  1. Am I the only one getting a security warning when I go to Sonic Fan Games HQ ?

      Weird, it almost seems like an intrusive ad but I guess it’s not accessible right now.

  2. Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comic)

    Chapmic replied to Katmuffin's topic in Comics

  3. So, concerning IDW's Back to the Future, latest issue was June 13th, and there doesn't seem to be any upcoming  issues after the next trade paperback in August as it is absent of their September solicitations, nor any mention of hiatus, cancellation or conclusion, there's just nothing. Has anyone any idea on what's going on ?

  4. Interesting, now they are teasing Sonic Mania Plus in the end credits of Sonic Mania Adventures, maybe we should keep an eye on that.

      Actually already revealing a bit in episode 2, as I noticed Encore Flying Battery has Wing Fortress color palette. So since the outside will most likely look exactly like Wing Fortress, do you think they'll also change the zone name and the music ?

  5. It begins, first issue is released on Comixology.

      Actually it began last week. There were some early issues given out at a con.

      Will it be posted here? (Not like I could see it)

  6. I'm really surprised no one has mentioned the comics are back on the website yet. Don't tell me I'm the only one who noticed, that's impossible.

      I think I've found the problem, when I look at the news page, I'm apparently not signed in, but when I switch back to the forums page I am. Also when I try to sign in from the news page, it doesn't work. Is this something I need to contact the Admins about?

    3. Chapmic

      Actually you can't access them from the forum, you either have to be on the news or gallery pages. Can you sign in from the gallery Katmuffin ?

      Nope

  7. Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comic)

    Chapmic replied to Katmuffin's topic in Comics

    Pre-orders are available on Comixology if you live like me in a country where it probably won't be released. And with that, Archie Sonic is gone now, it's too late to get them legally. Although if you bought them, you still have them in your library to read, but I'm not sure if you can still download them without the store page, glad I already did. Still should work on the app.

  8. I found a proof that Christian Whitehead's remasters of Sonic 1 and 2 were also supposed to be released on PC, or at least Christian wanted them to be. If you connect a PS4 controller, and you press "X" (probably "A" for XBOX ONE) on the main menu, a popup will appear and ask you to confirm if you want to quit the game. This clearly has no reason to exist in a game not supposed to be released on PC. You can always count on Sega to take the worst decisions.

      Well that’s a shame, I for one would’ve liked to have played those on PC.

  9. Alright, as I was afraid of, in terms of story, Sonic Forces' advertisement was just huge hype for nothing.

  10. It's official guys, Ian Flynn is confirmed to write the IDW Sonic comics. It'll launch on April 2018 for a special event with the first four issues being released in the span of four weeks.

      As a company that received our money, (and quite a lot from me when the "hiatus" started) I think they owe us at least an official statement coming directly from themselves, not others. We don't even need details, just an announcement. You may not agree with me, but in my opinion, this is a total lack of honesty. And it turns out that one of the antonyms of "honest" is "untrustworthy". Have you considered the possibility that there might be people who've read the comic that are still waiting to know if it'll continue or not ?

    3. Danny Felixe

      Danny Felixe

      What would be the point of an official statement? Anything they say is either 1: Already been said. 2: Not allowed to be said. Or 3: None of our business. And as for have I considered there may be people still waiting? Yes. And I highly doubt if they cared that much they wouldn't do a quick google search to find 'oh. It's cancelled'. If they haven't realised then they really don't care enough to be looking this up on the many places that have said it

      I just feel like people treat Ian Flynn or Archie as a whole as some kind of devil worshipping cult when it's not. Maybe I would if I had paid a subscription or something but I doubt I would be as mad as I keep seeing people being. It's a business. And there are certainly bigger businesses out there that have done much worse and are less honest than Archie that don't get this kind of hatred. And that's what really bothers me

      This will be my final point on the matter. This is supposed to be good news advertised and it's kind of turned into some petty argument from what was supposed to be a joke about SEGA not liking the reboot and so forcing another. I do take partial blame for that and so I'm going to stop replying here

      I have missed most of this discussion but as someone who bought the comics every month I can honestly say AI am mad at Sega and Archie but I do not hate them at all. All I wish to do is give the new comic a chance to earn my support as Ian Flynn did.

  11. First they don't let Christian make his Sonic 3&K remake, supposedly because of copyright issues with the music, which is clearly a poor excuse since they still sell the original unaltered on Steam, and now, they backstab the team with Denuvo. And apparently, Aaron Webber and his team weren't aware either, which might explain why it wasn't mentioned on the Steam store page. Even more incredible is that SEGA was literally implying it was their fault. Edit: Oh man, Christian tried to warn us. https://twitter.com/CFWhitehead/status/896047063024025602
  12. Well it's finally listed on the eShop. I wonder why it took so long considering some games are listed even before they get a released date.

  13. Making an Effort

    Chapmic replied to Dcfan200's topic in Comics

    They're still available on Comixology, along with Mega Man, but I don't know for how long. Maybe they still have to catch up with the news since the cancelled issues are still listed as coming soon. But for those who still want them, this is probably your last chance, and it won't be cheap. Good thing I still have backups from here since the Knuckles series is incomplete. Of course you can still get them for free on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(character) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick-Ass_(film) (again not saying it directly because of adult content, but you'll have to go there if you want the rest of Knuckles issues anyway), but you won't unfortunately get the quality of the digital releases. And if you get or already have them on Comixology, make sure you download them AND have a backup just in case.
  14. Did you notice ? Despite the game getting released in pretty much two weeks, Nintendo still hasn't listed it in the games that come soon on the eShop. Kinda feels a bit selfish in my opinion.

  15. It's over, isn't it?

    Chapmic replied to Frostryu's topic in Comics

    Are you sure you've read the whole news ? Sega will eventually give us news on a new Sonic comic. One that won't be in constant legal problems. And really guys, don't only see the bad things. Good stuff might come out of this. We could even get an official expanded universe. New stories expanding the universe all the way from Sonic 1, maybe even before. Wouldn't you be excited to finally have an official Sonic and Robotnik first meeting ? And, come on, I'm pretty sure that a group of dedicated fans will eventually make a fan continuation. Fleetway got one, SatAM got one, Pre-Super Genesis Wave continuity got one that will also have a conclusion to Underground as originally planned. Only AoStH didn't have one, but it never really had major plot anyway, and "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" can actually being considered as a conclusion to it. Unofficially, none of the big adaptations were really dead when you think about it. Although SatAM is going through a hell of a hard time since quite some time now. Edit: And there you go. I told you. I knew it would be fine. And they chose the company I had in mind to replace Archie.

  16. It's over, isn't it?

    Chapmic replied to Frostryu's topic in Comics

    Oh what the heck. I can't lie to myself. I'm signing.

  17. It's over, isn't it?

    Chapmic replied to Frostryu's topic in Comics

    I know, but it's just another online petition among countless others that will just fail and won't even reach SEGA. But if they still want to do things online, then people who want to save the comic should organize together instead of doing small actions by themselves that won't even be noticed.

  18. It's over, isn't it?

    Chapmic replied to Frostryu's topic in Comics

    Online petitions don't bring legal obligation. You could have every single living person signing it, yet it could just be ignored. That's the reason I never sign any. You're that much desperate to save the comic ? Then have the guts and start a proper petition with real signatures that can have a real legal impact.
  19. Don't give me false hope SEGA. As a Marvel and DC fan, it's easy to know what infinity means for me.

  20. Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Series)

    Chapmic replied to Shadow's topic in Comics

    Maybe not. It could still go to another company, or SEGA could even make it's own comic. Noticed how the Sonic Mania animated trailer looks exactly like the style used in the latest classic comic issues ? The Sonic Forces tone being similar to SatAM and early Archie ? And most of all, that infinity symbol at the end of the gameplay trailer. Could Archie losing the comics at the same time be more than a coincidence ? You should know that in fiction, most of the time, infinity is related to alternate realities. You know, maybe it's time to accept the end of an era full of problems, and welcome a fresh start. The two new games could even be part of a cross-media story.

  21. https://www.cnet.com/news/archie-comics-fights-parent-for-domain/

    I'm speechless. From this day, I don't have sympathy towards Archie anymore. Apparently, they've been suing anyone they found using the name Veronica publicly for years. Greedy douche bags, no wonder they never wanted to discuss copyrights with Penders, everything belongs to them.

      Ah, glad to see this. They actually dropped the claims after discovering David Sams' was really about his daughter. Considering what other Veronica they had to face as described in the article, you kinda understand why they freaked out. And apparently I was wrong, it was just a website trademark, not a name trademark.

  22. Regarding the Comics

    Chapmic replied to Shadow's topic in Sonic SCANF

    You know, if you want them free, there is still this. Not gonna give you a direct link, by respects for Archie, but you can easily figure it of yourself. And also because there are adults fan comics, and I'm not responsible for what you'll do there, so you've been warned. The only problem is that they take forever to upload new comics. I think they're always two issues late if not more.

  23. Regarding the Comics

    Chapmic replied to Shadow's topic in Sonic SCANF

    Good think I downloaded every issue then before getting to Comixology, especially for Fleetway. But now I should definitely make a backup, and I'm still not sure about buying the "Penders" issues until it's finally stated that those issues being sold don't break the "agreement" anymore. Apparently there is no Spanish Comixology, but maybe you can try the European website ? https://www.comixology.eu/search?search=sonic+the+hedgehog

  24. Games that you are currently playing

    Chapmic replied to Shadow's topic in Gaming

    I'm currently playing the Ace Attorney series. Done 3D Trilogy and Investigations. Almost finished Investigations 2's third episode. Since this is obviously the fan translation, I'm playing it on my phone so I can play it like on a DS.

  25. So, we know that Classic Sonic learned how to boost from his future self. I guess we can qualify it as a bootstrap paradox now. So, how do you think Sonic originally got the idea of that move ? Who really composed Beethoven's fifth ?

      Yeah, maybe, because the Doctor didn't know the idea of the fake ghost was from his future self until he came up with the idea himself. That's probably the difference. Predestination is when the time traveler acts directly on the past in plain sight, and bootstrap is when he acts in the shadows (no pun intended), and no one else knows. Well, maybe except the Beethovens.

    3. Skye Prower

      Skye Prower

      Er, noooo... Why would bootstrap have anything to with working in the shadows? It's when there's a time loop that has no beginning. It doesn't matter if it's behind the scenes or in plain sight.

    4. Chapmic

      Chapmic

      So is predestination paradox. But now I think I see what you mean, bootstrap is when the time traveler is assuming the role of someone who doesn't actually exist. While the loop has no origin, do you think it is possible to break it ?
