I wish they finally show the special stage. We still don't know what it was.

>>384595665
I just want them to release high quality rips of the music, I can only listen to Studiopolis Act.1 for so long and like Mirage Saloon Act.2's music has been updated since we originally heard it, there's also the mini-boss & boss themes which sound sexy but no one has made a clean rip of those yet. I know it's only 25 days but I really am yearning for that music now.

>>384596915
I want them to release more of Stardust Speedway just already.

Daily reminder that Sonic 06 Episode 2 WILL outsell this just because it has a physical.

>>384598529
This will probably be the case but I still feel it'll sell decently due to it being $20 and I'm expecting better review scores than Forces which will influence others decisions on getting it.

Anything to discuss?

>>384609503
yes? they're still remasters

What's with the "no physical no buy" shitposts? I could understand if this was a gull priced game but it's only $20. Plus, going by Cave Story+ on the switch, a physical version would only make the price of the game increase.

This game has to double dip because what >>384603681 said. So consider hydrocity to be very likely.

>>384609406
Act 2. Act 1 remix is way better, feels closer to the original.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9vvIB-sGjk

The bit at 0:33 is too high for example.

>>384608667
That's Marble zone. Marble Garden zone is even more hated and the music isn't great either.

so whats the deal with this? just took fanmade levels and made it into an official game?

>>384609745
they're not really interesting remasters, though, lopes only get crazy in act 2
i understand they needed to stay close to the originals for act 1 but i kinda wish both acts were in the style of act 2 for classic zones

No. Shut up.

>>384609503
I like the idea as a safety. If you like faithful music, you can listen to Act 1. If you want what TL thinks is best for the song, you can listen to Act 2.

The problem is I hope they didn't go out of their way to make Act 1 and 2 distinct from each other just for the sake of being different. For example, I like Act 2 of chemical plant better, but there's a few things that it should've shared Act 1's interpretation of. But songs could be so similar that it defeats the purpose of having a unique mix per act.

>>384610014
it's a game built from grounds up by people with strong positions within classic sonic community (pretty much the cream of the crop), being previously involved in shit like sonic 2 hd and official cd/1/2 ports; physics are more accurate to original than anything sonic team has done since advance 1 because autists got them figured out to a single byte
it contains new zones as well as original ones with revamped assets, where act 1 is closer to original in design and act 2 strays away from it
someone will probably post the huge ass inforgraphic soon but that's the gist of it

I know about the double dipping but I'm not fully convinced that having a mechanic or 2 automatically throws that level out, I sure hope it does though since I never liked Labyrinth beyond music unlike Hydrocity which is my favorite zone in the Classics.

>>384609826
>The bit at 0:33 is too high for example.

Like pitch? What do you mean.

I hear the new resonating trumpet at that part. That's the best part of the remix and it's so good I re-imagined that it was in the original track and was surprised when it wasn't.

I feel the same way on a case by case basis. Some gimmicks are a big part of a level's identity and they would only use it in a stage we've seen so far if we weren't going to see it in another part of the game.

As far as labyrinth is concerned, the only other thing it has is water slides and the part where the current grabs you sends you through obstacles. Both of those are in hydrocity and it's one of the most popular zones ever, and one of the acts has top tier music. Meanwhile labyrinth is the most hated zone in S1.

>>384603681
Maybe, just maybe, the 60/40 ratio information was wrong, outdated, or changed over time.

It's only been 4 months since that news was revealed, I doubt it's outdated or has been changed over time. I guess the Sega rep could be wrong on that ratio though, but I doubt it since the ratio seems fair to me & goes with what Iizuka said months prior.

>>384611618
He's saying "about: so that implies uncertainty, or maybe some one-act levels like Sky Chase are returning.

>>384611024
It's from destructoid's article dated March 10th

>The Sega rep told us that the game is about 60 percent remixing levels from past Sonic games and about 40 percent using ideas that are new or that were never implemented back then.

If it's 1 new zone for every hard boiled heavy, excluding the possibility of a 6th new zone as the final zone, having 1 remixed zone from each sonic game is 50/50. And "new ideas" is vague and could apply to new ideas added to old zones.

Anyway if the sega rep was wrong, they need to clear it up at the panel this weekend because right now 2 returning classics per game is cementing in our minds.

The one thing shitty modern sonic games have going for them is there are only other shitty sonic games to compare them to in recent memory. When mania hits and sells a shitload of copies, the retarded dog and blind pony show is over.

Really? She was great in Advance 1 and those mods for her on PC. Hitting a spring with a hammer to go flying or demolishing a boss with it is fucking satisfying.

I love the Act 2 remix a lot too.

If there is no level select and debug cheats it might as well be a modern sonic game.

>>384622041
dude, the "press any button" text at the title is a reference to sonic 1's unused press start text. you think they'd miss something as obvious as LS/debug?

I dislike you.

How does everyone expect Mania to sell?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog#Sales

It's on a lot of platforms, but there's no physical release, so moms aren't boosting this one.

Also what is the single most baffling sales result in your opinion? For me it's how Sonic Unleashed almost sold as much as Adventure shortly after the disaster of Sonic 06.

>>384624504
>For me it's how Sonic Unleashed almost sold as much as Adventure shortly after the disaster of Sonic 06.
That demo man.

Anyways, I think Mania will be a critical and financial success, though I don't know if it'll do better than Forces.

>>384624356
WHAT THE FUCK IS IN THE HOLE?

>>384624648

Probably nothing. Taxman said you can't fall down it, but he has to mean immediately upon defeating the boss because you could clearly jump in it before popping the animal capsule.

It's probably just a level transition where eggman flies out and shit happens.

I hate they keep showing Forces news and not Mania news.

>>384627651
It's because the audience is already bought on Mania, they're NOT bought on Forces, hence which a shift in information. Just because the youtube comments seem to love Forces, most people are laughing at it, instead of with it, seeing as it is a obvious step down from Unleashed/Generations.

When was the last time you played Sonic 2 anon? Played all 3 recently, had this exact mindset, as soon as you get to oil ocean that entire game goes to shit.

Real talk though, I would want Oil Ocean in Mania, but MANIAFIED and actually made good, the concept is there, but I feel Sonic2 messed it up a little. If we get any level, ESPECIALLY any of the badniks from Metropolis from Sonic 2, I'm jumping off a bridge. oh fuck if those green grass hopper fucks show up in Mania

name me a worse zone then metropolis, you can't

It's just Oil Ocean and Metropolis that's bad, and Metropolis isn't too bad all the time either. Sky Chase and Wing Fortress are great.
I played through 1 & 2 last night and as far as bad zones in the series goes, Labyrinth takes the cake easily. Marble Garden is probably second worst, I had to stop there last night. If I saw another bouncing mace or stupid top that leads you into one of those blue spiked flies, I would have lost it.

The Collector's Edition doesn't include a physical version either, just a download code on a special metallic card.

>>384609787
Studiopolis and Labyrinth aren't even remotely similar in terms of theme or gameplay, why should a single stage element from Labyrinth being in Studiopolis deconfirm it?
For all we know those moving platforms are only even in Studiopolis because they already programmed them in Labyrinth and were like "hey why not put these here too"

>>384610528
>I'm not fully convinced that having a mechanic or 2 automatically throws that level out
Why else would they take a gimmick/enemy from a different zone (most of the time from a different game entirely) and put it in a fitting stage if they choose to include the original stage as well? That would completely kill variety and be completely pointless.

I don't know if its an absolute and no exceptions exist, but It's pretty established in the classic sonic games that gimmicks are unique to a stage and that two or more levels won't use the same gimmick in the same game. This is also true for mania from what we've seen so far. They are also selective about what gimmicks they use, so it seems they care about this kind of thing.

If this game sells a shit load, hopefully Sega just give them full reigns on the sequel and we get an entire game based off new levels and some of the maddest shit to ever touch the Sonic 2d world, stuff that would make your child version of you do a back flip into moving traffic at how much you couldn't comprehend what the FUCK you were looking at.

Yeah it had a few actually.
One was a real time strategy game for PC. That was the one I had and I played the shit out of as a kid.
Another was for the PS1 a action game, don't know much about it. I think it also came out on PC.
And the last was a Gameboy game, that was a platformer. When I saw it at the store I thought it was a GBA game and was going to be a portable version of the PC one, so the choice was hard. It's a real good thing I didn't buy it though because it really wouldn't have been worth it.

SO THE HOLE IS MADE BY MICROPRESSING THE JUMP BUTTON BY 1/16TH OF ITS NORMAL VALUE ON THE FINAL FRAME OF THE FINAL BOSS OF FINAL FEVER.

THE HOLE THEN APPEARS ON YOUR NEXT LOOP OF SONIC MANIA

Okay I'm bored of this now, while I have the emulator open and my controller connected are there any good Genesis/Mastersystem/Cd games that aren't Sonic?

Dragon Road and whatsitcalled from Colors

>>384640108
Probably because you always go full speed during that section. Purposely stop midway and watch the game flip out as it unsuccessfully tries to segue from regular gameplay to an automated loop.

>>384641109
You're right, Christian Weston Chandler should replace stealth

why does Stealth look like he's touched more kids than Tweaker?

>>384636574
>>384641254
In the official Japanese Sonic Mania website it says that the level is different with Knuckles. Could it be because his boss is The Boys (those dudes)?

>>384641403
he sounds pure as fuck if you listen to his voice. i just wouldn't fuck him.

So yeah, I'm just going to be miserable until the game comes out. It's about all I'm looking forward to. Last bunch of game purchases have been a bust. Sorry Tekken 7, Sorry Vanquish. Sorry One Way Heroics+. You're all bad.

You're a man of taste but I have the SNES version right behind me and can't justify that purchase without some online multi,
which it lacks.

I mean, some opinions should just be punishable by death.

Slightly jelly. Couldn't justify buying Wild Guns years ago when it was a lot cheaper because cash was tight and now I can't justify buying it because blowing $200+ on it is grossly overestimating how frequently I'd play it.
A game at that price would have to be something I'd want to play non-stop for months.

Sucks for you because it's a stellar remake.

>>384640995
It would need to be heavily overhauled, and especially the Ep 1 levels will need to be changed A LOT, or just completely different, but I think it could be salvageable in a way that would please SEGA/Sonic Team as well as the fan base. Many of the actual ORIGINAL gimmicks and ideas from both episodes could translate really well if thought through correctly.
I can think of a few off the top of my head - the boulder in Ep 1 that you run on could play kinda like the spinning tops from Marble Garden, for example.

You are comparing a classic styled 2D game with physics exactly, if not better than the original games and is clearly though with an edgefest of shitty boost gameplay, a DeviantArt sim (Bob Ross would be fucking disappointed) and a story full of asspulls combined with the most edgy villain of a videogame ever created. Fuck Iikuza.

aside from shitposting, general mania discussion is pretty uniformly hype and on point.

it's when the hole is brought up that the autism comes out regarding hydrocity and angel island geography in relation to green hill zone
