    I've covered some parts of this demo before in old vids, but here's one that goes over the whole thing! It's really more of a localization prototype in disguise than a showcase demo.
    Plus I'm uploading vids again, yay!

      Lmao jokes aside, this info about the E3 beta is super interesting! It's always fun to learn about the early development and builds of Adventure, and when I think I know a lot, it turns out there's more to learn haha.
      Think my favorite part about this demo was seeing that citizen dialogue where the kid acknowledged Sonic's previous adventures concerning Little Planet and Angel Island.

      Deion Lilly It’s actually funny how Station Square seems to know all about Sonic, his friends, Eggman, and their adventures, but the archaeologists in the Mystic Ruins apparently don’t even listen to the radio for all that they know. What a bunch of cavemen. … Y’ know, because they’re archaeologists and thus are likely to spend a lot of time in caves…

Okay, like I said, these lines aren't the masterpieces we remember them to be. But it's best not to look at them as lines, but more as... a homework assignment. Make a lines about four mutated turtles in their late teens who are named after Renaissance painters, led around by a giant rat, know ninjitsu, eat pizza, dress up like flashers, fight a guy who's named after a cheese grater... and make it plausible. And you know what? With the exception of the last lines, I'd probably give this project an A... minus, but still an A. I'm the Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to.

    • @CarbonRollerCaco

      @galten7361 4 роки тому +4

      @Carbon Roller Caco How wouldn't they know about it? Angel Island was introduced as a mythical island meaning it'd be known but be treated as mythical ala Camelot. Sonic 3 established that Angel Island broke off of a continent (and at least had contact with humans in the past going from Sandoplis' hieroglyphics) while Adventure's lore says that the Echidnas were warring on other countries 3000 years ago (meaning they'd be a known element on Sonic Earth).

    • @CarbonRollerCaco
      @CarbonRollerCaco 4 роки тому +5

      Galten The kid specifically references Sonic’s involvement with Angel Island. That’s why I brought up news choppers. It’s not hard to imagine Angel Island initially landing within sight of Station Square even though we never see the mainland in S3&K. Either the Chaos Emeralds disappearing from their original altar in a flash (which could’ve set up Sonic 1’s events as the flash knocked out Knuckles before he noticed the Death Egg or that Angel Island had fallen, so it could’ve occured before Sonic 1 despite being first mentioned in the JP Sonic 3 manual) or the Death Egg’s crash itself could’ve caused the island to land off-origin.

      They remade the lighting engine in a way that's perfectly capable of colored lighting and then didn't use any colored lighting when the original used it EVERYWHERE. The updated character models do not fit the rest of the models in the game. They removed most of the transparent textures and literally deforested Angel Island instead of fixing the transparency issues. It's a disaster port.

    Is this also where Sonic’s DX “Go!” came from? You didn’t show that.
    Also, that Little Planet reference makes Sonic CD sound recent, but Amy was said to be 8 then instead of 12, plus she calls her time with Sonic in the past “the old days” of “fighting bad guys” as if she’d used to be a sidekick to Sonic then. Man, even Sonic _background_ characters have a weird sense of time.

      Xane Myers Yep. It was unusually mild in the DC version compared to the higher, more forceful delivery in DX (and Shuffle). With the other changed clips, I prefer the DC versions, though Tails’s E3/DX flight grunt could easily work for his tail whipping (and is, indeed, used as such in Shuffle).

    • @galten7361
      @galten7361 4 роки тому

      Sonic isn't 18+ years old in Sonic Adventure. He's in his mid teens like in the Classic games. Meaning that the age changes are just retcons (in Amy's case, remaking her design so she looks more attractive) and don't reflect time passing. And none of that "old days" is in the JP dialogue.

    • @CarbonRollerCaco
      @CarbonRollerCaco 4 роки тому

      Galten I mean that _everyone_ would’ve had to have been 4 years younger in CD. It’s not out of the question-Sonic and Eggman had already been at each other several times before Sonic 1 according to that game’s JP manual, and CD’s JP manual makes no mention of Sonic’s age. Though I am now curious as to what JP Amy said at the beginning of her SA1 story.

    • @galten7361
      @galten7361 4 роки тому

      Sonic Jam's bios call Sonic (and Knuckles) a mid-teen. Sonic in the Genesis games being younger is just a retcon introduced in Generations (which also retconned his characterization).

I still think his voice acting in SA2 and Heroes easily surpasses both SA1 voices, though.
