Ehh not so much Forces. Ever since it's first gameplay trailer, I've felt like something has been off about that game. Nothing has been shown to make the game more compelling.

Other than that, we good.

I didn't expect Tails to be added for Spinball, nice touch. You got that image with a transparent background?

I like how in all the interviews the interviewer always goes "WOW this looks exactly like the old genesis sonic games!" like come on how much of a normie you have to be to not notice all the improvements they did with the better animations and art style

I do.
I made background versions after someone in a Metroid thread had a shitfit about my use of transparency with my Metroid version.
And, well, they had a point.

>>385036459
Ehh, if I were to say anything is off-putting about Forces, I'd say it's the addition of Classic Sonic. From everything we've seen about the story so far, to the tone, to the characters Classic just feels like this third wheel tacked onto the game. I've liked everything else, tho.

>>385036683
When it comes to the Modern gameplay, I honestly think Forces is doing Boost better. I'm not a big fan of how easy it was to fill it up in Gens, & I also like how smooth Boost looks in Forces.

>>385036919

Same reason they refer to anything with pixels as 8-bit

This is clearly 32-bit inspired

>>385037045
If anything is the gimmick it's the OC

So let me get this straight
The Special Stage is a cross between UFO Chaser, Blue Spheres, and Sonic Jam?
That's pretty cool.

With all the big surprises that are being revealed about this game I'm wondering but also tense at the idea of this game pulling another Doomsday Zone-level twist where getting all the Chaos Emeralds unlocks an even bigger final boss battle.

What would it be called? What would the boss music sound like?

>>385037249
The OC is a gimmick no doubt, but at least he fits into the plot of the game. Besides, I think the OC gameplay looks more fun than Classic's so far.

>>385037373
Man, I really wish Knuckles wasn't cut off.

>>385037249
The marketing gimmick is OC, the actual gimmick is Wispons.

>>385037446

Buddy's levels would be better if they didn't have the huge lines of badniks that serve no purpose other than saying "USE WISPON HERE"

>>385037773
I get what you mean. I don't mind the Wispon, but lines of badniks just seems so stupid. I can only hope it's not the case in later levels.

>When it comes to the Modern gameplay, I honestly think Forces is doing Boost better. I'm not a big fan of how easy it was to fill it up in Gens, & I also like how smooth Boost looks in Forces.
I think Modern's gameplay is the only appealing part of it so far and even then I'm still disappointed by the use of 2D sections but whatever, everything else looks fine with him, I don't even care about the Wisps like a lot do.

My biggest issues are Classic Sonic & how Green Hill looked like a major downgrade in terms of presentation, level design and the lack of adding anything new mechanically speaking (like there's sand everywhere, add it to the fucking level as a gimmick so it stands apart from Generation's Green Hill) in the level and the OC gameplay looks atrocious to me with it's slower more offense-based gameplay with the flamethrower & the bosses having QTEs, plus I personally don't care for character customization. If I could only play as Modern in this game I wouldn't really care but ever since Unleashed they've forced you to play the other gameplay styles & I'm pretty sure that'll be the case again here.

When it comes to plot I appreciate the more serious approach but I feel like the edge is going a bit too far with Infinite, it's funny sure but I don't know, it's giving me some negative vibes. Also the only music I've liked is the main theme & even then I find the vocals weak and that's just shocking to me, I usually suck these games soundtracks cocks all the time.

I honestly don't mind the offense-based gameplay of the OC. But then again, I didn't mind the Werehog (although I'd say Buddy is better, because he's not as slow). The levels when played properly have a nice flow & the Wispon is an improvement over how they were used in pretty much every game since Colors.

As for the tone, I'm not too worried about Infinite. Yeah he's edgy & SEGA has a bad history of going too far with darker tones in Sonic, but I've never got the same feeling with him that I got from Black Doom or Iblis. It also helps that Sonic & his friends maintaining their personalities, so there'll be some levity unlike 06.

>>385038213
Even if you aren't hyped for Forces, there's still everything else on that list anon.

I'm no anti-piracyfag but nigga this game is $20 and we need it to sell like hotcakes so SEGA has no choice but to make a Mania 2

>>385038730
It looks nice, but I'm not gonna go apeshit over a fucking screenshot. I'm gonna wait until we see actual footage of it in motion before saying it's one of the best of anything.

>>385038730
It reminds me a lot of F-Zero now that we have a clearer screenshot of it.

I hope it plays fun. The way they described the stage made it sound like it wouldn't be so bad, but it's hard to tell based off words and an image with no video.

>>385039458
Sonic 3 Spritefag here, I like Mania's sprite just as much. Even though it's based on 1-2's, they try to add some three dimensional effects to it like the S3 sprite has. It's the best of both worlds which addresses one of my main complaints with the 1-2 sprite in that Sonic looks too flat. Mania's is the best of both worlds. Only thing that's off about it is the shade of blue. But there's been so many people autistic about that that I'm sure one of the first mods will be one that fixes Sonic's colors.

>>385039765
Well it's not like this screenshot is ALL we have in terms of the Special Stages at the moment. We know how they work, which is mentioned in this image:>>385036683

>>385039959
Yeah, it seems to use something similar to Mode-7 (if not actually that) just like the CD Special Stages.

>>385036919
I'm not a normie and even I forgot how much worse the genesis games looked. Though sonic 3 is still great looking

>>385040141
I hope it plays similar to the CD special stages. I don't know why but those ones were always super fun, even when you were just circling around trying to get that one fucking UFO that kept jerking around with the stupidest hitbox.

>>385038730
I hope it's more of an actual map that loops around like an actual race track that is generally styled like F-Zero and doesn't control like shit. With the way that the orbs speed you up, it seems like it'll be that way.
If the map is like the ones in CD, I'm going to be mad.

>>385040141
Either way, it's still best to just wait until we see it in motion

I don't hate it but I prefer the 1/2/CD/Mania one because it closer resembles the official Japanese key art. You can most easily see that if you compare how Sonic looks in the goal post in 2 and 3.

The 32 bit era

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_generation_of_video_game_consoles

Are you underage? Back then bits were the buzzword you used to talk about how powerful a console was. It was so ubiquitous that the N64 named itself after being 64 bit.

>>385039027
>the Wispon is an improvement over how they were used in pretty much every game since Colors.
Like I said I don't really care about the wisps in general in this game. I will say I agree it's being handled better here than say Lost World or something. I do hope they have a reason for being there plot wise though, it kind of irked me how after Colors they were simply there in Lost World for no reason.

>I'm not too worried about Infinite. Yeah he's edgy & SEGA has a bad history of going too far with darker tones in Sonic, but I've never got the same feeling with him that I got from Black Doom or Iblis.
I know this is shitposted a decent amount but he & the game kind of gives me some '06 vibes honestly, not as lifeless since the voice acting & animations make it better than that but I still get some of that feeling.

>It also helps that Sonic & his friends maintaining their personalities
Speaking of his friends, that's another thing that bothers me. I don't hate all of Sonic's friends like a lot do but it does seem pretty obnoxious to me how they'll be narrating the stage while you're playing.

In regards to Sonic's friends role in Forces, I'm pretty mixed on it. On one hand, the talking in the stages aren't as obnoxious as Heroes since the at least say thing related to the plot (although I do hope you can turn it off) & I like how they're actually doing something this time, but it annoys me that Tails/Knuckles/Amy are just NPCs, when the Resistance theme was the perfect chance to bring them back.

>>385037373
I'm really hoping that all 3 characters go to every zone in the game 2 acts each and that each individual character has their own unique Doomsday Zone type act after the final zone.

Like maybe Sonic goes to face off with eggman

Knuckles has a final showdown with all 5 of the Heavies that joined together to make 1 giant heavy

Tails has a final showdown with super metal sonic

Calling it now: most people are going to end up liking the remixed levels more than the brand new ones.

question, forgive my ignorance

how exactly do things leak?

>>385044487
That big block looks like it belongs to Chemical Plant. The little ones seem to match with Hydrocity.

>>385047201
the thing is since its digital only the only way for that to happen is if someone with a review copy manually uploads their file of the game somewhere. and i doub that will happen

>>385046318
The recommended specs for this game are
Intel Core Duo
2GB RAM
256MB DirectX9 graphics card
400MB hard drive storage

Granted we have barely seen Studiopolis Act.2 but I'm not sure if that adds up with the tiles exactly. Studipolis Act.1 only has those bigger blocks with the X in them (and that lacks the tinier block in the middle) & nothing else resembling the tiny blocks. Maybe I'm looking too far into it but I'm not sure. I added the Final Fever in this by the way just in case it could clue us in.

Revision 01 adds an extra ring to the upper part of Labyrinth Act 1, and if you were desperate for rings to get 50 for the special stage so you collected them all before taking the shortcut, you'd end up JUST with the needed amount. Revision 00 has none of that bullshit so you end up with 49 if you take the shortcut as if the game was giving you a massive "FUCK YOU, GIT GUT."

I think sandopolis is worse because if you don't know the trick you'll be there for a very very long time wondering why it isn't dying.
The rest of them are pretty obvious as to how you're supposed to deal with them even if they're boring and a pain.

Of course this is from a design standpoint and not just how annoying it is to refight them on replays of the game.

Mania looks fun, but I'm still disappointed that Sonic Team wants to act like the Adventure games don't exist anymore. They were a lot of fun and the haters only remember the bad aspects of them and overexaggerate some of the flaws like Big's fishing levels.

>>385061228
Sonic Team just doesn't know how to do an adventure style game anymore. Especially since nobody can agree on what makes them good and what didn't.

>>385060506
I'd second that recommendation, assuming it wasn't done in jest. It's not the most ideal 3D Sonic, but it does a good job of feeling like a long lost Sonic game for the PC. Lots of neat mods for it too.

I'd also recommend using Jeck Jim's MD2 3D models for it, if you don't have a toaster for a computer.

Good thing they're pandering to the Adventure fans by giving us a "serious" story and a deep dark anthro villain, right?

>>385061228
You're getting Adventure with Forces, friend.

>>385061228
>I'm still disappointed that Sonic Team wants to act like the Adventure games don't exist anymore.
Because the Adventure games have already been replaced with the Boost games, and, frankly, they are not that good looking back at them.
>haters only remember the bad aspects of them and overexaggerate some of the flaws like Big's fishing levels.
Nigga what the fuck, Big's levels are a piece of shit.

>>385061095
Sure, I guess. They often come up whenever I search for Sonic related gameplay footage.

>>385061438
>>385061486
Except that Forces is just another Boost game. Not Adventure.

>>385061538
Big's levels are flawed, but they're no where near as bad as most people make them out to be.

One day you'll get your new Adventure game when those types of games get a version of the Taxman & Stealth. I say give it 10 years.

Forces is nothing like Adventure though? It's Sonic Generations 2.

>>385036459
We've barely seen any gameplay from Forces besides the same level over and over again. We've known about this game for a year, and the only levels we know about are Green Hill and Park Avenue. This shit comes out in 5 months.

They've put more of the focus, marketing wise, on Mania. Forces is basically living in Mania's shadow right now. instead of equal exposure.

>game that releases in 3 weeks has more news on it than game that release in 5 months
wow stop the presses

>>385060397
Play Time Twisted, it's good.

>>385062174
It's not, the music is not good enough, so it goes in the trash

>>385062298
The music went the US CD soundtrack direction instead of the JP direction.
It's fine, just different.

>>385041527
>it does seem pretty obnoxious to me how they'll be narrating the stage while you're playing.
Was it obnoxious when they did the exact same thing in Adventure 2, Heroes, Shadow, 06, Secret Rings, Black Knight, Unleashed, and Generations?

It's literally just plot dumping while you are playing the game, instead of long drawn out cutscenes explaining everything in the most contrived way because the characters have to be witty while doing it (Sonic Boom). If it's more than just "It looks like a homing shot", then it's fine.

>>385062125
Not him but he's right, Mania has been consistently getting balanced news over the course of a year unlike Forces.

>>385062298
It ain't bad, m8.

>game that was announced the same time as the other game has more stages and music unveiled, exposure, i.e Pre-order Trailer, and marketing than the other game that is due for a holiday release

>>385062463
It seems like it's happening quite a bit more in Forces, about on-tier with Generations final boss which yes I found annoying. The other games didn't really bother me at all though. Also you don't need a shitload of dialogue during gameplay or cutscenes to tell a story, visual story telling through ones gameplay is a thing.

>>385062463
>Was it obnoxious when they did the exact same thing in Adventure 2, Heroes, Shadow, 06, Secret Rings, Black Knight, Unleashed, and Generations?

Not that guy, but most people thought it was obnoxious when the character chatter was constant, yes. I'm guessing post-story playthroughs won't have it but I could easily see it being capable of becoming irritating for the first time through.

So, yeah, as long as a cutscene is skippable I'd probably prefer to have my plot dumps there instead. We also don't know if Forces isn't just going to do both plot dumps in-game and during cutscenes, but I guess we'll see. I'm pretty ambivalent towards Forces in general at this point.

>Not playing 3K the way it was meant to be played.
If its not the S2 Sonic sprite with Flying Battery after Carnival Night then you didn't play it right. Start over.

Can't get more Adventure than that.

Pretty sure he meant the final boss.

>visual story telling through ones gameplay is a thing.
This is a thing for the Classic era of games, this has never been the case in 3D Sonic games.

They've always plot dumped or done exchange of dialogue during gameplay as opposed to doing it all for cutscenes. I don't know why anyone would expect things to change when they've been doing this for years.

>>385063512
Well he's pretty dumb if he can't see the difference between doing it in the climax of the game during one level that's not even a level, it's a boss fight, vs all the time in even the first level.

>>385063312
The S2 Sonic sprite doesn't have a complete Super Sonic sprite sheet though.

>>385063603
Who said I expected it and why does visual story telling through gameplay need to be exclusive to the classic games? It shouldn't matter if the game is 2D, 3D, Modern, Adventure, etc. Also >>385063206 brings up a good simple point, they could easily just let you skip the cutscenes or better yet just give the option to not have the friends narrating, not everyone cares about a story in a Sonic game after all so options are nice.

>>385063947
I will admit I have yet to even fucking see Super Sonic because I'm an idiot and didn't work out how to activate it until I had already gotten to the 3K levels. And I suck at the super emerald blue sphere maps. What sprites are missing?

>>385052545

Spinning and rotating.

>>385061438
I feel like you think this is a sick burn but I love Infinite. A lot of people do, actually.

>>385063365
We're talking about gameplay, don't be dense.

>>385043327
This is fucking terrifying
Who told Penders he could draw?

>>385036919
I really fucking like how they made it look like an early Saturn title, right down to having low poly 3D for the special stages. It makes it feel as if this was the Saturn Sonic we were missing all those years.

>>385064114
>why does visual story telling through gameplay need to be exclusive to the classic games
It doesn't NEED to be, that's just the way it has always been. And that's because every character is voiced, meanwhile the Classic era games are mute.

Yeah they're pouring all their advertising resources into youtube and twitter

They're not marketing either of them
