I'm a consistent listener to Press Start, run by ex-forum goer Phthisis/UnforgivingEdges. Mostly gaming news, reviews and impressions, with a connection to gamesarefun.com. Good stuff.
Apparently Kojima's choice for Snake is Viggo Mortensen. Not bad.
I originally wanted David Hayter to play the role, but then realised that he isn't really a good actor. Reads every line exactly the same.
Donkey Kong and Jetpac were included due to their significance in each company's history.
Though indeed, Donkey Kong 64 is probably the better suited game for this thread.
Never bought a Sonic game in my life. Only ever finished Sonic 3, so I'm not comparing. The 3D games simply came off as poor mascot showrunners to me.
Probably in the minority, though.
While the above is amazingly accurate, it's probably the 'classic' Sonic appeal of Secret Rings bringing people in. No extra human characters, lack of corny story etc. Even if the experience turns out lacklustre, nostalgia would probably hold it up for the dedicated fans.
As for me, there's plenty other good games on the market I can play instead. Not waiting for Sonic Team to get their shit together.
