If they were, they could just link it to Forces somehow.

Who the fuck is Tee Lopes?

i heard most of his shit on youtube and it was mostly just alright,

he ain't no MICK FUCKING GORDON though,

>>384418703
Tee lopes was just a guy who did vidya game remixes and a few IOS game sound tracks to make some cash.
He was however the guy who did Sonic 2 HD's soundtrack before that game imploded on itself which got him on the team for mania.

>>384418703
He makes good sonic music.

Among other shit, he got to make Sonic 2 HD's music, and it was 100% on point. Had made some of the best "modernized" versions of a couple of the music. This ascended his status with the community.

That's it.

>>384418863
He also managed to make music for several youtube e-celebs. Most notably, that Johnny guy who plays a ton of Sonic.

Does anybody else feel that Sonic Mania's soundtrack has reoccurring instruments in most of the tracks we've heard so far? If it's going for a Sonic CD JP feel, I think there should be more variety in the instruments.

>>384416323
I really did hate this zone as a kid of I'm being honest

>>384419478
I did notice there's quite a lot of sound's taken from some Sonic CD JP. You can hear them in the HBH theme and Mirage Saloon.

>>384419478
I don't know about that but TL seems locked into a style for his original compositions. I hope the last 3 original zone tracks don't remind me of studio and mirage

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Hard_Boiled_Heavies

>The Hard Boiled Heavies are a group that appears in Sonic Mania. They are a line consisting of different Badnik models created by Dr. Eggman. They work in private, but appear in front of Sonic many times over the course of his adventure. However, this evil group eventually evolves into something even Eggman could not predict. (1)

So how accurate is that translation from official Japanese Mania website? Because if that's true, that's some interesting implications for later on in the game.

I like her way more than the real thing. Much more cute than sexy, which is good because I don't care anything about fucking a bat. Is she actually in the game?

>>384423675
His physics are all fucky.
I'm not hyper autistic and demanding 1:1 with classic games, but if you let go of the stick he shouldn't just stop like that.
Most of the momentum is scripted so if you try and experiment and explore the levels you end up moving strangely.
Oh and the spindash is broken as fuck since it fires you at rediculous speeds and you can just press a button to use it instead of needing to come to a complete stop.

Also a lack of shield moniters in levels was a crime. Having to rely on skills to get them at all is dumb.

The deed is done, Sega put the oil in the water and you can't take it out. Sonic 4 exists and there is no retconning it and getting a proper Sonic 4. They really fucked the pooch on that one. Mania sequel just needs a new flashy word. Make Mania it's own trilogy.

>>384426734

Then Again its weird how the game is numbered anyway! A lot of people dont even care about CD or even know about it!

>Sonic 4 exists and there is no retconning it and getting a proper Sonic 4.

If Sega was ever convinced that that's what fans wanted they could still call the next game Sonic 4. This would be a problem for any other series, but not enough normies play sonic to be confused.

If I roll into a ball when going down a slope, I should gain speed. Sonic does not do this in Generations. Modern's levels are more enjoyable to play since his levels do the boost formula well, instead of being a cheap imitation of something else.

No, the next one should be called Sonic 5, there is a lot of weight attached to a numbered sequel to those old games. Calling the next taxman game (if it happens) 'Sonic 5' essentially declares Mania to be the real Sonic 4, we will just have to live with the blemish of the game so-called Sonic 4 if it means Mania is the legitimate successor to Sonic 3&K.

They called it Sonic 4. That name comes with a high standard. it's a halfassed rehash. There are no original levels, just old ones with different names. Momentum is also extremely important, when I roll into a ball going downhill, I should gain speed, but in Sonic 4 he just stops.

I'd argue at the very least that White Park was unique in the sense that it combined the standard snow/carnival motifs to make it stand out, even if it's just a little bit.

I agree with the physics though, you spindash and jump without holding a direction and you just stop midair. It's jarring (and bad) but in standard gameplay while always holding right, only thing that really stood out to me was uncurling, but that was fixed in the second half of the game, which I just started a few minutes ago. I liked Sylvania Castle's music and boss.

>>384432861
I 100% agree that it doesn't hold up the originals, I just find it enjoyable to just hold right and breeze through everything though. Something to play when you don't feel like trying.

I usually make fun of other people for getting impatient for games, but this time I'm the one who really wants a game to come the fuck out already.

Pinball physics and sloping level design are what gave Sonic 1, 2, and 3 a distinctive gameplay identity.

Sonic 4 is not within that gameplay tradition. Naming it such is straight up misleading. It does not continue the gameplay legacy.

>>384432529

And so naturally up next is M4NI4, as it continues that distinctive gameplay tradition.

I'm really digging the boss theme right now, but that's probably just the novelty of it at the moment.

I really like Green Hill Act 2. It has that perfect Saturn-style feel to it. That or Mirage Saloon Act 2.

I was referring mainly to Episode 1. Episode 2 atleast tried with its level themes.

>>384434715

Yeah it's pretty good.

>>384436743
It's more exploration based then most others. Plus it's also cut very closely from Sonic 1's cloth still.

>>384436880
It's like if they made 1 but made it not a monotonous waste of time.

I think the real problem was that it wasn't very good.
Some sections were excellent, but then you get slow black pacman sonic in JRPG town that takes a fucking hour to slog through.
Jet Shoes and the Boost Boots were actually really fun to fool around with though and I kind of want someone to backport them into ATS as unlikely as that is.

Actually finding meaningful powerups through exploration isn't a half bad idea for a sonic game. It just needed better level design to take advantage of the newer abilities rather than all the filler it actually had.

Who do you like to play as most: Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles?

>>384440261
Normalfags are excited for anything. See the comments in some Sonic Forces footage videos.

>>384440270
And there was a mobile port too before the Steam release and even MORE people played it.

>>384440309
Sonic.
Knuckles is good for his different routes through most zones, but his half-as-good jump doesn't feel too great half the time. It's like playing hard mode.
Tails is kinda meh. He's just Sonic but he can fly, so basically easy mode.

>>384440309
Obviously Sonic. Messing with the drop dash would be fun and it can help me get better times for the remixed zones.
Knuckles is pretty fun but the not-so-high jump bullshit mechanic he has can be annoying.
I don't like playing as Tails.

>>384440309
Sonic Most of the time. He's usually got the most going on with how he plays.
Knuckles is ok, but too frustrating when you hit the walls they put up to keep you out of Sonic's routes. Those really make you feel.

Tails is my favorite sonic character, but he's pretty boring to play as in the classic games.
Playing as the more controllable Tails varients in rom hacks where flying doesn't lock you in and is less painfully slow is much better. I like how he is in megamix for example.

>>384440309
I loved Knuckles as a kid

Tails' best game to ever play as is in CD

Playing as Knuckles is literally hard mode.

>>384442254
yeah if you're playing sonic 2 death egg, otherwise it's just like slight difficulty+ mode. not really "hard" by my standards but it's definitely fun to tread the routes i've played less

it's not /as/ good as the other classic sonic games, but it's still good. the platforming focus, especially compared to sonic 2, is nice. where's that meme triangle someone else made?

>>384442595
I love Sonic 1. First Sonic game I ever really played. I even love Sonic Genesis for the GBA

It's not my favorite, I prefer 3&K and CD is slowly starting to rise as one of my favorites. I prefer it to Sonic 2

Someday I want to make it a goal to play every port of the game just to see how they work

>>384442595
Yeah I like it, though it's a bit quaint compared to 2, 3&K or even CD.

>>384442595

>>384442595
It's a great game, though not as good as 2 or 3&K. It's far better than CD though.

>>384435628
so they're more supid than 6 y/o children playing this game.
why doesn't this surprise me.

>>384427489
Classic Sonic in Gens is a poor man's version of actual classic Sonic gameplay but it still beats the shit out of the unpolished mediocrity that is modern Sonic's stuff.

>>384443314
I just don't understand how they can just not pick up that Sonic is a game about momentum.

>>384442595
It's my least favorite out of the Genesis/CD games but I do think it's a solid first entry for the series. About the same as Super Mario Bros. was to the Mario series. Classic, iconic, but ultimately vastly improved by it's sequels.

>>384442994

I adore all the classic games, in my opinion I'd rate it like this:
3&K>CD>1>2
I can't get into 2 no matter what I do for some reason.

>>384443986
I agree with your rankings. I think the biggest problem with Sonic 2 is that it starts really strong but progressively worse as it goes, less than half the levels are what I'd call good, and by the time you get to Metropolis the level designers clearly just fucking stopped trying.

>>384443986

I like them all too, but for me its: 2 > 3&K > 1 > CD

>>384445197
I feel the momentum stops at Oil Ocean. Mystic Cave is the last good level IMO.

>>384445332

What about when the game hits Sky-chase Zone and Wing fortress?

>>384442595


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq_Fm7qfRQk

>>384442595
Green Hill Zone, Star Light Zone, and maybe Spring Yard Zone are the only worthwhile zones from that game. Labyrinth is one of the worst classic zones, along with Metropolis.

I just started to play Generations and how could they think that this was good classic Sonic gameplay? He feels like shit, and fuck red rings.

I think it's got higher highs and lower lows than the JP one. The soundtrack itself is also a lot more ambient than the JP one, which I'm a sucker for. The only real stinker of the soundtrack is the boss theme. What the hell were they thinking?

US soundtrack did too little. JP soundtrack did too much.

Compare these versions of Palmtree Panic. US version is only slightly melancholic and "dangerous" sounding, while JP goes way overboard for just the first level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpTtJb4CTBI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVCAEzSQXgU

I like JP a little more in this case. It's groovy and it sounds like Squidward is playing his clarinet at a part

>>384450248
I always liked how the JP bad future Palmtree Panic sounded like some kind of grimy, metallic rave party in some dingy warehouse.

>>384450320
That's an awesome image to have in your mind, but does it fit a grassland level so much?

Speaking of bad future themes:

>>384450512
Always thought it was weird that Metallic Madness' bad future theme is just a more sad version of the present theme.

>>384450248
I like the JP one a lot more because they're so many US tracks where it's obvious they weren't trying

But even with JP being a massive step up I consider CD the weakest of the classic soundtracks. The most quality zone for music is Stardust Speedway, the best song in the game is Tidal Tempest Present. CD will always have the massive advantage of CD quality audio though.

>>384453780
>comic news is coming this week
It'll be the announcement that the book is canceled.

>>384453497
The only thing that needs to happen, is Sega to need to give the rights to somebody competent, and make a proper modern sonic game. I love how I don't have anything to back that up any more because the last time they did that, we got something even worse, Sonic Boom.

I swear, it's almost like they did that game on purpose to tell us "HA, SEE, IT COULD BE WORSE!"

Sonic could be incredible, but we need to move past this lizuka boost shit, mixing all the villains, OC creator, and terrible classic sonic in 3d space. For some reason Sonic Fans, ESPECIALLY when you put them into teams which Mania/Forces is doing, are defending Forces as if some fucking beacon of hope for the series, and as if it it worth defending that anybody with a brain cell can see why this game is flawed and the entire modern part just needs a reword. When I say Modern, I mean the entire games of Modern sonic, not just modern levels.

61KB, 335x180px

>>384453878
Modern Sonic needs to be re-thought completely imo. Boost is fun, but it's awful to develop for since you need to make miles and miles of track for a 2-4 minute level, plus good luck coming up with novel level design after your 20th kilometer of hallway you're making. It engenders lazy design choices, and doing that to Sonic Team is like handing an arsonist a match and gas. Since we're stuck with ST, they need to find a more sustainable style of Modern Sonic game to make.

>>384453861
You don't hype up cancellation announcements.

>>384454139
Exactly this. It's a very pretty spectacle, and gives off the feeling of going fast, but a game where you have slightly slower speeds, and can fully control Sonic would be so much better. Truth is, I just don't think modern SEGA team have it in them, they're just not talented enough, or we would of got it by now.

I am of the small part of the community who believes that these games should be there own trilogy, and a spiritual successor to sonic3&k.

If Sonic 4 didn't fuck with the program, maybe, but it's there and there ain't shit we can do. Mania should be a stand alone little trilogy of its own. Just whatever the fuck you do, don't call it Mania 2, anything but that.

This isn't true

www.vgchartz.com/game/6426/sonic-cd/

Sonic 3 sold more than Sonic CD
Sonic 3 sold 1.76m copies while Sonic CD sold 1.5m copies. The 1.02m number in Wikipedia is only counting the US sales

>I don't get why people want to banish this game to the depths of hell. Inoffensive at best
Fuck off with this bait and kill yourself

>>384455684
There is literally absolutely nothing wrong with any of that.
COnsidering how far out of your way you would have to nitpick to consider sonic giving Eggman the middle finger a massive flaw or having an antrophompc Owl in fucking Sonic of all things, makes me feel this is just bait.
Oh and the flying worlds comment, which is especially fucking silly complaint.

I really liked Sonic's English VA. It wasn't the usual "TOO LEGIT TO QUIT DUDE" voice he's usually given, it was something really unexpected and unique. imo it suits him pretty well, at least I think so after having it grow on me.
Tails' voice too.

Hard Boiled Heavies should be at the bottom. What an uninspired theme.

It's the opposite you retard. It's like they made Sonic 1 but made it 1000 times more annoying

I only watched the whole movie in Nipponese, but from what I've seen of the English version they switched Sonic's voices with Tails, which is supposed to be the cutesy dootsy one so his dub voice doesn't really fit imo.

I don;t know what the fuck a mixer/master-er does but I feel like Falk is the only thing keeping the entire soundtrack from just being nothing but Dance Mixes of Stardust Speedway.

The VA just sounded like he had a really bad cold

Is it wrong that this is my canon voice for Sonic?

I fucking hate that WOAH RADICAL DUDE I'VE GOT A TUDE voice

I like exploring in games & CD has such a sexy aesthetic to it so I prefer it over 1.

>>384457662
No. There may be something shown at the Comic Con behind the scenes panel on Saturday though.

I can only imagine that they were trying to make him sound like a nerd...since he does machines and stuff.
