I think part of me only sticks around Sonic because just to see what silliness happens next.

As soon as someone makes a knock-off kickstarted "homage" that perfectly mimics the artistry of the original games I'm out.

Don't call it a knock-off, though.

Not even close. Freedom Planet is it's own beast and is a far cry from perfectly mimicking the artistry of the original games. It's a good game but not what he's talking about.

Took the words right outta my mouth. Should've pre-empted that.

It's not a 1:1 Blonic the Porcupine game, but it scratches a lot of the itches that Sonic hasn't provided lately, and to say it doesn't seems silly to me. Personally I find crowdfunded games that follow their inspirations to a T very shameless and uncreative, so I'm not 100% on board with the idea of just making a Sonic game without the IP.

It's not like SEGA is doing anything worthwhile with it, I'd rather give my money to someone who cares.

Like I will with Freedom Planet when it comes out on Wii U, and will with anyone else who takes a respectable swing at it.

Guys is this week real? Like seriously. We get Sonic Boom 2, Mario and Sonic 5, and this. Fucking this.

What the fuck is going on over there? Like seriously Fire and Ice is the perfect name for the Sonic Boom sequel (never thought I'd say those three words in succession). They're just fucking Sonic everyday over there aren't they?

[Yeow]

First a Boom sequel and now this. It's like Boom's failure and the restructuring process has caused to Sega start swallowing swallowing crazy pills like there is no tomorrow.

I haven't played Dash in ages. I've found Jump/Jump Fever and Runners to an extent more enjoyable, but I don't even play those games anymore.

I recommend you try Looney Tunes Dash which is very addictive. I've played it for countless hours.

So er, yeah, Dash isn't my cup of tea.

I'll keep waiting for SEGA to bring the other classic games to mobile (gonna be a long wait).

Oh, I've played Looney Tunes Dash. It was okay, certainly started off better than Dash and I liked that it had an arcade mode for a change, though it was sadly lacking an endless run mode as well. It got tiresome quickly when the criteria for clearing a stage got ridiculous and you had a lives system on top of that.

Still, it's better than Sonic Angry Birds.

[Mykonos]

I liked the overhaul to Sonic Dash's scoring system (putting the score doubler behind the Dash seemed dumb at first, but ultimately gave you a good reason to actually use the Dash which is smarter), but this gave me enough motivation to delete the app and give myself a bit more space on my phone.

I get that this is probably a smart business decision or whatever, but man this week is really curbstomping any enthusiasm I was trying to reserve for Sonic. At least Aaron is making the Twitter a delight.

Oh boy. It kinda feels like they've just hit the panic button, multiple times; drunk.

Maybe we'll get Sonic The Hedgehog (2016), featuring Werehog, Princess Elise, Sticks, that Racoon from Sonic Rush Adventure and the Babylon Rogues. I can dream right?

[Retroman]

Wat?

[NHY]

So I grinded it out and unlocked the Red bird. It floats instead of running but still does a spinndash like Sonic ( which is kind of funny. )

Get this, instead of the normal sound effect, the bird freaking SQEEKS ( or whatever noise they normally make ) when your in the air section when you press the coressponding direction on the screen. Also, the requirements to upgrade him are higher, not going to bother even thinking of doing that until I max out Sonic first.

I don't think Sonic Dash is a bad mobile game ( drians my battery like hell, though ) but this is a bit silly I got to admit. I hope no one with half a brain ended up buying the most expensive chest of red rings and rings though, that thing costs over 100 Euro real money!

I'm just wondering when SAGE 2015 is. It's become very evident that fangames are the future of Sonic at this point.

[Ayu Tsukimiya]

I wonder what kind of hard drugs Sega executives take before making business decisions.

[LordOfSquad]

I fixed their promotional image to make the art styles more consistent. Enjoy.
