That was the most recent one right? The 2011 release of CD? Haven't tried it myself.

What gamepad are you gonna use to play mania? I'm stuck with the xbone controller right now but it's not that bad

>>386029286
wii u pro controller!

>>386028667
there are also Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 Taxman versions. Sonic 2 is only on mobile tho...

>>386029286
Saturn controller.

>>386029817
i plan on getting on with an adapter eventually

>>386029886
just do like me.
Swap the inside with a play Sega and you're done.
And if the color of the usb cable bother you, paint it.

>>386029286

DS4 connected to my PC.

>>386029412
My man! Does anyone know how to connect the pro controller to pc by cable? Im stuck just using bluetooth

So is hydrocity confirmed?

Why the fuck not? Mega-CD version is ass in comparison, ignoring the song they couldn't get the rights for.

>>386029482
>>386030885
You can play both on Ouya, and presumably they run on Bluestacks.

>>386030292
Yeah but is there a cable that does?

>You can play both on Ouya
Did... did Sega seriously release them for Ouya?

>>386031536
No. Bluetooth is fine though.

>>386031669
No, they released CD and 4 Ep 1&2, but you can sideload Sonic 1/2 without any problems.

>>386031669
An Ouya is literally just a console-bound Android OS. The Taxman Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 remakes are on the Google Store so naturally you can also play them on an Ouya.

>>386030205
It's not confirmed, but it's highly implied.

>>386031786
Games that require the touchpad, and/or don't have controller support, won't be playable on the Ouya. Devs can also just straight up block the Ouya, and some games have odd bugs that'll stop you playing.

Here's an old incomplete list:

There might be better Android systems out there that'll let you play Sonic 1/2, but the Ouya is a cheap option.

>>386032532
Weird that Blue Spheres is the Bonus Stage instead of the Special Stage. Hope there's an unlockable (near) endless mode like with the original.

>>386032532
The 3D models for the Special Stage look kinda janky. They should have used the Sonic Jam/R models.

I'm so fucking happy the blue spheres are in the game. They're probably better than 3&K itself to me

>>386033386
Well they did cut it off the moment Knuckles got all the spheres. Have to let some things be a surprise.

A new thread so I'm going to go ahead and ask, and I hope for a better and more sane response than I got last time:

You anons ITT admit that 3&K is better than CD in every way, right? Don't you also agree that it's unfair CD got a remake even though it samples music throughout its whole soundtrack while 3&K is strung up on a legal issue, over rights it used to have? I think it's shit, just like CD is. We can all agree that CDfags who like it should be ignored and that 3&K fans are the true fans of Sonic, right?

First, I like how the rings in this version of Blue Spheres count down instead of up so you know how many are left to get a perfect bonus. Second, I didn't realize the time trials were being insta reset until checking out the description. It's a very handy thing to have when small mistakes mean starting over. I wonder how the insta reset is activated. Lastly, the new bonus stage looks super fun to play. I like how the rings function as the timer since that goes hand in hand with the Super forms using rings for the same thing. I hope there's a way to activate the super form without needing to lose a shield like in S3 Complete.

The Mania Team is making me very proud to be a Sonic fan right now.

>>386033871
The aliasing on the bonus stage makes me think it uses a polygonal sphere to walk on.

Nice counterpoint. You're like a stupid kid eating glue, if the glue was labelled Sonic CD.

So now that we got footage of the special stage I want some hyperautist to anaylze it. They've taken background elements from sonic 1, the ufo from CD, the blue spheres from 3, the 'rings as time" mechanic from chaotix, and I'm sure there's more in there

I didn't care for CD when I played it on the Mega-CD, but I ended up loving the HD remaster (probably because the bonus stages were better), and since Sonic 1 & 2 remasters are stuck on garbage systems, it's the only acceptable way to try out the Retro Engine before Mania is released. Plus, much like Sonic 1 or Chaotix, it is worth playing at least once, if you're a Sonic fan, to satisfy your curiosity. Same with SMS/GG games.

You really don't pay attention at all, shitbrain. I kind of expect this kind of mouth-agape conjecture from the type of person who could actually stomach CD but i'm going to make it clear: that's how it should have been. Yes, CD should have been left forgotten on irrelevant on its dead, inaccessible peripheral. It's an injustice that it was resuscitated and now has fans, even people who like it more than 3&K. How do you not get this?

I'm a little sad that the Mania special stages are just flat with no actual slopes or 3D obstacles to be seen, but they do look like fun. I'm still holding out some hope that later stages will include more complex level geometry, but I'm not holding my breath either.

>Blue Sphere

For what purpose? Bonus stage? Could they not come up with another original one? Or does this just confirm Sonic 3 Taxman port never ever since he's using Blue Sphere in Mania instead?

Really revs up those spindashes.

>I can't take opinions contrary to my own so it must be bait
I hope you know how infuriating this attitude is. I'm just sick of CD, okay? Everybody is always talking about Mania having "CD aesthetic" or "CD music", I hate that fucking game and I just don't think it should have gotten the Retro engine remake, certainly not before 3&K. It should be obvious to anyone with eyes as to why but if you want me to, I'll make you guys a list that more carefully dissects the two games and puts forth an argument as to why 3&K is the better game and why love letters like Mania should take inspiration from it, not CD.

They jump from absolute dogshit to incredibly fun as soon as they get a stable framerate, it's pretty impressive.

Also, I really like the way these special stages are looking. They seem fun, fair, and challenging, which is something special stages in Sonic games have struggled with for a while

Honest question:

Why do casuals always say Sonic 2 is the best Sonic game? I don't mean "casual" as in insult, I just mean people that aren't way into Sonic like all of us autists. The general consensus I get from Sonic fans is that either CD or 3K is the best genesis-era Sonic, but when you ask someone that just played the games as a kid or knows of them but never got to deep into them they always say 2 is the best one.

Let's see. If you want portability,
>Switch
Portability. Controllers will probably go well with the game. Finally get to play Classic Sonic while taking a shit.
>Steam
If you have a laptop it's technically portable, and it being a classic sonic game makes it well optimized.
>PS4
Comes with a shit ton of avatars and themes if you pre-order it but that's about it
>Xbone

If you don't want portability, PC/Steam is definitely the best option.

>>386038134
If it were unplayable, then the total time goals would be impossible, aint it?

If anything its only harder than the rest. But yeah, fuck those super bounce floors, fuck em to death even tho its obvious we are gonna deal with them in some fashion in mania.

Also we're talking purely art design faggot. But of you wanna be like that, Metropolis Zone also has better music.

So is this a direct sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles? Or is this something different?

Well if we were talking purely art style Scrap Brain still blows it out of the water, but I'll agree Metropolis' music is better

>>386038386
You have to stop when the icon starts flashing to avoid it. How is that good design?

By not being a total scrub. It's seriously not as hard as you're making it out to be and I just started playing the game this year

Sonic 1 and 2 have controller support.

>>386038275
It's hard to intentionally time travel too. The levels aren't designed for the gimmick of the game.

>>386038612
>Is this even possible?
Absolutely not because Sonic CD's levels throw you into spikes or a wall before you even have the chance to time travel.

>>386038621
Could it be?

>>386038482
Might be related to those blue ring boxes in today's video.

>>386038828
good thing the level designers were smart enough to have specially made parts for you to just time travel

>>386037773
I think 2 was the most played and easily accessible game in the genesis so it wins by being the most "remembered", most people haven't played 3 and see &Knucles as a weird spinoff (even less people has played 3&K).

>>386038828
>Absolutely not because Sonic CD's levels throw you into spikes or a wall before you even have the chance to time travel
I always wanted confirmation that people who complain about CD's level design are just fucking terrible at games but thank you for being so upfront about it.

>get to the end of Act 2
>run through the sign without a boss battle
>sign spins around and says PAST on it before you automatically warp
>then the stage changes to the past and you race Metal Sonic
>time changes throughout the race until you finish in the Good Future because past Sonic destroyed the generators for you
That's how I'd do a level like that, instead of making you destroy generators and stuff during a race.

>>386038672
Who said they didn't? I was just pointing out that not everything on the Google Store is playable on Ouya.

That sounds like it'd be fucking amazing dude. I'd seriously kill for a spectacle-boss fight where the stage changes the further you progress.

>>386038901
The big ring boxes? They make dropped rings bigger and worth more rings each, but maybe breaking boxes in general could count towards the cool score.

>>386038901
The blue ring boxes are the combirings from knuckles chaotix.

They merge your rings into big chunks so you can catch em all back if you get hit.

Originally in chaotix tho, all the rings were merged into one big ring instead of various.

>>386038635
>tfw it ties directly into classic sonic being in Sonic Forces

>>386038901

That's just the combi-ring from Knuckles Chaotix

This guy getting worked up over a video game.

One day you will grow up and realize what a fool you've been. Or you'll just be a fool forever.

>>386038903
>>386038912
Just because you've memorized the level and can compensate for the level design doesn't mean it's good.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying it's poorly designed for it it's supposed to do.
