What is your guys opinion on Sonic CD? I just got it on Steam and its the first time playing it.

The fans generally put CD chronologically in between 1 and 2, right?
>>
>>384089626
Just cause Tails wasn't there in the original release and the Death Egg saga seems to be one, continuous story

I had my fun, but the level design is counter-intuitive to going fast so going back to the Past is an utter chore. Also the Special Stage controls are a little wonky

Do you think they'll give Knuckles a good reason to be a part of this game, or do they not care about his story in S3K?
>>
>>384092527
It's genuinely better not to care at this point. Trying to force the Master Emerald in every plot just got more and more obtuse as the series progressed

Heroes proves you can just have Knuckles be a good friend of Sonic

Tails actually shows up in the bonus images you can unlock in the game so it really could take place anywhere (Though general consensus is before 2 because that's when it was in development)

Shame they never really had another "Saga" after the Death egg, though really saying that's a mute point considering 3 and Cd are the only games with a an actual story. Eh maybe Mania will do something since 9/10 chances it involves either Time Travel or Eggman revisiting his old haunts for no reason.

FIVE REASONS YOU'RE AUTISTIC:

1. YOU LIKE SONIC.
2. YOU LIKE SONIC ENOUGH TO MAKE SONIC THREADS ON /v/.
3. YOU'VE MASTURBATED TO SONIC PORN.
4. YOU KNOW EVERY SONIC CHARACTER.
5. ALL OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE, AND YOU'RE A FUCKING ADULT.
>>
Okay, what if Sonic Mania turns out to be shit, but Sonic Forces actually turns out to be great?
>>
>>384088005
I don't hate it like everyone else seems to. Mania existing definitely helps get rid of a lot of the sting from that game. It doesn't play like classic Sonic (rolling is a detriment rather than beneficial, homing attacks are used to maintain momentum) and it never should have been called Sonic 4, but the levels were mostly well designed and it played decent overall. It sucks episode 1 rehashed so much from the older games, and episode 2s music is awful. But it was better than most of the handheld games that people seem to give a pass.
>>
>>384092992

Then Sega might still be making consoles.
>>
>>384092928
They don't have to abandon the premise of his character to include him, and they don't have to shoehorn in the Master Emerald either. There has to be something they can do to free Knuckles from Angel Island without getting as retarded as Adventure.
>>
>>384093383
Not possible but even if it did happen we'd still end up with one great Sonic and one bad one, just like now.

>>
>>384090938
Machines are more fun though.
>>
>>384089626
The level design is iffy and the boss battles leave a lot to be desired. It's better than Sonic 1.

>>384087936
Well I dunno about 5, but I got the only 3 you'll ever need:

Reasons to like sonic:
> He can really move
> He's got an attitude!
> He's the fastest thing ali-i-ive!

>>384093318
Why does it seem like someone who qualifies for just number 3 is better adjusted than someone who qualifies for 1 2 and 4

Level design is still obnoxious and cluttered as fuck, regardless of the floor

Those electric wires are eons worse and the bounce floor sends you straight into them. Getting enough speed to go to the past is a nightmare
>>

The second worst 2D sonic. Its lucky sonic 1 is as shitty as it is. A popping art style and soundtrack can't save it. Stardust speed way and quartz quadrant are pretty fucking good levels though, wont lie

Fuck no it isn't. It's weaker in nearly every aspect. Significantly worse level designs and bosses, worse music, worse special stages, hell even the title screen was worse. CD looks a little better and that's it.

I shouldn't be surprised that someone here would know what I'm talking about but that's pretty cool.

I have a question for you. What are your thoughts about GT? I only ever saw it in Japanese subbed way before US release and my friend only started me off from somewhere between episode 20-30 because the ones before were shit according to him and it was great. I also played a bootleg Final Bout and before then and marveled at all the new characters I didn't know existed.

Basically I remember everyone thinking it was cool back then and I'm wondering if I'm misremembering or it had to do with everyone watching the dub on top of it not being made by Toriyama.
>>
>>384103563
Not him but I exclusively read the manga, even before the anime was adopted. I thought the story got really stupid around volume 37, which is when the Buu saga started. When I finally watched GT it didn't seem significantly dumber than that.

>>384103563
i only watched the shadow dragon saga when i was a kid, episode 48, i think?, onward, and even then i had like 3 or 4 VHSes with only a couple episodes apiece so there was a gap or two in the saga

i've actually never watched it all the way through, got to the beginning of the baby saga i think last time i tried watching it and stopped because it's FUCKING BORING

the sub's pretty alright and the soundtrack's phenomenal, funimation dubbing it fucking ruined the soundtrack. pretty sure either kissanime or masteranime has the dubbed voices with the JP soundtrack, check it out if you get the chance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHLZL_-q3LU

this should jog your memory.

uhhhhh the only real selling points for dbgt for me are that the black star dragon ball saga (first one) feels a lot like original dragon ball as opposed to z, since they're having stupid adventures all over the universe instead of powering up constantly or whatever. also, ssj4 is cool as fuck and the stupid transformations super has don't hold a candle to it design-wise. literal recolors.

tl;dr: it's okay, worth a watch, especially to compare it to the dumpster fire that is super. stands up to db/z? not really, but it holds its own as a successor.
>>
>>384103818

hmm seem to share my thoughts mostly and yea, the fucking music, dan dan kokoro is a treasure but i actually ended up loving the sub overall including goku, i think even the sound effects were better

>>384088908
I bet the last level will be an amalgamation of all the classic end games

Nothing else makes as much sense
>>
>>384104129
But I should say I only watched it waaay back then and never again so I don't know what I'll think today but I remember really enjoying Super 17, especially Baby, and Shenrons were cool but mostly SS4 and Gogeta.

Also agree that the designs are way better than Super which are pretty terrible for the most part.

That's my prediction for the other Sonic 1 zone if there is one. I don't buy the Labyrinth theory and it would be a poor choice when better water levels like Hydrocity exist.
Nobody wants Marble, Spring Yard has too many of its features in other zones, and Starlight seems unlikely with Stardust Speedway being in already.

>Your favorite classic zone

Hydrocity. It has everything, six alternate paths, fantastic setting and graphics, amazing music and is just extremely memorably all around. When I think Sonic, I think of falling down a waterfall, getting sucked into a tube and then running on the surface of the water.

>Your least favorite classic zone

Flying Battery. Literally hold right - the stage, with a few harmless obstacles to break up the pacing. It's like the Fortress zone for retarded babbies. The real issue is that 90% the zones only has one path that leads straight through it. It got old the first time around and its return in Mania is the sole reason I won't be buying it.

>Favorite boss fight in classic games

Used to be Casino night zone because it looked flashy but come on, it's Big Arms. I remember renting Sonic 3, 10 minutes before we went back to the store while on my last life with no rings and beating what I assumed was final boss. Suddenly the sky goes dark and Big Arms comes out of nowhere, grabs me and I'm like "maybe I'm safe?" before slamming my brains out against the ground.

>Favorite song from classic games

Desert Palace - Sonic 3

Sonic. Everyone else breaks the game.

JP for Quartz Zone. They're both pretty underwhelming.

It would take away dev time on the actual game to make another demo build and also they don't want it dataminded. We don't have too much longer to wait so just hang tight.

IIRC, demos do not help sales and take away dev time.

The state of the comics aside, 2017 looks like a great year for Sonic. The Boom TV show is still fun, two major games on the way (& both are looking good so far) & the fan community has gotten so far that there's now a fucking dev kit allowing fans to make our own Sonic level.

Feels good, man.
>>
>>384107331

I just learned of this games existence last month.
>>
>>384107331
God I can't believe it was originally revealed in fucking July last year, what I remember originally with a March release date till it was pushed back to "Spring" then finally August 15. It's sure been a ride for Tax, Stealth and the boys.

I feel the opposite, I think the fanbase is dying and being replaced by newfags such as yourself. I watched some Boom and I was not impressed.
>>
>>384107708
I still like how you're using fangame as an insult at this point.
>>
>>384103924
Death Egg (S&K) is my favorite. Nice amount of obstacles and good variety, plus killer music.

Least favorite is Wacky Workbench. It's just a poorly designed clusterfuck.

Favorite classic boss is Big Arms. Decent challenge, cool design, and awesome music.

Favorite character to play is Sonic. Flying and gliding/climbing are fun diversions but I prefer just having the core moveset.

JP soundtrack is better for most tracks. There were one or two that the US one did better but I forgot their names. Aldo Gens 3D Blast OST is better than Saturn's.
>>
>>384107637
My biggest hope for Mania, is that it leads to SEGA working with fans even more in future games.

I'm fine with that. The game isn't out for another month & they've released more than enough stuff since its initial reveal.

I was with Sonic from the beginning and left after Adventure 2 and looked with disdain from afar. Mania got me back into it.

Honestly Adventure 2 wasn't a perfect game, but it kinda was a decent stopping point. Heroes had a lot of flaws, Shadow & 06 were trainwrecks. But from, I don't know Colors onwards, things have been pretty fine.
>>
>>384107845

>>384108036
Poor guy. Battle got me back into Sonic for like 5 seconds, I remember it was unfairly treated by fans for being one of the first Nintendo exclusives. It's alright.
>>
>>384108050
I barely remember A2 and I was looking forward to Heroes, I didn't stop because it was no longer fun, it just happened and then I started seeing how weird the fan base got and the human hedgehog relationship made me think it went full meme.

I never stopped loving old school Sonic and have been meaning to fuck with Generations and trying the ones I missed.
>>
>>384107805
Fuck forgot favorite song. Sky Sanctuary for sure.

>>384107946
It's a great level. I love the gravity flipping parts of act 2.

>>384107965
Dreamcast didn't last long but it had and incredible lineup regardless. I feel bad for anyone who didn't own one.
>>
>>384108193
Well after SA2, you only missed about 2-3 3D games that are actually worth playing. Colors, Generations & Unleashed are something you should give a shot, along with the 2D handheld games like the Rush & Advance games.
>>
>>384108290
Why does everyone hate Secret Rings? It's probably better than Unleashed and a solid game overall.
>>
>>384107708
>a fucking fangame

As opposed to a not-fan game, made by people that don't give a shit about sonic
>>
I can't recall, if I want to get to Doomsday Zone in 3K do I need all the chaos emeralds before getting to the S&K portion or do I have the entire game to do it? Cause I distinctly remember playing this when I was younger and losing the ability to go Super Sonic when I hit Mushroom Hill Zone.
>>
>>384108347
I've never played Secret Rings, so I can't tell ya.
>>
>>384108347
Secret Rings is fucking terrible. Controls like shit, music's awful, the way the mission system works is bad, bosses are crap.
At least Black Knight took it from bad to mediocre.
>>
>>384108290
I bought the entire Sonic collection on Steam several months ago, too bad it doesn't have Unleashed. Played some of the racing game and am at 125 emblems on Adventure 1. Gonna replay SA2 soon.
>>
>>384108512
Its been a while, but I think you can still get the chaos emeralds in the S&K half. Super emeralds don't happen until you enter a ring with all chaos emeralds.
>>
>>384107946
I feel like Death Egg is like Castlevania in that it can appear in different forms throughout the Sonic games and still carry along alot of the gimmicks of the first DE (Space Colony Ark, the final Zone in Sonic Advance 2, Dead Line etc). There's no need to re-use the actual Zone.
>>
>>384108637
Controls are fine, especially once you upgrade Sonic's abilities. Black Knight is the terrible one. That's barely a step above Boom tier.
>>
>>384108347
It controls awkward as fuck and the idea to level up for better controls was not well thought out. The aesthetics (music, art, etc) were nice though at the time and it was pretty original for the concept. Also one legitimate thing it did which I will always give it props for, was introducing the lock on reticule for the Homing Attack, as it was the first 3D Sonic to do that, which was a smart decision in general and something they did keep for future games. Black Knight was a step up in comparison.
>>
>>384108379
This is something you will never understand, but I played the Genesis games on release. The notion that I 25 years later would be getting excited over an inferior copy is absolutely ridiculous.

They remade Aladdin for the GBA and added a bunch of stages, and guess what? I didn't like it. Because I wasn't 6 and I'd already played the original to death. if you are over the age of 25 you WILL come to experience the same feeling when playing Mania, unless it widely surpasses what's been shown so far.
>>
>>384108781
I'm 30, grew up with a Genesis and the Sonic games, and Mania is the first time since the death of the Dreamcast that I am excited for a Sonic game. We're not all cynical like you.

What's inferior about it? What isn't up to 90's Sonic Team / STI quality?
>>

Because Sonic Team has been doing such a great job. I wonder if Naka would have allowed this post 2006 shit to fly.
>>
>>384089626
The fantastic soundtrack, visuals, and overall tone make up for the half-baked gameplay.
I like it, but I can see why some would prefer Sonic 1.

Best track.
>>
>>384092992
It would have gotten criticised for being a 2D game in an era where 3D was all the rage.
>>
One thing that is always ignored in the threads is that Mania is getting a competition mode again.

Do you guys think it's going to use the stages from the game ala S2 or is it going to be original quick ones like in S3?

It better be the fucking former.
>>
>>384108781
>The notion that I 25 years later would be getting excited over an inferior copy is absolutely ridiculous.
Makes sense, I feel bad for anyone who got excited about Sonic 4
Just makes me even more hyped for Mania, since rather than being an inferior copy it's going to be a worthy sequel

>>384089626
personally i hate it. it has this awful looking psychedelic aesthetic that pervades all the levels. I don't like the wide open areas because it gives it an almost aimlessness to gameplay. Perhaps I just enjoy the more streamline approach of 3&K level design. I know others enjoy the game alot and that's fine, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

Is Sky Sanctuary only having one act the most tragic event in the series?
>>
>>384118665

Let's do some math here.
I'll entertain your idea that every act1 is a rehash even when they clearly showed some interesting mixing there but sure, a lot of the original games is still there.

Now let's take the 40:60 rate (which is just an estimate BTW). There is very good reason to believe that we'll have at least 5 new stages, add one extra as a final stage and we have six new zones. To counterpart, presuming they don't do anything like porting an S3 mp stage which would pretty much be an entirely new zone, there will be about 10 old zones.

From what they showed from ghz and cp we can clearly see that every single act 2 is completely new. Therefore, from those 10 zones, 10 acts are entirely new. Adding the 12 acts from the aforementioned 6 zones, you actually have a ratio of 10:22, and that's without considering obvious shit like the new boss fights.

By going with pessimistic and pedantic estimates we arrive in a conclusion that shows that at least more than half of the game will completely new. And this is by completely shoving every act1 under the rug.

How long will this recycle meme last?
