Sonic The Hedgehog - A Little Ball of Energy in an Extremely Handsome Package

[Berto]

Paramount is shuttering the studio behind Knuckles, Paramount Television Studios.

The studio is responsible for many of Paramount's streaming shows, including Reacher and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
This is part of an effort to cut $500m ahead of their Skydance merger.
Paramount's other TV studio, CBS Studios, will now be taking responsibilities for Paramount Television Studios's shows, including Knuckles. Seems likely any future Sonic shows will be handled by them.
CBS Studios makes shows like Star Trek.

While JK Rowlings might not be a transphobe, funny thing is ... in Indonesia most people would pick JK Rowlings' side not because there are so many transphobes here.
LGBTQ+ things are condemned by most people here, so it's kinda like "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing.
For me, people should say whatever they want to say freely, even if it feels uncomfotable for other people.

I'm not a fan of Harry Potter but I did read the books and always watched the movies in cinemas with my girlfriend (now she's my wife) back then because she is a fan.
All Harry Potter books that I read were belong to her.
Not a fan with "the chosen one" or "the protagonist is a descedant of famous heroes in the past" kind of story but I do like the supporting characters and settings of the story, especially Hogwarts.

I'm a Harry Potter fan, but not so much in recent years.

I used to be a fan of the PlayStation 1 games... up until Goblet of Fire where they decided to change the gameplay to hack 'n slash (but with spells instead of weapons) and I didn't like this direction of the games. Later Harry Potter games then leaned more into more realistic, cinematic-accurate style.

What I liked about Hogwarts Legacy is that because it's loosely based on the film series means it can have its own style. And the gameplay feels nostalgic to the early PlayStation games I liked.

Sonic Generations is being delisted next month, but won’t be entirely unavailable

Yeah but it doesn't address if those who already own Sonic Generations digitally will get a discount or the likes.

I was more of arcade game players at that time (and sometimes SEGA Saturn) so I missed a lot of Playstation 1 games, including that one.
I didn't even have interest to play Final Fantasy VII and VIII until there's a PC version of it.

Yeah but it doesn't address if those who already own Sonic Generations digitally will get a discount or the likes.

Of course we won't get discount.
Pretty sure of it since they also didn't care back then in Sonic Origins to those who already own Sonic CD.

Sonic Mania devs celebrate the game's 7th anniversary with concept art, cut music and more

Ready to feel old? Sonic Mania is celebrating its 7th anniversary!
It was 7 years ago that we were all left wondering if Nintendo fans would have the chance to play this new 2D Sonic title, and then thankfully SEGA confirmed the title was Switch-bound. 7 years later, we’re all still reeling over what is no doubt one of the Blue Blur’s greatest outings.
In honor of the 7th anniversary, multiple developers associated with Sonic Mania have taken to social media to share a look behind the curtain at the game. They’ve let loose with concept art, cut gameplay ideas, music left unused, and ...

I used to play Final Favtasy games. Pretty much peaked before the tenths.

Of course we won't get discount.
Pretty sure of it since they also didn't care back then in Sonic Origins to those who already own Sonic CD.

True, or the rest of the classic Sonic games.

It should be since it's a really big overhaul.
