Hyped for Forces & Mania. FAST
Team Dark needs their own game.
Thank God for Sonic Mania existing.
>status of general
>scrap brain doesn't get a new stage in mania because sega insisted on green hill zone AGAIN
how does this make you feel
So what do we do if Forces is indeed bad?
>Mania hype as fuck
>Forces shaping up to be a cringefest trainwreck
>Archie comics cancelled
>Adventurecucks receiving maximum disrespect while Classicfags are eternally pandered to
How the fuck does BEST TIMELINE fucking taste, kids?
Marble Garden Zone is the least entertaining and by far the most grating zone in sonic 3. due to its lackluster level design, sore color pallet, and the need to put ARROWS throughout the stage, I should feel like im making progress in a zone, not running in circles. The badniks and boss choices aren't the worst, though. the fake spikes are clever, and people clearly seem to remember the blue bubble badniks.
F A S T
I have absolutely no hype for Mania.
>muh Sonic-style console warring
I love the classic games, but fuck off
Nah
Swim in the cancer anyway. We own it.
Thabk God for Mania at least.
And I have absolutely no hype for Forces.
Seriously, are there any stages from 1 that you WOULDN'T prefer over green hill zone again?
Funny, I'm the opposite. Pretty damning since I was hyped for both in the beginning. But now? The hype for Forces is gone.
>No spang yumb
I'd rather have Star Light or Spring Yard
>I like that you're happy with the franchise for the first time in decades but fuck off
stay bitter, kid
...
>spang yumb
excuse me
Daily reminder that if you're participating in "muh Mania vs. muh Forces" shitposting, you're a fucking moron. Just pick the Sonic game you're looking forward too, enjoy it & don't try to antagonize others like a douchebag.
You can be happy, but shitting on other Sonic fans is fucking retarded. This fanbase as a whole is seen as a joke, so mocking fellow Sonicfags for liking something you don't is stupid.
dude that was supposed to be spring yard
got a tooth pulled sorry
$50 on mania
So when does Sony start their conference?
>OP of the pprevious thread having an autistic meltdown that his precious (YOU)s are being cut short
Who wins in the likely case of Forces getting 5s and 6s and Mania getting 8s, 9s, and 10s, but Forces outsells Mania?
>mocking fellow Sonicfags for liking something you don't is stupid
While that's true, user-kun, I'm speaking as someone who's nostalgic as fuck for the Adventure games still.
The people who are deluded as fuck into thinking that we need more of them, though, are worth laughing at. Because their will has been actively keeping the franchise in the gutter for decades, are thus directly responsible for the incredibly shitty image that the franchise as a whole suffers from.
SEGA wins because they get our money either way.
Forces.
They'll find a way to push blame onto the gaijin piggus to save glorious face.
I'm certain Forces is going to average around the same scores Colors and Generations got.
>Forces outselling mania
Kek. The hype for mania is too high.
Forces may generate more revenue because it costs 3 times as much, but then again Forces also has a much larger budget to make up, so Mania will still probably have a better net profit.
Why can't this dumb gerbil learn to swim?
I saw that. Pretty funny, but that's what he gets for gayposting his homo fetish in the OP.
Still incredibly excited for both Forces and Mania, and will be happily buying both day one.
I wonder if they make sonic weather vanes
This
>spang yumb zone
I can think of many things that's been hurting the Sonic series lately, but people saying they want a type of Sonic game coming back is not one of them.
You sure that was the OP? You sure that wasn't just some other user?
Well, too bad user. You have to pick a side & act like a manchild over your side being better.
They call me sonic
IGN is covering Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces for 30 Mins. at 5:00 PST. It may be the same thing or we might get the full version, who knows, I'm ready to be dissapointed
I call you rat.
>IGN
>Sonic
Nope!
Oh boy
I guess you're right. I can't prove it's him, but I hope it is because I'd hate to think we are surrounded by that many fans that are both sonadow furfags AND autistic about something so pointless as a thread ending
>IGN
Oh baby 30 minutes of asking where big the cat is and if players can fuck him get hype!
Does anyone want to read my fanfiction I made really quickly? It's about shadow and sonic after sonic finds him in forces?
FUCKING HELL THIS HURTS TO WATCH
Yeah but the autists levels for oc creator is higher. you know that shit is gonna go mainstream as fuck for the memes and shit.
>Does anyone want to read my fanfiction I made really quickly? It's about shadow and sonic after sonic finds him in forces?
yes
2late4me
is he trying to turn around mid loop?
Do they fuck?
Don't be wasting my time here, user.
You'll be massively disappointed, user.
Is it lewd? Because if it is, you post it in /trash/
Yes.
Sure. Can't be too bad.
Ironically, the worst thing that can happen to forces is to get a mediocre score.
Really high and it will attract a positive reputation and sell more.
Really low and it will become a meme and thus a cult classic.
Is there a link to this? If Aaron is there maybe things won't be so bad.
jesus fucking christ
...
Well... the logo is good i guess
Unironically my favorite thing I've seen from the game
Indeed. Hopefully the HUD looks good too when it comes out.
No it most definitely isn't.
has anyone been able to make out any of the lyrics for the music that plays during Green Hill Zone for Buddy?
No, but I hope we get a full version of it soon. I really liked Park Avenue for Buddy, so I wanna hear what GHZ would be.
You know what I find fucking retarded? That Heroes isn't everyone's favorite Sonic game
>Gorgeous graphics, perfect example of the 2D aesthetics transitioning into the 3D world
>Excellent music
>Multiple playable characters, all of which are just a slight variation of Team Sonic and I've seen people say that that's how multiple characters should be done
>Fully 3D
>Good level design
You have 10 seconds to explain why this isn't your favorite Sonic game and it better not be a meme complaint or I'm fucking decking you in the face
Link? Same stream?
Awful controls, it's very slippery. Too talkative (doesn't help that it had an awful voice cast)
The levels often stretched too long and you had to replay the game 4 times to get the final ending.
>>Fully 3D
So's Bubsy 3D, don't cite this as an inherently positive thing
>>Good level design
Hell no
>Good level design
This is the ideal Sonic level. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

He won't win
Don't stop if you (???)
We won't give up
This is the way
We won't stop
Keep going to (????)
Until you drop
There's only one chance
So make it count
You can't do it if (???)
Keep going forward
and never stop
Keep boosting forward
to the top
boost to win, boost to win
boost to win
You have to play through the game four fucking times to beat it

There is literally NOTHING wrong with this.

>Checking the youtube comments of new Sonic Forces gameplay footage
>''Comment section is cancerous. Be careful of Wild whiny sonic fans.''
>''You're on my fucking rape list now.''
Never played it.
Git Gud
nice
It is my favorite though. The only Sonic game I 100%'d.
I actually very much enjoy Marble Garden's level design though
I just got here and I've been the whole day out. Can someone summarize all that happened through the day or point me somewhere to read/watch? Thanks anons.
Forces and Mania footage we've already seen was shown at E3 for literally less than 5 minutes.
And that's about it.
Sonic showed up on the surreal Pre Pre E3 show on twitch. Showed off the 3 gameplay styles, Modern in Park Avenue, Classic Sonic boss (the Sonic 1 boss that turns into Egg Dragoon), and the OC in Green Hill. Sonic's friends talk to you throughout the levels.
youtube.com
They then showed this again during Youtube's livestream.
E3 pre-show showed some Mania gameplay (Green Hill boss in particular), and it was OK. E3 showed pretty much the same thing for all of 5-10 minutes. It's fucking nothing, don't worry.
You guys need to slow down for a bit, geez.
Indeed. Rotor really needs to lose some weight and also man up his lazy and slack personality. Nobody will like him if he just continues like that.
But I don't want that. Rotor is as perfect as he is, and that's why I love him.
>I'm still praying for a surprise revival
Another reboot? Hm, not sure if that's a good idea.
>user, I think you need a little rest
Sorry, yeah, you're right. I need to train more on speaking english and have good rests to dream Rotor.
I'm sure not, because Ken disliked on working with other nearby writers and always preferred on fulfilling every task, while alone, needed to make a full comic. I think you're referring to Karl Bollers, who leave the Sonic's comics behind during Penders' administration.
It's funny. Karl left and went on to make an Eisner nominated comic. Penders went on to storyboard Bratz.
Also Penders went out of his way to not read what other people wrote
>WHAT
>THAT'S HUGE
>WHAT
I want to murder these people.
A fully 3D Sonic game is a fucking blessing from the gods, which IS an inherently positive thing.
Also you can't even say as to how it doesn't, kys retard
meme complaints blown out of proportion. The control is nowhere near as bad as people say it is and there is NOTHING wrong with replaying the game 4 times. Each story is like 2 hours at the very most. That's short as fuck.
Found the barafag.
>Unforgiving level design
Way too many bottomless pits. Even if you have a level's layout memorized, there's a chance you'll stick fuck everything up and die because of glitches
>Bland environments
In the Genesis game we got interesting worlds like Hydrocity, Casino Night, etc. In Sonic Adventure, the levels started shifting to what seemed like mostly inhabited areas, like cities, resorts, etc. Sonic Adventure 2 kept this theme and mostly centered around cities, industrial areas, and space (with some exceptions of course like Pumpkin Hill). Sonic Heroes just... I don't know. It doesn't have an identity here. There's no theme. It just feels like it's copying Adventure 1/2 while going for Sonic 1/2's aesthetics.
>Plasticy graphics
This plagued many early Gamecube/PS2/Xbox games but Heroes came out in 2004. We should have been over this phase by now. Everything just looks overly shiny.
>Play through the same exact levels 4 times to beat the game
No thanks. Complain all you want about Sonic Adventure having every character share the same stages but at least most of them were under 3 minutes long. Levels in heroes like Rail Canyon and Egg Fleet take forever.
>Enemies that take more than one hit to kill
why
>The boss fights
Let's see there's the Egg Albatross you fight several times. The first encounter is actually cool. The second one is shit. It's not fun and it's glitchy unless you want to do it slowly with the flight character. Egg Emperor is also pretty good from what I remember. The other fights with the haunted level and bingo levels are shit. Pure shit. They couldn't be bothered to make actual boss robots to beat so they just make you beat up regular old enemies. Jesus that's so lazy. And Metal Sonic's fight was a huge letdown.
>Gameplay
Controls feel slippery. Every team plays the same besides forced differences like difficulty.
>"We're taking Sonic back to his roots, honest!"
Classicfags don't want this game. Neither do Adventurefags.
Did they let Amy keep her Boom voice?
They sure did, I'm really happy about that!
Sounds like it. Thank God.
