Sega And Paramount Confirm Sonic The Hedgehog 3 In Development

Looks like they will keep this series going. Paramount Pictures and SEGA CORPORATION today announced that they have commenced development on a third feature film installment to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

SDuck1231d ago

this belongs in Filmwatch

Plagasx1231d ago

It's a movie based on a popular video game franchise.. I think they could get away with this one tbh.

Garethvk1231d ago (Edited 1231d ago )

I flagged a movie one earlier and was told it was fine here due to game realtion. It was for Bioshock.

SullysCigar1230d ago

I can see why you'd think that, when VR headsets news sometimes gets the "that belongs in TechSpy" treatment and is failed, despite being about Quest or PSVR...

Garethvk1230d ago

I had always been told that movies regardless of content go on Filmwatch so I did that and then flagged the Bioshock news. I had three disagree and then the flag was lifted so I think it is under that rule that collectibles comes under where one post to announce it is fine but subsequent are not. So I decided to post since earlier in the day Bioshock was allowed.

MaximusPrime_1231d ago

This submission counts as initial announcement so it's good to post on here. Follow-up news, trailers and the like aren't allowed.

-Foxtrot1231d ago

Oh yeah the part of Newsboiler which is dead

Same goes for the others

The rules need changing, if it’s gaming related it should be put on here, means more things are posted and more traffic.

All it needs is a “Film / TV” tag

SDuck1231d ago

The other sites are dead because instead of posting this kind of news there, they post numbers and DVD sales that nobody cares about. Quality control is lacking even here in N4G but majorly there.
Either way, you pointed out a truth I can't deny

monkey6021230d ago

N4G is no longer the place to go for news. Its among the last places to see anything from within the industry now.

It makes me worry about the quality of Sonic 2. I feel like every time a movie company says they're working on a sequel even before the previous movie is released, the quality of said previous movie is terrible.

Garethvk1231d ago

Not to mention a tv series.

porkChop1231d ago

Once the movie has been shot and they're just polishing up the CG and editing, there's no reason they couldn't start writing the sequel. The writers don't handle filming, and the film crew don't handle editing.

cell9891231d ago

Could also mean they're confident in how well done part 2 is that they got the green light for part 3.

-Foxtrot1231d ago

I feel the first Sonic film got the benefit of the doubt because they changed Sonics design and it got them good PR with people wanting to support them

I just don’t get why they added human characters, it should have just been set fully on Mobius

Sitdown1231d ago

That's quite the stretch. Not only does it show confidence in the 2nd, but I think it would indicate a seamless storyline.

I saw Netflix picked up Bioshock as well. I was excited until I realized it would be a Netflix movie. Their original stuff is okay but their adaptations are on the suck side.

Sitdown1231d ago

I thought people loved Witcher?

HarryMasonHerpderp1231d ago

I hated the Witcher tv series. Henry Cavill is great as Geralt and some of the monster's and fights are really cool.
Everything else is just really cheap and cringe to me though, the dialogue is awful and the story is boring.
Nothing has come close to Game of Thrones yet (at least the earlier series) in my opinion.

hotnickles1231d ago (Edited 1231d ago )

The first season was great. The second wasn’t as good. I agree that Cavill is great as Geralt but even he couldn’t save it in my opinion. Bioshock would be better as a series instead of a movie.

Sitdown1231d ago

Oh okay, I haven't watched it...but only considered it because people were so positive about it.

hotnickles1231d ago

Witcher could be one of the exceptions. The movie adaptations are generally on suck side. The series stuff is hit or miss.

I still have yet to watch the first Sonic movie after Paramount and Transformers I am a little leery on Sonic.

cell9891231d ago

It's pretty good for what it is. Jim Carey carries it

porkChop1231d ago

I thought the first was pretty good. If you like classic Jim Carrey roles you'll love him as Dr. Robotnik.

Chocoburger1230d ago (Edited 1230d ago )

Its a bit over rated, and this is coming from a Sonic fan since 1991. Its a strange road-trip film, that doesn't make much sense. A popcorn flick in the truest sense of the word. But it is not an embarrassingly bad film, so keep your expectations in check, lower them, and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised, or at least, satisfied.
I honestly believe that the sequel will be better, or at least I hope so.

Where is the Altered Beast movie? I want a Space Harrier movie

Former PlayStation Boss Says $80 Games Are Amazingly Affordable

PlayStation boss believes that $80 games are affordable due to the value they provide. Using Mario Kart as an example, he noted that it offers numerous hours of gameplay with just one purchase.

value inside the product does not have any impact on how afforable they are

Eonjay1d ago

He never said anything about affordability at all. He only commented about the perceived value that a game can have to a player that gets many hours out of it.

Again, as with many other forms of we are disrespected and lied to.

Title says Yoshida said $80 games are amazingly affordable. This is a lie.

CrimsonWing691d ago

Perceived value is subjective, so how do you even argue for it? If one person says $500 was worth it because they played a game for six months, what does that mean to someone who didn’t share that experience or see that value?

This is exactly where corporate thinking falls apart. The value is defined by them, and then they twist the logic to defend it from a purely internal, out-of-touch perspective.

I’ve never based the price of a game on how long I’ve played it. There’s a standard price range that consumers feel is fair. If it were truly based on time or value, Resident Evil 2 Remake would cost $20, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth would be $1,000.

I think his point is that it is subjective.

Why is tech4gamers allowed to publish here. The lying is constant with them.

Honestly, expedition 33 is a prime example of quality for the low. Expedition 33 launched at 50$, and that game gave me more fun than most 60-70$ games I’ve purchased within the last decade.

8832h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Clearly, they want to increase prices. They need to convince people that it’s not so bad. As long as they can do that, they can do whatever they want. You gave an outstanding example of the direction things could go if creators were focused primarily on The community and quality. If that example or a few others like it didn’t exist, it might be hard to convey to many how it is even possible.

pwnmaster30001d 17h ago

I get the concept.
People buy movies for $20-$30 dollars that offers only a couple of hours of enjoyment.
While games offers 3-10+ times the amount of hours and content.
So in theory yeah I get it.

But I will never accept it and would rather keep the price now or even better PS360 price lol

isarai1d 16h ago

On the surface ye that makes sense, but when you realize the budgets are very comparable, you realize it's kinda stupid and overpriced especially when it common for it to be released unfinished

Extermin8or3_19h ago

Not really, movies that have similar budgets have the box office where if they arent a flop- they typically make all their money back or a profit. Movies have a much wider audience. Games however just have that release and have a smaller market.

PapaBop18h ago

Are many people buying movies for $20-$30? Outside of the more dedicated movie goers who have a physical collection, I imagine most rather scoff at that and stick to things like Netflix instead.

DivineHand12517h ago

You also have to take into consideration that most games are enjoyed by one or two people, while movies can be enjoyed by a group of people who are either friends or family.

Another thing is that the value of an entertainment product cannot be judged based on its length, but how it makes the user feel when it is all done.
An example of this is Ubisoft games. They can last close to or exceed 100 hours, yet many people hate on them for doing things to pad the length of the game, while Uncharted 4 and other Naughty Dog games average about 15 hours in length and are hailed as some of the best games of all time.

He never made the comment. Welcome to the internet.

..have u watched the video at all?

welcome to the internet indeed.

Petebloodyonion1d 1h ago

The value of an $80 all-you-can-eat buffet is undeniable, making it curious why some people choose a $20 restaurant for a single, standard meal.

In a similar vein, movies, despite their higher production costs for a two-hour experience, outperform video games in revenue while also being priced around $20. Suggesting that video games need 100 hours of diluted gameplay to compete seems like a misdirection. The real solution might lie in re-evaluating how their core offering is valued.

Extermin8or3_19h ago

Individual movies yes, the movie industry as a whole? No, the movie industry is dwarfed by the behemoth in terms of revenue that gaming is.

DoubleYourDose11h ago

The $80 buffet and the $20 meal both come out the same end.

FACTUAL evidence1d 1h ago

Lol so rich people want to speak for my wallet now? I still haven’t adapted to 70$ yet, and not planing on to. I don’t mind waiting on sales.
