Hirokazu Yasuhara deserves more credit. Dude went from designing gameplay for Sonic to Jak to Uncharted 1.
Woah this is a huge one!
This panel is adorable and I love it
The geniuses behind this great series, thanks guys.
Wow, these guys are legends
The guys that made Sonic Mania should add those never-used dance animations into the game as a wee Easter egg or something. :-D
Anyone else hate when the speaker mentions a slide and we see nothing?
You'd think that after years of this issue plaguing GDC videos, they'd finally understand... but nah, still here.
Ridiculous. Who the hell edits these videos?
11:39 - why is it so hard to show the slide when one of the speakers specifically tells people to look at it? Many, many GDC videos have this problem :-/
No one needs this more than Sonic team
Diego Antonio Rosario Palomino leave them be dad.
Why?
36:30 this animator is wayyyy ahead of his time
Have you seen Ghost in the Shell 1989 before saying such a thing ?
Terrific video.
Great video !

Thank you for this talk. Interestingly enough, I've tried to draw Sonic when I was a small boy. I never succeeded and it always looked awful but I'm mostly certain that this was due to my inability to draw and not because of how difficult Sonic's character was to draw. :-)
ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ２and ソニック＆テイルス for ゲームギア were so much fun to play. With the original メガドラ version it isn't that there was something wrong about it in particular making it less fun to play as compared to the aforementioned titles released for ゲームギア. It offered fast paced gameplay, the music sounded great, and it had a nice look to it. It just didn't feel right and wasn't much fun to play. Maybe this had to do with something related to level design or because the bonus stage felt so repetitive after awhile.
10:00 Explains why we see so many sonics at Deviantart
this one has less views but its one of the best GDCs I've seen!
54:45 The original Sonic OC
WHEN WILL WE LEARN?
Nier:Automata, Sonic the Hedgehog and Horizon Zero Dawn, man we have some interesting GDC stuff this year.
Hands up if you tried to draw Sonic in the 90's
wow is sonic dad

Next time anyone says Sonic is (just?) for kids, show them that clip!
When I was a kid, in Brazil, Sega was everything everywhere.
The Megadrive was the talk of the town, my cousin got one with Streets of Rage, Sonic, Golden Axe and Altered Beast, I looked at the Megadrive and tried to figure out how it was even possible that that black box could do all that magic.
As I had no internet, my kiddy brain settled for the idea that it was the work of tiny little people with different abilities working inside the box;
One imagined it all, one drew it on the TV and one was some sort of musical genius that could make music on the spot.
Of course I eventually learned how it all really comes together as I got older but the kid in me can't help but feel happy to finally see and hear the brilliant inhabitants of the Megadrive.
Why are comments disabled on some recent video? I always love the discussion in the comments, sad that they're not there :(
They probably don't want to bother with moderation. :(
Who is the translator?
She's like yeah kinda you know uhh
Blue Mickey Mouse. Got it. Lol.
Wow, this is a truly postmorten, not that PR bulls**t western gives us. Thank you for this
Have you watched some of these classic postmortems?
You clearly haven't watched many...
315 likes for this video?!
Those words related to Sega are a bit unfortunate if you consider what happened in the late 90's...
'reckless' in particular... XD
Sonic from videogame to Fetish icon.
@Giogiogio4
You are stupid
5:12 No wonder Eggman can run faster than Sonic
15:57 "Vitality"
No wonder Sega's still up and running
Didn't Nintendo buy them out after they failed?
@@BatteryExhausted No, the president of SEGA Isao Okawa gave back over 500 mil in stocks to try to keep investors, and they stabilized into software production. They also made good money off of arcades in Japan. They're doing fine now between acquiring Atlus, and the Yakuza series taking off globally. Only Sonic Team is still sitting around eating paste.
That part about Sonic being for all ages is bullcrap; I mean, everyone says they've grown out of Sonic. How do you outgrow something that's for all ages?
I can't tell if you're being serious or you're trolling. Hasty generalization and false dilemma aside, he's done nothing but grow in popularity and has gained tons of new fans while retaining many lifelong fans. People are allowed to stop enjoying something, even if the attempt was to try to make something that everyone could enjoy.
Thank you for uploading this precious talk!
I really dislike how this translator interprets what the presenter says with intonations, attitude, "ooh"s and "uhm"s, and even chuckles (4:42) as if the work was hers... She should stick with conveying the words only.
Do I see this right, they live decades in the USA and unable or unwilling to hold their presentation in english or stand up? Instead lets get a female translator and talk while she translates. And worse it fits the bad stereotypes about japanease culture I try to get you of my head, or is it just me?!
Go live in Japan and find out how easy it is to learn a new language. They are Japanese and very busy at work. I give them a pass when they speak their native language. Shove your petty, bigot mindset up your rotten backside. You don't speak Navajo like the natives of America, do you?
