[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Dumb to count KNY here (especially since it kinda ruins the whole pic). It was published by Aniplex, just licensed to SEGA for localization in the West.

It's not that serious as it was just a random pic that was shared underneath Genki's tweet, and that's why I even put it under a spoiler tag.

Sonic Generations had the most inoffensive nothing of a story and they STILL thought someone might cut themselves on those safety scissors. All this while making it a tie in for their edgiest character. What does that say about their future products? What else will they sanitize from their past?

Ya get tired of seeing every series ya love getting hijacked by insufferable moral busybodies that bark louder than any bitch I’ve ever seen.

Agree. The game was for kids and still got things changed for the sake of what? And people think you shouldn't bother 'because'.

Instead of eating things completely, they take little bites to cause this behavior on people.

I remember people going nuts when they replace the Spider-Man actor from the game, even IGN made articles about. You don't even spend much time playing Petter as a student, most of the time you are with a mask.
But was OK to complain.

I dont even think bugs bunny with moobs caused any controversy

Some things were changed for the better. The original had them not remembering Chemical Plant but in this one they clearly remember it.

Ignoring the people giving the racist grifter attention in this thread…

The actual remaster of the original is really good. Even better than the FPS boosted BC version. Worth it to upgrade.

Biggest improvement is the loading but on PS5 there really shouldn't be any.

As if anyone gives a shit who the messenger is. What the dude is pointing out is the problem.

It is nice to see a great game get such a solid remaster though. The gameplay was already a blast so clean performance and less jaggies is undoubtedly a win.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

About removing lives remove the purpose of collecting rings?

I hate that trend in recent platformers! Stupid, stupid trends in videogames devs always gotta follow the herd apparently

Completed Shadow Generations with all chests, all bolts, and S ranks and this has been the most fun I had with a 3D Sonic game since Unleashed.

Level-design is excellent, we are finally back to the quality of Unleashed. Generations is quite weak compared to it (it already was compared to Unleashed anyway), but Shadow is a must play for anyone interested in Sonic games or a good platformer overall. As with all good Sonic games, it will be a blast to come back to every once in a while for a couple hours, the time to go through all stages again.

What do you mean "Sanitise"? What the fuck was in a Sonic story that was so dramatic and avantgarde? Apart from the human princess that kissed Sonic? Which I think we are all fairly comfortable with saying should be sanitised.
Stop whining over nothing consequential.

I spent most of my time trying to rebeat Sonic Gens but what I've played of Shadow so far, I'd agree. The levels are a whole nother league. Sonic gens levels weren't bad but just don't compare.

 

[Fat Frog]

Sonic fans, enjoy a rare 80+ Metacritic while you can. No doubt more reviews will drag it down to 78/79.

Still at 80% with far more reviews than Sonic Gen 2011 .

It's not surprising since the Shadow campaign could be the best 3D Sonic with Adventures and Unleashed best parts.

Shadow Generations and Sonic Dream Team's only flaw is their short duration.
It's a fantastic news for recent Sonic, they just need more stages, more updates to be great. (Only remasters of old inferior games and dumb gamespot reviews are dragging Shadow gens down)


EXCELLENT

Dude, I’m not sure I can help you if you can’t read.

That’s the POINT!

The game is wonderful. Hope this is the new direction for the Sonic team with one side giving us the boost style gameplay and the other line giving us Frontiers style gameplay
