Sonic Advance isn't the genesis era and rom hacks aren't canon, silly.

>>386228876
Yep.

>>386228883
Why are you so hung up on this Genesis era notion? There is precedent for 2D Amy and I'd like to see that in Mania. I honestly have no fucking idea what your point even is because "playing like Amy" definitely is a thing since she has an established 2D playstyle.
>rom hacks aren't canon
I never said they were you fucking retard. The point is that Amy's Sonic Advance playstyle works just fine for the classic games as rom hacks have proven.

Since Multiplayer is confirmed. What if we had three player multiplayer? Either three different players going through stages, or maybe three different players racing each other through the entire game? Or actual racing courses like the versus mode in Sonic 2 and related?

>>386228836
I don't remember the level being so tall

Except she plays perfectly fine in Sonic 1-3 with only a few issues resulting from level layouts not being designed with her in mind rather than any issues with game mechanics.

You implied that I thought rom hacks were somehow canon when I only brought them up as an example of how Amy's Sonic Advance gameplay translates perfectly well into classic Sonic games. Then you just go on to ignore the point that those rom hacks show how Amy can function in a classic Sonic game and instead focus on the part where I said a bad word. :( Either you're being deliberately obtuse or you're legitimately retarded.

I'm going to be pissed if this game doesn't have a legitimate character select like Sonic Advanced. There's no reason for them to use the old and limited "Sonic & Tails or go fuck yourself solo" option when they're creating their own Sonic game and Sonic engine from the ground up. It only makes sense to do that if you're severely autistic and want 100% parity over quality of life.

>>386230286
I didn't imply anything, I said they weren't canon therefore can't be used as examples since though this is being made by rom hackers it's an official title. Fucking chill.

>>386230408
Like usual with Taxman's remakes you'll be able to play as Sonic+Tails, Sonic alone, Tails alone and Knuckles.
From what I remember the character select screen that was once shown in a video was pretty aesthetic.

>>386230612
refer to >>386229842

>>386230427
Okay, maybe you are just retarded. Let me put it as simply as I can.

1. Amy Rose has a distinct playstyle as we can see from Sonic Advance which while not identical to the classic Sonic games is still very similar.
2. This playstyle translates very well to the megadrive Sonic titles as evidenced by rom hacks.
3. Thus, it would also work for Mania which replicates the physics and style of those games.

As for this shit
>can't be used as examples
They absolutely can be used as examples of how Amy would work in Mania since Mania is based on the same games where Amy's gameplay demonstrably functions perfectly fine, which runs contrary to your retarded assertion that
>the transition would be shaky at best
If one guy in his spare time can smoothly implement Amy's playstyle into the classic games there is no reason why the Mania team with Sega's financial backing could not do the same just as well or even better if they wanted to.

That doesn't make any sense. Anon wants to see Amy playable, and outside of that found in Sonic Advance, the rom hacks provide further playable examples of what he'd like to see her gameplay be like. It doesn't matter if they're "canon" or not.

The badniks themselves are fine and appropriate for an endgame level. Whoever was in charge of the enemy placement needs to be shot though.

>>386230789
Really all I can say is I simply disagree. You can keep losing your shit over that. Especially since the Genesis version of Amy is still a blank slate and doesn't specifically need to be a hammer wielder.

The only Knuckles fight that wasn't was Robo Knuckles in Advance and that was still easy as sin.

>>386230408
To be fair the reason for that in Sonic 3 was because Chuckles was actually a completely new story taking place after the main game.

Unless you mean in the other ports, which I've never played.

Will Master Emerald gets a mention in the game? I hope not even the Mania team have forgotten it.

>>386231213

I said that it should have a legitimate character select and that Sonic Heroes provides a good example of how Knuckles would interact with whoever he's paired with if they're somehow dumbfounded by the concept of letting someone grab onto Knuckles while he's gliding.

>>386231325
How will they crash and burn? They can just force the meme of "Sonic was always shit" and get away it.

>>386231380
That's straight up impossible in many levels since there are rings literally inside walls.

DAILY REMINDER

You now realise that Taxman has done his job, and made the game, but it isn't enough. You now realise the entire Mania game rests in the hands of one ganjin to build hype, not Tee, not Tax, not Aaron

Tyson Hesse

You best hope that animation that drops on the 14th is so god tier that it breaks the internet, because for whatever reason, this game is not being advertised, on -any- of the console shops front page, so that shit needs to be ascended godtier. Sega have fully embraced cringe and WOAH IRONIC WACKINESS XD and it is actually fucking working, now we need a genuine good cut scene, from the heart. The ONLY way you know if Mania is coming out on any console right now is if you manually search for it. No sales = No sequel. Hesse, you have the fucking floor. Save Sega from this game bombing, break the internet, save the cheerleader, save the world.

SEGA: Shall we just release a digital game with no physical, and NOT advertise it? AT ALL?

DRONT GRO TROO FARR MANIIIA TREAMM, I DRON'T WANT YOUR GRAME OUTRELLING MRINE!!!!!!!

This is in no way shape or form me saying this game will be shit, however, it doesn't matter how good or bad it is, if nobody knows it isn't fucking coming out.

As much as I trust Hesse, he'll never beat the Sonic CD star shot. Godspeed. The 14th is D-DAY, mark the date. The animation, depending on how good it is, will be the last hurrah to market this game, because Sega for whatever reason don't want to market there digital only game.

Reminder you only know Mania is coming out if you SEARCH it on consoles, and Switch doesn't even have the damn game on its shop yet, shit best be everywhere come the 15th. FRONT page of EVERY console shop. In our little internet hype bubble it seems everybody is getting it, but the game has to hit normies and casuals

Because not being a naturally argumentative person all I really got is "nuh uh, I disagree" especially on a subject as shallow as Amy having to hit a button to do damage or not.

I hope we still get those remakes on pc one day, though.

I'm personally still wondering if Tails is gonna get a super form or if he's gonna get shafted again for consistency.

>>386228002
So is Time Twisted worth checking out? I'm kind of on a Sonic game spree now.

>>386234063
Nah, I just can't seem to find permanent employment. Everything I get is temporary

>>386234372
It's alright.

>>386234212

Some people believe he's going to get shafted because they think he's overpowered in his super form. Personally, I don't believe it, because all super forms are overpowered.

My money is on all of them getting their super forms. Pretty sure Taxman won't let us down

>>386234474
Now the question there is what color Rose will turn since we've never seen her go Super. My money, if she's in is on either Cyan or pure White

It's decent, but the change where hitting an enemy refreshes your air-attack is kind of game-breaking (but fun at times). The game basically has the recommended shield for the boss you're going to fight right in the level near the boss fight, so don't lose your shield unless you want a bigger challenge.

Sonic World. It's basically a Modern Sonic fangame with a fuckton of characters (pic related) and stages that vary wildly in quality. It's okay, I guess, but it still traps itself within the confines of Modern level design and handling. Needs a LOT more work in my opinion, but the updates are relatively consistent (well, for a Sonic fangme anyway) so I can give credit where credit is due there.

I don't have any nostalgic value to the original since I grew up with the S&K pc collection. I'm sorry man, I just can't get any sweet vibes from it. I also dig the beat on that track despite the bass sounding like wet farts.

What's that character in-between Mighty and Chaos? I don't recognize them at all.

>>386235353
Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a fun time if you want something different but still Classic themed. It's basically Doom but with Sonic in third person. It's a lot better than it sounds. There's also a lot of mods for it to keep you busy if you're into it. Personally, I'd recommend using MD2 3D models if you don't have a toaster.

Sonic Before and After the Sequel are okay games that are held up by their soundtracks. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I had fun with them.

Sonic Time Twisted is hit or miss for me, but if you want something CD-esque maybe give it a go.

There aren't many fangames that are "complete" so those are the only ones that stand out at the moment. The rest you could find through SAGE expos, or SFGHQ if you're particularly desperate for something Sonic related to play.

I heard they got most of their idea for aesthetic from late 80s/early 90s computer art. That's why the ground in Green Hill is checkerboards and the fish and birds in the special stage look kinda low poly 3D.

It's a really shitty pose for an end level pose. It loses its appeal after seeing it multiple times. Not surprising that he would shove something like that in the game just because he thought it looked cool in the animation. The game has lackluster presentation all over the place. Just look at that ugly ass hud.

>>386238680
Well Taxman and Stealth very much already proved themselves to Sega by making flawless remakes of Sonic 1 and 2 while Taxman did CD himself.

Nobody would be complaining if Forces' Classic level design didn't look fucking awful from the Green Hill clip they shown

>>386240317
if mania does much better than forces by comparison it could be that sega takes classic sonic more seriously
they seem to be on the right track by letting mania become a reality

Yeah they would have been were complaining about it before they showed it and no mater how good it was people weren't going to change their mind because they already deemed it "a useless gimmick", every post I saw on the subject since revealed was hatred for classic sonic in forces just by virtue of being in the game, not for any other reason until the footage came out.

>>386240672
You're right, we need Mable Zone too

>>386235730
This just tells me they canceled Hydrocity and made flying battery instead.

>>386239593

It would be the one that would get the most attention. CD still had this mystical thing about it being the one game most people didn't get to experience despite Gems Collection and the PC version existing.

A Sonic 1 remake wouldn't catch anyone's eye since it's available on every thing already. A Sonic CD remake though? That shit is easy press and an easy sell.

Probably because the more information they reveal, the more pointless Classic Sonic looks in the game other than to sell copies to a demographic that doesn't give a shit. Modern Classic Sonic is still better than any of the 2D from Colors or God forbid Lost World, but that probably should've been implemented into Modern Sonic's moveset instead of obviously pulling everything they can from Generations

Those games are mediocre to bad. Sonic CD is terrible.

I was a SNES kid growing up and never actually owned a Genesis. Played Sonic retroactively, please accept me.

what kind of mechanics would you suggest for new classic sonic games in the future to keep the wheel spinning, or no new mechanics at all?

Honestly, I'm very disappointed that like at least half of the game is old levels. Feels like a ROM hack or a "Greatest Hits" like compilation instead of an independent entry in the series.

That insta shield thing when you press the jump button twice.

New characters with new abilities instead of just tacking a million abilities onto Sonic, Tails or Knuckles. Drop Dash makes sense because it keeps the speed and flow of Sonic without being a hindrance to the level design *cough*Homing Attack*cough*

>>386242156
They're so different that they're the same in name only.

>>386242065
The spindash, insta-shield and drop dash are all that Sonic need.

>>386242170
WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS GAME.

The Drop Dash is only good for speedrunners who don't want to be assed to stop and charge up a Spin Dash. In terms of practical platforming, I don't see it being helpful.

>people hyped for a literal rehash.

I liked the original Sonic games but lets be honest here, this is a zombie franchise. It's walking around but it's already dead.
They've tried shit for ages and it was all garbage to a point they're now going back to basics and it's the most excitement the franchise can get. You know what that is? it's a franchise that can't move forward because every further step it takes is just a mistake. It can only seem to be good by staying where it started, at step one. It has failed to progress in a positive way and now it has run out of places to go.

If anything Reviewers have often given a lot of Sonic games way too high scores. Like Advance 2 and 3 were shit games so were the Rush games

It's more the levels are just using the name and graphics of the old zone but everything's different, specially in Act 2.

Well a Greatest Hits album would feel better than the original album, if the originals you had some elements you weren't fond of to begin with. Plus it's not just a greatest hits, but they include remixes that make the original elements feel new and fresh too. If people can say Generations if their favorite game, there's no way Mania won't also impress people

Name your 5 favorite series.

The instashield shit was only good for attacking mecha sonic when he used the metropolis boss.
Otherwise it was so pointless

That was SA2 thing. In 3&K master emerald powers up your regular emeralds into super emeralds. And it can make an island or death star ascend to heaven so it's powerful energy source.

Sonic 3D Blast was my first Sonic game, ironically. Bought 1, 2, 3&K after that. Even Spinball.

>>386241745
you would be a BRAVE HEARTED HERO to me if you did that.

>>386242346
Stop trying to make Sonic into a metroidvania
this shit already has enough exploration as it is, I just want to run platform and dodge enemies.

>>386242413
That guy is a faggot, but the insta shield had plenty of uses.

Reminder that someone spent hours of their life creating this
