    I finally finished a playthrough of Shin Sakura Taisen, and I'd deem it well recommendable, either now if you can deal with the Japanese or later whenever they finally get around to the English edition. What I definitely didn't see was a 1- or 2-star game that all those Amazon reviewers have been calling it, outraged over one reason or another. It was plenty entertaining enough.

    Amazon Japan product reviewers(for video games at least) are notorious for being assholes even by web site product review standards.

    End of Matt and Liam's Sonic Adventure 2 LP!

    Liam's reaction to finding out that Shadow actually died is so good.

    it's wild to remember how self-contained SA2 was originally meant to be, considering what came immediately after, and basically everything else since

    That reminds me

    Do we think the Sonic movie is going to tease Tails, Knuckles, or Shadow for a potential sequel?

    I feel like definitely one of those is happening. No more or less

    It's 100% going to end with that one trailer shot of Eggman in Mobius.

    I always figured Eggmans scheme involves turning people into animals and a live person is going to be named Miles and he gets turned into something but we dont see.

    Sequel tease. That's baseball.

    If they are planning a surprise Tails/Knuckles/whoever, then I hope the original design for the movie version of that character leaks. I want to see it.

    You know, I never would've thought to compare the two series visual styles, but that's a really good blending of the SA1 art style and the 90's Garfield cartoon's looser, more elastic take on the comic strip.

    If you're curious about my icon; it's an update of the early Lego Castle theme's "Black Falcons" faction.

    Overdosing on drug laced chilidogs has to be the most 90s death.

    That had nothing to do with the filmmakers AIUI. The company that did the CGI (an outside contractor, not a part of paramount) wanted to relocate offices for financial reasons and didn't care to try to move the employees, so once the latest project was done, they laid everyone off and began closing that location down. It was a dick move, but it was basically unconnected to the Sonic film.

    IIRC they gotta jump through some hoops every time Green Hill Zone gets reused / remixed. Sonic 3 has the most licensing trubs, but even 1 and 2 have some weird details to em.

    Oh brilliant

    Also, that’s unfortunately how this industry works. There have been so many stories of CG studios doing major layoffs or closing entirely after their work on a movie is done.
