Pick your levels you want remastered.
inb4 none, I want new levels.
Only way is to get Mania and let Sega give Whitehead full permission to go fucking insane in the sequel, and we're getting new levels, they're just not showing them because they don't want to spoil.
When your fans make a better game then you.Forces will outsell Mania tenfold because it caters to autism with the OC creator

HOW MANY DAYS
>>381267457
Iizuka recently stated customization is limited to make Modern Sonic outshine them. There's also a heavy use of 2D in the game for Modern and Buddy. Some people wanted playable friends back in an S3K style of playing similar to Sonic with their own quirks. It's gonna take more than a half-baked custom character to please our autism.

>>381267457
I like how the Forces board has so little going on with it, like they wanted to "make space for ALL THOSE AWARDS we're gonna get." The one that's actually up there was probably sympathy
>>381268426
It'll be just enough to get them to place there money down however, so it's worked.
>>381267989
That looks like the Sky Sanctuary from S&K/S3&K
>>381268652

And that's the problem, I say go big or go broke.
>>381269135
That is coming, after SA1/2 remakes. Entire leak thing, just wait until after forces.
What the fuck is in the hole.
>>381267312
Mystic Cave, Lava Reef, and Hydrocity are my top picks.

If you didn't learn your lesson with Sonic 4, then you deserve this fate.

Sounds promising, but I restrain myself and won't truly believe it until I see it with my own.

Much like Batman Arkham did to the fighting genre of open world, it inadvertently killed all momentum in video games
Sonic Unleashed did the same with inventing boosting gameplay, which DID work in unleashed and was fun, but should of stayed to that game alone, now it has plagued all new games, and held the series back.
I love how forces is basically JUST GIVE THEM EVERYTHING, ALL OLD BOSSES, OC CREATOR, what in the living fuck sega.

Gramps using hip and cool words like "salt" or "salty" to fit in. Look at him and laugh guys
>>381274845
For what it's worth, I agree with you. "Comfy" has become overused and has lost all sense of the original meaning. The only ones that use it are queers from tumblr and reddit trying to look "hip" to normalfags (who are already using dated terminology and memes), same as faggots like >>381274745 using "salt". That said, Pepe is in the dead meme boat just as those terms are.

All JP Bad Future songs are GOAT and better than any song from any other Sonic game.
>>381276804
>High-draw-city
glad I'm not the only one that pronounces it this way.
I know Hydro-city is the official pronunciation but this just rolls off the tongue better.
>>381279707
It's funny you say this, because the bad future variants are usually the worst ones for both OSTs.
>>381267216
I just hope this game outsells forceswhich it sadly won'tso we can get a sequel with entirely new stages and hopefully HD graphics
>>381279702
At that point everyone knew what was coming.
>>381280218
there is no way in hell this game will even come CLOSE to outselling forces, that is just delusion
infact, this game will probably undersell. I WISH it did, but I can just sense it, nobody will put there money where there mouth is when sonic does actually come back to 2d, same feeling with the crash hd remake.
>>381280089
What? In both cases, they're better than the good future songs.

It might seem a bit contrarian, but I kind of want to see what they would do with Oil Ocean Zone. It's hardly my favourite zone, but it's got one of the cooler concepts in the series.
It could feature a lot of elements from other stages (like the Nessies from Hill Top Zone or some segments from Lava Reef Zone) but could also introduce some cool original elements involving the oil, like setting it on fire or have it float on top of underwater segments.

wisps are a fine powerup gimmick. You could even say eggman captured entire stashes of them during colors and creates new ones as experiments. The problem is that they are now used as one off gimmicks that don't flow well with stages and interrupt the pace of the game like episode 2 Tails combos. Looking at you, Lost World.

anon, are you me?

>>381287964
I hope they do all of the special stages and randomize whether you get Sonic 1, 2, 3, S+K, or CD.
If I had to choose though, I'd take Sonic 2 special stage, the only time 3D Sonic was good.
>>381288521
Everything in this post is wrong. How do you do it, anon?
>>381288284
Sea Bottom Segue actually sounded like a song from Colors or something which was cool, while like every other song sounded like it came from Mario Galaxy.
>>381288626
I sit back and I think to myself, how could I most anger the aspies and I wait for inspiration to strike.
>>381288521
CLOSE. BUT NO CIGAR.
Sonic Mania's special stage will consist of an entirely different Sonic game of that era.
Jump into a ring, need to win a round of Sonic Fighters.
Jump into a ring, Sonic 3D Blast level.
Jump into a ring,Game turns into Sonic Adventure 3 teaser level.
Search your heart, apart from that last one, you know it'll be this.
MANIA.

Someone else said it. I really love the look of Oil Ocean, but the level design was meh.
Considering how the levels will be original for the most part and just using the theme of older ones, this would be a pretty great level to save.

I'm even imagining how they could expand on it visually, with interior sections and arctic or middle-eastern themes throughout c:
>>381290104

>>381290104
So either Sky Sanctuary but with lots of houses and tech, or a dirty mechanized city? And I guess that glacier place.
>>381287127

Why even care about this when you can play Freedom Planet right now?
Since we have Death Egg Robot as the first boss, what other retro bosses would you like to see as the bosses of the retro stages?
>Chemical Factory, Big Arm and one of his new attacks is to scoop up handfuls of Mega Mack and throw it
>Sonic 3's Zone, Egg Wyvern
>Flying Battery Zone, Egg Viper
>Stardust Speedway, race with Metal Sonic and when you win Metal Sonic falls off the stage like before but then suddenly rises again as Metal Sonic Kai and chases you like Great Eggman Robo in S3&K attacking with his arms and a giant laser in his chest

..... alright fine I'll preorder mania holy fucking shit that remix
>On 16 May 2012, Christian Whitehead revealed concept art of a additional boss round called Final Fever exclusively for his remastered version of Sonic CD. It was intended either when the player was about to unlock the good ending or had all the Time Stones. Whitehead had this to say about it:
>"[....] it’s colourful since it was intended to be an all Time Stones boss (good future only). Time flows freely, and Eggman’s machine is essentially invincible. The idea being Sonic can reach warp speed at any opportunity (instead of getting the warp posts) and must do so to “wind back the clock” to damage the boss. Some parts are running, some areas the screen is locked. I was slightly worried the idea of running to warp might not be self evident (no warp screen, the level and boss would change in real time with some neato effects)."
>For unknown reasons, the idea was scrapped, but he said that it could possibly be released as DLC.
Think we might see it in Mania as a Zone boss or the final boss?
>>381291127
The latter half of the Act 2 mix is fucking great.
There needs to be a boss fight with all the robot Sonics.
Like, more and better than what Lego Dimensions did.

Weir dhow nice and fluid the new backgrounds in GHZ and CPZ Act 2 are but Act 1 doesn't have a new parallax on the background buildings.
>>381292907
More old than new, but also that it's a big game. If we can assume the hard boiled heavies all belong to new zones then that means at least 6 remixed stages. Assuming if they don't double dip for each game. This is all absolute assumption though.

>>381293763
Sorry, goofed there, mainly because I couldn't think of any other pre-1999 bosses aside from Final Zone.
Here's a question. Sonic is an animal mascot who was designed to be cool to sell to western audiences. How did they do it without making a Poochie?
>>381293976
haha console wars!!
>>381269789
People are guessing Labyrinth zone to pull a Hydrocity as it was supposed to be the second stage of Sonic 1. It's just fanwanky enough to be something they would do. I don't think anyone wanted to see Labyrinth zone ever again though. Act 2 would have to steal heavily from Hydrocity and Tidal Tempest to make it interesting and unless they jazz up Act 1 it would be a snore. If any water staged deserved to be brought back, its Hydrocity or Aquatic Ruin.
I'm thinking it has some other gimmick though I'm also holding out for Mystic Cave.
>>381294160
It actually has pretty bad drops a couple of times in the video.
I'm so happy we're finally going to get a great Sonic game for the first time since the 90s. It makes me so fucking happy.
>>381294110
Because early designs were also made to pander the cute audience, which is more of a thing in Japan.
>>381294110
He was cute too. And he didn't talk. The things he did were cool, he didn't come off as trying to be cool himself.
>>381294110
His game was fun and something different to Mario as in it was a lot faster and physics based. They did play up the "he's cooler and has more attitude then Mario" though during the 90s, which at the time he was basically the first to really try and go toe-to-toe with him. Then all the Sonic-a-likes appears like Bubsy, Aero the Acrobat, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel and Awesome Possum.
>>381294160
>Playing Sonic mania on a console with no real DPAD on any of it's controllers

>>381294361
Mania's basically the 2D Saturn Sonic game that never happened but is now happening. I'm honestly still surprised it's happening.

I seriously hope you guys dont do this.
>>381294247
I just don't see how Labyrinth could work with the Sonic 2/3 spindash gameplay style
Labyrinth has always been a slow methodical zone and that was it's charm. It was supposed to be a nice change of pace but with the spindash that is just impossible.
This is why Labyrinth is one-of-a-kind level. It can only work in Sonic 1 where you don't have a spindash.
>>381294761
Well the portable aspect is appealing. Having Sonic Mania everywhere you go.
>>381294761
It's a sprite based game.
>>381294110
Because Sonic was designed to appeal to both eastern AND western audiences, and they did a damn good job at it.
>>381294761
lolol console warses!z!!
>>381294247
Hydrocity with elements from Labyrinth, Tidal Tempest and Aquatic Ruin would be best IMO.
>>381294986
Yet Sonic tanked on Japan. Fuck Japan and their shit taste.
I don't understand why Sega releases so much exclusive sonic merchandise and other shit in Japan too considering he's not popular there at all compared to the west.
>>381294923
>>381294853
>>381295050
You've had two generations of home consoles and handhelds from Nintendo to learn this lesson.
The Wii, WiiU, DS, and 3DS all only have the occasional oddball multiplat that's best played or even played equally, but it's almost exclusively inferior ports.
I LOVE those console. But you literally shouldn't go in expecting a single multiplat to be serviceable on Nintendo regardless of the fact that it should be all means be working. There's pretty much indies, lego games, Deus Ex, and Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed as far as the WiiU goes.
>>381295106
Hydrocity already had elements from Labyrinth
>>381292989
USB Genesis controller mate.
>>381295258

>>381295169
Have you seen western Sonic fans?
>>381295258
You're a fucking retard.
A 240p sprite game should not drop a single frame with the advanced tech we have nowadays. Heck it shouldn't even drop a single frame on a PS2 let alone in the Nintendo Switch.
>>381295357
Western sonic fans exist...jap ones barely do. Look at the sales... sonic consistently has abysmal sales in Japan since the beginning

What does this console war disease have to do with Sonic really?
>>381294110
The thing about Poochie characters is they usually intrude on someone else's territory. Sonic is good even when he's a dickass, because it's his shit, and any 2cool nonsense typically gets a pass for being the foundation of the series. Not some cringy side attraction added by execs to a dying franchise.
>>381295871
it follows us wherever we go, god damn it
>>381295410
>>381295348
I'm not saying that it makes sense that the hardware of the Switch can't run Sonic Mania. I'm saying that it makes sense form history that the port job would be so bad it'd somehow be unfunctional
>>381295892
not that anon
uhh, spoonfeed me please
what the fuck is a Poochie character?
>>381296054
It's a joke from the Simpsons. A new character called Poochie was added to Itchy and Scratchy who Homer voiced because the company though that the show wasn't "hip" and "cool with the kids" enough. It goes about as well as you think.
>>381296054
Remember Poochie from The Simpsons, the dog that was supposed to be a hip new character for Itchy & Scratchy and he was so cool and awesome and with it, and nobody liked him because he was only there because the executives wanted him and thought he was a good idea? That's a Poochie.
Another better example is Welsey Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
>>381295960
Honestly the console war shit got really bad in the past few years as a oldfag i'm getting really tired of this. I get that Sonic used to be a huge part of the 16-BIT Console war but i don't think this Mania has any connections, it's in all platforms and runs at most 1080p/60fps and the most difference you'd get is where you'd prefer to play it at. Personally i'm playing PC with a Saturn controller port, Fuck yeah.
sonic's arms are spaghetti
>>381296301
Wesley is the farthest thing from a better example.
Sonic was designed to be cool, hip, and awesome like Poochie was.
Wesley was not designed to be any of those things and ended up not being any of those things.
>>381296054
Its a Characters designed to be cool that totally isn't.

gotcha, thanks
Shadow the Hedgehog, the original Sonic poochie character.
however he was forced so hard on us that now people love him
>>381296403
PC with a Saturn USB controller sounds like the perfect way to play.
All I have is a Logitech F310.
>>381296518
Wait but Sonic is exactly a Poochie if thats the case.
I love Sonic. But Sonic has to be about one of the absolutely uncoolest things around
>>381296605
>however he was forced so hard on us that now people love him
Other way around. Shadow was so popular they couldn't AFFORD to kill him off.
>>381296605
I didn't hate Shadow in SA2
>>381296623
what are you talking about? Sonic CDs animations have sonic being the raddest shit ever, its as soon as adventure came around that made sonic cancer WOAH RADICAL BRO
>>381296518
Damn, what was that boardroom lady's name? She was like a lawyer sometimes do. She was hot.
>>381296623
See:>>381295892
Also, keep in mind, Sonic happened in the 90's. So he's not born out of out-of-touch execs, Sonic's 2cool attitude was precisely in style at the time.
>>381296742
Adventure was not the birth of Sonic's 'tude. Were you alive in the 90's?
>>381296403
Playing pc with a Saturn controller is edgetard, cringey and autistic simultaneously.

>>381297621
not until adventure, where he went full autism
see >>381298042
You should see some of the early ideas for Sonic that didn't make it. Try to imagine a bunch of Japanese people trying to come up with ideas for a cool character meant to appeal to Americans in the 90s.

I still find it mind boggling they ditched mobile platforms for Mania
sonic is lame
>>381298437
if sonic mania was released purely as a mobile app, it would of been the biggest selling game on mobile platforms, seeing how mobile gaming outsells console gaming by the millions
horrific feeling this game isn't going to do well, see the newest 2d megaman game sales
But what if unlockable metal sonic?
please?
>>381298571
okay, not biggest, that would mean it would have beaten pokemon go, which nothing will, but it would of been up there
>>381298571
It doesn't have to be pure mobile I mean include a mobile version as well like what they did with Sonic CD
>>381296623
If you exclude those cartoons. There is nothing lame about Sonic in the 90s.
Sonic can't be a Poochie if he's the main character you retard.

Sonic is the central character and was made first along with Eggman. It's impossible for him to be a Poochie. If Knuckles was the central character who came first then Sonic came along later then he could be considered a Poochie.

Shadow was never a bad character. He got his shit pushed in and he had reasons for doing what he did. They rounded him out a lot in SA2 and later installments.

I wonder what idiocy is going on there. Not that $45 isn't a bad price for a CE. Makes up for the lack of a physical option in there.
How many of us here didn't grow up with the originals? Just curious.
>>381300918
Seeing what /v/'s like these days, probably not too much.

It's alright. It's way better now that they fixed his gay ass wrist twirling from the earlier builds.
I'm honestly not a fan of his expressionless look in the majority of his animations. Knuckles had a kick ass smirk in S3&K that's completely gone in Mania. His glide animation is also inferior to S3&K.
I think they had an intern or amateur working on Knuckle's sprite or some shit.

>>381303591
Okay, so maybe 5 or 6. And it looks like they'll be the bosses for the new stages. If we use the 40% new stage thing, then that means roughly 12-15 levels total in the game.
Sounds lit.
