Really not digging these remixes. They sound like amateur stuff you'd expect from a fucking Youtube Sonic autist. Music is the only part of this game that doesn't seem professional or "genuine" if that makes any sense.

>>385736053

>>385735975
This. It's apparent this game had a tiny budget and Sega doesn't give two shits about it. It was just a bone they threw at the niche "old" fanbase to celebrate the anniversary.

>>385736120

I figured

>>385736053
I love the US bad future song probably just as much as the JPN one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRcR0v6I_w8

Probably because I played the fuck out of Sonic CD on Gems Collection, I got a bug soft spot for the US OST.

>>385736053
I like both. Also never realized how good the good future was for US until recently

>>385735773

To me, the OST sounds like music you would hear in Sonic CD, or just music you would hear in many other Saturn games.

>>385736053
I'll be honest with you
I actually really liked Stardust's US Good Future
It didn't really fit but god damn I just love it

>>385736338
How come all the classic Sonic games take place on islands?

>>385736439
how come youre GAY

>>385736439
if you think about it, aren't all landmasses just really big islands?

>>385736287

In a way I feel like it does fit because it sounds very positive and upbeat. I get pretty pumped up every time I play through it and listen to this.

But shit, I like both. Who wouldn't like this?

Personally I think the music is brilliant, but then again I wouldn't say that comparing the music to "Youtube autists" is even an insult. Those niggas make some seriously good shit, and it's how Tee started out in the first place. It's not perfect and the music was never quite going to live up to the high standards set by Dreams Come True and Michael fucking Jackson, but it's still leagues ahead of, say, Sonic 4's music, and I'd argue it sounds a lot better than Forces too despite Forces obviously having more budget behind it.

That's probably Sega's doing as a way to further distinguish between classic and modern. It sounds stupid, but remember, classic was actually a few shades lighter than modern in Generations. Same rings true for Forces.

>>385735773
They're using soundfont that wouldn't be out of place on a Saturn. Its intentional.

Let's hope the music is the weakest part of the game. But I get what you're saying. It doesn't sound like "sonic music".

It kinda reminds me of "Look Alike" from the OVA, dunno if thats intentional.

>>385737617
Right, Sonic 4 isn't the best example, I get that. My point is that you can compare the Sonic Mania music to "Youtube autists" but that's not really a bad thing considering the so-called "professionals" like Jun Senoue and Richard Jacques have been known to put out some absolutely irredeemable garbage.

I don't care how "professional" the music is, I care how good it sounds, and Tee's stuff sounds damn good to me, Youtube autist or otherwise.

>>385737543
By Sonic music do you mean you want it to sound like the genesis soundfont or the type of music?

This is factually incorrect. Sonic CD was headed up by one of the original three and a skeleton crew. Sonic 2 was the all star cast with some New American Friends™ thrown into the mix.

Plus CD came out a year later.

Sonic 2 and Sonic CD were both developed as sequels to Sonic 1. The former by a team in the US, the latter by a team in Japan.

That one released after the other isn't relevant.

>>385742684
Level design seems to be a blend of 3K's dense ant farms, with CD's verticality.

We've already seen that the level design is WAY less cluttered and much better directed than CD's - and has more in common with a mix of S2/S3K/Megamix - but visually and musically it does take a lot of cues from CD. Best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned

The team in the US was the majority of Sonic Team. They followed Yuji Naka and Hirokazu Yasuhara out west for Sonic 2's production because Sega of America was crucial in Sonic's development from day 1.

Only Naoto Oshima headed CD.

CD was the Gaiden project. 2's reins were given to the A team. Stop memeing your headcannon that CD was anything greater than what it really was.

I guess just because sanic's popular?

>>385752423
well Arin's a hack who admitted he only got into animation to be a voice actor and when that failed he stuck with lets playing.

>>385753310
The Sonic 06 playthrough did very well so he's been constantly trying to find excuses to bash Sonic ever since.

>>385753403
when did he say that?

>>385753306

Lopes is addicted to the fresh prince of bel air

>>385754118
He didn't say it directly but in one video he pretty much admitted to starting up the awesome series just so he could do his own thing after doing VA work on other newgrounds stuff and that's why they were done so quick and crudely initially. That's not to say he HATES animating it's just I don't think he's that bummed about focusing on LPs instead of animation unlike other flash animators from his time. He was always about recognition

Honestly, I could give to fucks about Arin hating Sonic, it's the people who constantly hop to his defense with shit about how he's just doing it to make Sonic fans mad and how you fell for the meme. I'm all for trolling but when every word that leaves your mouth about something is you just shitting on it, it stops becoming a meme and just turns into you being an ass. Like comedy has no limits but seriously, I'm supposed to not hate a guy who only ever shits on something cause "h-he doing it on purpose"?

I'm excited for Sonic Mania too, but does anyone else feel like Forces is getting a little bit too much irrational hate? I guess I'm also the only one who enjoyed Unleashed, Colors, and Generations.

I guess I'm happy to have two Sonic games that appeal to me.

Should I get it for Switch or PC?

>>385755593
I want to like forces too but the levels they've shown so far don't look particularly fun or impressive. Plus classic sonic and green hill being in the game feels really redundant when we have Mania.

>>385755810
They only showed literally ONE level

>>385755593
I think most people enjoyed Colors and Generations. Forces is more polarizing because the keep shoehorning in things like classic Sonic, Wisps, and Green Hill which gives the impression that Sega doesn't have a lot of confidence in the game

>>385755931
They've shown two levels and a bit of each playstyle + bosses. I agree that it's still early but I hope that later levels are more interesting

>>385755593
I'm hyped for Forces and yeah a lot of the hate is irrational ( see muh edge, muh OCs memes) but I recognize that the gameplay has so far been fairly bland from what I have seen, the levels seem very simple and it for the first time I can honestly say looks like it's on autopilot most of the time. I'm gonna excuse it with the levels shown being the first levels most likley but honestly, the gameplay I have seen it probably the least interesting of all the boost games. By no means terrible, but nothing all that interesting. I'm more interested in the story at this point. And while I wanted to be lenient on Classic Sonic, he is looking more and more out of place.

>>385755593
All they need to do is show off something interesting. They've only shown off 2 levels, with two characters going through those 2. Hell, they've shown off more about Infinite and OC creator than the actual game.

Gonna be honest, I fucking love the new Stardust Speedway track, it's fucking sex for my ears.

But if I'm honest, it's not fitting for a Sonic zone, especially Stardust Speedway because it's designed to be hectic and fast, while the track is slow and calming.

There's bound to be a generation gap with this kind of stuff. These kids were raised on Sonic being an absolute joke and have no idea he was a legitimate rival to Mario at one point in time. Yeah the older crowd knows him as a mascot with highs and lows but the kids just see him as a punchline. I honestly have no idea how they're going to respond to Mania, will they be shocked that Sonic can actually be good or will they automatically hate it? With our luck Arin will play it on GG and shit on it constantly

I love when people criticize the games for being "hold right to win" but also call the level design bad because they punish you for doing just that.

>>385752840
I hope so. The best sonic soundtracks are always extremely diverse.

This is gonna be GOTY so hard it's not even funny.

I've never understood why Sonic games are hold right to win but Mario games aren't for some reason? People actually fall for this meme which is depressing.

Aside fro ma mistake or two, Gamespot put out a surprisingly good video on Sonic's history.

Sonic is easier than Mario, so people who are still salty about a playground fight back in 1991 like to make fun of his series

>>385762274
It makes me sad this is actually true. Me and the boys had to shit all over some kid who kept saying Sonic 2's level design sucks because he kept running into spikes and enemies and he would never acknowledge us telling him to slow down.

>Play sounds 04, 01, 02, 06 in the sound test. You should hear the sound of an emerald being collected. You will now have all seven Chaos Emeralds. Possibly inspired by Genesis 41:26: ""The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one."

I hate this argument because it's just wrong. 3&K is incredibly intricate with it's level design. Compare this shit to Mario World and then say which game is "hold right to win" like seriously fuck off.

>>385762874
I thought it was just the release date or a dev's birthday or some shit.

Pathetic.
Don't be a cunt.

I'm 30, all my friends are around the same age.
This is the only game a lot of friends I know have ever been excited about.

There's a ton of people that still own their old megadrives sort of as a niche novelty hobby, because it's not seen like a COD xbox sort of vice, so their girlfriends were ok with it.

Huge market of people who are excited for this who don't usually care about video games.

This is also my favourite era of Sonic games, and I love the 90s. It's just before I started getting severely bullied in secondary school and having my spirit crushed.

>>385762898
Damn do I love me some Carnival Night

Is anyone else's Amazon CE order saying it'll ship on August 15th, not arrive on the 15th?

>>385763605
Mine doesn't even have a delivery estimate yet. Switch version here.

>>385737475
Extra-life sound should be a whole new composition based on the title theme, like in S3 and SK

>>385761045
It's alright but it's inferior to the ones from the Classic Era(1-3K, CD, 3D Blast etc.)

Don't think 3K's tune is ever getting topped

Ehh...

This is a hype train. It will derail 4 hours after release and catch fire after 3 days.
You can't change the rules. This is video games, 2017.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

>>385764438
One on the left is too forgiving for how late in the game it is

>>385755593
I loved them too, but they came out before Mania raised the fuck out of the bar.

Most of what Forces has shown off has legitimately been garbage, no irrational hate necessary

>>385764438
After working on the game for 16 hours ever day locked in an office to make the game in time for the holiday release they turned sadistic.

>(you)

You should probably find a different hobby if video games are dead for you. Or at least bet on a non-capcom horse. The rest of us will enjoy the actually good games coming out.

>>385755593
I'll get Forces, and I liked those games as well, but as other anons have said, what gameplay we've seen doesn't look good.
