Support NeoGAF

[Dusk Golem]

Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.

I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1

Godlike TBQH

Best game intro since Persona 5.

Sonic's back.

 

[Doosi]

uh wasn't this already posted in the sonic mania leaks thread?

hot damn

Tyson Hesse's take on Classic Sonic was one of best things to happen ever (in the series).

 

[Doosi]

It was, but I think the opening deserves it's own topic separate from all the leak discussion.

ya i agree this opening is amazing

 

[ZeoVGM]

Can we please be careful with these leak threads? I don't wanna unfollow the GAF new threads Twitter to save myself from a Sonic game. Trying to be on a media blackout. (Not saying that this is a spoiler specifically, but for future reference.)

 

[Dyle]

I love how the elevator skips Sonic 4

Although Sonic CD deserves to be on it as well...

 

[Nabs]

I can't stop watching this. As I said in the other thread, I'd love a game that looked like this.

 

[Trace]

Now that right there is an opening.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Sonic CD's is better. But this is still good.

 

[RRockman]

It reminds me of the OVA's feel with its whimsical and colorful nature and that makes it an auto 10/10

 

[TheDinoman]

Who would of thought the same guy behind this would wound up making a full animated intro for an official Sonic game? lol

 

[chrono01]

I'm crying tears of joy right now. Amazing.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Who would of thought the same guy behind this would wound up making a full animated intro for an official Sonic game? lol

Oh my. The opening is certainly better than whatever that is supposed to be.

 

[Sandfox]

Sonic CD's is better. But this is still good.

To be fair, Sonic CD has an amazing opening and ending that would be very hard to top.

 

[TheDinoman]

Oh my. The opening is certainly better than whatever that is supposed to be.

hey man, hesse's old sonic comics were actually fucking amazing

 

[Poppyseed]

Looks...ok?

Obnoxious music.

What am I missing? I grew up with Sonic, FYI.

 

[Dartastic]

Ummmmmmmm that's fantastic. Is Sega actually going to make a good Sonic game again?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

hey man, hesse's old sonic comics were actually fucking amazing

I'm afraid this style of humor is completely incomprehensible to me. The constant "derp" faces are very ugly in an aggressively annoying fashion.

 

[Blobbers]

that's good. that's damn good

 

[TheDinoman]

Ummmmmmmm that's fantastic. Is Sega actually going to make a good Sonic game again?

No, Taxman/Stealth/Pagoda West/Headcannon are.

 

[batfax]

Hell yes. All that 90's pop art coming to life with Tyson Hesse's perfect Sonic CD intro-y Sonic at the forefront. Why isn't it the 15th yet? And why can't I pre-purchase on Switch?

 

[stargateheaven]

I found it on youtube.

it still freaks me out that sonic doesnt have blue eyelids SOMETIMES.

 

[Puruzi]

Looks...ok?

Obnoxious music.

What am I missing? I grew up with Sonic, FYI.

The spectacular animation and style evidently

 

[Doosi]

No, Taxman/Stealth/Pagoda West/Headcannon are.

stealth is headcannon

 

[McStickenstein]

Wahhh that's good! I'm feeling like a maniac!

 

[petethepanda]

Those little animations out of Sonic CD. My heart.

 

[Soltype]

Nice intro, that music is no good though.Wish they had got the some indie fm composers for this.

 

[Kyne]

who did the music?

sort of sounds like Anamanaguchi.

 

[RecRoulette]

Holy shit I wasn't expecting it to be this good looking, sort of wish the music went better with it though.

 

[DNAbro]

That is some fantastic animation.

 

[MrCunningham]

Sonic CD's is better. But this is still good.

Yeah, I agree

Spoiler

(I also prefer the Sonic Boom version)

. But this is still really well done, and I appreciate that they actually included traditional animated intro with the game. So I have to give a thumbs up to this. Great work, Sega and the team that made this.

 

[fernoca]

I love how the elevator skips Sonic 4

Although Sonic CD deserves to be on it as well...

Well, Mania is a prequel to 4 and CD, hence been 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, Mania.

 

[Doosi]

nice music

 

[Calm Mind]

 

[Neoxon]

......It's beautiful

 

[PaulloDEC]

who did the music?

sort of sounds like Anamanaguchi.

Possibly Hyper Potions (if they're still going by that name), given they provided the tracks for two of the previous trailers? It definitely sounds like their style.

 

[Alienous]

1. They should make 2D Sonic games in that visual style.

2. Why doesn't Sonic CD get a reference?

 

[Dyle]

Well, Mania is a prequel to 4 and CD, hence been 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, Mania.

But then shouldn't Mania be the 5th floor of 7? Can Sonic and friends take the elevator backwards? Or does this elevator only go to Mania like a sky lobby and then you have to take another elevator up to CD? The elevator infrastructure of Sonic games is wild!

Spoiler

Somehow I had no idea that the Sonic games actually had a timeline, TIL

 

[CookTrain]

The lift having 1,2,3,K,M on it is the perfect response to "Sonic 4"

 

[Puruzi]

1. They should make 2D Sonic games in that visual style.

2. Why doesn't Sonic CD get a reference?

It has a stage in the game, just wasn't on the elevator for some reason

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Everything about this game makes me smile.

 

[Fat4all]

pretty

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

It sits right next to Sonic CD's opening in my heart. It's real good, it shows each of the characters so well, and I love it so much.

I am very excited for Tuesday.

 

[Zonic]

& then Sega decided to JUST NOW post the intro on Twitter.

 

[Eirwat]

But will chris-chan like it?

 

[Slygmous]

It has a stage in the game, just wasn't on the elevator for some reason

Sega forcefully attaching Sonic 4 to CD has apparently retconned CD out of canon.
It was sacrificed for the greater good.

 

[devonodev]

I am so excited for this game.
