We all finna use SpongeGOAT PEAKpants when he drops. But find my 8 pages
I mean it sucks that he doesn’t have a voice but still
it is a low chance for them to have voices or characters interaction in a future update but I’m not getting my hopes up for it. Miku is one of the lucky ones to have voice lines.
I hope Tentri says the line
THEY ARE K-KILLING IT!
Both Tangle and Whisper from IDW are coming in. I know both characters will be muted since they won’t have voice actors because of their DLC purposes.
Which make them dumb choices. They’re friends with Sonic and co in the comics, yet the gang won’t even recognize them in Crossworlds, as if they were strangers.
I can agree. It’s really dumb for them to do since lizuka did mentioned in the interview that DLC characters won’t have any dialogues in the game. This has to be something related to licensing issues regarding using actual actors voices in games. Super Smash Bros series uses DLC characters voices from other franchises.
I hope they add the Comic book characters into the main line games, Pleeeeease!
Tbh if they added ulala instead of tangle and the other girl it would have been a nice callback to nights aiai and ulala being in sonic riders
The game should be seeing updates for at least its first full year, maybe Ulala is planned for a later date, we don’t know.
Shame that Tangle and Whisper don’t seem to be voiced. It makes sense that NiGHTs and AiAi aren’t (even though you could probably get away with recycling AiAi’s sounds from Banana Rumble), but the IDW characters at least should’ve gotten the voice treatment.
This game is flopping hard the amount in licensing costs is going to hurt this thing more. Sega should have just been acquiring over making this
I wish Aiai and Nights had archived dialogue from sonic all stars racing transformed but I’m glad they’re getting in.
