Help me decide, anons. I have the Collector's Edition preordered for $44. Should I cancel and get the digital for $18?

I just...like really enjoy Sonic and the stuff it comes with is really cool.

>>384810494
None of whatever your pic related is. It looks like shitty fanfiction.

>>384810871
You should keep the collectors edition

>>384810871

What exactly are we helping you with here

>>384809650
Just because there's always a likely chance someone's going to be an asshole doesn't mean you have to be that asshole.

>>384810494
I want to see a fresh slate with the games as the main base this time. The Archie universe had a good enough run, but I want them to do something different with this new series.

>>384810871
What even is this as a question? Did you just word it badly?

If you enjoy it...keep... it? I don't even know, that box art alone is worth the collectors edition

I fucking WISH this shit had a physical with this glorious art

>>384811371
They had an almost quarter century run. The fact they survived as long as they did is an incredible feat as SEGA has moved Sonic far away from the original western direction. I'll miss them, but I think it's time to move on.

>>384811505

Wow, my order updated with the new price and is only around $50 with one-day shipping. I'm so buying the Mania vinyl too in that case.

>>384811558
The only characters I truly feel are "lost" are ones that debuted in games anyway, so they have a chance of coming back in the new adaption.

>>384809213
Sonic Mania may have good gameplay, but its music is totally out of Forces' League.

Canon double dip list.

Scrap brain [no other choice]

Oil Ocean, won't be aquatic because that comes right after Chemical Plant and would be silly. Won't be Mystic cave because there is already a ninja theme forest hard boil heavy zone coming.

100% Hydrocity for Sonic 3, if you think other wise you're insane. Double dip for Sonic 3 will be Icecap, they'll sort the music rights out with baxter or w/e the fuck his name is, fuck MJs lawyers etc.

Sonic and Knuckles double dip will be Sky Sanc, remember generations. You know lizuka is forcing them in. It SHOULD be Lava Reef, but it won't.

CD won't double dip.

>>384817983
Forgot about Hill Top for Sonic 2, but I shouldn't even need to tell you why it won't be that.

>>384817743
A little burnt out on 3K on the moment but I'll give it a shot next time I'm in the mood.

>>384817419
Honestly, I kind of love the idea of open-world treasure hunting / collectathon in Sonic. It just has to be distributed to multiple characters, so I can take my time messing with the physics each character has to offer.

You know. Sonic Utopia.

So when are we supposed to get new info today?

We haven't seen Amy in the slightest so far, if you're asking due to the OP image that's a strip from the Sonic Mega Drive comic but cropped into a wallpaper.

>>384817983
I still say the water spray bottle in Mirage Saloon Act.2 isn't like the blue things in S&K's Death Egg.

Tonights trailer is going to make one certain anon who posts in these threads very happy!!

>>384818663
>>384818770


LITERAL. DESTINY. it is happening.

>>384818531
That's a good way of looking at it I suppose. If someone could do the format better than Adventure I'd be willing to give it a shot. I'm not opposed to exploration in the slightest. I think my biggest gripe is the structure of "You're almost there. Getting warmer." feel the emerald detector gives off.

>>384814796
whatever it is, i would love to see that sega is financing the Retroengine as a middleawre solution for hobbyists/developers like the UE or Gamemaker.

this is too good to be used for only a few people like ubiart.

I'm 99.99% sure it's up to Taxman if he wants to release the engine for the public to use, since he made it.

>I just can't see the point of playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles 2.
It's S3&K but more

>>384819386
Didn't care for them myself, but bosses are a relatively small part of the whole package so it's nothing game ruining for me.

>>384819386
I like them, some of the most fun boss fights in the series.

>>384819386
Loved them from a boss design standpoint, but I didn't like how angled surfaces could mess up your timed jumps so much.

>>384817983
>Won't be Mystic cave because there is already a ninja theme forest hard boil heavy zone coming.

There is no hard evidence for this other than a japanese level was fielded in concept and the silhouette of the heavy could be holding a shuriken, or not

I miss Classic Amy's design so fucking much, it's adorable, especially in that humanized image.

>>384819386
I like the idea of running bosses at times but making them all it isn't something I particularly like. If they're used sparingly like in Sonic 3 & Knuckles where you only see it happen at Mushroom Valley Act.2 and technically the fake final boss I'd be fine with it, plus if it's used sparingly then that boss stands out to me more as something memorable.

>>384819476
You play it for fun since it's adding new abilities, mechanics, levels, music, bosses & etc, basically it's expanding upon the classic series like a successor should.

>>384819386
they are okaysh, my favorite fights are the ones that have a good arena that allows you to git gudthought, think of Casino Night Zone boss

The sonic cycle of announcement->hype->new gimmicks->disappointment->hunger is broken if there's no new things added :^)

Really though, every time they tried making a new sonic game, it was a disappointment,I guess its not stupid to try the old again.

>>384821569
Iiuzuka still has some directive control so Taxman and co don't have much choice. However, they
are gaining momentum and freedom for what they can do. If Mania sells well, they'll likely get to create another game with more, if not all, original stages. It's building up trust and the Mania devs have a good track record to show for it with the 1, 2, and CD mobile ports with enhanced options, soundtrack choices, and releasing previously scrapped ideas such as Hidden Palace in Sonic 2.

It was fun. Couple TVs set up with Smash, Pokemon Stadium, and a few people brought out their Switches when the N64 with SNAP wasn't working, along with a few different DJs and a big screen playing various clips from the anime and Origins.

>>384811271
I kind of agree with this, but with that said, I liked how the comics just introduced a shit ton of characters from different media and made them all work in the same universe. The brought back Breezy and Wendy Witchcart for fucks sake, and it worked.
Base it off the game world, but still incorporate characters from all the different media.

>>384822901
I don't see it as the same still, the spray bottle pushes Sonic's momentum forward & can run out completely after activating it, the blue dot path doesn't effect his momentum and activates & deactivates repeatedly. If anything those are more of an upgrade of the blocks that disappear & reappear in Scrap Brain Zone.

ETA?

>>384823193
Yeah and chemical plant zone's syringes have no similarity to the original bouncing floor. But there's no reason to think that they can't improve gimmicks if they have ideas.

I'm not sure if that's right about the soda pushing sonic forward. We don't know if the player is holding left.

But it's blue soda bubbles instead of blue orbs. They used it the same way completing a half loop on the ceiling. Activation by the player and being on a timer is trivial.

I'm not saying they can't but I don't think those have any ties, I feel like you're only typing them together since it can go at an arc & the water is thin similar to the dots in S&K's Death Egg Zone graphically when mechanically speaking they do differ.

>I'm not sure if that's right about the soda pushing sonic forward. We don't know if the player is holding left.
Here's a webm of that.

>Activation by the player and being on a timer is trivial.
It is not since if you don't make it in time you missed your chance on going on that upper path and you get no chance of redoing it.

I don't mean to come off as if it's a big deal if I am by the way, I'm just giving my opinion as well.

>>384824215
I only say that since like the blocks that vanish & reappear in Scrap Brain the blue dots do the same but instead of being plain blocks that are flat they also go at an arc. It's barely a thing but if we had to make any comparisons those feel more alike to me.

My best advice on shooting them down? Use a gun. But seriously I will make a video about how the classic Sonic games are structured a little by an arcade mentality of replaying the game to become better at it and get a more fulfilling experience, something that Sega always tended to let inform their games back in the day and still do to an extent. This leads a lot of people to say it has bad game design because THEY are bad at the games. I find the classic Sonic games reward skillful play far more than your typical Mario game... That's right, Mariocucks BTFO...

Classic Sonic rewards grind monkeys memorizing whole stages. Beyond that, there's nothing.

Just compare a Sonic speedrun to Lost Levels. You'll see all sorts of improvisation to dodge random patterns in Mario, meanwhile Sonic is always the same shit. All that matters is if you can get a pixel-perfect glitch or a frame perfect jump.

If you consider that skill, then well, I won't belittle you. But Sonic isn't as popular as Mario for a reason.

This.
When Mania first got announced I figured it was a good time to actually check out Sonic as a series, as I never played any Sonic games but always wanted to try the classics.
I was getting frustrated when playing Sonic 1, because I was at this point in Marble Zone where I had to jump over lava, but for some reason my jump height/momentum was fucked.
Eventually I realized that the angle of the slope was changing how I jumped, and started playing with it instead of fighting it.
By the time I got to Sonic 3&K, I was having a lot of fun, both because of Sonic 3&K being the best classic game and because I had a good grasp of the physics.

Hopefully Taxmann and stealth can make a synthesis of the two

"We have a very rare opportunity to work closely with Sonic Team, especially Iizuka-san and Oshima-san, and they've been providing us a lot of guidance through the process and so, they're making sure we don't go off the rails and do something that doesn't feel like Sonic."

In other words, lizuka is holding back Mania team from going full fucking Mania, because he is a hack.

>>384828586
Second. Only found an old article about preloading guessing it will probably vary from game to game, but it recommends putting the console on standby mode a few days before release to catch any preload window.

>>384835197
Those motherFUCKERS are the reason we're not getting Super Emeralds and probably won't even get a Super Knuckles or Super Tails. If it was up to The Taxman I guarantee not only would they include Hyper Sonic (and Knux/Tails) but they'd probably even find a way to make a new transformation that's even more fucking radical.

>>384832735
All they had to do was bring back the "Berry" flavor for Sonic's bottle. Haven't had it in years.

>>384814749
I think Taxman (or someone else working on Mania, I forget) said that there will be 3&K-esque cutscenes, but it doesn't rule out an opening and ending animation like CD

Who says they couldn't let Super Tails and Knuckles exist with the Chaos Emeralds alone? It is the Classic world after all.

This guy. Super Knuckles and Tails are what you saw in Heroes' Last Story according to him.

>>384835513
Super Emeralds were a one time thing, they won't be needed for Tails/Knuckles' super forms. If they want to put them in they'll be in.

>>384835825
Tails is too young to transform with the Chaos Emeralds alone in the Classic games, so unless there's some massive Dragon Ball Super-tier asspull, I highly doubt Taxman includes him. Same with Super Emeralds.

>>384810494
Just the game characters, anybody who didn't appear in a game can fuck off.

Sonic Mania is shaping up to be a great game, but I just have a feeling deep down in my gut that the second half of the game will pull a Sonic 2 and drop in quality.
I'm so conflicted, please sooth me /v/

>Infinite theme at over half a million views
>Hard Boiled Heavies not even at 200,000
It's getting more because people are making fun of it and memeing it into the ground right? Right!?

So even if the stream won't go up until later, we'll get the news, right?

>>384836404
DON'T FUCKING JINX IT YOU CUTE LITTLE HEDGEHOG!

>>384836435
I'm sure someone will take video or photos and upload it to twitter or something.

>>384836407
Probably.

>but I just have a feeling deep down in my gut that the second half of the game will pull a Sonic 2 and drop in quality.
I have the seem feeling in the back of my head honestly. I have faith in the Taxman, but some of the level design i've seen for Stupiopolis has kinda given me that feeling. Still, here's hoping to be worried over nothing.

>>384836407
a single track, vs a full blown cutscene which as you said, is being meme'd in the floor

200k is pretty damn good

>>384836407
I have bad news...

>>384836639
>a full blown cutscene
I'm talking about the separate track upload. Not the cutscene.

Stop. Lets be optimistic.

>>384836407
HAHAHA THIS JUST PROVES HOW MUCH MORE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT FORCES THAN MANIA JAHAHABA

>>384836725
People probably went to theme after watching the cutscene to see how it is.

>>384836725
I get what you're saying, but the hard boiled is just a music track with no context, infinite theme has a cutscene and a whole lotta memeing behind

>>384836407
Tails' dialogue had me in tears

>"Woah, this guy is faster than Sonic!"
>"These energy readings are all messed up!"

>>384836407
Forces is banking on memes and autism, it'll always win. You cannot stop Forces, it is the red button behind 5000 locks that sega has unleashed onto the world, THE ORIGINAL OC.

>>384836864
NICE

It looks like they are having entering the special stages being the same as in 3&K, is this a good or bad thing?

>>384836758
I'd be more optimistic if your black keys didn't spook me so much.

You guys ready to see this in Mania?

>>384837047
Good because it encourages exploration and gitting good to actually get to most of the big rings.
Potentially bad because the first few zones of the game are going to be exactly the same on replays for people who rush the emeralds every time since there will be an superior route to get them all quickly.

>>384837393
Some homeless guy that they made a mascot

>>384837393
Taxman.

>>384837047
it's the best way, it rewards exploration and path optimization if you want to get SS early, and are completely out of the way if you want to ignore them. Checkpoint poles give you the bonus stages still but you don't feel like shit if you speed past one

>>384810847
So this is what the new lynel looks like? Huh... Neat.

>>384837047

Going for the emeralds was the games hard-mode before 3&K, now its just a thing to get super sonic. I like the exploration of finding the giant rings though.
