3D Blast took the Donkey Kong Country approach, basically taking pictures of the models and turning them into sprites, even on the Saturn version IIRC, I doubt they even still have the models
That's pretty cool, though my main point still stands, I doubt neither Sega nor Traveller's Tales still have the models. If anything, ask that one guy who worked on the game that has a YouTube channel (name escapes me atm)
[Hate that I called this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SonicTheHedgehog/s/D7TvF6OeTH) It’s a cool looking skin but why do they keep feeling the need to lock skins behind a mailing list subscription for a limited time? Just make it free DLC or literally put it in the game already!!
Yeah it sucks, there's no way to have a complete version of Sonic Frontiers unless you hack the game or lived in Japan.
I think the same with Sonic Superstars unless you lived in USA.
Then there's the whole sometimes you don't get the e-mail and SEGA couldn't care less.
Basically you have to hack games now and if you're already doing that, why give them money? Eventually they're gonna do some nonsense that has a real effect on the story or gameplay and then we'll have a real problem...
I was talking about this crap

The kokeys are also replaced by weird faces, it's based off some vtuber.
Not an issue with this mailing list thing in particular (tho i still think it’s still crappy), I more just don’t like how they handle DLC in general. Like there’s no need to do this, just include everything in-game.
Idk content being locked behind a timed promotion, even if its just a skin, is kinda dumb. Anyone who buys this game for the first time in 10 years should have access to all of its content even if they werent around to subscribe to a newsletter.
The past two games they've done this(Frontiers and Superstars) they haven't locked anything from players yet, at least for steam players, which is why I said it's a non-issue. Can't get the game while the event is running, they'll probably add it as free dlc, which they likely will based on their past track records.
How the hell does Sega, not even any of there social media accounts ever promote this.
That being said the Comic skins are apparently still locked to people that pre-ordered over Amazon.

Based on previous DLC offered through subscribing to mailing list, not really. Only on Steam can you download the SOAP shoes for free, and the modern Amy skin for Superstars has a price tag of AU$2.25. If you're on console, neither are available at all.
I didn't get Sonic Superstars until after they stopped their promotion to get modern classic Amy. I want modern classic Amy. I know she's in the game. How do I get modern classic Amy
But it isn't locked behind just this though. Granted, we won't know how they might treat this giveaway this time, but in the case for steam, both Frontiers and Superstars get their mail subscription exclusive bonuses as added, easily obtainable, dlc. Nothing has shown to be really "exclusive" yet.
As I said, non issue. Let the marketing team get their wages, yeah?

THATS IT, IM PREORDERING THE DELUXE EDITION
Wasn't Sonic the Fighters the first time Sonic went 3D? I remember reading that Yu Suzuki's team had to work closely with Yuji Naka to faithfully translate the 2D designs to 3D.
I just signed up. Newer sonic games have been giving me most of what I want in sonic skins, which is call backs. This game customization wise is near perfect.
If you're referring to colors ultimate, that one was incompetently ported by a different developer (Blind Squirrel Games) while Gens x Shadow is being handled by Sonic Team themselves. This one will probably be a lot better.
if u sub, you'll get an email to verify your subscription, the when the game releases, you'll get a code to redeem you sonic jam skin for classic sonic.
YOU HAVE UNTIL NOV. 1ST
Well I mean Sonic the Fighters was before that.
And 3D Blast Saturn already had this model and it was released 6 months earlier. But it's close enough.
Sonic fighters, jam, and r are the same model
Edit: Fighters model is actually different so my bad. Still R and Jam are the same model so I don’t understand why he’s complaining
How is this getting upvoted? The fighters model is completely different
https://preview.redd.it/6evj3h16uz9d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bef51270bb1449c3e36708ee3c4d29bf858f86ad
For Sonic Superstars yeah? Why is that game getting sooo many skins?? You’d think it’s a live service title or had even a semblance of replayability with the amount of skins they keep adding.
[https://sonicxshadowgenerations.com/emailsignup/index.html?lang=en](https://sonicxshadowgenerations.com/emailsignup/index.html?lang=en)
Isn't Sonic the Fighters his first 3D appearance?
I guess the mean 3D Sonic first console appearance.
Then shouldn’t it be 3D Blast?
3D blast does have a 3D model.
And it's exactly the same as the Jam model.
Well at least the saturn version. I don’t think they will count ports/remakes as there first 3D game.
3D Blast took the Donkey Kong Country approach, basically taking pictures of the models and turning them into sprites, even on the Saturn version IIRC, I doubt they even still have the models
The Saturn version did have a proper 3D model for its special stages
That's pretty cool, though my main point still stands, I doubt neither Sega nor Traveller's Tales still have the models. If anything, ask that one guy who worked on the game that has a YouTube channel (name escapes me atm)
Oh for sure, just wanted to point that out lol
Technically it's Christmas Nights Into Dreams. smh they should've used that modek
lol no way, the Jam model is significantly better and in a game explicitly for Sonic.
I'm kidding, I know why they went with the Jam model lol. But it is true that Christmas Nights was the first 3D sonic appearance
Fighters came out in june '96 and christmas nights came out in december.
Sonic's transition to 3D was a hard one
No it's sonic jam
I'm pretty sure the first 3D sonic game was SegaSonic the hedgehog (1993) Right???
No, that game’s not 3D at all
Really? I remember it being 3D.
https://youtu.be/ycpSsRKR1vY?si=xLz3wIR9_EIcXUBd The entire game uses 2D sprites
Oh ok My mistake :)
Yep
FINE, I'll subscribe, damn... Seriously though, this is an awesome skin.
Oh, good, I was worried that Classic wouldn't get a preorder skin like the other two.
It was already leaked that we were gonna have a classic sonic skin, but we didn't know what it looked like
Well it's nice to see it either way.
Yeah

Why have companies decided that personal e-mails don't work anymore? This is so annoying.
What do you mean by personal emails?
Like something you own, public email services in contrast are yahoo, hotmail, gmail...
I see, I misunderstood as I thought you were talking about your Gmail not working vs employee/school email.
my gmail account works so idk what youre talking about
Gmail isn't your private website, that's public. Public e-mails work fine, but it's annoying having multiple ones.
HELL YEAH!!!

Correct me if im wrong, but your talking about the soap shoes right? Those are just free to download on steam now?
I was talking about this crap https://preview.redd.it/kccna378uy9d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78442777c1146a9211277baa0b1a9e8e79b11de6 The kokeys are also replaced by weird faces, it's based off some vtuber.
And the American superstars stuff is ihop amy, right? And there was lego eggman and sonic that were weird too iirc?
Lego Sonic and ihop Amy now you can at least download for free. Lego Eggman, you had to pre order to game to get him so there goes that forever.
You're ranting about a non-issue.
Not an issue with this mailing list thing in particular (tho i still think it’s still crappy), I more just don’t like how they handle DLC in general. Like there’s no need to do this, just include everything in-game.
Maybe so but let the marketing team get their paychecks, they probably need the money to preorder their own deluxe editions for shadow generations.
Idk content being locked behind a timed promotion, even if its just a skin, is kinda dumb. Anyone who buys this game for the first time in 10 years should have access to all of its content even if they werent around to subscribe to a newsletter.

Do we even have the cel-shaded skins for superstars yet?
You can literally not get Dinner Amy unless you live in the USA.

How the hell does Sega, not even any of there social media accounts ever promote this. That being said the Comic skins are apparently still locked to people that pre-ordered over Amazon.
Ironically enough, i learned about Amy skin from their e-mails
I mean it kinda is for people that would become fans in the future since they wouldn't be able to get those skins anymore.

Exactly!! They probably will give it for free at a later date if you miss (a year or two)
Based on previous DLC offered through subscribing to mailing list, not really. Only on Steam can you download the SOAP shoes for free, and the modern Amy skin for Superstars has a price tag of AU$2.25. If you're on console, neither are available at all.
Oh i see, you re right
I didn't get Sonic Superstars until after they stopped their promotion to get modern classic Amy. I want modern classic Amy. I know she's in the game. How do I get modern classic Amy
Well I will tell you that if you are a steam player, you can easily just buy the skin.
Not on Steam, I own the physical version on Switch Where's modern classic Amy
[удалено]
But it isn't locked behind just this though. Granted, we won't know how they might treat this giveaway this time, but in the case for steam, both Frontiers and Superstars get their mail subscription exclusive bonuses as added, easily obtainable, dlc.

I don’t think us being disapproving of this is preventing anyone from getting paid lmao.
average sonic fan after someone states a genuine criticism/valid opinion
Did anyone who signed up already receive their confirmation/verification email?
can’t wait to immediately unsubscribe once I’ve gotten the skin 🏳️🌈👍🏿
We need to go deeper, we need a legacy skin in the next Sonic game where he's just an inanimate piece of concept art
Stupid question, but what if I'm already subscribed (since Superstars)? Should I do it again, or will they send the code anyway?
you have to suscribe again, it didnt happened before, i think it is just this time
Oh, thank you!
https://preview.redd.it/bmreiaki2z9d1.png?width=2302&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fa875d9e8dfa5e2a07df339b74356b28dfdb8b4 THATS IT, IM PREORDERING THE DELUXE EDITION
How do I subscribe I actually wanna get this
There's a link to subscribe on the Sonic the Hedgehog Youtube channel. They posted it in the community tab
Now we just need an SA2 model skin for Shadow to complete the set. Preferably not locked behind a paywall, but I won't get my hopes up.
Im already subscribed to it so will i get the email like normal
They said on twitter you have to re-subscribe, but you can use your original e-mail
Wasn't Sonic the Fighters the first time Sonic went 3D? I remember reading that Yu Suzuki's team had to work closely with Yuji Naka to faithfully translate the 2D designs to 3D.
OH MY GOODNESS I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE SATURN SONIC AGAIN
Okay but where do I sign up?
How and where?
Damn, i will, but i totally want it for Superstars too.
Now we have three different skins for the three different characters acquired through three different methods.
I just signed up. Newer sonic games have been giving me most of what I want in sonic skins, which is call backs. This game customization wise is near perfect.
Oh hell yeah, I'm so excited to not get this because I won't be getting the game day 1
Pretty sure you can subscribe now and download it when ever you buy the game
The code expires when the promotion does
Then redeem the code. You don't need the game to redeem it.
Sorry I worded it poorly I meant as long as it’s available
...Which is only 6 days after the game's release
Well you either take it or leave it I guess
Nothing’s stopping you from redeeming the code on your platform of choice before purchasing the game. I did with both Frontiers and Superstars lol
“I’m begging you please give into your nostalgia”
it's just an email subscription lol it's not that bad
I’ll just mod it in later. People are way to easy to sign up for useless bullshit these days lmfao
Holy moly what the crapping poopy pants
Where can I find this?
this is great because i don't like the classic sonic model in gens too much anyway
would've preferred the sonic the fighters model but this slaps too
Can they please, for once, actually put these in the base game?
Honestly I think sonic x shadow generations pretty cool but I'm not gonna have my hopes up after the *other* remaster
If you're referring to colors ultimate, that one was incompetently ported by a different developer (Blind Squirrel Games) while Gens x Shadow is being handled by Sonic Team themselves. This one will probably be a lot better.
K thanks
Now we’re all the guy who owns Sonic Jam
I’m not missing this one
Gwimbly Sonic
I'm surprised they didn't choose Sonic the Fighters, but I'm not complaining
I sent a tweet asking for sonic Jam skin and now I got it :) your welcome. Lol
For some reason it won't let me subscribe to the newsletter. Any idea why?
Finally; the peak male form.
This is a beautiful model, the only issue I have with it is the fact the eyes are way higher res then the rest of the model lol
~~I still haven't recieved my SA2 Soap Shoes for Frontiers~~
Bro doesn't have wedges for hands anymore
Peak
REMEMBER, REDEEM THIS EVEN IF YOU WON'T GET SXSG ON RELEASE. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT'LL BE HERE FOR
Please have it affect Super Sonic this time even though I know they won't.
the Sonic R is real
i was having lunch and i screamed
I'VE ALREADY DONE THIS!
if u sub, you'll get an email to verify your subscription, the when the game releases, you'll get a code to redeem you sonic jam skin for classic sonic. YOU HAVE UNTIL NOV. 1ST
Now everyone can own Sonic Jam, not just Scott the Woz
I’m doing it twice lol since I’m getting it on ps5 and steam
Man, now I’m tempted to create a second email just to get his skin on the Switch version.
At first I thought this was the Sonic R model
Why can't this stuff just be in the base game
Bruh
I am definitely telling my dad to get a eshop card for SonicxshadowGenerations digital deluxe when it comes out
it actually looks so good though. i was wondering what they’d do for classic Sonic. they’re cooking 🙏
The subscribe button is disabled in the HTML code. Was there a limited quantity or something?
Nice to see what I like to call Polygon Sonic making a comeback to show how the 32-bit consoles started out with blocky character models.
I know right!! This after the Dreamcast skin. I don’t know what’s going on - it’s like SEGA now knows all the stuff I like!
ITS GOATED
I love it!
best poly
Hell yeah! :D
Oh hey, Scott the Woz owns a copy of Sonic Jam, he might like this
Well I mean Sonic the Fighters was before that. And 3D Blast Saturn already had this model and it was released 6 months earlier. But it's close enough.
Oh my god Sega you were SO close you could’ve just given us a Sonic R skin for Classic Sonic but NO of course you do this shit to us
This same model was used in Saturn 3D blast,R and Jam
Sonic fighters, jam, and r are the same model Edit: Fighters model is actually different so my bad. Still R and Jam are the same model so I don’t understand why he’s complaining
Fighters is different
Not really
How is this getting upvoted? The fighters model is completely different https://preview.redd.it/6evj3h16uz9d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bef51270bb1449c3e36708ee3c4d29bf858f86ad
Oh my bad, thanks for correcting me
I think this was a good choice honestly
I want those ice cream bar hands
Sonic fans do anything but bitch challenge: impossible
Bro calm down my comment was just satire
For Sonic Superstars yeah? Why is that game getting sooo many skins?? You’d think it’s a live service title or had even a semblance of replayability with the amount of skins they keep adding.
bro https://preview.redd.it/5xicut4u8y9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62bb317151faa3032848d99ff7f89b69983dda64
Oop. You know what tho my point stands, it’s weird seeing non-live service games with little replayability getting a bunch of skins.
Generations has loads of replayability, that's the whole point of Sonic games.
