How long do you think it will take Taxman to make the sequel?
Given how much longer it will take to make new assets for completely new levels
Unless 2 has more retro levels, which I wouldn't mind personally

>Spring Yard
>Icecap

Is Sonic Mania the Dark Souls of Sonic games?

Would that be a transition to Sonic Adventure?

it's the bloodborne of sonic games

Sonic Adventure Mania leading up to Sonic Adventure 3 WHEN?

Blue Sphere till Mania PC
hope everyone's having fun
smashcast dot tv slash BlueSphereAnon

that would be great
also
>City Escape
>Metal Harbor
>Pumpkin Hill

where's the soundtrack download? Is there any place you can grab it online?

Getting the engine working perfectly probably took the longest amount of time, so being able to recycle it would make it much less challenging. They'd be able to spend more effort on creative design and would probably get a much healthier budget for it plus more manpower based on Mania 1's success. So probably not very long.

I hope LakeFepard can help out.

whatever happened to Team Megamix

Gonna pick it up this weekend, is there a physical Switch version?

>Implying the nips won't get rid of him for shaming them by making the best Sonic game in over twenty years

Mania is fucking amazing, but it's Taxman has constantly been moving up the ladder as SEGA starts trusting him more and more. Assuming Mania does well I wouldn't be surprised if they ask him to make a completely new 2D Sonic next

A portion of the team went on to make Mania.

Could he be given the reins to make a high budget 2.5D Sonic game?
Like what they wanted to do with Sonic 4?

that's great news

it costs more to make well crafted 2d sprites though right?
a 2.5D game following Mania would just look like a downgrade
I mean I know Sonic 4 looks and plays like dogshit, but does any 2.5D game really look all that good anyway?
especially when compared to how vibrant and alive Mania feels

Sonic Generations

>that's great news
meant for
did they ever finish Megamix 1?

Just finished the game again with Knuckles again and

>that Hidden Palace cutscene

Knux plays a LOT better than he does in 3&k as well. Less downtime after the glide really makes a world of difference. His routes are pretty cool as well.

it may be one of the better looking 2.5ishD games, but it's still very dull and rigid

I'd be interested to know how much money went into that compared to Mania

>yfw

It really baffles me how good that boss fight is
I don't think they'll ever be able to top this in Forces at least

This is Heavy Magician. Say something nice about her!

Actually bought this today on impulse. Haven't fired it up yet. Fill me in, what am in for?

literally hitler

Is the multiplayer only local or can you play online?

Possibly the best Sonic game ever made. I'm not kidding, this makes 3&K look slow and boring.

T-thicc?

anybody watching the sonic live stream? Someguy just said our hole meme

Not the biggest sonic fan, just enjoyed 1-CD.
>that chemical plant act 2
>that studiopolis
>that press garden act 2 everything
>that metal sonic fight
Wew this p gud

>played through the game 3 times already

help

Mania is the Force Awakens of Sonic games. It's so flaccid and relies too much on nostalgia-pandering to actually be considered intellectually stimulating.

complete OST dumped when

Didn't know they were streaming.

>Goes and sees streamers trying to do a big combo on the Meme Bean Machine.
>Fail.

Well I know what I'm watching tonight.

I want to bounce on your bumper tits ma'am

On level 5 now
4>1>2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I can't believe I put my faith in them to make original levels. 3 and 5 are complete trash

Shinobi is best girl

Don't you talk shit about Studiopolis or Press Garden

>girl
he's a boy

Shinobi is a guy. Rider and Magician are the girls

If he succeeds too much it's entirely possible the Japanese will have him assassinated, for his sake I hope he has hired private security and screened them THOROUGHLY.

Admit it, they are fucking terrible

Anyone who defends this shit is obv a developer or a stupid fanboy

Generations and Forces are pretty similar, the success of Generations and failures of Lost World (still not the worst) and the Boom games (contender for the worst against 06) probably prompted Forces to be made to capitalize on what made Generations successful.
Ergo, these games all have an extremely, significantly higher budget compared to Mania, a game that probably spent 75% of its resources making the perfect physics engine and 25% on its art assets and music.
Also consider that Taxman reused a bunch of assets from a scrapped ROMhack/fangame into Mirage Saloon, so that's 1 whole zone that was basically 50% complete before development started.

TieTuesday is playing this right now on twitch and holy fucking kek, he is bad at this game

>hurrrr I keep making the same mistakes why am I losing in this boss battle?

Nah, you're the one being dumb here. You're not even saying why they're bad, instead you're just doing some meaningless bitching.

Fuck you Spyro Thread, I bet you don't think Enter the Dragonfly is that good too. Studiopolis is the greatest level ever made besides maybe new Stardust Speedway Act 2

There is nothing wrong with Studiopolis or Press Garden, they're both thematically consistent, have great layouts, and look like they actually fit into a Sonic game.
Oil Ocean on the other hand... Looks like Metal Harbor was raped by a Muslim immigrant and forced to have the baby.

so about the ending
Classic sonic goes to forces?
I think that is what happens,right?

Maybe.

Yes, the Time Stone makes the same exact noise that Infinite makes in the Forces trailer, and Sonic makes the same pose that Classic Sonic makes in that trailer too. The Time Stone is going to play a vital part in Forces' story.

The Final boss theme literally has Fist Bump in it, what do you think?

youtubers are terrible at classic games. Just look at the Crash videos. Fucking embarrassing how bad they are.
"this was my childhood"
no it wasn't
You can't be this bad at a game and say it was your childhood. There's no way.

My childhood was Mario then Sonic.
My teenagehood was Crash, Spyro, and Twisted Metal.
I am amazing at all those games still. Why aren't these people?

>the streamer suggesting a "no lives" mode
>chat agrees with him
holy shit
and he's just fucking up left and right through his own mistakes

>is a she
>dressed like a man

Eggman is a feminist. Conquering gender roles and the world!

TIHYDP Sahnic *snort* Mania when

>killed by a laser because he stood up too early
Fucking closed the stream right there. The guy is just flat-out bad at this.

NAME A BETTER JAM IN THE MANIA SOUNDTRACK

youtube.com/watch?v=LNxrS4F_HwM

That ain't your pappy's Time Stone, son.
It's Infinite's protoform

But seriously why are people saying it's a Time Stone when Eggman used it to bend reality and warp?

Do we know if you get anything for all of the gold emblems yet?

anyone know if gamestop rewards can be used online? like the $10 coupon so i can make this $10.

They got rid of all the physical rewards which is kinda gay but i have 13k and what not. Would love to add this to my switch collection, but believe it or not I'm kinda short on cash due to bills.

LIGHTS
CAMERA
ACTION!

Mania is amazing and probably best in the series but post your least favorite part right now. Fuck this boss and fuck Oil Ocean act 2.

>Taxman actually made Metallic Madness a fun level

How does the madman keep doing it?

I think everyone can agree this is the worst part of mania

mania team went too far, the big man is gonna axe taxman off after mania destroys forces

That's just the term I've seen being thrown around, if anything it's probably what gives Infinite his powers or it holds him like a genie or some shit.
Chances are it's an item that's glitched and Eggman is exploiting the glitch.

I don't.

>no SONIC DEAD OR ALIVE IS MINE
>no YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING SO DON'T EVEN TRY
>GET SOME HELP

why

guess i should have just checked...

>This reward is for a printable coupon redeemable in stores Valid toward the purchase of one single in-store and in-stock item only. Not valid toward gift cards, downloadable content, reservations or POSA cards.

fuckin jews

It's not as bad as others say, but it's still my least favorite part of the game.

hydrocity act 2 boss
or heavy rider

>The fucking pinch mode for Metallic Madness Zone's miniboss
How the FUCK did Taxman or SEGA think this was acceptable? I didn't play through this entire Godsend of a game just to get 12 game overs to an unfair version of the final boss of Sonic 1.

It does?

I hope the next game uses levels from Triple trouble and game gear ones

>Taxman took Oil Ocean, included elements from Sandopolis, and somehow made it fun

The Jap website called it a Phantom Ruby, whatever that means

it's not wise telling lies on the internet user

0:54 for both of them.

You're right or THE BOYS just being an illusion, but it's better than nothing

Oh man neat.

>Press garden act 1 boss
How the fuck are you supposed to kill the kill guy without abusing invulnerability from dropping rings? He never wants to hit the stun boxes unless you're at an angle you're going to get hit.

get him to hit one of the boxes,he loses his chainsaw arm for abit then you can hit him.

You mean the bulb? Just attack him when he spawns and when he gets done attacking.

If you're talking about the Samurai, he can't hurt you when you're frozen

Fuck got confused. Lead him into hitting something hard.

There's nothing unfair about this at all. Got it first try.

So...how long until someone figures out how to tunr her & Heavy Rider into waifus?

Hopefully soon.

Is Switch the superior version over the PS4?

No

they're both beta testing the product at this time.

>DSP is better at blue spheres than you

>No Mean Bean softlock glitch
>It's portable
>Better graphics
Yeah.

Fun fact if you have t mobile and download the t mobile tuesday app today you get sonic cd for free on steam

>Sonic Tails Knuckles AGAIN

When we'll see Cream, Blaze, Rouge, Amy and Shadow already?
