>getting excited over a sonic game made by Sega.

You only have yourself to blame.

What? Generations was good

I don't understand the appeal of the 'run down a corridor' gameplay

Mania?

That was made by everyone *but* Sonic Team.
That's why it was good.

I look forward to it for the same reason I look forward to M. Night Shyamalan's new movies.
I sure hope it's going to be as good as the early ones, but if it's not, my time is insured by knowing that it's going to be a very hilarious trainwreck even worse than the last one.

yfw Heavy King comes out of nowhere and attacks Infinite.

HEY PARTNER! PARTNER! MY PARTNER HERE! PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER PARTNER

No because it looks like shit. Thank God for Mania otherwise I would've given up on this fucking franchise.

Please God make it happen.

>heavy king gets quickly defeated
>TOO FAR MANIA TEAM

It seems worse every time I see/hear something new about it.

Mania 2 when?

My greatest hope is that Sonic Forces (if it is truely as atrocious as it looks like it could be) gets memed on as hard as the other games before it so Sega just disbands Sonic Team and hands the IP to the studios who did Mania.
It's a fantasy, but I may dream about a future that is not yet written

>the studios who did Mania
t. clueless newfag

>disband sonic team
Man, if only.

Pagodawest and Headcanon are both studios, you fucking moron.

It will still sell well with kids, but SEGA will probably listen to the Adventure fans and try again with the formula after Forces.

What do you guys have against Puyo Puyo?

...

Yeah that's why I said studio(s)
Am I missing something.
Would you be as triggered if I said "The *guys* who made Mania"

>it's literally a skin and not just Shadow with your OC's face

Hahaha

I hope they get to fix those cutscenes, It's a shame we may never get something as nice as Unleashed ever again. I wonder though, couldn't they instead of using default oc's as civilians just take random avatars from players and slap those models into cutscenes at random? I think that'd be neat.

Roger's gonna have flashbacks

If the civilians are pushovers it wouldn't make sense for them to look like tough motherfuckers

Fair enough

I think the best future would be both sonic team and mania team continue making games.

I love the genesis games the most and mania done well but I imagine the team could only do maybe 2 or 3 more before stagnating.

Basically all I'm saying is I don't want mania team to live long enough to become the villian

>I love the genesis games the most and mania done well but I imagine the team could only do maybe 2 or 3 more before stagnating.

Fucking this. Do people not remember what happened to MegaMan? MegaMan 9 was well received only for people to start bitching when it was more of the same with 10. I'm not going to argue whether the game is going to be good or not, but the people who actively with for the games failure for the sake of ST disbanding are petty morons with zero foresight.

Sonic isn't going to last forever. We need games like this to revitalize our love for the series.

Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations, and now even Sonic Forces. These are the games that will forever continue Sonic's legacy as a good series.

The 2D games can keep evolving though. They can go in theire own directions. Remember that just because a game is 2D doesn't mean it has to be a genesis era throw-back like Mania was.

i think you missed something between heroes and unleashed

Why does this board glorify Crash Bandicoot then?

I think this line of thinking is what doomed the Sonic franchise after Heroes in the first place.
The idea that "People don't want a game where you just go fast, people need a gimmick."
I think Mania games can last for a lot longer than you give them credit for. It's fun to just go fast, as long as they keep the presentation stellar and give more original content and also don't release them annually so that they don't get boring.

I want to clarify this post by saying I don't think Adventure/Heroes are great Sonic games, but I think that when they were coming out there was still a chance for the team to find their footing and recover rather than fall into the endless trashpile that is the franchise in our timeline.

>sega handing their mistreated cashcow to a little group of people
retard, at best they will ask headcannon and pagodawest to join to the company.

neat, ow the edge 2

I want a classic style game like Mania but with all original levels. If I get that then I don't think I'd mind waiting for a bit to get the next.

Especially if they make more handheld 2D games like the advance series to hold the 2D fans over as we wait for another classic style game.

>Sonic isn't going to last forever
poeple have memeing that since 2003, and as some kind of contrarian magic sht, he's been going strong in sales

Its funny you say that because the 3D games are much faster than the 2D games. Go play sonic 1 and sonic and knuckles and tell me how fast that shit is. You get a few sections where you get full speed because the levels are crafted in such a way where theres nothing to stop you. The average person plays sonic for THOSE moments. Everything before is just a means to get to the cool cinematic. By all means, the 3D games are much better for the average person but IGN and other cronies have poisoned peoples minds into thinking they need to hate them when the only questionable ones to this point is secret rings, shadow, 06, and boom. And these are all completely playable, just not very fun

My ningen!
I look forward to seeing how they'll fuck it up each year

Aren't kids going to buy forces a lot though (Or rather their parents)?

This might be enough of a financial success that future Sonic 3D games are in the mold of Forces.

just like sonic 06's high sales filled us to the brim with 3d platformers in the style of the sonic adventure games, right?
knowing sonic team, they will ditch it to try another gimmick, giving us a mediocre result with a nice idea but awful execution

I played every single 2D sonic game on PC before Mania came out, I know how not fast Sonic 1 is and I have never claimed any of them to be flawless, and I had tons of fun with Generations which I thought was the first I've played to get it pretty much completely right (I heard Colors was good but I've never owned a Wii)
>By all means, the 3D games are much better for the average person but IGN and other cronies have poisoned peoples minds into thinking they need to hate them when the only questionable ones to this point is secret rings, shadow, 06, and boom.
Shouldn't you be in the Youtube comments of Infinite's theme talking about how it's the critics fault that Sonic Games are bad and wishing they would release Adventure 3?

He's not wrong though. Most reviewers were praising Sonic 4 Episode 1, but then "MUH PHYSICS" classicucks sperged out.

Then Sonic 4 was a "bad game".

People just like to hate on Sonic.

Sonic 4 is the Resident Evil 6 of Sonic Games. It's a bad Classic Sonic game, but still a good game.

Fight me Classicucks.

Sonic 4 was shit
>It's people's fault, it's just popular to hate on Sonic and no matter what they do they'll still hate him
>Everyone liked Generations
>Everyone liked Colors
>Genuine return to form with Sonic Mania
>Fast on track to becoming one of the most widely beloved games of the year
You are deluded

Hello, I'm this guy and I liked the 3D levels more than the 2D ones in Generations.
Sonic 4 was garbage.

Because most people didn't take Sonic games that deeply. No kid who played the games actually gave a fuck about physics in Sonic games. It was only the 20+ tryhard Classicfags who like to ruin everyone else's fun. It was only until those fags in particular started putting Sonic on this high pedestal that shit started going haywire.

Sonic 4 had almost universal praise. IGN even said "SEGA got this one right". Of course IGN isn't the best to go off of when it comes to how good a game is, but when the news outlet that hates Sonic the most actually praises it for once, maybe it's worth checking out.

Fucking Classicfags. Never ever.

Colors was released on a meme system no one paid attention to, so no one really knew of its existence.

No one liked Generations. You're deluded. The classic physics were all wrong. Just a step above Sonic 4's physics, but still pretty shit. Boost pads were everywhere and Sonic felt like a brick. Sonic Generations just gets a pass by having Classic Sonic in it.

To be honest I liked Episode 2 for what said, its multiplayer and how the game works actually allowed myself to introduce my 8 year old niece to Sonic. It may be the best starting point since physics aren't all that prevalent.

>Colors was released on a meme system no one paid attention to, so no one really knew of its existence

Literally everyone and their deceased relatives had a Wii. What are you talking about?

>No one liked Generations
Uh huh
You realize just because *you* don't like a game doesn't mean it auto-flops right?
>it gets a pass because it has classic sonic in it
Oh but I thought it was popular for everyone to hate on Sonic :^]

i wanna make sonic as my custom character

mfw

can someone post the mania team too far memes

Modern Sonic. just to clarify. It's fun to hate on MODERN sonic.

>The 2D games can keep evolving though

And how do you expect to do that without resorting to cheap gimmicks just like what the main Sonic games have resorted to? Even by Sonic 3 & Knuckles it was clear it already reached it's apex.

I did this based on the fucking Joker preorder outfit

What think?

>based on preorder outfit
>gloves

which ones?

i like that the gloves cover the gross hands

I love it. Buddy The Avatar is cute.

Well, I added the gloves since it looks ugly without them

And also because he's using the same pose as Joker in the All-Out Attack

Uh huh
You remind me of someone I once knew who was such a deluded Star Wars fanboy that he constructed a narrative in his head that the prequels were actually good movies but because everyone said they were bad movies it makes people think they're bad, not because they were watching a bad movie.
There's nothing wrong in admitting your favorite franchise makes a mistake, love the parts that are good and remember the parts that are bad so that the creator doesn't make them again. That's how love works, you idiot, no one is impressed by how faithful a husband you are when you let your wife shit in your mouth without so much as critiquing the taste

>which ones?
all of them

I just want Sonichu and coldsteel. I don't care how

The amount of cognitive dissonance and doublethink coming from the idiots still trying to push the "people irrationally hate Sonic" meme in a post mania world is really something.

Sorry, bottom post was meant for , I already replied to you.

The classic Sonics are my favorite overall, and even I can't stand Classicucks.

As I said before, no one gave a fuck about this game, so there was no one to really hate on it. Plus it was at a time where hating on Sonic was getting a bit old.

Glad someone gets it. I loved the classic games, and when I played 4... I also loved it. I didn't notice anything bad about it. But then the Classicucks attacked. I couldn't unsee Sonic 4's flaws....

Fuck You, Classicucks. You ruined a genuinely good game for me.

Sonic advance type games. let those games be experimental, and the classic style games to be released less often.

>thinking physics are just some trivial meme
Neck yourself

>Show genuine proof that no one hates sonic when he makes a good game
>Decides to make up a narrative about no one buying a Wii rather than admit that Sonic has a history of making bad games.
You are absolutely deluded.

>As I said before, no one gave a fuck about this game, so there was no one to really hate on it.

The internet was fucking ablaze with "Sonic is good again" praise when the game came out. It was on a console everybody owned and sold millions of copies. It reviewed well among critics and fans alike.
Just accept people don't like most Modern Sonic games because they're shit games, instead of trying to push your delusional narrative.

This. I absolutely want to see more sprites like the Advance ones, I don't know why I love them so much.

but Split was great though.

You need to be 18 to post on this board.

Remind me what 25 years of Sonic sounds like

Split is to Shyamalan Movies what Mania is to Sonic Games
And although it's fun to laugh at a bad thing, the real reason you keep coming back is when you get surprised by a really good thing

No one plays Sonic for the physics. They play it for the cool looking loops amd speed.

Most loved Zones
>Green Hill (LOOPS)
>Chemical Plant (LOOPSx1000)
>Stardust Speedway (LOOOOOOPS)
>Hydrocity (Sonic 3) (LOOPS UP THE ASS)

Most Hated Zones
>Labyrinth Zone(WTF NO LOOPS AND ACTUAL SKILL NEEDED TO WIN THE GAME)
>Wing Fortress/Sky Chase (Wtf I can't look super cool and go really fast/REEEEEEEEEEEEE WHERE'S MY LOOP THE LOOPS)
>Wacky Workbench (LOOPS WHERE????)

The fill a niche. They can be the 'handheld' sonic titles and if SEGA can get them to work well on phones then they can make a killing.

And since it's 2D, it gives us 2D fans something to chew on while we wait for Taxman and Stealth 'Sonic 5/Mania 2' for consoles and Sonic teams 3D titles. Too bad SEGA is allergic to good business decisions.

Keep in mind 2/3 of those sales were from Grandma and Mom playing Wii Fitness.

Yes how dare those who play a game series ceaslessly advertised to be all about high-speed platforming complain about levels with no high-speed.

...

I don't know why, but you mentioning "handheld" Sonic games made me think about the Legacy of Goku series. Would Sonic work in that kind of style?

>he fell for the Speed marketing meme

tfw that scene with bruce willis in the diner.
It was perfectly done desu.

>Sonic advance type games

But that's not possible is it's JUST classic all the time. And that's exactly why ST shouldn't get disbanded. Let them experiment around while Classic does it's own thing. Best of both worlds.

You need to be 18 to post on this board.

Yep you fuckin got me that's the last time I read the back of the box to see what type of game a game is before I consider buying it.

Unleashed was the last sonic game that had any passion put into it. Heck just by looking at the intro scene compared every other "3D" sonic game after unleashed it clearly there was more passion put into it.

and it was still mediocre

>wanted shadow playable
>get this

Are the shoes separate from the costume? I always thought they looked cool.

>The tag-team stages allow you to pair Buddy with Shadow at one point
>He plays like Sonic
Would you be mad?

>I hate SJWs, but don't you think that anti-SJWs are just as bad?
Kill yourself, faggot.
>Why did people point out a game's flaws?
>I let other people influence my opinion!
Kill yourself, faggot,

Me: This piece of KFC chicken is good!!!
Classicucks: That's not real chicken! Not farm raised! Filled with injected steroids! You shouldn't be eating that! That's not how real chicken tastes! That Chicken had bad physics!!!

>Food metaphor
>Liking boostshit
OH SHIT NIGGER WHAT ARE YOU DOING

>try again with the adventure formula
A man can only hope.
