Sonic was never good

I want to suck this game's dick & still need my Hydrocity Zone.

good was never Sonic

>remember I have Sonic 2 on the Gems collection for my Gamecube
>Start it up and see its the Game Gear version

>SADX is a port of SA1 on DC with a bunch of changes and shit, fine (IIRC, SADX PC is a port of SADX GC, but I dunno)
>they port that to 360
>then they port that back to PC for some fucking reason

Sega should get those modders to work on a better SA port. What kind of name is "Sonic Adventure Deluxe - Director's Cut," anyway?

GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Dont know why people are so meh'd by this, it sounds so fucking cool.

PHYSICAL

RELEASE

WHEN

so it's a CD style special stage? shame, I was hoping for the blue balls to return

:)

NEVERU EVER GAIJIN
PAY 60$ FOR MY EDGY OC SIMULATOR

At least the blue balls are still there. This special stage looks like a cross between CD and Heroes to me.

Gems Collection was a disappointment and the only good games there were Sonic CD, Sonic Championship (the Fighters) and a few unlockable Genesis games like Vectorman 1 and 2, Streets of Rage and that's all.

...

BLUE SPHERES user. Now you got me thinking about Sonic's nuts

Gems Collection in general mostly focused on the 8-bit titles & a few others only found on Sega CD, the Arcade & Saturn. If you want the Genesis games play Mega Collection (or just emulate them nowa days, preference Taxman's version of them on Bluestacks). Also you may be thinking of the Museum which had timed demos of the Genesis games including Sonic 2.

MANIA IS TRULY THE SATURN GAME PEOPLE BOUGHT SATURNS FOR ALL THOSE YEARS AGO

I made that into a wallpaper a while back.

It's meh. I don't really like it, you know?
It sounds too.. electronic. I prefer it when music has a hard hitting bass and percussion with heavy hip hop/rnb influence like S3k. I wish these fags made it more like S3k and not weird ass CD

fpwp

Well actually 3D was all the craze back then so people bought a Saturn for a 3D Sonic game.

Although considering SotN's success, they probably would have been just as happy with Mania.

This is where my pasta actually makes fucking sense.
Daily reminder that if you hate Tee's creations that instantly transforms you into a motherfucking contrarian and plebeian faggot.

west post

A lot of the Mania music leans a little harder into electronic than i'd like, but it still sounds incredible. I get that that's Tee Lopes strength, but I do agree that i'd love some S3&K style tracks, but that's what the remixed stages are for.

>we'll never get the 3rd issue
this is why we cannot have nice things

MANIA REAM

YOU ROP IT

YOU MAKE MY RAME ROOK BAD

MANIA REAM

DING DONG BAN U

I prefer CD's OST & style overall but I do prefer the Special Stage music for 1 and 3&K compared to it & this.

Another Sonic thread? Another Sonic thread.

You guys are the reason I keep coming back on Sup Forums.

>mania removed the w rotation attack
it's not fair bros

as someone who loves s3k, the instashield is pretty casualizing imo

A few months after release, after the bulk of the digital sales have dried up, they will release a physical version with the remasters bundled in for $40.

Nice, I will take it

You guys think that Iizuka would bring the Mania team onboard for all Classic Sonic segments of future Modern Sonic games? That'd force us to buy whatever game Iizuka makes to get to Whitehead and Stealth's goodness. How would you guys feel about that?

We might in 2018, I think it's actually finished too it just has to get out there some how

>that amazing feeling when you master the w rotation attack
It's so good, I'm gonna miss it

mania brought a lot of positivity here to people who care, there is a good atmosphere here since it's not the usual shitflinging
I'm kinda sad because I really like the stunts you could do with the i-frames. But the extra range was a bit too abusable and I want to see how the drop dash works with sonic momentum

Unlockable Amy has it, she just does it with her hammer.

At least now we can try to master the drop dash

ROSY IS BACK

Well I really like Sonic the fighters and Sonic CD, so honestly for me it was alright. For the most part I just saw it as a way to play Sonic CD without having to buy a Sega CD.

I can forgive it for being a little sparse because it introduced me to this wonderful title

I'm still not sold on the drop dash. Spin dash already took much of the skill requirement out of going fast and drop dash just seems to casualize it further. It's inching closer and closer to Rush-style boost.

>Comic is back
>video game is back
>Canned furry is back
What else do we need? Tv Show?

If Stealth and Taxman ended up as permanent Sega assets, you bet your fucking ass I'll be buying whatever they're involved with because they know better than Sega does regarding what Classic Sonic needs. And if Classic Sonic is to become a staple, then all the more reason it would be beneficial to Sega to absorb them into their workflow.

Yeah the new threads are great, Anons helped each other improve at the classics, explained why the classics were good without insults, and even gifted Mania pre-orders to poor Anons. These threads are magical.

WHO IN HERE

>PREORDERED ON THE GAME
>PREORDERED ON THE SOUNDTRACK

SHOW ME YOUR HYPE

>Canned furry is back
Where?

>Canned furry is back
What did he meme by this?

>A Sonic TV series in the style of Mania's pre-order trailer & opening.
Never ever.

Daily reminder that time is moving slower and will start to reverse in the next few days

It will be June again soon

not yet
but soon

PLAYABLE AMY FUCKING WHEN

I remember reading that the amount of forward momentum depends on your total air momentum, so you cannot use as an instant spin dash.
I don't think that Tax&Stealth would ever implement an instantaneous air spindash

this. give us music that bumps not this ultra fast crap we've been getting.

I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition but there's no way I can get the vinyl, I'm broke as fuck sadly.

I preoredered on PS4 and got
some themes/avatars. It sucks that the themes have no music.

INSTA-SHIELD ROSY FUCKING SHIT UP. SHE AIN'T THAT FAST BUT WATCH HER WRECK EVERYTHING IN SIGHT WITH HER INVINCIBILITY FRAMES OF FURY

>Going to Japan in 3 days
>will wait patiently in comfy Tokyo

It will be fine

I DIDN'T PREORDER THE GAME BECAUSE I AM GOING TO BUY DAY ONE AT FULL PRICE.
I AM NOT GETTING THE OST BECAUSE I DON'T SUPPORT THE VINYL MEME BUT I'LL GLADLY TAKE A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

Any pictures of the themes and avatars?

1fags always acting like the spindash took the difficulty out of an already easy series is funny shit to me.

Theme kinda sucks desu

And you will wake up tomorrow and it will be 4 days till you leave

Time distortion is a crazy thing

>tfw a mediocre fan game has a better OST than Mania
youtube.com/watch?v=E_ZOnN3VndI
What went wrong?

except metal sonic

I prefer silent themes.

Are they any good? I was considering double dipping and then just gifting my extra ps4 code to someone else.

Probably someone on Sup Forums

youtu.be/_JXXv6XX8fA

delet

>implying

Compare a 1 year WIP game to something whose development was like 10 years. That being said, I still think Mania has a better OST.

What do I need to do?

...

>Doesn't support the vinyl meme
>Will miss out out on the high production sleeves with awesome art

Unfortunate

I'd be fine with it, I like Modern Sonic's boost formula so perfecting Classic and keeping them as a package would suit me fine.

That's not a bad track or anything but I don't think it's nearly as good as Tee's stuff on Mania so far.

>I DON'T SUPPORT THE VINYL MEME
it ain't a meme if it's a fact

BROS
BROS
BROS

>implying

Hang out around launch and make me laff.

But moneys is a bit short so I'm not sure if I'm going to double dip or not. Although I'm sure other anons will be gifting as well

As much as I love this song, best Special Stage theme coming through.

>Digital soundtrack
>Vinyl
?

I know it was already posted but just too excited

If you buy it you're provided with a lossy and lossless version digitally

That honestly makes more sense than having two series going at once. It gives Sonic Team more time to focus on improving the boost formula too.

Yep, got both. Thinking about getting that 25th anniversary art book as well

That's what I'm hoping. I haven't played the game so I'm just going by footage. It looks OP but if it's like you say it'll be fine.

If anything I'm a 3&Kfag. 1 is definitely the hardest though. That's mostly due to more demanding platforming than the spin dash though. But there's no debate that in 1 you need to actually build up speed, where in the sequels it's just hold down and press jump.

They should just keep them seperate. 2D games by Taxman and friends, 3D boost games by Sonic Team.

And the art book too

Who in here

>Low price

Been preordered since December of last year

Sonic 3D Blast on the Saturn has a god tier OST. This is the most chill song I've ever heard in vidya
youtu.be/9SoTm7jPNoA:

I can't imagine what it would feel like to just be a fan of a game series for the longest time and suddenly have a company contacting you and bunch of other people like you to get together and make a game.

I went with Switch, so just the Prime discount, still, pretty hyped.

Listen you annoying Tom posting avatarfag, nobody thinks you're funny you autistic shit. Get the fuck out of these threads you embarrassment.

Taxman reached out to Sega though, with a Sonic CD pitch video, this has just been years of building trust.

It's got a great OST, as does the Genesis one. I like how they took completely different approaches. Genesis OST fits right in with the other Genesis games, where Saturn is less traditional but fits the slower, more exploration-heavy gameplay better.

I don't see the appeal to this CE.

A bunch of useless trinkets not directly related to the game. If it had a a soundtrack or an artbook maybe I'd be hype, but it doesn't have shit.

youtube.com/watch?v=fjzNVuQV0UA
honestly how the fuck did i not notice this before

Who here's just getting the standard game and nothing else

Reminder this happened during development.

Listen, I never thought of these posts to be funny. It's just my way to tell the people who hate the soundtrack to fuck off.

If it had a physical copy of the game I would have gotten it. But the stuff it has doesn't interest me.
