>Chemical Plant
>again

Not sure why people are hyped for levels that get so much play already.

Much more excited about Flying Battery.
>>
>>379513138
Meh, I would rather they choose less popular stages to see what they can do with them. Chemical Plant is already great, go with something that's just decent like Hill Top and try to make it great.
>>
Both versions of the song don't sound as good

>>379515375
Where's act 1?

I was hoping for Aquatic Ruins or Hidden Palace Zone
>>
>>379513138
Just confirm Sky Sanctuary already you fucks. Rehash the hell out of it. This game will be
>Green Hill
>Chemical Plant
>Flying Battery
>Stardust Speedway
>Studiopolis
>Mirage Saloon
>maybe one more new level

And that's it. You're a fool if you think there's gonna be any more levels.

>>
>>379516673
Thanks. That sounds fine, but I guess I liked that the original has more of a synth feel, beyond just being a Genesis tune. Notes were allowed to hang instead of all of them fluctuating up or down slightly, like in this vesion.

>each act has its musical theme.

Whaaaaaaaaat?
>>
>>379517063
-that being, I think I prefer their act 2 version over the act 1 version, since they did more of their own thing with it.

Also, in this footage, anyone else think it looks kind of jarring for Sonic to snap back and forth from the running animation to the top speed animation? Most actions in this game have smooth animations, but this is just snapping in and out of a different pose and it looks weird. I'm starting to think that animation was cut out of Sonic 2 for good reason.
>>
>>379517497
I'm used to it from CD so it doesn't bother me
>>
>>379516081
There's already a cathedral level that got leaked, the final zone will also likely be original, and there's still a Sonic 3 (won't be Sky Sanctuary, we already got Flying Battery for the S&K rep) level to be seen
>>
>>379517689
He doesn't go to that pose in Sonic CD when he reaches top speed, he only does it for his super peel out. So there's no switching around for different speeds, it's pretty consistent.
>>
>>379517265
Just like Sonic 3.

>>
>>379518068
Oh yeah you're right.

I guess I was surprised to hear this in a Sonic 2 level.

It's such a shame Sonic 4 exists, mania could have been it and surpass its predecessors.
>>
>>379517805
Sonic will do the peel-out animation when he goes fast enough, although usually that's when you get launched by a spring or something since there's not a lot of speed sections in CD like there are in 2.
>>
>>379518338
Only if you get speed shoes.
>>
HOLY SHIT CHEMICA-

Oh.

They ruined the music. That sounds fucking awful.
>>
>>379518496
There's a vanilla remix in act 1 if act 2 doesn't do it for you
>>379516673
>>
>>379518415
I just tried it out in stardust speedway, you'll get the peel-out animation even when you don't have the shoes
This could just be a thing for the taxman port though
>>
>>379518574

Don't care, it's not like I can just skip act 2.

I'll still have to hear that awful trash nonsense eventually.

Holy shit that sounded so bad.

>>379519164
Since the classic stages seem to have Eggman bosses where the new stages have the Hardboiled Heavies, there's gonna be 5 new stages to match the 5 heavies. Maybe 6 new stages if the final level is an original zone.
It's not a ton, but that's about Sonic 3 sized.
>>
>>379519164
Taxman's already said that there will be around 5 or 6 original levels with the majority being remixes of old Zones. It's not as bad as you think. Besides, >>379519287 is most likely correct. Sega/Sonic Team are just employing what I like to call "insurance nostalgia" for this game. There's absolutely no reason why they wouldn't give Taxman and friends more freedom for a sequel if it sells well enough.

The Act 2 of the returning zones we've seen so far have been original enough that I'm considering them basically new levels. They even have gimmicks totally new to the series, art assets, and music, so I'm cool with them. Flying Battery Act 1 and Chemical Plant Act 1 have been boring retreads so far though.

the whole point is that they're showing the old zones we know, remastered versions and music, and trying there hardest not to spoil all the NEW zones so we don't go into the game knowing everything, that is the entire whole fun side of this experience

knowing there is BRAND new sonic levels to explore and find, and hear there music

Quartz Quadrant is still a way better level than Stardust Speedway. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that I think QQ would benefit more from being remixed due to its level style, creativity, looks, etc. Also the music

>>379525484
Yeah I'm surprised conveyor belts haven't really been done in classic sonic outside of QQ, you would think they'd bring those back

This sounds about right to me. As a side note, Hydrocity for the Sonic 3 zone makes the most sense to me - it's one of the only Sonic 3 zones which doesn't have any legal issues surrounding its music, not to mention the best water zone in all of Sonic (or even all of platforming). Not to mention the fact that they've turned the water in Chemical Plant 2 into bouncy jelly, as if they wanted to save the watery trope for elsewhere.

They didn't rule out animation in general though, so there could still be a sick intro
>>
>b-b-but it was already in Generations!
I don't know why this is an argument, Generations was shit. This is the real deal. Comparing them seems stupid to me. Besides, if we play the "X already did it" card then Sonic 2 would be pretty stripped of good choices (Aquatic Ruin, Wing Fortress, Metropolis and many more were already done by games like Sonic 4)

Also that CPZ act 2 looks like the tits, some people are just never happy

>>379531018
We've known since day 1 that the majority of the game would be returning zones dude

>>379530478

You're getting Flying Battery and Stardust Speedway, and most likely some other zones that weren't in Generations. Who knows, maybe even that shitty Hill Top Zone will appear. But making a big deal out of a really popular zone like Chemical Plant returning is ridiculous. Of course it's going to show up, that much was a given.
>>

I think the people bitching about this are those who decided from the very beginning that Mania would be shit. I just can't fathom someone dropping the entire game because of one fucking zone, no one can be that autistic.

i have to remind people, these guys are just having to follow the demands of SoJ. I am certain when these guys take game of the year sega will let them do there own thing with sonic.

Please answer me this.
Why the fuck is anyone asking for the worse Sonic 2 level to return in Mania? Trash Ocean is fucking garbage.

And why ask for Aquatic Ruin when Hydrocity is the only good water level in any game ever? At of all the levels in Sonic 2 that are worth mentioning, Chemical Plant, Casino Night and Mystic Cave are the only levels that are actually good to have. Don't bitch that SEGA did it first, they added that level because fans asked for Emerald Hill when Green Hill was already highly requested. It's the second liked Sonic 2 stage, it's no surprise it will get shilled.

And I don't give a shit about Gens doing it, Mania's Act 2 100% kicks the shit out of Gens version so I'm complaint free here.

>We've known since day 1 that the majority of the game would be returning zones
How are you people still not getting it through your head that it's not the returning zone thing people are mad about right now, but the zone choice they made? Yeah, everyone knew that returning zones were in the game but we at least hoped they would pick ones that weren't in Generations (aside from Green Hill but you can just excuse Green Hill as obligatory at this point.) But now, NOPE, guess not. Guess it doesn't matter if the zone already had a spotlight, it gets to hog it again just because it's the popular one.

Do you understand now why people are disappointed today? NO ONE complained when Flying Battery was revealed because it hasn't been in the spotlight yet. GET IT RETARDS?

Because the levels, especially for Act Two, are being remixed like crazy. It's mostly just aesthetics and the song. They could put in Marble Zone and it'd be god tier in Mania by virtue of being better in every way compared to when it first showed up in Sonic 1.

What you're not getting is that Chemical Plant IS obligatory. So it can of course be excused.

I don't know what all you faggots are salty about, we can have Chemical Plant AND whatever janky hipster choice you want from Sonic 2. If we're getting at least 5 new zones then that means we're getting more than 5 old zones - which means at least one of the classics is getting more than just a single stage. I'd be willing to bet money that Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 are each getting 2 zones instead of 1.

That is, unless they throw a complete curveball and end up giving stage reps to games like Chaotix - which I certainly wouldn't complain about.

>>379535713
I never said Chaotix wasn't hipster. My point was that we're either getting more than 1 zone from certain games, which should keep you complainers happy, or we're getting non-traditional picks like Chaotix, which should also keep the "it was already in Generations" crowd happy.

My point still stands. Faggots are blowing this shit up over nothing.

This is what I've been thinking for the past month or so, it'd make a lot of sense since Mania is to be a big game as said by Taxman and we'll probably get more than 5 new zones, even if there are only 5 Hardboiled Heavies, we'll at least get 6 for a final level so the 60%-40% ratio will hold up relatively well.
>>
>>379535876
Genuinely curious, why are you okay with zones that were already in Generations? If you were a real Sonic fan, wouldn't you like to see other zones get some love too?
>>379535983
We've seen six zones officially and one zone in a blurry screenshot but was still purposefully revealed. That's most likely more than half the game buddy. They're revealing a lot.
>>
>>379535876
Non-traditional picks like Chaotix or Classic Sonic remakes of 3D games are incredibly unrealistic.
>>
>>379513138
I'm really not feeling the new music at all. Chemical Plant Zone is one of my favorite tracks out of the classic Sonic games, and this new version just doesn't have the same feel to it at all.
>>
>>379535897
We knew about ALL of Generations' zones before the game came out, there's still quite a bit of stuff from Mania that we don't know about.
>>
>>379535983
Probably not for all of them, but I'd say it's possible. If there really are 5 new zones to correspond with the 5 heavy gunners, that means there's 7 old zones for a 40:60 split, and I could see Sonic 1 and 2 being thrown an extra bone.
>>
>>379513138
i'm not exactly happy about this zone choice, but i'm really digging the act 2 music, maybe exactly because it has a bit different vibe to it than everything we've heard before
the new zone elements look neat too
>>
>>379536194

I'm pretty sure 6-5 is the more likely ratio

That way they can go

That way they can do a simple 'classic-new-classic' leverl layout and end with a Doomsday-esq final zone
>>
>>379535941
Nah, Generations was great
>>
>>379536143
>Genuinely curious, why are you okay with zones that were already in Generations? If you were a real Sonic fan, wouldn't you like to see other zones get some love too?
Because I like boost formula but not Generations's version of classic Sonic, so in my eyes the fact that a shitty version of Chemical Plant was in Gens doesn't really take away from the awesome Act 2 we've seen in Mania.

Besides which, it's exactly like I said. I firmly believe Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 are getting a second "slot" each so to speak, so I'm not particularly salty about Chemical Plant's return.
>>
To be fair, if I had to pick two stages from Sonic 2 to include, Chemical Plant would be one of them. The other would be Hill Top

So if there ends up being two Sonic 2 stages then I'm fine with Chemical Plant

Yes, good ones. Again, only 3 from Sonic 2 are worthy of thought and out of all of them, Mystic Cave was the only one that hasn't been (officially) recreated from the original.

You want Oil Ocean? Sonic 4 did it already, but it's not ok that Gens did Chemical Plant too apparently. Metropolis ? Sonic 4 did it too, Mania shouldn't do that because it's been done before, right?

I'm not that other guy, but Mania has shown to remix stages so eloquently, I'd be a cunt to bitch about "used contents" when at least when I'm playing a classic stage, I can play it LIKE an actual classic Sonic game instead of the trash that was Sonic 4 and the poor attempt Gens did. I'd rather have Mystic Cave from 2, but hey, at least the second act of CP has raised my spirits on that stage being chosen over it.
>>
>>379536729
Mystic Cave and Oil Ocean, but only is OO gets a bit of an overhaul in pacing. I'm a sucker for that burning sun anon, and I'd love the level itself to have a unique sonic/tails/knuckles sprite that's a bit more yellowed/wavy to show the extreme heat.
>>
>>379536897
That just makes it even more disappointing they didn't pick Mystic Cave if the choice was that obvious.
>>
>>379536729

Exactly. There was no reason not to expect Chemical Plant to show up. Sonic 1-3, CD, and Knuckles are getting zones, so of course the most popular ones from each game will show up. It's like expecting not to see Stardust Speedway, Flying Battery, etc. Anyone thinking it wouldn't appear just because it was in Generations was deluding themselves.
>>
I don't understand the love for Mystic Cave

Don't get me wrong, it has one of my favorite tracks in the game, bu I've never found the stage itself very fun to play. There's a ton of momentum killing obstacles that I never felt flowed very well, like the rotating boxes, having to grab on to vines, the weird spiked platforms with rotating spike ball thing at the top, the cat paws etc

No, fuck that. Some stages are better than others and deserve remaking more. Chemical Plant deserves the Taxman treatment. Maybe Mystic Cave does too, who am I to say? The point is, zones showing up in shitty games like Sonic 4 shouldn't be a detractor for them showing up in Mania.

That's the general idea. You pick up more momentum and kill most enemies while rolled up

The issue is that you have less control, so in order to speed run or even stay on the upper paths you need to know when to roll vs when to have more precise movement
>>
>>379539173
You have less control of aerial momentum if you jump out of a ball as opposed to jumping out of a run. Also rolling when there's an uphill coming isn't going to do you any favors.

You ARE right in that the original games are basically roll2win, but there are still different situations for giving preferential treatment to a good old run

oh boy, we are halfway to the Sonic cycle. I bet the next trailer will reveal an entirely new playable character introduced for the game.

And, they are making Chemical Plant built like the most boring Sonic CD level possible. Which sucks because that zone was known for being a high speed straightforward zone, not a slower paced bouncy bouncy slow platforming zone (you had to jump around on platforms maybe twice, and you had to bust open the tubes, and that was it).

Physics were not as awful as you seem to press on about. Also i'm glad to know that physics makes everything else about a game, like the general and stage design, the content, the gameplay mechanics, music, and everything else irrelevant.

They were. Physics are the CORE FOUNDATION of stage design and gameplay mechanics. Everything else is pure frosting.

Chemical Plant sucks, it's only fun with Knuckles
>>
>>379543909
The problem seems to be they extended the wall of machinery from the bottom of the stage to cover up the stage being "taller" but it just looks kind of ugly.

Chemical Plants foreground wasn't the nicest part of Sonic 2 either.

You're right, but what measure are the physics awful? Compared to some of the classics? Yeah, but it's a different type of game really, even with nostalgic pandering. Would you say Mega Man physics are awful? Kirby physics? They're not as involved in that stuff as Sonic but no one is calling them on that shit.

Access the stage select by pressing S E G A during the Sega screen, if you did it correctly you should hear the ring sound. After that use two fingers to touch the title screen, and there you go. In the stage select you set up a variety of neat stuff like turning the speed cap on/off, activate the Insta-shield, set the amount of Special Stages, or activate the elemental shields.

Generations' classic chemical plant has fantastic level design. They really did well there. The modern level certainly isn't as complex and has too much of a 2D focus, but still works very well as a second zone. Top-notch presentation, too.

Honestly though, I wish ALL of the modern generations levels were as sprawling and varied as Seaside Hill. Many work fine as they are, but imagine a Green Hill that approaches its complexity.

It being in Generations is inherently big enough of a reason on its own. Like Mania, Generations makes a point to explicitly bring back classic levels.

So far in addition to the new zones have:

Green Hill (Sonic 1)
Stardust Speedway (Sonic CD)
Chemical Plant (Sonic 2)
Flying Battery (S&K)

It'll be Icecap

It's not over until Aquatic Ruin gets in. Chemical Plant is the "industrial" zone, which is why it has Wacky Workbench-style bouncy floors as a gimmick, because Wacky Workbench was the industrial zone of CD and they fused them together.

I would recommend it. It's definitely a different experience from the main 3, but I'd say at least worth a playthrough to form an opinion of it. Soundtrack's fucking amazing, though.

>>
So basically, this thread is just autismos complaining that their favorite stage from X game didn't get in. See, this is why we can't have nice things. We've most likely only seen like 55% of the game at this point, and everyone is already losing their shit?

The whole concept of reusing old stages was already disappointing, but the fact that they at least have the chance to turn them into considerably new concepts makes up for a lot. They've already rehashed almost every fucking stage from all of the games at this point, and the proper mechanics and level retooling here already makes it leagues better than any other rehash of the stages Sega's shat out at this point. Tax and co. probably have minimal control over what stages they can actually take advantage of, since Sega wasn't to pull the nostalgia strings s'more. That's probably why the team is trying to carefully work in all of this stuff from other stages into the levels to satisfy folks. Cause they're trying to prove a point. The levels themselves were fun, and the aesthetics aren't going to affect that. We may not like it, but they have to jump through hoops to prove a point to Sega, and you guys are proving Sega right. Do you faggots really want to prove SEGA right?

I just hope it does well enough for Taxman to actually make a sequel that's all original zones. But like you said, the levels are gonna be different enough that even though they're the same zones from other games, they're still basically different.

Yes

Kickstarter and a bunch of old projects showed that its just a handful of obese virgins stuck in the past crying for things to be like the 90s forever and when it came out, it bombed. Sonic retro and 4chan shouldnt be your only litmus test

The old zones may as well be totally new, they're heavily remixed with just parts of them being from the original.
>>
>>379559864
Well, at least Act 2 is. The Act 1 we've seen so far have primarily been amalgamations of previous Sonic levels, where the real meaty and new stuff is in the second act.

too bad so much of this game is just a remix
>>
>>379560924
Sega has tried this shit before, and it's only gotten them more negative reception and derision from both the fans and the community at large. So they don't really see Mania as a worthwhile attempt at bringing Sonic as a whole back. They think, like Modern Sonic, that the classics are handicapped games that rely on the crutch of nostalgia to be successful, which is why they always rehash the more popular shit from the classics.

Mania sets to prove that's not that case, and that even with rehashes as tired as Green Hill, it's the game people want.

So if all everyone ever focuses on is, "What stages are they gonna use!?!", does that not prove Sega's point? That it's not about the mechanics, the gameplay, or the design that people appreciate, but just what stage they pick to tickle people's nostalgia boner? Shouldn't what new ideas they bring to the table out-weight the old if it's of a reasonable quality?

Alright, so this is definitely Sonic Generations 2 with some bonus zones.
I'm sure it'll still be good but I wish Sega had made this more clear from the beginning.
>>
>>379562235
It was clear from the first trailer, it straight up says "Re-imagined Classics" and "New Zones" in the first trailer. The only thing we didn't know for the longest time was the ratio between the new & the old and we now know it's 60% old and 40% new.
>>
>>379562438
>The only thing we didn't know for the longest time was the ratio between the new & the old
Yes, what exactly did you think I was referring to?

They said "re-imagined" classics not "The same zones from Generations but using the original graphics".

They said that in the trailer and then showed Green Hill right after, you should've realized that right away. Also Flying Battery wasn't in Generations.

Exactly. That's why no one was mad when Flying Battery was announced. They should have stuck to zones that haven't gotten a chance in the spotlight, it would have at least made up for not having a 100% original Taxman game. Having zones that were already in Generations just leaves a sour taste in my mouth no matter how better they make them, I'm sorry.

Huh. They increased Sonic's speed cap when running. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I don't remember Gens having Act 2 Zones for Classic Sonic

And you people are just over bitching, Classic Sonic only have 3 Classic stages from Genesis era (4 if you count the CD Boss). Ok. 2 of them are what you're seeing "again" in Mania. With ~3 more classic stages never seen remade before. Add ~4 new stages never seen before? And again, every Act 2 of each returning zone was never seen before, so even more NEW shit? And we're bitching.

I'm convinced you're all just spoiled brats who doesn't deserve anything. While the fans that wanted something that would have NEVER thought to actually happen from SEGA after the shitshow that is 3D Sonic, you retards come in sounding entitled to something you SHOULDN'T"T have expected to even exist from current day SEGA.

It's not like I don't understand how you feel but it still looks like fun. They've added multiple new mechanics in Act.2 so far with the whole bouncing gel, sticking on walls, you controlling how far it bounces you with the injection pen and the chemical transporter of sorts, it also has those tubes where you control where you go taken from Metallic Madness Act.2. It has a lot going on it basically and we still haven't even seen the bosses in it, I'm not worried at all, new aesthetics are important in a game but it's not everything, if the gameplay offers something new and it's fun then I'm fine with it. I still wanted Aquatic Ruin or Mystic Cave Zone.

>>379513138
This seems too much like Sonic CD. Open areas where you can get lost/sidetracked easily and having to jump around to get to an area. It's fine if you do it right but it takes way too much time and space. This is probably why they're taking so long with the game.
>>
>>379565678
It doesn't seem as bad. There's a lot of paths but unlike CD, it seems like they all siphon you towards the goal instead of sending you everywhere and making you lost.
>>
>>379564589
Really? I have yet to see anyone complain about Mario always taking place in the same exact worlds that all just sort of look like updated versions of previous stages. But Mario doesn't really have as much of an artistic focus as Sonic does. It just has levels cause it can really.
>>
>>379558586
Rosterfags are always the worst, even if it isn't bitching about a roster of characters.

I'm just afraid of the other levels resulting to this. I've wanted an HD port of Sonic 3&K for the longest time and this is the closest to the two games we're going to get.

People talk about mania sure, but everywhere I go there is FAR more discussion about Forces. Before they confirmed the OC Mania had a higher buzz, but now that its confirmed to be a feature, the majority of people out there are more excited for Forces than Mania.

The level design looks like S3&K to me, they're a little opened for exploration but still have a clear path you can take. The closest thing that looks like Sonic CD are those tubes where you choose your destination but that's because they're actually from Sonic CD.

>>379565883
I don't know how you miss out on that shit, people shit on the NSMB games & 3D Land due to it and have bitched how it's effected the other series like Paper Mario (mostly Sticker Shit) and Mario & Luigi series (just Paper Jam). Also images like this exist after all.

I'm not a fan of levels that force you to go backwards to move forward. The good thing about Sonic 3 was besides Marble Garden I never felt like I was going backwards even when the game forces you to go left.

People have been joking (well, I hope it's a joke, I swear some people act serious about it) that Odyssey is basically Sonic '06 since New Donk City is a City area which a lot believe to be the main hub (though there's no proof of that) with realistic humans in the area. Also Mario rolls like Sonic once in the main trailer as an ability, it's all a fucking stretch but whatever, don't pay it much attention.

I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to pre-order. I haven't been this hyped for a game since Mario Maker. It's literally the only game coming out this year I'm looking forward to.

It's even better than that. They're allowed to make brand new levels but some have to rely on old theming. But they have unique layouts and even new level gimmicks.
It's really just the graphics and music that's recycled.

SoJ deliberately fucked the game to prove some sick point that only SoJ can make a Good sonic game(even though that is fucking false)

How ever Pagoda West (sonic mania) are smart and wise and have been through the wringer before they know how to not lose and have clawed form the bottom to where they are now.
