Thinking about getting a Genesis controller for my Steam version. Anybody have any suggestions on which one to go with?

>>385956405
it won't need to be "obvious", since knux will break through the wall before you even notice it's there

>>385956416
The statue is fun to fuck with your friends if you have those as every time you push the switch it plays the "SEEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAAAAA" sound, and the statue itself looks pretty cool. Not to mention it has a cartridge shaped box which may be a real Genesis cartridge with Sonic 3 Complete on it that contains a golden ring. Pretty cool stuff, but it's available on XBone only right now, so it's your decision.

>>385956239
Huh, very interesting, if Graff is really just handling localization then that's a non-issue since i play in japanese

its it not obvious enough?

>>385956887
Did you like the writing quality in Colors, Generations and Lost World?

>>385956887
iirc, it's the same guy who wrote the script for Colors, Unleashed, Generations and Lost World, so that's a matter of opinions. Personally, i'd say it's a bad thing.

>>385956936
Best D-Pad ever created.

>>385956964
Not really.

>>385957076
Then it's a good thing

>>385956985
Unleashed was written by a different team than the others. Colors is when they brought in the Happy Tree Friends guys. I wish they would just hire Ian Flynn.

>>385956958
listen, IGN struggles with loops. You need to spoonfeed them this kind of stuff

do you think Metropolis zone is likely to be in this game ?

i want to hear the remix ost of this one in mania

it could take elements from every zones with lava and also city industrial zones from sonic CD

>>385957285
I really didn't like Metropolis so I hope not

>>385957285
I'd take it if it removed the screw gimmick but then it wouldn't be metropolis

>>385956985
>Unleashed

metropolis never flowed well

It's funny, I remember Colors being recieved farly well in terms of the new writing but now everyone seems to have turned against Pontac and Graff.

Colors isn't that bad honestly. It's cringy, silly and hard to take seriously but it's literally no worse than Heroes. They pretty much single handedly made this level design worth it

Generations and Lost World were abysmal though

>>385957474
Colors was gimmicky garbage.

>>385957474
I think people generally saw Colors as a step in the right direction after years of the Sonic series appearing to take itself far too seriously, but it eventually became clear that Sonic has now just gone to the complete opposite extreme.

Why would you even consider taking Sonic seriously in the first place

>>385956887
It's the same guy who helped write Sonic '06, so make of that what you will.

>>385957474
It was cute, but by the time Lost World came out people got sick of them, so now everyone retroactively shits on Colors' as a sort of package deal. Looking back it's a bit cringey but nothing offensively bad.

>but BALDY MCNOSEHAIR

Yeah that's the "a bit cringey" part. Everything else was just hit or miss. Generations was barely even there but Lost World's story was all over the place in terms of tone and characterization. Which is perfect, since Lost World itself didn't know what it wanted to be either.

>>385957897
Technically not confirmed, but I imagine it would automatically remove Aquatic Ruin and Tidal Tempest even before seeing any footage

>>385957815
>>385957894
there's a reason why Metropolis is often people's least favorite zone in the series.

>>385957930
Why did Sonic Team post-Adventure?

>>385958030
The answer is above my head

Sonic 3 & Knuckles had the best writing.

>>385958025
I don't mind it, the nostalgia is too strong. It always reminds me of sitting in my friend's bedroom trying to beat it and dying over and over again

>>385957930
>>385958030
>>385958082
S3&K took itself seriously. Eggman actually came across as a threat.

>>385957930
seems like fans either want nothing but silliness or nothing but seriousness. It's better to find a balance.

>>385957474
Colors was fine for a smaller light hearted adventure, but they've shown they can't do anything beyond that

>>385957474
The problem with the writing of Colors is that it essentially goes to the complete opposite of the Sonic 06 spectrum.

Whereas Sonic 06 and Shadow The Hedgehog were too serious and full of themselves, Colors is just a cartoony farce with crappy Saturday morning cartoon writing that just isn't funny or charming to listen to.

>BALDY NOSEHAIR XD

Hey guys, leaker here.
Review copies of Sonic Mania are currently being sent out. Watch out for spoilers.

There is a secret sixth Hard-Boiled Heavy character who appears in multiple Zones.
After defeating him five times, he will turn against Eggman and become a playable character.

New Boss incoming

Ian Flynn would be worse than Pontac and Graff and you know it

For one thing Sonic-wise he's only been a writer of a long-term comic universe that had ages to flesh everything out even after being rebooted, and two eleven-minute comedic cartoon episodes
He has no experience with crafting a game story

For another crossing over villains has never worked out in Archie
I point you towards Worlds Unite which was a complete shitshow featuring a bunch of vestigial characters

And finally why would we be trusting Flynn to write OCs? At all?

I don't get how so many people have trouble with it, or consider it anything less than he best special stage.

>>385959483
I find the UFOs and Blue Spheres to be more interesting but I agree, the Sonic 1 special stages are really nothing that troublesome. You just gotta know how Sonic works when in a ball & take advantage of the R circles & speed down circle you find through them.

I mean still pretty cringy but it's not offensively so.

I'm playing Advance 2 and 3. Scratches the itch, but not quite the classic genesis one.

The Hyperkin GN6 controller is pretty good. Buttons are harder than the real thing. Sometimes it feels like the cord is barely attached to the controller, but I've had mine for a year so far with no durability problems.

>>385959980

>>385960065
It's referring to the fact that Hydrocity was leaked for Mania. We've decided it's the only leak that's safe to discuss non-spoilered with regards to leaks

>>385959793
Yes, Sonic Mania is a ROMhack.

>>385960247
I don't understand the whole "modding community" thing. There were no mods for Sonic CD, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

So most people agree that 3&K is the best. But which half do you prefer? It's a very tough call for me but I think I prefer the Sonic 3 half a tad more. It has what IMO is the weakest level (Carnival Night) but it also has the best. S&K doesn't really have any bad levels (Sandopolis is fine ya babies) but none of them match Hydrocity or Ice Cap.

I prefer Flying Battery due to the interior sections & it has so many more interesting mechanics going on from these things, the magnetizes that pull spiked balls & platforms upward, the animal capsules that hold badniks, rings, can be used as a spring & etc, the handles you grab onto which are usually placed over those flamethrowers that have springs on top, rotating cylinders from Metropolis & probably more that I'm forgetting. There's also the level design that has some nice alternate paths with those invisible blocks showing up to help you get further up & obviously the music wins me over more. I still like Wing Fortress though, I don't see why people dislike it beyond the boss, it's sure as hell not Metropolis or a waiting game like Sky Chase.

I'm looking forward to Mania, but it's going to be sad when these threads are gone
The most sane place to talk about classic Sonic imo

>>385957474
Here's the thing: Colors was okay. It's cheesy, it's for kids, the plot doesn't take itself very seriously even when the stakes get amped up. Sure, whatever. Generations comes out, and it not only barely has plot at all but it's kind of awkwardly written, and there's implications that there's even story they left on the cutting room floor, like where the fuck Classic Tails came from. Then Lost World comes out, and there's unanswered things and plot holes, the Deadly Six are some of the most vain and boring antagonists anyone's seen in the franchise, the story attempts drama but comes off as forced and makes Tails come off as a jealous dick for no good reason whatsoever, and the humor gets too full of itself and thinking it's genuinely clever.

We already have Sonic Boom, we don't need more "hey tails did you catch that pun i made at eggman's expense, pretty cool right". And now Infinite and his nu-metal are on the scene, and where the story seemed serious before from earlier trailers, now it looks like a fucking self-parody and undermining its attempts to be darker from the outset.

At least can't be crushed by the stairs in Chemical Plant since he has a smaller hit box.

>>385965864
That's not my point. It's moreso that while Sonic and Tails will be freshened up and improved from older stuff, Knuckles is like some strange hybrid amalgamation of his S3&K and Chaotix sprites while still being notably altered.

Not to downplay the effort between the three of them, it just seems weird that Knuckles got the most revision and it wasn't to try to make him S2-styled either.

>>385966097
He may have a mask but you can see the rest of his body, so you could tell if he was the same animal as you.

I've been making that assumption for a while already.
But it doesn't exactly work if your character's female, unless it's just an alternate universe possibility rather than literally them.
Tails fits the profile too, and Infinite has a bunch of strange tendrils behind him.

>>385966097
He's biolizard. Obviously mutated over time. He can use chaos control as well so whose to say that he didn't escape during Adventure 2's story? Listen to his theme. He's fought Sonic before, and seems like he has a personal vendetta against Sonic. Also, he's the same color.

Yeah I'm stretching but fuck you I can make a bullshit theory too dammit.

Might be a dumb question, but I'll be honest I don't know a thing about PCs

Let classic fans have their fun. They have been beaten down and abused for many many years and now there is finally hope. I suppose many people are going to miss these threads once they are gone so let's enjoy the moment while it lasts.

I wonder how many different abilities they can give theoretical additional characters, since its just the one button in classic Sonic game design. (Although, using a 2nd separate button for turning super and back to normal when you have the emeralds is acceptable to me).

Amy would probably have her hammer, and maybe the super peel out instead of the spin-dash.

There is this game SEGA made called Phantasy Star Online 2 that plays around with this so I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again.

and yes, the player character can be WAY too different from this template and yet they still went with it.

Fuck off

But he only has one tail.

I mean, why go through all this effort when I could just, from the comfort of my own home and chair, visit the bay of pirates? The fuck is wrong with you guys? Your suggestions don't make any sense, they have no benefit over my just pirating.

So maybe when the inevitable sequel comes out it'll go Gunvolt style and get a 1 and 2 pack with an extra bonus or two.

I really appreciate the rings leading you into jumping, allowing this to be discovered by players. Teaching by level design.

Duh, he cut one of his tails off, trimmed them lengthwise into several pieces and glued them to the back of his head.

>>385970623
Why, did he have a mental breakdown?

>>385970558
because they're using Mania's sales to dictate the future of the series and if Forces sells one more copy than Mania I will bitchslap you through the computer screen

>>385970345
I think it's because it's Sega of Japan doing this. They've always been weary and given Sega of America the stinkeye, and Iizuka and the SoJ execs were probably like,
>"Man, no one actually wants a dedicated Classic Sonic game, Sonic 4 already failed."
Then Taxman and Stealth show off Mania, it got way more praise than Forces, and I half-imagine SoJ silently shuffling their feet wondering what the fuck is wrong with us and why we hated Sonic 4 but lavish Mania with praise

>some time in the future
>one of Tails tails gets cut off during an adventure
>he goes batshit insane
>travels to the past and teams with Eggman to kill Sonic

Fuck. that really sucks. I like having physical. Can't believe they made a collectors edition without a game.

>>385964752
I appreciate you took my advice and slowed down the animation speed. Much easier to see.

>>385970747
Considering his song has him singing about being in suffering but dealing with it to firmly ascertain the infinite power he wields, along with the fact that it seems to imply he's not 100% inherently evil, just a massively egotistical bastard out to destroy all you know and love?

Yeah, yeah I can him as having a mental breakdown in the future and going full evil mode by coming to the past on some misguided ideal of vengeance.

>bung!
?

why they refuse to launch on 3ds

>>385970558
just admit you're a neet with no ability to buy stuff online

>>385970773
I don't give a fuck. I'd rather not spend my money on toys.

>>385970993
The original anon requested "full speed" so I had it animate that quickly. But you probably already know that.
Everyone else was right, though. The majority looks better a little slower.
It's a stupid little comparison gif and for some reason I feel proud of it. Sad, right?

It's Tails from the timeline where Sonic failed to rescue him and he survived but went crazy.

Princess Elise pls

There is a Tails/Knuckles exclusive route in the mobile remakes if you fly down the first zipline pit.

I'm surprised the Switch version of Mania isn't getting some kind of amiibo integration

>A Sonic romhack with Spongebob that controls like his Supersponge incarnation with Genesis renditions of the songs from the game will never exist

Seems everyone's leaving both Sonic games alone for exclusivity, which is good since I don't need some console-exclusive or retailer-exclusive shirts for Sonic Forces

I don't know how I'd react if Forces turns out to be based on the bad ending of one of the 8 bit sonic games.

My little sister got this game for his 10th birthday. She's 25 now.
How time flies.

Stealth needs a haircut. I think he is trying to keep the hair he is because of that receding hair line, but shit looks greasy and rather unkempt

>>385970774
Why Sega of Japan still exists
