How would you feel if they tried to make original characters for Sonic Mania 2?

>>386548240

As long it's not that abomination, okay I guess?

LIGHTS
CAMERA
ACTION

There better be a casino section. I don't care if Casino Night gets a double dippin remix stage or what but I need a slot machine somewhere. Favorite parts of 2 and 3 (its bonus stage)

What do you think the Gold Medallions will unlock?

>>386549993

expectation: concept art, sound test, maybe a debug mode, stuff like that

hope: a secret stage and a new character

>>386548240
I'd rather they bring back old characters like the Chaotix and Fang first.

After that I don't really care as long as they're fun to play and not Devientart bait.

I have to say, after learning that Sonic Mania was going to be local coop months ago I was okay with it, but after recently finding out that the Taxman Sonic 2 mobile port has separate screen dedicated online multiplayer support with elemental shields, I'm a bit pissed off now 'cause it can clearly be done, and on a mobile port no less - what was to stop them doing this with Mania, is this SEGA being """safe""" again?

>>386550240
not sure how I feel about that announcer
would feel less out of place in the Sonic Advance series

>>386550240
That splitscreen looks really bad. The stretched sprites look awful.

The only thing I've seen from the game so far that I'm not impressed with. I never used 2p mode in Sonic 2 or 3 anyway so I'm not too arsed.

Kinda dissapointed desu... I mean, there is a reason why the S3&K competition mode was remade to look better, the split-screen looks squashed. BUT! If you can actually play with other people without having to use the split screen then it's not a problem

Oh look, a feature I'll never use.

>>386550720
Never said I liked it in Sonic 2. Idk it just looks shit but I'll let it slide because I never played 2P mode anyway.

>>386550647
Sonic mania is not (primarily) for mobiles so individual screen versus is not possible.

However, i can see the switch version having something like that.

>>386550786
>>386550647
>>386550438

I got really excited when I read competition mode. I guess the Sonic 2 influence was too big, Fucking Sonic2fags this is your fucking fault, S3&K was always better you fucking niggers, you fucked it up

Really excited for this game. Cannot wait. Love Sonic. Not getting the CE though. I already have a working Sega Genesis & Sonic figures, and that box is, well, just a box that'll remain empty.


Anyways, does anyone know if there will be a Physical Copy release for this game for the PS4?

>>386550786
They could have easily just zoomed the camera out to fit more of the screen on. This isn't a Genesis game, sprite scaling is a thing they can do.

On closer inspection is not THAT bad, It's much better than Sonic 2, but I guess I was too hyped for my own good. And it seems like you can play competition on every single level, sounds like a fun time

>>386551359
Yeah, I could play it. Too be honest I couldn't give a fuck what the 2p mode was like so it's better than nothing I guess.

>>386550240
these taxman remakes have a low internal resolution though, right?
I hope this is just for Sonic 2 purists with their competitive modes, and there's a way, at least on PC, to have two non-stretched screens on top of each other

>>386551456
Theres people who believe that the announcer might be Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (a.k.a. the Daytona guy)

Could it be that Mr Iizuka told them "チームマニアは遠すぎないでください" and that's why the competition mode is like this

>>386551681

Nothing new. Really underwhelming.

FUCKING SONIC 2 FAGS, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? FUCKING SUBHUMANS

>>386550240
I guess it's not a big deal since this doesn't take away from all the good stuff in the game but this wasn't worth wasting a video over. No one is gonna buy this for competition mode.

>>386552019
Who knows, maybe we will still have a music reveal...

I blame Sonic 2fags for the Iraq War

This is all because of the fucking Sonic 2 fags, Sonic's sprite was already the give away, they memed too hard saying that Sonic 2 was the best because of muh nostalgia when S3&K was objectively the best of them, fucking fuckers this is your fault, step up right now you damn retards, take fucking responsability for this.

Your shit taste actually had consequences

So is the PS4 the only version coming out at midnight?

Not just fps but one player has to use the 480p gamepad screen and the number of enemies that can show up at a single time becomes gutted which actively makes some missions harder/progress slower. Co-op Hyrule Warriors is terrible.

fucking retard, the real Sonic 4 is the game called Sonic 4, no matter how dissimilar it is to the classics. It's like saying tomatoes are not a fruit because you hate fruit but love tomatoes, even though factually tomatoes are indeed a fruit. You can't deny facts.

If the game sells well, you can bet that online coop/comp will be a priority for the second. They can even make sure it works on their own build of Mania before even getting the go ahead for a Mania 2.

>>386558157
Sonic 4 was originally called Sonic the Portable and had its name changed as a marketing ploy.

>>386558025
Maybe it'll be an update anon?

I'm actually buying all 3.

Xbone, because for some retarded reason the CE isn't available on PC, Switch or PS4 in the UK.

Switch for portability (and it releases before I get back from work).

And PC will be my main platform once it actually releases on Steam.

>>386558157
>food analogy
Tomato certainly are fruits, but they are more like vegetables in the way we prepare and eat them.

So in essence, Sonic 4 is a bit of a confusing mess, and when I'm looking for fruit, I certainly am not going to grab a tomato, even if it's classified as one.

>It's like saying tomatoes are not a fruit because you hate fruit but love tomatoes, even though factually tomatoes are indeed a fruit.

Tomatoes are fruit because of similarities and only because of similarities. Sonic the portable isn't sonic 4 exactly because its so dissimilar to the classics.

so... is this a good game for a newcomer to jump into the series?

>>386558157
Saying that Sonic Mania isn't Sonic 4 is like saying that Yoshi's Island isn't a Mario game.

>>386558157
Sorry, m8. A mobile game named Sonic the Portable, which was confirmed not to be canon anymore isn't Sonic 4.

Yes. Buy it play it and be happy.

>>386558637
DAYEEEEEETONAAAAAAAA

>>386558706
If you want to forever be spoiled on the old ones yeah. I would recommend that you play CD and 3&K at least before Mania hits, if only to appreciate what Mania is offering more.

>>386558706
Yes. there really isn't anything you miss out on by skipping the others, there isn't really plot or anything. You just miss a few good games.

>>386557818
They're giving review codes to literally whos so it might happen.

>>386558706
Honestly may be even better going into Mania because of the remixed stages. Then again, you'd also miss a lot of the references. I'd say play at least Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sonic 3 Complete specifically, if possible.

For normal chaos emeralds, focus on making a wide net around blue spheres to make the red spheres rings. Even if you don't go for a perfect it gives you breathing room. I never got good at the super emerald versions, just gotta hope for the best there.

>>386558706
The only classic games that tie into eachother plot-wise are Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 (and Knuckles) because they comprise the entire Death Egg saga. After that, it really doesn't matter.

>>386558962
>Sonic 3 Complete specifically, if possible.
Just have him play the original games, and not the rom hacks. 3 Complete is interesting, but the original experience is still the original experience.

>>386559124
Not that guy but 3&K was unplayable to me until I downloaded 3 Complete and switched the sprites back to Sonic 2. The native Sonic 3 sprites always made it feel like a bootleg or romhack in itself, it never felt right. Yes I'm autistic.

Will Mania have the Death Egg?

>>386559602

There is literally nothing wrong with the sprite. They're all fine.

>>386559413
>>386559413
depends on what you mean by better. It has optiosn to swap music around, but I feel that's all preferential.

Is it really necessary to swap the levels as "originally intended"? Just because they showed up prior to release that way, doesn't mean that the final product doesn't have things as intended.

Also changing the speed physics and having an option against the speed cap breaks the game in several instances.

The original experience is better in my eyes, even with a few of the bug fixes.

I know Knuckles won in that video but how often do you think that'll actually happen with the average player up against Sonic who's more oriented for pure speed? Would you actually stand a chance with Knuckles or Tails against Sonic? This wasn't an issue with Sonic 2 because both Sonic and Tails played basically exactly the same. Are the ? monitors going to help with balancing enough to make it a non-issue?

I mean, I'm not really that into this mode, but it did make me think a little bit.

Yeah, level design might be the big balancer here. I just haven't seen enough of the actual stages to see how much it affects 2P mode yet I guess.

>>386560602
I think it will more come down to what level you are playing. Green hill is obviously in Sonic's favor, with not a lot of higher areas leading directly to the goal that only Tails or Knux can get to. But places like Chemical Plant, where the other two can skip large portions very easily, while Sonic needs a lot of momentum for that kind of jump? They will win more often then not.

>>386560621
Yeah man. The Taxman and Stealth versions of Sonic 1 and 2 let you fly with Tails even when you're playing as Sonic by holding up and then jumping.

>You can decide whether or not to have the boxes

that's pretty cool

Here are my guesses for what the S3&K based cutscenes are going to be:

Green Hill Zone: You jump in the hole. It turns out to be some cave or water level.

Unannounced zone 1: You get out of whatever you came from and run a road and eventually arrive at Chemical Plant Zone.

Chemical Plant Zone: You beat the boss and use that thing to turn the water into green jello. You jump on it and arrive at Flying Battery Zone.

Flying Battery Zone: You use the a door to jump your way down similar to Sonic 3 Complete's transition to Ice Cap Zone. Anyway, it goes to Mirage Saloon Zone.

Mirage Saloon Zone: You jump in the little hand pistol and get shot to Stardust Speedway or another unannounced zone.

Stardust Speedway: You use those things that speed you up and run through a couple of loop de loops and shit to Studiopolis Zone.

Unannounced zone 2: Can't come up with anything. Anyway it leads to Studiopolis Zone.

Studiopolis Zone: You warp using that little bus to the next zone.

I wonder how far i am off.

>>386560894

>>386561063
You start Studiopolis on a sewer grate, so the theory is that Hydrocity precedes it.

>>386560936
That's true of course, but it also depends on which levels are going to be available for 2P mode. I would like to assume all of them, but who knows at this point? To my knowledge it hasn't been confirmed or denied yet. Feel free to correct me though.

>>386561039
You could do that in Sonic 3's competition mode too. Sonic 2 also had it I believe.

I think if that Sonic player didn't go full retard at the end he probably would have won.

You know what would have been nice though? A little status thing in the middle of the screens that indicate where each player is in the level. Or at the very least an indicator that tells you what place each player is currently in.

>Sonic doesn't work well in 3D even though there are tons of other well-receieved 3D, high-speed platformers with similar mechanics such as Pacman World and Super Monkey Ball
Worst meme yet.

>>386563675

Jesus Christ you pathetic poorfag. I'll gift the game to you.

Playing some comfy Sonic 4 to prepare myself for the next mainline 2D Sonic game.

>Sonic 4 and comfy in the same sentence

>>386564152

You could always just play Sonic on the Genesis using a broken controller. At least the graphics and music would be nicer.

Just play them all you loser. Don't you like playing more good games rather than less?

I'm not even sure my PC can handle Sonic Mania. What are the requirements?

>>386564574
It can.

>>386556551
Switch makes it portable
And classic graphics probably don't suffer to much from the handheld mode

You know what the biggest problem with Sonic 4 is?

They never made a physical copy so I can smash it with a hammer.

I know this just a mock up but if some jurno says the graphics are straight from the sega genesis I'm gonna flip. This game clearly is aping 5th generation hardware.

Who am I kidding? I'll be too busy playing the game to give a shit.

ShadAmy confirmed for Mania 2 when?

>>386564220
Sonic 4 is comfy, you just hold right and blast through the relatively easy game. It's relaxing and enjoyable.

>Arrival not even estimated
Do I really have to buy same game twice to play it on day 1? I'm sure it would take at least 2 weeks for it to be here. Should I believe in my autism?

>>386563675
Anon give ur steam ID I gots you by the time the game comes out

>>386564163
Needs a higher score with harsher critisms

>>386564892

You described Sonic 3&K, tbph

>>386564892

I just never got "comfy", let alone enjoyable from Sonic 4. To each his own though.

This. I've seen zoo animals with more gaming ability than IGN's editors.

>get it first on PS4
Why are they possessed with the thought that this is a much bigger positive then it actually is
