Shame, thought the punch was an actual action (since the trailer mentioned it under climbing and gliding) so it wouldn't be an idle animation happening that soon after an action.

Theoretically, CD might not be on the elevator because it takes place on a different planet. The other 4 games take place on the same planet but just span 3 different islands.

>>378566537
>CD isn't hard at all. It's just stuffed with bad level design.

The "bad level design" is for going into the past and future if you know what you are doing. It's for exploration to find the machines or the Metal Sonic's projector. And most of the present bottom routes are just a "hold right to win" with some badniks on the way and spikes

Stardust is the one level that looks like a Sonic 1 like a Starlight zone

Would they even be able to bring Ice Cap Zone back with its original music? It was one of the ones that had to be changed in the PC version, so there might be some problems there...

It's crazy how this nails every aspect of Sonic people have wanted for so long while Sega and Sonic Team still seem so clueless about what to do.

They put the effort in to make the old levels different to their original incarnations. To do that for the 30+ zones that exist in the original trilogy and CD would just be unfeasible for such a small dev team (IIRC there were only 6 people working on Mania before the delay).

That's an exaggerated parody of the characters. While humorous, it isn't exactly indictive of whether or not he could actually write them in a non over-the-top wacky setting.

Hesse probably would've gotten a chance to write some issues like Stanley and Yardley did had the comic not gotten canceled.

>>378572049
It's an exaggeration but still shows writing competency and good joke structure. He COULD write the comic and it'd probably be good.

When you listen to Richard Jacques remix of it (For Sonic Racing transformed). It sounds so much better from the instrumentation to even the small little samples he uses (Like the drum roll sampled from the Genesis). The Sonic 4 synths were just awful while Jacques' version sounds terrifying.

Mystic Cave for 2. Absolutely not Hyrocity for 3. That shit is so overrated. Aesthetically I'd like Marble Garden if they make it play better and explore the ruins theme more. But since the act 1s of the throwback levels seem to have minimal changes I guess I'll go with Ice Cap. Too bad the music would undoubtedly be changed.

PC but I think I might get a copy on the Switch for the hell of it later. Thank god the game is only $20, that's a great price for this.

>>378577959
Mystic cave would be okay but I like the music more than the stage itself.

Why are all the classes characters so much cuter than the modern ones? Is it just the new art style?

Kill all Amyfags. She's just as fucking useless and pointless as the rest of the friend characters. ou fucking furries don't get to keep her just cuz she was in the classics. I'd sooner wish this game had voice acting than have Amy in it in anyway shape or form

>>378579127
Pretty much. Adventure redesigns made the characters lankier and taller to look more athletic and more like teenagers.

I'd like Carnival Night but it won't happen due to music issues. You can't improve perfect zones like Marble Garden so I wouldn't want that either. I guess I'll go with Hydrocity although they can't improve the godly act 2 music which is the best VGM ever composed...same way the FBZ remix for Sonic Mania sounds underwhelming

I'd be fine with this theme in Sonic 4 desu. I trust the dev team to do a good remix of it.

White Park in general (despite Act 3 being UTTER SHIT) was a breath of uniqueness compared to the rest of Sonic 4 as a whole (Death Egg Mk II was cool too I guess).

>>378568409

White park is the only real original mashup of tropes in the Sonic 4 line. And even then only Act 2. Fuck everything about 4.

White Park was a poor man's Ice Paradise from Advance 2

>>378580293
It would have been cool if the Green Hill Zone just had acts that traveled into another "hill zone" and then that were it for the classic levels. Too bad they're just redoing a bunch of random stages now.

>>378580660
That is such a badass jump animation tbqh
But seriously Classic Vector is funky as fuck...Modern Vector looks like a stupid high school jock on the other hand

>>378580695
Eh, White Park has more gimmicks/variety than Ice Paradise. Every level in Advance 2 feels like it has roughly the same architecture and way too short of gimmicks.

Can we just kill everybody involved in modern sonic? Would anybody miss those people?

>>378580874
As much as I like Modern Vector's personality and traits, I'd be more than happy to revert him to his carefree jamming OG self.

>>378580885
Doesn't make it good
Ice Paradise still has better art style, is better designed and has far better music
