Kill me now.

[flyboy_fox]

No. Noooo no no..... Argh!

Okay, SEGA, stop killing everything Sonic ever was ;_; Seriously. Stop it. NOW!!

I am pissed and upset. Yeah, maybe I don't have much of a life, to care so much... but... IT BUGS ME >O

Sonic is going to be 5'10" in the Next Gen Sonic game. They gave him human proportions and made him taller than I am! That's... not right! Sonic is supposed to be small... He was cool because he didn't need to be human-sized in order to kick butt. Having him be human-sized is just TOO weird. I just can't fathom it, to be honest.

There's also going to be a new rival hedgehog... a cream colored hedgehog that looks a lot like Sonic :\ Great, all we need, ANOTHER Sonic look-a-like rival character!

Oh, and Sonic is "the Iblis Trigger", some kinda chosen one who can summon the Devil or something. Jei said the whole plot is sounding like something out of a Final Fantasy game. Whilst FF may be very cool, Sonic is NOT FF. Gyah! It's like they're just... changing EVERYTHING about Sonic and the fandom. Right now I really can't see much 'old-school' about that game at all... in fact, it barely even feels like a Sonic game, aside from in name :\ Screw you, SEGA ._.

Oh yeah, and the fourth playable character in the new Sonic Rivals game for PSP has been confirmed as... wait for it... ANOTHER NEW CHARACTER!! 'Cause we need more new characters, oh yes. >.>

::Sigh:: This is not good. The Sonic fandom is heading in a direction that just feels so different from what I'm used to. There's not much left to cling to... it's all changed, all different... all so much the same as every other fandom out there now. It's so divorced from what it once was.

Gonna go mope now :\

They're killing it!!! And it seems like there's nothing fans can do to stop it because there are always a handful of fans that don't give a poop about the history of Sonic and will always LOVE when the story gets more angsty. ARGGG!!!

._.;; ::Clings to Jei-ji:: Not good...

[naoe-riki.livejournal.com]

I see your point,.. but is really everything so bad?

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes it is. :P

[twitchytwitch.livejournal.com]

CHOBITS!

See if Jei can get you a subscription to the ARchie Sonic Comics, Sonic is still preserved in his coolness, instead of changing everything every time a new game is to be released.

Plus the Sonic Comics have more characters that are cool too =3 like Fiona Fox, and Doctor Fintevius, and Sally and Company are tehre, u'd like the archie sonic comics =3

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Nooo way... I'm not an Archie fan at all ^^; Sonic's such a player... ugh, it makes me sick :( He even went with Fiona, even though he knew Tails liked her... I'm just not fond of Archie. Too many side-characters, and it's like a giant soap opera ^^;;

[tallycola.livejournal.com]

But they did change everything every time a new game was released! And then it got all fucked up and unrecognizable. There was hope after endgame but it sputtered out.

Is Fiona still a robot?

Heh...

[toysthatbreak.livejournal.com]

Really, the idea of Sonic being linked somehow to ancient mystical stuff sounds a lot like what many of the fans have done in fanfic. And the Shadow game, what with Satan-in-Hot-Topic Black Doom and all, really set it up.

**SHADOW SPOILERS**

I mean, Doomy said he put the airships in sky troops there 2000 years prior. That's a very significant number in Christian cultures, and it implies that many of the legends about the devil, etc. are actually about Black Doom in the gameverse.

**/SHADOW SPOILERS**

The fans actually want Sonic to be a mystical chosen one. Not all of them, no, but clearly a large fraction of us.

As for the new proportions... I like this idea. And if he's human-proportioned, the others probably will be too. Which means that I can find them hot with a clear conscience. er... ^^*

I admit I don't like the idea of ANOTHER rival hedgehog--don't they have enough of those already--but I'm keeping an open mind about this new game. As long as it has angst... I'm happy.

Re: Heh...

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

But it's just so cliché! The thing I liked about Sonic was that he wasn't a mystical chosen one... I respected him because everything he did was his OWN CHOICE, y'know? It wasn't destiny. It was him doing what he chose to do with the gift he was given.

And them with human proportions just really creeps me out :\ I've never been a fan of fully-anthro furries. I liked the Sonic crew because they were somewhere in between.

And I don't like angst in Sonic games... :P At least not excessive angst. For me, the games are about having fun, not getting sucked down into a dark abyss of heaviness and gloom.

Re: Heh...

[tallycola.livejournal.com]

I thought Tails was the chosen one. Obviously it's been a few good years since I've read the comics.

[tallycola.livejournal.com]

*splutters* WTF? And here I was looking forward to that. :p That's sort of like when they made a new Ghostbuster cartoon except it was EXTREME Ghostbusters and there was a coooooool goth chick and all their adventures were TOTALLY X-TREME TO THE MAX. And every single person who saw it was like all, what the goddamn fuck is this?!

That's what this is like. Except I guess going TOTALLY EXTREME already happened to Sonic, not like he ever needed it. :p

If I had more time I would express my anger in a few long winded paragprahs. But I don't have that time....so....

....Damnit! Damnitall! AKSHDKSDJK QER!

5'10"? He's my height, and that's not freaking right! ::Bashes head:: I always wanted a Sonic RPG, but as a side thing. Keep the genre going as it should be!

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

;_; ::Clings:: I'm glad you feel the same as me, Lunar ^^;;

[rabbit-hugs.livejournal.com]

Maaaaaaaaaan...5'10? Why do they keep changing Sonic! You know, I haven't played a good Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2 for the DC. It makes me sad. ;_; Yeah, and I'm sick of the new character every game thing. Instead we could be developing other characters but noooooooooo. 9_9

I don't read Archie anymore either...they screwed up SatAM for me. It's all stupid plots now.

I miss SatAM.

We really need some old school Sonic. u_u

I've said this before, but the kids who only know Sonic from Sonic X...they scare me. XD Seems like most 10-14 year olds have no idea what SatAM is and they only know the Sonic X Sonic. Which isn't bad...but it's completely different from the Sonic that I grew up loving. Like...totally different personalities. Sonic is more of an ass nowadays. I don't like.

[lunarocean777.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeah....It's sad to think that...well, the old image of Sonic isn't simply being changed. It's being lost. This isn't the Sonic that was famous - this is the Sonic riding on the awesome Sonic's past successes =( Besides, how are they supposed to get anything as in depth as before when there's a new character every 3 months? Another hedgehogish thing as of late, whooooooope.

It's all about being cool now. I miss those days when shows used to like...teach morals. I hardly see it anymor. I miss 'ze old Sonic!

And hello, by the way ^^; Don't think I've ever said hi, heh.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

You are wise ;_; I'm glad there's people like you out there, otherwise I'd start to feel pretty stupid for clinging so much to the old-school/retro stuff ^^;

And yeah, Sonic is DEFINITELY more of an ass now... especially in Sonic X. In the recent games he's kinda... I dunno... nothingy. Generic. But in Sonic X they turned his attitude into a bit of an attitude problem :\ Bleh.

[shaboba330.livejournal.com]

Sonic is dying. Even more than it already was.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

It looks that way. All the cool fandoms seem to do this x.x

[leonskennedy827.livejournal.com]

I like the way the Sonic looks in the 360 Sonic game myself, he looks better taller IMO. Plus the graphics, physics and levels look amazing in this game. Plus for once I find the new character pretty interesting from the sound of 'em.

I do agree with the PSP Sonic Rivals issue, but I will still get the game none the less. Could still be a great game but that will still be a major flaw

The question(able).

[teamrodent.livejournal.com]

Will Tails be over or under 7'0? ^O9_9O^

McGee: Does he still have college eligibility?

Nitch: Which NBA team drafts him?

[ginuinice.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the new PSP game that's going to come out? Tails might not make it. It only stars 4 characters.


http://www.sonicworld.net/site/games/psp/rivals


And I do think it's time for Sonic to grow up with me. I'm in my twenties now. I want a twenty year old hero....Plus, you have to admit now that Tails is a teen in Sonic Riders, he is most definitely cuter. Because now you can look at him more ways than one. Holla! ;P

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

I have no problem with Sonic being older... but he's supposedly 15 years old in the previous games, and he's 3'4"... and now he's 5'10" ^^; That's more than just a growth-spurt. I just think he looks kinda weird being as tall as a human but still with that massive oversized head... kinda makes him look like a carnival mascot or something, and makes him seem less sleek and athletic.

And yeah, I saw the Rivals game... the four playable characters are Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, and... a new character :\ ANOTHER new character. Blah.

[leonskennedy827.livejournal.com]

I rekkon he was TOO short before personally, I'm glad he's taller. It's more like his SA2B model now, which I'm glad about.

Aww, cheer up. ;-; -patpat-
