Literally my most anticipated game since it was first revealed. August can't come soon enough.

It better be GOAT.

1,2,3&K and CD are the must plays right? Forget everything else?

Now that I've gotten Tekken 7 out of the way (which was a bit of a squib, to be honest), yes.

>>378960062
Yeah, those are the essential ones before you play Mania.

I'd recommend playing CD before 2, but yeah.

Sonic 1 and 2 on Master System are absolutely worth playing as well, and Sonic Chaos and Triple Trouble are interesting enough to invest the hour or so they last. Knuckles Chaotix is mediocre but interesting and has great music. Don't play Sonic Blast or any version of 3D Blast except the Saturn version (Steam emulates the shittier Genesis version).

I hope it does well enough for a single sequel and nothing more. We already have five very distinct classic Sonic games and Mania's a remix more than anything. One last fully original game, made as a passion project that incorporates elements from it all with its own unique bits, is all we need. Any more approaches Mega Man 10 levels of redundant.

>>378961014

I'd fucking love that.
The way you're introduced to the first level in Sonic 3 is absolutely amazing and the most memorable intro to a Sonic game besides City Escape.

>>378961014
do you think the soundtrack will be the high quality electronica, or midi old skool

>>378962937
>>378962937
Yeah it will, its been confirmed if I remember correctly

>>378962714
I'm not bothered though, I'm sure it will be a great game regardless. It's clearly meant to be an anniversary game that celebrates Sonic's history.
Maybe if it does well the devs will get to make another one with only new stages.

>>378962973
City Escape was such a refreshing first-level. Even the Generations versions did it justice, and was probably one of the best Classic levels in that game.

They wouldn't use Green Hill if Sega didn't force it. Just like they were clearly forced to use Stardust Speedway because MUH METAL SONIC but opted for the Past version.

A better selection would have had Tidal Tempest as the water zone and Starlight as the city zone.

>>378961776
I LIKE

Give it just a touch of modern flair, and we've got a winner.

>>378960062

CD isn't actually good, it's literally a meme game. As in, almost no one had a Sega CD, but it looked cool in screenshots, the intro was cool and it had Metal Sonic, so it got a cult following of people who never actually played it.

That stale rhetoric only worked before the Tax port, bub. People who like CD tend to like it for its replayability and emphasis on distinct level design. Its biggest faults are Wacky Workbench and how easy the bosses are.

I feel like people who shit on it never played 1 very much. They have a very similar structure, and Marble Zone is arguably even worse than WW.

God, this. Marble Zone does the cardinal sin of being boring as fuck. At least Wacky Workbench has (some) speed to it, and has quirky layout design that despite its irritation, is engaging. To add, Act 2 is a lot more tolerable than Act 1 (major reduction of electric wires).

Wait a sec...this game is going to have animated cutscenes like sonic CD?

1 has the best game design as a whole and does a better job of teaching things implicitly, but has the most parts that aren't fun to replay.

2 is the best for casual play and probably the most entertaining, but is also the most broken and relies on quantity over quality.

CD probably has the best stage design of all and the most dense content, but lacks a lot of 2 and 3K's simple fun and refuses to punish mistakes as much as it should.

3 and K have the best spectacle, variety, and provide the most balanced package, but there's iffy art direction at spots, more emphasis on trying to look cool over solid design at points, and &K' s levels feel more like a bunch of transitional levels crammed together instead of a proper arc of progression.

They all have strengths and weaknesses, and anyone who thinks personal preference is a meme is retarded. There's valid reason to like or dislike any of them because they're meaningful variations on the formula.

Destroying the generator to get a good future. You could also destroy the projector to have animals running around but that's just for aesthetics.

You explore, it is an adventure.
>? And how are you supposed to gain speed to change time when there's always objects that obstruct you from going fast?
You find a good place for it. There are areas sprinkled all over every stage where it's easy to time travel.

>>378965261
The comics are dead.

>>378965276
Unless you're suggesting they outsourced to a competent outside company again and also lent out Koshiro, you're assuming Sega would somehow make a 180 from their normal behavior.

I'm not sure what's more contrarian; genuinely enjoying a less-popular game from the series or trying to label anyone who likes that game as a contrarian.

>>378967019
How does that make any sense? How about an actual response instead of just spouting nonsense. Or do you not have thoughts?

W-Whoa, it's almost like anyone can make a shitty image. 3&K had terrible sprite work, putrid visuals on a lot of stages, worse music than either 2 or CD, and the Knuckles stages were bad design in general.

>>378967286
Kirby doesn't look like nu-male garbage like that proposed Sonic redesign, you literal retard. What are you not understanding here?

>>378966098

It's boring and its art style is inconsistent and uninteresting. And about Labyrinth I think they want some comfy zone (music, second original zone etc.) but it became too difficult and slow and claustrophobic to be comfy, so it's also inconsistent in the style in result.

>>378965417
Sega is avoiding the mistakes of the past like Sonic 4 and 06. Sega does deserve some credit for at least swallowing their pride and getting people that realize how to make a good Sonic.

>>378966917
Probably never. Years later critics are still joking about Sonic having sex with Elise or complaining about Sonic's shitty friends despite them not being relevant in years.

>>378967420
How are the design conventions different? They're both trying to be as "simple" "innocent" and "vulnerable" as possible. What makes one nu-make cuck garbage and not the other? The answer is, nothing. It's just a vague design style, one is just unfitting because it doesn't work for the character or the setting.

I also think he's mistaking taking certain gimmicks from the Act for ripping assets and plopping them into Mania wholesale, which is not what they did at all. Those hovering fan things aren't even in FBZ from what I recall. And the single monkey bar platform things are totally new too. Not to mention all the garbage compactor stuff.

I dunno, it's just irritating to see people claim "lol copypasta" when there's barely any of that at all, and like you say, Act 2's are going to be completely new stuff. I don't care for all the old Zones coming back either but calling them exact copies of them is just retarded.

>Best Stage Design
That goes to 2. CD has the WORST stage design simply because they are designed in a way that isn't fitting for sonic.

CD tries for force the player to explore a level, in a game that is solely focused on going right. It's complete shit and makes for a slow game that is only fun when you aren't trying to 100% it.

>>378960062
Right. Don't try to 100% CD though. It's not fun at all and barely worth the pay off. Most of CD's flaws come out in super obvious and noticeable ways when you try to 100% it.

If any game you want to 100%, 2 is the best answer. 1 doesn't have a good pay off and while 3&K has the coolest shit for 100%, it is not worth it for how much time and effort you have to put into collecting ALL OF THOSE EMERALDS.

The first two zones in Sonic 2 are boring. Emerald Hill is very small and boring and chemical plant zone has a fuckton of "watch Sonic do stuff you can't control" parts. The other levels are solid, and Metropolis just lasts too long and gets a bit annoying.

I'd say Sonic and Knuckles has the best stages overall. Nothing out of S&K's stands out as bad.

>>378977215

There was a good reason Tails needed the Super Emeralds to have a Super form.

>>378974605

Super forms for all three. No hyper.

>According to the director of the 2011 re-release of Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Christian Whitehead, it would have taken place in a distorted time warp and the boss was planned to be virtually invincible in its current form. The only way to defeat it would be to warp speed to "wind back the clock" and destroy parts of it when it was more vulnerable (possibly being built). It was planned to use the "Final Fever" music track, with the previous boss using the standard boss theme if this round is next.
>yfw it makes it into Mania

>>378977080
Super Sonic and Super Knuckles seems to be the safest bet, but I'd love Hyper forms and Super Tails to be back too.

Tails is already baby mode and Super Tails is playing as God in baby mode. Limiting Super Tails to Super Emeralds was a good way to balance the game, but it would be understandable to give Tails the Super form with just Chaos Emeralds, IF Super Emeralds aren't in the game.
But, if Hyper Emeralds ARE in the game, and they give him a Super form AND a Hyper form to somehow make Tails even MORE powerful than Super Tails that would be an absolutely redundant amount of power. What would they do, add a "beat the game now" button?

Carnival Night is probably the worst one for me, just because it took me literally years to figure out how to get past the barrel, even then I figured it out accidentally and almost threw the game away.

Why not make Adventure style

>in Sonic Mania, to "wind back the clock", Sonic would have to combine the powers of the Chaos Emeralds that the collected, the Time Stones that Tails collected and the power of the Super Emeralds, which Knuckles recovered

>a video game only has this feature because it was good game design to include it
So that's a reason for them to never return? I understand that they were invented because of certain circumstances but it worked out great, there's no reason not to bring them back.

Infinite flight.

And twice as fast with twice the flickys

I prefer 1-3's regular running animation, the swirl looks stupid.

Oh boy this will ruffle some feathers.

This. I never liked the swirl. It looks stupid and makes no sense. They dropped it from the final version for a reason but every fangame dev fucking insists on using it, just like they insist on constantly using the godawful Sonic CD jump sound effect.

>>378977984
And each a press in flight elevates you as much as Hyper Sonic's jump

>>378963454
? Mega Man 10 was fine.

Super forms are already baby mode. They aren't balanced to begin with and they aren't supposed to be.

>it is not worth it for how much time and effort you have to put into collecting ALL OF THOSE EMERALDS
Questionable. I've gotten hypersonic like 4 times now. It feels pretty worth.

They're not a mode, they're a temporary transformation that you earn. Tails is baby mode, Sonic is normal mode, Knuckles is hard mode.

I know what you're doing here, ya little bugger.

Swirl only shows up during speed shoes in Mania

>>378978495
How is knuckles hard mode?

The people who dislike CD are the ones who are genuinely confused by its level design and believe Sonic is just about holding right and going fast. Prove me wrong.

>>378978495
You get my point you pedantic faggot. Trying to "balance" an inherently imbalanced mechanic is fucking dumb.

I like both styles, helps that Mania has gorgeous animation.

>>378977634
Also it would be a waste to scrap standalone & Knuckles' set of Special Stages.
