Don't they drop snacks on Tuesdays?

Also the hour long panel is saturday night

I need some romhacks recs right now. Isn't there a Sonic metroidvania romhack? What's it called, because I want to try it out

Reminder to play S3C with Sonic and Tails and activate the option that let's you fly too.

I'm going to play as Knuckles on my first playthrough. Sonic on the second and Tails never__________

practice, anon. just follow the paths given to you, especially on special stage 11. remember that you can tap forward after getting hit by a bumper to start moving forward again.

I played through Sonic 3 and Knuckles today. There's something just so moreish about it's zones even though I've played them probably over 100 times now.

post yfw stardust speedway in mania features time travel and all four versions of the acts with separate layouts

Just played through Sonic 1 real quick
Labyrinth is even shittier than I remember fuck that.
I don't understand why people say anything about about Marble Zone, it's perfectly fine. Well Act 3 got a little rough around the middle but otherwise it's a fun zone.
Also Sonic 1 has the best special stage.

In the middle of Sonic 2 now, it's amazing how fast it is compared to Sonic 1.

>>384550951
Are you thinking of Sonic Chrono Adventure? It's not a hack, but it's a metroidvania

>>384551987
Yeah, S3&K must be one of my most replayed games. As a kid I'd play it over and over again, maxing out all the available files.

>>384552050
Marble Act 3 has a shortcut that I always use that basically cuts out half the act.
Also well yeah, it introduced the spin dash.

Over the last few days I've 100% completed Sonic 1, 2, and CD, got all the time attack bonuses in CD, and I just wrapped up the last of my most recent Sonic 3 Complete playthroughs. I don't even know what the fuck I should do now to pass the time.

How is S3 Complete compared to normal S3&K stacked?

>>384551926
Why is Taxman so /fa/

I hope they show or just hint what the Sonic 3 rep zone is gonna be at Comic Con. That panel would be the place to reveal just one more thing.

>>384552296
Sonic 3 Complete feels like if Sonic 3 was always just one game and Sonic and Knuckles was always a part of it. Sonic 3 music for mini-bosses and stuff all the way through plus object layouts being the same as Sonic 3, example being Launch Base being hard like in Sonic 3 instead of being much easier in Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

>>384552224

>>384551913
thats because the majority of special stages are bad.
Sonic 1 special stages are a literal fever dream, and also a bit of an afterthought. Just difficult to control and no fun at all

Sonic 2 special stages are impossible if you're playing with tails behind you running into shit you already dodged 5 seconds ago

Sonic CD is shitty early 3D crap with poor hit detection and terrible controls

The ones in Sonic 3 are actually a pretty good mix of fairness and difficulty with how it progressively gets faster and more hectic the longer you play/the more BLUE SPHERE you GET

>>384553020
>it progressively gets faster and more hectic
Exactly why I hate Blue Spheres. Too fucking hectic and especially when the bouncing spheres start getting littered all over the place.

>>384553134
BING BING BING BING BING BING BING BING

>>384553134
All the Blue Sphere stages are very clearly structured, the bouncing spheres are hardly "all over the place". They're also by far the easiest of all the special stages.

>>384553134
thats where the skill comes in, need better eyes and faster thinking to succeed in 3, whereas in Sonic 1 it's shitty controls and literal fever dream level design, and in Sonic 2 it's Tails lagging behind you that causes you to lose

It's always fun blasting through Sonic 3 as Hyper Sonic. But if Super emeralds don't return in Mania, Do you think they'll at least give Super Sonic Hyper's abilities?

>>384555548
I think Hyper Sonic is probably gonna be in Mania. It's basically just building upon what kind of game Sonic 3 and Knuckles was, with also just replacing the insta-shield with the drop dash.

You are not a real man unless you have maxed the save files in S3&K Complete with Super Emeralds in the first half for every characters and Chaos Emeralds in the second half for every character.

It's sad because it's literally the longest running comic based on a video game. It's a record finally broken by itself.

I heard the Sonic 3D Blast's version of them on the Saturn was pretty good.

Looks like the Sega Classics thing on Steam, it was updated to have a room where you can choose games you've purchased and also play romhacks that are the on the Steam Workshop. When you choose a game you can choose various layouts for the screen, what's pictured is one of them.

Is Sonic Mania anything like Castle Mania?

>>384563589

Just play as solo Sonic senpai. Literally no reason to play with Tails unless you're playing the taxman remake.

>>384564462

Labyrinth is the only plausible option outside of an original stage.

>>384564738
If it's actually gonna be Labyrinth I'd expect it to liberally take from Hydrocity's level and object design.

Guys I have a stupid theory
Stardust Speedway is shown to be its Past incarnation in Mania, and we can assume that it'll stay Past until told otherwise. What I'm trying to say is What if Sonic Mania took place before/during Sonic CD?
Shit, if we're going to go even further, what if this is evidence that Mania's linked to forces in one way or another (time travel is how Classic Sonic came to forces)?

>>384555548
>>384555631
Super Emeralds coming back?
Hypest shit ever.

I would love it if Hyper Sonic finally returned, and if Super Tails and Super Knuckles returned, but I'm aware that SEGA has weird mandates like "only sonic/shadow/silver can go super" and "the Super Emeralds don't exist anymore" so I'm preparing for the worst. Hopefully Mania won't be subjected to Iizuka's tyranny.

I mentioned this before, if they have a game as long as 3K but don't have 14 collectables it will be very underwhelming.

>>384568032
I'm thinking that they might well have two different forms of collectibles in the game. Iizuka did mention a new kind of item after all, but it'd be weird not to have the Chaos Emeralds there.

You know how the bosses are split so that you get Eggman in old zones and heavies in new zones? Well, what if you get Chaos Emeralds in Giant Rings from old zones, and something brand-new in the new zones? I have no idea what function the new item would serve but I could see it happening.

>>384568438
Emeralds unlock Super Sonic, new items unlock the final zone. And if you have both you get the final final zone.

It's the same as Sonic 3& Knuckles but the coke is a vanilla coke and you get a Happy Meal toy.

>>384569045

>>384567715
Yes. The whole reason Ken Penders is sueing the pants off of Archie is because he wants to keep his echidna OC waifu all to himself. Literally a Chris-chan tier autist killed the comic.

>>384572717
>Sonic 4 is a good game
No it isn't.

>Proper meal
It's a burger chart you dolt. Not to mention CD plays fundamentally different than the main series with a focus on exploration, and thus it should be the "different" one. Making it the ultimate burger/cake combo is misleading because it is not "Sonic 2, but better" like S3&K is.

>>384552224
This hurts to look at, how can you play like this?

>>384572956
Yes, it is, just because it's not 1 on 1 does not mean it's not good, I mean for peat sake most sites give it a 7 out of 10 for crying out loud.

You can always grab a burger but a rib a fluffy chicken strip meal is once a month at best and games like S3&K don't show up very much.

Theres a reason why Nintendo not only has more of those but also Thanksgiving/X-Mas dinners you know.

>>384573281
>Appealing to gaming journalists and "most sites"
Yikes. Sonic 4 is dogshit, 3/10 at best, and the fact you're defending it is embarrassing.

Sonic 4 Episode 1 is a disgusting game to play, and there's nothing redeeming about it whatsoever. The visuals are ugly, the zones soulless rehashes, the music tortuous and Sonic himself moves like a truck through a swamp. Even the title screen is shit, it's like his face is saying "You're going to play this piece of garbage?" (in Smith's voice). It doesn't just stay there and die though, because some genius at Sonic Team thought it was a good idea to use the Invincibility jingle during the final moments of the Time Eater boss, which was already a complete blunder.

Episode 1 isn't even worth that. It deserves no mention at all; people should just forget that Episode 1 ever existed.

That's my combined score for all of "Sonic 4", if you average my most charitable possible rating for both games is 1/10 for episode 1 and 5/10 for episode 2 (I really don't enjoy playing it at all, but I do have to give it a higher score because it's much better than the dumpster fire that was the first episode)

Not really, it just uses some setpieces. The Mania map isn't even complete, that's just what one anon could stitch together from the footage we've seen.

>>384575181
Well it's like any of the returning zones in Mania. It uses the original zones kind of like a templete to do whatever they want with them, making them feel semi-new in the process while also creating completely new gimmicks for the Act 2s.

>>384576827

You need to make a shitpost style review after release praising the game and explaining why. That'd be much more entertaining than a huge segmented let's play.

Besides, I think on release most people will be actually playing the game rather than watching you play it.

Sonic CD's special stages get easier when you figure out there's an order to hit all the UFO's, if done right you can hit them all and never need to worry about extra time.

>>384577186
Or if you fuck up, keep getting the extra time UFO that always appears in the center at the last 30-20 seconds.

Chemical plant 2s soundtrack is honestly a little too good.

>>384578447
I think Episode 1 is a bit more Start Trek Into Darkness, considering how they both rehash things badly.

>>384578447

Nah, that fails because it implies S3K is the weakest of the classics and the start of the downfall.

>>384550346
We're probably going to get something Forces related instead since the last upload was a Mania track.

>>384578483
The music from 40sec onward sold me.

It's truly the best timeline at least until Net Neutrality dies. Sonic is finally going back to what he should be, hopefully Amy never, don't let me down Taxman

>>384579701
I heard Taxman doesn't even like Amy really.

>>384579701
>Cartoon Network kills Boom
Really? I thought the show was doing alright for itself given how many clips were on YT and enjoyed.

>>384579768
That's good. IT means fags who think she'll appear in Mania as a secret character will be in for a nasty surprise. Best part is that Sega is watching reception of Mania and Forces to see where to take the franchise from here and looking at the views on the official videos Mania's videos all have higher views, likes and positive comments.

>>384579894
Like everything that isn't Teen Titans Go! they're treating it very badly.

>>384579768
You keep saying this and then never provide proof, fuck off.

>>384579961
That's a bummer since the show was the one good thing the Boom reboot had going for itself. It wasn't amazing but it had its moments, more than the games can say anyway.

>>384577098

Wasn't the general a direct result of the original comics Ride? Also:

>it will improve now until they start coming out again

No, after the few threads of crying over the comic dying, it's going to stagnate and turn into a Sparkyposting cesspool until we get more games news, and then it'll revert back to more pointless "muh Classicfag vs Modernfag vs Adventurecuck" rhetorical shitposting for a time before going back to the usual 30 or so autists arguing and samefagging over nothing.

But what do you expect? It's /vg/.

>>384581537

I've also spared you from playing too many original Zones of questionable quality. Only the finest Sonic Team-made levels will do. You can thank me later.

Be sure to pre-order Sonic Forces though! I think you might be in for a real surprise when it comes to the story of these two games... ;)

Memes aside there would be a Sonic Mania without him.

Sonic Retro says he was a "Senior Game Designer" so it could have been anything. I'm leaning towards something unimportant like the gumball machine mini game.

They look like the kind of people that could just have a lets play channel and their little autistic fanbase that I'd probably be a part of.

>>384583097
Without his idea of mixing old zones with new zones we'd have the 1&2 remakes plus a small new game with probably 5/6 zones on Steam. Just another timeline that could've happened.

Taxman is the joker while Stealth is the straight man. It's perfect.

>>384582702
Iizuka has that kind of face that one loves to hate.

>>384583235
No, we'd the ports, and a Sonic 3 port with just a couple original zones added into that.

>>384583097
Yeah, I'm still taking that with a grain of salt. I have no reason not to trust Taxman, but I'm not as ready to buy anything Iizuka says. He's the master of PR bullshit.

I haven't played Sonic 4 but I've seen the horrendous physics and keep hearing that the first episode is a complete atrocity and episode 2 is ok.

Just wondering what makes episode 2 good compared to 1 because I don't know much about it. Pic unrelated

Is there something you don't like about Mania? I mean, you can't say it's a perfect Sonic game, there must be something that bothers you. Right? Right?!

>>384585196
Sonic 4 Episode 2 upped the visual quality, controls, level themes and music. Physics are still janky, but much more manageable. Still not very good though.

While in comparison, Sonic 4 Episode 1 is just a soulless rehash of Sonic 1 and 2 in basically everything.

The original was better, Sonic 4 is garbage, and Sonic CD should have that Japanese aesthetic with the ramen, Pepsi, and teriyaki burger.

>>384586414
They're fully embracing everything about the Sonic fanbase with this game, from the OCs to the edgy AMVs.

>>384586409
other boostshit games at least had good music, this one's soundtrack is just crap

>>384556783
I've never played a sonic rom hack before and don't know where to begin. How do I get this running on my pc?

>>384586414
It's like the music from Shadow the Hedgehog but 10x the edge. It's magical in a way.

>>384586409
I don't mind really.
I just wish we could have more Sonic CD and Sonic R music.

Sonic 3 Complete is literally just a rom you play in your emulator of choice.

>>384586670
Download the rom, download Genesis Plus or other emulator, then drag and drop the rom onto the emulator, easy.

>not separating sonic boom from the Wii U and 3ds version
Shit
The 3ds games are good and made by a different team
Don't bring them down god damn it I bet you didn't even play the game

>>384586409
It's fine, I just dont like 3D sanic much
>>384586414
I like to think sonic team are self aware as to how cheesy it is but then again...

>>384586783
Needs a new one with Infinity at the top.

>>384586670
Google "Kega Fusion"
download it from Sonic Retro
google "Sonic 3 Complete" (add ROMhack for good measure)

If anything, Mania will prove that Sonic in general doesn't need to die, it's just thats constantly being fucked over by its horribly incompetent developers.

Sonic Team is the Sony Pictures of the gaming world. Just nothing but putrid shit and bad decisions across the board. In that case, Sonic Mania is a lot like Spiderman Homecoming, both the best thing to happen to their respective series in a long time, but only because SEGA and Sony got help from outside talent.

Daily reminder that even CANCELLED Sonic the Hedgehog games have amazing music.

Daily reminder that this is Mania's special stage, search your hearts.

Anon, usually people (even on /v/) say the only good bits of the newer Sonic games are it's music. As someone who prefers Classic Sonic but still enjoys some of the newer games I find the music in Forces to be pretty fucking weak so far and that main theme for Infinite I don't mind being edgy as fuck but it sounds really generic.

>>384586898
The post you quoted actually does separate them.

>>384585083
Sonic and the black knight is a GOOD game!

>>384586427
Once again, fixed.

Thanks for the heads up.
>>384586898
I did just that.
>The other 2 Sonic Boom games.

>>384587118
Actually it makes sense, since sonic xtreme was supposed to be a saturn game.

>>384561621
>sonic heroes
>3 coke zeroes and some fruit pies

laughed, then agreed. CD should be pepsi crystal, a McDLT, and a side of pop rocks.

The only good music in forces is the Main Theme and the vocals ruin it

>generations releases
>best sonic game since 1994
>suddenly shit because a better game is releasing

mania contrarians are the worst, at least give the only good 3D sonic credit where it's due

>>384587403

Sorry phone posting is hell
I was supposed reply to you about the season 1&2 thing about the bantering between characters

DmC Donte is definitely edgier than Reaper. Overwatch doesn't even have fucking blood, whereas Donte's got the edgiest intro scene ever.

>>384586191
Isn't Sonic 4 mainline?

>>384587538
You do realise /v/ isn't one person, right? There are multiple people here with opinions, so lets say if.. three anons hate on generation, that doesn't mean ALL of /v/ hate it

Generations is a okay game, classic in it felt unneeded but it was cute

>>384587895
