So jealous of consolefags right now.
I haven't anticipated a game this hard since I was 10 years old.

>bro with a switch keeps texting me about how much fun he's having with mania
I'm with ya anon, the wait is killing me

>>186851483
I'm over that after actually seeing more of the stages.

I want to rip the cock off the fucker who designed Mania's special stages. Why in the actual hell would you deliberately design a 3D game system that plays terribly in a game that's meant to be a return to Sonic's 2D roots, and then design each of those levels in such a way that you have to either be ridiculously lucky or replay the stage multiple times to learn the optimal path to catch the UFO.
I get that Blue Sphere is too easy, but the way the special stages are handled is just needlessly frustrating and due to the complete lack of confidence that you'll be able to get an Emerald whenever you find a special stage ring, most players just grind a stage for easy to find rings instead of actually exploring and playing the game.

Why could it not have been something like Advance 2 or Sonic 2 8-bit, where you just have to find the Emerald or a couple of tokens in the level to get the Emerald. Who thought it was a good idea to destroy the reward for exploration by locking it behind a deliberately awkward and unfun minigame? It was shit in CD, did they really think it'd be better here.

>>186852437
Does anyone actually enjoy the special stages, though? Aside from whether or not you find them unbearable, does anyone really feel "Yes, I love chasing this UFO in knockoff Sonic R?"

>>186852437
Anyone know how this fucker is doing in Mania? Is he getting his ass blown out?

>>186852557
I didn't really have any problem with them. Sounds to me like some people are just upset that they can't effortlessly succeed at something on their first attempt.

>>186852557
The music plays a big part in the enjoyment and Mach Speed 3 is pretty good. They're actually really easy once you know general tricks to the movement.

>>186851774
Literally just play S3&K.
Mania is good, but the only really great NEW elements are aesthetic. Most of the new bosses are cool only the first time you fight them, and the new Zones are visually awesome but tend to center too heavily on gimmicks at the detriment of smooth gameplay, imo.
Special Stages are hit-or-miss, some people like
>>186852312
will hate them.
And the controls are just flat out fucking S3&K, they didn't even try to modernize them the slightest bit so you still get annoying input cancellations (game can't register Down at the same time as Right, you smack right into an enemy at top speed instead of rolling).

>>186850143
It's a great track but it doesn't feel very Sonicy in my opinion. To me it sounds like music that would play in a lively town in an RPG or maybe an early level in adventure game. It has a very "hero setting off on a journey" vibe rather than "final level of the game where shit starts getting real" feel.

I think I am disappointed because I realize there will never be a spiritual successor to the Sonic Advance series.

>>186847280
What issue is that image from?

>>186850143
I share your opinion.

>>186852758
I wouldn't have a problem learning the stages over multiple attempts if I didn't also have to scour every stage, within a ten-minute time limit, or just abuse NG+ mechanics to do so. They could have canned Blue Sphere and just put the Special Stages in the goal rings and it would have worked a lot better (though I like the incentive to explore).

>>186852853
They're really easy once you've already learned each stage, sure. They're not even really difficult, the controls are just braindead. Challenge shouldn't come from forcibly handicapping the player.

>>186853115
Mania literally can't register two button presses under certain conditions. I'm not actually sure if it's due to input cancellation or just how the game handles sprites changing or what, but it's been a thing since the first Sonic.
It's not really a big deal, just a pet peeve. Calm your shitposting, Phil.

personally i fucking hate them, but i love seeing shit like this regardless

It is just...I think the Advance series, with more care put into level design (helped with a better resolution) probably could have had an installment as good as S3K, but with classic Sonic coming in this will never happen.

The special stage rings could be changed too, its really awful to have to get every ring in one life and then do the annoying special stage. If it just remembered which rings you had gotten in each stage and let you do them non-consecutively it'd be much better.

Other than that, Advance 2 is pretty awesome. The multiple characters were great, and the stages are pretty memorable (Ice Paradise and Music Plant a best)

If all of the Sonic characters were in a band, what instruments would they play?

Sonic - guitar and vocals
Amy - drums and back up vocals
Tails - moral support
Shadow - bass
Blaze - piano
Silver - triangle

Infinite is Amy

>>186855234
I don't know what you're smoking. obviously it's knuckles on drums

tails would play three different keyboard/synthesizers at once and handle all the weird effects

sonic would shred on the guiter and shadow would be the edgy bass player who always thinks his instrument is underrated

amy can be the waifu, i guess

they can be the Hellhogs and play speed metal

>>186855234

What genre?
I pick Jazz

Rouge - vocals
Knuckles - backing vocals
Vector - bass / guitar
Tails - trombone
Amy - saxophone
Sonic - organ

Sonic Heroes felt like one long tutorial.

So I'm thinking about writing some lengthy Sonic fan fiction. It'll be a rebooted setting, which is already a little cheesy, I know, but I want to adhere somewhat to a familiar timeline and that feels like the best way to go about this sort of thing.

While I have a number of ideas kicking around, I'm curious what sorts of things people here would want. If you were in charge of doing things to "fix" or otherwise improve the story and or characters from the timeline spanning from Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) to Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)?

>>186855559
I agree. It doesn't help that even in Hang Castle they're still explaining what the light dash is and have all of those signs around

>>186855609

don't write lengthy sonic fan fiction

>>186855685
I'd draw comics, but I have pretty limited artistic talent outside of design. Instead I'll just include some illustrations with help from a friend of mine to accompany scenes rather than have to deal with the much greater task of actual comic making.

I used to be extremely picky about what foods I ate. You know those greentexts about adults eating nothing but tendies? That was me, but not an overweight basement dwelling NEET. Everything about eating nothing but tendies (NO FUCKING NUGGIES) was me. Anyway, I decided to try chili dogs because of Sonic. It took awhile to work my way up. First I tried chili and loved it. Then I tried hot dogs and they were okay. Finally I tried chili dogs and loved them. After that I started making my own chili and forced myself to experiment with new ingredients. Now I cook all of my meals myself and use tons of spices and different cuts of meats and vegetables. I even grow my own rosemary and basil. I haven't bought frozen tendies in years. When I go out to eat I don't have to order off the kids' menu anymore

Sonic helped me become a competent adult

>>186855797
When I was 12 I bought the Sonic OVA on VHS. I watched it and loved it. Two weeks later I was hit by a car and this was the only thing I watched for weeks. I was too weak to get out of bed to find another movie to watch. My video games were hooked up to a different TV so I had nothing to play. Internet wasn't really a thing yet either so all I had was Sonic. This probably sounds extremely autistic but I feel like Sonic has always been there for me because of this. He was around during the best times of my life and the absolute worst. I can't say that about my family or friends. Just Sonic.

I made farro salad recently and it was delicious. It's mostly just farro and some herbs and spices boiled in chicken broth. Throw in some roasted tomatoes and chicken and it's a nice lunch. You can eat it warm or cold.

Any meals that that require some kind of overnight prep would be good while we wait for Mania, like chili or a steak . Having a nice meal to look forward to will make the week go by quicker

I don't really wanna stick my dick in "cute".

I was kind of quietly hoping there'd be a Mania patch that would fill in the missing story bits, but I guess that's not a thing? It's legit my only real complaint about the game.

>>186862704
I think people assumed the game wasn't finished with all the bugs people had been finding, but I guess they just aren't going to patch it unless it'll come simultaneously with the PC release, which is doubtful

It is pretty lazy to just give up on telling a story for half the game when they promoted that the level transitions were coming back. The game was even delayed already, what were they even doing the last few months?

>>186862682
A lot of guys do

>>186862829
Working on the game. They probably had no clue how much work the game was going to take and SEGA didn't want to give them any more extensions.

>>186863785
It was refreshing to hear Iizuka say that Mania has little cut content, but that kind of makes me think that the story really was tacked on because of the lack of cutscenes and the fact nobody has a real ending but Sonic in Egg Reverie. I guess the game was just envisioned as a Forces prequel and they let Headcannon and Pagoda West just do whatever else they wanted with it with what seems like little interference

>>186863063

and they belong in jail

>>186864421
On one hand Nakamura doesn't have to explain Classic Sonic showing up in Forces in as much detail, but on the other it makes Classic feel more tacked on than he already is.

>>186864421
I'm very glad they decided to delay it so they could get everything they wanted in the game. No cut levels and shit.

I believe they said at the panel the story went through multiple revisions, it's possible a Forces tie in was decided during one of them.

Organize certain games in a way that works best narratively, like Advance 1 before Adventure, Chronicles after Advance 3 and before '06, etc.

I've had ideas for writing lengthy Sonic fan fiction that's pretty much just the games together as one ongoing series, with 3 ""books"" based on the Eras, Genesis, Dreamcast, then that third unnamed Era that is no longer Modern, and the current Era. Era #3 would need a LOT of reorganizing and cleaning up. Sonic Chronicles would take place after Advance 3 and be the actual ending to the Dreamcast Era, and... I'm confused as to what to do with the Genesis Era after S3:K, cause of 4 and Mania and stuff.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Volume 0
See where it all started. The origins of the blue blur and the egg shaped doctor, and their very first battles.


Sonic the Hedgehog: Volume I - Genesis

Dr. Eggman is back and better than ever, trapping animals in robots, and he's after the mysterious Chaos Emeralds, to power something massive. Can Sonic stop him, with the help of his new friend, Tails?

Sonic the Hedgehog: Volume II - Dreamcast

After a long time since the last adventure, Sonic returns, but so has Eggman. The secrets of the Knuckles Clan are brought to life, as Eggman unleashes the god of destruction upon Station Square. And who is the mysterious Shadow?

Sonic the Hedgehog: Volume III -

It's the next generation of Sonic the Hedgehog, as he travels across time, dimensions, the entire globe, storybooks, and even alien planets. Join him as he meets new friends, rivals, and enemies from all over.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Volume IV -
The discovery of a lost continent brings deadly new threats to Sonic's World, and then, the impossible happens as Eggman...wins?! The stakes are at an all time high, as Sonic faces the greatest challenges of his life.

These are really sweet, anons. I'm glad that Sonic helped you.

As for me, mine is similar to Motivational anon and OVA anon. I try to internalize the positive things out of him and the series since it was the main non-human source of learning typical morals and themes such as friendship.

I felt that I can relate with the series being a general underdog/acquired taste.

Oh come now, even if you have your own personal opinions or let /v/ talk you out of anything you can't deny Nintendo still has other strong IP's which are alive like Donkey Kong, new one's Like Xenoblade or ones that can sell a console like Zelda. Heck they're even trying to revive their old IP's on their big systems like Metroid by pulling a SEGA where they appeal to their divided fanbase by giving each side a game similar to the Classic and Modern split with a classic remakes and new Prime.
>B-but SEGA made the best F-Zero game!

The new Donkey Kongs are good too, and X is just as good as GX. I just don't hold Nintendo in the same regards as Sega, Namco, Konami, Taito, etc. because of how they gave up on arcade games, and how most Nintendo franchises don't have any score attack gameplay and are just about reaching the ending and moving on to the next game.

From people at Gamescom right now, there's a second Avatar mode for Forces where you basically get assist abilities from Sonic's friends.

https://lets-plays.de/sonic-forces-auf-der-gamescom-angespielt-180282/

>In the second Avatar mode, exclusively presented at Gamescom, avatars and classic Sonic characters combine their forces, resulting in a completely new arsenal of moves and abilities.

>>186873275
FOUR gameplay styles? Good lord Sonic Team.

>>186873458
I'll take it over Wispons

>>186873458
It's basically the same as normal Avatar but with character assist abilities instead of Wispons.

>>186873275
it'll be like all those Generations Missions where you could press Y to summon Amy so she'd you hit with her hammer and shit

>>186873275
The more I hear about Forces the more I wonder whose idea started the whole thing. It's one thing for them to go for a darker tone for a boost game but Forces seems more like they're trying for storyfags, oc-fags, and multi-stylefags while not really completely going all in on any of them

>>186873706
>Press Y to make Vector blast shitty music through Buddy's headset and kill him instantly

>>186873908
Perhaps this is a test to see which elements are received well by the community. That's why they are casting such a broad net.

>>186874153
>normies say that classic sonic in forces is the best gameplay style because of mania's success

>>186874153
I wish I could be that optimistic. It feels more like they're throwing in everything that they've heard get positive remarks in the past without any regard to cohesion or polish.

>>186874153
>which elements are well recieved
I was going to post "they should know by now" but then I remembered Iizuka being surprised at how much praise and hype mania was getting.

>>186873706
If so, man, that's another thing recycled from Generations. This really doesn't seem like a game that got extra development time.

>>186874593
Or him being shocked at people screaming for the Chao Garden to come back

>>186873458
Assist abilities is not another gameplay style, it literally sound like how Gens handled it with missions.

No because there are zero Sonic games that meet all of those criteria.

>>186875309
No?

>>186874856
It is possible the game's budget is lacking, leading to them having to re-use certain assets. Remember, Forces was being made around the time SEGA was doing their restructuring.

>>186875153
That's awesome news!

>>186875624

You know it's kind of fucked up because Sonic 3 was so close to being finished before they had to release it

The Sonic 3 level select still has Flying Batter, Mushroom Valley/Hill and Sandopolis listed even though you can't access them. Which means the only thing missing in Sonic 3 was literally the climax of the game and they cut those zones to put in S&K for the game to feel like a full length adventure

Also why was it changed to Mushroom Hill?

>>186875793
probably just to make it feel more like a Zone 1 Stage like Green HILL and Emerald HILL

>>186875679
That's possible too.

>>186875309
No.

>>186875309
Nice try nerd.

Does this mean we'll get news today, or will that be on Thursday

>>186873275
>basically get assist abilities from Sonic's friends.
Oh boy, more Generations crap. What else is getting recycled?

>>186874856
They probably used that extra time to develop all these features instead of creating a central one to base the game on.

>>186873275
Does this mean Knuckles will replace the drill wisp?

>>186852557
They're fun when you get the hang of it and feel the least like a chore of all four special stages, when I go into or redo special stages in Mania I'm not like "Okay, let's get this shit over with" like in, say, Blue Balls, I'm more like "Alriiight, let's try this again!"

>>186875153
>giving a shit about what IGN has to say
really why does this matter

>>186878350
Neato. Any idea of what?

>>186878393
Because it's IGN giving Sonic any sort of praise, if they were shitting on it it would be another Tuesday, but them actually nominating it actually means something.

>>186878539
that they were paid to shill forces?

>>186878447
Unsure, but Famitsu will be streaming Forces with Shun Nakamura & the game will be playable at Gamescom.

>>186878447
It's almost like Forces leaving a good impression on IGN is good

>>186878623
More like now that Mania put Sonic in a good light it's no longer to cool to hate on the series for the time being.

>>186878623
If Sega really cared about getting shills IGN wouldn't be known for shitting on Sonic.

>>186879003
Don't worry Forces will come out and it'll be business as usual until whatever new 2D Classic game comes out in a few years. It's nice while it lasts, though.

>>186879003
Actually since Mania, the cool new meme is that "3D Sonic was never good!" instead of "Sonic was never good!" Forces getting positive praise like that is really good news.

>>186879176
Well, Forces is a 2D Sonic game anyways, so it's not like it's anything special

By the way, I remember playing a Genesis game where you controlled a bird trying to save other tiny birds, was it the same Flickies that appear in 3D Blast?

>>186884239
Yes, that game is called Flicky. I played that game alot back then too.

>>186884239
Not the same, but the blue Flicky is based on the Flicky game character.

>>186884239
Yeah, that game is called "Flicky" and is more specifically the origin of the blue birds from the Badniks in Sonic games proper, with the 3D Blast Flickies and later the Birdie Trio in Sonic Adventure being based on them.

Oh, my bad, anon. It's still cute. Hope you have fun buying more.

>>186884580
But why?

Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson is working on a official Sonic YT comedy. They already contracted Jaleel White for the voice of Classic Sonic.

>>186884220
Oh no, it's affecting you already anon!

>>186884673
The golden shield was cool, I don't get why they never used it again.

>>186884978
The idea of the golden shield giving Sonic a homing attack in 3D Blast was actually pretty cool.

>>186884898
I don't believe you.

So apparently the People Choice's award that Forces was nominated for is actually a popularity contest deal IGN is doing, where every game was up for nomination. Sadly it's not doing too well with only 33 votes while DBZ Fighters & some of the other major games of the year have far more votes.

>>186884898
Provide proof

>>186884978
Well, it became the Homing Attack.

Having it stay an itemized ability like the Elemental Shields would be a cool spin, though. Something to toggle in options like outta Sonic 3 Complete.

>>186885142
Good, FighterZ deserves it more. This isn't even up for debate.

>>186885209
Yeah from what I've seen, FighterZ looks pretty damn good. But hey, Forces does seem to be doing better than other games on the list, like Mario + Rabbids, MvCI, the new Fire Emblem, etc.

This

How do you avoid being hit by Heavy Magician during Titanic Monarch 2's boss? The rest of the fight is fairly simple, and you can outright avoid Launcher and Shinobi during their segments, but even when I hit Magician I get launched into the lasers.

>CP1 boss's stage curves at the edges so if you just hang out at the side and dodge all the attacks it launches you into the Mega Mack spheres when you jump
Fucking geniuses

This is not hot

>>186892950
Why have you muted the sound effects?

>>186895360
I just play without them because I enjoy listening to the music without bing bing wahoos interrupting it

>>186895559
Fair enough, I think the default SE volume is a bit too loud anyway.

>>186895559
There are in-game tracks with "bing bing wahoo" effects in almost every 2D Sonic

>>186895972
they're not really interrupting the music if they're a part of it, no?

>>186892950
Hydrocity is probably the weakest remixed level in Mania. Not because of "They hardly remixed it!" but because the additions they did make to the level didn't make it more fun or interesting, unlike the other levels

>>186896134
I largely agree with this. Unlike the other remixes where I was picking up elements from other Sonic stages, Hydrocity just felt like...more Hydrocity. Lava Reef had the same problem, which I hate since it's my favorite Genesis level.

>>186891121
Was this a graphical glitch or an actual colour choice?

>>186896134
Hydrocity definitely feels like it was added in at the last minute. Probably wasn't even in the game until after the delay to August was announced I bet.

Maybe they were reading all the threads here begging for Hydrocity to get in and caved in.

>expecting news of forces
>is just drop dash being available for Classic sonic

You're getting Forces news on Thursday, stupid

>>186896679
>Maybe they were reading all the threads here begging for Hydrocity to get in and caved in.
maybe the realized we'd have no Sonic 3 stage, again, for an anniversary title

So is rouge going to appear in forces?

>>186896875
Well there's confirmation of character's helping the Avatar in certain stages, similar to the co-op missions from Generations.

>>186897050
>two more days
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>186897242
Oh great! A character is gonna help me the moral way! Truly a bigg improvement over the other shit Mania got for cukin sake!

Would anyone be interested in reading my sonic hot springs fanfic?

>>186897695
Better be quite lewd. Link?

>>186897424
You sound off, like a Youtube character.

>>186897695
Maybe if it has interesting dialogue, character interactions and banter and isn't fap bait.

>>186896875
wasn't drop dash confirmed already?

not explicitly but they showed him using it multiple times in the classic sonic footage from forever ago

Would anyone be interested in being Amy's prison bitch?

>>186898160
>>186897942
It's not lewd. It's basically anime shenanigans where there's a guy who wants to sneak in on the girls and a poor sap who ends up being beaten by the girls.

More Forces Avatar gameplay info. A new weapon & a Tag Team level.

>>186898380
Me!

>>186898468
Okay. Where is it?

>>186898497
>ice hammer
What wisp is this? A fucking new one?

>>186898497
Boy I can't wait to play Sonic & You

>>186897695
I do

>>186898497
So wait, does this mean you only partner with Sonic?

>>186898497
>double boost will darken at the speed of light
That could be a neat gimick for a whole Sonic game. Get on it Sega, Sonic Light Speed, coming 2019.

>>186898497
>tag team stage
This is gonna be a mess.

>>186898497
I think these are all nice additions.

>>186898815
Probably yeah, but it was only one stage in the demo it seems. We'll have to wait for more info.

>>186898871
Eh, all depends on how it's handled.
