People were outraged that Sonic had green eyes in Sonic 4, which was supposed to be a continuation of the classic series.
They argued that he should have had his classic solid black eyes.
The fact that the rest of his design was Modern Sonic didn't seem to bother them, however.

Find it kinda interesting that Sonic and Tails' sprites are pretty similar to their OG ones but Knuckles is basically a complete redraw.

>>379437664
I really wish Knuckles wasn't cut off.
I would love to use this as my wallpaper but Knuckles being cut off bothers me way too much.

>>379437664

No because I don't give a shit about any of that collector fluff and the one thing that would have gotten me (a physical release) was just a USB drive with a key.

Preordered the second it hit PSN though. Probably gonna get it on Steam as well just because.

Along with making him lankier it's just weaker character design with blander color distribution. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are all supposed to look different, they all had different designers, making them all fit into a mold like the newer Sonic friends is a bad way to go. No point in hating it since it's just a shitty spin-off, there's only one person who actually gets angry about it and you know who that is.

From a character design perspective, skin colored arms makes Sonics arms stick out on his sprite better due to Sonic having blue spines going down and along his back. His legs on the other hand, have no blue behind them thus don't need to be skin colored. It's a similar case as to why Mickey Mouse wears white gloves; to contrast against his black body.

>>379440684
Before Sonic Adventure Knuckles was often thought of as being Australian, because he's an echidna. That much makes sense, yeah? But at that point in time in Japan the cliche was that Australia was like the Old West. How anyone could come to that conclusion I don't know. I have to blame Warner Brothers cartoons for that, I guess. But that's why he had a cowboy hat. Yeeha m8.

She's cute but a lot of focus is put on her over Tails or Knuckles. There would be more room for writing the Sonic-Tails-Knuckles dynamic on an adventure, in a funny and interesting way, if they didn't need to spend the time it takes to focus on adding a fourth protagonist. Trios typically work better when you only have so much space to convey a character-focused story. If you're a fan of her specifically I'm sure you don't want to hear it but I kind of just kind of wanted a classic Sonic story from this, when I saw the announcement. The comic is fine and all, and Amy isn't BAD in it, but she just seems kind of eh and she takes up some space that could go to better characters. Seems like the writer likes her especially, I haven't read them since they came out but I think she's solved more problems than Tails and Knuckles combined.

It's based of one of the very first concept arts when Sonic was yet to be created and Sega was still trying to come up with a mascot. Robotnik was one of the first mascot idea characters they thought of.

To be finished never, since Archie needs to finally die.

Since they supposedly threw the entire company to work on Riverdale, does that mean even Ian had to have a hand in that for a paycheck?

>>379445578
This looks great. It'll take AAA 16 bit games rather than 8 bit stuff any day.

>>379445578
Why is he pink?

>>379437665
>one button
He uses everything but the analogue stick and y button.

>>379439819
He could have actually gone faster, he missed two jumps that he could have made without the stick. They really did make it far to easy to get S Rank, that stage can be done in under 2 minutes easily.

>>379445838
He's younger, his hair hasn't fully grown into an adult shade of red yet.

Back in the day, he (Knuckles) requested his promo art be altered to red so he'd look cooler and more mature.

>>379437360
>3D Blast Tails and Knuckles are facing the wrong way

This shouldn't bug me nearly as much as it does.

>>379446038
He's red in the intro though.
If it was just stylization to make him pop like making Sonic cyan it would be fine, just make his shoes pink too.

I wish they would remake some of the sonic advance levels in hd.

All this picture did, was confirm to me that blue arm sonic feels more consistent with his legs and the rest of his cast
No need for this shitty doomsay

>>379447432
I'd love to revisit Egg Rocket Zone with higher quality sprites and sound quality. Hell I'd love to see at least half of every Advanced game get retooled into another Mania-styled game.

>>379447432
Well, at the very least there are some Advance references, such as afterimages when running at full speed.

>>379439431
No no, that's Iizuka and Sonic Team, silly.

>>379447769
>the bubble shield actually reacts with proper physics off of slanted/curved surfaces
neato

>>379447913
Let's make Eggman an animal then, cuz he's wildly inconsistent with the rest of the cast. Consistency takes priority over good character design.

So we know there's a Sonic & Tails mode, but do you think there'll be other combinations ala Knuckles Chaotix or Sonic Advance 3?
Sonic & Knuckles mode. Tails & Sonic mode. Knuckles & Tails mode.

>>379448216
Knuckles and Red Sonic

>>379448343
While the spritework was good and well-animated, I don't think it'd translate quite as well at 1080p compared to the Genesis sprites given how small the new graphics were for the GBA. It'd be cool, and a million times better than the N-Gage "port", but something about the idea of Advance 1 remastered feels off to me.

Maybe it's because despite having it as my first GBA game I can see that Dimps were already kinda bungling around with weird and awkward level design. Like Egg Rocket and its follow-up act.

>nostalgiafags fixated on one weak level

>>379442017
Real answer is that their hands wouldn't blend in with their bodies while being animated.

How the fuck do you still have it in you to get hyped for a Sonic game? You're so susceptible to even the slightest marketing, I swear.

I'm just happy that the 8 year old sonic fan inside of me, who I thought had died because of all this 3d sonic shit, gets to actually look forward to what seems to be a love letter to my days back in the early 90's I'm going to drive to ToysRus on Launch wherever one is and watch it on a demo tv there just like sonic 2 an 3 and knuckles, and go up and down the old isles and buy the game and leave. Maybe order some Crash Test Dummies off ebay and some fucking Space Police Legos

It's fan made and the quote is there just to reference that very box art. I don't know if the quote is from something though.

And Eggman has mechs and machines to traverse around and above and through them

>>379437665
Probably the worst ranking system in any sonic game. I hate playing generations, it feels like its always holding your hand and is very forgiving, it never wants to make an effort to challenge you. Maybe thats why its praised so much, any retard can pick it up and the game will shit out S ranks

>>379451253
I was referring to Adventure 1's Speed Highway and beyond.
And even then you had Star Light Zone as an explicit city alongside Spring Yard, and it's hard to really discount humans as a whole given that the "Mobius" thing was American-only and the minimalism they employed back then.

I prefer to think Adventure takes place in a parallel dimension or something. Because honestly, it's like an entirely new world with minimum regard to the classics at all.
And who's to say that there aren't more anthropomorphic animals in Sonic's world that built those cities?
Look at Little Planet, it's inhabited solely by tiny animals and they managed to build massive cities and structures all by themselves

I'm wondering what Mania's gonna end up doing with Stardust Speedway. Wonder if Past/Present/Future stuff is still gonna be happening.

>>379451876
The way I see it, the Sonic world is so abstract that every single individual island or landmass can have entirely different aesthetics, and potentially even rules of nature no song pun intended which is why we can jump from the pseudo-realism of Sonic Adventure 2 back into the abstractness of Heroes and right back to pseudo-realism for Shadow/'06. And Unleashed and beyond have intentionally been balancing the two (besides Lost World which went full abstract) to not make it clash so much.

>>379445225
Dude, Overture's entire point is to make a game based out of unused Sonic 1 content.

I'm hoping that either you can time travel within the acts, (at least on Little Planet's level (s)) or act 1 takes place in the past, then you move forward in time to the present for act 2, and the future takes place in act 3, and depending on your actions in the previous 2 acts, you get the good or bad future But I want the Good Future way more than the bad future if you only get one future to pick

If there's ever a Sonic Mania sequel, I wouldn't mind if they made 2D adaptations of 3D levels, instead of recreating Green Hill Zone for the nth time. I'd like to see what Pyramid Cave would look/sound like if it were made for the Saturn rather than the Dreamcast.

>>379452794
I want Sonic Mania 2 to be completely original levels.

File: HardBoiledHeaviesSilhouettes.jpg (149KB, 1920x1080px) Image search: [Google]

149KB, 1920x1080px

There's 5 hardboiled heavies in the silhouetted picture they shared. Since we've seen one of them in studiopolis and another teased in mirage saloon, it's safe to assume that they're going to be the bosses for the new zones. If each new zone has a hardboiled heavy, that makes for 5 new zones, or 6 if the final zone is original.

Since they've said that the ratio of zones is about 40% new and 60% old, that means there's 7 returning zones if there are 5 new ones, or 8 if there are 6 new ones.

That means we're looking at a total of either 12 or 14 zones.

>>379452794
I'm the one who made that idea when the game was first revealed

3D levels demade (remade?) into 2D levels with sprite graphics

Adventure: Emerald Coast (to start the game)
Adventure 2: Green Forest
Heroes: Mystic Mansion
06: Kingdom Valley
Unleashed: Holoska
Colors: Starlight Carnival
Lost World: Desert Ruins
Forces: Something from this

And then 5/6 new levels like Mania is doing. Mania 3 will be completely new and end the Mania series

I'm betting that, if it happens, it will be. (Also it won't be called Mania 2).
The reason there's so many classic levels in here to begin with is a mixed blessing.
-It's probably mandated by Sega/Sonic Team because "celebration of Sonic's history"
-They did an amazing job changing things up and adding new stuff that everyone either wanted to see or didn't know they wanted to see.
-The layouts are changed so much and the art is updated so much that it's pretty much an entirely new experience in those familiar levels
-The fact that they had to break down those classic levels and elements speaks very highly of their ability to capture Sonic's essence and variety.
-It also means they have tried and true formulas that they have extracted from classic levels, that they can apply to brand new ones.
-Those new levels won't suck or feel out of place with the classic series because they'll know just what to do and just what to change to keep things fresh and exciting

This game is literally made with love
