What do you want from a Sonic Mania sequel?

A sequel's guaranteed, isn't it?
>>
>>376860675
I hope this game turns out to be shit just so you suffer for making this thread
>>
>A sequel's guaranteed, isn't it?
Were gonna see if the Classic Sonic fanbase really are worth caring about with Mania. If it somehow under performs while appearing to be amazing then SEGA should pay no mind to Classic Sonic fans anymore.

>SEGA should pay no mind to Classic Sonic fans anymore.
Even people who enjoy the 2D games tend to hate Classic Sonic's gameplay in Generations and Forces. I wish they'd stop pandering and including Classic Sonic as a crutch.
>>
All I want in a sequel, if it's not already part of Mania:

>Chao Garden
>Sonic Spinball
>Mean Bean Machine
>Chaotix (From the 32x)

Put these in, and I'll be interested.
>>
>>376861405
>Chaotix (From the 32x)

More characters is indeed the only thing I'd want. I really want Shadow and Blaze to be playable again and the Chaotix (at least Espio and Vector) already have a template to go off of with their abilities in Knuckles Chaotix.

I hope the game fucking fails and we never get another classic sonic game again. The series needs to move forwards not backwards. And fuck the people who will get offended by this. It's time modern fans took a stand

I don't think some of the modern games are outright bad, but none of them are as good as CD/2/3&K. If 2D platformer is outright backwards to you I have nothing more to say to you as I find it preferable.

Return to form and go from there, more like. Yes, 3K is the peak of the series' quality. But the games also need to grow. We can't rigidly reproduce the same game time and time again. Fortunately Mania seems like it understands that, though it looks like it could springboard off it more than it did.

You know, I was fine with seeing the old levels redone and shit because I mean, those levels are fucking classic and Nintendo redoes levels constantly and no one says shit.

But I think I'm starting to actually agree with the loud mouthed faggots that cry about using the same levels now.

Seriously. I know the reasons they do it, I'm just sick of the first few levels being remakes in every sonic game now.

They actually need to try and step away from recycling the old levels now.

It's like wanting DMC to have Arkham Asylum controls. Yea, it's smoother but at the point of completely nullifying any intensity to it.
>>
The classic games aren't fun why do people like them so much? is it the chibi artstyle? It can't be the gameplay. Honestly I ahd much more fun with Sa1,Sa2, Heroes, and Shadow than any of the classics. Sadly after those games everything went to shit. 06 was supposed to be Sa3, it was supposed to be the magnum opus of Sonic Games, and it just failed so hard. I think because of this Sonic Team is completely afraid to touch anything in the "sa3" area and it makes me sad.
I would even be happy for a Sonic 06 reboot that replaces the mach sections with the hedgehog engine and replacing the engine altogether with the hedgehog engine, replace the elise gameplay with normal gameplay, and overall fix the technical problems with the game. I think if they were given more time they could salvage the game.

THIRTEEN games in fifteen years that have all, every single one of them, been a complete waste of fucking time and resources

What is the fucking opportunity cost of creating the mountain of burning shit that has been the last 15 years of Sonic games?

Thirteen fucking sequels to Panzer Dragoon, Skies of Arcadia, Shinobi, Shenmue, Golden Axe, Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio, Gunvalkyrie, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Tennis, Sega GT, Phantasy Star, Samba De Amigo or Chu-Chu Rocket that weren't made because Sega has to shit out another 3D Sonic abortion

It's pretty simple anon. Sonic makes money. Those games didn't.

Nowadays Sega is in a lot better financial situation, so they can afford a few experimental titles here and there instead of just relying on Sonic or Alien just to stay afloat.

That's exactly what Sonic 4 had.

The only problem with it was that after you beat an Act, it asked you if you wanted to "Press Y to go to the next Act" instead of "Press Y to go back to the world map"

So just make sure that doesn't happen again and a world map will be fine.
>>
>>376871696
>Sega only still exists because of fucking Football Manager btw, not the 500,000 copies of the latest Sonic turd that barely broke even
I didn't say Sega's current financial position is thanks to Sonic, Sonic just kept them afloat when the Dreamcast failed and they decided to go third-party, which is why they kept the series around when they later had to cut most of their published library down to three or four IPs.

Now they're not having the same issues, likely due to the company's new president
>>
The only reason why Lost World and Boom sold so poorly was because Sega was stupid enough to do an exclusivity deal with Nintendo for Nintendo's worst-selling console to date. You can't even blame quality when even 06 sold millions.

The fact that Forces and Mania will be multiplat on all major platforms will guarantee that both will be massive successes by Sega standards.

Great argument guys.
I don't even understand what people are saying where the controls are great for a Sonic game in the slightest.
The're tight, comfortable, and easy to get into.


But it's really boring. Outrageously boring. I don't feel a real sense of speed or experimentation at all.
Even the peelout feels like a rip where it still has a pretty similar peak to even ground running.

What's your point, every Sonic game after it was just as shit with equally tepid reviews

Secret Rings: 69/100 - game was a fucking pile of shit
Black Knight: 54/100 - game was shovelware
Lost World: 57/100 - mobile game design applied to consoles

These are fucking GENEROUS scores, and yet you accuse reviewers of 'dumping' on them, which means you think they deserve higher score, meaning you have fucking worthless taste
>>
>>376874817
No, Lost World is about right. It's not abysmal, but it doesn't deserve to be much higher than a 50.

mate, getting a compliment from a video game journalist isn't generous. it's a fucking pox.

you're knowingly avoiding the lukewarm reception to colours and generations even though they're fan favourites.

Lost World is on PC now and Colors was also Wii exclusive.
>>
>>376872430
That begs the question, what is a massive success for this game? How many people are even working on it?

One thing I'm confused about is why Capcom stopped after Mega Man 10 because both 9 & 10 seemed to be large successes for such a small investment.
>>
>>376863628
For me, as an old school fan, the things that pissed me off most about the bloated roster was that, for one, the overall time spent as Sonic usually suffered for it. And the way it was handled in S3&K was abandoned, with there being branching parts in the acts that only certain characters could access.
They instead split the game up and wasted time with gameplay that just plain sucked

more levels

excellent music

>>A sequel's guaranteed, isn't it?

Doubtful. Mania is being built by a small team on a small budget with what I assume would be a ridiculous schedule. I don't see a Mania 2 happening unless SEGA bothers to give them a budget and an actual staff.
>>
>>376878573

Because people started bitching about Capcom rehashing Mega Man again.
>>
>>376878630
True. But most people aren't so logical. Some people recoil at even the sight of characters who aren't Sonic, Tails or Knuckles.

Roster bloat was never really a problem in my opinion. It was just that the alternate game modes were frequently not that fun.
>>
I want every level to be original. No more retreads.
>>
>>376878787
Why would that complaint mean anything if they were making money?
>>
Which system has the best D-Pad to play this on?
>>
>>376879004
I would imagine MM10 probably had diminishing returns after MM9. Less novelty, and drama queens were probably expecting endless sequels upon seeing a second modern game in that formula.
>>
>>376879047
PS4. Though you might find a good pad for PC.
>>
>>376879004

Critical success, but I doubt 9 and 10 were big commercial success as you believe them to be. Mega Man games have sold an abysmal amount since Battle Network 4.

Mega Man 9 and 10 aren't even on Capcom's Platinum Titles list, a list of Capcom's best selling titles of all time. Fucking Remember Me is on that list.
>>
>>376879047

>Asking this question for a Sonic game

They're hardly demanding. As long as you can go left and right reliably, you'll be fine.

Honestly, all 3 consoles have pretty good controls this gen.
>>
>>376879201
>Fucking Remember Me is on that list.
Unfortunately, modern gamers are very visual-oriented. An 8-bit game, novelty or not, is probably not going to hook the modern generation. I hate to say it but nostalgiafags like us are in the minority.
>>
>>376879282
The 360 pad would make you drop into a roll when you didnt want to a lot of times.
>>
>>376879487

We're 5 years into this generation.

I think we can safely stop calling the 360 "current gen"
>>
I didn't know they were making it a bit more physics based. That's honestly the direction they should have gone all along. Instead of focusing on speed, which was really never the point of the classic games.
>>
>>376879487
I hate those rigid plastic tophat d-pads.
>>
>>376879640
I didn't. I'm saying that a good d-pad does matter for Sonic, which is why I was asking....
>>
>>376879689
>which was really never the point of the classic games

Yuji Naka wanted to make a fast side scrolling game without a run button. A ball rolling physics system was his solution.

Speed was absolutely the point.
>>
>>376879809
It was a feature. Most of your time is spent platforming and carefully navigating the levels.
The Advance games are what you get when you make speed the focus. Or the HOLD X TO BOOST parts in modern ones.
>>
>>376879346
I don't solely believe it's nostalgia though nostalgia does play a big part for some. I think it's solely because new age gamers have been turning into tech drones. If it's not new and not the best then why bother. Before long consoles will be like cell phones be prepared to buy a new one every year.
>>
>>376861229
Because "classic" sonic isn't classic at all. Nothing about his stages or gameplay mirror older games. It's just slightly slower side-scrolling modern sonic without boost
>>
>>376871164
I've played random Sonic Worlds shit that's better though, that's the problem. This thing took ten fucking years and it looks and handles like ass with weak stage design.

haven't played BtS, but AtS also kind of sucks
>>
>>376861229
The "classic" parts still dont feel right
>>
>>376879991
I'm mostly talking about first impressions. I very much believe MM9 to be a good game. But the aesthetic of a game from yesteryear scares a lot of people off, or makes them think it's some budget indie title or something.

I ALMOST can't blame them for that impression. So many shit indie games have tried to capitalize on retro gaming how can someone be expected to recognize when one isn't just a shitty cash-grab?

I mean, I would hope people would be able to recognize Megaman and give benefit of the doubt, but...
>>
>>376862128
modern fans are wrong

none of the 3d sonic games are good
>>
>>376880210
MM9 was a huge success though. It didn't scare anybody off. Sega and Namco have been selling the same collection of old shit over and over every generation.
Shovel Knight is a phenomenon.
>>
>>376880363
But it still wasn't a platinum title?
>>
>>376880363
>MM9 was a huge success though.

Based on what numbers?

It was a modest success, enough for Capcom to try another stab but it didn't set the world on fire.
>>
>>376880210
Yeah I see that too. I mean some Indie retro games are good but I agree most are shit looking for a quick buck. Honestly though lately so many AAA games seem to be going for the same strategy
>>
>>376880716
Are you asking?
It was a digital download?
??
>>
>>376880363
Though SEGA has be selling the same old shit over and over atleast they add shit to there rereleases of sonic but everything else fuck that.
>>
>>376873965
Play it on BlueStacks faggot
>>
>>376873965
Bluestacks or an android TV box. Honestly you can find an android TV box that can play both for under 30 dollars.
