>>385930275
I think it's because Mario is more acrobatic and the focus (expressed best in levels later in their games and the difficulty has ramped a bit) of the games lends to the split notions.

Mario can get fairly technical with its platforming requiring Mario's nimble jumping to make it through where Sonic is about timing short and long jumps with rolls to maintain forward momentum.

Both offer challenge though so idk what people's glitch is over which is most hold right to win.
>>
>>385930275
Both Mario and Crash are praised way more than Sonic for level design when they are more "Hold right to win" than Sonic ever was. Especially games like Mario 3, Super Mario World and Crash 2.

The games are great, definitely. But there's no point sitting around and pretending that Sonic is way more basic or lacking just because the modern titles are weaker. Speaking of which, Forces actually looks like it could be good. An Adventure game with actually good gameplay would be decent to see.

Better but still prevents you from going fast, final bosses are unnecessarily hard (no rings so can't get hit even once between both fights)

Awkward level design, annoying to travel between time periods, only one (1) pit in the entire game--save these stretches built for time travel, easily the slowest Sonic game (and some of these "stretches" are just repeated loops that don't actually take you anywhere--just sloppy design)

>Sonic 3 & Knuckles
The best out of the classic games but still not up to snuff. Sandopolis (at least as Knuckles) is incredibly tedious, too many collectables (Chaos and Super Emeralds), there's no reason to play as Sonic when Tails and Knuckles exist basically since his shield double jump is useless

Three acts again when two would've sufficed.
The team-up shit felt forced.
Getting the emeralds was a fucking hassle.
Chaos were in stupid locations that go against how you should be playing the game normally.
Though in spite of all that, the music was fantastic. If I could see any level get remade in something like Mania, it would be either Chaos Angel or Cyber Track.

Going fast is only hard in two zones, and the final boss isn't even hard, it's scripted as fuck.

True, but it's only one zone.

Are you serious?
>there's no reason to play as Sonic when Tails and Knuckles exist basically since his shield double jump is useless
Wrong, not only is he the fastest, the insta-shield can break some bosses, and the electric shield and bubble shield are incredibly useful.

Sounds like you're just bad at video games.
>>
>>385930980
>Sonic 3
Alright then, as a base game it has seven emeralds, as does Knuckles. The two of them together has 14, which makes perfect sense.

Sonic's insta-shield allows for skips, sequence breaks and shortcuts in boss fights, along with more defensive play to allow you to maintain speed, so the lack of usage on your part is more down to skills than it's own application.

>No reason to play as Sonic
Except for going fast, getting Super Sonic and playing the game to its fullest. There's no reason to play as Sonic in Adventure since Tails' stages are faster by that logic.
>>
>>385931021

>>385931024
If you weren't underage you'd know that when Sonic came out it was billed as "fast". All the cartoons presented him as that way, the comics did, commercials did, that's how Sonic was pushed. Long before Sonic X and internet memes spewing GOTTA GO FAST there was "the fastest thing alive", "the blue blur", etc.

Yes, level design is more focused on platforming, admittedly it's the weakest but not "bad" by any means, and Green Hill Zone and Starlight Zone have plenty of speedy moments. Not a bad game. It's a good game, in fact.

>Sonic 2
This shit is fast as fuck are you high? Speed IS the reward, not something that you are rewarded FOR. And the final boss is supposed to be hard, you should have more than enough lives and continues to handle it. This game is piss easy.

Sonic 1 is a much slower game than the rest, this is known.

>Better but still prevents you from going fast, final bosses are unnecessarily hard (no rings so can't get hit even once between both fights)

It's retardedly easy to go fast through most of the stages in Sonic 2, the first two zones are honestly dull because of how easy going fast is in them. Also the final boss is brain dead easy if you just think about how to fight him for a minute.

> there's no reason to play as Sonic when Tails and Knuckles exist basically since his shield double jump is useless

Play the Complete romhack, it makes Sonic's flash better for defending from projectiles and for hitting enemies surrounded with spikes.

Also Sandpolis and Marble Garden catch too much shit, Sandpolis zone 2 is a ton of fun when the game starts throwing multiple timed elements at you, and Marble Garden's fly top gimmick is actually pretty cool.

When I was a kid I wrote down the attacks metal sonic would do so I could memorize them and beat him, it wasn't until years later that I realized that spin dashing to opposite ends of the boss arena for the giant robot could make him easily beatable. Something about Sonic 2 keeps it so fun despite it being exceedingly easy.

>>385932092
Amy's design has always been so dumb, she doesn't mesh well at all with any of the other characters.
>>
>>385930275
because Mario is slower so you appreciate the level design while with Sonic you're blasting through everything. It's ironic that Sonic gets shit when it actually offers different ways to get to the goal depending on how you play the level which Mario lacks. Sonic (3&K in particular) is much more open ended with how you complete acts than Mario World.

No, they are all fairly different. Certain enemies appear in multiple levels though.

>Better but still prevents you from going fast
Again, not really about going fast. You have fallen for the meme.
Sonic 2 also allows you to go fast in the vast majority of its zones if you know the level layouts half-decently anyway, so you're just straight up wrong.
>final bosses are unnecessarily hard
LOL

>only one (1) pit in the entire game
How is this an issue? Most people would consider this a good thing.
>save these stretches built for time travel, easily the slowest Sonic game
Sonic 1 is slower, and stop thinking Sonic was always "gotta go fast". That was just marketing, you chump.

>Sandopolis (at least as Knuckles) is incredibly tedious
You only mean act 2, and that's only 1 out of something like 25 acts in the game. Is it really that big a deal that a single act in the entire game drags on just a little too long?
>too many collectables (Chaos and Super Emeralds)
The special stage is enjoyable, and just 7 collectibles for the entirety of Sonic 3 & Knuckles would have been too few. You'd have all the emeralds in no time with little effort and then for the rest of the game giant rings would have been pointless.
Besides that, you don't actually have to get any of the super emeralds to get the good ending or fight the final boss. It's totally optional.
>there's no reason to play as Sonic when Tails and Knuckles exist basically since his shield double jump is useless
The insta-shield has tons of use, and the shield double jumps are crazy good. You have literally no idea what you are talking about. Also, Sonic is the only character that gets to fight the last boss.

That one's one of my favorites to replay Sonic 1 and 2 with. The bubble shield works wonders for Labyrinth.

Yes. Even if you cannot transform during stages because you've visited the super emerald room, you still get to fight the final boss.

I liked Metal Knuckles' design, but literally whos to pad out the game isn't really that appealing. Keep the roster concise and simple or at least include established characters

I can only imagine how a Classic Cream/playable Vanilla would add to such a game

>>
>>385933134
It could still have better controls. Just give me less clunky as fuck movement at low speeds. Aside from Amy and Eggman, these characters are not vehicles. The slow turning at low speeds just feels wrong.

Also, the game is stupidly unbalanced. Once you've unlocked Super Sonic, good fucking luck beating him with Tails Doll or Eggrobo or whatever.
This would need fixing as well for the game to be good.

I was going to avoid invoking Utopia because I know how divisive that game is and that's not a hill I'm ready to die on right now, but yeah, Utopia is the only thing that gives me that same feeling that Sonic World did only much more refined. I hope that Lange and friends are able to get a new demo out soon that addresses all the issues people brought up in the first one.

But yeah, it would be neat if Sega hired them to do a new Sonic World thing for a hypothetical Jam 2. It could even be like the original Sonic World in that it's testing the waters to see how people would react to a Utopia type of 3D Sonic. It could all come full circle. ...yeah, okay, that's never going to happen, but it would be pretty perfect if it did.

The catch is that the majority of the game's levels are old ones from previous games BUT they're all completely remade from the ground up and the Act 2's are significantly different from the Act 1's. The rest of the levels are all brand new. If you're still on board after that, then you're probably in for a good time.

Sonic Mania is a 2017 video game releasing on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch.
On July 22nd, 2016, during the Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary event, it was officially announced (later alongside "Sonic Forces", previously Project Sonic 2017) that Sonic the Hedgehog would release a brand new video game in Spring 2017 titled "Sonic Mania".
Sonic Mania is a game that replicates the gameplay, aesthetic, characterization, world, and generally all of what made the original Sonic the Hedgehog 1991-1995 series including Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), Sonic the Hedgehog CD (1993), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994), Sonic and Knuckles *second half of Sonic the Hedgehog 3* (1994) and Knuckles' Chaotix (1995). Sonic Mania, due to not being on the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis, features a free color palette, expanded graphics, wide-screen, high-definition musics and more. You can play as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, just as the original series featured them as playable in new iterations.

In Sonic Mania, the game is bent on "remixing" old zones (as of now, Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Stardust Speedway, Flying Battery), as well creating new zones for a new experience (Mirage Saloon, Studiopolis). The game was delayed to Summer 2017 during March, and in January, during a Nintendo Switch Event, was announced for the platform. On May 29th, 2017, during a Release Trailer, it was announced that Sonic Mania would be released on August 15th, 2017.

SRB2 really makes up for its technical shortcomings with excellent level design. And playing Sonic with KB+M feels surprisingly good. (I mean, I guess it IS the Doom engine after all.) An underrated fangame tbqh. It's a shame it can't do loops and other Sonic-y set pieces very well.

But yeah, I think Utopia's going that route with its level design, which is fantastic.

Switch preorders aren't up anywhere for the standard edition, and since it's being handled by a third party (Tantalus), I'm worried that we won't be able to preorder or preload, or worse, have it delayed.

I fucking love that game and have since I first played it like in 2000. Too bad many in the team are incompetent assholes. Mystic, the current leader is a touhou cunt who shits up the forums specifically. SSNTails, former leader is gone now. Any hope of 2.2 is mostly lost and probably won't release even for the 20th anniversary of SRB2 in April 2018.

I don't know how many times I ran into an enemy, got crushed because I ran into a wall only to have a floating platform crunch me, or took a jump that led into a bottomless pit, simply because Dimps didn't remotely account for the screen size and how little we see coming ahead in this game.
>>
>>385940163
Wanted to play it thinking it was gonna be fucking awesome because everyone was calling it the "best fangame series ever" when it came out holy shit it's on it's fourth anniversary this saturday.
Anyway, it was one of my least favorite fangames. Playing as Sonic feels like a hunk of shit, and even though Tails is slightly better, the game had really weak level design and was redundant around certain places. The soundtrack is kickass and I downloaded the albums, but the game was so lackluster I'd rather play empty blocky shit like BlitzSonic Engine from 2006.
>>
>>385940163
Like most people have said, level design had zero consideration put into it in terms of what makes classic Sonic zones enjoyable. There was some enjoyable parts, but for the most part it was mediocre.

Loved the music, still listen to the OST occasionally

Because they are not releasing it on Saturn.
>>
>>385941078
I don't see how, honestly. Mania's coming out with hype and people awaiting it every single day. Forces doesn't have a firm release date yet and it's inevitably going for a Winter release, sandwiched by a multitude of major triple-A games from every other side, including Super Mario Odyssey. While only generating casual interest and pretty much disgusting most others half the time with questionable choices. The Sonic community is almost practically up in pitchforks and torches half the time with every other new announcement.

Winter releases are always hell for some games, but Sonic Forces only has multi-plat and the casual interest in a character creator as positives for it. Maybe a return to the Boost formula too if you really like that gameplay style but I feel like even if it's early game, what little we've seen of the level design absolutely lets the entire thing down.
>>
>>385941206
Well Forces is coming out like a month after Odyssey, so who knows.

It's painfully obvious Sonic's running up the burning logs, which means they still have hit detection even when they're on fire. The alternative would be for them to stop having that hit detection when they catch on fire in the first place

There's nothing wrong with it
>>
>>385942191
Because it looks fun. Being able to split second run back up a burning bridge isn't a bad thing.

It's more just a consequence of typical Sonic mechanics of snapping to platforms slightly higher than you when in air + multiple small falling platforms in a diagonal line.
They want the segments to still have collision because otherwise you'd just fall through the exact frame you touch the thing, which would be retarded, and they probably want you to be able to run across if you want even when you have the flame shield.
I'm not sure how you'd maintain the desirable behavior but eliminate the undesirable behavior.
>>

The four I listed are with Taxman and Stealth as part of the main team, but there are several other people helping with art assets, programming, audio (Falk) etc.

Small update on Green Hill Act.2's map since I mostly footage of the found the bottom path & newer footage has changed some level design & tiles for the better. It's actually pretty neat to see the changes in level design. I have a decent amount done on the bottom path for the second have of the stage by the way, so expect that with this merged in like 6 hours or something.

Thoughts on pic related? I'm staying at a cabin in Alaska for the week, so it's pretty much all the classic sonic I've got to play at the moment.

this is what I don't with the argument. "prevents you from going fast" in what way? it punishes you for trying to blindly go as fast as possible sure but if you already know what's coming then how is it "preventing you from going fast"? The idea behind classic sonic according to Naka himself is to "reward the player for knowing the level layout" and that's exactly what the games do.

I was watching an IGN gameplay of GHZ Act 2 out of boredom and noticed something.
During a part Sonic grabs a zipline, when he's about to land on the spring, I see a destructive wall. Could it be another secret Special Stage room? A Knuckles route? Or simply another room with a lot of rings to collect?
By the way, here's the source. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB9RP2SV8HY

I'm afraid guys. I loved sonic when I was younger, but I recently replayed 3 and knuckles and realized how shit the level design was. When you go fast you are humanly unable to react to enemies, many of which are badly placed.

Extremely likely. Marble Garden's column gimmick is in Stardust Speedway, we see it's pulley thing in the booklet but the doodle doesn't resemble the graphics in Marble Garden & then there's this possible leak.

Absolute fags hated him for not being Gamma. Omega only really shows up when Team Dark as a whole is needed, and they haven't been major characters in a main series game since 06 where, Omega didn't have a character

Because there's no way the game with the OC creator just happens to be the same game with the super edgy villain alongside past rivals, one of the main complaints about Generations is that it wasn't fan service enough and the lack of story didn't help, so this time for the 25th anniversary they're obviously going for a Generations 2.0 but this time doing what they haven't done
I mean, c'mon, not even Mephiles looked as deviant-art as Infinite does and ever since Unleashed Sonic Team has been avoiding this kind of over the top crap and i can't see them suddenly doing it now unless it's on purpose, and it looks like it's on purpose, 14 year old me would be shitting to the moon

Even one Route can be pretty tough to memorize. And then if you're aiming for fastest speedrun possible you have to know the fastest route.

The key is more in mastering the physics than memorization.

what you call "pretty tough" I call "lacking the amount of autism to memorize every single little thing for a perfect run"

Yeah but the series got those new writers after Unleashed and this game seems to be the first one in a while that isn't written by them.

Sonic's God tier marketing and merchandising, coupled with being legit good games, really propelled him into a sphere Nintendo was still pussyfooting around with. It was good times.

I don't know about Ken Pontac, but Warren Graff confirmed on twitter he's writing for Forces
>>
>>385954473
Nah, Warren Graff is the writer for Forces, iirc. It's the same faggot.
No idea where Ken Pontac is. Hopefully getting run over by a bus somewhere.

RIP THREAD

He's only doing the English script though, the story itself was done by someone on the Japanese side of things.

I don't understand either. It has a really kick ass track and I found the gimmicks it brought to the table pretty fun. I hope it returns, but I wouldn't mind Hydrocity coming back.

Tfw probably only one that genuinely likes Sonic 3D Blast
I wish they added Volcano Valley Act 1 somewhere in the game.
or maybe a little reference.

This countdown claims we'll get Mania at 8PM EST on the 14th.

Can anyone confirm?

I've completely hated the story and characterization in every game Pontac and Graff have been involved in.
I'd honestly prefer edgy and completely serious and actually thinks it's cool shit like Shadow or 2006.

christ man toasters can play Mania. What kind of ancient archaeological beast are you using to post here?

Of all the timeline memes that get thrown around I would legit be interested in checking out the one where Sega didn't grab a shotgun and shoot themselves in each foot over and over. They did so many things that with retrospect was very obvious self sabotage and it just sucks.
