Last night's panel summary

After years of playing the Genesis of Sonic 3D Blast, I realized the Saturn version is sensibly different.
Which is the best way to play the Saturn version without owning a Saturn? Is the Steam version the Saturn one or not?

I had fun putting the people in these threads into a war zone over my fake leak.

Honest to god I didn't get a booklet early, it was just a mix of saying what everyone else was and insanely good luck. Like, I actually just guessed that.

It took me over 2 hours to sketch out that leak so I'm glad my autism paid off and it got attention.

I didn't expect to accidentally predict things like that.

It was fun(ny), but I don't want to be the reason people expect way too much for this game because i accidentally guessed a few things correctly. I am sorry.

I am just as excited for the game as everyone else is. So much that i literally can't play anything else because of my anticipation for it.

But on't get your expectations THAT high. Still, have faith in the team. This is going to be the game of the year for sure. Until next time anons. It was a fun time. Enjoy the game. Cheers <3 ~

It looks good but I'm not sure if it could hit that sweet spot that Sonic 3 did for me. Like how Warped is virtually identical to Crash Bandicoot 2 but feels shittier.

>>384879318
a month or 2 ago there was a guy claiming he was a "beta tester" and he mentioned a forest level with sakura flowers. i just thought of putting that in my leak and then remembered the leaked cathedral screenshot and remembered the sakura-looking flowers in that, so i decided to just bullshit it and say something about how thats the second act and the first one is outside of it. I was laughing so hard when i found out that what i said was actually real but i started feeling bad when people were getting their hopes up that high because of this, because i dont want people to be disappointed because of me. same goes for the special stage thing and the castle thing being proved to be actually in the game. I felt bad.

>>384879151
I'm actually sad how easy it was to guess the Castle and Sakura place based on those themed Heavies. If I had a hat I'd eat it if the Mace Heavy's level isn't a Medieval level of some kind (Considering Classic has never had a castle themed stage besides Marble)

Though the magician is up in the air. What kind of shit would suit a Magician? Why isn't there a Cowboy Heavy?

>Sonic Mania is going to be an amalgamation of everything that made Sonic's humble beginnings so great and will be the greatest game of the series in years
This only serves to further solidify that Sonic lost his way the moment he entered the third dimension. Even his best games were shaky in several aspects. The old games were far from perfect, but this is speaking volumes.

>>384880098
Either Saloon's cape or the mace on is likely riding something.

Mania being great won't stop 3&K from still being the best 90s game. And remember Mania is actually the now canon sequel to 3&K.

Hard Boiled Heavies really is a great way to continue from the plot point of the self-aware Egg Robo in Knuckles' route of S3&K.

I enjoyed Heroes a lot years ago as well. A lot of people say it's bad cause the controls are slippery and playing through every story is just the same levels again, but both things didn't bother me too much. Aside from maybe the Chaotix mission based shit.

Hype is off the charts. My only concern is that modern players won't "understand" the game. I have very little faith in modern players and hence I'm afraid the game will sell under SEGA's expectations.

If your computer can support DirectX 9.0c you should be fine.

So this game is about as long as 3&K, but there's no super emeralds?
Seems like you'd end up getting all the emeralds early in the game without really trying and being left with little reason to keep searching for special stage rings.

>>384884649
I have a feeling there's another collectable in the wings that aren't the emeralds.

>>384884649

Hype :
Everything Revealed So Far
The possibility that we could get 3D Blast Zones in 2D
Concerns:
No Super Emeralds might mean no Super Form for Knux and Tails
May be filled with too many old zones whose archetypes are really common
That it won't sell well.

I feel like that won't be enough to get most people to spring for a 60 dollar purchase based on some internet jokes. Especially when compared to Mania, a $20 title with retro cred.

...Or maybe I'm foolishly underestimating the power of character creator memes.

the thing is...Forces probably won't flop. The plot is pandering so much to the ironic meme crowd there's no doubt it's bound to sell and you bet all the lets play channels like Game Grumps will play it just to praise the humor for "admitting the franchise is fucking horrible". Gameplay wise it looks extremely mediocre. Basic boost modern Sonic, shitty classic sonic, and OC gameplay that doesn't look fun to play at all. That's one out of the three gameplay styles that looks decent. At least we've got Mania though, this would be rough without it.

I'm excited and I don't really have any concerns other than obvious levels like the last few being rushed like most 2D games are and falling flat in the level design department.

What if one of the new zones is Egg Garden from Retro Sonic, Taxman's first game using the engine he built (and later updated for the ports and Mania)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwhMdAK8Tt0

>>384882812
3&K had 14 zones, some of which were only one act long. Mania has been confirmed to be the biggest classic Sonic game ever, and now they compared it's length to 3&K which means that yes, that statement was referring to 3&K as one complete game as opposed to two shorter separate halves.

>>384889079
14 Zones with 3 that were only 1 act long. Mind you Knuckles fight with Mecha Sonic is referred to as Sky Sancuary Act 2 and Lava Reef's boss is long enough to be it's own level.

I don't like that Sonic has to be cyan but at least they're consistently using weird and off colors that the older games wouldn't have used as Mania does, to stylize their game so it doesn't look so bad.

Why has Sega not released the SonicRetro mobile ports of Sonic1, SonicCD and Sonic2 on more platforms? What is their excuse? Bundle them together as a Sonic Collection or something.

>>384891503
Yea, I've listened to this one - its awesome.

>>384892935
CD is on PC and consoles, but 1 and 2 are only on mobile. 3&K doesn't have a port at all.

>>384893074
3&K is on PC. But that's about it.

>>384892935
I hope they still haven't done it because they don't want to steal Mania's thunder and that they will get ported after it comes out.

>>384891173

>>384893129

Sega could re-release Sonic Advance with SA2B/SADX connectivity for the Switch or something. It was neat how they integrated that functionality. SA1 and SA2 deserve better updates than Sega sold to the fans as a cheap cash grab.

Go ahead and plug your ears.

>>384893757
Can't be as bad as Sonic the Hedgehog for GBA.

>>384893457
I usually get the last emerald in act 2 of hydrocity just before you run into knuckles. But I just found a new giant ring so that last ring just before knuckles is no longer my final emerald.

>>384893757
It's not the best collection of the classic games. Taxman remakes will forever be best.

>>384893480
Mega Collection and Gems Collection were better

>>384893895
I would on Switch.

>>384893908
Of course not, Classic Collection uses emulation, so it's much closer to the original game

>>384893973
Those are basically the gold standard for Sonic collections. Fucking annoying way to unlock Sonic 3 and Knuckles though.

That being said, yes, Forces will sell better than Mania and we can't do anything about it.

>>384894147
>>384894207
Literally no point in crying about it.

>>384894401
There is a point, actually.
If Mania doesn't sell well enough, especially compared to Forces, SEGA might pull the plug all all future 2D Sonci projects once for all.
It's a miracle we got Mania after Sonic 4's blunder. It won't repeat twice.

>>384894529
They're releasing months and months apart so they don't stand on each other's toes. Mania's numbers don't even need to be that high to get back the money spent on production and then some.

>>384894401

Forces and Mania are literally fighting for survival.

That said, there is a slight possibility that Sega won't be retarded and will run both franchises.

>>384879052
>chase down a ufo to get chaos emerald
>get spheres to increase speed
Why the fuck is this allowed? Sonic CD and fucking Sonic Heroes? The two absolute worst special stages to have suffered through.

Well, doesn't matter much since unlike Heroes there'll probably be a debug/level select so you probably won't be locked out of beating the game when it's nearly unbeatable. Still was really hoping for something like Sonic 1's special stage but with more stuff, maybe in 3D somehow.

>>384878831
It will once Mania comes out

>>384882812

Sonic 3 and Knuckles is 12 zones roughly. Don't forget that Mania also has 3 characters (.....maybe even more, if we're lucky), so replay value will be pretty high.

The very definition of "indie" is "indipendent", which means making a game without the need of a publisher.
Mania is funded and published by SEGA itself. So no, it's not indie in the slightest. Just because it is a 2D platformer with a low price, it doesn't mean it is indie.

Half pipe would be fun if it wasn't unfair, has the best music out of the 3 though.
Blue spheres has the goal to send you back all over the place which wouldn't be bad if it didn't get so fast.
Sonic 1 is the truly fun one. Making one mistake doesn't ruin you like in blue spheres, and it doesn't require you to memorize the stage like half pipe. You control the rotation of the the board but it not like you control everything making it too easy, you have to work to get to it. The goal circles are all in one place which you can actually stay away from with skill, unlike half pipe and blue spheres it doesn't force you into the danger zone regardless of your skill. Basically it's the only one that isn't bullshit.

Plus it looks and feels the coolest, at least that aspect seems to be in Mania's special stage though.

>>384895917
sonic 1 stages require no skill whatsoever. They are braindead, just right for a game that gives you the opportunity to try them only at the end of a level and where the chaos emerald give no bonus.
Sonic CD stages are the best, because they control sort of like the main game but in pseudo 3d, without forcing movement like S2 or bluesphere which are still superior to the garbage of S1

Apart of me feels like this game would do better financially if Generations didn't already come out and do the "old levels remixed" thing Mania is doing. Granted Mania is doing it better but the general public might see it as a "been there, done that" type of thing.

>implying Generations wasn't basically new zones
When the zone is in a new dimension and a different layout and is the same in name only it's new

>>384879151
Ok so perhaps the one who talked about the Stardust Speedway act 2 really was a dev who tried to kill a fake leak like someone said in a previous thread.

>>384897083
This isn't about quality, I'm talking about sales. It's baffling that Mania is getting so much hype and praise yet Forces has more than twice the views. Seems like more people are willing to take a shot in the dark because Forces plot is intentionally shitty than play a good Sonic game. The meme is bigger than the franchise it seems

>>384879151
>naming a level after a jewish place of worship

they wouldn't do that out of fear of offending people

>>384897461
As another anon said, most of the views forces got are from people that hate Sonic and wanted to look at the video to laugh at it.
Generallly speaking, youtube views=/=sales.

>>384897556
But even so, a lot of people in here believed it.

Another thing you're all forgetting, a giant thing, infact. The general audience do not know that act 2's are remixed to all fuck, because of poor marketing style, half of them don't even know a new Sonic game is coming out [mania, i mean] they all think it's some kind of remaster, just a port to console

this is the biggest worry at the moment, the shit isn't on ANY of the front screens of any console stores, not on switch, psn, xbox one, and it is less then a month away to release, and it is ONLY coming out in digital, not physical, no idea what sega are thinking

HOWEVER.

14 august, Manias intro will appear online, that will generate millions and millions of views, youtube loves animation, and it also loves sonic, and it's going to jizz buckets when heese makes the ultimate sonic animation of our time

>>384897663
I can't wait for the opening video being uploaded a day before release. I bet it's gonna be amazing.

>>384897461
People don't give a fuck about 2D Sonic especially one with 16bit graphics

>>384897869
They said sometime this week.

>>384897908
They said sometime this WEEKEND. It should be today. I'm losing my patience. :(

>>384897663
they just need to put that shit on the storefront of digital distribution services right before it comes out with a release trailer poking at the nostalgia.
Since it is a low cost title people will be more prone at just buying it out of impulse.
>>384897869
webber said is going to be uploaded soon

I am not prepared. And fuck you. No. The sonic cycle was never broken you just lowered your standards.

This, i feel that the hype behind Mania is already at unsustainable levels, it might be a good game, but it might just be Generations 2 in a new packaging.
>>384897083
What if the new zones are bad?

>>384898309
What if, anon.
What if.

>>384898309
What if anon

What if the zones are the greatest 2d zones of our time, and destroy anything before it?

What fucking IF anon

Does /vr/ care about Sonic Mania?

>>384898529
They better otherwise they become worst board.

>>384898309
>What if the new zones are bad?
hidden palace on the remaster of sonic 2 was one of the best sonic zones I have ever played.
Clear paths and levels not strictly tiered similar to Sonic 3, but with more exchange points a la sonic 2/CD where physics mattered more to pull of mad stunts.
I am pretty sure that mania team of autists might have matched if not surpassed the classic team abilities.

>sonic cycle
Stop being retarded, that shit does not apply to Mania, not even in the slightest.

>>384898529
It's not a board for retro-style games, it's for games that were made before a certain time.

>>384898656
Taxman and Stealth know the classic Sonic engine more thoroughly then Sonic Team ever did, and they made the damn thing.

>>384898529
They literally have a mental and physical meltdown if you talk to them about any game made after the Dreamcast.

>>384898968
well, the classic Sonic Team disbanded after adventure or something like that you're not wrong anyway

>>384898952
The "cycle" was broken by Colors anyway.

I take it you've never played the Taxman ports of the classic games? (can't blame you, fuck playing games on a phone) that's the only reason why I'd expect someone to be completely nervous otherwise you should already know what your getting into.

will there be an upload of the sdcc panel?

You guys will praise it no matter how good or bad it turns out at this rate, the only thing left in these threads are fanaticism.

>>384899108
pretty sure it was during the dreamcast era when Sega decided to make a bunch of subdivisions and crank out as many games as possible. It officially died when Naka left during 06 but it was already a shell at that point.

How many Zones are confirmed so far?

>>384899382
>people gently explain why this game is not affected by the sonic cycle (which hasn't been a thing for years now anyway)
>they explain how the team behind the game has a good track record and is very unlikely to not deliver
>AAA FANATICS AAAAAAA

>>384899531
Define "confirmed".

>>384899382
What the fuck are you talking about. Most anons posted their concerns about the game right in their posts.
But I know your kind of people, you'll just wait to see its metascore to come back here and shitpost endlessly.

>>384899296
Sometime soon on the official Sonic YouTube.

>>384899531
We'll be getting at least 15 zones, so far we have:
>Green Hill
>Chemical Plant
>Flying Battery
>Stardust Speedway

>Studiopolis
>Mirage Saloon

>>384899132
By that logic, Unleashed broke the cycle. Neither were particularly good.

>>384899132
No, that was standards being lowered to the point an unremarkable but not laughably bad platformer was enough to be considered a "return to form" for Sonic.

adventurefags one day you'll get adventure 3, don't worry. I eagerly await your shitposts pretending the game is garbage, two hours after release

>>384899232
I was actually very surprised how good it felt to control the Taxman remakes on my phone. I beat Sonic 1 with them.

>>384899670
pretty sure unleashed matched the cycle meme perfectly with "return to basics" boost gameplay, werehog and that purple chipmunk thing

>>384899638
you're forgetting the japjewish synagogue

>>384899806
Never gonna let that go, huh? Even though the guy that "leaked" it said he made it up.

>>384899806
You're right, but I was listing officially revealed stages, the cathedral one was leaked.

>>384899670
The cycle talked about new OC friends introduced in the game.
Unleashed still fits that narrative. Colors didn't introduce a new annoying sonic Friend. And no, Wisps are power ups, not friendly furry friends.

>>384899802
>boost gameplay

Ah heres this meme again

>>384899883
The name is made up, but the stage with cherry blossoms is confirmed by that leaked screenshot and the art in the new booklet

>>384899883
it's a meme at this point like that damn hole, hell I just figured out what was in the hole, jewish synagogue zone

>>384898952
Why are the friends such a big deal to some people anyway? There are lots of bigger concerns when looking at new Sonic games than the fact that someone who isn't Sonic shows up in a cutscene.

>>384899971
how is a description of the kind of gameplay unleashed, colors and generations offered a meme

It's not the friends themselves (that shit was started and parroted by brainlets) it's their dumbass not Sonic gameplay like fishing, mech shooting and poor-man's GoW that people have a problem with. Nobody complains about the classic, Advance and Rush games having other playable characters besides Sonic.
