    A quick look at early fangames in Dreams!

    I decided to take a quick look at some early Sonic fangames made in Dreams. If you don't know what Dreams is, it's by the creators of LittleBigPlanet, and is essentially a tool that allows you to create games, art, music, movies and has almost no limitations unlike LittleBigPlanet. Dreams allows users to create their own physics as well assets, all with easy-to-use creation tools. Basically if you can dream it, you can make it!  I can see this opening up opportunties to make fangames for people who don't have the knowhow of making their own engines or modding existing engines.

    The game hasn't fully launched yet and has been in early access less than a month so I was surprised so much content has been made with Sonic in it. I decided to capture a bit of footage from various projects. Not all of them are polished and some have a number of bugs but what they were able to accomplish in less than a month is quite impressive. Who knows what we'll have several years from now. Read on further for a look at all of the levels.

    Lad Bible Interview With Takashi Iizuka

    Lad Bible has done an interview with Sonic Team's Iizuka and it has just been published. We will highlight segments here but please go read the full interview. When talking upcoming Sonic games: Team Sonic Racing comes out for the expected platforms on 21 May, and might not be the only Sonic game we see in […]

    Four cancelled Sonic movies!

    In light of the new movie trailer and hubbub that has surrounded it, I thought it would be a good idea to look back at past movie projects. To many seasoned Sonic veterans, this won't be anything new. However, I suspect a good deal of new fans and/or less hardcore fans have never heard of […]

    Here’s Sonic X-Treme at E3 1996

    kukun kun has been uploading tons of rare old Japanese gaming TV shows and personal game recordings. This recently-uploaded episode of Famitsu's “Game Catalogue II” program covers E3 1996. The coverage of Sega's booth (starting around 9 minutes) shows some footage of the extremely ill-fated Sonic X-Treme. It looks pretty but there's not much to […]

    Sonic to See Redesign in Movie…Again?

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Movie trailer dropped on April 30th and was met with heavy backlash, particularly regarding Sonic's design. However, it would seem the criticism has not fallen on deaf ears, as film director, Jeff Fowler, responded with this: Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you […]

    Yuji Naka was asked to cast in the Sonic Movie

    Not only has Yuji Naka, former head of Sonic Team, voiced his concern (like almost everyone else) of Sonic's movie design (and feeling partially responsible for some reason – It's not your fault, Yuji!) but apparently he was also asked to be cast into the movie however it looks like something fell through. そう言えば映画にエキストラ出演させて欲しいとお願いしていたのですが、忘れられたようですね。かなり前なので私も忘れていました。ハリウッド映画に出演したかったんですけどね。 — Yuji Naka […]

    Voice of Grounder/Robotnik returns in Sonic Movie!

    Yesterday the Sonic movie trailer finally released to the public to mixed criticism. We already had some of the more obvious Easter eggs uncovered but people have been quick to point out more.  One of the military generals seen at the discussion table around 0:39 is the one and only Garry Chalk! You may not know who he is […]
