pulled the trigger on the digital ps4 version. So effin excited. Hope there are more genuine new zones in the game then just "reimagined" old zones.
God I'm so ready to be super sonic again.
It's 60/40 so nope.

Yes there are more reinvented stages in Mania than brand new, but Mania is a big game so...

Eh. They would've been most of a year apart if Mania hadn't been delayed. They could delay Forces as well, but given the target demographic I don't think missing the holidays for a Q1 release has ever worked out well for them.

They said the game would have more levels than Generations (so at least 10), and it'd be on par with S3&K for length.
With that in mind, 12 levels doesn't seem like a bad bet. If each of the Hard Boiled Heavies gets their own level, that would give you 5 original zones and 7 remixed ones. Unless they pull from some really obscure portable titles or something, I expect them to double dip on which zones are represented.
Sonic 1 - Green Hill
Sonic 2 - Chemical Plant, ???
Sonic CD - Stardust Speedway
Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Flying Battery, ???
Maybe something else from Sonic 1? Hydrocity is rumored as the Sonic 3 level.
Reviews have definitely gone out
I spoke to Sega PR yesterday, and she implied that review codes won't go out until closer to the release date. Neither I nor two of my close colleagues have received anything yet.
I'd kind of prefer all new levels for a Mania 2 (since it would likely hit on some of the same stock Sonic tropes anyway), although I'd certainly be down for anything Taxman and Stealth cook up next time. They've more than earned my confidence.I hope every Mania sequel uses the same formula of brand new levels and remixed ones. I would really love it if they did a mix of popular and obscure levels to remix in the next game.
Good thing I got this for the Switch version of the game!
Already bought on Steam and have the PS4 CE pre-ordered. First time double dipping on launch, ever.
With a terrible d-pad.
I can do without the dpad
That's a shame, it's the only reason I'd pick one up. I'm doing "OK" with the joy-cons on some NeoGeo fighters, but with a good d-pad it would be much better.
Yeah. Says the 17th for delivery on Amazon.Did you guys have pre-ordered the Collector's Edition?
Yeah. Says the 17th for delivery on Amazon.
Isn't it supposed to arrive on the 15th? Release Date for the game?Yeah. Says the 17th for delivery on Amazon.
Yeah. Says the 17th for delivery on Amazon.
Yeah. Says the 17th for delivery on Amazon.
Want to keep the Amazon one as I'm getting it for $43 instead of $56. Gonna shoot an email and hope. If all else I'll get the digital Switch version and wait for my PS4 copy.Is this everywhere? Was thinking of getting it from Best Buy.
If the preorder wasn't all garbage I'd preorder it reminds me of dollar store trinkets
To blackout or absorb every dirty detail
"I'm outta here!" Been fun chatting about the game with you all! Time to take a break from the internet. Insanely excited for this game. What a time to be alive!
What kind of spoiler is this?
Oh boy!
I just want to hear music from the other new zones and remixed zones. Mania's music has been outstanding so far .
Seems like the game delivered for you.I just wanna say, I'm reviewing this game, I finished this game 100% earlier today after a few days of play - all Chaos Emeralds, all unlockables, etc - aside from anything that might be unlocked from Tails/Knuckles alone runs - and seriously, if you can keep the secrets, do. As an old Sonic fan I cheered and hooted out loud at some of the things in this game - bosses, zone selection, etc, plus the gimmicks in the new versions of old zones. I honestly think it's worth going in not knowing.
If you're a hardcore fan who will relish the little references or even the bigger ones like zone selection, it's worth seeing it first time in your playthrough. Even saying [zone x] from [game y] is in it and in Act 2 it has the [thing] from [thing] is a massive downgrade on actually seeing it via the act transition or whatever.
Sonic leaks actually having us avoid the internet.. indeed what a time to be alive.

I have a lot to say about the game in many different areas and directions, but I can't until Monday. The surprises are worth being surprised by in-game, though, I want to underline that to save some people in this thread ruining it for themselves.
