>spoiling
>a sonic game

are you fucking kidding me? be serious

>3K
Why are people on here combining 3 with S&K? They're two seperate games.

Reminder that CD is better than 3K. Get over it.

We're off to a great start boys

who here /gonna pirate/?
I like Sonic but not enough to pay

Why isn't this in Mania?

This thread's off to a fantastic start!

if you enjoy the game consider buying it siliconera.com/2017/07/06/sonic-manias-reception-will-help-sega-figure-direction-future-sonic-titles/

You don't deserve Mania. Conversely, Mania deserves your money.

If there was any justice in this world, you would be paying for Mania, and never be able to play it.

...

What if it is

It's 20 fucking dollars, user

SONIC DIES IN THE END

but angel island is in the sky now

...

Wait, there are actually people that think CD is better than 3K?

Needs DA Garden's Little Planet

WHY ISN'T CASINO NIGHT IN SONIC MANIA? ARGH, I'M SO FUCKING ANGRY. EVERYDAY I PLAY SONIC 2 AND WHEN I GET TO THAT LEVEL, I FEEL LIKE I'VE TAKEN ECSTASY. WHY DID WE GET THAT PIECE OF SHIT STAGE CHEMICAL PLANT INSTEAD?

...

>spoiling a sonic game
>a real issue

I am absolutely loving Chemical Plant Act 2.
I don't really like the Speed Shoes theme. I kinda prefer when they just sped up the Zone theme, but I can understand how that wouldn't work well now.

You really gotta wonder how sonic always manages to lose the emeralds in alternate dimensions.

Really?

Casino Night's in Sonic 4

Fuck yourself OP you pussy. People are allowed to argue over what they dislike. Fuck off with this "acting like a parent" mediator shit. Kys

Wow it's almost like you can spoil things besides plot, like secrets, gameplay mechanics, bosses, and other things that maybe possibly might just be more fun to discover for yourself.

If a Sonic Mania 2 was made, would you still want to see classic levels return?

YES REALLY. STUDIOPOLIS IS NOT THE CASINO STAGE. IT'S JUST SOME FANCY LIGHTS AND BULLSHIT. I WANT MY SLOT MACHINES. I WANT MY FUCKING BUMPERS.
SONIC 4 IS NOT A REAL SONIC GAME

Add this.

no

Generations 3DS

Sonic 1 ending pretty much establishes that they just leave after their job is done

So would you say Carnival night is a casino stage then?

you forgot sonic's face island

Curious question -- anyone know when the review embargo ends?

I'm still gonna buy it myself, but just have a bit of curiosity on that front.

Also, how well do think critics will rate it?

...

Real reviewers will like it

'Professional reviewers' won't beat it and either say it's good but nothing special or it's shit because they suck at it

>Curious question -- anyone know when the review embargo ends?
no

>Also, how well do think critics will rate it?
terribly

>how well do think critics will rate it?
Poorly. Gaming journalism is a sham.

would unironically like this

NO. CARNIVAL NIGHT DOES NOT HAVE THE SLOT MACHINES. I WANT THE SLOT MACHINES
>386189606
was the 3DS one a real stage? I know the console version had casino night DLC but it was just a pinball stage

>was the 3DS one a real stage?
Yes, it also had a rival battle with Metal Sonic in the zone.

less than 10 in some countries

The desert stage is basically your casino then user!

I hope they review it nicely, then again I'm just expecting a "darksouls' scenario.

Because Dimps are hacks it's just the first act of Casino Night redone in 3D. Act 2 with Modern is new gimmicks and shit. You can tell they only know how to make Rush/Boost games nowadays

>Also, how well do think critics will rate it?
The lowest we're getting on Metacritic is a 80 I feel.

Man I really wish we'd get another racing game with Sonic on foot. The concept is right there in these special stages. Just head forward, make turns, jump around, and collect spheres to speed up

Me.

its not even a full price game user, dont be a shit

Man I wish Mania had the 8 run from CD

or at least the look up -> SPEED

You're all so fucking pathetic.

Ikr? With these special stages and robotniks mean bean returning I think the dev crew is hitting all the gameplay points they can if Sega picks them up for another project.

I pirate a lot of games and I was contemplating doing the same here, but I really wanna play this. I don't wanna wait a whole week or two until a crack comes out

I have no idea why they didn't bring the Mobius Strip back, the Sonic 2 beta run looks like shit

reminder that Sonic CD has fucking atrocious level design, see webm related and try to fucking defend it, you sick hedgehog lover..

Sorry I'm sometimes alone on fridays, I'm going to cedar point tomorrow with some friends does that count?

Its shitty but you just follow the pipe user. I bet the carnival barrel fucked you too!

>Story is the only thing that can be spoiled.
They're two halves of one, faggot.

This shit pissed me off so much. I had to fucking look at a map of the stage just to figure this out. Who made this?

Now I personally like CD, but Wacky Workbench as a whole can go fuck itself

Infinite is energy source

twitter.com/bradflick55/status/893214258778882048

I think this is a hint.

Gee user,I cant get in this room as the door switch is inside and there is a open pipe. I wonder how to get in!

friday already? I thought it was Tuesday

Is there any reason to hunt down the generators instead of just getting the Time Stones?

Love how people get so buttblasted when anybody mentions they gonna pirate it, makes me wanna do it even more

Can you do some generators and do some Time stones? I guess it allows a Sonic 1 fan to just do the usual method to complete the game

lol

Where the fuck is the pipe opening?

It's not in a goddamn crusher where the rest of them will kill you in the game, right? Fuck Wacky Workbench and fuck you for defending it, the barrel isn't that inane in comparison

That'd be kinda cool. I like when games interconnect like that.

3&K > 1 > CD > 2

The UFO stages are annoying. Sonic's handling is too shitty considering you have to make quick, calculated jumps and turns

...

It destroys all enemies in that act making the level easier. Also you get to see the Good Future for some bosses since you can only get all the Time Stones by a certain point.

I don't know user, have you tried to maybe... GIT GUD?

good future playtrought

looks like any other sonic game to me

When you think about it, Sonic CD is kinda like Sonic Adventure 2. As in, neither are particularly very good games objectively speaking, but they're both really memorable in their own rights, which is why they manage to resonate with a lot of people despite being heavily flawed.

With SA2, of course everyone remembers City Escape, E.G.G.M.A.N, Pumpkin Hill, the Knuckles rap songs, Live and Learn, FAKER, the Chao Gardens, etc. Likewise with Sonic CD, everyone remembers how it introduced Metal Sonic and Army, its crazy and off the wall level design/soundtrack/art direction in comparison to the other games, the animated cutscenes at the beginning and the end, and of course, Sonic Boom.

Fuck you, I'll spoil shit if I want.

>Miles Prower = Miles Per Hour
>Robotnik is actually Eggman
>Robotic enemies are powered by woodland creatures being used as matrix-style bio batteries
>Tales can fly
>Starlight Zone BGM is one of the best songs ever to come out of a Genesis

Hey I heard theres an imgur with a ton of sonic art like the one you uploaded? Can I get a sauce

...

>When you think about it, Sonic CD is kinda like Sonic Adventure 2. As in, neither are particularly very good games objectively speaking
CD is a particularly very good game though.

God fucking damnit
My PC's been on life support lately, but i just found out it's the GPU and without it my PC's a-okay
What are the odds i'll actually manage to run Mania withtout a GPU? Surely my 8GB RAM will make up for it right??

How do you enjoy Sonic CD's shit levels?

Or you could practice for a whole 15 minutes.

Anyone in this thread own this figure?

...

Reminder you get Medallions from the Blue Sphere Bonus Stages:
siliconera.com/2017/08/03/watch-sonic-manias-bonus-stages-special-stages-time-attack-new-trailer/

Reminder there will only be Blue Spheres for the Bonus Stages:

And reminder we might be getting 1 more song next week:
youtu.be/q23cNxnnaPw?t=737 (12:17)

I really need to add this to that big image.

Amy confirmed?

Not Imgur, but here's a link to Sonic Retro, featuring all those drawings
info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_The_Screen_Saver

How do they keep doing it? How are there so many video game journalists just purposefully gettung blatant details wrong?

They also got many, MANY people thinking Chemical --Factory-- zone was a thing. This despite the word Plant being written out on the level's namecard at the beginning of the footage they were sent.

>woodland creatures
Explain how "woodland" creatures managed to fix Sonic's plane

Because I'm not severely mentally retarded, so I explore them for Past signs, time travel spots, and generators.

Who else is getting the game on switch?

I don't trust that motherfucker Tails with children. Not after what I saw.

Wonder what they do.

>I really need to add this to that big image.
Do it.

can anyone expalin the time travel mechanic in cd to me? how long do sparkles last after going by sign, is there any point in ever going to the future, etc
