Sonic is still a terrible franchise. Mania looks promising but it's not gonna save the blue blur.

i'm still excited for sonic mania

what time does it unlock on steam tuesday?

>>387004065
I realize I'm not that hyped for this.
I feel like there have been many classic Sonic experiences throughout the years and I don't need an official game that looks like the originals to get my fix.

>>387004181
one mania type game every few years would save the franchise for me, desu

>>387004345
Can't regular Sonic have classic Sonic like games too? Just willing to stray from the formula farther as needed (i.e. Sonic Advance, Sonic Runners, or even other 2D experiments that draw their basis from the classic formula.)

It needs to be fixed for its shitty CD placement

>>387004548
I played it for the first time recently, Hyper Sonic is a fucking waste and I think from now on I'm gonna keep Super Sonic desu

>>387004659
Yeah, I was like this too until about a year ago.

You mean we don't battle it after getting the emeralds?

>>387004294
Hi Adventurestreamer, glad to see another anon's taking up streaming some Sonic before Mania comes out to us! I'd watch but I'm too busy with Blue Sphere.

>>387004065
Tails is infinite in the timeline Sonic didn't save him.

>>387004685
How is the CD placement shitty?

>>387004659
Off the top of my head, I can remember three giant rings in Hydrocity, And I tend to get Super Sonic on the first ring in Marble Garden.

>>387004548
ye its cool and getting hyper in mushroom hill

>>387004738
Faggot
Hyper Sonic shits on Super Sonic with his Omni-directional double jump.

>>387004776
Gotta have that Mania tie-in

I really want a spiritual successor to Sonic Advance.

>>387004963
now how the fuck is that possible, you'd need to get all seven in two acts

>>387005017
*Mania/Forces

>>387005086
it's called Sonic Rush

>>387004345
CD is not fucking after 3. Stop. I know you were going for autism but this is just plain old retardation.

>>387004790
Did eishi finish coloring the images?

>>387005150
With Tails and Knuckles

>>387005105
there's 8 big rings that i know off in mushroom hill maybe more

>>387005105
Not him but there are actually a total of seven big rings in Mushroom Hill Zone.

>>387005227
Only the first part. He plans on finishing up after he's done comms. Plus I hear he's also going to be doing a final part once Mania's out and I'm done streaming.

>>387004852
Its set after 1

>1: Sonic
>2: Sonic & Tails
>3K: Sonic, Tails & Knuckles
>Advance: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, & Amy
If Mania doesn't have an unlockable character, then Advance 1 still has the better claim as the true Sonic 4.

>>387005109
So you're saying he'll just bounce back over and pass through him with his temporary invincibility? That kinda sounds about right.

So what will happen to Dimps Sonic games if Mania takes off and this dev team starts getting work for newer low budget games for handheld and relatively small console and PC releases?

>>387005010
Seizure Sonic is for ADHD spazzes who don't appreciate the simple beauty that is Super Sonic.

>>387005220
Can you explain why CD is not after 3 or why it cannot be after 3?

You do acknowledge that Advance 2 happens before adventure, right?

>>387005560

DIMPS can fuck off. They have been phoning it in since 2011.

>>387005560

they do whatever they're doing now

>>387004345
Sonic CD is after 1 you autistic fuck.

>>387005721
ITS A FUCKING SEQUEL TO 1

>>387004476
top kek modernfags btfo

>>387005517
>>387005560
And I would love it if we could get an Advance spiritual sequel that still plays close to the classics.

>>387005721
Because Mania is stated to be directly after 3 and CDs stages in Mania are all updated/upgraded. Basic logic man.

>>387005721
>>387004852

Sonic CD comes after Sonic 1. Sonic in CD looks like Sonic 1 and his Spindash is a prototype of the spindash he uses later.

>>387005821
Sonic has a lot of sequels, your point being?

>>387005916
it was made after sonic 1 and made before Sonic 3 so logically where the fuck could it go anon

>>387005721
Tails isn't there and there's a hidden bonus image with Tails saying "See you next game"
The spindash is a work in progress
Sonic doesn't know the insta-shield, he can't turn into Super/Hyper Sonic yet

CD is between 1 and 2. It's before Sonic ever met Tails.

>>387005884
Manual says it takes place after the angel island events, not specifically 3tho.

>>387005995
Oh for fuck's sake come on.

>>387005981
>hurr Durr release order is chronological order

Kill yourself

>>387005995
>angel island events
You mean Floating Island right?

>>387005517
Advance 1 has Amy but the game is regressive in many ways if you want to compare it with Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

>way less zones
>no character specific level layouts or meaningful paths
>no super characters in regular gameplay
>only one special stage opportunity per whole entire zone barring one exception
>generic red speed boosters everywhere with no level theme
>no zone and act transitions barring egg rocket (kinda)
>no act 1 bosses

>>387006078
retard read the manual!

>>387006103
I think for a handheld title it is baller though.

>>387006028
If you go and think about Mania being in an alternate world, it makes sense.

>>387006086
Angel island IS the name of the Floating island

>>387006103
Also the only elemental shield is Lightning and it doesn't even let you double jump anymore.

>>387006139
I read the manual. That’s why I put it in the info graph because it supports my proposition.

>>387006078
>chronological order
>implying
Sonic 2 came out in 1992 while CD came out in 1993 yet Sonic 2 still takes place after CD so that defeats that argument

>>387006215
Oh right, that's a big one as well.

>>387006250
hes just a retard whos theory is flawed

>>387006214
Nope. That's a shitty retcon from Adventure.
That was supposed to originally be only the name of the opening zone.

The original name for the Island is Floating Island or in Japanese 浮遊島(Fuyūtō)

>>387006214
In the Modern games, sure but in 3K it was just the name of the first zone. The whole island was called the Floating Island.

>Angel Island (エンジェルアイランド Enjeru Airando?), previously known as the Floating Island (浮遊島 Fuyūtō?)

>>387006390
Mania manual calls it angel island. Can’t be a retcon if 3D games don’t happen afterwards, which supports both my and gemerationsbro's timelines.

>>387004415
On everything else but PC

>>387006451
then isnt it a retcon

Yes it is. Adventure 1 retconned it.

>>387007112
Wasn't Adventure 1 considered something like the definitive sequel to S3&K at the time?

>>387006619
Boats float too.
Technically the name "Floating Island" is probably a double entendre in that it can refer to an Island which is floating on an ocean(which Floating Island in 3K does at the beginning since the Master Emerald was stolen) or it can refer to an Island floating in the air/sky.

>>387007254
All the more reason it's a retcon.

It's like I'm unlocking everything Sonic 3 Complete gives me.

>>387010517
>>387010085
The timesplit happens after 3&K, Mania's continuity includes everything pre-SA1 including Sonic the Fighters, but in Mania's continuity, the events of SA1 onward never happen, instead it's the Best Timeline where Sonic never went 3D and the next canon installment is Mania.
The Modern continuity is every game from SA1 onwards, except Generations which was confirmed to not be canon.

>>387009907
Gamma really is the best story in Adventure. The only ending with any feels.

Playing Sonic 2 to get up to speed again. Gotta shake off the rust.

>>387011187
Well it is a timeline before SA1, where SEGA made a 2D Sonic for the Saturn.

It is a really difficult idea to imagine how SEGA never innovates on the series in this timeline.

Out of all the minute and mostly pointless changes in S3&K complete there's no option to keep super sonic while still being able to collect super emeralds?

Laaaaaaaaame

>>387011047
well, the fact he is actually getting better at bluespheres to collect the medallions says that he might complete it around next week.

>>387010441
Oh fuck, I wonder i it's possible to have drop dash, insta-shield, and super peel out all active at once. There isn't any control overlap so that would be the sickest shit.

>>387011348

Thanks mang. I like S3&K more as well. Just preparing for oil ocean and other stages like that. I'll probably play S3&K next if I decide not to do CD.

>>387011120
100% save files are going to spread around like fire.

Yet it's somehow better considering it's not taking all the missteps that the 3D continuity did.

Well we haven't seen what SEGA makes after Mania.

I imagine the series goes the way of Classic Mega Man.

Put your trip back on.
When Amy remembers CD she clearly doesn't remember herself or sonic in their classic designs

The CD storyline in the Modern universe is a separate thing.

>>387011417
That would be OP as fuck though. The emeralds in-game leave you to stay on the pedestals in Hidden Palace until you get all the Super Emeralds. You can get all the Super Emeralds in Mushroom Valley if you know where the rings are.

Shouldn't have opened those spoilers, now I wouldn't be able to live without having to look for blue spheres from the first playthrough.

>>387011430
i dont see the difference between the spindash and super peel-out outside spindash is safer by being in a ball.

>>387011539
please dont remind me, shits painful enough as it is, i feel like im being humillated by sega, they won and we didnt really do anything to enrage them or challenge them.

you have no idea how overpriced consoles are in mexico, that is why im only a pc user.

>>387011430
Sounds like the "Max Control" setting on Sonic 3 Complete. I'd be so down for that.

>>387011631
how exactly is that op as fuck? It just seems so pointless to me to take away super sonic when you can get hyper so quickly

and most of the time I dont even want to finish unlocking hyper anyways. I like super sonic more

>>387011561
It's finished but it looks like they're still polishing right before release.

>>387011631
>Mushroom Valley

>>387011583
To me, it shows that the medals aren't useless and may unlock even better things.

On a semi-related not, does anyone know how many ??? are in the extra menu?

>>387011604
>When Amy remembers CD she clearly doesn't remember herself or sonic in their classic designs
That is purely due to Sonic Team being lazy and not wanting to make custom character models for Classic Sonic and Classic Amy.

>>387011671
Peel-Out makes you go faster, and keeps you in non-ball form which has it's occasional uses. Besides, if you need to roll you can just press down.

>>387011772
the game comes out in less than two days, it's finished. the final copies have already been shipped

>>387011674
It was actually put in pipeline but squareenix doesnt have enough people spare so its on backburner again!

>>387011671
Super Peel-Out is faster to charge up and faster then a Spin Dash while you can also just roll instantly after you do it.

>>387004345
This is shit. And "pint-sized" is at best just an in between of classic and modern.

>>387011430
Fuck, I'd love that.

>>387011671
peel-out goes faster

>>387011604
honestly, I'm pretty sure that was raw laziness on Sega's part and they didn't want to make separate models again for one flashback for a character most people didn't know existed until Adventure

>>387010947
they could do a Mania 2 and 3 before people start to treat this shit like Megaman

>>387011067
do they unlock more characters?
like, just being able to play as Metal Sonic would be sugoi as fuck

>>387011597
I don't think so, Megaman wasn't widescreen and you couldn't even slide, I'm sure they will keep improving and adding things to the gameplay and probably graphics as long as it makes sense, all mainline Sonic games are pretty different after all.

>>387011926

>>387011597
It doesn't really matter at this point until Sega actually releases another classic-style game, if they ever do.
I hope the sales of Mania reflect that people still love the classic gameplay style, it would be cool to see them let Taxman push out a classic game in between 3D games.
I know for sure after Mania sells well that they're going to let him finally do an updated port of S3&K like he's always wanted, and since Mania ties back to classic games the sales of those on something like the current gen consoles' online stores would surge too.

Is Super Tails in the game? I don't care about Super Knuckles.

Okay guys, there's 5 ??? on the extra menu. 3 big ones and 2 small ones. I assume the big ones are the new moves, so what's the third one? As for the 2 small ones??

>>387012053
Not against more classic style games, I just wonder if the team couldn't benefit from being able to make classic styled games with Modern Sonic.

>>387012179
The unlocks have everybody back on the hype train.

>>387012202
and 32 medals

damn

>>387012202
Third might be homing attack

>>387012202
is this the progress the retard has up until the abilities?

or this progres is before he unlocked the abilities?

>>387012272
delet this

>>387012202
Clearly there are three selections. The two small ones are highlighted alongside with the left ones as well, indicating that it might be some sort of Sprite, Mode or Character switch.
>>387012141
Tails gets a tail attack from Sonic Advance and Knuckles gets to punch from Sonic Advance.

>>387012272
pls god no

>>387012179
Looks like finding out that the insta-shield and super peel-out are in the game (while also being able to have all three moves including the drop dash equip at the same time) have made people happy again.

>>387012183
It's that main melody, anon. It's good for the soul.

>>387011786
I say it's because Sonic Adventure is a soft reboot. It also showed Metal Sonic kidnapping Amy in Green Hill which wasn't in CD anyways.

There's an alternative CD timeline in the Modern Universe.

>>387011853
Don't lie to me. Not that it matters, Nomura is the only one that would ever push it through, and by the time he is done with FF7 Remake Episode 7, they'll have 10 new KH and FF games to shove him onto

>>387012307
cool if true

>>387012206
I think it'd be more trouble than it's worth to model a classic-styled game in 3D when Taxman has already proven he's got a more phenomenal understanding of the classic gameplay than Sonic Team does.
I say let 3D be the experimental grounds and let 2D be the grounded, classic gameplay.

>>387012272
Well I know I'll not be using that.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYk_9ULA6sE

The power of CONTENT.

>>387012304
After Peel-Out, but before Insta-Shield. It looks like the abilities don't show up on the extras screen. Also, those smaller ???'s are part of the larger ones to the left. You can see how everything on the same row is highlighted.

>>387012226
I-I never left it. The game looked like exactly what I wanted. I'm getting remixes of my all time favorite zones and some of my less liked zones got in and were improved. I hate Metallic Madness in CD and now it looks like it might be one of my all time favorites. Oil Ocean, man, Oil Ocean was improved by adding another unpopular zone's gimmicks. That is impressive as fuck. And Lava Reef has gone from a zone I was never that impressed with save for the great storytelling it had in the background and act transition to one of the first cave/lava zones with speed and flow.

I'm hype as fuck.

>>387012272
I'm sure that will never happen, the rest will be stuff for Tails and Knuckles.

>>387012335
>Green Hill
Wrong, the area in the flashback was actually Beta Windy Valley. Like I said, Sonic Team probably just didn't want to make whole new assets for a 5 second flashback.

>>387012307
oh shit nice catch. I guess that rules out new characters. Maybe the small ones are options for tails/knuckles versions of the peel-out/insta sheild

>>387012431
that's just plain poppycock

>>387012421
well, at least that means that the abilities are minor things and the blocked options are the true meat of the extras.

>>387011876
>Super Peel-Out is faster to charge up
No it isn't. You can charge a spindash faster depending on how fast you push the buttons

A spindash is also far quicker to execute if you just want an immediate spindash while SPO is delayed.

SPO is better for manipulating upwards inclines for high air times though.

>>387012367
No, a modern Sonic game in 2D. Again, a Sonic Advance spiritual sequel could work well.

>>387012529
That doesn't really make any sense, the Modern gameplay is all based around the boost mechanic and lock-on, the closest you can really get is the Advance series.

>>387012505
Actually, I imagine one of those ???'s with the extra thing out to the right is probably just Sound Test. Not sure what the other longer one could be, though.

>>387012596
It resembled the level design philosophy of Utopia.

>>387012616
*unlocked

Is this the menu where SPO and Insta-shield were unlocked? Or is it a separate thing?

Wait, wait, wait, guys the abilities are not part of the extras on the menu. When Mark got the peel-out, >>387012202 didn't change at all.
This means that whatever the extras are in this menu, they're not the abilities. The abilities are likely selected from the character select or automatically activated

>>387012642
Non apart from a stage file matching its via the naming convention, its likely one of the last unlocks

>>387012272
If its optional why not? Not's like its canon.

>>387012476
They could have just reused the assets from Sonic the Fighters which still looked good at the time so there's no excuse. They just didn't do it for consistency but because of that the classic universe is it's own thing...too bad.

>>387012904
You should wait until if they officially state that PC Mania is gonna have some kinda of anti-piracy shit that stops modding. Buy it on Switch though.

Taxman's Sonic CD 2011 had mods, but very seldom. Green Hill was ported but it was an alpha. Very simple shaders exist. Characters like Knuckles and Metal Sonic have been put into the game, but exists only as a sprite swap. If Mania modders get their shit together and put in cool ass shit like Mario, then maybe we'll have a deal.

>>387013038

Just looked at it, it looks pretty open world-like, the actual stages of SA1 aren't that different from it though, this recreation seems to be based on Red Mountain. I wonder what happened, every game after that feels very streamlined with only a few exceptions in SA2 and Sonic Heroes.

>>387013283
CD is already on steam though

>>387011067
How many are there for me to get?

How's the Switch's d-buttons for 2D platformers? The only Switch game I have is Spla2n so I've got no frame of reference. I don't want to shell out 70 burgerbucks for a pro controller but I will if I fucking have to.

>>387013039
>grind rails
Literally pointless in 2D just like the homing attack. The added attacks were pointless in a game where you're running(like Knuckles punches or Sonic's somersault...who uses that shit)

The closest thing I could think of is the party system in Advance 3.

>>387010675
I didn't forget Secret Rings, but I did forget Black Knight. It takes place immediately after Unleashed, because Sonic misses a date with Amy, and in Unleashed he agrees to a date with Amy.

>>387011067
That's cool, but I was expecting something bigger. Like being able to play as Metal Sonic since he does have some animations that seem to imply he's playable.

>>387013394
There's gotta be something cool for collecting all the shit

They weren't even thinking straight when they decided to delay it 4 days before the release they were too busy damage controlling

It could be Sonic 2, CD and fresh new port of Chaotix for all we know. I think it'll just be some bonus content and maybe some zone though.

>>387012202
32 medals to unlock everything is excessive I mean, what could really be extra enough to make it that worth while other than people are just competition-ists. I mean blue sphere is not THAT fun to warrant this many.
