The Release Of Somic Movie 3.

The release of Somic Movie 3.

When the first trailer for the first Sonic Movie (with the old horrible design) came out, me and two friends made a vow to watch every Sonic Movie together in Cinema. Back then we expected it to only last for one single, maybe two movies. One of my friends didn‘t even knew much about Sonic, we just dragged them into the theater. For the third movie, we‘ve already grown to a group of four and all of us finished university.

Sonic Movie 3 is going to be the continuation of our Sonic Movie Saga as well as our reunion after university. I really can’t wait. The Sonic Movies have become some of my favourite experiences with my friends.

We‘re all comsidering going in cosplay for the third movie.

Okay, let’s play a game (because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these):

Tell me one thing that you’re really looking forward to this year in the Sonic fandom, or with life in general.

Hi, I love your beautiful art.

Having seen so much of your LMK art has made me curious and I started watching Lego Monkie Kid and holy s**t why haven‘t I watched this sooner?

Thank you for bringing this show to my attention.

I love the monkie kid pipeline for new people, glad you found it! I wish you many happiness and recovery for what this show eventually does to you

☀️ i am so sad, i heared that they wont include anything from fes or portable, so no femc, no answer or the like. I hate it here, why this disrespect to my girl Minako i will fight somebody at atlus HQ

oh. well i will say it straight (the only thing straight about me i fear lol) but thats likely not entirely true, ☀️ anon. idk if youve seen this post but it sums it up pretty well https://www.tumblr.com/petorahs/719925542729695232

『ペルソナ3 リロード』日本メディア最速インタビュー。オリジナル版のフルリメイクだが『フェス』で追加された本編内の要素が『リロード』にいっさい入っていないというわけではない【週刊ファミ通先行掲載】 | ゲーム・エンタメ最新情報のファミ通.com

『ペルソナ3 リロード』開発者への日本メディア最速インタビューを、週刊ファミ通2023年6月29日号（6月15日発売）に先行して特別掲載。

bad ign reporting aside, i was also pretty upset at first since no femc and the answer! but then i saw a good point someone made about the femc case:

persona 3 reload has reportedly been in development for four years. and in that four years thats standard time to build a game from the ground up, maybe even too little – anyone who's been in game dev can tell us that. p3re doesnt reuse assets, too, it's completely from scratch. so having femc isnt simply a matter of model swap. they'd also have to program the UIs and make everything pink - sure, that could be "easy", but there's also the changed social links and team dynamics (more writing to be done), weapon system and all that (more coding)? so its like... i'd be actually surprised if they managed a femc during those 4 years. its quite a lot of work to re-adapt base p3 as is i feel and modernizing it. also i feel like atlus themselves wouldnt want to do their character and her fanbase wrong so of course they wouldnt fkn slap on a few pink menus and call it a day. they surely want to rewrite the s links and everything too in accordance to her. art takes time.

(with all that being said bullying atlus for femc is warranted actually maybe then her inevitable dlc might come faster lmao )

similarly, im fine with no "the answer" now despite being its #1 defender. theyd have to completely rework the 30:2 hour grinding to story ratio which is just not sustainable on a modern gameplay perspective. that also takes time.

its why i made this post actually. i somehow trust them, and i feel like most of us can stand to chill a little and have healthier expectations. as in not overbloated and not have the bar set in hell either (altho we should also do that too)

and i know, like anyone who's played this game, it means so much to so many people. and thats why its maybe impossible to please everyone, because its so many different things: a game that saved their life, a funny goofy lighthearted one where you catch demons, the most depressing persona game ever (altho i feel like p2 would beg to differ on that one-), or for me personally, a game that just made me cry man.

and because it means so much, everyone wants to see it be the best it can be!! and that means having hamuchan. i get that all of this riot energy is out of love for the game, really. but. yeah.

a remake seems like it's "less work to do" since the foundation's "already there" and i dont know how many people worked on p3re but like. i highly doubt theyre just sitting on their asses pissing off fans on purpose lol. (or maybe they are and im just too optimistic damn 😭)

correction: israel has killed 15 palestinians in rafah in the evening of february 12. they’ve killed many more in rafah since february started. the death toll is around 400, with 76 killed today, monday feb 13. the iof destroyed khan yunis, the place where gazan refugees from the north were fleeing, and now the iof is attacking and murdering civilians in the last southern city.

do not look away from what the israeli colonizers have done to khan yunis and what they will do to rafah as long as world leaders across the globe twiddle their thumb and america continues to sink billions into this genocide.

just two days ago, the iof snipers killed a doctor in the middle of a surgery in a khan yunis hospital. there is a horrifying video of an old man, shot and crawling into the reception of said hospital, and no one is able to drag him away from the windows where snipers keep shooting at them. this is what our tax money is funding. this is what our leaders are encouraging. the entire world should be dying of shame and disgust, most especially the west, giddily supporting and paying for the nth genocide of brown indigenous people, and the greedy, soulless monsters of the uae and saudi arabia.

It is a mixture of 2D and 3D. Main Characters are in 3D as some parts of the environment, especially in shots with wild camera movement. But there are also a lot of 2D element. BGs of static Shots, certain close up animation, secondary characters (I am pretty certain that Gerald is 2D) and Effekts animation (The fire, smoke and electrical effects are mostly 2D).

It uses the strength of both 2D (abstract shapes and movement) and 3D (camera movement, 3D models)

The biggest issue for a long time has been the blending of 2D and 3D, but more and more studios are getting really good at it. There will be moments, where it will be more obvious, the lighting and compositing will be a big factor on how well they can blend together,

So far it looks like they‘re doing a really good job, haven‘t seen many hickups. Will wait for the final release. In the end, if I can get lost in the story with great visuals, without noticing any of the techniques in a distracting way, I‘ll be happy. Animation should help convey the story in the best possible way.

As someone starting out in the animation industry I always like analyzing animated content. Love how nearly every Sonic short uses different styles and techniques.

( I‘ll also be on the annoying camp of wanting another official Sonic anime, but mainly because SonicX has mainly decent animation. Not many great action shots compared to some of the current high budget action anime, but I admit I am an action junky. I love my high octaine, animated action scenes.)

So is dark beginnings 2d or 3d ?

It is

animation =o
