Sonic Mania

Last one was pretty damn comfy, so why not have another one? Tyson Hesse posted a cleaner version of the little animation form the end of the pre-order trailer:

What are the chances of a demo being put on online stores during E3? Also, Sonic 1 & 2 HD on Console/PC when?

Tyson Hesse making my favorite Sonic style canon again makes me happy.

We're probably not getting a demo until the game comes out, since they specifically went out of their way to spoil as little of the game as possible, so they can't risk repeating the same shit as the Generations demo data mining.

>Sonic 1 & 2 HD on Console/PC when?
I'm assuming that Sega doesn't see a point in this, since Mania features remixed stages from those games and is being developed by the same people.

The animation looks very, very jerky. Key poses don't naturally flow into each other, they quickly jerk into them. I'm hoping it's just because it is an unfinished product, not because it's Hesse's style. If it's smoothed out so the actions actually have some flow, the animation would be perfect.

WHERE'S SONIC ADVENTURE 3?

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

hopefully never

...

The art for this game is fucking crazy good.

Really puts Sonic """4""" to shame. Along with the rest of the game too of course.

thanks bubble shield guy

Considering Mario Odyssey is reviving the 3D platformer and Izuka is dead-set on making Sonic do whatever Mario does, it might not be long until Adventure 3.

really glad sonic 4 died off becuase of how shitty it was, but it was a nice concept.

Just doing my job.

It's good to see that Sonic's back to doing his as well: obeying the laws of physics.

havent seen this one yet
>hard dick

If there's a sequel, one addition that I REALLY want (even moreso than brand new levels) is more characters.

I'd love to see how some of the modern characters would work in the 2D gameplay, or have Vector and Espio control like they did in Chaotix.

Why do you always post the Bubble Shield one? Give the Electric Shield or Flame Shield some love also.

He's doing it to show off the physics, which have been a huge point of discussion/controversy in the modern 2D games

'06 was essential adventure 3 and it was a shitshow. the only good parts of the adventure games are the sonic and shadow levels.

Haven't saved them, but sure I'll do that.

Mario has better roll physics now.
Will SA3 finally have proper physics?

Only if Izuka gets fired and Whitehead becomes the new head of Sonic Team. Then he brings on the Utopia team.

generations felt really nice and had a good engine, but its levels worked differently from the adventure games. hopefully they can copy how adventure felt but make it not fucking jank

>Mario has better rolling phtsics than nu-Sonic Team's Sonic games
JUST

this looks really good, whats it from??

That's a great thing to show but this game has so much more to show off when than it's great physics.

Here, have a freshly made Flame Shield one then. There was already another one like this out there but this is higher res.

That's the GHP dev, though.

Generations had garbo physics, though.

This music is really bad and I can't really think about anything else to say.

It grew on me.

spindash here looks better than generations, where you were pretty much encouraged to skip most parts of the level with it.

Nice, saved both of them.

I saw it on /sthg/ a while back. They were going to make a fangame of their own.

Was it? Either way. Both made some stellar fangames.

im sorry

This game looks like a badly upscaled ROM hack. I don't think they bothered trying to rerender the tilesets, they just took them straight from the ROMs and ran them through a filter.

I usually encourage retro-style games like this, but this really does look like a shitty low-budget cash-in on Sonic nostalgia.

i like you

>that Splash Hill homage

Is that what it's supposed to be?
I thought for a moment that it could have been, but it was so short it could have just been coincidence.

Might as well dump some of my webms.

...

...

White Park act 2 had a reference to Twinkle Park's theme and it was just as short as this. I don't, I have severe doubts that it was just coincidence, since it sounds kinda out of place.

Has Chris said anything about Forces/Mania? It seems odd that he hasn't commented on them.

...

>Considering Mario Odyssey is reviving the 3D platformer
Not really. People want 2D Mario, not 3D Mario.

I'm really hoping that leaked glass cathedral zone is actually gonna be in the game. Looked really pretty.

No they don't. People want true 3D Mario. So far we keep getting 2D or "3D" (like 3D World where the levels are linear but you can move in three dimensions). People want something like 64 or Sunshine again, and it looks like Odyssey is not going to be like that. It has hub worlds, but inside the actual levels it looks like you just move in roughly one direction like 3D World.

So what's the deal with this game exactly?

Is it a Sonic Generations thing where there's just some levels from some Sonic games or is it a complete remake of the some Sonic games?

I wish there was more off the wall locations in the sonic games. Things like twinkle park and shamar etc. A church zone or a shopping mall etc, need to be done to. Tired of how homogenized sonic has been for years now

>People want true 3D Mario.
No, they don't. 3D Mario has never been a hardware mover. NSMBW outsold both Galaxies combined. NSMB fucking trounced SM64DS in sales.

3D Mario needs to die and Nintendo needs to go back to giving 2D Mario the care and attention it deserves.

Nintendo is the house that Mario built, and it was 2D Mario that did all of the building.

Brand new game.
You know how sometimes you revisit levels from an earlier game in a series but they're different because time has passed or you're in a different part of the area?
That's how the retro stages work and there's plenty of new ones to go around.

Think of it as the Sonic 4 we should have gotten. If you're pedantic about numbers it could be Sonic 5.

New game. You revisit some areas due to "plot" but they're heavily remixed.

It's a new game featuring a mix of remixed zones with new level layout, items, mechanics & etc. and also completely new zones. Read this image for more information on the game.

It's basically an ascended fangame headed by a man that created a Sonic physics engine himself that's 1:1 with the original games. It has levels from the old games because of Iizuka wanting them in, otherwise it would've been completely original.

Oh ok, nice.

I'll probably buy it then.

It's a new 2D Sonic made by fangame developers who know the physics and gameplay of Classic Sonic better than Sonic Team. It has brand new zones and remixed zones from older games with completely new layouts and gimmicks.

It's cause it's been sucking Mario's dick recently with the basic Desert/Lava/Beach/Ice level design.

It's also only $20 so that's a plus.

Yeah, its boring as shit. I havent much of sonic anything since 2010, when iizuka started making the series just a mario-lite. Only good part of colors was the new themes, generations was short, bland, and rushed. Lost world and boom, abysmal. I think mania is the first sonic game i'm buying at launch since unleashed. Or do the all star racing games count as sonic games?

Hey, they added Splats to the garbage heap.

Mania having a movie-making themed city and indian/saloon themed desert is a point in the right direction. And at least they're trying their hardest in making the returning zones different enough from their original counterparts.

I didn't even notice that, nice touch.

>Just doing my job

Fucking shill I swear

Those physics are making me fucking wet

I don't see why it wouldn't, I mean they used it on a poster about two weeks ago.

>that guy who argued that more frames of animation is bad

god

And that faggot is the one who dropped animation for shitty let's plays while being terrible at vidya.

If only every shill was this chill.
I guess that's what happens when the game they're shilling looks so good they don't even have to sell it.

I can only assume you guys are referring to Egoraptor, but there's a bunch of retards out there so there's a good chance I'm wrong.

>that Chaotix featuring Knuckles the echidna. Welcome to the next level in 32x world style blue ring monitor and giant rings when you get hit
Now they need to remix door into summer

At least I was, not sure about the other user though.

Yeah those are cool. I almost was going to wait for a sale to get mania upon seeing that it was using green hill and other old levels again. But when i saw green hill 2, it looked different enough to be acceptable and it just looks so fun. And its only $20, so fucking cheap. The price and green hill 2 being just different enough swayed me over. Still, I would like to get another massive 3D adventure like sonic unleashed was though, with a big story, new character and gameplay etc. I like the 2D sonic games but have always preferred the 3D ones

...

You know what just hit me? There's more than one destroyed moniter sprite so they don't all look the same after you wreck them.
The attention to detail in this game is unreal.

I don't know about that other user but someone argued that sonic 4 opening sonic thing looked better in a thread

If Forces sells enough, maybe?

I love the way the gun spins around

Ho' shit

Forces just looks like generations 2. Something radical must have happened to sonic team in 2010 because that was around the time I couldnt enjoy their games anymore. I'll just hold out for mania and its inevitable sequels, and hopefully more sonic racing games because those were great

You can basically blame everything on Iizuka.

What the fuck? I never noticed that. Here's another cool small detail they added.

thats fucking sexy

That's such great autistic attention to deal.

Reminder that stage is basically born from a mock up screenshot from sonic 2 stage called dust hill zone

It might just be that, mr takashi iizuka. I dont want to hate him because hes made games ive enjoyed but maybe he has just gone senile or run out of ideas now. But of course japanese business pride will secure his spot

>people want 2D Mario, not 3D Mario
maybe on planet idiot

i cannot believe everyone i've seen on the internet praising this animation as "the sonic we love is back"

this is and awful micky mouse characterization that completley fails to capture the character of sonic.

it's just sarcastic cutesy LA art schoool adventure time bullshit. what an awful animation

I'm just stunned that we've gone 75+ posts in a Sonic thread, and the first result for "autism" is in a positive context.

Do you think the Father of Sonic, Keiji Inafune should develop the next game?

(You)

What else can be said, people are super excited for this game.

He can go jack off into a Beck body pillow and choke on it

I wonder if Megaman fans felt this exited when Megaman 9 was announced.

>CWC has moved on from sonic because it's a kids game
>you still haven't

time to neck myself

Chris just wrote another chapter to Sonichu recently.
I'm pretty sure he's not over it, it's just that he doesn't really have the free time he used to now that life is catching up to him.

I just see a red circle on a background. The fuck am I looking at? They copied a brown hill shape?

They added little waterfalls to the bits of the mountain that were missing in the original game.

Great job shitting in a decent thread
