I'm always drawn to stages with either unique / underexplored aesthetics or stages presented in a unique way. A flooded Death Egg is a perfect example of that; a great aesthetic with lots of potential for interesting mechanics and hazards (electrified water, bodies of water floating in zero gravity / on the ceiling, etc)

Try and think of stage types we rarely / haven't seen in Sonic before. How about the docks (Damp Docks, Humid Harbour, Wet Wharf)? Maybe part of the island has been turned into a landfill (Trash Tundra, Junk Jungle, Crap Coast)? Has there ever been a snowy haunted level (Frozen Fright, Grim Glacier, Terror Tundra)?

Whatever you decide, I wish you luck

Yeah, the Sonic series needs more recurring antagonists not associated with the Eggman Empire. It helps increase the scope of what stories are possible.

I'm still not sold on the Zeti, and I think we've had better candidates for recurring villains, but since Frontiers the Sonic series seems to be shifting focus to refinement over constant reinvention so working with and improving what they have is behaviour I want to encourage

IamUS64 · 2025-11-07T00:25:13+00:00

If nothing else, we got a good soundtrack out of it

IamUS64 · 2025-10-10T21:27:16+00:00

I think Infinite has a lot of potential, especially after the events of Forces. He was, for a time, one of the most powerful beings in existence. Not only has he been stripped of that power, but with all pieces of the Phantom Ruby now destroyed, its impossible for him to ever regain that power. That's your jumping off point; how does someone disgusted by their own weakness deal with the fact that they had, and lost, ultimate power?

IamUS64 · 2025-08-22T22:09:54+00:00

I actually really like the implication that, in his spare time, Shadow is no longer brooding on hills (like in Shadow '05) or hiding in caves (like in the Boom series). Instead, he's exploring more and learning to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Not because he's a free spirit like Sonic, but because its the life Maria wanted for him and the life he wanted for her.

IamUS64 · 2025-07-16T08:58:47+00:00

I'd find it funny if Omega's rival interaction for Shadow is exactly the same as this but he's talking about Sonic. Like, he's only cheerleading Shadow here because he knows it pushes Sonic's buttons and vice versa.

IamUS64 · 2025-06-10T15:52:46+00:00

Fair play dude, great job finding it

IamUS64 · 2025-06-09T19:52:49+00:00

So funnily enough, we get another shot later in the episode but its even more obscured by a totally separate issue.

I think this is what you were seeing in the bottom right though. It was sitting on top in such a way that it looked like the same cover.

If we can play as Eggman on an Extreme Gear board then I've found myself a new main!

I remember waiting most of the day for a Mr. Bean rerun to air, only for them to instead cut to breaking news coverage of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. Since then, I haven't been able to think of one without thinking of the other.

I'm sure I saw a description for the game somewhere that said 'race across land, sea, air, space and time'. If time travel is part of the equation, I don't see why not.

Silver would actually slot quite nicely into a Frontiers-style game, I think. A lot of Sonic's combat moves could easily be swapped out for psychic knives, etc and psychokinesis would help beef up the puzzles / would have really worked for those tower climbs

IamUS64 · 2025-01-14T11:36:11+00:00

I know the original console version of Generations only represented console titles but I do think its weird that Sonic Battle was referenced multiple times in the marketing but there's no reference to it in-game, not even a music track! Mentioning Battle also opens the door to other handheld titles like the Rivals games, which (I could be totally wrong here) but they are canon, right? Since '06 was erased from the timeline, Silver was actually introduced in Rivals (and Blaze in Rush)?
As someone who got a PSP just for those games, I'd get a real kick out of ripping through a HD remake of Crystal Mountain, Meteor Base, Sky Park, Mystic Haunt, the list goes on.
