Sonic Central 23/Jun/2023 Event - Roundup



A livestream has been announced for Sonic/SEGA related themes, which will be focused on the latest news, upcoming projects, partnerships and events that we can expect for 2023. Not much is known about what could possibly be showcased in this event, but Sonic Central 2023 is also celebrating the anniversary of Sonic The Hedgehog, so we could expect some extra info on what SEGA has in store for the blueblur throughout the year.

The event will begin on June 23rd, 8am PT / 11am ET.
And it begins!
  • Sonic Origins Plus releases today, and they showcase the new glimpse for it.

  • Sonic Frontiers is up next, and there's a birthday thematic Bash Update that will be featured into it, in celebration of Sonic's Anniversary. It will feature new challenges, new moves like the Spin Dash, new collectible Koco, a New Game+, and all of these for free in the new update.

With new bugs, no thank you!
Many people have been saying several of the current known bugs with Origins have been getting fixed with the latest 2.0 update, the drop dash for Sonic 1 and 2 is fixed, as well as some physics issues from Sonic 3. I'm sure other things might have been fixed as well.

While I agree on the plastic sets being lame, it would be nice if they released multiple high quality resin statues or figures of the Sonic characters.
Also saying "Nintendo's direct was better than this even!" IMHO is kinda silly, as they did some insanely hype reveals for content that hasn't had anything paid attention to it in around 15 years.
Anyway, it could be a lot worse, let's just hope the new game is awesome!

bunch of absolute garbage so far. sonic crocs you got to be fucking kidding me sega sinking to a new low :lol:
>crocs
>"holy fucking shit sonic the hedgehog is hot garbage sega is ruined"

A bit of an overreaction, not gonna lie.

Oh, as for my opinion: it was fine. I pretty much went in knowing that not much was going to be announced since Origins Plus literally released today and Superstars was already announced 2 weeks back. If they saved Superstars' announcement for this, it would've made this way better, but I think they made the right choice announcing it at SGF instead as a lot more eyes were on that than this.

Still odd that they didn't show much else though, other than the Birthday update for Frontiers. You'd think they would've shown a trailer for Update 3 (the one with the new story mode and playable characters), although I guess they're still hard at work on that for the time being.

Was worth it for the LEGO Eggman rap, at least.

"gonna hit a pencil, hit Sonic oh yes
hit a coffee cup, spill it on the desk"

I would have thought that if they're going to do a Direct, that they would have something of substance to present. I didn't think another core 3D game since Frontiers still has DLC coming, nor another core 2D game since they just announced that obviously. But I was thinking, maybe a remaster of a game like Unleashed, or a 2-in-1 Sonic Adventure Collection, or some sort of spinoff game, like another racing game. Instead, it really was, just a whole lot of nothing.
