The team at Sanzaru Games, were working on VR games for Meta and joined Armature Studio and Twisted Pixel, who were also unfortunately shuttered. The big tech company said the following:

“We said last month that we were shifting some of our investment from Metaverse toward Wearables. This is part of that effort, and we plan to reinvest the savings to support the growth of wearables this year.”

      1. Thank you! Yes it is weird! Also more reason why she and Sonic who is way above 12 should not be a couple! A fan girl fine but not serious. I hate the people mostly political who try and push that relationship and feel Amy should be retooled they hate Ken Penders too but weirdly seem to agree with him on this and his politics. Ian Flynn pushes it too big reason why he should not be in charge of Sonic lore most his stuff is sexual things with characters since his Archie days and his weird fan comics, funny Penders was the same just not a SonAmy shipper.

        1. He had a fan comic of Sally Acorn being shot, Shadow did grape things, he made Nicole the AI and Sally a lesbian couple confirmed it in now deleted tweets, as well as other weird things. Ken is weird too there was no place in Sonic for his weird things like Sally losing her V card to Geoffrey why is that in a Sonic comic? Then Ken had to elaborate on it with ages like why? Or Knuckles being in a relationship with his cousin then having a kid with her. Sonic writers even if not fans here in the west are just weird and should be on a watch list.

            1. Sonic and Elise were better or him and Madonna. Funny same crowd attacking that defend Brian from Family Guy or shipped Donatello and April in 2012 TMNT, Roger and Jessica Rabbit, or Howard The Duck.

              1. Sonic game like Mario Odyssey would be interesting open world Flash like mechanics where you can run ip buildings and Madonna back. Or a RGG Sonic game with Elise back.

        2. The IDW stuff is awful too at least Archie had narrative and interesting stories IDW is trash just bad. Surge, Kitt, Tangke and Whisper the lesbians it’s just bad. Ian had editors at Archie tell him what to do when that went away PGW he got worse and then IDW he got full control not just comics the brand too. Sega lost a ton the Yakuza guys and Atlus guys because of the westerners like Aaron and Ian.

        1. @sonicgalaxy27

          Exactly! The people complaining about this stuff are just the easily triggered PC crowd. Imagine raging about someone liking a fictional character, you don’t hear much about the bunches (and growing) of females using AI BF apps. It’s hilarious really, apparently only guys are to blame in their pathetic arguments.

          1. Not just guys but girls too. Like I said, there is nothing wrong on falling in love with your own creations base on your dream or imagination. Its not weird or silly. Its just normal honestly. If the character that considers them their favorite that they liked or inspirated by it then its no problem or big deal honestly. For example, Ice king from Adventure Time wanted to bring Fionna and Cake to life which is his goal and dream, but now it has became a reality and his vow has been fulfilled which he kept his word.

      2. 1.Boom Amy is probably the most “adult” (and karen) despiction of Amy in this spinoff, making your notion wrong.
        2. If you believe she’s 12, she’s 12. However, some others don’t, and some literal FREAKS rather her being underage as well.

        SEGA, along with current writers like Ian Flynn, wants people to go with their own judgement (alternatively: your headcanon) when pairing or fantasizing their characters, hence WHY they removed ages from the Sonic Channel.
        (That’s also neverminding the fact they’re a Japanese company and rather people be weirdos as their creators and hired artists are)

        Anyways, she’s 18.

    1. You ain’t gonna get much in the way of sexiness anymore, those days are over. Look what they did to Lola Bunny in the Space Jam sequel.. A slightly less sexy looking Rouge is the best we’re gonna get.

      It’s woke or broke these days.

      Actually it’s surprising that they haven’t axed Rouge completely like they did with Minerva and the nurse in Animaniacs.

        1. Woke has often killed off certain things because they water it down so much. If they were going to dumb down Rouge then they shouldn’t have given her a large chest with cleavage showing and revealing outfits to begin with.

          Political Correctness sucks. At least she got a sexy voice that suits her in the new racing game tho..

      1. Kind of have they do not want her in the movies supposedly. Ian Flynn and Aaron Webber ruined Sonic more wish Shiro Maekawa was back as head writer or even new people who get the shonen tone Sonic had.

    1. That sucks, I mean I know it wasn’t ever going to happen, but their Sly Cooper game was so great. Another entry would e been great.

      Sucks that they sold out to Meta.

      1. Numerous studios need to make money somehow and selling is the only option. Now they can’t even sell not enough people to buy them. China is not as interested, Microsoft may only want big publishers, and I think the Saudi’s will go after more Japanese publishers in the future they’ve said they’ll expand there. Meta also owned Ready At Dawn who made the Jak game also closed now, they bought Armature a studio founded by the original founder of Retro and director of the old Metroid Prime games they were also part of this wave of closings, Twisted Pixel who Microsoft used to own got bought by Meta and now also part of this wave of closures. Things have not been paying off and the gaming bubble for companies and investors is not there anymore at least for starting from the ground up Meta and Amazon are examples of that. It’s weird to me Sony never bought them and now they may not pursue acquisitions too because Jim Ryan went on a buying spree now most of those studios he bought are closed and he spent billions on Bungie and that has not paid off same with Jade Raymond and other live service projects or wasting money on Kojima.

        1. You forgot the venture capitalist firms they normally buy this stuff too and other things to hold onto then sell or normally just destroy funded by anyone with a job and a 401k using your money for their nonsense and if they were to come close to collapse both political parties have said they would built them out with your tax payer money. Antics they do includes pushing wokeness and agenda through investments using your money while they stay mega rich. Apollo, Black Stone, Black Rock, Vanguard, and many others included.

        2. Sony will cancel more games watch Fairgames for sure is canceled and Haven studios probably closing soon. Saros will flop and Returnal flopped before it why waste even more money on another game like the last one from the same studio but more expensive? All said and done I think PS6 will be their last console and they sell off PlayStation to Tencent they won’t make consoles and then sell Sony Pictures off. Anime has been Sony’s big thing right now and the music division does ok but PlayStation they have high expectations it doesn’t seem to be meeting I mean Jim Ryan promised them PS5 would sell double the PS4 in half the time that is not happening and he got Shawn Layden fired for wanting to focus on more AA first party to have more consistent releases telling Sony it would deteriorate the brand so he could snag Shawn’s job. Sony Pictures outside Spider-man and some other select titles normally put out flops so I can see them selling that off finally and buyers want the library they have little IP.

      2. Sucker Punch games were better I would rather just let the franchise die over what Sony would do to it now, the studios are not the same so many have left and it’s too late now if they did it would be a $80-100 game for a $800-1000 PS6 with no disc drive all digital.

      1. Bro just ignore them just some stunted adult with mental and emotional issues. All they do is complain and annoy everyone. Honestly watch it be a 40 year old tranny.

      2. I feel it has the nostalgia should have been catered to on PS4 now it feels too late for a lot of this stuff most people have moved on same goes for everything in entertainment they choose to just make bad choices not understand nostalgia waves and the younger generation. Despite what Herman said I don’t know who makes a Sly or Jak game now and even worse on PS6 just feels like more talk meanwhile he gave Kojima more money for another game and movie directing job.

        1. It’s a woman a 40+ year old with a cringe anime profile pic and no man just miserable and wants everyone to be like her all talk no action just annoying. Watch she uses burners here

      1. Then why are you here? Go do something else with your time other than using this site. Go Touch Grass! You say replying to people is wrong wow? Talk about snowflake

    2. It’s true funny when I was a kid they attacked us for liking Shadow and Silver as characters but they are complete freaks and they were adults mocking kids, calling it “dark and edgy” like it’s slander but they became degenerates like Chris Chan and worse all of them now pushing 50.

    3. Agreed bro. When I was a kid I liked Sonic and Shadow the weirdos who were adults picked on kids saying that was bad and it’s “dark” it “edgelord” they throw those words around yet became sex freaks or probably always were. Silver is my favorite Sonic character they slandered him they made Sonic 06 a bigger deal than it needed to be meanwhile they were PDF’s and furries. Now they still act like this almost 50 and are weirdos even here some comments pushing this weird stuff. So much is wrong with society because of these people they also I would say ruined Sonic stopping it from appealing to kids and becoming their weird thing they don’t even really like just want control of. Also won’t forget they attacked anime fans but are now weird woke furries and degens like Chris chan

  1. The original studio who made the first 2 games is still open Big Red Button founded by former Crash bandicoot creator. Bob Rafei, I say give that man a team at Activision Vicarious Visions to bring back Crash and Spyro, his canceled project Crash N Burn looked cool.

  2. They need to make a dating simulator with Amy and Blaze and Rouge, the sexiest female characters in the series I would say.. 🤤
