    Stealth talked with George and I on the latest podcast, talking about the development of CD, 1, and 2 as well as the Sonic 3 proof of concept and other Sonic-related stuff. Check it out: http://segabits.com/...-12-remastered/

    I think TimmiT is mixing "I like Paper Mario so thats what they should go with" and assuming they aren't doing the design on purpose.

    I was saying that 2D drawings on 3D platforms can be done well and used Paper Mario as an example of it being done well, not how it should be done. In that game the 2D drawings look like they belong in the world, rather than looking like two completely different styles that don't mesh well. Which in my opinion is the problem with the new Toejam and Earl's visual style. I hope that it'll improve, but the way the 3D world is stylized in early trailers doesn't give me much hope.


    The argument isn't "are they done well or not" the argument is "are the 2D characters on a 3D map intentional", and yes they are.

    From the Kickstarter:

    Quote

    "Fixed isometric camera, 2D sprites, simple controls, and an emphasis on coop play. It will also pull in some of the more beloved elements from game two, AND we have a list of exciting new gameplay elements planned as well."

    "3D Terrain: Don't worry we won't make you sick and confused with an over-the-shoulder POV camera like we had in game 3. Nevertheless, 3D terrain will let us do some really FUN stuff. We can zoom in to see characters better, or zoom way out to see the stacked levels. You can now see the levels way below you, and when you fall, where you land on the level below makes sense. Also, we'll have hills! So what? I can answer that with 2 words... ROOOCKET SKAAAAATES!!. "


    The graphics are in an early state and their aesthetics are subjective.

  3. In Topic: HELP ME PICK DONATION MERCH.

    I voted shirt, but for any use I have a high res version of Opa Opa ready to use. It's the one from our latest logo, all cleaned up and pretty.

    I remember the Sonic movie being confirmed in the Sonic Grams letter section of one issue. It was always a surreal thing to me as a kid, because I never heard anything else about a Sonic movie before or after that issue.


    Can you recall the issue? Blake was asking me if it was mentioned in the comics and I said yes, but I didn't have a source.

  5. In Topic: French MegaDrive book

    01 November 2014 - 05:43 PM

    I don't know, it doesn't look like the Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works book. It has similar photos, but the design doesn't match. I'll tweet the author and see what it is.
