It undersells because Sega priced it too low (and people diss it because of it) and we never get a sequel.
This is likely. Sega won't advertise it properly and when it fails
HA, WE TOLD YOU YOU DIDN'T WANT 2D SONIC!
*greenlights a forces sequel*
GO THROUGH THE LOOP YOU DUMB FUC
...
>no advertise
>japan trains
>internet hype
That's enough. The only problem is Mania coming in the same year as Forces, but at least is not in the same time as Odissey and x-mas season
Internet hype isn't enough, this doesn't have a physical remember, that alone will make Forces destroy it in sales. How on earth this isn't on the front page of preorder sales on gaming sites and the such, and online console stores, hopefully they pop up on release
boost games have been selling lower and lower consistently and mania has sold out on pre-orders multiple times on various things. mania has it in the bag
I NEED LEAKS, WHERE ARE THEM
I already gave up hype after seeing and learning about the hard boiled heavies, yet again, something betrays eggman and is the real threat. I had faith in Taxman but it seems Sega forced him to ruin this game.
Wait, what?
>yet again, something betrays eggman and is the real threat
What the fuck are you talking about? The heavies are clearly just Eggman's henchmen. Where did you get this from?
So I just realized that the only 2 zones with confirmed Hard-Boiled Heavies are Studiopolis Zone and Mirage Saloon Zone. Will they be exclusive to the new zones (and would that mean that there's 7 of them)
Nah, they're Eggman's Koopalings.
>Will they be exclusive to the new zones (and would that mean that there's 7 of them)
>7 of them
There only appear to be 5 heavies in the silhouette, but yeah, all signs point towards the heavies being new-zone-exclusive.
My guess is that there's 5 heavy zones, 7 or 8 revamp zones, and then 1 brand new final zone against Eggman himself (plus any half/single-act-zones they might choose to pull - see Sky Chase, Doomsday, etc). Seems like a pretty reasonable guess from what I can see.
There was some moonspeak text translated into english and it revealed the plot point that the heavies turn on eggman, and become something that he can't control. I don't know where that fucking link is though. it's there somewhere.
sonic.wikia.com
>They work in private, but appear in front of Sonic many times over the course of his adventure. However, this evil group eventually evolves into something even Eggman could not predict.
Nowhere says they betray Eggman.
>However, this evil group eventually evolves into something even Eggman could not predict.
>Nowhere says they betray Eggman.
That clearly means betrayal user. just like chaos, shadow,rogue, omega, dark gaia, the deadly six and metal sonic. God forbit for once, for fucking once eggman is the threat like he's suppose to be.
Nope, not that one. Wish I saved it now, damn it. Was a completely diff official wiki site I think..?
were the fuck is that user that showed us it all in the last thread
>sonic.wikia.com
>evolves into something even eggman could not predict
That is exactly the definition of betrayal
There are five Hard Boiled Heavies.
>Heavy Gunner (Studiopolis)
>Super hero themed robo (Mirage Saloon)
>Ninja robo
>Mace/medieval robo
>Top hat magician robo
And yes, they appear exclusive to new zones. This means five new zones.
>Eggman
>threat
>OCs are okay as long as they're robots
Maniafags are always hypocrites.
>What could possibly go wrong?
*blocks ur path to GOTY*
>Using Sonic Wikia
>Ever
First of all, that's some gay nigga shit
Secondly, "evolving into something Eggman could not predict" doesn't mean betrayal. Since when did evolution equal disloyalty? That's a big stretch. I mean hell, Eggrobo "evolved into something Eggman [didn't] predict" in S3K when he survived Sky Sanctuary's destruction and went solo in Knuckles's campaign, but that doesn't mean he was in any way opposed to Eggman.
It could imply they simply become more dangerous than Eggman originally programmed them to be. Like Mecha Sonic going super in S3&K; I don't think he planned that at all
Don't forget the final zone will probably be new. So maybe 6 new zones?
Yeah true.
Boss: R9 Final Fever
>Still gets OHKOed by Mecha Sonic
If there are 6 new zones, then 15 total will fit the 40:60 ratio of new to remixed zones perfectly.. Hmm
is this assuming every game double dips?
Don't jinx it
Yup
Green Hill
double dip zone
Chemical Plant
double dip zone
Flying Battery
double dip zone
Sonic 3 zone [not revealed yet]
double dip zone
Stardust Speedway
double dip zone
Mirage Saloon
Studiopolis
new zone
new zone
leaked cathedral zone
new final zone
Maybe sonic CD won't double dip. Seeing as it wasn't included on the elavator
CD probably only have Stardust Speedway because the need to incorporate all timezones.
>However, this evil group eventually evolves into something even Eggman could not predict.
D E N I A L
>double dip fags
idiots, they're gonna use game gear levels
post yfw they had extra dev time from the delay and end up adding a Chaotix level
>themed bosses are a problem
Yeah fuck sonic 2 and 3 for giving Eggman different machines to fight with.
>mfw the chaotix level is the special stages of Mania
Would rather a redone Egg Rocket Zone or Game Gear stages.
>Implying Iizuka will let them acknowledge Chaotix or the Game Gear so directly
The blue ring monitors are one thing, but they sure as fuck won't be putting Botanic Base or Sunset Park in Mania. It's way too good of an idea for Iizuka to allow it. Hell, as far as Iizuka is concerned, Chaotix is completely non-canon anyway and it wouldn't surprise me if he outright doesn't even know the Game Gear games ever existed. He's surprisingly in-the-dark about many things that most fans would consider to be common knowledge.
Pretty reasonable and likely
But this is the Mania dimension (going by the Forces connection theory, anyway), so it could be canon in that dimension.
I really wouldn't read too much into that dimension shit considering Forces isn't even out yet. My point was less about the canon status of Chaotix and more about the fact that Iizuka doesn't really seem to respect Chaotix or the handheld games all that much. To use roster-autist terms, if the Mania team suggested something like Marina Madness over something more traditional like Lava Reef, I imagine Iizuka would brush the idea off as being a "waste of a slot".
>I really wouldn't read too much into that dimension shit considering Forces isn't even out yet
I mean, Eggman flat out says it
>Taxman makes a sample level of a Mania Chaotix level, but calls it an original level
>Iizuka just goes "ah very nice gorgeous level, keep going" without recognizing it
>Mania teams face when they slip in a Chaotix level because it's that obscure
Perhaps they'll add a level from the Master System like Bridge or Jungle. Those two are pretty unique in the franchise mechanics-wise given that one have an automatic scrolling and the other have a mainly vertical level.
Are you fucking stupid lol
>I mean, Eggman flat out says it
But we don't know the plot of the game overall. It could well be that classic Sonic is referred to as being from another dimension because of some kind of time-split that has occurred (after all, they've not gone into detail about how Eggman took over in the first place) and Classic is from the original timeline. It really is up in the air at the moment. But again, the canon status of Chaotix was never really the main point in the first place.
Why does Iizuka hate the super emeralds?
>However, this evil group eventually evolves into something even Eggman could not predict.
the Hard Boiled Heavies cause Sonic to end up in Forces at the end of the game, calling it now.
Mania sequel involves Sonic coming back from the Forces hellhole and getting rid of the HBHs
Because he wanted to avoid a DBZ-esque situation of power creep
>iizuka in the back when he realizes what they've done
Because they were never meant to canonically exist in the first place and were merely a band-aid to the "splitting Sonic 3 in two" problem
actually the opposite
according to his revised "canon" only male hedgehogs can into super
they're basically midget furry saiyans
There are clearly 6 robots there
It's five.
The part just to the left of the gunner is the cape of the middle guy, not it's own heavy.
can someone post the video source to that webum?
No shit? Welp.
I'd always heard that as WORK THAT FLABBY BITCH COME ON NOW WORK THAT FLABBY BITCH
>people honestly care about the story in a 2d sonic game
>HUURR DUUURR LE AUTISTS HAHAHAHAHAHA AREN'T I LE FANNY GUIZE??? XXDDD
Seething
>journalist has to actually ask the guy running the booth how to spindash
that webm pisses me off please delete
I need some romhack recommendations. I've been playing Sonic 1 Megamix and it's a decent time.
So Marble Garden has a chance if they double dip, right?
Play Sonic VR if you want pure good level design.
Most things point towards Hydrocity and Azure Lake. But I'd rather have Chrome Gadget or Endless Mine.
Considering their original plans for Sonic 3 Remastered to include Sonic 3 2P zones, I'm hoping that the potential Sonic 3 choice would be Hydrocity with a double-dip of Chrome Gadget.
Unlikely, but it'd be sweet as shit.
>Most things point towards Hydrocity and Azure Lake
What exactly points to Azure Lake? I'd love to see it but that sounds like some real wishful thinking without much in the way of meaningful proof to back it up
....
Canon ending of Mania, you defeat the boss, but woaowahwah twist, as sonic runs off, robot is still alive, goes off screen, somehow time is involved, it sends them into the future, everything is all fucked up.
leads into this
youtube.com
Now look at what those hard boiled heavies have turned into. also would explain classic being able to drop dash in Forces.
Ohhhh noooooooooooooooooo
OHHHH NO...............
Iizuka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't one of the things with Forces that Tails never met Sonic because time travel bullshit, and it undoes all of Classic Sonic's victories? I have a hard time believing Mania will connect to Forces if that's the case.
They said they wanted to make a full level out of it, that's why you see Azura Lake pop up more often than the other 2P stages.
I'd say Labyrinth but that's just me
I know that Taxman and friends wanted to make full versions of ALL the 2P zones when they pitched Sonic 3 Remastered, but I've never heard anything specifically reference Azure Lake over the other ones. In fact the only mockup we've seen of any of them was a full-sized Balloon Park
...
Where's Sonic 4?
Probably didn't happen in the Mania dimension.
In the regular dimension, some time before Adventure.
...
People keep joking about this but I'm not totally convinced Iizuka isn't stupid enough to try something like that. The backlash shitstorm would be biblical.
I pre-ordered on PSN but didn't get the avatars it said came with it. Did something fuck up, or do I not get them until release day?
Happend with me aswell, you'll get them on release date, don't worry.
>you'll get them on release date, don't worry.
You sure about that? I preordered on psn and got the themes and avatars immediately.
youtube.com
Something like this will happen, expect a merge of Mania and Forces. The game will be amazing, but that'll be how it fucks itself over. lizuka strikes again.
It happens sometimes. Got my Crash themes and stuff insta but not Mania. Believe you can call psn support about it.
I'm getting a -little- salty Mania isn't being advertised on the psn store and it's under a month away. What the fuck are Sony/Sega doing? Maybe we need to wait a bit longer for it to be up front and centre?
same goes with switch/xbox one, I want this shit plastered everywhere. If we ain't getting a physical, this thing needs to be advertised
Sega didn't push ads for the first sonic game until weeks before the game came out. The Taxman is a super autist who also knows about that fact and could probably get sega to pull that again
bump
>playing CD's time trials
>mfw collision FUCKING chaos
this many springs and bumpers should be fucking ILLEGAL
Collision Chaos Act.3 is the best to speedrun at least.
IIZUKAAAAAA
10/10 level design
...
Really generates the mind-sweepers.
Once revealed, will any of these be waifuable?
If one of them isn't atleast designed as a female of some kind, yes I realise its a robot shut the fuck up, I want a cute robot waifu, i'll be disappointed
Would YOU waifu an Eggrobo?
Pretty sure that one with the star is a waifu.
