>>386048469

One thing I noticed is that if this is really the final build, the special stage ring is still inaccessible. Wonder if the blue sphere bonus stage is used as an unlock for them.

>>386048620

It's literally just the Sonic CD special stage. Are you old enough to be here?

I think it's more likely that the special rings are just inaccessible in Time Attack Mode.

>>386048876
The Sonic model is the one from Sonic Jam, so they're probably just based off that

>>386048993
Its probably because its the Time Trial mode.

>>386048993
Or simply the special stages aren't available in Time Attack.

If you played the original or Gems Collection version, it's cause the framerate was choppy as fuck and the UFOs were super dickish.

Thankfully the Taxman version makes them run smoothly and it also feels like the UFOs aren't as annoying to hit anymore. Maybe he made their hitbox better.

The framerate is not that bad actually, it's a matter of luck whenever you want to hit an UFO because of their errant and dickish patterns which start in Special Stage 4.

Well, this solves the variety problem pepple were concerned about. Even if half the zones are old ones, you have new zones with two very different acts. Clever

That's the Combi Ring & it just makes it so when you get hit bigger rings carrying more of what you had before getting hit come out of you. It's actually a nerfed version of it from Knuckles' Chaotix since that just dropped 1 big ring. Also the stage reloaded since Time Trials let you do that in a flash.

>>386060823
define "worth"

>>386060772
are you running on windows 3.1?

>>386060823
No

The only good aspects are the Special Stages, lack of lives and music. It's barely a game otherwise, and the gimmick really wears thin super fast

Just play Chaotix in Sonic Classic Heroes

>>386060823
If you have a second player it can be alright to screw around in but the game is meh to bad at worst to most. I had fun with it anyways, it sure wooed me over with it's visuals & music anyways, plus the character have some fun abilities.

hope they all get proven wrong and it sells big numbers

>>386060823
Is quite fun with another player. You will have to learn to move with the other.
Playing alone is just ok, but not than fun. The level design is empty hallways made for you to run, and when it's not like that it's worse.
But... it's the most beautiful Sonic game ever made with also a good OST. Door into summer makes me nostalgic.

>>386060823
Its a decent 6.5/10. It's worth it for a Sonic game that's pretty unique, but it also has some weird design decisions. The music is really good too.

Sonic is live streaming on youtube. Could be something cool or interesting? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q23cNxnnaPw

So we all agree that 3&K is objectively better than CD in every possible way, right?

>>386061042
Sonic games have consistently been heavily criticized while selling pretty well, it won't stop them. It's always very easy to just attribute good sales to Sonic's neurotic fans who apparently exist "for no reason".

>>386060823
Only if you know how to use the ring mechanic. Otherwise you'll become an uninterested faggot who ditches the game before entering the hub world, going around the internet saying it's a fucking piece of shit like 80%of the people who played the game.

>Sonic CD is the only classic Sonic I've never played
>It's not on Google Play anymore

Why the fuck did they remove it? I know it's on Steam and stuff, but I kinda wanted to bring it to work.

>>386062392
Check the Amazon app. That's where I got it.

>Implying Metal Sonic race doesn't make up for it
I say this as someone who just endured the Collision Chaos boss.

So you obviously get Chaos Emeralds from UFO. You can see it carrying one in the trailer.
But what's the reward for Blue Spheres? It's way too long of a minigame to be a simple bonus for points and lives like S3K. There has to be something of equal importants to the Chaos Emeralds.

>>386062392
Dude just hook up your GameCube at work and play the Gems version :^)

How popular are the Taxman ports in Japan?

>>386062531
It doesn't. You're fighting the level design more than Metal Sonic himself. It would've been nice as an actual race

That said Sonic 1 only had like 5 bosses and maybe two of them are clever. This series clearly doesn't have much pride in bosses

>>386062606
Dunno, Taxman hasn't done any ports.
Only remakes.

>>386051646
I always had alot of trouble with the first's special stages because i could never fucking get ti to spin how i wanted it.

Contrarians are out tonight

>>386062704
Taxman reverse engineers the games and copies the code into a new language and compiles it for whatever hardware is needed.
He has only ever ported games.

>tfw my gf and I are Sonic Fans

Just find yourself a qt autist and you too can become an exception to this rule.

>>386062893
They're straight up remakes, dude.

>>386062392
>but I kinda wanted to bring it to work.
why?

>>386062837
GG2 > GG1 > Chaotix > CD > Triple Trouble > 1 > Sonic Chaos > 2 >>>>> 3&K

>>386062723
I wonder if Mania will have any Nights references.

>>386062893
he cannot copy the code because it is in assembly. By definition reverse engineering is not porting, since the code is obfuscated

>tfw I share the same birthday like Sonic

>>386048501
Small details like that are what make games so great.

>>386063034
I hope so, I miss that series dearly . It would make sense since this is a "Saturn" Sonic game.

>>386062837
>They're not fellating 3&K so they must be contrarian
I like CD's aesthetic, I like its music, and I love its focus on pure physics showcasing. The time gimmick is also cool. Suck my dick maybe.

Ah, a challenge! *clears throat*
>Looks like promised day has finally arrived. After going for years upon dreadful years of the company SEGA having their heads smacked in a mountain of blow whenever they make a new game that bastardizes their Sonic franchise just a little bit more, they finally clean the shite from their ears and listen to fans about what they want. A low and behold, they roll out the red carpet with the anticipated Sonic Mania, a game good for two reasons.
>1.
>The games goes back the old formula that made Sonic noteworthy in the first place.
>2.
>SEGA finally learned to stay the FOCK out the way!
That's all I got for now. I didn't want to make this too long, but I got a 50-50 shot at nailing his smarm.

>>386063204
>I love its focus on pure physics showcasing
What classic game doesn't do this? Hell, Chaotix takes it to the next level. That doesn't mean it's good.
Time gimmick is garbo too
>Suck my dick maybe
You're so beta that you can't even be impolite. Suck my fucking dick, choke on it.

CD is all style bad substance

LOL

I expect a fucking 2/10 turd review from him.

>>386061267

only half of it...the last half

>>386063797
Didn't he praies Sonic 4?

>>386063797

He's contrarian as fuck. He'll give it an 11/10 if everyone else gives it a 6-7.

>>386063797
To be fair, I believe Jim did give some praise to Sonic 4 and Generations.

>the game comes in 11 or so days.
>there wont be any more reveal trailers, maybe just a song release, but only if were lucky.
>we are gonna get bombarded violently with tons and tons of EBINA FEIK LEEKS for 12 STRAIGHT DAYS!.

I accept any suggestion, outside the obvious leaving 4chan, what can i do?

>>386060823

As someone who owned it on 32X.......no.

>>386063631
Literally none of the Genesis games have total physics playgrounds for zones like CD does.
