People who pre-ordered this for PC and would prefer to play this on PC, what are you doing? Do you have other options or are going to wait it out. I had it pre-ordered on PC, but I am thinking about cancelling it and getting it on the Switch instead. I would prefer to play it on PC but I also don't want to wait another 2 weeks.
What do?

I'm affected by the delay but I already had a contingency in place anyway, do I count?
>>
>>386948324
Yes, what was your contingency plan?
>>
>>386948206
I'll just play other games in my backlog I guess

Don't really mind that I have to wait though avoiding spoilers is gonna be tough

The overall attitude of PCfriends is exactly the same. Why is it okay for PC to be denied five separate games from the same publisher, but getting a game two weeks later is a huge deal?

Just read the blurb on switch, did I miss a memo somewhere? "Sonic Mania was developed by Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games in collaboration with Sonic Team."
CWC made this?

>>386948525
I swapped my PC CE preorder for a Switch preorder and then preordered a regular Windows copy at a discount so the Switch CE will be here on launch day.
>>
I don't really mind the delay all that much, but the way Sega's trying to "make up" for it seems like a dick move. Oh boy, you're giving me a free copy of an ancient game that not only everyone who gives a shit about Sonic probably already owns in multiple forms, but also a version you can't gift to someone else if you already own it because of the way bundles work on Steam? Sega, you spoil us!

We don't live in japan, most people will never have even heard of them.

>>386950595
Those games are still pretty decently popular in the west. But let me offer a counterpoint; Moero Chronicle. The western version was released exclusively for PC, and this is a game that literally no one has heard of.

and are you fucking shitting me dude

>>386948206
I have to wait. I can't do anything else.
I promised myself to buy the Switch version only if it gets a physical release.
Honestly, I'm sad they are going to give me Sonic 1 only, a game I already own in multiple copies on different platforms. They could have given us a demo of Mania, the whole original trilogy or, hell, Taxman's Sonic 1. But no. A game literally everyone already owns. Jesus.
>>
>>386950579
It's called "we are afraid of day one piracy". In those two weeks, people will feel forced to buy the game on consoles rather than pirating it on PC.
Of course, this is a fucking stupid attitude and they are terribly dumb. They think they can solve a problem when they are just pissing us off.

I'm not commenting on the quality but most people will have never heard of them, and that's why no one gets butthurt over it.

Quite a few normies have heard of sonic.

I can only guess it's because it was easier to port
>>
>>386950428
I just wonder why they made something so removed from the original game when it was Westerners buying the original game again that funded it.
>>
My only option is getting it on the PC as I have neither a PS4 or a Switch, and I won't be able to get one for the foreseeable future due to being a poorfag supreme. I can wait the 2 week as I already have more than enough games to pass the time.

>>386951251
Sega has always had a big problem with their western audiences and subsidiaries. They don't like the notion of them being popular abroad but not in their native Japan. You should read up on Sega's history and how fucking mad Sega Japan got over anything the western division did that actually worked. I wouldn't be surprise their FUCK YOU NO GAMES FOR PC attitude is founded in their hatred of the west.

>>

>>386953219
People would likely still own that one too, not to mention CD is shit.
Best case would have been PC ports of the mobile versions of Sonic 1 and 2.
>>386955435
Because it's development time and money spent on something that literally doesn't matter
>oh we have to worry about those pirates
>who will just wait like a month until it gets cracked and pirate it instead then
But it's mostly about the delay itself, not just the DRM.
>>
>>386955558
It's common knowledge that for major releases, most of a game's sales happen within the first month or so. Evidently it's worth it for devs as they continue to do it.
>>
>>386955435
3 reasons:
>Denuvo requires time to implement:
thats why the 2 weeks, and at the end its only to implement an imperfect and arbitrary solution to a nonexistent problem.

>Denuvo hits the performance in any game its used on:
possibly users with toasters wont be able to even play the game now.

>Denuvo locks the files and makes the game modding unfriendly:
One of the reasons PC mania was so anticipated is the posibility for hackers and sonic fans to mess with the game, just like they did with generations and lost world.

The Retro engine looks like the most powerful 16bit game making solution out there, something that things like GM or even Unreal would never do. but now that drm is possibly being implemented, that solution would dissapear.
>>
>>386955435
Not that anon, I don't give two fucks about Denuvo. But why didn't they put it in a month ago? Why waiting 4 days before release? Why should it take two weeks and not only one?
All these questions, no answer from SEGA. They just give you a 30 years old rom to make you shut up.
>>
>>386955873
>thats why the 2 weeks, and at the end its only to implement an imperfect and arbitrary solution to a nonexistent problem.
Firstly you don't even know if it's getting Denuvo. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

It's imperfect, but what other, better ways exist? Don't say "make a good game" because regardless of its quality, people are always going to want to pirate a single player game. Mania may be disappointing but I'd hardly call it "bad". Definitely the best Sonic game we've gotten this decade it's looking like.

>Denuvo hits the performance in any game its used on:
There is zero concrete evidence of this

Can't you still mod games with Denuvo? Look at NieR Automata for instance.

it's just some meme these knuckleheads are spouting. there's nothing that says this is true. all speculation.

DRM is a necessary evil, but Denuvo has a lot of downsides for me as a paying customer that other weaker forms of DRM do not.

>>386955692
I wouldn't mind it as much if they actually removed it when it was cracked or within a sensible timeframe.

It's clearly obvious that Sega despises PC. Why else do they give it nothing but ports of old games while consoles get new releases? Sega has often complained about "port begging", and even made a "tongue in cheek" "joke" in a survey they had where they said something like "this is where you beg for games to come to PC".

Sega is fucking trolling PC gamers like they trolled Nintendo gamers in the 90s.
>>
>>386956182
as everyone knows, according to sega the dealy is to review the game code ans implement some pc specific optimizations.

hours later Taxman puts a cryptic 'What if DNA has DRM?' post on his twitter, said post is now flooded with questions about the delay, becuase people believe its about implementing drm, specifically denuvo in mania.

some people say, that he was talking about an article that explains that some scientists managed to encode DNA with malware, fair enough...

...EXCEPT for the fact that Taxman, nor ANYBODY IN SEGA OR THE MANIA TEAM, has answered to clarify about the tweet whatsoever!

one of the main hits about the delay is that Taxman has been practically silent about this shit when all that he needs to do is clarify, hell, even if he admits that the game will have drm and explains why, we would accept it, because he is being HONEST with the fans, but since he isnt saying anything, we are all in the dark about this and getting fucked!

Gonna double dip ad get it on my roommate's PS4.

Was planning to anyway, since they're getting it 12 hours before the original intended Steam unlock time.

It's shitty that they delayed it, especially if it's for some DRM shit, and I understand why people are fucking furious, but it's still a miracle that this game even got greenlit by fucking Iizuka. Beggars can't be choosers.

Anyone saying they're now not going to buy the game at all are really failing to see the big picture, and must not want more good Sonic games in the future. If they're fine with that, cool. If they ever bitch about how shitty the franchise is ever again, though, they only have themselves to blame.

Stealth has gone on record saying that the game went gold a month ago, also, any modification can EASILY be patched thru, it doesnt need to be delayed.

but yet they did to fuck with an innocent userbase in their blind quest for shekels.


if theres at least a itty-bitty-little bit of justice in this world, aaron would make an annuncement saying that the game would go back to its original rlease date or that we would get a better gift than a fucking ROM.

It’s not that it’s bad or good, it’s DRM.

The thing that makes it disingenuous in this specific casehowever is that Taxman got started by making Sonic hacks to begin with. It doesn’t speak well for a team filled with hacks to have their game say: We made this and made other Sonic games with hacks, but this one is the best and you cant dick around with it or ever best us, fuck you: it gives that sort of vibe to some.

It literally is not Classic Sonic, it’s Pint-Sized Sonic. We learned/realized this hours ago with the Forces connection. THis is this Sonic’s first game.

So now there’s 3 Canon Sonics.

1. Sonic The Hedgehog: The one we call modern Sonic now whose past younger self we refer to as classic Sonic.

2. Sonic Boom Sonic.

3. This Sonic, aka Pint-Sized Sonic as featured in Mania and Forces.

>>
>>386959467
Because it doesn’t fuck up with canon, chronology or timeline, helps enable a future were Sonic moves forward without having to take a step back, and allows for tweak classic-inspired gameplay to always be availed along side him.

It’s literally win win win.

Win for canon, win for timeline, win for games, win for gameplay, win for story, win for number of games.

It’s literally the best thing they could have done to ensure the scope and quality fo the franchise.

And in his own video game and accompanying story we see that he has gone on the same adventures as the Sonic we know. Nothing you say there is contradictory to what I am saying. Only what you're assuming about it is.

This is just "rose by another name" shit. Dimensions are equivalent to timelines in function. Cyan Sonic and Main Universe Sonic have a shared back story as best we know. Being from different dimensions doesn't change this. They did the same things.

Here let me satisfy you fixation with that line

It's not mania sonic that's from a different dimension than classic/generations sonic. Forces sonic is in a different dimension from classic/generations.

Original Dimension timeline
Classic -> Mania -> Modern/Generations (Classic from the past)

Forces Dimension timeline
Forces (Mania from the other dimension)

Okay, that proves that the classic Sonic (or whatever) in Forces is from another dimension.

But I'm asking where it specifically states that that 'dimension' is Mania, and that Mania Sonic is the Sonic in Forces thats with long armed new Sonic.


I want confirmation, because if there isnt confirmation that Mania Sonic is in Forces, then theres no reason to infer that Mania Sonic is a "different alternate universe Sonic' and not just Sonic after 3 and Knuckles.

Honestly, I wouldn't that upset about the PC delay if they didn't announce it four days before the release. I suppose I could just buy it for the Switch if I really want it day one, but I'd rather get it on PC and I don't wanna buy two versions of Mania.

Infinite has the pink stone on his neck and makes the pink stone noise. Mania sonic travels through a dimensional portal in the ending. It's confirmed.

>then theres no reason to infer that Mania Sonic is a "different alternate universe Sonic' and not just Sonic after 3 and Knuckles.

We know that mania is a direct sequel to the classics and S3&K. The only logical conclusion is that forces takes place in a new dimension from the previous games, not mania.
>>
>>386962157

Forces Classic Sonic has the drop dash.

On top of that, there's the obviously-related-to-Infinite plot device that Mania introduces as well.

Or that both dimensions are nearly identical to the point of not mattering "which" one is the original and the only reason it's being done is to excuse Classic Sonic in another boost game.

The leaks. It's Mania's core plot.
>>
>>386962452
>Infinite has the pink stone on his neck and makes the pink stone noise

Okay I have to clarify I am mostly only interested in Mania, haven't really spoiled myself on whats in it (other than the acts) and I have a passing interest in Forces because the create-a-character and have no idea what storyline elements you're referring to and who "Infinite" is.

But okay, Mania ends with Sonic going into a portal to lead into their next game. That makes more sense that 'Forces' is in a new universe, especially considering you play as this new character. I apprecaite that thought process than the other anon in this thread who kept saying that Mania is not in the same canon as everything else and he's not the original Sonic.


I mean, honestly, I'm a Nintendo guy at heart but I love Classic Sonic and someone trying to act like Mania Sonic isnt /ourguy/ and trying to mix all these weird dimensions .. I don't know. I got confused myself writing this .. when did Sonic get so fucking weird with dimensions. I stopped playing after Adventure 2 other than playing Generations.
>>
>>386962628
I agree that they don't give a shit and I don't either. I don't think the sonic team cares about continuity or the difference between past/future and dimensions.

But even if you're making a lot of conclusions out of a little, forces being its own dimension makes way more sense than mania being its own dimension.

He's saying Mania could have been just ports of the taxman 1+2 with a couple new zones to sweeten the deal. But Iizuka pitched the mania concept

>>386963054
I'll take either Classic Sonic over the 2D sections that make up the vast majority of that game.
>>
>>386962437
Taxman and team approached Iizuka with Taxman ports of 1+2 for PC/consoles plus a few new zones (they demoed Studiopolis to Iizuka), at the time the project was called Sonic Discovery, but Iizuka thought it would be better to make it a true canon successor to the classics and greenlit a whole game remixing classic levels similar to Generations.

Buying the PS4 version and pirating the PC version when it comes out. I wanted the PC version initially but because of this delay, I am forced to buy the PS4 version. That's just shitty PR. Announcing the delay THIS close to release should have been padded with a free non-giftable Steam key for Mania when pre-ordering the console version. That would've been the right thing to do I think. Instead they just gave us Sonic 1, which 99% of people buying Sonic Mania already probably have on Steam. Even then, the game costs, what, $2? It's unfair to everyone who wants the best experience out of the game. I'm really disappointed in them for waiting until the last minute to announce this, and also hardly spilling what exactly they meant by "polishing" the PC version.

Hopefully not for some shitty DRM scheme.

Nostalgia and really good PR.

Mania has nearly all of my favorite zones and the remixes look like they're going to wind up being my favorite versions of those zones. I absolutely do not regret Mania coming to be.

The only zone that looks weak in Mania is Press Garden. The visuals don't fit and the stage design looked boring.

Meanwhile Metallic Madness and Titanic Monarch look like the best ending stages in series history, Oil Ocean was made better by adding gimmicks from Sandopolis of all fucking things, and Lava Reef was given some much needed speed and flow while maintaining its original Marble Zone inspiration.

11/10 fucking game. Easily my GOAT of all time 2D Sanic.

Perhaps, at least that might be one of the reasons. They probably had little qualms regarding the delay knowing they'll make up for it in extra sales. Which is precisely why I have no qualms pirating the PC version.
It's not so much that there WAS a delay that bothers me, it's the fact that it's so last-minute and they won't explain what exactly is causing the delay. Considering they've been so transparent up until this point, that really worries me.

>>386964023
umm how is lava reef better? Its missing the neat black out from the lava to the next act 2. And its missing that silent story of watching the death egg in the background launching off, transitioning into hidden palace zone..

I think thats something this game is missing.. its missing the charm or mystic those old games had...

Where as the charm they added instead is sorta the novelty of adding things like mean bean machine, little amys as bad guys etc. Which is like... "neat" for long time fans.. But not exactly something you will remember in a fond way the same way you do things like those little stage transitions etc, details in the background from the old series.

So, rehashed?

Remember when people were bitching about Sonic 4's stages to the point where SEGA made an effort to only have new stages in Episode II? Where's the backlash against Mania for pulling this shit?
Hell, unlike Sonic 4, Mania actually pulls a bunch of sections and music straight from their originals.

I think this proves that classicfags are mentally ill.

Did he have a spindash? I don't remember that. I did see he had a floating animation that looked exactly like Sonic's though which was suspicious.

Metal Sonic is definitely a lot more likely than Rosy at this point. She'll just have to wait for the next game.

Piracy will always happen. The problem is people consider piracy a problem. Every single independent study ever conducted regarding piracy has determined that piracy INCREASES sales. Piracy is nothing more than free advertising.

The best thing to do is not treat consumers like they're criminals by adding DRM. Pirates don't have to deal with DRM because they crack it, DRM only affects the consumers. Developers and publishers need to compete with piracy by providing a product that is just as convenient and incentivize purchases with extras like manuals, soundtracks, and other things.

The game is meant to run at 60Hz but it will run at whatever framerate your monitor is set to, if you have a monitor with a refresh rate over 60Hz the game will run sped up beyond its normal speed. There is no setting in the game to lock it to 60Hz, so you have to go into your GPU driver settings and change the display setting to 60Hz.

Nah mate you're just retarded is all. It's alright. I appreciate you fessing to it a little at least.

CD is a prequel to 4, and the form of Stardust Speedway seen in Act 1 of Mania is the past version. You do end up taking a future signpost into the present form of the stage from CD, but it doesn't change the fact that Stardust Speedway is in an older form AFTER the events of 3&K which puts it before the events of CD.

Nowhere does that say it happens after 3 and knuckles, it only says that it happens after angel island. It's obviously referring to pint-sized Sonic's earlier adventures of which no one has ever played, which may be similar to Sonia's in some ways.

I feel that pint-sized Sonic has never had CD's events happen. I think It's entirely possible that this game and CD take place at the same time, across two different dimensions with 2 different Sonics. Makes sense since CD seems to happen before episode metal, which happens before 4 episode one.

Has anyone considered that Sonic is just being sent into the future? Eggman might have been wrong about this Sonic being from another dimension, or it could be a translation error. It makes sense with Forces plot, too.

Boost gameplay isn't sustainable, SEGA already explained it which is why they keep shoving Classic Sonic and other gimmicks in boost games.

If a gameplay style isn't sustainable and it needs to add roadblocks so the game isn't finished in 40 minutes, then it sucks.

Mega Drive was designed specifically to act as an adaptation of a made up Sonic game Unfortunately, it ends on a cliffhanger since part 3 got canceled with the comics. It's technically still canon to the archie comics, but can be read standalone and only has Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles.
Sonic & Mega Man: Worlds Collide (not Worlds Unite) focus on the modern games, but doesn't have comic exclusive characters for either series aside from Snively making a cameo. Aside from a few plot points, it can also be taken standalone.

Not him but it was sustainable in Rush, Rush Adventure, etc.
>>
>>386971867
Flynn's a writer, so I can't see how he would be heavily involved with Mania.
If you're talking about Mega Drive specifically, I'd agree, though the writing has its moments.
>>
>>386971867

Why would they need a writer for a game that doesn't have dialogue?
>>
>>386970606
Forces retcons the time-travel idea and it's stated Generations wasn't canon, the new Classic Sonic is the one from Mania's dimension/continuity.
Mania also confirmed that games taking place before SA1 are within it's continuity/universe because characters from Sonic the Fighters, Sonic R, etc. are in the game .
>>
>>386949453

Mania was supposed to be for my PC

>>386972114
Are you actually retarded, or just pretending?
>>
>>386972360
>>386972114
While it doesn't need a writer for any dialogue, you still need to have someone who designs the overarching plot and events. Flynn's involvement in Mega Drive didn't necessarily mean he came up with all of the plotlines on his own, though.

I used to always wonder how the hell you get from Emerald Hill Zone to Chemical Plant Zone, but Mania made some sense out of it.
>>
>>386971604
I'm actually sad that Colors sold so poorly since I think it took the boost formula in the right direction with seamless, organic "slow downs".

But then comes Generations and murders it with the most ridiculous boost in the series and whole stages being locked into classic sonic.
>>
>>386972765
There's nothing organic about "slow downs" in Sonic. And Colors has easily the worst level design of all 3D games.

>>386972602

Emerald Hill, Chemical Plant, and the rest of the Sonic 2 zones all take place on Westside Island, so you can infer that he just ran there.

Mania just asspulls with time-space fuckery as an explanation between most of its zones (i.e. Sonic falling into Hydrocity from Stardust Speedway).

Those games are 2D though. Your draw a couple of tiles and you can make giant ass levels no problem. In 3D the enviroment isn't as copy-pasteable.

Also in terms of gameplay 3D is more limiting when it come to Sonic. You can't have natural gameplay when the level curves upwards like it does in 2D because it fucks up the camera. Which is why 3D is so scripted and can't offer as much level layout variety. Making it more repetitive and thus less sustainable
