>tfw the master race has to wait for the GOTY

Delicious salt. Glad I double-dipped.

how would it? and I think the publisher logic is:
>let's delay the game on the definitive platform so that desperatefags will buy the game twice

we've seen that with Dark Souls 2, and this game definetly doesn't need optimization, it's a 2D sprite game with low resolution, for fuck's sake

then again, we've seen TETRIS run like absolute shit on the PS4, so nothing would surprise me

>literally two weeks apart

While it's really a small time frame, I don't see any reason for this to happen other than for Sega to keep up their "oh looks like consoles ARE more profitable after all, sorry PC!" mentality to excuse them from putting a game that was made in the current decade.

The review copies on pc are out there, I bet some one leaks, scream cap this

The fact that they waited until less than a week before launch to announce the delay is a slap in the face to pc fans

this

Ah ha ha ha ha ha.

And this is after Sega saying that PC is their most profitable platform. With them constantly shooting down the notion of games like Yakuza coming to PC, while delaying literal fucking pixel games for no real reason, and ONLY giving PC ports of decades old games, Sega is really on par with WB. Actually, WB can be excused, Sega has literally nothing to stand on.

>Sega is really on par with WB.
WB is mildly good intentioned retarded, otherwise they wouldn't have fixed AK and MKX PC ports

let's face it, anything is a slap in the face to you people

god, it must hell taking money from people who are so annoying, really wouldn't wanna be Sega or Whitehead right now

>>let's delay the game on the definitive platform

It's getting delayed on the Switch?

What do other platformes have over the Switch?

A good number of WB's recently made games don't have PC versions which can be chalked up to "PC isn't profitable". They aren't wrong, and they are at least honest, even if they were entirely at fault for that. Meanwhile Sega rehashes games like Total War or Soccer Manager and ports ancient games no one asked for, but when people ask for something new like Yakuza Zero, Sega just goes "lol fuck you".

And the best part? PC gamers actually DEFEND this sort of attitude. Sega is the only publisher in the world that gets away with shitting on their PC audience, which is saying a lot since PC fags are the most vocal and most hostile group of customers any publisher has to deal with.

>A good number of WB's recently made games don't have PC versions which can be chalked up to "PC isn't profitable".
eh? Injustice 2 is the only WB game out of PC, isn't it?

I still don't understand how there could be problems with the PC version. I mean, the Retro engine was designed for PC in the first place.

There was also that Bamham VR game (which could be excused for being a PSVR exclusive demo) and that one Cars game, when the previous Cars game had a PC version.

Before the shitstorm starts again.

>Anything is a slap in the face to you people

A delay, to me, means that the developer does not respect your time. They, also, don't respect the time and money of their investors.

Not my fucking problem.

90% Old zones, Sega lied
youtube.com/watch?v=uRJcdzw47Fo&t

I would have bought it on PC but now I have no reason not to pirate. I'll just buy on PS4 and get it for free on PC two weeks later

Who plays vidya on PC? This isnt the 90s.

Of course its because of priracy, they game is designed to run on a toaster how much optimization does it need?

I bet some PC loser comes in here and infodumps on the game as "revenge" against console plebs.

You're all so fucking sad.

Its quite probable it wont work, but it beats crying for nothing.

Just remember in you petition to add alternatives and at least convince them to:

>Give us a better gift than the sonic 1 rom, like a copy of the soundtrack.

>Ask them the truth and make sure they wont release the game with drm.

>8/12
>90%
Actually comes out to about 66%

Old zones with new layouts. Hydrocity was massively different.

Its great.

>This game isn't quite ready when we thought it'd be
>Should we hold off on release, do some troubleshooting?
>Nah, fuck that

Oh no, I'll have to wait a little longer.

Oiy vey.

I'm an adult, I can do other things in the meantime.

Faggot

Same user. I'm impartial to this. Waiting until we get some kind of official answer.

Good for you that you will play it, but theres the thing, we were wronged here.

Theres no reason for this to happen and you know it.

we aren't being robbed of anything senpai.

Thats why the alternatives, this is not only to release the game on time, this is to ensure the game wont get drm. And get something better than a fucking rom everyone and her grandmother has.

Whether you want to accept it or not, we ARE being robbed.

I'm not pirating so DRM doesn't hurt.

Releasing on time doesn't matter because I will play the game eventually.

We aren't hurt by this. I'm not losing anything.

>A delay, to me, means that the developer does not respect your time.
Respecting our time? Isn't this Sup Forums?

We don't even respect our own time here, so what is this lying supposed to accomplish? What's this image you're trying to create of yourself?

Yup
Already refunded the game and will torrent it when it gets uploaded. Fuck Sega, pieces of shit.

All it's doing is prolonging the time it takes for pirates to get the game which is a good thing for something like this where it's just a small team and Sega has no idea how it'll sell. They're trying to make as much profits as possible with the console versions. PC (no matter how much Sega pretends to act like they care) isn't top priority.

>tp
You corporate slaves need to be euthanized.
Fucking piece of shit end yourself.

Piratefag. Good luck getting a Sonic game close to this good again!

HEY SHITPOSTERS, YOUR "TORTANIC" RIGHT NOW IS LAWBREAKERS, NOT SONIC MANIA.

this desu
if anything it's just gonna hurt their sales

meme man is a fucking retard if he takes pretty shitposting seriously

With this even longer wait for the game now I don't even care if I get totally spoiled at this point. Fuck it.

the actual slap is the Sonic 1 offer. Like anyone pre ordering hasn't already played it a million times.

Is this the Dark Souls of 2D platformers?

Then why are consoles still using resolutions from the 90s?

MUSIC RIP ANONS

WHY ARE YOU NOT RIPPING STAGE MUSIC REEEEEEEEEEEEE

No just use Instashield you muppet

This, I don't know what would have been good but not fucking Sonic 1.

Sonic 1 is the hardest of the genesis games and even then if you get a game over, you're shit

I already canceled my pre-order because I'm not a cuck.

Fucking this. What a joke of a "we're sorry for the delay" gift.

>game gets released for a notoriously buggy platform
>delayed because of said bugs
>""master race"" retards get upset

don't you want the best experience possible? fuck you entitled pcbros

Ask Mark.

Cuck

>Good luck getting a Sonic game close to this good again!
You know what? I don't give a fucking shit.
There's more important things to me than a good sonic game.

Because of the delay I might pirate it, if it now has Denuvo I'll pirate it without any question or just won't play it, it's not like I don't already have a huge backlog I should work on.

No the slap is that it's a shitty emulated version of Sonic 1. It's not even the Taxman version.

just give us the buggy game and then patch it, not that hard. People will happy to play it at all

Mania should have been about taking the shittiest zones from each classic game and making them good, instead of the ones we've already revisited to death or already like. Nostalgia retained, variety amplified.

How about try making me like Wacky Workbench motherfucker

Like what? /gif/?

>releasing it the same day as this

what were they thinking?

the worst thing is that the delay happened 4 days before it releases. basically when pre-orders were at their maximum.
some people even ordered the collector's edition for pc.

also the game only has 4 new zones. and 8 remixed ones. spooky

What the hell is the point of this delay if it's still being released on consoles on the 15th? And don't say for piracy reasons. If that was the case, why the fuck would they announce it a mere four fucking days before it was supposed to be released?

I'm legitimately angry as fuck.

Like fucking anything.
I'm not willing to be a Sega dicsucker for good Sonic games.

My relation to Sega is the same as any company. I'm a customer first and foremost and that is that.
If they don't release a good Sonic game after this I don't really fucking care because at the end of the day that's their problem not mine.

Would've literally preferred nothing desu.
Talk about adding insult to injury.

Refund the game and pirate it.

Piracy reasons. That's exactly why they announced it so late. If it were bugs, they would've known about this a long time ago.

Don't you guys think that a delay 4 days before the release it's a bit fishy?

There has to be some true bad shit going on with the game to make that delay, and I doubt that SEGA is THAT retarded to set DRM to something already DRM'd.

>i can't do basic maths please rape my face

List them

Aww yisssss
My pre-order just got refunded by Steam.

They are that retarded. They think more security means they'll have less pirates

>switch version gets leaked
>pc players get punished instead

kek then

If it was to completely derail my hype, then they did that.

sega went into full-panic mode after the switch autist started leaking the game
they called their social media managers for an emergency not longer before the announcement thing
taxman made cryptic tweets about drms

they're probably just that retarded and this might be a misguided attempt at dealing with switch leaks

How to scream cap?

They kinda did this with Oil Ocean and Metallic Madness though. Definite improvements.

The fact that it's a PC delay for "optimization" is what's fishy. I bet they it's gonna have Denuvo now.

They got paid off by the big 3
Fucking jews

So mad

But again, wouldn't that affect all the versions instead of just the PC one?

Also shouldn't they know by this point that piracy is completely unevitable with big games?

PC is the easiest to pirate

pc is piracy on ez modo
ps4, xbone and switch aren't as well broken into if at all

But AGAIN, the Switch version was the one leaked. Why didn't they do anything about that version if it was the one leaked?

everything is leaning in favor of it being denuvo
>game gets leaked for switch, sega fears they might do the same with PC
>game gets delayed for "optimization" and they won't say a word more
>taxman makes a cryptic tweet about drm
>despite all the people asking, they won't admit whether or not it is denuvo even though they acknowledged the early release theories

Fuck that leaker, this shit is his fault.

Didn't we already confirmed that Taxman was talking about a thread where they discussed about putting DRM into people's DNA?

It's like Sega are trying to sabotage their PC release sector with shit like this. If Sonic Mania PC actually does have Denovo put on it, PC pirate rates for it will fucking skyrocket, solving nothing.

Taxman part is bull, but the rest can be considered evidence.

He deserved the ass-raping Oil Ocean gave him.

It's simple: Meme Man and his goons found last night's threads, and genuinely took their shitposting and quips about piracy seriously. They were so shaken by the whole ordeal that they felt the need to gut everything and force DRM.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were monitoring these threads right now. I hope you're happy you little shits, you just gimped your day one sales.

>no arguments

And it's still ez modo since I'll be pirating the game anyways.

Take a deep breath and scream:
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!

>They give us pic related
>new Renaissance of playing it with Sup Forums
Would have been amazing

>already have a million different versions of the game
>already have the mediocre Steam version, just using an emulator is better
>it's almost literally fucking nothing, and they sound as if it's a really gracious act on their part
>meanwhile the far superior Taxman remake is free on phones, with no signs of ever ported to other platforms
Thanks!

JUST
