I am ok with this. I’m looking forward to seeing what IDW will do.

maybe Amy’s sisters can be created in Sonic Forces, and Amy should carry the torch for the series, she’s still fresh

agreed, some say the series is about speed, but most play the games at a slower adventure pace. the speed gimmick doesn’t let people savor the areas like adventure style does. there can be speed but traditional speed maps arent gonna hold interest, like roller coasters tend to only be used once, but free roam theme parks get a lot of use.

If I see Sonic cross over with Transformers…

Blurr and Sonic… Do it.

Maybe he should try and sue over the knuckles he’ll get to his face?

Sonic crossover with TMNT and Ghostbusters. Let’s do this!

I want that instruction manual.

That shit is a lost art.

Sonichuman · July 23, 2017, 9:10am

I’m incredibly jelly right now.

notes from the SDCC panel on GAF
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=244245153&postcount=604

Old post but here are my notes from the SDCC panel just a few hours ago. They talked about the Super Emeralds.

Sonic Mania Panel

1 - 1 year anniversary of Mania Announcement trailer today.
2 - First meeting in 2016. Sonic Discovery was the original title.
3 - Iizuka writes Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, S&K on a board and then Sonic Mania.
4 - “By the Mania for the Mania” is something Iizuka kept saying.
5 - 2nd story revision. What has Eggman been up to after 3&K? He falls into depression, no will to fight Sonic, goes back to base in pajamas. What happened to all the Badniks after he left? Then 3 words, Hard Boiled Heavies.
4 - Length longer than 1, 2, 3 and K. Comparable to 3&K, and with more game modes. They think we will be happy with the length.
5 - Keep records of favorite bugs. (I forgot why I typed this, I know they kept records of their favorite bugs and showed us a few, hilarious, not sure if we can)
6 - Special stage - Sonic 1 back ground, looks like CD with 3&K spheres. Get blue spheres, go faster, catch UFO. Get emerald.
7 - Rings increase timer to catch UFO.
8 - true to how Saturn would render 3D.
9 - Dimension heist music. I like it! Going to grow on people. YouTube soon.
10 - Has Sprite cut scenes between stages 3&K style.
11 - Animated short, full animation for the opening of the game. Like CD. aug 14th release.
12 - I got this amazing classic style game manual! Some goons walked out early and missed it! That’ll learn em! This thing is nice!
13 - Only this weekend can you preorder the special addition clear vinal of the sound track.
14 - No Super Emeralds. Iizuka felt like they would have to keep 1 upping themselves after that so they decided to go back to Super and just cap it there.

so eggman isn’t involved at all and this is actually ‘canon’? Also no Super emeralds? BOOOOOOOO…

not direct feed recording of what the special stage music sounds like

Hydrocith zone rumor

Havent searched retro yet for said post yet but if true im down for that tee lopes mix.

Edit: kinda want to believe this rumor due to the fact that no water stages have been revealed yet.

Waiting for Mania livestream

EDIT: Stream is a waste of time. Nothing about Mania is being shown
