Sonic Mania Thread

Time has started to reverse

See you tomorrow, in June

He probably still believes his Sonic 4 is the true sequel to Sonic 3 and like you said Mania is just some little project to keep fans busy til Forces.

>>384995634
Sonic 4 hasn't even been mentioned since its release. I'm not an Iizuka fanboy, but we don't need to look for reasons to shit on the man.

it is monday now. it was 21 days on sunday

I am glad mania isn't Sonic 4 though.

Half the game is reused environments.

That wouldn't be right for a new main game.

>>384995831
I agree but Mania is still the sequel 4 could only ever wish to be.

Can somebody just chaos control and make time go faster please?

Thanks

>>384995576
I don't want to talk about the shitty comics, thanks.

I still can't believe how soulless this game is.

How they could look at the final product and think " yeah, that's what old time fans want" is beyond me.

This.
Pretty much the only time I'd wish time would speed up.

Putting this small information for people who are curious. I won't reveal myself, because of the obvious.

There will be 5 new zones for all heavies that appear, 5 zones for each 5 heavy as like everyone has guessed before, and a 1 new zone without a heavy and without Eggman but a familiar boss instead. The heavies will go rouge, hence why a certain heavy will not appear but a certain boss will appear.

At some point you will face all of these heavies leaded by a missing heavie in a new zone which is the second last zone before the final.

This brings the total amount of new zones to 8, including the final.

I will be posting another snippet of information next week. But feel free to ask me anything about this information.

PLAYABLE AMY WHEN?

>>384996234

It's a re-purposed mobile title, that thought never crossed their minds.

What did though was "yeah, that's a game that deserves to be called Sonic 4".

Mania is the REAL Sonic 4 confirmed.

>>384995868
this makes me so hype

Anyone else remember the hype levels for Sonic Generations in 2011? Those were some pretty awesome threads on /v/. These Mania threads are bringing back the same feeling.

Let's just not say Sonic is back because monkeys paw made Rise of Lyric and Lost World happen.

>>384997173
Maybe not back but opportunity is certainly there.

>>384996593
the leak cathedral and sakura flowers level are both the same zone. they both have the same flowers and the tiles of the floors look similar too. see >>384995986

The cathedral/sakura level is most definitely the ninja star heavy since sakura flowers are japanese, and ninjas are japanese.

the one with the mace is unknown, and so is the magician top hat one.

i think either the mace or the magician will be a castle/mansion level, it could work for either one. no idea what the last one would be though.

>>384997292
the mace one could be a stormy castle

the magician one could be a stadium in the sky

>>384997292
The middle one is mirage saloon

>>384997173
They do feel very much like the Generations hype threads back then as well. Those were good times, as are these. Can't believe it's been so long since then.

>>384995868
it would be pretty cool if there was non-flat landscape to refer to the half-pipe

>>384996835
A spooky mansion/castle or a magic circus are my guesses.

Unless the game has severe performance issues or massive input lag, there's not many ways to claim that it's shit. It's not like you can feel the game, you can only have it respond to button inputs. They've laid down all their cards in terms of mechanics and level design.

Literally the only thing that will be wrong with Mania is that it doesn't have everything these threads wanted. Like Hydrocity or Rosy the Rapscallion. And all things considered, that's not bad at all, just very minor disappointments that don't bring down the game at all.

The hole leads to Labyrinth Zone and Classic Sonic games never have more than one dedicated water level (although obviously there can be more levels WITH water).

Hydrocity will not be in Mania. Judging by the sketch in the manual, they probably picked Marble Garden.

>>385003142
I disagree. Not like it matters though since the Past version is the same in all of them.

But half the Sonic fandom are drooling retards who eat anything up and Forces plays into their nightmarish desires.

Don't know why that is though. The character creator is going to be a barebones selection from like 8 templates you can change the eyes and colors of. They're not going to make their hedgehog fan characters the way they'll want them. The Avatar already looks like a piss poor alternate playstyle and Sonic himself looks worse than Generations. But hey we have an edgelord villain with a linkin park killing theme song.

>>385004541
It's a Sonic clone basically, same moveset, but yes

>>385004465
what is the competition mode? same as sonic 3?
I know it's listed as co-op on steam but i thought that would just be sonic + tails

>>385004641
We don't know exactly but we're all assuming it'll be like Sonic 3's. It'll probably also have Knuckles since Sonic 3 & Knuckles had him as an option. What I wonder is will they let him glide like Sonic 3 & Knuckles had sprites for but never used or what?

>>385004641
It has Multiplayer as well, specially since the main plot it's about a race to that weird power source, not having multiplayer races would be a crime, especially since it was said that they wanted to make a revamped competition mode in the Sonic 3 & Knuckles port that never came out, it's pretty much confirmed we are getting it.

I hope at least

>>385004968
In my opinion the Advance series doesn't while the 8-bit games do, basically any game before the Adventure/Modern design would be classic to me, maybe Pocket Adventures also since that's in a weird middle ground.

promising the "return to glory" and suddenly introducing a new bullshit character/feature is the core of the cycle

>>385010139
Main games are the focus of the Sonic Cycle, spin offs don't hold as much weight.

>>385010139
But the storybook games never looked promising so they don't belong in the cycle.

But that might be me applying revisionist history since I never followed Secret Rings.

>>385010139
heroes set out to do its own thing and be "different from adventure" from the very beginning, it's as far removed from the cycle as it could be even if it indirectly contributed to its creation through being a subpar title

I've tried to stray away from Sonic games too often so I don't get stuck in a black hole of hype that makes me incredibly impatient for this game.

I've just been playing shit like Dead Cells to keep myself occupied. But fuck me, Mania is going to be all I play after it drops. I have way too much faith in this game but I'm really positive there's no way it can bomb now.

What do you guys think about the switch from Archie to IDW?

>>385012996
Same as I plan to do. That's why I hope Tails getting the emeralds still somehow gives him a Super form or I just might pass on them when I do my Tails playthrough.

If I end up really liking the special stages like I did with CD I might just do them anyway, though.

the hole is just a chaos garden. Nothing more.

>>385018814
Green Hill and Hydrocity are on different islands.

Why would it be doubtful? It's a fan favorite zone. With it they wouldn't need to make a new zone a water zone, which is win-win on their part.

Knowing Taxman, he probably thought about it.
I just can't imagine what they've done, they've shown barely anything.

>>385019259
Somebody hasn't watched the footage.

I'm not the only one who isn't amazed by the way the special stages look, right? They look like a clusterfuck.

Alternate exits won't lead to future/past or good/bad... They'll interconnect the different zones.

If you want to be even the slightest bearable you should drop the nameposting and just do avatarposting.

We don't need either a trip or a name to recognize your posts.

Do I watch it on the 14th or wait until Mania comes out and watch it there? You gotta help me decide guys

I literally cannot wait to see Mania's opening animation. It's gonna be SO GOOD.

>>385022629
I'm like a fucking crack addict on hype atm anon, I'll break and watch it 14th

>>385022629
You'll be more hype on the 15th about the game if you wait & turn on the game just to see for the first time that beauty start up.

>>385022483
If Boom S2 is gonna be is last season, I hope SEGA does another cartoon with him as the artist.

>>385022629
Watch it on the 14th, then rewatch it when Mania drops. Simple.

Someone should commission him to draw the "modern" look of the cast seriously instead of jokingly.

i love that mania is gonna have an opening FMV

i kinda hope that they figure out a way to make it look traditionally animated like sonic cd

>>385023063
I'm looking forward to actually seeing a real zone in this engine instead of just the Green Hill testing area. Didn't they say they had something for the next SAGE?

The trailer animations looked pretty traditional looking.

I think he'd do a great version of the Modern cast, especially if hes able to have them be as expressive as he did the Classic cast.

Eh. It looks fun, but I'm not too big on how spacious it is. Not to mention, Sonic looks a bit too small here.
