So does everyone, that's why Sega has handed this off to somebody that actually knows what they're doing.

I replayed Sonic 1-3 and knuckles last year and think they're shit too. I'm of the mindset that "Sonic was never good" now. :yeshrug

Can't agree with that at all.

WTF, this is actually legit? I might need to pick this up.
That level list looks awesome but it is missing my favoritespoiler (click to show/hide)No Casino Night Zone :fbm[close]
Happy for everyone loving the new Sonic. Unfortunately I wouldn't and that makes me sad but it is what it is.
What do the coins do from the globe stages do?
Add to your time.

i gotta admit that this is making me realize it's been five years since we had a new sonic racing :-\

How do I get emeralds in the bonus stages? I got to Mach 3 and nothing came after that except a bonus? ???
It's definitely time for a new one of them since it's a new console generation. I figure some year when they don't have a mainline sonic happening it'll show up at e3, hopefully next years.i gotta admit that this is making me realize it's been five years since we had a new sonic racing :-\

Yeah. :'( Loved those games. Much better than Mario Kart.
Can we talk about the game instead of making this a deconstruction of Himu's hatred of the franchise?
The medals unlock extra moves and cheats. I got the super peel out from SCD for getting three or four medals.
Hit the blue missile. Shit design like most of the game.
I really, really need to play a fighting game after playing this. I need release. Why do I buy into gamer hype? I hate games that aren't fighting games. This game does nothing to fix the core problems with Sonic's design, such as how awful rings are for instance and how much the levels rely on watching and mini cutscenes as Sonic spirals through shit very, very fast. They have managed to keep the style over substance of the Genesis Sonic's to a tee and they should be proud.
I was disappointed in there being no casino zone as I always associated those with Sonic, but Studiopolis has stuff that fill that void nicely.I bought the game

by the way, this was was pitched and sold as "More Old Sonic" so expecting it to solve or change the core mechanics of Sonic is not you buying into gamer hype, it's you not paying attention to why the hype was there in the first place.
I'd really appreciate a way to ball up in mid-air so I don't get hit by random enemies when the game basically does a "I'm gonna play myself" sequence.
Or a way to stop momentum and strike the ground like the Rush games/post-Unleashed games had. Just some finer degrees of control would be nice.
(I'm not asking for the homing attack, which I think would feel out of place here.)
you shouldn't be blind buying anything anymore now that twitch is right there. save your money.
F Knuckles, Sonic Only forever. :lawd

Microsoft is delaying the release of Crackdown 3 from Nov. 7, 2017 to spring 2018, the company confirmed to Polygon today.
If I remember correctly it and 2 were being developed at the same time. 2 was headed by Yuji Naka in San Francisco with a team of Japanese and American devs, while CD was done in Japan by Oshima.
It's why CD's spindash looks off and the sprite is from the first Sonic, plus why it didn't have Tails. They're both basically sequels to the first done by one of the creator's each, with both having their own ideas of where Sonic should go.
I guess we can say Naka had the right idea, and Oshima didn't.
I think it's cool to see both of the interpretations exist together, even if it jarring to go between them. In any other case one of the projects would be shitcanned.

It was at one point just going to be a port of Sonic 2, but Sonic 2 sold poorly in Japan so the team reworked it into its own thing.

Game looks sick, and I'll definitely get it on PC, but did they really just double down on the 3d orb collecting bonus stages from s&k? I always thought the sonic 2 runner stages were way better.

It has Sonic CD style bonus stages and the Sonic 3 orb stages.
Also, programming was his thing and he was damn fucking good at it.
the only knock is give against it is that it recycles a lot of material. otherwise it's far and away the best sonic. it's amazing how much fun they packed into every level.
I'm not even much of a Sonic fan but this is a must-buy for retro fanatics. Game absolutely nails it.
I think you guys are buying into the hype of "first good Sonic game since Genesis". Give it a year and see how well it ages. The core mechanics of Sonic are still broken.
yeah i know the levels in kc are unsalvagable trash but i was hoping for a joke about the crane or something.
in other news i found out that the steam version of sonic adventures doesn't have the fucking game gear games in it. since kega doesn't work with windows 10 what's a good Sega emulator I can use?
the Gamecube version of sonic adventure dx has all 12 game gear sonics included as unlockables, including the 2 that were never translated originally. always wanted to get it bc i loved the first 3 sonic games on gg, even tho the first two were balls-out hard.

Wait, does Sonic Adventure include the Game Gear games in some other format? I didn't think they were ever re-released.
PS Tails Adventure is the mother fucking shit
The core mechanics of Sonic are still broken.
The only people who believe that think 2D platformers can only be played in a certain way.
Sonic is not all about replayability, it rewards multiple playthroughs. The multiple routes make the levels dense and a lot more interesting to go through multiple times, which is a hell of a good feature for back in the day when there weren't any save states.
As far as finding going though it fast satisfying, I do and many others do. You don't. That's as subjective as it gets.
The game's core mechanics aren't broken, flawed, wonky, or whatever the fuck pseudo-intellectual forum posters think of it. It works incredibly well to the point that a return to it lead to almost unanimous praise. You think there's something objectively wrong here, but really it all boils down to a play style you don't like or don't like anymore. That's fine if that's your take away, doesn't make the game inherently flawed.
Himu, why did you buy a game that you knew you would hate?
Or maybe don't play it like it's a science project and just have fun?

Who said anything about a science project? Thinking something is bad and coming to conclusions is not a science project. I do not find Sonic fun and I find it odd people can shit on any game here unless it's a Sonic game for some reason because people grew up playing the trash.
The optimal way to play Sonic is by replaying it. The first run you take it slow, see where traps are, make notes. You don't get too heavy with the speed. Then you beat it and replay it, and do it again. But play it with more style as you know the game now. Maybe this time try to stay in upper levels. As a rule, lower routes tend to be easier and upper routes tend to be harder. So a good way of progression is to start first runs on low routes and on replays work your way up until you can do the entire stage with speed and stay on the upper route.
:yeshrug
I wouldn't classify anyone here being a Sonic fan. Who the FUCK actually leaves the house each day being comfortable with associating with that fandom :doge
:neogaf
Love how Sonic fans are always defensive. I remember when I made a thread shitting on Sonic on gaf and people were like,"you're trying to tear us apart by badmouthing Sonic!" Then I was accused of hating games. :sabu Sonic fans are hilarious. It's like you're personally coming at bae with them 100% of the time. "Leave bae alone! :brazilcry" :lol
Trump won last year because two Sonic games were announced.
Uhhhh, I think it's a pretty well made and stylish game that revisits old concepts and it's only 20 bucks.
That, and more importantly, it's pretty fun for me to play.
But my mistake might be that I'm playing a game for enjoyment and not in preparation to write paragraphs of broad, not-so-passive-aggressive metacommentary on a small splinter forum. :doge
🤔 Sonic would be a lot better with a health bar.

Must have beaten the main game 20-30 times at this point. Have about 70 hours clocked in for a short 2D platformer.
I bought that vinyl >.>
I NEED this on a handheld though

Switch breh
Switch port is pretty nice, especially controlling in portable mode on the couch.
The only problem with it is that the home & power buttons won't register 90% of the time, you have to keep pressing it until it works. Not that big of a deal, but it seems it's the same case for everyone.
They patched it on switch btw
I've seen more than few kids complaining that sonic mania doesn't look like that sonic 2 hd and I want to hit them all
hopefully this will clue sega in to put sonic team off of sonic and give it to rgg team who hopefully still has smilebit staff

I liked Unleashed (daytime) and Colors. They're not really "platformers" so much as score-attack single-player racing games, which can be pretty fun IMO.

I'd rather have a new Jet Set Radio if there's still Smilebit people around.
People act like Adventure 2 has aged so poorly, but even back in the day everyone knew that everything but Sonic/Shadow stages (and chao garden) was trash.
Plenty of games have lives and timers, particularly Mario games
Picked this back up and I'm kinda souring on it. Was just figuring out a boss when I got timed-out (again.)
What's the point of encouraging exploration if you die after a set period of time for no reason?

Those usually count down though.
Yeah exploration LOL if you are playing a lvl for more than a few minutes youre doing it wrong sucka!
Also Tee Lopes has inspired me to start learning FL Studio

Sega: "We were very surprised to find that good, quality Sonic games actually sell really well."
:ohhh
They slow the game down just way too much on their own
the longest recorded lifespan for a captive echidna is 50 years, with anecdotal accounts of wild individuals reaching 45 years.
Why does Michael turn into a fighter jet
Sonic Mania Plus is cool. Will probably get it. Sonic R sucked and I don't really want a Sonic racer without other SEGA IP's, so pass.
But sadly people will buy that shit over a new Outrun :fbm
I hate the look of Sonic racing, it reminds me of Sony Smash Bros.
But sadly people will buy that shit over a new Outrun :fbm
However, I read that this new racing title isn't a sequel anyway. I wish we could get a classic Kart game like old MK/Crash/Diddy Kong but with the art direction of Sonic Mania. :drool
I can believe that, but I just couldn't stand how it looked :yeshrug
It literally just slows down the music.
OK? just answered your question.
Might and Ray being physical only makes me so happy I stuck with the original digital version.
Trash characters... :nope
OK? just answered your question.
That wasn't at you but bork/the YouTubers. From the tweet and video title/thumbnail you'd think they found Luigi in Mario 64 or something.
Oh wow slow music mode :snore
I always kinda liked mighty but his abilities suck here. Ray's gliding is legit cool but there's not really many situations it's applicable to.
Are those improvements also in the base game? I did notice they finally fixed the Home button lag.
