I truly hope this fucking flops fuck this stupid franchise.
SONIC MANIA

Pretty based so far
>>149320187
>509
WE'RE SKIPPING THREADS HERE MAN
First for Best song
>this guitar solo
THAT WAS FUCKING PERFECT!
>>149320269
We had two 507s.
>open the door
>Johnny on the floor
>Suddenly a new character is revealed
>Walk the Dinosaur
>Yfw
mania looks fun.
Looks like we're gonna get 1 classic 1 modern and 1 boom game this year. Neat!
Every new Sonic game should be like Sonic Mania in terms of gameplay, aesthetics, music, and everything in between
Every non-game Sonic thing should be like Mega Drive in terms of story, art, aesthetics, and roster (Classic cast only)
>>149320269
We did 507 twice so 509 is correct.
So, Crush 40 performing was one whole segment? And, there's supposed to be a whole lot more plus another big announcement?
This is gonna be a looooong night.
I was hoping Johnny would swear at least one more time.
INTERMISSION? SLOW TIME?
No one cares about your product placement.
>>149320269
We had two #507's in a row, we're good.
>>149320187
Props to OP for remembering to correct the thread number among all the hype
>>149320269
yes we are that fast now

3ds version of sonic mania when?
No reason for it to only be on ps4/bone
>NOW LOADING
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
>NOW LOADING
>>149320356
>Giving Classic Amy huge boobs.
>Even worse, giving her just one boob.
But why.
>>149320241
I agree. Why the fuck they're pandering to people who already hate the franchise I have no idea.
>2d Genesis throwback is the big game
So this is what we've come to. For 18 years Nintendo fans have whined and moaned about how Sonic shouldn't have characters, stories, or be anything but 2d, and every single game we've had for ten years has been pared down and stripped of everything but the barest facade of what the series was.
And it was never enough. Even though we haven't had alternate characters in a game for ten years, or even a story in 6, we still hear the same complaints parroted over and over.
And look where we are now. We aren't allowed to have anything except exactly what one segment of the population grew up with.
>>149320647
it could come out on NX when it's revealed
>They didn't even acknoledge sonic boom game

>>149320673
cry harder n e r d
>>149320367
No. Get cancer and die
So does the video imply there's still more to come or were they just too lazy to edit Mania into it?
>his parents named him skyler
>>149320673
Lets hope this is truly Act 1.
But for now, lets not complain. People are gonna love this game, and we shouldn't rain on their parade. This game looks awesome.
>>149320673
You're just mad because Sonic's going back to what made him great to begin with instead of digging up the shit that made him the joke of the industry
Sonic Dash?
Chao in the background.

Why do you want the franchise to be bad anon? Going back to its roots the right way is the best way to make it good again
>>149320468

I'm not sure how to feel about this.
I know we're mid stream and shit is amazing and terrible all at once but...
I finished the bump ref so now we can have a base Bump to use.
I'm still thinking about redesigning her.. maybe tommrow.
>new chao renders
how many times do we have to reimagine green hill zone?

Fuck.
Modern Fans shouldn't give up.

>>149321127
Egofaggot hates Sonic period. I hate the disgusting mess Sonic became after the Dreamcast.
>Modern fans shouldn't give up
God fucking dammit you blew it
So when is Ken Penders going to show up? You know people care about Sonic only because of him and his work on the comic.
>>149321136
Why are deer sisters so sexual?
>>149321040
Bretty gud

Jeez, this teasing is ridiculous.
>Kazuyuki
>>149321040
This Bump has nothing to bump with. I REJECT IT.
>>149321040
I don't agree with it. I'll continue to draw her the way I like to, sorry.
>>149321127
epic comeback!!!
Keys is a pretty cool guy, I like him
>>149321057
that neutral chao is legit adorable
>>149321190
Holy fuck I'm dying
Gonna be honest, this is the first time I've been excited for a Sonic game with -zero- skeptism and pessimism since I was a kid. All those lies over the years of "we're going back to the classics" but then they fuck it up in some glorious way, Sonic has FINALLY hit a home run.
INB4 modern announcement is the Egoraptor shitshort
>>149321040
Everything is delivery tonight, thank you anon
>>149321253
That's not the redesign, anon.
Is Iizuka urging us to use Mr. Sparkle..?
>GENESIS ROMHACK

Th-thanks Arin.
>>149321283

>>149321289
>Battle armor

>Mememan's favorite is S3&K
Truly the choice of gentlemen.
>Modern fans shouldn't give up
Thank you Aaron, my spirit has risen yet again
>>149321298
It doesn't look like the way she used to be drawn, though. And it doesn't look like how I draw her. So I don't agree with it as the "official" model sheet.
>>149321438
Got a link to this artist's tumblr?
>>149320187
Retro Engine confirmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxmtYdEWVzo
Why did you team up with indie fans?
>Because we don't know what the fuck Sonic is anymore, so we hired the people who do.
It's about fucking time.
So there are bringing back levels from 1, 2, and 3&K.
>>149321359

Where the Sonic Dash update at?
>>149321289
>that hardlight Acorn equipment
wait what
what IS it
>>149321550
I tried to base it of these kind of images.. idk if that was the right choice
Live and Learn was written by Jun and Johnny together. Wow, I thought that just Jun made it.
>>149321606
>Tracing
since when?
>>149321606
I've always seen this, has there ever been pictures of what he's been tracing. Or is this a meme
>>149321641
Wait really?
>>149321448
>yeah all it took was for it to be nothing but a romhack
As someone whose part of the fan game community, I am COMPLETELY fine with this
it's a fan game with actual production values, it's gorgeous
Honestly, the new game doesn't look like a Genesis title.It looks like a 32x title.
>>149321606
Got anything to support that claim, anon?
>METAL SONIC IS THE BEST CHARACTER
YOU ALL HEARD IT HERE FOLKS
>>149321690
Pretty sure Johnny writes most of the lyrics.
METAL SONIC BEST CHARACTER CONFIRMED
The stream audio is grat.
>best character is metal sonic

Wow fuck Sega making a romhack for Sonic 3 instead of a real sequel

The famous "tails monitor" in hidden palace zone was because they designed what little of the level there was before they added the new monitors and then altered the IDs from their sonic 1 values. it was just a ring box with the sonic 1 IDs

The guy in the Sonic costume cannot see at all.
That must be horribly awkward.

It's probably quite a dark room and the suit likely doesn't have good visibility. That, or the suiter's already dying from heat and dehydration.
>>149322524
literally how
Welcome to Hello Kitty sponsored by torttiroitros gross ass nacho things
>>149322352
Alright, goodnight anon.
>costume contest
Oh boyyyyyy.
This fucking Event #2 better be something.
Just, a coherent story not written by fucking Graff. Multiple characters. Doesn't even have to be tied or reference Adventure. Pleeeease.
>>149322545
The suit might be lacking proper eye-holes.
More likely, the guy in it is absolutely wasted.
>Oh shit everybody's pretty pissed at the Hello Kitty thing..
>And for being talked to like they were literally 6 years old...
>Shit, shit, shit!
>QUICK! Play the Mania trailer again!
This is sad.

>>149322751
Can your computer not run Genesis roms?
What the fuck is happening to the YouTube stream
>>149322689
I think Aaron was saying something about live behind the scenes stuff while they did the costume contest before they cut to the video, so I think this is technical difficulties.
>>149322696
You're a godsend anon
also I'm glad they got this artist again-- I love their style so much. Wish they did more issues so far.
Rip?
>>149322660
guy at sdcc here, Hideki Naganuma just walked back stage holding a Blaze plushy
>>149322696
Okay anons, remind me why the fanbase wants SA3 again
>>149322689
as if it was that controlled. This is literally them stalling for time as a dozen neckbeards in shitty costumes line up and they have to drag the 'celebrity' judges away from the bar where they're drinking themselves to death.
This is such a badly organised event it is stunning even for sonic. I mean fuck they still can't even get the audio right, it's popping and cracking STILL. How hard it is to just set up one fucking audio feed?
>>149322840
just stop
one anon already has the entire thing scanned
>>149322859
Because Adventure was their first sonic game and nostalgia.
>>149322836

The PS3 and 360 are dead.
Retard here.
Is the new sonic a new game, a NES remix sort of thing or a remake of the original sonic.

You ARE retarded.
>>149322859
They think that it will have the "good plot" that their rose tinted glasses fooled them with the previous adventure games
>>149322974
Seems to be a new spin on classic zones and some completely new zones.
>>149322809
It's looking a bit more like a step above Sega CD but I'll leave you to your deluded memes.
Not sure why you're mad, you'll get more shitty games with wisps soon, as long as Iizuka doesn't die.
>>149322840
>>149322974
It's more like Mega Man 9, a new game done in retro style.
>>149322974
It's a new entire game that use the 16-bit sprites, no, a more improved 16-bit style sprites, with Taxman.
Maybe they are going for the route of
>Taxman & Co develops 2D games
>Sonic Team develops 3D games
>>149323001
>>149322913
please
>>149322293

Hideki Naganuma is not a myth! I've seen him!
>>149322859
I always thought they've could've improved on the good aspects of those games and create something great.
but since unleashed came out I think the moment passed. Boom was intended to revive some of those elements but we know how that went.
>>149322859
Closure to be honest. When it comes out, and it's mediocre, I can leave my childhood behind and open my eyes. After that I'll start on becoming a mature and responsible adult

Sonic Mania was the opening act
>>149323278
SLEEP TIGHT JOHNNY
all this merch and tie ins and IP talk.
I'm jaded as fuck, I just wanted games and sonic toys. I don't give a fuck about lego and hello kitty. I want everything to stop merging into giant who owns what IP clusterfucks. Of COURSE sonic and hello kitty was going to cross over, SEGA hold a majority share in Sanrio, they're just using both brands in a desperate attempt to keep them relevant.
Just make cool new sonic shit. I get that it's hard to make new merch of a 25 year old design but god damnit at least try. I won't want hello kitty characters wearing sonic and friends skin. Nor shitty blocky ass lego tie in shit.

I really do love the hypocrisy in this thread.
>People losing their shit and defending Sonic Mania tooth nail and claw
>Meanwhile they are gushing over Jun and his songs full-well knowing that he will never perform or make music for a 2D game for the simple fact that any 2D game nowadays is obvious nostalgia pandering and won't have adventure-era songs.
I really do love the retardation.

Can you blame them?
>>149323278

anyone has a picture of kitty and sonic costumes?

Aww poor Bar, he actually feels bad
>>149323563
So instead of getting more of the music you like you'd rather have a half-assed shitty rehash of a 1992 game with upgraded graphics that you've already played several times just for the sake of nostalgia?
>>149323636
Cute! I ship it.
>>149323359
Calm yer tits. They're announcing the main game later.

No sonic porn artist streams today? come on.
I'm siting here watching a man eat nachos at 12:08 in the morning. What has my life become
Is he saying 'fucking couch'?
>>149322859
The same reason some of the fanbase wants another Genesis game It's what got them into the franchise. For a huge chunk of the fanbase, it's what theit image of the franchise is.
It's like Transformers. For some people, G1 is what they grew up with, and that's all the franchise should ever be. But a huge chunk of the fantasy grew up with Beast Wars or what came after. The other stuff might have even come out before they were born.
So you have one part of the fanbase endlessly getting pandered to, while the fans that carried the franchise through a couple of decades get told to fuck off.
>>149323074
>>149323078
Alright thank you. I hope they don't charge more than 40 bucks for this.
>>149323562

>>149323695
>calm your tits
>during this clusterfuck
Just a little actually management could have improved this sad facade by a million degrees.
Love the Sonic Mania art style. It reminds me of CD and Knuckles Chaotix
>>149323654
I don't need to make any solid arguments because we've already been through this with Sonic 4 and almost every DS game since Colors.
Rehashing the classics never works because anyone who liked the classics that much have already played it to death so rehashing it for them only makes them more jaded even if they first fawn over it in the initial reaction.
>>149323732
I'm guessing $20-30 at most.
>>149323707
The only Totino's product that's ever good is the pizza rolls. Anything else they've tried to make is terrible.
>>149323636

>>149323947
I blame Mega Man.
>>149323892
>>149323947
That should say it all about how the comic is viewed by the general fanbase.
>>149323883
I don't know if this is the saddest or funniest thing I've seen this thread.
>>149323817
Super Big sees through this super bait. Nobody is actually this stupid on accident.
>>149324008
It shows that the comic is shit and needs to be like Mega Drive in order for people to like it/be good
>>149323802
>I'd rather play the same game over and over again then at least try to make the formula more exciting even if it has huge risks.
I'm not defending Sonic Boom or Lost World and hell I even dislike Unleashed but I'd rather have another Unleashed than another fucking Classic-era game because I've already played those to death.
I dare say anyone who truly likes Sonic Mania even though it's clearly a rehash is actually, legitimately autistic.
Have the Sonic Mania naysayers ever played a Taxman game? They're nothing like Sonic 4.
OH BOY HERE WE GO
>>149323891
One more I think.
I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I do not want it to end.
so did we skip the costume content then? it sounded like we were missing it during the nachos commercial.
Pretty sure I heard aaron announce a grand prize winner, during the end of that nacho shit.
Aw yis Boom Season 2 time
>>149324056
>I dare say anyone who truly likes Sonic Mania even though it's clearly a rehash is actually, legitimately autistic.
>If they like what I don't like they're autistic
Coming from a retard like you who likes the modern trash this is hilarious
So, does this count for Boom on the bingo card?
Because then all we need, sadly, is Pontaff for a bingo.
I don't want that bingo.
>anyone who likes a game i don't like is autistic
No (you)'s for you
>>149324114
They figured nobody on the stream gave a shit about cosplayers.
They were right.
Oh boy they are showing this shitshow
Did people actually boo Roger just then?
Man, I don't even like the English voices but VAs are so great
>>149324008
All the other merch there is either new or con exclusive.

fucking lol. I swear Sonic Team is entirely staffed by wardens of the state
they burned money on a car to use as a TV stand but couldn't get the VAs chairs and microphones
I'm honestly optomistic for Sonic Boom. They really found their voice late season 1.
>tfw I like Classic, Adventure, and Modern
>>149324189
oh yeah fuck that I just wanted to see what the prizes were.
Cast of Sonic Boom on stage.
SWAP TO THIS ASSHOLE!

No, no you little shits, let me see the fucking VAs
quit taking us backstage for nonsense and product placement
>>149324305
Something anime or Marvel related, probably.
>>149324345
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Thanks Totino's, I didn't want to see the VAs after all.

>>149324173
>Doing the same thing over and over again isn't autistic.
Nigga I didn't even say I disliked the classics I just said I got sick of playing them after 3 fucking times. Thanks for resorting to a logical fallacy and putting words in my mouth in order to dodge the fact that you have nothing to argue against me with.
By all means though, clutch your controller for your 300-400$ 2015 gaming console as you play a mildly upgraded Sonic 2 Rehash and keep telling yourself that Sonic is finally out of the shitter when in reality I'm pretty sure no one outside of the inclusive Sonic fans want this enough to actually go out of their way and buy it.
>we're working on a game...and I can't say much more
3D Sonic game confirmed.
>>149324482
So you're admitting you never played a Taxman game, got it.
>>149324553
The fact that Mega Drive, a COMIC, sold out, and was the only Sonic comic to ever do so proves that going back to Sonic's roots will make him popular again
Fuck Sonic Boom, let's see the shitty game based on Sonic Boom!

#STUFFEDNACHOS
I can't recall something of this level and a livestream and so many fucks up in one go, from audio sounds, odd skipping of content, and just straight up JUST as there about to start doing something cool, it cuts to a weird shill interview? this has to be, and i strongly think this, the oddest clusterfuck of any gaming convention ever

all that's left is Modern..
>NEVERMIND WE'RE NOT GOING BACK TO THE MAIN STAGE
>>149324790
No, but bring up the classics to the average joe and they're more likely to remember them than the Modern atrocities. No Modern game has ever been as beloved as the Genesis trilogy, and it's time to accept that Modern was a mistake
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS HAPPENING WITH THIS STREAM
>there is going to be something for every Sonic fan, and if you want to see what I mean, wait until the end of the stream
It's definitely a 3D Sonic game. I can't wait! Getting a great 2D game and a great 3D game in one year is a dream come true!
Is Roger bald?
>Unique humour
>>149324845
....What is this TGT?
Why can't we fucking see the VAs? I hope Aaron answers this at some point, because it's really, really anoying as all hell.
I could understand if they wanted to show cool stuff from the backstage, but no.
>over 500 posts in under an hour
This is true fast.
>>149324859
They did a read through of an episode, probably skipped for legal reasons. Now there's a Q&A.
We missed RCS.
Goddamnit.
9:55 ???? BIG ANNOUNCEMENT #2 is basically confirmed to be Arin + Big's Fishing Adventure 3 at this point
>something for everyone
Sonic Mania is for the actual Sonic fans
Big's Fishing thing is for the Sonic 'fans' who don't really care about the games/show/etc. but just like memes, basically all of the 'fans' brought in by the Game Grumps/Twitter interaction
so yes, something for everyone indeed
I just got here. has anythingbigbeen announced yet?
>>149324794
No, mostly because of the level design not being conducive to the combi ring gameplay in any way other than being obnoxiously vertically oriented so you have to throw your partner every now and then.
The engine feels right but the levels just kill it.
>le romhack
>taxman was never good
This is like 3 shitters doing this. We get it. Stop crying and just watch the show.
>>149324793
>>149324802
ooh boy. I am excited for this fresh new hell of emboldened retrofags
>>149324407
>Something anime or Marvel related, probably.
Most likely marvel, he's barely in anime these days.
>>149324790
Thanks for fighting the good fight against these fucking idiots. Yeah Sonic Mania is a fucking rehash. I literally scoffed at the fucking screen. I'm just hoping they announce something half way decent for Modern Sonic or this franchise is indeed fucked for good.
>No telling how much VA banter we've missed because of nachos.
>>149324916
I'm pretty sure there are just as many people that know Sonic for Sonic Adventures than there are for the classics. Hell a lot of people praised Generations because of how well it handled 3D not because of the 2D.
>>149324940
>Great 3D game
Isn't that an oxymoron when it comes to Sonic
>implying they won't reveal the movie at the end.

Garbage that's popular because it's a meme.
Welcome to Totino's Frozen Foods General. Let's talk about Totino's frozen food products, old and new, and the entire franchise including product placement and sponsorships. Share art, music, talk about new developments, discuss store brand imitations, speedeating, etc.

>>149324056
>>149323802
>>149323685
I don't understand this "rehash" and "already played to death" arguments. It's only 3 short games, if you like them and already played them to death, wouldn't you want new levels and bosses instead of replaying the same ones? Because that is what it is pretty much, new levels for the games we like.
>>149324553
>I didn't even say I disliked the classics I just said I got sick of playing them after 3 fucking times.
So you only played each of them once already got sick, even though those games are very short and replayable? I mean, we haven't had anything similar and good for decades, it's not like they've been releasing new good 2D Sonics every year or anything.
>>149325210

>>149325407
They're looking a little Sonic Heroes tier plasticy though.
Which is more annoying, Classicfags denouncing every single 3D game as trash, or Adventure/Modernfags screaming about rehashes and calling Sonic Manic a romhack.
>>149325385
>Where did it all go so wrong?

The answer is clearly those who complain when they get hit in classic Sonic games and blame the game for being badly designed because they can't go fast.

Is it just me or does it looks a bit better than season 1? I think the lighting's improved.

They are half an hour behind schedule according to the program. They should be showing the LEGO stuff now.
Fire & Ice is written by Pontaff, right? I'm counting it, even if they don't mention them, that's a bingo.
>>149325604
I think the models have been updated a bit too. A bit more colorful and vibrant.
>>149325728

>>149325475
YouTube memecucks who keep parroting how Sonic should be 2d, have no playable characters, and have no story
>>149325409
I call it a Rehash when more than 60% of the game is based off another game in the same franchise but won't call itself a sequel.
Secondly there are people in this thread who are agreeing with me but have a very harsh and radical veiw, please do not mistake me for them.
I have played Sonic 1 twice, Sonic 2 3 times and Sonic 3 about 4 and while they were fun while they lasted I cannot get back into them and no rehash or remake will get me back into them too because unlike games of the modern times, replayability back then had to do with finding new stuff, now it's for getting new content ie. levels, equipment, powers.
I'd personally rather have another game entirely and not have a rehash. Generations was the best Sonic game in almost 10 years and they ruined the momentum by turning over to Lost World. They need to stick to a formula otherwise we will never actually get anywhere in the franchise.
Ultimately this is my opinion and I realize that so I've cooled off and I'll let it be but I still do not understand this constant Nostalgia baiting. I think new and more content will always be better than rehashing something and just slapping more stuff onto it for the sake of guaranteed sales which is exactly what they are doing.

They also made Sonic R.

This counts as crossover right? Or did we already check that off on the bingo card?

as bad as that looks, that will make millions.
>>149325814
>>149325948
3D Blast is weird in that in had an interesting concept but I can't think of anything specific that would make it an actual good game.
That trailer actually looked fun, not gonna lie
>>149325930
Sonic Mania is a sequel though. Every Sonic game is a sequel to whatever Sonic game came out last.
>>149325885
Yeah, one of them even runs their own channel. A little thing called Game Grumps. Probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.
Sonic meets Gauntlet.

it is but it's a DLC platform so it can get expensive
on the upside it's physical DLC and costs only a little more than a normal lego set

>>149326721
>>149326737
It's clearly not Generations 2, because we saw a new location. It's probably a game where you play the 3D levels as Modern Sonic and the 2D levels as Classic Sonic.

I wouldn't mind.
we see a dark future where Eggman has taken over the world.
although I think its odd to have classic and modern team up again
how weird it must be to end up on stage with people chanting YOUR name last at a sonic event where you're on stage with iizuka and craig and jun and everyone.

All part of the keikaku.
I hope the new game has Blaze in it!
Guys, remember, Classic Eggman saw his future and went back to his time in Generations. This game is the result of that.
>>149326875
my brother
the first time I'm hype for a video game in years
>>149326846
You literally just described generations.
The only reason the two sonics exist in the same time is because of the plot device in generations
>>149326809
Yes, I was...
I-Is this happening anons?
After months of fucking nothing we finally have a new game.
Now we don't need to kill this general
Goodnight, /sthg/.
>Sonic Team being in charge of Classic Sonic physics again
Fuck.
I thought this was why they hired fans to do it, though? Because Sonic Team doesn't know what happens when you put a ball on a hill?
Congrats guys.
We made it through the slow times.
Only fast now.
IS THIS CGI? I CAN'T TELL BUT IT LOOKS GREAT
>>149326809
I expected it, but was surprised it didn't happen. I wouldn't have minded, but that might just be the hype talking.
>>149326818
The city is literally being destroyed by Death Egg robots.
>>149326929
This looks like new stages.
And it looks like a somewhat seriousish story.
And possibly more characters/Dreamcast Sonic/Boom Sonic. Not sure yet.

Nintendo's next platform, which they haven't actually revealed yet. They've just said it exists.
So far Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Sonic Project 2017 are the only games confirmed for it.
>>149326958
The only girl that matters.
>>149326916
Except the stream
>>149326984
Yeah, but in Generations we had no new locations. This is clearly different. It also appears to have a story now.
I'm disheartened that they are going with the Modern Sonic/Classic Sonic gimmick again, but since its going to be new levels this time I can accept. Stream was shitty, but overall the announcements were alright anyone else agree?
Sonic 5 and Generations 2
Holy fucking shit. It wasn't a disaster.
>>149326984
It's Generations 2 in the same way that Colors DS was Rush 3, which is to say similar gameplay with the story and main gimmick not being a direct sequel.
>>149327041
is it a song that'll be in Mania or was it in a previous game?
It's bretty gud
>>149327009
Maybe with Taxman doing Mania, he can help out in that regard.
>>149324697
"Sonic Adventure 3" is an extremely vague term, and you have to remember that different people have different definitions of it. Maybe Iizuka's definition is highly-specific, in which the game absolutely has to have stuff like a grand scale, action-packed adventure story, multiple gameplay-styles, and heavy hair metal. Even then, a lot of people who want a "Sonic Adventure 3" simply want a 3D Sonic game that's just designed in the same vein as the Adventure titles.
>>149326981
Man, this came out so much better than I could have expected
I got legit scared when Mania rolled around
Holy shit I need to watch this again
>>149327043
So is Project 2017 in the Adult, Child, or Downfall timeline?

They are clearing different robots. The head and the body look very different.
I was really hoping Aaron would go through all of the hints/teasers/cryptic messages he's been posting for the past few months and explained how each one relates to what was revealed today

>>149327009
>>Sonic Team being in charge of Classic Sonic physics again
At which point did you come up with this?
>>149327195
It's more Sonic 4 than the actual Sonic 4, so yeah Mania is Sonic 5.

I'd give it an 8/10
Kept my expectations minimal and came out pleased.
Remember guys, Pontaff isnt working on this one
>>149326846
>all future games will have 3d and classic stages
>they can't disappoint the fanbase if each game caters to both halves of the fanbase.
This is pretty genius on segas side, not gonna lie. They finally fucking listened.
I thought the trailer toward the end was cool, and then Classic Sonic showed up, but it still looks interesting so I'm hype.
>>149327164
I wanted more along the lines of Sonic doing the kitty, but that is just as good.
>>149327259
Probably when he saw "Sonic Team" and classic Sonic in the same game trailer.
>>149327259
Oh, gee, I wonder if it was the point in the trailer where where Classic Sonic shows up.
>>149327083
>story
>Pontac and Graff
expect 2 hours of Baldy McNosehairs jokes
>>149327332
It was like some more serious, darker cartoon, and then fucking Mickey Mouse shows up in his bright pastel colors and a big grin on his face. It's a weird contrast.
>>149327426
Exactly how I felt.
>>149327097
It kind of was though.
All this says is that they're only going to rehash shut until the franchise is dead.
>>149327097
This was a disaster in the same way a five car pile up in Clownopolis is a tragedy with a triple digit body count but no one is capable of not laughing while they tell the story.
>takes place in a town

>tfw they had fun making generations but all it could be was adapting existing stages into existing styles
>tfw all the cool shit they could do if they built the stages symbiotically and how awesome shit they can with mixing the playstyles now they get to design stages fresh and not just remixing old stages.
not gonna lie guys, that's kinda hype
Why did they lie to me? Do they think this is funny?
>>149327658
What do you think all that ash was?
>>149327762
It's better.
It's Sonic '06 fixed.
call me picky but I was glad to see Mania revive the classic era but I'm a little uneasy about classic and modern Sonic teaming up again. Generations felt like a one time idea.
>>149327841
if the bugs and loading times were fixed how would your rating of sonic 06 change?
I honestly don't know what to make of this thing. While I love Generations, I'm worried that it's going to be too similar to it.
We'll get Classic Sonic with broken physics again followed by Modern Sonic with levels that are half 2.5D anyway.
So, at best, we're getting 25% of a 3D Sonic game, while 50% is going to pale in comparison to Mania. Have fun.
>new modern sonic
>it looks like generations 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9A6788MNjk
Is everyone just ignoring the fact Iizuka said he wants to make Adventure 3 one day

>>149328329
>thats a huge fucking confirmation its going to happen eventually barring nothing happens to change his mind
ftfy
people are going to argue if this new game is a sequel to Generations for years.
apparently the trailer took place in classic city escape
I'm a little mad, honestly. I want a real 3D Sonic. They had such a good thing going hiring the fans to make them a proper 2D game and then what do they do? Go ahead and slap Classic Sonic back into the Modern games again!
You clearly want to cater to both parties and you were doing just fine with Mania. Why waste our time with more Classic in this 2017 game when that time could be spent developing a fully 3D Sonic?
>>149328869
I love the classic love and glad to see a project like Mania
but I'm not really thrilled about Classic and Modern teaming up in the new big game, It's like a trump card they've already played once. I thought have two separate game should've been good for everybody.
>>149327762
There was a post from someone at SoA talking about how burnt Sonic Team was by 06 and the Adventure gameplay and friends that they are hesitant to ever revisit it. I think what Aaron was trying to do was the same thing he did with Chao, show the fan support to convince them to do it in the future.
>>149328848
I was trying to work out what city it was
>>149329307
Sonic cites tend to take elements from real world cities. So what real world city has brides and architecture like that? If it matches a real city that has inspired a Sonic city before probably a safe bet that it's that one. But if not it could be a whole new level.
>>149329439
it doesn't look exactly like 'san francisco''
How'd I do, guys?
Guys. I just realized.

The modding community is going to save this game, just like it did Generations. Hype re-instated.
