    yeah I have no idea why they went out of their way to clarify that the X is pronounced because that's literally wrong, most if not all media that does "Thing x Other Thing" just never pronounces the X lol
    final bosses in Kirby games be like

  2. Well, if it's a Japanese thing...it's usually "Thing 'Cross' Thing".

    The 'X' does get pronounced in stuff like that.

    Regarding the poster, this is probably the first time I've ever got this feeling. It looks fan made, that's the vibe I'm getting and it's probably because of how...earnest it looks.
     
  3. This radiates so much 2000s energy. You can definitely tell how passionate Sega are about this particular project.

    I don't expect the final product to be amazing as pure the usual with Sonic games, but the marketing has certainly been on point this time around.
     
  4. Oh, yeah… I must have temporarily got it confused with Hunter X Hunter (I was a few drinks deep lol). If you head back a few pages, I was arguing for Sonic CROSS Shadow. Either way, Sonic EKS Shadow isn’t how I imagined this being said.

    This goes fucking hard and I won't pretend it doesn't.

    Also, it's so great that for once SEGA's not using Green Hill for promotional material for Sonic Generations. Great seeing Speed Highway there.

    GPU minimum requirement on PC got slightly raised from a GT 730 to a GTX 550 Ti. And it's now noted that will only get you 30 FPS 720p. The rest of the minimum specs remain the same. Meanwhile, recommended specs were lowered (aside from the RAM, that got raised from 8 GB to 12). But the CPU was lowered from a Core i7-6700k to a Core i7-2600, and the GPU from a GTX 970 with 4 GB of VRAM to a GTX 780 with 3 GB of RAM. Seems like they've been doing a bit of optimization.

    since they're not shying away from using Time Eater for promotional material, I really hope they will go back and tweak that final boss to not suck as well

    Looks like the Time Eater's other half is Black Doom's attempt at an ARK? Maybe a second go of the Black Comet? Can't tell if it's meant to be the final level or final boss but it's gotta be one of those things. Intriguing that it seemingly has Chaos 6-style tentacles coming out of it too.

    I can't believe they made the Time Eater actually look threatening

    This art is actually kinda making me wish Generations had a real story.

    As others have said, this makes the Time Eater look soooo cool.

    Here's hoping the Shadow Generations plot picks up the slack.

    This looks really really sick, I find it interesting how Sonic's shadow is just his own but shadow's is him with his full demon wings. The duality of having it be speed highway and radical highway is really well done, and black doom looks fuckin sick. Going for a biblically accurate angel look was the last thing I expected!

    Also classic got shafted from this game's marketing lol. poor little guy. I've even seen people celebrating that sega isnt paying attention to him with this game lmao, which is definitely something I would never have expected to see given it feels like for a while the popular opinion was "classic sonic best sonic", but now that's not the case

    Sonic's shadow is Classic Sonic. It's just hard to tell from how skewed it is.

    I always liked Time Eater's design even back when it first came out (though the boss fight itself kinda sucks), and I even quite like the theme music they used for it. Black Doom here just looks.... weird? Like, it only vaguely resembles the original design. Were it not for the eye (and the context of the game title) I'd not know it was supposed to be that.

    (Also obligatory "Generations' story was just fine, thanks")
