How do you feel about Sonic comic writer Ian Flynn helping write the upcoming Sonic Frontiers game now? A step forward for the games?

The less power Sega's japanese team has over sonic the better at this point. They've proven to be incompetent beyond belief. No matter what you think about ian, he's leagues better than the literal monkies at typewriters they had before.

Pretty much this. What he did post Penders is kinda fun to read and his IDW stuff is still better than what the brain fed SEGA writers crap out, despite the limiting mandates.
I hope there's enough secondary characters for the story to have some character arcs, as any character development for the established characters is a big no no

I think he is a good writer but i feel Star or whatever the eggman fanboy is called is kind of dogshit, if i remember correctly sega had rules that stated comic characters cant be in games or something like that so the only thing im worried about is getting another bland story and him making shadow edgy and bitter again

Starline is unironically my favorite addition to the series in a long ass time. I’m not saying I want him in a game but I am saying I trust Ian can make some fun new characters with more flavor than fucking Orbot and Cubot again

I genuinely don't remember the last time a Sonic game had this little hype. Forces really mindbroke this fanbase

Two of IDW's OCs were added to the mobile game. They probably won't make mainline but a few apperences in spinoffs wouldn't be suprising.

>Sonic comic writer Ian Flynn
He's mid and only praised because he's better than the incredible low bar of previous Sonic writers.
>A step forward for the games?
I just want fun gameplay, I don't care about the telenovella-tier Sonic stories.

Frontiers has more hype than the past 4-5 Sonic games combined.

>How do tou feel about Sonic comic writer Ian Flynn helping erite the upcoming Sonic Frontiers game now?
His writing actually sucks and he’s also a massive fucking faggot.
>A step forward for the games?
Kinda? I guess. It’s better than Pontac and Graff, but that is a very low bar. I just hope they don’t keep this guy for every single game in the foreseeable future and maybe switch him for someone better later down the line.

Forces and especially Lost World were really badly written and I've been enjoying IDW so yeah it's a step forward. He's a competent writer and he actually gives a shit about Sonic so it's definitely the right direction

Sonic games don't need story

He Turned the Pendersverse into something better than anything Sonic has any right to be while also dealing with Sega Marketing shit and usual comic editor shit. He basically turned water into wine fucking took them long enough

Weird how since adventure people expect story from 3D sonic games but not from 2D ones

That's cool and all but the game will still be shit.

This
However i'm not against the SA1 approach where its team went out to see Guatemalan temples and used it as inspiration for the world. It's understated how the good Sonic games shine by not just being grasslands desert ice world lava, but lately they've either done that straight up with Lost World, or kind of did levels without any flair that at best can be considered worse versions of Final Egg or the space levels in SA2.
Take some better inspiration and be creative.

Hey man, I never said I was happy about it.

It really was just the perfect storm of shit
>Nostalgia-pandering classic sonic back for some reason
>Tails is a little bitch again after previously having character arcs involving going through puberty and learning to be his own man
>Boost
>Literally Coldsteel OC as a new villain
>OC creator complete with new dogshit playstyle
>Music sucks (They got the guy from Hoobastank to be in a song. Who in the world looks at sonic and says "Hmm, you know what this OST needs? The vocalist from HOOBASTANK")
>Zavok
>Story is garbage
>Characters trying to have full-blown conversations over radio in the middle of a level
>Level design is atrocious
>Green Hill again (HURR DURR MORE LIKE "SAND HILL")
>Chaos shows up and then doesn't do shit
I sincerely cannot think of a worse Sonic Game.

Come to think of it, was Shadow the Hedgehog the last time we got cool carnival/casino/halloween themed levels?

I'd still rather play Forces than 06 or Boom. It's only like an hour long (LOL) anyway

I'd rather play 06 than either of those other 2. 06 tried and failed, and that sincere effort is what makes it enjoyable win a "so bad it's good" kinda way. Forces didn't try at all, it's just bad.

No, a step back. He's a faggot sjw and can't hold a candle to the worst episode of satm or sonic x .
For the love of God get the japs back on writing

Oh yeah, I forgot
>Wisps AGAIN
>Voice acting still terrible
>Orbot and Cubot
>Quicktime events
>Nitpicking, but the menus and UI elements are fucking garbage and it does hamper the game significantly

Forces is dogshit, but atleast it doesnt drag on for too long. 06 is a pretty big game compared to forces and the glitches are only fun for a short time

06 is fun tho. Shadows story is kino too

>Sonic comic garbage with the terribly designed OCs is going to invade the games
For the love of god, get SA1 to 06 writers back.
I can't take this shit anymore.

>session 033

Don't care, I want the 16:9 S3 port.

IDW doesn't have the right feel for Sonic anymore, but I guess it can't be any worse than Forces.

Any way of knowing rigth now if the soundtrack will be like the early 3D sonic games or more of the soulless orchestra and dubstep from forces?

Just play Sonic 3 A.I.R

Holy shit I completely forgot about Boom. Yeah, I'd say they're probably tied
>06
Leagues above Forces and Boom. You can still have fun playing 06 in spite of everything.
>Fantastic music all around
>Best Shadow portrayal to date
>Creative stage designs (Kingdom Valley in particular is beautiful)
>Still has some degree of platforming in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3D platformer franchise
Is it great? No, obviously not. But there's something in there that can be polished to be worth a little something. I don't think the same can be said of Boom or Forces, which are gay and retarded at the root.

Yeah, figure out who's composing and directing the music. If it's Jun Senoue, it's probably good. IIRC, he also directed Black Knight's OST and that was fantastic, arguably the best OST in Sonic games IMO

It shows that Sega knows how to trim the fat when it comes to their property, that's for sure.
