returns. I didn't beat the JP version, and now I'm on the road to beating the English version and all I can do is get frustrated with how stupidly designed the game is.
And Shadow the Hedgehog's plot is dumb. Shadow's popular with the kids, and the last few games have been story-oriented, so throw Shadow in a D-grade action movie with silly gameplay. They'll buy it. They always do.
Edit: That Sonic Boom "footage" reminds me so much of Sonic Heroes that I dunno, man. I hope there are piano diddlies playing as Sonic and friends prepare to break Eggman's thumbs and legs to cover a debt.

Wow, that's a pretty good start. Wonder how it's going to look in the next release because it looks kinda decent already. iirc, you said it handles kinda weird in some spots, so I hope that gets fixed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNLr3fNBD88

No more Kate Higgins as Tails. Proof positive that the universe loves to shit on Sakura.
After watching that video, I'm much more interested in the show than I am the videogame.

Hee Hee, now with longer legs to shatter and an infinitely more bone crunching Knuckles.

I've asked this before: are the Colours writers doing anything for the Boom game or show, because everything I've heard is miles better than what they've done for the series thus far.
SEGAbits, a site I write for, put up a podcast with an interview with Stephen Frost (the producer of Sonic Boom): http://segabits.com/blog/2014/02/25...rview-with-sonic-boom-producer-stephen-frost/

Gotta admit, after the segment at 6:50 or so, my worries about the show are put to rest, unless the editing screws up the pacing. I think they could just release an audio CD, and it'd be entertaining.
The game looks like it's pushing the Wii U, as well, probably more than any other third party will this year.

That looked pretty much the same though.

Yeah, I'm honestly somewhat excited for the show now. I think it'll be a decent thing if the scripts are strong and the animation gets a little stronger. I think they're still in "pilot" territory where not everything's going to be incredibly refined right away (ie: the animation/models).
So who knows? Might be a success, might not.

I suppose it depends on how you define "scripting". Are boost pads scripting? They aren't necessarily to me, though it depends on how they're used.
In most modern Sonic games, booster pads or not, there are a lot of sections where Sonic's speed and direction is forced to be a certain value and player input is frequently taken away (or seriously impaired).
That's not the case in that Havok Harbor level at all. Yes, there are boosters and launchers, but there's not usually anything forcing you to use them. They are often positioned in such a way that if you want, you can bypass them entirely. There's a grand total of one section where you are locked down in to a scripted path, and it's that big yellow "road" leading up to the 2D section (not the quickstep section, after that).

On the other hand Amy's voice actress hasn't changed, so cross your fingers and pray for a vastly different direction there.

Second day of my SAGE reviews are up.
Tomorrow's the last day! Unless I end up giving Sonic Chrono Adventure a full-length review. (It is a complete game, after all)

Funny as hell, I was wondering the same thing earlier today as well.Sciz you lazy bum what happened to SOTD?/s
Sciz you lazy bum what happened to SOTD?/s
Lots of real life stuff happened all at once, and by the time that settled I realized I was pretty burned out on the idea after going for four months straight. Turns out even I can only listen to so much of this stuff before needing to leave it alone for a while.
If someone else wants to take a shot at it on a regular basis, go for it.

Yeah, great job Sciz. Looking forward to the next time you make another song post, but don't go forcing yourself to do it.
I'm so proud to know that I have left a legacy.

It might be just me but she sounds less like Minnie Mouse than before. All Cindy Robinson needs is a tweak in the direction, she has the skill.

It was really weird hearing those voices coming straight from the VAs themselves. Especially Amy and Tails.

Haha, I know someone who's pretty good with voices and seeing him actually do it is really interesting!
I actually like watching people do voices because I guess it's my linguistics background and I was in drama for so long, but it's so cool. Stuff you normally wouldn't expect.
I think you did a good job with it. Introduced some fun stuff to me, even.

Aha, that's why I space out my soundtrack listening too. Usually after SotY, I get a little burned out and need to give myself a break, for example, since I have to listen to almost every single album released in the year over the span of 3-4 months.
