Sonic The Hedgehog, released in 2006 for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, marked the 15th anniversary of the beloved Sonic franchise. Unfortunately, the game - which fans had hoped would be a return to the glory days of old - wasn't very good.
In this exclusive video from Egg Says Whut, a posh man in a suit delivers a thorough and thought provoking analysis of the game's plot, covering such controversial themes as bestiality in the form of romantic relationships between human and hedgehog.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.
I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.
What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.
What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “
Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.
The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson
But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free
Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.
I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.
CEO Haruki Satomi said Sega will "take these lessons into account for future initiatives"
It was a chance for Sega to make an come back on the sonic series but the game fail(b4 colors).
-game should had a stronger plot
-romance/whatever that was, wasn't really need
-loading time was horrible
-finding items over buying them
-others but to lazy to type.
Colors is what SonicNG should of been/ or would at least been a good start.
That was a hilarious over-anaylsis of Sonic 06. Reminds me of my Lit 1 class.
He's a hedgehog.... Oh and he's really really fast.
What else do you need? It's a platformer lol.
