I had a dream that Sega returned to the console market based on the success of Sonic Mania and the entire launch library featured retro styled iterations of their classic IP. In my dream, there was a new classic Alex Kidd and Ecco the Dolphin and featured an Amiibo-esque gimmick where you could switch out the protagonist of any game with another Sega owned IP (e.g. Play at Knuckles in Comix Zone).

The dream ends with me realising that this is not real and refusing to play the console because it would most likely wake me up but I woke up anyway.

No, seriously. Shut the fuck up. Take your shit somewhere else.

I'll go with my favorite from each game.

1: Scrap brain (I like to be tortured)
2: Casino night (Dev's urge to go gamble during development and getting inspired of this level is the evidence of god)
CD: Starlight speedway (best AESTHETICS of all time)
3: Marble Garden (It's huge and has lots of giant donuts in it. And I can boing endlessly on fake spikes)
K: It's hard to pick, I think every S&K level is masterpiece. Might be Death egg, for having the coolest atmosphere and anti-gravity and zero-gravity gimmicks.
>>
>>386296442
I had that. The only one I could ever get working was the S&K collection. That port of CD is infamous for being incompatible with modern comps though.

Hope they work for you though
>>
>>386296442
That's exactly how I got into the series. I still have the CDs for Knuckles Collection and CD lying around somewhere.

>>386296518
I hope Mania doesn't have a casino or carnival themed level. More power to the people who enjoy them but I've disliked each and every one.

Sonic Team needs to stop worrying about the length of their game by padding it out with dull shit and remember that the reason why the classic games are so loved is because of their replayability.

What do you think about the difficulty of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2? Do you think they are too difficult for first time players?
>>
>>386297429
The problem is that they have very platform focused parts early on (Marble Zone & Chemical Plant act 2) and first time players won't be used to Sonic's controls at that point. I mean as far as a 2d platformers go I never considered the Sonic games to be ridiculously hard. 1 is probably the hardest and even then it's nothing compared to NES era games.

Sonic 1 is hard at first because new players are expecting speed but then get thrown into Marble Zone.

Sonic 2 is pretty easy but then begins to get challenging at Metropolis Zone.

Sonic 1 gets easy when you learn how to play, Sonic 2 gets you ready for a harder challenge.

>>386297429
I played through 1 for my first time two days ago. Platforming sections felt awkward due to the heavy momentum focused movement, but I wouldn't call them outright bad. Difficulty wise I can't say it was hard, only cheap every now and then, and I don't mean the "bad guy in your way you can't react to" cheap, but some very specific instances where the game overpunishes you for making a mistake or going TOO fast. I'm fine with enemies on the path because the ring system makes dying to them actualy pretty rare, and every time I found myself at a spot to pick up speed I curled up into a ball anyway.

My main problem was level design really, its all heavily broken into a designated platforming section or a designated go fast section, I imagine the later titles will more effectively utilise the physics Sonic works with and blend the two together more seamlessly, or at least make the platforming sections a tad faster. I definitely found some platforming sections where you had to use momentum to pass pretty fun to do so at first, though those were mainly half-pipe structures glued together, Iḿ definitely looking forwards to seeing what Sonic 2 and 3 have to offer.

>>386298363
I feel like Studiopolis only has so many references because it's essentially the demo that they showed off to pitch the game to Iizuka and they wanted to show off how knowledgable they were about Sonic. There are references in Mirage Saloon, but I'm sure there are less of them.
>>
>>386297924
I'd say the transition is Oil Ocean. Prior to that the zones are all simple and easy then you're put into a zone that's more open and the badniks are intentionally placed in ways to break your momentum. Metropolis does the same but it's much more confined making it more glaring.
>>
>>386293648
Mania 2 should have the playable characters be Sonic, Amy, and Fang just to switch it up.
Maybe make Knuckles and Tails unlockable.
>>
>>386298494
Sorry but CD will always have the best music imo.

I'll give you Black Knight as I don't remember much about the lead up to that game. Outside of the redesigns people were hopeful about Boom at first because of the involvement of ex-Naughty Dog people and the fact it wasn't Sonic Team. It wasn't until people played it at E3 that people realized how bad it was going to be.

the cycle involves promises of return to the form and going back to the roots, then shitting all over them with gimmicks and characters no-one asked for and no-one knew about
this is exactly what unleashed did after 06's colossal reputational debacle, the day gameplay was revealed first and people liked it, then we all know how that turned out

cycle doesn't apply to heroes because it never set out to "go back to roots"
colors broke the cycle through being regarded generally good and not introducing any furry characters

no-one gives a shit about spin-off throwaway games like black knight or rivals by the way

That sounds dumb even though it's probably really the reason people dislike them, like the main game people should just get a better grasp at the controls & how Sonic handles in them then, also take advantage of the rotation circles & speed downs. The only thing I can understand with what I said being an issue is how you don't have many chances at practicing/getting all the Emeralds if you fail.

suddenly revealing features and characters no-one asked for is an important element of the cycle that tends to be overlooked nowadays as people just simplify the cycle to "sonic fans expected a good game but got a bad game instead"
with sonic 4 people got more or less what they expected after the initial reveal, except in a completely shittified form

if you want to count homing attack, which wasn't on the debut trailer iirc, as that sudden new feature, then i guess you can chalk up sonic 4 as matching the cycle

Consider this:
Dimps had a good track record over the years and they were known for making good Sonic games. Take Sonic Advance for example: a good game that was pretty accurate to its Genesis counterparts and felt like a classic game, or even Rush, which was a great game to introduce the boost mechanic. When Sonic 4 was announced, people lost their shit and were speculating how good would it be since everyone would trust Dimps at this moment. The final product ended up being a disappointment because: A) The songs were nothing memorable or good. Good songs are core in the whole franchise, so a Sonic game with bad songs just doesn't feel like a Sonic game (see: Chronicles. Fuck you BioWare). B) The physics. Seriously, taking the Rush physics was a terrible idea, as they are pretty bad without the boost. Not to mention, the controls are watered down version of the classic titles and winning momentum takes no effort whatsoever. Again, good physics are core in a Sonic title, so having such bad ones is underwhelming. C) Rehash. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't care if there was a little of rehash in a vidya sequel of a series I like, but this game took it and made it too far, as every fucking stage is (in order of appearance) Green Hill, Casino Night, Labyrinth and Metropolis with different names. Seriously, this is too delusional. D) The graphics. They are absolutely SHIT. Sonic itself looks plain boring, the backgrounds are uninteresting, the badniks are literal rehash with ugly 2.5D models and the rest looks too "eh". E) THE HOMING ATTACK. Oh my Lord, this has to be the worst thing that ever happened to a 2D-like game ever. For some reason, Dimps took the homing attack and forced you to use it every 20 seconds with Bubbles as the homing attack bitch. It's boring, takes no effort whatsoever to reach the top part and throws the fun factor away.
In conclusion, Sonic 4 ended as the disappointment of the year and nobody likes Dimps since then.

So I just beat Sonic 1 again and jesus christ I don't remember it being so bad. I don't know if it's the steam version or something but the collision feels all sorts of fucked up and I've never had the jump glitch happen so much ever, it even got me killed. Maybe I just need a new controller or something, because even rolling felt like a pain in the ass. Ugh and the ground speed cap and being unable to air control after launching at high speed. And the Spring Yard boss clipped me through the damn ground.

Shut the fuck up. I don't like Sonic 4, but that doesn't make Sonic Mania said game. If it was Sonic 4, it'd be TITLED Sonic 4. Just because you like one and not the other doesn't denounce it from being Sonic 4. It's the same shit as when people call Sonic 06 "Sonic Adventure 3". Just because it plays closest doesn't make it the fucking third iteration.
By this shitty logic, The Sonic Advance Saga is actually Sonic 4: Episodes I, II and III. No, even better, Chaotix was Sonic 4. Better yet, Sonic CD was actually Sonic 3, and Sonic 3&K were Sonic 4 split up into Episodes I and II.

Sonic Mania is being developed closely to the specs of a Saturn, Saturn excelled at 2D that means Increased animation and frames, and had limited 3D that was perfect for Special Stages as seen in Sonic 3D Blast's special stages developed by Sonic Team This is what Sonic should have been on Saturn instead of chaseing Mario 64 and ultimately failing, If Yuji Naka didn't make Nights and Sonic Team developed Sonic 4 for the Saturn instead of STI this is what it would have been, Sonic Xtreme was never going to be a good game, we got the shit timeline where Sega completely bungled Sonic in the 32 Bit era by trying to make him 3D before the hardware was ready, if they played to the Saturn's strengths and just made Sonic Mania for Saturn and called it Sonic 4 the world would be a much different place

Come on dude, I don't mind shadow but it's just stupid to put him in a game that's about celebrating the classic era.

Still, I hope CW/PWG/HCG's next Sonic game isn't strictly another "classic" game. I'd like to see them implement characters like Blaze and Shadow in a proper Sonic game with actual physics and level design. I also hope they don't just ride out the same aesthetic forever either, one of Sonic's strengths as a franchise is that it's experimental and varied. Even during the golden age, 1 and CD were distinct from 2, which was distinct from 3&K, which was distinct from Spinball, which was distinct from SatAM, which was distinct from AoStH, etc.

Leaker here.

There will be 3 unlockable characters.

Rosy will be unlockable just by completing the game for the first time. At a point in the story, you will find that Amy has been trailing behind the guys on their adventure as she saves them from disaster towards the end of the game. shortly after that, the final boss will ensue and after the credits you will unlock her.

Rosy's special move is the "Hammer Rotation Attack," which is a revamped version of the Insta-shield Sonic had in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, performed with her hammer.

The second character, Metal Sonic, will be unlockable when you obtain half of the gold medals.

Metal Sonic's special ability will be the "Rocket Dash." Being able to dash without using a Spin Dash, and a mid air dash similar to the Flame Shield.

The third character, Mighty, will be unlockable by unlocking 98% of the Gold Medals.


Mighty's special move is that when he jumps, you can throw a ring a certain distance and pull yourself to it, somewhat as a throwback to Knuckles Chaotix. The move will simply be called the "Ring Rope".

Gold Medals are unlockable in one of three ways: Getting Perfects in the Blue Spheres bonus stages, completing challenges in the new "Challenge Mode" unlocked after completing the game, and completing Time Attack mode within a certain time for each act.

The Gold Medals will be used to unlock various things besides characters too, such as concept art, the option to use the original non-remixed music tracks for remixed zones, and a few various zones that aren't accessible through the main story, such as remixed zones from some of the spinoff games of the classic era, (Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic 3D Blast, etc) and one more brand new zone. The new brand new zone will be unlocked after obtaining every medal in the game.

The game will have 100 Gold Medals.
28 for the Time Trials of each conventional act.
22 for each of the Perfects in the Blue Sphere stages.
50 for the challenges in Challenge Mode.

(1/2)
>>
>>386313453

A new thing will unlock every 2% of the Gold Medals you obtain.

Metal Sonic and Mighty have no story attached, and will just play through the zones without it.

Debug mode and all of the unlockable non-story zones will be available in the Level Select screen.

Level Select won't be accessible no matter what until you beat the game at least once. After the credits, the game gives you the cheat code to unlock the Level Select menu in a fashion of how you unlocked them in the old games. But once you access Level Select once, it will be available as an option on the Title Screen. You can still enter the code if you desire to access it every time like in the old games though.

Challenge Mode will be on the Title Screen Menu too.

And as for the people who want Fang, Bean, and Bark to return, their cameos on the wanted signs in Mirage Saloon is more than just an easter egg. Each of them will be a boss in Act 1 of Mirage Saloon depending on which character you are playing as.

For Sonic, it will be Fang.
For Tails, it will be Bean.
For Knuckles, it will be Bark.

If you are playing as one of the unlockable characters in Mirage Saloon, Amy's Act 1 boss will be Bean.
Metal Sonic's will be Fang.
Mighty's will be Bark.

Keiku Utoku will be returning to sing over an instrumental produced by Tee Lopes and Hyper Potions.

The animation itself will feature snippets of Sonic blasting through Green Hill, Tails running through Chemical Plant, Knuckles gliding and punching through Hydrocity, Eggman flying through Flying Battery, and Heavy Gunner flying through Stardust Speedway. Then you'll see Sonic Tails and Knuckles running across a new greenery looking area and all eventually meeting up together, similar to what we saw in the Pre Order Trailer. Then they will get on the elevator and come out to see Studiopolis Zone, and you can faintly see Eggman and Heavy Gunner in the background. Sonic and friends will all 3 start running through Studiopolis together and then the Sonic Mania logo will appear on screen.

What non-Sonic games or other hobbies are you guys enjoying to pass the time? Already finished all the Classics again so I'm done with them for now so I don't burn out before Mania. Currently playing:

Is it a good idea to go into offline mode in order to avoid spoilers? I'm conflicted because while I do want to avoids spoilers, I also want to experience the hype with you guys when Mania is just about to be released.

It's been 23 years since Sonic and Knuckles, and now the real Sonic 4 is less than 10 days away. But soon it will just be a few days away, and then one day away, then a few hours away...

What if Fang jumped with his tail, and used his gun as a second jump?
Like you jump up with his spring tail, then shot at the ground to propel yourself upwards even farther?

what happened to all those dudes using the comfy sonic mania chatroom where we listen to sonic music and discuss sonic? get in here anons
>>
>>386316364
Imagine waiting for Sonic & Knuckles to release and being spoiled on Hidden Palace, Sky Sanctuary, or Doomsday Zone. Or, imagine being spoiled on how Sonic 2 ends.

It may not be the same for you, but Sonic games are built in a way that really gets you into the narrative despite not really having super innovative or deep plots. The mini-cutscenes, the way that zones are ordered and how they "feel" in relation to the plot are all pretty big. Plus, it's just exciting to experience new levels yourself.

>>386316840
Yeah, they made Spyro move slower and added all these NPCs that just spout paragraphs of exposition while Spyro fails to engage in any amusing banter like when he rescued the dragons in 1. Plus you have to return to levels you've already played with powers you get later too 100% them. It feels less like a fun adventure and more like a laundry list of chores.

Surprisingly, I liked A Hero's Tale a lot more, even though it's one of the post-Insomniac games that people generally dislike. It kind of returns to the Spyro 1 approach where you're supposed to find the main collectable yourself, although there's still the Spyro 3-esque minigames you have to do at points. Plus Spyro talks in the NPC conversations again, which is nice.

Sonic 2 has you press jump twice, but as for official releases, Sonic 4 of all things has a dedicated transformation button.

I also prefer the first one even though Ripto and Year of the Dragon have more to do. The simplicity and whimsy of exploring and finding secrets is my favorite part, more than just finding a door that warps Spyro to some room disconnected from the main map.

I have a feeling that reviewers are gonna be contracted to not show anything that hasn't been shown already. Gotta keep those 3 other new zones a secret.

>Jump is a regular spinning jump, but goes even lower than Knuckles'
>Can roll and spindash
>Hold the jump button until you hit the ground to bounce off with your tail, getting about as much height as Sonic's jump, feels sorta like the Bubble Shield's bounce
>Shooting on the ground fires a bullet forward but propels you backwards, meaning it slows you down considerably if you use it while running, but it can also be used to pivot quickly
>Shooting in the air fires a bullet down and gives you a short double jump, feels sorta like the Lightning Shield's double jump
This would be ideal in my opinion. Gives him multiple interesting movement options, sticks to just 2 buttons, and preserves the rolling mechanics so he can interact with all the physics and momentum based setpieces just like any other character and attack badniks/bosses that might be difficult or awkward to hit with his gun.

>>386308809
In some thread a while back anon said there was some Iizuka interview where he said that the Super Emeralds were canon in the Classic universe (which is as of Forces a different universe)
If that isn't bullshit then that implies Iizuka would be at least sympathetic to non-hedgehogs having Super forms when in the Modern universe they literally can't.
I'd suspect Knuckles will at least have his Super form, and probably Tails as well because it would be lame if he was the only character without one.
Hopefully they'll give Super Knuckles a visual upgrade too. I remember thinking Super Knuckles was hella lame the first time I unlocked him as a kid. Just flashing pink is boring compared to Sonic who turns gold and has a new set of sprites. Make him permanently pink and have his hair flare out a bit or something

In preparation for Sonic Mania, I wanted to finally give Sonic CD a try. Ended up playing through the 2011 version, and it was fun as fucking hell. Stardust Speedway is one of the coolest zones aesthetically in a sonic game, glad it's gonna be in Mania.

>>386326193
The Taxman remake of CD is the definitive way to play it. Making the special stages better by making the perspective on the UFOs much easier to see and changing the crap CD spindash to the much better 2/3 spindash really helped the game out.
Plus the JP soundtrack is Japanese new jack swing goodness. Though the US soundtrack has some gems as well.

This is looking like it's going to be one of the best Sonic games since the 90s so yes, it's going to be good. We know the Team & they're super dedicated Sonic fans with a good track record with their past work, the control/physics are on-point if not better than the originals & the level design is as good as one of the most beloved entries in the series from what we have seen. Look at this image if you're curious on the team a little bit. I'm not sure if you have or not already but play the classics (Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3&K) since this is basically the sequel to those games so you'll know if you'll like it.
