Sonic Frontiers Sequel To Have Bigger Budget After Exceeding Sales Expectations



Quote
When asked if SEGA intends to commit to large-scale projects like Sonic Frontiers in the future, a spokesperson for the company said, "We expect development costs for new titles to grow even larger in the future."

"Since it is necessary to take on these challenges for major titles, we are proceeding with a bigger budget, even from the basic research stage. Therefore, we assume that development costs for future new titles will increase accordingly, " SEGA went on to confirm.

A rare English language version of the sit-in arcade game SEGA Sonic Cosmo Fighter has been dumped and released to the public.
The ROM dump was provided by Twitter user “IAMAMAZING100” (which is, actually, an amazing name), who has reportedly been in possession of a legitimate SEGA Sonic Cosmo Fighter arcade cabinet since June 2021.

And if Sonic 3 ogt Mario's cameo, they would suit more than the animated ones :


Yeah but Mario's live actors are all dead now.

RIP but I think it's still possible with today technology. Only for cameo though, not full appearance.

Sonic Forces will Remove the Global Champion role On March 1st



Quote
Hello everyone,
On March 1st, we will remove the Global Champion role. This role was awarded to top 25 players who reach Forces’ global leaderboard by the end of each season.

Since Forces Mobile now offers a much larger poll of viable characters, we believe the role has become redundant and doesn't hold as much value as before. For example, regardless of what character you used (characters who shine only after hours mastering them, or ones which don’t require as much) – any player can achieve this by using the same few characters which give consistent results. And since the role itself wasn't permanent, we don't want users to feel pressure over a simple role that gets removed after the season.

Prestige role will stay, as we feel it is a fair challenge to achieve for the larger playerbase.
We’d like to keep server roles as something that’d benefit the majority, not just a smaller part of players who invest a lot more time into the game.

Thank you!

Sonic Might Get A Girlfriend, Says Frontiers Director







Quote
"Sonic is single," confirms Kishimoto. "But what about lovers? What about Amy?"
He continues, seemingly unaware that his words could fuel the fire of shipping wars that have had a hold on the fanbase for years.
"I'm also looking forward to seeing what kind of love Sonic will have in the future."

Eh maybe. dunno how I would feel if they deepfake Bob Hoskins or Captain Lou Albano for a post-mortem cameo. Seems like beating a dead horse with some literal sense.

If it was SonAmy I'd be cool with that.
But if it's a brand new character with no history with Sonic, or worse a character specifically catered for woke-ideals then... well I won't quit my love on Sonic over it but not without the feeling of a coffin nail deep in my flesh over it.

I've nothing against LGBT+ characters or the like, but if such characters are there purely for "woke" or "political reasons" then that just makes them token characters for a more degrading reason.

If it is decided Sonic will have a girlfriend, Amy is more deserving of that.

Don't worry, as long as the game was made in Japan, it most likely be Amy.
Even if it wasn't Amy,it's still most likely a female characters.
Unlike Sony, SEGA and Atlus rarely listened to westerner SJWs.
They still got attacked though, this one is the recent :

Arguing with SJW is like Sisyphus and his rock.
But my beef id mostly how "political correctness" is taking into account woke-ideals and how it's ruining entertainment.

I really don't mind if a fictional character is gay, a woman in a masculine-job or role, or both! But ever since "woke-movement" I feel such characters are more shoehorned into entertainment. Which honestly isn't entirely a bad thing if those characters are still relevant to the story and can be interesting and beloved characters in their own right.
But if it leads to some political woke moral of the story then that just degrades such characters as no more than "token characters", characters just their for demographic reasons.

All in all, we Brits once had quality, funny comedy shows such as Little Britain or League of Gentlemen. While BBC still have such shows available for viewing, not without "Warnings" at the start of them because of how embarrassed they were of these shows for having men in women clothing for humour or not enough coloured people.

I'm just tired how comedy and entertainment is so neutered of late and don't want that happening to Sonic. If they really want to introduce a trans character, retcon Charmy Bee as one, it makes sense if you think about it.

I agree. It's reflected more in movies and TV series.
For example, The Academy Awards' standards are designed to encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience.
That's why they'll come up with a way to include LBGTQ characters in the movie and tone down the (used to be okay but somehow now it's not) jokes since it would be get them better chance to get awards.
It's okay if the tv series or movies' story were new ones, it became problem when the tv series or movies were based on established stories and they forced old character to become one instead of making a new character.
Video games award haven't gone into the direction yet but if it is I doubt SEGA really care much about awards.
Sony probably will, they're always obsessed with the awards.
