NowGamer's hands-on preview with Sonic Colours on Wii - "For years now, Sonic has existed as a square peg that simply refuses to fit in that round hole. The problem is that with every slapdash gimmick, misguided new character and under-whelming release, the hole rapidly gets smaller. And so it falls on another yearly Sonic release to prove us all wrong and give us the game that returns to the roots of the series. Sonic Colours may hold a gimmick; the colourful Wisps that bestow Sonic with special powers, but we’ll come out and say confidently that this is shaping up to be an adventure worthy of the Sonic name… for now"
The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.
They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.
My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.
Performative for optics, I would think.
It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)
Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.
Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?
It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.
Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr
Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending
The Wii release of 2010's Sonic Colors received a remake for modern consoles, but what about the Nintendo DS sister title?
Back in the day you would get cases every now and then where the handheld version of a game was better. Chrono Trigger DS comes to mind. Not only did it have the cut-scenes from the PS1 release it also had new content that tied into Chrono Cross.
This week on the Game Deflators Podcast John and Ryan discuss a Dragon Age producer's thoughts regarding the Microsoft Activision acquisition, the detrimental effect Elon Musk's Twitter takeover has had on Twitter Gaming and Nintendo online's current status with subscribers.
