man E3 really exploded with news, hopefully this means we won't get any more updates until release. I want some shit to be a mystery and a surprise

Are there decent rips of the boss music yet? Sounds fucking rad.
Speaking of, I'm still upset there's no clean version of the mid-boss music, that beat is fucking sick.

SNES kid here. I never had the chance to play Sonic when I was a kid bc I had a SNES. I would really like to enjoy Sonic, but there are so many bad games in the market that I don't know which one to play. I have a N3DS, so which one do you recommend me to play? The best one.

I can see them revealing one more classic zone, most likely from standalone Sonic 3, but if not from that then it pretty much confirms that they're remaking one of the multiplayer stages from that game, which is why they wouldn't spoil it before launch: >>381342280

Short distance teleport/dash, think Hyper Sonic but without the screen clear. Something along those lines. Also make him slippier to control on account of the airshoes maybe incentivize staying on your feet over rolling. There's all kinds of directions you can go with it.

Yeah. It just sounds too tryhard. Mixing different songs into one trying to be pretentious. Would have been better if they just stuck to a faithful remaster. The music in general is disappointing.

>>381348043
The peelout is a retarded move because rolling exists. The idea of limiting your ability to attack is great and worked brilliantly for Amy in Advance.

>>381343053
No it isn't. It sounds like an amateur youtube remix by a retard 12 year old sonic fan.

>>381356983

Well the 1st two games had no save feature, so you had to play it through straight in one sitting, so it couldn't be THAT long.

I'm hoping that 'extra lives' are useful in Mania, perhaps for achievements and/or emerald hunting purposes. Like if you start a new game it creates a save file that gets deleted when you lose your last life, but still unlocks stages when you complete a zone. And if you are hunting for emeralds its harder to get them all if you start playing at later stages.

In America, which could easily be because it doesn't come with a physical copy and is pretty fucking expensive, which is why Amazon US are discounting it. In Europe the PS4 and Switch versions of the CE have been gone for a while now (more so the PS4 version because we only got the option for the Switch a few weeks ago). The Xbone one is still in stock though, because LOL nobody owns that paperweight.

Classic Sonic only really archived their intented greatness with the Whitehead remasters.

Either way Classic Sonic is overrated and new Sonic games are underrated.


No Sonic game reached a 9/10 but never went below a 6/10 (bar a few expections, but 06 is not part of that)

>>381363307
See >>381360430
and compare it to >>381360783

The latter is very amateurish and feels like they copy pasted Sonic's hod dog mouth-shape into Knuckles' making Knuckles look exactly like Sonic

The programmers Taxman and Stealth seem keen on keeping working however.

Except for, you know, everything else about his design.
It's not as if Sonic or Knuckles ever even had consistently shaped mouths or anything. It's not an aspect of their design, its just what facial expression they happen to have and/or who in particular is drawing them. Look at this art from Sonic 3 of Sonic for example, his mouth is small like Knuckles's.
Knuckles smiling slightly more than he might usually really doesn't make him look like Sonic, I don't know why you think it does.

The Game

If it's 50:50 classic reworks/ new stages, I'll be somewhat irked.

At least the existing levels have been re-edited and implemented with new mechanics, but still.

I hope it's about as long as S3&K.

I have a question to all Sonicfags: What is your favorite styles of music Sonic has gone through during the years? The series ranged from new jack swing, eurodance/house, techno, rave (all of these can fit into Sonic CD, and there is new jack swing in practically every classic Sonic game), hard rock, downtempo, drum and bass, "heavy" metal, whatever the fuck Toot Toot Sonic Warrior was, jazz, hip hop mixed with jazz, UK Garage, bossa nova, orchestra, synth-pop, R&B, jazz fusion, funk, big beat, etc.

Basically, everything popular in the 1990s to today was in Sonic music. My personal favorites are Eurodance, new jack swing, bossa nova, and rave.

>>381379247
Sonic CD music is god tier, I think that is the peak.

He's a crazy australian who managed to faithfully recreate the engine the old sonic games.

is the CD port missing from Android? I don't see it on the Playstore anymore

>>381387316
CD can also be played on Steam, PS3, or the 360. But it's the only one. Sonic 1 and 2 are mobile only, and 3&K have some legal issues regarding a few songs.

Also, Sonic 1 and CD got updated to be free, but can with ads. You can remove them if you want, for $1.99.

>>381387757
It got removed for some reason. Dunno why, but it's still on iOS.

>>381387648
>>381387760
How the hell is playing Sonic on mobile good? Do you have a peripheral or something because it seems like literally the worse game to play on mobile.

Imagine being this much of a nostalgiafag over SONIC

>>381387940
As far as touchshit goes, it's actually pretty good. But you can connect Bluetooth controllers if it bugs you.

>>381387940
The lack of a controller feels odd at first but once you get used to the touch controls it's not bad at all. If you're worried about the screen being too small and your fingers taking up too much of it you can also get it on tablets too if you have one or use an emulator. Bluetooth controllers work fine as well.

Anyone else that works taking August 15th off?

I know I'm doing a whole 90s marathon leading up to manias release.

>original has a track that sounds electric and artificial
That's what FM synthesis sounds like you turbo autist.

1 and 2 on steam fucking when

>>381387940
they have unironically the best touch controls i've seen

>>381345597
easily Advance 1, stage design feels right out of Sonic 2 for the most part (because the game is like 60% a re-imagining of S2)

Advance 2 has loads better graphics and sound, but it screws with handling a bit and has really jank stage design, Advance 3 has even weirder handling and although the stage design is more platforming heavy again, it's also full of retarded shit
Rush 1 is fun, but some stages kind of suck (mostly Mirage Road). Physics are awful, but who gives a fuck since the boost smooths over all of that. Soundtrack's brilliant.
Rush Adventure is better overall with cooler bosses and better stage design... but the sailing is fucking ass tacked on shit, fuck it. It's enough to make me not want to play the game again like at all.
I don't like Colors DS personally, but that might as well be Rush 3.
Generations 3DS fucking sucks, it's just boring and uninspired the whole way.

S4 episodes 1 and 2 both suck. Tried giving it a chance not too long ago -- imagine Sonic Rush's physics, but with no boost and slower
everything breaks down pretty bad
stage design sucks too, and the homing attack feels awful with the stupid bounce up after

>>381344187
12 would be great, 15 would be amazing. I expect 8.

>still no Spring Yard Zone remix

Just drop it already godammit.

>>381345597
Sonic 2 on Master System. Very different game from the Mega Drive one.

>>381345597
Probably Sonic Chaos. I remember Triple Trouble being good, but I don't even remember if I even played it. I remember being in a sub shooting things and that sure wasn't in Chaos.

In total? Then you're dead wrong.

>>381391508
You never mentioned it being official.

Can't wait to play some freakin' Chemical Plant Zone.

>>381390680
We're getting at least 5 new zones (see: Hard-Boiled Heavies) and we know there's supposedly more old zones than new. Not to mention Taxman has already said it's a bigger game than Generations (9 zones)

I know it's hip and cool to be cynical about new Sonic releases but you can cut it out now. The game is getting 10-12 stages minimum.

Why don't they just make a brand new water level? Hydrocity played and sounded good but the visuals were bland as shit.

the touch controls are decent
but it supports bluetooth controllers

shit, I was using a bluetooth keyboard on it for shits and giggles just now, works like a charm (1/2/3 are jump, arrowkeys move)

>>381387648
yeah, it's been down for ages for no apparent reason

>>381390231
still fucking mad that 2's port isn't on Steam

>>381363601
this
fuck, it's how 06 made all its money, despite being fucking terribad

>>381390680
With what >>381392160 said and taking into account >>381366147 , then using maths gives us 12-15 Zones total.

Sound good enough?
