>>384304075
>>384303803
Can we NOT talk about the hole?
Hey remember when Sonic uncurled off of slopes in Sonic 4?
Why is Mania pronounced like "main-ia" and spelled "mania," yet you don't pronounce it like "man-ia?"
>>384303942
It is. It's gonna end up getting at least decent reception, autists will eat it up and it will finally cement the fact that Adventurecucks will never EVER get a game in their style again.
>>384304135
Angel Island is NOT in the fucking hole.

Micheal Jackson's ghost is in the hole, freeing him gives SEGA the music rights back and then you unlock the Sonic 3 remaster
>yfw when the hole transports Sonic into a different dimension, so all this arguing about the hole is completely meaningless

The hole containsUnlockable Amy Rose
>>384304290
It's the hole that leads to Robotnik's anus.
Can someone explain the hole? I'm clearly out of the loop.

>>384304770
Nope, just a Classic fan who happens to enjoy the Boost games too.
>>384304521
Come on it'll be funny. Autists are treating it like it's the second coming of Christ, same way they do every time we're promised Sonic is returning to its roots. It's always funny watching them lose their collective shit

I love how the madness of this game is turning us all insane and argue like fucking autistic cunts, we really do need to find out what the fuck is in that hole.

I don't want to know ANYTHING else about the game, I just want to jump in completely blind.
It's quite the only vidya game I've been looking forward to in a while.
Can somebody please make a picture of

About the hole
Eggman's mech falls in the hole with the hatch blown off, and the rockets on the back are off screen, but could still be intact.
I imagine a story sequence takes place, it is the end of the zone after all.
>>384305521
You're a ignorant retard. The adventure games are a fantastic model for a 3D Sonic game and they did drop the ball after that. Also the DX version sucks dick. That glitch isn't present in the original dreamcast version.

I don't care that it's Grand Dad, I hate you for making me listen to the Sonic 4 instruments again

Too bad it used cats instead of instruments.
There was even an entire remake of Sonic 2's music made with Sonic 4's audio font.
http://www.sonicretro.org/2011/01/sonic-the-hedgehog-2x4-album-of-the-year/

The first glitch isnt
But they earned that anyway because their magnetism system was on the verge of breaking in the DC release

You know anon, now even I don't know what the fuck is in that hole. Hydrocity? Chemical Plant? Eggman sticking the chaos emeralds up his ass? but for your sake because I know it triggers you, there is NOTHING in the hole <3
Classicfags can say they have a lot of things but they CAN'T say they have the best Special Stage theme in the series.

>>384305162
What's this supposed to mean?
>>384305845
Bad control, bad camera, overuse of scripted events
Boot up SA and play around with it to see how it works and all the strange results you get. Then go play Sonic Utopia, which is basic bitch with no control automation and plays it straight with no fancy camera.
>>384306025
It's a shame it's wasted on some of the worst special stages in the series

If an angel island level being under a south island level is slight, what is a big geography change?
>>384306019
I'm not that geography anon, retard.
>>384306289
So one screenshot of one tiny section of one area = the entirety of the game. Just ignore all of the boosting section, all of the platforming, and everything else, that one little bit means Sonic Colors was worse than Boom and 06 combined.
Not gonna lie, you guys are getting so obnoxious that /sthg/ is a less shitty Sonic thread than this.
>>384306404
I'm being very fucking careful what I say here, because I don't want to start another war from a simple idea I had
I -think- maybe, that just Hydrocity is under it, not the entire angel island. JUST AN IDEA, EVERYBODY FUCKING RELAX. PUT DOWN THE PITCHFORKS.
how would you make a good 3d Sonic game /v/. Is it even possible?
>>384306404
>>384306543
here we go again
>>384306578
SHUT UP, ARIN.
>>384306475
Except the entire game had platforming like that with the occasional 3D section
Even fucking Green Hill Zone had more variety to the level's layout than that one section of just running around and Drill gimmicks. Sonic Colors bores me to tears every time I attempted to play it and see what other people see in it
>>384306523
But that's what makes this thread so fun

>My retarded idea isn't this hypothetically even MORE retarded idea

>>384306868
>Mooooom the internet said my game was bad again
>>384306775
Well that's just your opinion, anon
I think falling into a level, or transitioning into any level from one to another, and going fully against geography would be really fun to see, instead of taking a flight back up to angel island and doing the same routine as sonic 3

And they make 20% of the game

>>384306987
>West Side Island is now under South Island
>>384306578
Already happened. Pic related.
>>384304627
I'd cum buckets. Every classic numbered game added a playable character, and who's the only major classic character who's never been playable in a classoc game? Sonic Advance even gave her a moveset.
>>384305304
Not in the SegaSonic continuity, only in Sonic the Comic and for some reason, Sonic the Fighters, I recall...?
>>384307123
>20%
Try like over 60%. Shit's more a 2D game than a 3D one with so many filler levels recycling the 2D sections but with an added gimmick. Not even getting into how flat and basic mostly everything is, relying so hard on the Wisps to keep things interesting
>>384307130
Well Hidden Palace is supposed to be on Angel Island and yet it's under Mystic Cave.
It could also just be a stupid magic hole like Alice in Wonderland and it transports him there.
TeleportationYEAH!isn't uncommon in the series.
>>384307123
>>384307341
Oh shit I meant 80%
Fuck me up senpai
>>384307048
>...He has a point, you know.
No, sorry. A west side island stage being under a south island stage doesn't make sense either.
Sonic Mania is set on an amusement park island where attractions are themed after zones. The Green Hill Hole leads to Mystic Cave. SCREENSHOT
>>384307381
>Well Hidden Palace is supposed to be on Angel Island and yet it's under Mystic Cave.
It wasn't in the original game. I'm not going to get into a argument about canon with taxman's ports. But to keep it short I don't think anyone takes easter eggs literally.
>>384307513
>Mystic Cave
Not a water level.
>>384307232
That looks pretty comparable to generations. Sure the momentum and handling is different but every time I see this project posted it Sonic blasting down straight-aways and getting huge air off ramps.
Where's the platforming?
>>384307467
Alright, it doesn't make sense.
I hate when games about running fast blue hedgehogs and flying foxes and no chuckling echnidnas don't make sense
that really annoys me. I want my games about eggman and his moustache to make sense, even the geography.
ok no more sarcasm, I'm sorry you're just too fun to poke

>yfw you realise that if you watch the footage, Eggman falls into the fall when you defeat him, so he is 100% coming back out that bad boy in a bigger mech.

The camera and events are the fucking worse and the controls are a bit slippery, but the level design wasn't half bad and I liked gamma's and tails' story.

>>384307845
It'sFinal Fever. He throws you to the next level, and you have to go back to the mechanized Green Hill to fight him.
>Branching paths
>>384307653
This started because labyrinth got ruled out if you believe that re-used stage gimmicks mean the stage won't be returning
But all this is retarded anyway because taxman said you can't fall in the hole
>>384308223
I think a random sonic level being somewhere it shouldn't be, in a game called mania, is completely reasonable anon, as I said, this is just opinions, though.
>>384308000
My point is that GHZ act 1 is the fucking high bar and most of Sonic 1 can't meet it, not even the rest of that fucking level can meet it. This is, of course, not minding the fact that Colors and Sonic 1 have totally different controls and, therefore, benefit from different layouts.
Nice trips, by the way.

>>384303803
This is essence of 90'
>>384308860
I think the term mania comes from old marketing for the Sonic games back in the 90s.
>>384307630
>Where's the platforming?
In parts of the level people usually don't bother recording because platforming isn't as interesting to watch as someone trying to recreate Sonic CD's opening.
You should play the demo yourself.
>>384307719
It's almost depressing how much people are working themselves up over Forces. It looks demonstratively worse than everything but colors. And colors had the benefit of being the first game in ages not to do something completely fucking stupid. Forces looks like they made everything play and sound worse.
>>384309498
Forces is lizuka running out of ideas and just giving into autism. GIVE THEM EVERYTHING. OC creators, classic sonic, modern, all characters, lyric music, everything. ALL THE VILLAINS. No proper or good story explanation, just fuck it, it'll make bank. and it is working. it'll outsell mania by a boatload.
I'm honestly tired of the hole situation (no pun intended). Can we talk about something else?
>>384309782
No.
>>384309782
Where is he?
>>384307705
Official Mania line up, not in this order, but these will be the levels. I can tell the future.
Green Hill Zone
Chemical Plant Zone
Oil Ocean Zone [but done properly, and not shit.]
Hole Zo--Hydrocity Zone
Azure Lake [but done properly]
Flying Battery Zone
Sky Sanc [face it, we're getting it whether you like it or not.]
Stardust Speedway
and if we have to get another CD level, Tidal.
Mirage
Studopolis
leaked cathedral
new zone
new zone
this will be it, I put all my fucking coins on it.

>>384309996
alright this is how we know the sonic general has invaded the /v/ threads
God fucking damn it
>>384309498
I feel like if the level design wasn't as boring as what they've shown off so far, there would hardly be any complaints about the game asides from people saying "Sonic was never good", "OC Creator lel", and the justifiable hate for Classic Sonic being there.
>>384310073
I don't see any babies yet.

Tee lopes made this 7 fucking years ago, and I can only imagine how much he has got better. I want shit levels in Mania JUST to hear his god damn remix, fuck.
>>384310082
There's really nothing that's been shown off. We have the shortest and shittiest of levels as their grand gameplay reveal. You're right that if the levels were designed well and not...whatever they're doing it might be a different story.
I wonder if there is going to be any new power-ups?
>Just a speculative, humble heads-up: if y'all don't want anything further revealed/spoiled for you, I think the safe bet would be to go on media blackout as of *right now*.
>They've revealed 1 returning zone for each of the classic 2D games, except for standalone "Sonic 3." In terms of when returning zones were revealed, the order has been Green Hill-->Flying Battery-->Stardust Speedway-->Chemical Plant. (Meaning they seemingly purposefully skipped over "3" when revealing returning stages.) And in the upload of Studiopolis Act 1 music on the official Youtube page four days ago, they made a point of saying "We know this one's been public for a while, but please look forward to what's coming up!" Then there's the 1 hour "Mania" panel at Comic-Con this Saturday. That panel sounds more behind-the-scenes on how the project got started/development went, but they do say they will "share new insights about the game."
>So, purely speculation on my part, but I think odds are high that a returning "Sonic 3" zone (and accompanying music) either gets revealed this Saturday, or sometime before launch day. Would make sense to save that as the last big reveal before the game's out, and to have a new video close to release to drum up excitement. But yeah, if you don't want to know anything else about "Mania" before actually playing it, I really think it'd be wise to go on blackout now.
>Personally, I'm on board with seeing more before release. Looking forward to learning any info from the Comic-Con panel Saturday night!
Someone posted this on Retro.
28 DAYS REMAIN.
>>384305125
Yeah, at the time most people agreed that Colors and Generations broke the cycle when those games were released.
Unfortunately, we have a bit of revisionism going on in the board now. Adventurecucks are now old enough to post, meaning they're going to pretend that those games were always bad out of pure envy and butthurt.
>>384310353
that was fucking beautiful

>>384310601
You're a deluded fucking idiot m8. Colors and Generations are fucking trash. Boring, shallow piece of shit games. Makes sense you'd like them though. You fucking idiot, you.
>>384310568
Yeah, we already worked this one out. Expect something at Comic-con. Good to know though.

>>384310963
It confirms the level order though and that we're not getting two levels per game, thus ruling out Labyrinth
>>384303896
Adventurefag here. Mania is the most hyped I've been for a game in years. You're too young to have known this but most Adventure fans grew up with the original games.
>>384310782

Build levels around going fast.
>>384311607
.. right, so they announce the sonic 3 level
why does that cancel out they're hiding the double dip levels from us?
>>384311697
Because they just said each game is going to have one level, except Sonic 3 meaning that it's gonna have two, as in they're counting S&K.

To be fair there are boost pads in that game too, the difference is that its more fun when you Keep your speed going, and aren't punished by falling off a cliff to your death.

It's true. The only two original songs in the game we know of are BOTH copies of stardust speedway. Why don't you quit being such a childish autist who can't stand when other opinions exist. Oh wait, you're an adult who plays Sonic...
>>384312014
>To be fair
To be fair a fast character in a 3D space was never hard, has been done before plenty of times, and all they had to do was use a rear camera instead of crazy angles and 3D sonic would have been great for a few games until the sonic team discovered cocaine.

If you slow down the extreme speed of the boost formula, you get a sonic that controls kind of like a car, which is why the boost formula works so well. The "Boost" button becomes a gas pedal and you can steer sonic much more easily.
>>384312276Sonic Adventure 3 already happened
So how do we go nuts on Sonic Mania?
Multiplayer co-op?
Online Leaderboards with record feature?
Collection Shop? (Buy Songs, Pictures, Videos...)
>>384312584
I actually consider 06 to be Sonic Adventure 3. I do think if executed better 06 could have been somewhat fun. That unity engine "remake" thing looks interesting.
>>384312106
Bitch got caught being fucking wrong, what a surprise
This was never stated anywhere.
I hope there is a story and not just levels. It would be one hell of a regression if it was just plot-less levels.
They got to explain three things:
1) Why would Knuckles be in Green-hill Zone?
It doesn't have to be much, it could be as simple as Knuckles is visiting Sonic and then shit goes down. Of coarse that leaves open the question of where the other characters are while you are off on your adventure. In 3&K the Knuckles game takes place after Sonic's and/or Tail's adventure.
2) How they are getting from Zone to zone when for example Greenhill zone is on South Island and Chemical plant is on West-side Island and Stardust Speedway is on Little-planet?
Maybe that tunnel has the player travel underground from South Island to West-side? And they could just SCIENCE! an explanation for little planet, like a teleporter.
3) What is Robotnik is up to?
I would be very disappointed if Eggman doesn't have something impressive that he is up to, and it's not a repeat of Sonic 1.
>>384312584
>tfw Heroes+Shadow was a better Episodic series than 4
>>384312106
>>384312351
I think I get what he's saying. He counts S3&K as a single game in terms of snatching levels from. And since they showed us a level from K and not 3, and using S3&K as one game thought, that there will be no level from 3 because Flying Battery is a zone from a game with 3. And through this, he's saying that they will not double dip.
I don't agree with that and I think it sounds stupid since there are separate buttons for 3 and K on the elevator, but I got his thinking behind it.
will sonic be in it
>>384312351

>Says it in the very quote

I dunno what else to tell you. They're in San Diego, they're overviewing information that'll be talked about later this week, and you keep asking for a source. All I can say is wait at this point.
>>384312814
no don't be stupid idiot
>>384312414

>>384311083

You're too young to have known this but most reasonable adults understand that the Adventure series is trash through and through.

no he died
>>384312815

>I dunno what else to tell you.
I'll take an apology
>>384312815
Wait, what?
Where in that quote does it say that Mania will have 1 level each game? It says they've ANNOUNCED 1 level a game, but that doesn't mean they've said there will only be one level each.
>>384312232
I like how the narrator says the term 'world wide web'.
Fuck man, where is the timeline where everything is still like the 90s?
>>384312951
That's exactly what it says though.
>>384312850
Can't give you my address because an Adventurecuck like you is surely a poorfag and you wouldn't be able to even afford traveling to my house lmao.
Keep salty cuck, You're a disgrace
>>384312969
They're talking about at SDCC which starts later this weekend.
>>384312993
It says this?
>Because they just said each game is going to have one level, except Sonic 3 meaning that it's gonna have two, as in they're counting S&K.
1 stage being revealed for each game so far = there will only be 1 stage per game?
>>384312993
3 & K are separate on the elevator. That means there'll be a 3 stage. If they hadn't shown us the 3 stage yet, they haven't shown off all returning stages. And since they haven't shown all returning stages, how does that mean they won't double dip?
Jesus fucking christ
>>384313081
I realise that bud, I get a level will be announced at SDCC-- you know what, never mind.
Until I get some source saying NO double dip, ain't believing it.
>>384313040
Classicfags and boost fags are the true cuckolds. You're pieces of fucking shit subhuman autistic disgraceful niggers. I'd really beat the ever loving shit out of you, I'd beat you senseless and when you'd beg me to stop I'd just keep on going. Fucking pussy, I'm smarter and better than you in every single way. You're worth nothing tbqh
>>384313145
>>384313156
>>384313160
They're flat out saying that it's going to be revealed and discussed that each game will have only one level. It's pretty simple and makes sense. Five old levels, and five new levels (since there's 5 HBHs and they're the Act 2 bosses of new levels). It evens out.
>>384313160
>Until I get some source saying NO double dip, ain't believing it.

>>384312690
>I actually consider 06 to be Sonic Adventure 3
This. 06 is Adventure 3 in everything but name. Adventurecucks just don't want to admit that the formula doesn't work. It has the exact same problems those two titles had just on a bigger scale. If you fix the bugs it's the same shit
>>384313258

My fucking god
>>384313289
but the ratio was 60/40
>>384313258
Classicfags are the original players and they are getting pandered now harder than ever
Boostfags have been getting their shit since Unleashed
Only your Adventurecuck ass is getting fucked by Sega's Imaginary Corporate Cock while your favorite type of gameplay is resting on the colossal failure that was Sonic 06. By extension you're the king of cucks and a complete faggot, Enjoy waiting for SA3 until you die cuck
>>384312690
No, it's just a shitty ripoff of the first Sonic Adventure, right down to the bosses.
>>384313452
We don't even know the ratio. It's just that there are more returning stages than new.
>>384313326
I mean you can mock me but I'm right here.
>>384313451
>>384313452
That's just what it says though. It's a nice even ratio. Maybe the final level will be a new Death Egg or something.
>>384313258
What games do you consider to be the Adventure formula? Oh right, the shitty ones. The one so bad that it gave Sonic one of the worst gaming reputations in history. The one so bad that it is considered one of the worst games in history.
Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06. That's plenty of games for you to enjoy.
>this entire fucking thread
>Green Hill
>Stardust Speedway
>Chemical Plant
>Supposed Sonic 3 Stage
>Flying Battery
>+5 original stages
>10 stages in general
Something doesn't seem right about these numbers to me. They promised more old than new, and that the game would be longer than 3&K which has about 14 zones
We're definitely either double-dippingor they're gonna pick from some games we haven't even seen yet
>>384313554
>That's just what it says though
No one accidentally gets this retarded. You're trying as hard as you can. If it just says that, copy and paste it. Go ahead. Try.
Plot twist: They changed their minds and we're getting a Game Gear or a Chaotix levelor both
>>384313414
wrong side? it's the right side you retard. The adventure era of sonic games are the only sonic games that matter lol, notice how everything from 2010 and onwards is filler, shovelware tier garbage.

>adventurefag/boostfag shit
>b-but he just implied they're not double dipping!
Can we just go back to talking about the hole?
>>384313705
This is 100% the case
there is no fucking way in hell, they will release a Sonic hd 2d game in 2017, with 10 STAGES. something is being hidden from us, and it isn't the sonic 3 level.
>>384305162
Its just mostly flat ground, most the 2D Sonic has slopes that allows for acceleration. Platforming in Sonic colors is pretty weak overall.
>>384313554
Math anon. 5/0.4=12. At least 12 Zones. this is assuming they don't shove more returning levels and they keep the ratio. 5 new levels (Including the final zone)+5 returning levels=10
What are the last 2?
>>384313778
I already pasted it earlier in the thread friend. It's okay if you guys disagree with it but I will be civil about the disagreement. The games out in a month anyway, and no matter what we get, it will be a fun experience, be it 10 zones or extra.

>>384314179
But I'm not? We're getting one zone per game, I shared a source, and people are denouncing it. That's fine, I don't mind, but it just means we will have to wait and see.

Never played Knuckles Chaotix, I take it.
What's the canon status of Knuckles story in S&K/S3&K? The Death Egg is seemingly absent and the final boss is Mecha Sonic, so does it take place before or after Sonic's story? Is it canon at all?
>>384314528
They are not making it because it's a shit concept and the only thing you faggots cry about is muh chao garden which was a shit minigame anyway, if you want that get a fucking pet simulator and kill yourself.

>>384314307
You shared a quote from a guy who posted the exact same information everyone else knows and does nothing to support the claim of 1 zone per game. It says we've been shown 1 zone per game except for sonic 3, and the panel is coming up. That's it.
Then when asked what the fuck you are talking about, you refuse to produce anything and condescend another anon claiming that he has failed at reading comprehension, when you are in fact the one who misunderstood the post. And now all you can do is lie like everyone can't read what you've posted.
I'd like to "wait and see" you leave.
>>384314698
it takes place after.
>>384314698
It takes place after Sonic's you dip
If you finished Sonic's story with all the Chaos Emeralds (But not all the Super Emeralds) an Eggrobo rises from the wreckage of other Eggrobos and it's implied that becomes Knuckles' enemy during his story
That's why Mecha Sonic is the final boss. Mecha Sonic didn't explode during Sonic's story

If Sonic does not get all the Super emeralds then Knuckles story takes place, because Sonic looses the Master emerald at the end of his story and Robotnik's robots recapture it.
If Sonic does get all the Super emeralds, the Knuckles story doesn't happen because the Master emerald is returned.

This is the best version of amy
We live in the bad ending timeline.
If Sonic Mania went up against Sonic Boom, we would of got Sonic Mania sequels out the ass and it would of saved the franchise
Instead, we're going up against the ultimate evil, the big bad, the OC creator, Forces. The pure culmination of everything that made Sonic cancerous, rolled into one giant autism wrecking ball. We cannot beat autism, no matter how well received Mania is. Forces will outsell it because it has physical sales alone, and Mania will stand as the last beacon of hope for Sonic, as the tide of autism washes over it, it'll be there forever for us to play, but we'll know in our hearts, its what COULD of been from the series, instead.
Instead, this. This is the future of Sonic, and there is nothing we can do.

Admit it classic cucks and boost fags, you only don't like the adventure era games because you feel fucking threatened by them. There is no other reason. Come at me with some bullshit if you like but you know for a fucking fact that that is the truth.
>>384316414
There's a good chance that Forces will be so shit, it kills Modern.
I'd be okay with that.
>>384316906
It's more likely that he WILL take a hot steamy dump and takes a picture of it and posts it on social media saying fuck you sonic fags, I bought the rights to Sonic but will now exclusively make Mario games.
I hope they have those neat little transition cutscenes between zones like in S3K

You don't know? Everyone screencaps posts like this to laugh at later
I hope this does good and Taxman and froiends get commissioned to make Mania 2. Imagine if instead of being called Mania 2, its called Sonic 5?
Mania is the real Sonic 4, its weird to think about, a true sequel to Sonic 3 and K? Is this really happening?! Holy shit.
>>384318228
In Chaotix, he uses the Chaos Rings, and judging by the cutscene prior with Eggman at the computer, the machine was probably already built and ready to go.
>>384318256
There is no Sonic 4. The Sonic series uses subtitles after 3

If that was Sonic 4 it would actually feel like a Sonic game in the first place
>>384318424
All I see is a blank picture. What's your point?
>>384317463
It was a throwaway mobile title that someone at SOA got punch dunk on and tried to make it into New Super Mario Bros. for Sonic, then got really cocky by making it Sonic 4.
Boy did that backfire.
>>384318572
I love how you think, even if this happens
current sega team wouldn't fuck it up, how do you never learn?
>>384318256
No
They have to call it Sonic the Hedgehog 4
Just so that there can be no doubt that we got a real sonic 4 crowned by sega from taxman and team, and the first one they shit out is disowned forever. Also when asked if having two games by the same name is confusing, the answer is always "what do you mean 2 games?"
>>384318295
>>384318519
I find it hard to swallow that just one Chaos Ring can transform him.
Mecha Sonic needed the Master Emerald to go Super and even then it was temporary.
>>384318746
Note Eggman at the computer though, he probably had this ready as a back up plan. The fact that the machine is so weak probably supports that.
>>384318708
I'd take a bad attempt at a Adventure game than the pile of shit that is Forces or a lazy piece of trash nostalgia cash-in like Mania

>>384319587
No it wouldn't dumbass
>>384309498
Forces feels really slow and not intense compared to what we got for Generations. Considering the fact that Forces Modern Sonic gameplay is at least 50% 2D platforming shit and really empty/linear.
Then you've got Generations, which even gives you some motion blue when you go fast enough and had some pretty decent enemy placement. It was pretty linear too, but it at least made it fun/exciting to play throughthen again Generations had a shit ton of rehash levels though so those might've been fun in their own game
What hole?
>>384319874
Why the fuck have they shown absolutely nothing of Forces yet if this is their big ass game?Or do they have nothing to show despite it launching this Holiday season?

You can beat him way faster then that though. It's like how there's a wall behind you during the Sandopolis Act 2 boss.

The only thing that looks awful on Forces is the stupid Custom Character flame-throwing and whip bullshit.
Why not make the custom character just play like Sonic and call it a day?
Hopefully they at least polish that before release, but since Mania is a thing, I don't really care if it ends up confirming the Sonic cycle anyway.

It's a rule that when sonic team manages to make a respectable sonic game they abandon everything they were supposed to learn
>>384322448
In forces they are
Generations is younger Sonic
Forces is alternate Sonic

Green Hill from Generations was so much faster and open. This just looks like a stunted version of it. Music's pretty annoying too.

>>384322851
S3&K. I've replayed it the most out of all of them and usually play it to the end unlike with S2 which I usually stop at Oil Ocean/Metropolis. I can play S1 to the end pretty easy too.
>>384322351
not enough blast processing
>>384322851
Sonic 1, not too fast good and good platforming
>>384322851
Sonic 3Complete.
>>384322851
S3&K and Sonic 3 Complete cements that fact
I love Sonic 1, but Labyrinth is a stain on an otherwise relatively solid game
For some reason I like Sonic 2 the least. I couldn't tell you why, something about it irks me
And I've been trying to git gud at Sonic CD lately but I'm very hot and cold about it. The Special Stages fucking suck and the time travel could've been handled just a little better than it was. Future posts are so worthless, they should've saved Good and Bad Futures for Act 3 exclusively
I love them so much though
>>384322851
Sonic 2. 3&K is the better game objectively but I have much more fun playing through 2 because of how fast and quick it is. Only problem is Metropolis but 3&K has Sandopolis which is just as bad.
>>384322690
No because I'm about to go to bed. ask /sthg/ on /vg/
>>384323605
Sandopolis is nowhere near as bad. Metropolis has those star, mantis and lobster fuckers while Sandopolis only has the scorpion fucker.
>>384322851
That's a hard question. I like 1 and CD, but 2 and 3&K more. But between 2 and 3&K its a bit tricky since they both have very strong things going for it.
3 and K has a story and the way it transitions from acts and Zones that is very nice. As well as the elemental shields, Knuckles, better graphics, and a better story than 2. But 2 is prettier, has better music and level aesthetics and its a bit more iconic. I would have to say 2 is my favorite but 3 and K is almost as good.
So I guess its: CD < 1 < 3&K < 2. But really all of them have strong points. I like how experimental CD and its quirky colors and soundtrack make it the weirdest of the classic sonic games, and I like it, but it suffers from poor level design. Sonic 1 has platforming and since you don't have a spindash it makes momentum really satisfying, and I like it.
>you will never experience this live
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98eoSTr8ips
>>384323692
never understood the hate with the stars, they give you a few seconds to prepare for their attack and the lobsters aren't really that common. The slicers fucking suck though. Always placed in areas where the game flings you forward
>>384323929
Literally the only thing that saved that god awful livestream
>>384323929
The moment Knuckles showed up everyone lost their shit. Simply great.
>>384311216
i liked the base gameplay of adventure, but it needs streamlining and more path variance.
>>384324246
The Whitehead thing got a big cheer too
>>384324193
Asterons are shat on just by being in the same stage as Shellcrackers and Slicers
Slicers are the absolute worst, Shellcrackers tend to camp under low ceilings that make it hard to jump over them, and Asterons are just the icing that sometimes snipe you offscreen, or worse Tails activates them while you're running up a bolt platform
>>384324340
And so did the title screen, even though it's not shown in that video.
>>384323929
I didn't know of Sonic mania's existence until I saw this trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvD8NZN9Zsg
Holy shit, I tell you. I had written off Sonic for so long that I had forgotten how much I liked the originals. All I have heard about Sonic has been negative so I never looked into it. Hearing about '06 scarred me away from trying 3D Sonic
Mania literally resurrected part of my childhood that was dead.
>>384324448

>>384324584 How did you not know until then?! I'm not angry, just confused.

CD. I appreciate the haphazard level design that focuses on exploration, really makes me appreciate the physics.Shame you get nothing out of it but a slightly different ending that can even be gotten without exploration.
>>384324551
yeah I wish he got the title screen in the shot too
>>384324592
I've always been bad at Sonic 2's Special Stages, regardless of playing without Tails. I only got all the Emeralds because they lowered the requirement with Knuckles
Sonic 2 is the only Classic gamenot counting CD since I just barely started playing it this yearI can't get all the Chaos Emeralds in and considering you can't even fight the final boss with Super Sonic I don't bother
>>384324584
I feel it did that to a LOT of people.
>>384324674
Wasn't on /v/, I don't do social media, and Ive been at my parents house again and not hanging around with friends since I started going to college. So gaming news just flew past me undetected.
>>384324775
Don't really care for any of the classic special stages. 3&K was the closest they got to be good. Hope Mania has good special stages
>>384323832
>Sonic 1 has platforming and since you don't have a spindash it makes momentum really satisfying, and I like it.
Why do people spout this about 1? Marble isn't satisfying, Spring Yard is mostly okay with some slow elevator parts bogging it down, Labyrinth sure as hell isn't satisfying, Star Light is okay at best and each act is over in like 20 seconds. I seriously don't see where Sonic 1 has some emphasis on platforming that 2, 3&K, and especially CD apparently don't have over it.
>>384324724
Yeah, specially because it's the best filmed video on YouTube. The rest either have a shaky camera or terrible audio quality.Or crowd isn't just loud enough.

I hope it's Sonic Xtreme inspired. The development story on that is really sad and what they had before cancellation was pretty decent and definitely good enough for a bonus stage.

Classic: 3K obviously
Adventure: Heroes
Modern: Unleashed
I just don't see how anyone could prefer any other 2D Sonic game. 3K is like perfect in every way except how terrible Marble Garden and Sandopolis is.
>>384326714
>Marble Garden
>Terrible
Honestly Carnival Night is the worst S3 stage
Sonic Adventure 1+2 are below average, Sonic Heroes is trash, all the modern boost games are slightly above average, the only great thing about the series was the classic games.
>>384326831
I knew I would see that
Its either Marble Garden or Carnival Night that you are bound to hate. S3K is sadly not the perfect game many think it is with its obvious flaws. Its still amazing how good it is despite a couple craptastic levels though
>>384326947
It's perfect enough that people are willing to play through it to the end just because the game is genuinely that fun. I can even blaze through Sandopolis even if I hate it so much, just because there's so much good in the game the bad can't overwhelm it
>>384326947
>>384327096
When I play the full locked on S3K, I tend to start losing motivation around Sandopolis. It bounces back for Lava Reef then goes back to full strength the rest of the ride.
Marble Garden at least has some great music.
>>384327096
>>384327205
The game is to big to play in one sitting I find. I used to be able to play both parts maybe just like 5 or 6 years ago. Now when I do its just individial levels from Sonic 3 or SK. I played both combined to completion recently because of Mania but I won't do it again for a long time until another special occassion pops up.

>>384328209
youve changed this at least once shut up
>>384326714
I think you're really underestimating how tedious Sandopolis really is when you're playing through the entire game. Marble Garden and Casino Night are early so you can tolerate it but by the time Sandopolis comes you're starting to get tired of the game and it almost always sucks the life out of you before getting a second wind with lava reef onwards. Problem is most don't get that second wind because they give up during act 2.
>>384328340
3K is maybe four hours long, how do you get tired of it three hours in?
>all the retardation ITT
I see the 10 year-olds have finally found the Mania threads. Guess I'm gone until release.
>>384328340
Sandopolis is one of my favorite classic zones.
>People actually think theres something down the hole
It's just a bottomless pit. Screencap this. It will happen.
>>384328691
Taxman literally said there's something in there.
>>384328340
I don't underestimate it at all. Sandopolis is right there with Marble, Labryinth, Oil Ocean, and Wacky Workbench for the utterly worst zones in 2D Sonic. Lava Reef is nice but it feels to claustrophobic for what just came before. Should have been Sandopolis > Sky Sanctuary > Lava Reef > Death Egg (Sonic hitches a ride aboard it as Eggman is pulling out in LR Act 2)
>>384328691
Taxman said otherwise.

but WHICH ZONE?
>>384329141
So then there is something in the hole.
>>384329141
oh no, someone will ask it. rip
>>384329101
There is nothing wrong with metropolis. Its like Eggmanland, Death Egg, Final Fortress, Final Rush. The last level is supposed to be daunting and kick your ass
>>384329101
Metropolis is only bad due to how scattered the level design and badly placed the obstacles are but Oil Ocean is just a long drag that didn't need to be there
A Sonic game without a factory/mechanical-themed level at some point just seems fucked
>>384329234
That said, it seems redundant with Wing Fortress Zone
>>384328808
death
>>384329357
Describes this thread perfectly.
>>384329234
no Metropolis is just designed badly. Wing Fortress is the final zone and it's a cakewalk compared to it. It's the worst offender for Sonic 2's rushed development
Reminder: We are getting only ONE zone from each game.
