Delay

>tfw the master race has to wait for the GOTY

Delicious salt. Glad I double-dipped.

>>386897090
how would it? and I think the publisher logic is:
>let's delay the game on the definitive platform so that desperatefags will buy the game twice

we've seen that with Dark Souls 2, and this game definetly doesn't need optimization, it's a 2D sprite game with low resolution, for fuck's sake

then again, we've seen TETRIS run like absolute shit on the PS4, so nothing would surprise me

>literally two weeks apart

While it's really a small time frame, I don't see any reason for this to happen other than for Sega to keep up their "oh looks like consoles ARE more profitable after all, sorry PC!" mentality to excuse them from putting a game that was made in the current decade.

The review copies on pc are out there, I bet some one leaks, scream cap this

The fact that they waited until less than a week before launch to announce the delay is a slap in the face to pc fans

>>386897876
this

>>386897876
Ah ha ha ha ha ha.

>>386897876
>>386898014

And this is after Sega saying that PC is their most profitable platform. With them constantly shooting down the notion of games like Yakuza coming to PC, while delaying literal fucking pixel games for no real reason, and ONLY giving PC ports of decades old games, Sega is really on par with WB. Actually, WB can be excused, Sega has literally nothing to stand on.

>>386898187
>Sega is really on par with WB.
WB is mildly good intentioned retarded, otherwise they wouldn't have fixed AK and MKX PC ports

>>386897876
let's face it, anything is a slap in the face to you people

god, it must hell taking money from people who are so annoying, really wouldn't wanna be Sega or Whitehead right now

>>386897090
>>let's delay the game on the definitive platform

It's getting delayed on the Switch?

What do other platformes have over the Switch?

A good number of WB's recently made games don't have PC versions which can be chalked up to "PC isn't profitable". They aren't wrong, and they are at least honest, even if they were entirely at fault for that. Meanwhile Sega rehashes games like Total War or Soccer Manager and ports ancient games no one asked for, but when people ask for something new like Yakuza Zero, Sega just goes "lol fuck you".

And the best part? PC gamers actually DEFEND this sort of attitude. Sega is the only publisher in the world that gets away with shitting on their PC audience, which is saying a lot since PC fags are the most vocal and most hostile group of customers any publisher has to deal with.

>>386898724
>A good number of WB's recently made games don't have PC versions which can be chalked up to "PC isn't profitable".
eh? Injustice 2 is the only WB game out of PC, isn't it?

>>386897090
I still don't understand how there could be problems with the PC version. I mean, the Retro engine was designed for PC in the first place.

>>386898823
There was also that Bamham VR game (which could be excused for being a PSVR exclusive demo) and that one Cars game, when the previous Cars game had a PC version.

Before the shitstorm starts again.

Who plays vidya on PC? This isnt the 90s.

>>386899014
Of course its because of priracy, they game is designed to run on a toaster how much optimization does it need?

I bet some PC loser comes in here and infodumps on the game as "revenge" against console plebs.

All it's doing is prolonging the time it takes for pirates to get the game which is a good thing for something like this where it's just a small team and Sega has no idea how it'll sell. They're trying to make as much profits as possible with the console versions. PC (no matter how much Sega pretends to act like they care) isn't top priority.

the worst thing is that the delay happened 4 days before it releases. basically when pre-orders were at their maximum.
some people even ordered the collector's edition for pc.

also the game only has 4 new zones. and 8 remixed ones. spooky

What the hell is the point of this delay if it's still being released on consoles on the 15th? And don't say for piracy reasons. If that was the case, why the fuck would they announce it a mere four fucking days before it was supposed to be released?

I'm legitimately angry as fuck.

>>386901568
Like fucking anything.
I'm not willing to be a Sega dicsucker for good Sonic games.

My relation to Sega is the same as any company. I'm a customer first and foremost and that is that.
If they don't release a good Sonic game after this I don't really fucking care because at the end of the day that's their problem not mine.

>>386902837
devs don't do all this custom drm shit on consoles, some degree of piracy protection is guaranteed, especially if the console isn't hacked and/or uses an exotic storage for games
meanwhile protection of the games against piracy on pc is pretty much only on the developers
so if for one reason or another some dumbass at sega thought the game would be more pirated than they initially thought, they could've went and shoved in more drms

of course the whole optimization thing that is the official reason for the delay provided by sega could be real, they could've found problems with the game working on different machines when review codes were sent and the delay was just really poorly timed
considering the circumstances though i don't think it's all that likely

So either mania has DRM and he can't talk about it and that's the best he warn us. Or he's just kind of an asshole.

>Why can't someone just say something?

It's real

This can't be their little life lesson about jumping to conclusions. They just delivered really bad news. People are cancelling preorders. Hating Sega, etc. Not just people who initially read too much into taxman's tweet, but everyone who sticks to the traction of this rumor. If enough people believe something, no matter how dumb it is in the first place, you have to correct the record. And it's long past out of hand.

I'm going to give the Mania team the benefit of a doubt and assume the delay isn't because of DRM for now. If they keep up this silence, though, I'm gonna be really fucking suspicious.

PC owner here. I am pretty mad about the delay and the way Sega handled it, but I was able to get my refund and will pick it up on the Switch instead. I was already on the fence about what version to pick up, but this solved it.

>>386897090
Yes. I know I am now. I didn't have to be shamed into buying the game, I understood what it meant to buy this: possibly purely new 2d sonic games made by taxman and co. But this need for "optimization" has 100% ruined my plans for the rest of august.

Why bother spending money when I'm going to kill my hype to play it myself by watching lets plays (I do not have the willpower to avoid spoilers for 18 more days). If denuvo is in it I'll figure out how to deal with that.

Believe me or not, I had a amazon pre purchase for sonic mania for weeks, now I don't. If I see proof the pc version truly had a game breaking bug I will not pirate it but if they continue to stay silent I will assume this is to spite steam users with DRM for nintendo's mistakes.

Guys! I found a nice little thing while looking at the internal files of the PS4 release of Sonic Mania:

There's a folder called Levels, in which there are many folders with truncated 3-letter codes for each zone.

Problem is, one folder stands above the rest. There's a folder called R2.

Easter egg, or just Taxman shenanigans?

>>386905305
again, its not a leak, the game was bought legit before time.

the difference here is that nintendo system, doesnt have a timed lock, that why the game worked on switch.

>>386905231
Switch doesn't lock you out of digital games before they're meant to be released. If you have a code for the game, you're golden.
This is how the game was leaked. Some distributor gave twelve game overs man his CE early.

>>386905389
I'm reminded of Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing (the first one) on PC, where they didn't include online or bother bringing over DLC, citing potential piracy as the reason for not bothering to include these things.

>>386905472
From cryptic tweets from Taxman and the delay being for "optimization" people are thinking that they're putting Denovo in the PC release to stop pirating.
It could be that or just that the PC version wasn't running at 60fps constantly or something but the Denovo rumor are what people are believing right now.

>>386905583
Yeah it means I can play R2 on august 29th

its not just the delay that people are mad about.
rumor is the game is getting devuno which kills any sort of mods.
personally i wanted the pc version over the consoles just for modding.

>>386905109
I'll probably end up spoiling myself on the names of every zone in the game, but I won't watch a playthrough. Not gonna sour myself on the game that much.

No. Pirates depend upon people who have to buy the game, who will release a cracked version of the game online which will eventually be taken down from Torrent websites. SEGA will give a shit for the release sales aspect (since they're a company).

>>386901751

Yeah, the game wasn't leaked. BUT someone may leak it. Then everyone will just pirate it and the sales will be shit.
Sonic is doomed again.

>>386906074
then it's totally just taxman being cute

man, with all the love CD got in Mania (music and stages were much more remixed than the other classics), I really, really, really wonder who higher up decided to not use the Sonic CD camera

A retarded Nintendo fanboy hacked a display version of Sonic Mania at a Switch Conference and uploaded footage of the cracked game online and started shilling his stream channel on the Mania threads. SEGA got wind of the situation and delayed the PC version as a result of this douchebag's actions.

>>386906273
the switch cannot be pirated. and just for some idiot to have a copy 4 days before release wont make people to pirate.

>>386906489

Anon, I'm not talking about the Switch version. Someone may leak the PC version.

>>386906489
there was no hacks, that mark dude legally bought his copy before release time.

the Switch cannot be hacked yet.

and therefore cannot be leaked.

Thank you Sega for saving me 20 bucks

Simply delaying the release is not going to stem piracy, in fact it will exacerbate it.

>>386904668
>"""protest""" over that decission.
I didn't refund the game to "protest". I refunded it because it's not arriving at the advertised release date.

I'm not letting myself get cucked by Sega. Screw them.

look up any video on Sonic CD
like, literally any
the camera in that game shifts to show more of what's ahead when Sonic is going fast after he's been moving at speed for a bit

it's pretty nice
some fangames have it implemented awfully (someone posted some Sonic Arcus video in one of these threads and it was appalling, it like floated back when Sonic slowed back down instead of a fairly quick slide back, making it nauseating)

>>386904820
Exactly the same here Dude, this shit sucks. I've been coming to these threads for over a month now and I've never been more hyped for a game, and it's been killed quite a bit. At least it gives me a chance to replay and 100% all the old games before I play it, since I've been too busy to play games recently. Also watching some of the leaks honestly revived it a bit. I'll probably get to play it next week on my mates ps4 anyway.

In fact the fact that it's locked to 60fps and doesn't offer options for 120fps/180fps/240fps/any multiple of 60fps is a fucking disgrace.

Should I buy the Switch version on the 15th so that I'm not behind, or should I wait for the PC release since I already pre ordered it?

Companies are in their legal right to deny review copies to untrustworthy reviewers, Not to mention they keep a short list of people who do get copies so they know exactly who question about it.

I don't suppose anyone has a copy of the streamed video before they edited out the "Aaron overslept" bit to the 32min that's up now? I couldn't get back home quickly enough to grab it.

>>386910472
yees! because it happened exactly one day after the leak!

its impossible for pc hackers to unlock the steam time locks, theres NO WAY a pc pirate could have pirated the game before release, this is not the PC users fault, but because some idiot trolls on the streams which now im sure you are one of said 'i will pirate the game' sega decided to fuck ALL PC users over.

I really don't like that Super Sonic sprite.

Ooh, neat name.

>>386910648
ok hold on

>>386908873
There's a better version of the game out for free on android
But oh no lemme suck sega's dick because they were so kind to give me a rom for free even though there's not a single person buying Mania who doesn't already have it

Cyber Church
Mechanical Mansion
Simulated Synagogue

SAKURA SYNAGOGUE

That is honestly a bad-looking Super Sonic.

If they suddenly released the Taxman remake of 1 and 2 on Steam as a sorry for the delay gift I would've been actually pretty fine with it, but a fucking rom of Sonic 1 of all things is just incredibly weak.

>>386905079

same situation, but fuck it I'm just gonna double dip

I want more taxman games

>>386904189
>forced to refund
yea okay

>>386911024
I would have been fine with that, happy even because then I could spend the two weeks playing them on my nice big TV
But that would require more than 2 seconds of work so obviously we can't have that

You need to be over 18 to use 4chan

It will, PC sales will probably be pretty bad because of that. Sega makes the fucking dumbest decisions ever since the mid 90s, I swear.

But I hope the possible commercial failure on PC doesn't mean that they will stop making new Classic Sonic games.

>>386911189
The leaker died over 30 times in Oil Ocean last night. And game journalists are probably just as shit.

They're going to claim the game goes to the shit during the last quarter and dock the game points just because they're bad.

wtf why can't I hold right to win? shit game

That looks kinda bad, like if they tried to keep Sonic's pudgy look but pasted Sonic 2's super sonic head on top of it.

>>386897090
Just cancelled my preorder so I can pirate it.

Asswipes.

Nice meme, retard. There's nothing wrong with the PC version.
