Sonic Mania? *breathes in* HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I pirated this, didn't care for it

>>387629496

I didn't like freedom planet, I relly expected a soniclike game but they are nothing alike.

And levels are too fucking long for my taste.

>>387629496
The game is ok but the deviantart tier characters and voice acting kills it for me

Love this game it's like sonic crossed with megaman X or some treasure game
physics are a bit to jank to be compared to sonic though
sequel looks fucking good too

It's closer to Rocket Knight than literally every sonic game

>>387630586
You see the thing is retards think sonic was the only platformer on the genesis that's why they keep making comparisons to it, that and the general character design

Nah, pretty sure Sonic Mania is better.

>>387630762
The game literally started development as a sonic fangame and was only rebranded so they could sell it

>>387631138
I know what I'm saying is most people just only compare the final game to Sonic and nothing else

I really dislike how the sprites now have normal proportions in 2.
They should have kept the chibi look from the first game.

>>387630486
At least the boss battles are actually hard and fun in Freedom Planet.

>>387631303
Well it is clearly inspired by genesis Sonic and also objectively a much worse game, so the comparison is pretty easy to make especially in a cynical place like /v/

>>387629496
Sonic Mania is better than Freedom Planet, but that just speaks of how good it is. Both games are great. It helps Sonic had a bigger budget, of course.

>>387629496
Mania's goal was to be a great Sonic game, while FP's goal was to be a loveletter to the Mega Drive.

Classic Sega fans should be enjoying both games instead of pitting them against each other.

>>387631548
Yeah but what he's saying is that people will often just jump to sonic when trying to compare it.

I liked Freedom Planet but if you think it plays anything like Sonic you don't know shit about game design

Wasn't Taxman one of the programmers of Freedom Planet 2?

>>387632171
yes he helped them with the platforming framework in unity

>>387630586
It's closer to sonic than mario in the spectrum, even if it is clearly not a copy of sonic and does its own thing, and nobody cares about literally who platformer for xbox

>>387632171
Yes he is because he actually was a fan of the original freedom planet

>>387629496
The physics are way too floaty and you can tell it started out as a Sonic fangame. Feels like a cheap chinese knockoff.

I think he may be referring to that 2010 game

Pretty sure he's underaged then if he thinks that's the only iteration of RK.

>>387629496
Playing Mania put into perspective how shit Freedom Planet was by comparison.

>>387629496
Freedom Planet is a game for the modern fanbase of Sonic who want furries to write fanfictions of.

>Shitty fucking Sonic clone sold as a "new game", to the point of having Sonic-esque gameplay elements and characters
>Made in a shitty sloggish engine that even fucking Sonic Robo Blast 2 stopped using early as October 1998

My only issue with Freedom Planet 2 is people look at the new designs and they ASSUME the game is going to be 'more serious' and move away from the kiddy girl talk and comedy cutscenes with cringy as fuck voicework, and a laughably cartoony plot.

They're not. They have made clear they won't change the character's personality much nor will they make the overall plot too complicated.

The issue isn't that I have a problem with any of this. I actually enjoy it to an extent, even if I wouldn't dare watch them more than once.

My issue is I'm going to have to endure faggots online complain about those scenes.


AGAIN.

>>387633785
It differentiates itself enough from its sonic fangame roots and barely plays anything like a sonic game at all
SRB uses a modified doom engine FP uses clickteam's fusion engine

>>387632345
You aren't even wrong about the first part of the comment. Freedom planet is a mix of sonic, rocket knight and ristar (and they wanted to do gunstar heroes/alien soldier with torque's gameplay).

But holy fuck you fucked it up.

>>387633927
If they make no filler scenes, improve the voice audio quality and make the cutscenes less of a chore to sit through it'll be fine

>>387634118

He's talking about the original Robo Blast.

>>387633927
>>387634193
they can just play classic mode like the first game then
Im sure they are aware that not everyone wants to watch their furry fanfiction cutscenes

I meant back when it started in early 1998. It used to be Klik and play, an earlier version of CTF

I'm happy that Mania will outsell this game tenfold.

Worst timeline

>>387634694
The only way it doesn't is if it's an 06/Boom-tier disaster. I highly highly doubt it will be, but yeah even a mediocre outing will probably still outsell Mania.

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that Night in the Woods is ugh and Life is Strange is hella and Undertale's a steven universe.

>>387631512
I like Freedom Planet but the boss battles were the worst part of the game. They were more of a chore to fight than actually difficult.

>>387634969
is NitW any good? Looks eh to me but I'm not even sure what the gameplay is like.

I enjoyed undertale, as the lite shmup gameplay resonated with me.

Not shitposting but I hated every Sonic game I've ever played and I really enjoyed FP
The demo for FP2 was pretty fun as well

It's interesting. Play it if games which are interesting, but which you may not like, are worthwhile to you.
