For every Action (Sonic Mania), there is an equal and opposite reaction (all that shit you listed). It's just all of Sonic's bad luck spreading elsewhere

Xavier Allen
Reminds me of Bioware going full retard after making Chronicles. Meanwhile, Sonic got Colors. It was like the curse was transferred.
Gabriel Russell
Don't worry, the Otakus will die out and eat each other
Christian Anderson
They really are just asking for another nuclear holocaust.

>tfw this pic is so old I used to trace it back in middle school 10 years ago
>Have you just not been paying attention to Mania news then? i dont want spoilers, studiopolis got my hopes up, but then again....they had to reuse green hill for the millionth time
Easton Evans
But it's still obviously going to have new stages.
Blake Cook
What happened?
Jeremiah Roberts
>He races Shard >Then Shard Dies Rest in RIP
Nathaniel Butler
i hope you are right
Elijah Williams
Why wouldn't they have new stages along with the old? They also confirmed to be story reasons on why Sonic is going be passing through the old zones.
Robert Wright
>trailer says New Zones >most of the trailer is Studiopolis
>Gee, I hope there are new zones in this game.

*coughspecialstagescough* To this day I still haven't gotten the hang of Blue Sphere.
Jason Martin
I got cancer
Jaxson Murphy
I'm not good at it either. But I haven't been at it for very long.
Jason Hughes
It's been 20~odd years and I still suck at it. Lost cause, as far as I'm concerned.
Owen Evans
Lost world was a mistake...
Christian Butler
Sonic was a mistake.
Angel Phillips
i dont want old zones done again thats all
Aaron Fisher
25 YEARS OF LIE!
Adrian White
Understandable. Your first post made it sound like you thought there were no new stages at all.
Jason Powell
I don't think anyone really does that much. Feels like it was necessary for SEGA to okay the idea of Mania and new zones at all to me.
Ryan Mitchell
Blue Spheres are easiest special stages. But maybe I'm just saying that because S3&K was the game I played the most as a kid.
Aiden Gonzalez
doesn't really bother me, as long as they have enough original stages then the old stages are like a bonus to me. They get remixed and you can use Green Hill Zone to test the physics
NiGHTS is the same gender as the protagonist and first fallen human from Undertale.
Henry Perry
I've got a hunch that, if it's not 1:1 remakes and new stages, then there'll be more new stages. And of course the remade stages are still going to be different levels; we've only seen GHZ Act 1, which Taxman says is the least extreme, and it's already more Emerald Hill with Green Hill design than it is just Green Hill Act 1 pasted into another game.
Juan Flores
...
Aiden Gutierrez
Yeah, Green Hill act 1 is combined with act 2 and maybe 3. And has lots of new geography under it and floating over it.
Andrew Cox
Nights is gender-neutral/goes by the gender of the dreamer.
Elijah Hughes
i've been playing those same levels for a decade, i know them by memory, there is absolutely no fun for me to play them again in a new game, old levels should be DLC only and the main game new levels only.
I dont want old levels to take half of the game, the only way i would go with it is if they re-arranged everything in the old leves so playing them would be a new experience but green hill hints they are gonna be exactly the same
Jaxon Phillips
>green hill hints they are gonna be exactly the same
when was the last time you played Sonic 1
Connor Richardson
Are you not seeing all the new routes. It's not going to be the same green hill zone act 1 where you're going to beat under 30 secs. With all these physics, mechanics, and level design changes it'll play different. And they confirmed the rest will be more drastically changed.
Brandon Thomas
i dont get your point, how is this different from sonic1 ?
Joseph Barnes
>artist's pixiv is still hidden
Adam Gutierrez
Guys I never ever played Nights or even watched a playthrough on youtube, should i buy it from psn store? is it worth it?
Jacob Butler
>is it worth it? yes.
You won't find a comfier game with comfy music.
Landon Wilson
Are you being stupid on purpose and ignoring all that footage showing how different it is.
Kevin Davis
the only thing i see here is that they added a giant ring but that doesnt change the whole level
Dont get me wrong, i dont mean to disbelieve you, if you have a webm or video that shows differences better plz feel free to post it
Austin Price
what about literally all of this I really need to make webms showing all the major diffrences
Ayden Russell
>Also I would like to ask what Sonic game I should stream tonight. Sky is clear and I *MIGHT* be able to make it thru.
Sonic spinball best version
Jordan Ward
well that is something, i agree, but yeah if you could make more webms showing all the major differences that would be something great
Luis Robinson
Actually never mind about making the webms just watch this gameplay video. That file limit wouldn't fit it all. youtube.com/watch?v=u1nQxH3kugg
Jace Perry
anyone else want longer levels like in sonic CD ?
Connor Nelson
i'd rather not have levels like CD at all
Landon Gomez
No.
Xavier Nguyen
Some guy mapped out Studiopolis on paper based from the footage he gathered, it look pretty large vertically and horizontally
Never played much of CD what's wrong with the levels.
Aaron Gonzalez
so you guys want a whole game made of levels you can go through in 2mins or so? ok, have fun beating the game in less than half an hour
Henry Martin
did he post it here ?
Carter Taylor
Outside of Metallic Madness 2, the levels aren't that long.
Brayden Williams
I will.
Xavier Carter
>Never played much of CD what's wrong with the levels. levels were bigger and longer as it was intended to go with a more exploration based gameplay (you were supposed to find and destroy badnik teleporter machines and hologram projectors on each act to get the good ending), people didnt like that apparently
Colton Rodriguez
CD's levels are either too blocky, (See Wacky Workbench and Metallic Madness) Too Gimmicky, (See Collision Chaos and Wacky Workbench) A clusterfuck, (See Collision Chaos, Wacky Workbench, Stardust Speedway and Metallic Madness) and too maze-like (Stardust Speedway and Metallic Madness) I adore Palmtree Panic, Tidal Tempest, Quartz Quadrant and parts of Stardust Speedway, but the levels were tedious to play through, and I find that most of the love towards CD over 1, 2 and 3&K are mostly from people who either grew up playing CD on PC or Gems Collection, or people who have not played any of the other 2D games.
Henry Hall
>waiting a whole year to play for 28mins, at best
Brayden Rodriguez
FOUR
HOURS
Jordan Cruz
>too blocky >Too Gimmicky >A clusterfuck > too maze-like
larger levels means levels that are larger, just that, it doesnt mean they'll be exactly as sonic CD
Brayden Miller
I'm incredibly patient and Mania comes out in Spring. I also suck at going fast so it'll probably take me a whole day to beat, which is a good length for a classic game.
Thomas Price
if every act is 2/3 min long i doubt the whole game will last 4 hours
David Stewart
No he posted it on a forum, I can post it here if you want to see it but I would have to edit it together.
Jaxon Phillips
>a game's quality is based on its length
Christian Brooks
A TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTE GAME FOR 29.99?!
Jason Davis
i would like to see it, if you cant edit it just link us to the forum
Kevin Howard
>jumping between orbs >homing attack the life support >get shot mid-air This is the hardest fight in the game not because of difficulty, but because of how broken the game is
James Turner
never said that, but it's been 11 years since sega made a classic 2d sonic game, i've been waiting 11 years, i dont want te game to be too short
Liam Long
Ok, I'll try to edit it first. So it reads better. And I'll link the source.
Isaiah Martin
>29.99?! was the price announced already?
James Johnson
I'm just making a joke based off a somewhat popular youtuber
Nathaniel Perez
sorry i meant to say, it's been 11 years since 06
Thomas Cox
I loath almost everything in this game But somehow I'm still having fun
Luis Thompson
if shadow is supposed to be the ultimate life form...then how come that giant lizzard thing was the prototype? it looks nothing like the final product
William Johnson
you might want to check your math
Sebastian James
Something something Lost World mural
Ethan Myers
ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO
Grayson Long
i know i know, it's still 2016, its been 10 years since 06, but it'll be 11 years by the time mania comes out
Kayden Ross
>Love, Tails
D'awww
Jaxon Flores
Classic Sonic games were always short though. They're meant to be replayed, not have a super-long first playthrough. SEGA still did everything in an arcade mindset back then.
Justin Cook
never played lost world, it this the mural ? thats not biolizzard but perfect chaos from adventure 1 btw
Gavin Perry
>it's been 5 years since last good sonic game
Samuel Foster
i would be happy if mania would take as much as s3&k to beat yes i know thats two games combined
Matthew Stewart
which one would that be?
Henry Lee
Actually it's been 18 years since the last good sonic game
