S3&K sprite will always be the best

Will they be doing a zone remake from Sonc 3?

Does anyone have that pic with the level trope analysis in it?

Was about to make a thread so here is some OC I whipped up for the OP image.

Anyway I just finished the Sonic 2 port on 3DS. I'd say it's the best mobile version because it's not on a fucking phone. M2 really did good work and it's a shame we won't see more genesis games from them.

This is really dumb but I want to be able to have anyone follow anyone. It always bothered me that the only duo can be Sonic & Tails. They don't even necessarily have to give Sonic & Knuckles special "partner" abilities. I just want them along for the ride.

>>385542912
Ice Cap confirmed.

>>385543041
When you're running through a "open" segmente you should expect to see them.
At least I don't have a problem with them.

>>385543092
>It always bothered me that the only duo can be Sonic & Tails.
This. We need Sonic & Knuckles and Tails & Knuckles game modes.

>>385543285
You're forgetting Tails & Sonic, Knuckles & Sonic, and Knuckles & Tails modes.

I'm talking about the multiple instances when you get bounced up by those yellow bumpers right into an attack you can't dodge because of automation. It happens more than once.

I do, however, think asterons are actually well designed.

Retarded and objectively wrong.

>>385543796
Yeah, just have a freezer gimmick in two stages, that TOTALLY won't kill variety or anything.

>>385544181
just have a spring gimmick in every stage it won't do any harm

>>385543594
In the picture with Tails, it seems to be a sort of ancient temple below Studopolis. Could it be that the next level after Studiopolis is that temple?
And about Sonic arriving as an Ice Cube, it may be after the fact that Ice Cap Zone is the previous level and Robotnick, after the boss fight, manages to freeze Sonic and sent him to the Sakura Mansion.

I must have completely shed my love for Sonic because this game made me feel nothing.

Which is odd because I was actually a huge sonic fan in the early 90's when he first came out. Even shelled out money for the saturn. I also rented the dreamcast from Hollywood Video months before it was released and beat Sonic Adventure in one sitting without a memory card.
Now....now I just don't care anymore.

I still like Sonics character design...as I think it represents what a good design can do....but yeah. It's a strange feeling to look at something you used to love and have no feeling at all.

If Scrap Brain makes it in, i'd like to see it take design elements from the other "final" levels (Metropolis, Metallic Madness, Launch Base, and Death Egg) kind of like that part of Green Hill that has level design from Palmtree Panic.

>>385544181

What if there's a transition cutscene where Sonic gets frozen into a cube at the end of the ice cap reimagine level and he falls into the sakura garden zone?

It's a huge assumption to make just based on one picture that we're not getting ice cap

>>385544776
>transition cutscene
Why on earth would that be in level concept art?

>>385544924

Cutscene ends with him falling, cuts to in game where the cube hits the ground, he breaks out and the level begins.

Just an example, just saying anything is possible

Favorite song is probably Flying Battery.

As for reimaginings I am already pretty content with Flying Battery and Chemical Plant getting in. Hydrocity is a pretty easy next choice.

>>385545109
Emerald Hill is empty and boring and where is Death Egg?

>>385545048
I'm asking why would they draw something minuscule like that for concept art meant to show off a level?

>>385545109
Emerald Hill is a GHZ clone. Why is it at the top?

To the fag who said sonic 3 is better than sonic and knuckles, you're fucking wrong. Sonic 3 has a really anticlimactic ending. Big arms was a shitty final boss and launch base looks like it should be the third zone.

>>385545258
Emerald Hill is my favorite starting zone in the series. It could use a few more secrets akin to Green Hill's lower sections but I love its open air design and flow.

As for Death Egg 3 I must have removed it by mistake when I was cleaning up after I moved the other final boss acts into their own category. It's one of my favorites. An easy A.

>>385545358
Both of you are retarded because 3&K is one game and should be treated as such.

>>385545358
Big Arms is one of the best bosses in the series. Much better than the shitty chase boss at the end of S&K. S&K is better overall though.

>>385545305
Because it plays nothing like GHZ. It just looks like it on a superficial level. GHZ is much more closed in and vertical with structure focusing on enabling speed when the player is familiar enough to time their jumps and rolls according to the rigid upward hills and its slopes.

EHZ on the other hand grants speed as a given and uses hazards to break up the pace, continued stretches of speed are granted as the player learns to avoid the hazards.

The emphasis on flow is why I prefer Emerald Hill over GHZ.

I beat Sonic 2 so many times as a little 5 year old. First time beating it I cried. Then I went to my uncles house and watched him playing Sonic 3 and knuckles, and didnt even know there was more sonic. That following christmas he got Sonic 3 with the knuckles lock on cartridge, and I played that thing every single day. When I finally got all the super emeralds I was ecstatic and immediately called my uncle on my moms phone to tell him the news. He thought it was amazing because even he had some tough time with the blue spheres. Thank you anon for reminding me of some of my fondest memories, I cant believe something I've waited 14 years for is almost here :')

>>385545439
It was sold as two separate games and even in compilations the two are kept separate. Just like Ground Zeroes is a separate game from The Phantom Pain so too is Sonic 3 separate from Sonic & Knuckles.

>>385545292
Oh, so you're thinking they're demonstrating a level gimmick. Yeah, good point. I just wouldn't rule out ice cap because of an ice cube is all I'm saying.

>>385545553
Valid, but if they're looking for variety in zone themes, it's probably not going to make it in.

Every character has a movement gimmick, what would hers be?

>>385546356
You can lock on S&K with Sonic 2 as well so I guess those are the same game too. Hell the entire Genesis library is one game because of Blue Sphere. Lock on gimmick doesn't change that they were sold and marketed as two separate games and have always been presented as such even when rereleased they were kept separate.

>>385546359

High jump with her hammer.

>>385546781
Stardust Speedway is fun and goes by quickly if you know the layout, plus the Metal Sonic race is GOAT. Labyrinth plays more like a traditional platformer than a Sonic level, which is polarizing but not outright terrible

is sonic mania going to be slower in europe like the genesis games?

It's a pretty good feeling. Especially since I was a huge fan of the games as a kid (despite sucking). Mania has sort of rekindled an interest I haven't had in decades. I mean the last Sonic game I played was Adventure back in like 2001. This quick play through of 1 this morning was a heavy dose of nostalgiahol. I'll probably buy 2 and 3 now and give them a go some time soon.

I mean even if Mania winds up sucking I can thank it for the good time I'm having in the hype phase leading up to it at least.

>>385547136
Sonic Megahack gets tough, but (what I believe to be) the final level is difficult to the point of being tedious

>>385546652
>You can lock on S&K with Sonic 2 as well
And the only thing you get is playable Knuckles instead of a seamless continuation of the game and it's story. Your other examples are null as well for the same reason.

Sonic Mega collection has each iteration of & Knuckles as it's own game too.

The xbox360 version of S3 and S&K can be virtually docked if you have both.

Fact of the matter is it was conceptually meant to be one game but restrained by hardware. So the docking thing was just convenient marketing like blast processing

>>385549000
man, those sprites look so damn good on closer inspection.

>>385548916
It probably will get a mobile port like a year down the line or something - we know the engine's capable of it. The thing is, people don't really take mobile games seriously so I'm guessing they intentionally didn't give it a mobile version at first because they thought it would devalue the game in the eyes of the consumers, so to speak.

Besides which, piracy is enough of a problem on PC, but on Android it's arguably even more rampant. Why would they give away Sonic Mania for free to everybody who has a phone, when they can force people to buy it for the Switch if they want to play it on the go?

The yellowish-green buildings in the BG appear to have been reshaded too, as is the red pipe thing underneath Tails

It doesn't really matter whether they're integrated into a badnik or not. It doesn't change the fact that the gimmick is there in the first place and counts as such.

>>385551919

>>385551750
Just because a stage gimmick can disappear doesn't mean it' not a gimmick. Badniks have a track record of being zone exclusive.

In Mirage Saloon that big bottles of water that you can stand on and have the water launch out to make a path can only be used once. Are those not a gimmick?

Sonic 1's boss is menacing but goofy at the same time, which suits Eggman's character, but Sonic & Knuckles' miniboss theme is so much more intimidating, probably aided by the fact that the robots aren't piloted by Eggman.
Eggman's Mania theme manages to capture that feeling and then some. It's so fucking good

I don't get this mentality.

If anything I wish they'd put more of the black-sheep and unpopular stages in Mania (or Mania 2?) so they can have a chance at redemption

No it doesnt. Badniks do not displace stage gimmicks.

Badniks are not stage gimmicks and the second statement while true has nothing to do with anything.

But the actual interesting part about this is because a badnik bouncing you and a setpiece bouncing you are not competing elements. It's actually possible that a badnik freezes you in the new stage, and ice cap could still be in because a stage hazard freezes you.

I just doubt it because it looks like one of the acts of the new stage is a snow trope. I've heard the argument that it's an illustration of an ice cap stage transition, but why would they draw that as concept art? Also they've teased a sprite that might just be a replacement for the snowboarding section.

Gimmick has a very specific meaning because that's how we rule out stages returning

Only I know my own retarded pastas.

Labyrinth zone is better than hydro-cuck-city and let me tell you babies why. First off just because you can go faster in hydrocity doesn't make it better. It is handing out speed for free just like sonic 4 and it is dumb and unfun. Labyrinth zone actually takes skill. Second off the obstacles in hydrocity are dumb. Spinning cylinders that roll you into spikes? Really? Labyrinth zone has real platforming. Also you are a fucking baby if you drown in labyrinth zone. It is easy to casually pick up a bubble and the dispensers are everywhere. The bubble shield takes away any of the fun or charm away from the mechanic in hydrocity.

There are some out there. Sonic 3 Master Edition

>>385548295
Play the Master System ones. They have a much wider camera making them more fun and accessible.

I honestly don't see what's so bad about the pic in question. At WORST, there will be a post-credits sequence that shows Mania Sonic getting sucked into a time portal or something. It's not like they're actually going to put Infinite into Sonic Mania

>>385558798
what do you mean, the rewards?

All I'm saying is that if they put in a 10-second tie-in to Forces at the end of Mania, it won't ruin the game. It'll be kinda tacky but a good game is still a good game.

You're allowed to use a colon to follow a salutation you unbelievable nigger. Educate yourself before you speak.

But that was used after a salutation just fine.

have her play like in the advance games. slightly slower, lower jump, but has a high jump with the hamme. hammer attack, cant spindash. all that jazz.

i dunno. it could be done with one. IIRC when she is running at full speed is how she gets the high jump with the hammer. and the hammer in the air could work just like the insta shield.

Presumably not, hopefully they've figured out that the internal tick rate shouldn't be locked to the framerate.

You mean the other half of Sonic 3 that you were supposed to get by paying for Sonic 3?

You shouldn't answer questions you don't know anything about

>>385560534
NTSC and PAL have different framerates. PAL runs at 50Hz and NTSC runs at 60. The drowning timer, for example, says that after a specific number of ticks you drown. There are 60 ticks in one second of NTSC Sonic, but only 50 ticks in one second of PAL Sonic so you actually have more seconds to breathe underwater in Europe.

Only updating the game engine 50 times every second makes the game 5/6th the speed of American Sonic, which updates 60 times a second.

The fix is to have one internal tickrate that the game engine runs at which is not tied to the refresh rate of the display. Then you can process the game at the same speed everywhere, but display it at the right refresh rate for the different displays.

lol. you really cant think of why input and actions shouldnt be tied to a frame rate in a game about going fast

>>385554250

The zone is synonymous with Robotnik's love of pollution, so I can see why they put that level in games. It's not the most fun level design, but I like the music and theme of it.

Aww, I love Aquatic Ruin Zone.
