Did they get Tyson Hesse to do the animation/art for that? Certainly looks like his work.

>>378546179

Flying Battery would be my second pick right behind Lava Reef so i'm fine with it, although it does look a little tame as of now

>>378547306
The simple fact that Sonic Forces allows you to make your own OC pretty much guarantees that it will outsell Mania.

>>378546179
Sonic's classic design is so timeless. It's the modern one that's stuck in the 90's.

People keep saying this, but I haven't seen anyone who's actually excited about it themselves.

In general, I think people are overestimating how well that will go over. A lot of people who are the type of people who make Sonic OCs are very very picky about how they like their Sonic, and anything that goes against their headcanon isn't well received.

>>378547478
Aren't Angel Island, Hydrocity, and Marble Garden the only zones from 3 that they could actually include because of music copyrights or something?

Sega's aversion was that they didn't own it. Buxler said to GT he'd be happy to work with Sega again since he owns the song rights. I could see them working something out.

Carnival Night and Launch Base were certainly Jackon's work though and Sega ain't gonna touch those.

And by the same guy who did the animation for the sonic movie in the eraly 2000s.

Cool. I'm not a big fan of 2D Sonics but I really hope this goes well because it could potentially affect how 3D Sonic games are treated in the future as well.

I just want the PS2/GC era style gameplay with some refined physics. Is that too much to ask?

My feeling is that Taxman and co. embraced the decision because they could just go ham with reusing content and making a huge game on par with Sonic 2/3K.
If reusing stages hadn't been a thought then Mania would probably only be about 5-6 new zones long, which by our standards is roughly 1/2 a Sonic game.

The thing with the "throwback" Zones, is that their presence in Mania makes sense. It's a rather consistent gradual increase in the freedom that TaxStealth are given in their official Sonic game ventures. Look at the timeline:

2011:
>Sonic CD remake
>they wanted to add Final Fever, but weren't allowed to
>were allowed to add Tails

2013:
>Sonic 1 and 2 remakes
>allowed to add new paths, both Tails and Knuckles, and a 'new' level (Hidden Palace)

2017:
>Sonic Mania
>allowed to overhaul existing Zones, add fully fleshed new Zones, and a new ability for Sonic

If Mania does well, I can see TaxStealth getting even more freedom with the next game (ie: no more throwback Zones, maybe a new character, etc).

>>378553880
Past levels never had a US mix.

>>378553932

Basically. FP was just a mix of many Genesis platformers, not necessarily a Sonic clone.

Which is honestly what I feel crippled it. They should've went the whole nine yard with being a Sonic clone instead of trying to shoehorn in other platformers.

>>378548524
I like Sonic & Tails as a duo, but not Knuckles as a third wheel. Only when he HAS to. Otherwise, keep him as an independent.
