The Sonic the hedgehog thread V.7 2017 its been generations since the last good sonic game

FOH, done with the internet for today

IIRC Taxman actually reworked the physics from the classic games for his ports of Sonic 1, 2 and CD that he helped Sega put out. Those are pretty much classic sonic physics and engine at work in Sonic Mania. If it’s anything that’s giving you the CD vibe it’s probably some of the stage design and aesthetics. It’s fairly noticable in this vid.

The first part of the vid is a full Green Hill Zone run and the second is a full Studiopolis run. Taxman and co added more to the Green Hill Stage where the first few parts of it are the same as the classic stage then a minute or so in you start seeing some changes and then there’s a section they hit that definitely takes a page out of CD stage design. The difference here imo is that their section seems to actually flow a bit better than CD’s…I’m pretty sure they got a hiccup there because Green Hill is super straight forward so when the design tells you that you need to go in a different direction than you’ve been used to going in a classic stage then it’s probably going to mess with you. It’s pretty clear though that if they had gone with the flow they wouldn’t of stumbled in that section.

Animations in this game look so smooth. Looks like they also gave him a new ā€˜leaning over the edge’ animation.

Direct feed to the music

Title screen, Studiopolis, and invincibility. I don’t think they’re in that order though. Pretty sure it’s Title, invincible and Studiopolis. Didn’t they say Tee Lopes is helping with the music for this game? Pretty sure I heard that last night before I had to turn it off. Either way I’m digging Studiopolis.

Jools Watsham (Renegade Kid) offers his team to port Sonic Mania to 3DS

DO IT!

Thats cool they worked the figure 8 run into his max speed run animation instead of trying to make the useless super peel out work.

I dont like the spin animation when he hits a vertical spring tho Being nit picky as fuck

Game needs the 3k flash attack. Ie. Double jump invincibility.

You talking about the CD spring jump?

Studiopolis is my new favorite thing from modern games. <3

Let’s address some facts here.

-fuck the sonic adventures era.
-set an genesis era>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all eras after it.
-Sonic adventure and modern designs are fucking shit.

Yes

Fuck off.

Eat a dick

Are you guys seriously suggesting the sonic adventure era is good.

Yeah let’s pretend every post Genesis sonic game is good. Why else do you think sonic’s reputation has gone to shit in the last decade.

No we arent auggesting that, your just just not aayi by anything new. So shut the fuck up.

Who are you?

I’m not gonna waste my time on someone who made up their mind about anything post Genesis is shit.

Sonic Adventure was pretty good. Sonic Adventure 2 was pretty amazing attempt at a 3D sonic game. Everything after that was shite.

I think SA2 was okay. Not great. SA1 was shit.

I’m stoked for the game as anyone else but some of that Sonic CD level design I see worries me a bit. I know everyone and their dog nut rides Sonic CD but that game is in no way shape or form the pinnacle of 2D Sonic gaming or the best Sonic game. I don’t hate the game or even dislike it but Sonic CD’s level design is a a freaking mess for a lot of the zones. I get that they wanted to put more emphasis on exploration but Sonic CD’s levels did not go about it in the right way. Wacky Workbench is crap and just thinking of that zone makes my head hurt. As much as I wanted to like Stardust Speedway, all those springs that bounce you back and forth make me dread setting foot into the place. I’ve played through Sonic CD multiple times and even Christian Whitehead’s masterful programming did not make Sonic CD’s must frustrating levels any less painful to play through. If Sonic Mania can have zones similar to Sonic CD but avoid the BS of said game, I’ll be 100% groovy

As for Sonic’s design, I like his classic design but its not something I need. I’m fine with Sonic not having a pot belly and with green eyes. Sonic is Sonic classic design or modern.

Short!

Sorry, but my current hangout has been invaded by one of yours. Some shit that made no sense, asking for me to be banned, using no capital letters. Shit was the equivalent of XBOX Live/PSN Rage mail.

But because he was this upset at something of no consequence because he couldn’t put it together, lets provide some evidence and facts.

Extended cut: GENERATIONS

JChen smiled as he shouted out thanks to TOTINO’S PIZZA ROLLS, hehe, YEAH TOTALLY -UltraDavid quipped back, completely aware & in-cheek to their main sponsor, at the end of that December 2015 big money last SF4 Tournament ever Capcom Pro Tour finals. The wrap up part after matches probably isn’t really saved on demand footage anymore. There was a timestamp oddshot.tv that didn’t load for me.

Now that he’s calling you niggas for noticing the sponsor at the event pictures provided in kind to twitter snack handouts and Sonic’s actual chilidog, unhealthy problem, maybe why on stage there at the show he was so over it and ready to go home-

Don’t worry everybody who participated in the fun. I take full responsibility for your choice to LOL my post and upset him.

A poster with jealousy problems of this sort of the most inconsequential thing, from who even knows how to decipher his ā€œhate mailā€ What is this guy mad about, really, perhaps territory control? Invaded space? I have never seen anyone react like this to having fun with an image macro made quickly ( I did not make it) to add to and supplement an event in Real Life, that was happening in real time. Content for all to enjoy. Especially if you’re sitting at home and not at their event.

Who even knows. A full disconnect from reality and whatever was in his mind definitely didn’t reach the keyboard, or did it?

Combined with his other weird posts like the following -you may not have noticed & of course, not reacted to accordingly:

He may be in here looking for BIG’s D.

Jack Frost, the female Hedgehog.

You Sonic people are weird.

Sonic Adventure was pretty mediocre at best. Sonic’s stages were decent, but considering that there were other characters in the game with terrible levels it makes the game weak overall. Then there’s the issue with the Sonic levels being extremely linear.
