Sonic the Hedgehog is such a weird series.
It's been so bad for so long, it's kind of unprecedented in gaming.
No other series I can think of has lasted this long while making mostly bad game after bad game.
Maybe the WWE games. But even thats not quite the same.
Even if this game is good, can it really turn round the runaway train that has been off the track for decades?
Love that low poly aethetic.
*delicious low poly Sonic gifs*

Aww shit son, Im feeling the sunshine.
edit: wait, youre behind the sonicthehedgeblog tumblr? Together with supper mario broth theyre my favorite tumblr feeds to check.
It would depend on sales and whether SEGA listens.
Honestly my siblings think that it's just a greatest hits of all three games. They're not interested in it cause they said that they could play the first three games in their entirety all on their phone.This is why I am telling anyone who will listen about the game.
For some odd reason, some people just think it is the first three games.

No but there has a been a shit ton more awful Sonic games than just Boom and 2006 over the last 10 years or so.Have you only played Sonic 2006 and Sonic Boom ever since Sonic 3 & Knuckles?
Not sure if this has been posted yet but here's a clean screenshot of the special stage
I love how low-poly and jaggy it looks. It could have actually been on the Saturn

So, to clarify: Officer Eggrobo is the Studiopolis Boss, right?
It was shown as a boss in Studiopolis in the pre-order trailer. Not sure if it was a mini boss or regular boss.
Wondering if the Hard Boiled Heavies will act as bosses for the original zones, while Eggman takes the classic zones.

Ah, exactly as I remembered. Thanks!
This may very be the case. I wonder if the Heavies have names?
While playing a couple days ago I noticed that Knuckles had brand new super fast running animation in the same way that Sonic does when his hands get thrown back. Is there footage of this anywhere? Knuckles didn't throw his arms back but his feet wheeling did change and I want to see it again.
After Mania comes out they should give 3D Sonic to the indie devs of projects like Sonic Utopia and Green Hill Paradise Act 2.
Well, we do know the Heavy in the post above is called "Heavy Gunner". So Heavy ____(and their function), seems likely to be the case.
The video itself is a 30fps, but everything else in the video is at least 24fps which is why all of the gameplay footage looks so choppy.Trailer upload was 30fps, game is 60 yeah
Outstanding

I can see the dev team making a Mania sequel then moving on. As much as they love Sonic, I can't imagine any of them want to be stuck making iterations of the same franchise forever. Coincidentally, I think that's why Sonic Team keeps trying to change things up. Taking what people like from one game and making it again and again might result in better games but it's creatively limiting.
Yup. Supper Mario Broth was a big inspiration. I know way too much about Sonic, so I use it as my escape. Plus I run Oldgamemags and The Video Game Art Archive.
Gameplay? Idk about that. Graphics tho? If they can make it work I'd be in if they concocted something fun to playSeeing all these low poly Sonic models makes me wish we can get a new sonic in the style of Sonic World from gameplay to graphics. Unfortunately that will certainly never happen.
That's be neat esp if they urilize her advance 1 playstyle (non curl jump, hammer attack etc)Anyone counting on Amy as an unlockable or DLC?
I think its unfair to say that. Unleashed came out in 07 and while it was a little rough in places, it was a pretty good game.
- Secret of the Rings (Ok)
- Unleashed (Good)
- Black Knight (Bad)
- Colors (Good)
- Generations (Good)
- Lost World (Pretty good/misunderstood?)
- Boom (Bad)
- Forces (Could be good)
Honestly Sonic hasn't been really bad for over ten years. You could even discount Boom as its a weird side offering from a Western dev.
Hmm.
Heavy Gunner
Heavy Ninja (shuriken?)
Heavy Wizard (top hat?)
Heavy Knight (mace?)
Heavy King (saloon portrait?)
Perhaps this is close?

do we have any idea of how saves/ lives work in this game?
i want modern accessibility in a solid 2d platformer before my flight at the end of august
As a massive fan of the franchise I really think you are being too kind to it.
- Sonic Adventure ( Good for its time Aged Terribly )
- Sonic Adventure 2 ( Good for its time Aged Terribly )
- Sonic Heroes (Mediocre)
- Shadow the Hedgehog (Bad)
- Sonic 06 (Bad)
- Secret of the Rings (OK)
- Unleashed (Mediocre)
- Black Knight (Bad)
- Colors (Good)
- Generations (Great)
- Lost World (OK)
- Boom (Bad)
Theres a case for Unleashed being amazing in places, but you judge games as a whole not by their best bits, especially when the best bits only make up ~1/4 of the game
What platform are you guys getting this for and why?
Personally I'll probably end up going Switch for portability, hopefully all versions run at the same resolution, have no issues, etc.
Will definitely double dip if a physical version is announced.
Unleashed mediocre? Naa. Maybe not your style but nothing in Unleashed is mediocre. Good at least.

The Werehog is massively mediocre and uninspired and it makes up the majority of the game. The game structure with the Hub also makes no sense considering what sonic is supposed to be and its clearly there just to be filler. you end up with just 1/4 of the game being amazing (the daytime stages)
