Sonic Mania collector's edition commercial

guys i bought this shit as soon as i saw it
am i autistic? i just want to play a good sonic game again

While others who like those might be, buying and playing video games doesn't make you autistic, user.

>that description

That's not cool man. I like having my actual physical copies.

>Does the game cartridge actually hold a Physical Copy?

IT'S GOING TO BE SHIT BECAUSE IT'S SONIC AND SONIC IS ALWAYS SHIT

>Alone on a Friday Night

that's how you make an ad

Nintendo can't even compete at this point. Sega indies + 1 guy who do sonic marketing in his free time is literally raping the giant Nintendo

>in his free time

>b-but i will greentext this so people become suspicious and they don't realize my attempt at cynicism

This is so fucking stupid and any retard who fines it funny is the reason cartoons and video games are shit nowadays. This type of humor is cancer.

>>cynicism

This is how you know a product is great. Nintendrones typical. It was like this when Colors was released and when Generations was released. The exact same cherry picking >b-but there is no.

its not modern sonic team so it will be fine

>Nintendo is the biggest and richest video game company in the world right now.
>Some shitty fangame that will get mediocre reviews and be lucky to break 100k sales is killing Nintendo.

Wew

Fuck off with your console war bullshit faggot.

>bashing a company so consumer friendly they are giving jobs to fans who made rom hacks of sonic games
>meanwhile posting a pic of a ceo from a company who do the exact opposite, forcing fans to remove fan made content and trying to steal money from people making videos of their games.

No wonder you hate this type of commercial. Nintendo doesn't mix well with being consumer friendly

I just want to say this: That was an awesome commercial. That's how this user feels.

>>Nintendo is the biggest and richest video game company in the world right now.

Damage control

God, I can't wait for this shitty decade to be over so this fucking 90's fad shit will die.

remember you need to be over 18 to post on this site

Apparently the chink is Sonic CD character designer Kazuyuki Hoshino.

Not gonna read too deep into it but maybe a hint on new character/s introduced in Mania?

Just like an anime fan on prom night.

Kazuyuki is a meme lord he's just in it for the bant. Look at his shirt it says Iizuka Fan club.

you wanna know what is bullshit? selling 8 bit shit mspaint games for 80s nostalgia manchild for 40 dollars

>Alone on a Friday night?
Since when did Sega start acknowledging Cred Forums? Could that actually work out for anyone?

That meme has been posted outside of this place, user.

...

>being this deluded

It doesn't have meme status at all, and it originated here.

Bear in mind that while Cred Forums may be the originator of many a may may, other sites like leddit, GameFAQs, NeoGAF, tumblr and the Youtube community as a whole eventually come to regurgitate anything made here.

...

...

You must be a very boring person.

That's a lie bro

Whatever helps you sleep at night, user.

>I like having my actual physical copies.

>PC games
>physical copies
>2016-17

I seriously hope people don't do this.

Not him, but if nintendo isn't the richest video game company then who is? It's definitely not Sega.

That meme has been spread everywhere at this point, along with Coldsteel, Sanic, Ow the Edge, etc. He did, however, acknowledge /sthg/ on Facebook a couple months back.

You want to play the funny guy? joke around? tell me a story? WHAT YOU DON'T STOP BREAKING MY BALLS?

Tencent
Sony
Microsoft
Activision Blizzard
EA
Apple
even square Enix

and SEGA is only 4 ranks behind Nintendo out of a chart of 25
so yeah, he lied and exaggerated

...

...

>lied and exaggerated: the definition of somone who is fan of Nintendo

...

wew

...

Tencent, Sony, and Microsoft, and Apple aren't video game companies.

why do Nintendofags feel so threatened by Mania

Nintendo's current generation console failed so horribly that it died out, now they're about to release another console for the same fucking generation the last one was supposed to live through.

They might be at least one of the richest video game companies, but they haven't been truly relevant in a long time.

Watching it on 144p makes it total legit

>not on muh platform
Although I'd kill for a Vita release.

Maybe their irrelevant on Cred Forums but everyone out in the real world knows what Nintendo is. Pokemon GO is consistently one of the top 10 things trending on Twitter and Facebook.

No you bucko, videotapes ran at 480i.

>no handheld release of mania

Didn't Pokemon GO lose millions of players in two weeks or so?

>Vita
>Killed by Sony themselves 2 years after the release

Be happy they still release waifu shovelware for it

>fan-club for the guy who directed shadow the hedgehog

Yes, but it still makes a lot of money.

Character choice wasn't the issue.
Although they should have just made it about Sonic.

actually he said in a interview a lot of kids were asking for guns

>We could have had a game about Eggman conquering the world

Why do always Sonicfags have to put Nintendo in everything?
Insecurity at it's finest

Because they're also Nintendofags.

What's with all these commercials with shamming virgins?

There are people on the internet who won't realize the reference, and will be screaming "MEMES REEEEEEEEEEE!!" at their monitor.

Not much I can take from your source less claim.
I understand if Sega wanted to bank on shooters and action games of the time but doing it with the Sonic brand was a stupid move.

Shining Force

that was a pretty stupid commercial. It didn't even say anything about the actual game or show any gameplay footage.

What the fuck are you talking about? No one mentioned Nintendo until this fucking faggot for some reason

>Still can't find good rips of the complete Shining The Holy Ark ost on Youtube anymore.

Fucking Sega.

There were actual sonic 2 commercials. This one was advertising the bundled purchase.

How is it any less stupid than Square and Sony getting away with CGI only commercials for Final Fantasy 7?

A handheld version would be pretty neat. I'd even take mobile, Taxman's ports play really well with a touchscreen

because the point of that commercial was to WOW the audience with graphics.

>didn't show any gameplay footage
>go to 13 seconds in
>see gameplay footage

So, you're a kid or a squid?

Buddy a lot of video game commercials were bizarre 20 years ago.

Why can't all commercials be this entertaining?

You forgot Crash

That'd be worse.

He's fucking dead.

Lol I may buy this cause it's probably the best sonic game released in Like forever.

No shitty gimmicks or characters and just the original trio with pure songs c action

Why do I find this more silly and like "Oh you guys?" but I find the like an anime fan like prom night thing to be cringe-inducing

Looks sick! Any release date/ systems though?

Serious question, how old are you?

It has been our guy for over a year now.

Apple isn't, but the first three sure as hell are.

LIVE

The jig is up webber

your dank memeing has gone far enough

Missed it. Did they say anything important?

>Iizuka confirmed that there'll be more Classic levels than new ones.

Fuck Sonic Team for hampering down Taxman and Stealth's work.

Izuka said "More classics than new zones".

Good. That's what I want. I don't care about a bunch of autists "ideas"

Friday night is the prom

>Good. That's what I want
That's not what I wanted

Nobody cares what you want.

Welp, Mania confirmed for shit then.

Hopefully they'll greenlight a Mania 2 and let them do 100% new zones next time like Taxman wants. Fucking corporate suits always have to be the ones to ruin everything.

Placed my order XB1

That's a little bit more than mildly annoying.

This. If Taxman and whoever else is making the game want more new content then they should make their own game instead of riding on the coattails of Sonic.

depends on what the ratio is

6 to 4 is still bretty gud.

Hasn't there been like 3 threads revolved around what classic levels they want to see in SM? It seems that refreshed classic levels from sonic 1-3&K are what a lot more fans want.

>Sonic 1
>Sonic 2
>Sonic 3
>Sonic CD
>Sonic & Knuckles

That leaves an outlier that'll get two zones if that's true.

>100% copypasted sonic 2 commercial
Fuck make your own damn thing

Taxman said a while ago it would be longer than Generations, so hopefully we'll be getting a good chunk of new levels.

it could be something like 6 old zones and 5 new ones or some this

Guys, is it true that Mania will have more recycled old stages than new ones?

I fucking hope not.

>Nipples Chaotix
>Sonic Spinball
>Wild Card: A GG game

I'm excited for the remixed stuff, but I want new stages more. Plus, it means more new music like Studiopolis the more new ones we get.

>that's how you make an ad
>just a copy of an existing add
Genesis really does what nintendont
youtube.com/watch?v=Yp4pg1bOEdM

you guys do know it's just the aesthetics right? They aren't just copy and pasting the old zones into the game

You're a little too late, but yeah. Unfortunately it's true.

He also said ghz is the tamest, so hopefully the classic zones will essentially be new zones

What if Aaron and Izuka announce level DLC?

They're literally not.

>SEGA makes bad Sonic games over and over for the last decade
>they finally get a team that knows what they're doing for a new game
>the only bad aspect about the game comes from SEGA's interference
It's like pottery

While I am bummed about the fact that there's more remixed zones than completely new ones, are we sure it was SEGA's decision and not Taxman's?

FUCKING GOD SEGA STOP PLAYING THIS NOSTALGIA PANDERING CARD ALREADY, IT'S REALLY ANNOYING THE SHIT OUT OF ME

>I'm too stupid to see a parody even when they beat me over the head with it

then why the fuck are you buying a new game?

Top left tweet

>defending rehashing
Ironic since Mania was confirmed to be a giant rehash

Longer than Generations in the amount of zones or time playing? Generations has 9 zones, 3 bosses, 3 rival bosses, and a final boss, IIRC.

That said Generations can be cleared in only 2-3 hours.

Because even virgins find it funny

As disappointing as it is, I'm not bothered that much by the ratio to new/old. The layout is completely different in the old zones anyway.

I'd love to see Mania's take on Ice Cap, Hydrocity and Chemical Plant.

Was that a How to Basic reference?

>NOSTALGIA PANDERING
You do know what kind of game Sonic Mania is right.

>They have their own dev studios
>They somehow aren't
alrighty

Because it's a 2D sonic game first and foremost.

>Chemical Plant

Can't we please avoid any more stages that were in Generations?

lay off him he is a adventure kiddie still mad he isn't being pandered to

If anything, I really hope that Green Hill having the old theme is just a starting point, and they let Tee Lopes have at it with some remixes of old zones. At least for the Act 2 stages.

Fucking hell, imagine this in there.
youtube.com/watch?v=TT_b3YU8SRk

Classic Amy is cute! CUTE

No fuck you it's my favorite zone.

meaning that he wants more shit like Studiopolis and not Casino Night and Stardust Speedway again

Apparently all this was confirmed on stream.

>More Classic levels than new ones.
Sonic, Tails and Knukles only playable,
>No hidden unlockables, no Mighty/Ray etc.
>There is a new item in the game not used before.
RIP THE AMY DREAM

Just like the entirety of 2D Mario games. Not an argument at all, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Like SEGA did since Adventure.

You got it in Generations though. They'd be better served remixing something else from 2. Like Mystic Cave.

You're going to get Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Stardust Speedway, Hydro City and Sky Sanctuary and you're going to like it.

I'm conflicted about this. While most of the levels are confirmed rehashes, the new levels, music, and artwork go beyond something like Mega Man 9/10 that stuck to the original system limitations as much as they could.

No, you moron.

I want a sweet remix by Tee Lopes, faggot.

Oh well, maybe in a sequel. For now there's the modded versions of Sonic 1, 2, and 3, and maybe she'll be modded into Mania.

It had better not be fucking Sky Sanctuary. Flying Battery or bust.

No Zone apart from maybe Angel Island from Sonic 3 will be in the game because of the Michael Jackson music.

Mods user. Someone post the sonic 3 Amy mod webm

>Sonic, Tails and Knukles only playable,

it was a test stream

why are you telling lies on the internet again user

>Mania confirmed for shit
They'd have to introduce new alternate gameplay modes, have fully voiced dialog, and hand the full development over to Sonic Team for it to be shit.

Here

youtube.com/watch?v=8F-_mN6uyJs

You do realize that MJ/BB didn't do the entire fucking soundtrack, right?

Hydrocity is one of those zones.

Anyone else wish only Sonic was playable? I feel like the level design would be way better if it only focused on sonic

An official remix by Tee Lopes

>Generations can be cleared in only 2-3 hours
Sonic 3K can be cleared in under 1 hour, so that's pretty good if it's a 2-3 hour long classic Sonic experience.

...

>Alone on a friday night?
They fucking know

>taxman has a mobile port with his engine ready to be released but due to the mj copyright issues with his family he can't release it.
Fuck mj's family so much.

>BUT WAIT, IT COMES WITH A GAME TOO!
whoever wrote this deserves a fucking raise

>No Amy despite fans asking for her

>No Fang despite fans asking for him, yet again

I fucking hate Sega. Maybe this game will sell enough so that Taxman and friends can have more creative control over a sequel.

please tell me there is a super amy. If there is I will download the mod right now

But it has official in the video title.

I hear you though, it's the main reason I really want Hydrocity.

I'm sure that this would be possible as either DLC or in a sequel if Mania does well enough to warrant one.

Does Sega not own the fucking music? Why the fuck does this shit happen?

Plus, didn't MJ not want his name on it in the first place? How would he, or his family, have a say in it?

That's what I'm hoping. I'm still looking forward to Mania but I wanted more of a brand new 2D game. Now it feels more like a Sonic Generations 2 just with accurate physics.

Doing something new with an old formula isn't the same as rehashing old stages... AGAIN!

For fuck sakes, I'm mad.

I don't really care for the Adventure games, though.

Hardly anyone knows who Nack is.

I wouldn't go that far. It will still have new zones, and i'm sure it'll be a lot more replayable than Generations was. Or at least not have as many outright shit sections, much as I like Generations.

what
have they seriously not shown any new zones besides studiopolis?

the blind hype around this game is bizarre

Nobody remembered the Chaotix, but they were brought back.

The hype isn't blind
It plays amazing

That's like COD showing every map of the campaign before release. No one does that..

the Chaotix were in Sonic Heroes and in Sonic X

Are you for fucking real

Im not buying this shit till its half off now. Theres always ALWAYS fucking something with these games! Buy the new 2D sonic game...oh no the levels are mostly old ones. Buy the new 3D sonic game...oh wait 80% of the game is played in 2D.

Fuck sega, theyll never learn. Unleashed will always be the final game in the series to me

>made by fans who have shown they know how to handle classic sonic

>blind hype

The Chaotix were brought back during a time when people wouldn't spaz out over there being a Sonic character beyond Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Eggman.

They also haven't been relevant since Ow The Edge.

>Blind hype

I miss Charmee

Sega only owns 1/3rd of the music I believe. Mushroom zone and hydrocity are confirmed them.

Just because he didn't want his name attached doesn't mean he didn't own the license. It's like the same thing when people leave themself uncredited in a movie. They still own the rights to their performance if they ever decide to rerelease the film in the future they have to be paid for it. Since mj is dead all distribution rights go through his family or whoever he entrusted the rights to his work until the copyright has ended. Copyright law is shit copyright is shit

>More classics than new zones
God damn it. A bit of a blow to the hype, this is.

At least the game will still be good, and hopefully it'll sell well enough for Sega to let Taxman, Stealth and the others make something more original.

It's not blind hype. The game plays amazingly and the devs know what they're doing. Literally the only thing that is upsetting people is due to SEGA's meddling, not due to any faults with the gameplay.

Just imagine if the before the sequel dev got a job instead of taxman

How did Chris-chan react to Mania and Generations 2?

No, please no.

Now whoever the fuck did the music for that game or Tee Lopes...that's a toss up.

The only music Sega doesn't own is the music that was replaced in the PC port. Unfortunately that includes Ice Cap, which is generally highly regarded.

Oh goddamit

That'd be pretty shit.

Pc port as in the sega classics edition on steam? What else was replaced

You can't even compare the two, B/AtS was done by a whole team of composers.

Tee Lopes got the job in the end, though.

What was put in their place?

Ah, didn't know it was multiple people. B/AtS have massive problems, but the soundtrack is GOTY. Tee Lopes is fucking amazing too though, and more impressive in that he's just one guy I suppose.

>Pc port as in the sega classics edition on steam?
No, he means the Sonic & Knuckles Collection for PC from 1996. It changed a couple tracks (Carnival Night Zone, Ice Cap Zone, Launch Base Zone, Knuckles' theme, the Competition menu, and the credits music).

>guaranteed replies

>Sega was able to get the composer for Sonic 1 and 2 to agree to use his tracks for Generations again

>They can't do it with MJ

Is it because of how controversial he became after 1994 or is his family made up of larger-than-usual dipshits?

You can actually look this up yourself by searching "sonic 3 pc music" on YouTube. They're not badly composed, but this was back in the days when most PC games used MIDI or FM Synth instead of actual real music so it all sounds off compared to the Genesis.

MJ's father in law is a notorious piece of shit, so I'm sure he has something to do with it.

Oh shit,thanks anons

>or is his family made up of larger-than-usual dipshits?
Yup.

She might be in the game with an actual good role, though. Like a cameo, or something to do with a menu.

They have Genesis remixes in Sonic 3 Complete that all sound pretty good at least.

youtube.com/watch?v=kpjwtMEqj8Y

youtube.com/watch?v=kBkp6rYq1sY

youtube.com/watch?v=00FXdX-mr6E

Taxman actually did official work for Sega so that wouldn't happen

First off, they pay royalties to Nakamura every time they use music from Sonic 1 and 2, including rearranges and remixes. This is part of the reason why Chronicles' music sucked, because they wanted to use remixes of classic Sonic tracks without realizing that Sega doesn't actually own that music royalty-free. The ones from 3D Blast survived, but the ones from Sonic 1, 2 and 3 had to be hastily redone.

Second, it's not actually MJ, it's everyone else. Look at the music credits for Sonic 3 some time: Brad Buxer, Bobby Brooks, Darryl Ross, Geoff Grace, Doug Grigsby III, Scirocco Jones. So not only are you dealing with six people instead of just one, but some of those names are pretty fucking huge in the world of pop music production, which should be obvious considering they worked with Michael fucking Jackson. Thus, they'd command more for each of the songs they contributed to then they'd have to pay Nakamura for all of his.

That's what he's talking about, dipshit.

Maybe some people want something in the vein to Sonic 2 to 1, Sonic 3 & Knucks to 2, CD to all three. A Sonic game with completely new zones and not the same zones like Green Hill all the time, by the way Green Hill got remade how many times now.

Whats that? You want new zones? Well youre clearly an adventure or boost autist and need to fuck off the general you comic posting friend fucking faggot! Fuck you green hill for life!

Obviously they'd have to pay more, but Sega is still a company that should be able to afford it.

All games have a budget, user. Why pay millions just to reuse a couple of songs when they can just reuse songs that they actually own?

>No Amy
Fucking dammit

>Wild Card: A GG game
Will it be ___EZ__?

>more classic stages than new ones
>no other playable characters besides Sonic, Tails and Knuckles who we already played as in Sonic 3

Yeah my hype is no more, this game will be a 7/10 at best.

>Talk about loving Sonic 1, 2, 3, and CD
>Get called an Adventure fag
What?

I downloaded all compilations from Sonic 1-3&K for PC and all of them are not good until the mega collection was released around 2004-2005.

even so the mega collection doesn't have 100% good audio quality emulation
The "best" is the iOS but it's not on PC so I guess the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is the best one

Why though? Useless litter

>sega can afford it
Sega is always hurting for money

Guys we were not going to get Amy

get outta here false flagger
fuck you

The hell are you talking about?

Don't forget
>not pulling a Sonic 2, 3&K, and CD and having ONLY new Zones

Not him but i agree

Were essentially paying for a remix pack of old levels with a handful of new levels tossed in otherwise no one would buy it. I had high hopes for this game but they went for a very reserved and safe approach. Shouldve been all new zones, maybe translate zones from 3D games into 2D if they had to bring back old levels, make sprites for characters like shadow, rouge, blaze, bring back amy etc

The game will look and play good but it wont be any better than a 7 at this point, just because of some very safe approaches. Project sonic is going to suck as well since sonic team has sucked for years. This day ruined my hope and hype for future sonic games.

user, I believe he was being sarcastic.

Someone should strangle Iizuka until his neck snaps. Anyone here willing to do jail time?

Oh, well I apologize then

>>more classic stages than new ones
This is pretty sad. Let's hope they get to make a 100% original Sonic game some time.

>>no other playable characters besides Sonic, Tails and Knuckles who we already played as in Sonic 3
This doesn't matter in the slightest, in fact it's a good thing. Sonic isn't a series for a lot of playable characters, it's a series for exploring all kinds of new and interesting places that require you to use Sonic well.

>sonic team has sucked for years

Another Nintendrone at Sonic thread. Answers like this happen since Sonic Colors. You guys know Sega Team makes better games. Sonic games have better music, better graphics, better gameplay (except for the wii motion gimmicks exclusives Secret Rings and Black Knight). You guys know it and you try to play the "I love Sonic I do but THIS time I'm not excited"

every time is the same pattern.

I hate nintendo. Sonic teams last good sonic game was unleashed and half of generations. The last good sonic game on a nintendo console was sonic rush adventure. I grew up with sonic starting from 1996. In 2010 they changed the sonic i knew completely with the change of writers and stories. The games got shorter and the level design got worse, blockier, more 2D. There has been endless attempts to "go back to the basics" and make 2D games heavily inspired by nostalgia.

The sonic I knew, a cocky hero always running off into the future looking for his next adventure, has been absent since 2010. Todays news of mania being more of a rehash is the straw that breaks the camels back to me.

Shut the fuck up

>hates colors
discard your life

t. SEGA shitter mad that his company and franchise are dead.

>liked unleashed
>hated colors
stop being so fucking retarded user

It's Unleashedfag, he posts like this constantly, don't reply to him.

>Another Nintendrone at Sonic thread

A few minutes later

>SEGA shitter mad that his company and franchise are dead.

Go replay colors. Everything after act 1 is garbage and the act 1s arent anywhere near as good as unleasheds day levels.

where has this gif been all my life

Really, you should watching it 480, but put it in full screen.

...

How does this even begin to make sense? If i was a nintendrone id be defending colors and calling it the best. Unleashed and generations are flawed but at least theyre real sonic games

You're full of shit that's what you are
Colors is great
Finished it yesterday. Despite relative easy boss some great action/platforming. I wish it had more 3D stages but overall it's a solid 8.5/10 and better than Mario Galaxy

I have to agree with the guy. Unleashed was a fine game. Colors was meh. Unleashed's levels are just tighter and flow and feel really good. Color feels cumbersome and slow and stop&go.

Cool, i finished it in november 2010 and never wanted to touch it again. No one is fucking bringing up mario and nintendo except you

Jesus Christ are they not going to tease the other stages?

I know its only been known about for 3 months but come on give us bare minimum 3 seconds of something not Studiopolis or Green Hill

Sorry pal, you're not allowed to prefer Unleashed in this climate. Colors is the greatest Sonic game of all time. Go back to the Sega forum or wherever you came from.

I'm just comparing a overhyped motion gimmick to a real game

Add me to the list. Unleashed was great, Colors was fun but it just fell flat compared to SU.

Ok then....ill let you do that but for the record i said the last good sonic game on a nintendo was sonic rush adventure back in 2007. as long as we got that clear then you can keep comparing sonic colors and mario galaxy in your head all you want

Because Sega is a bro-tier company unlike the other one

Man it's great seeing Sega going back to their roots and bringing back the fun banter to vidya

all I want is to nintendrones to get out of this thread

they are obsessive about Mario and keep spreading lies and console war.

Bringing up Mario Galaxy is a good way to detect them

Yes nintendrones are a menace to sonic, but i am not one. I actually got a wii just for sonic colors back then and was so disappointed

Is this making fun of collector's editions in general?

>here have a bunch of useless plastic for your entertainment

They might be trying to keep some zones secret for release.

I have no idea why. I played it many times since 2011 but never finished until yesterday. I miss my CRT to be quite honest because I remember the game in 2011 playing in glorious tube.
Most wii games in LCD/LED tvs feel empty, lifeless. That aside the game was good, not as good as Unleashed day time missions but still a good game considering the Unleashed I'm comparing to is the 360/PS3 version.

They pretty much revealed all the zones in Generations right away though. Why keep them secret for this game?

>They

Because the zones in Generations were chosen by a public Japan only poll and the ones in Mania aren't.

I updated this again for everyone. I kind of trimmed some of the extra things they said to get to the main point though which I hope no one minds.

Really? For 6 months we're not going to know anything about the game and what stages there are?

What do you think?

>but wait, there's also a game!

I knew these guys were insufferable faggots. They honestly believe they know more about Sonic than the actual people who have worked on the franchise for decades.. Fuck this game and fuck the people supporting this shit.

...

The only one that is somewhat insufferable is Stealth. Taxman seems like a cool, chill dude.

Oh wait, you're shitposting again. Nevermind.

>it originated here
I bet you're the sort of retard who thinks "daily dose" wasn't said before Cred Forums made it a meme.

How am I shitposting you dumbfuck. Those tweets speak for themselves.

...

hi Taxman.

both are great, don't listen to Cred Forums trying to push "Those guys are this and that"

People here are TMZ tier

He's obviously talking about Cred Forums.

They are Sonic fans. Why would you think anything else? Ever heard of Chris-chan?

That post he made claiming that other people are just jealous was pretty high school tier though. Doesn't do good for his image.

@352458667

(You)

bla bla bla behaving like a kid watch more on tmz live dot com bla bla bla

they fucked up

I expected it to be a 90s commercial for a new game, complementing the graphics and how radical and intense it is

instead we get a household item commercial

its a game, why didn't they make it a game commercial?

see

it's not an actual commercial

being a nintendo fan, it almost makes me angry to see how fucking cool sega is being with this fanmade game

is the more old zones really fucking iizukas fault? im so tired of this clown

what games did he work on and what games did he not work on? for reference

Because they will do for Sonic Mania 2

youtube.com/watch?v=mK0OFsWWzu4

Sure, but I just want clarification.

>Mfw Sonic Mania 2 gets a commercial like this when the successor to NSMB releases/is announced
It better fucking happen.

Who in Sonic Team has been there since before Adventure?

We don't know if it was specifically Iizuka but we know for sure it wasn't Taxman because he was quoted as saying he wanted to make something new and is also tired of Green Hill clones.

My guess is that SEGA only agreed to let them make Mania if the game had a bunch of old zones too since they didn't have enough faith in them being able to sell a completely new game without chucking in a bunch of nostalgia.

I'm still going to buy Mania though in the hopes that its success will convince them to let the team make something 100% original next time.

>They honestly believe they know more about Sonic than the actual people who have worked on the franchise for decades
Because they do.

Naka was a programmer, not a game designer. Iizuka was a minor bit player. All of the important people who made Sonic good were gone from Sonic by the time Adventure rolled around. If you're talking about making a classic-style 2D game, which Mania is, then I'd sure as hell trust fans more than the current Sonic Team.

I'm not sure if the cucks at the Sega of Japan would allow it but it would be epic

You guys don't get it. Sonic Mania is copying the ad they did for Sonic The Hedhog 2

Minute 5:00

what a joke. i'll wait till its on sale then.

>Naka was a programmer, not a game designer
>exactly like Taxman
>Taxman is the second coming of Yuji Naka
>mfw when we're looking at the ressurgence of the original Sonic trilogy where Mania 1 is just okay, Mania 2 is pretty baller, and Mania 3 and Knuckles is perfection given physical form.

Sega is going to make so much money out of this.

Announce it for Xbone/PS4/PC. Give it a low budget, likely under a million. Sell it for $25 each and sell shitloads of Limited Editions to autists

Then do an iPhone/Android port 6 months later to sell it to a million normies at $5 each.

Iizuka. But I don't think he counts since he doesn't know anything about anything

Jun Senoue has also been there since Sonic 3.

Much of gaming went to shit when games became big enough that professional "game designers" replaced developers. Designers ruin everything.

can someone plz answer what he worked on and what he wasnt involved with?

which one is better?

1996: youtube.com/watch?v=xtqgkPCEIP8

how long has youtube had the rollover preview stolen from porn sites?

>the collectors edition comes with what's clearly a cock ring
What the fuck?

According to this guy who works at SEGA of America, we shouldn't be mad about this for very long.

Hype train back on track?

>not Sonic Mania 3 & Fang

how its delivered is important, also
this

This is what I was hoping to hear. How much of a difference do you think they'd put in the old level's assets? Will we really see something like a crashed-death egg zone?

you guys realize you make every good and fun game look like a piece of trash? you exaggerate every single fault any game has and you talk about it for months until you and everyone see video games as something uninterested and depressive?

what about Sonic Mania 3 & Blaze

why the hell is the poll Japan only if Sonic is most popular in the west

No matter how popular something is elsewhere, Japan will always care most about Japan first and foremost.

A shame the game won't get an actual physical release, but this edition is frucking fantastic tbqh.

These guys hear our cries and answer our prayers.

Fuck Blaze. Amy or bust.

Sega is the king of cheesy bants in commercials

>wanted the collector's edition since I figured it'd have a physical copy of the game
>it's just a usb card with a game code on it

that commercial was pretty good though and I mean, I'm gonna buy it anyway, but shit man I just wanted a nice thing for my shelf of vidya. I don't give a fuck about a statue, if I did I'd just buy the nendo or something.

>I just wanted a nice thing for my shelf of vidya
That's what the box is for.

>that first english commercial

literally Cred Forums

I haven't been keeping tabs on mania but I hope if they're gonna keep bringing back "classic" levels (when all I want is new shit) they at least have the balls to do some out-there things, like the cut desert stage from CD or maybe some knuckles chaotix references since nobody fucking remembers that game. Even if they just stick to dickriding the first three/CD I hope they don't pick all the obvious, safe choices. I'm really fucking tired of playing Green Hill in every anniversary game and while I know that's coming I don't want just a retread of what Generations did. Give me like, I dunno, Quartz Quadrant or Star Light Zone.

Or you know just give me more original stages because Studiopolis looked like the coolest shit ever.

>1996

So is it official and not jus tme making shit up that Mania is meant to look and feel like a Saturn sonic game? Because it fucking looks and feels like a Saturn sonic game would. kinda like freedom planet did

>like the cut desert stage from CD

That's from the CD remake, and it was kinda playable in its unfinished state, so don't count too much on it being in Mania.

>or maybe some knuckles chaotix references

Already there, like the combi ring.

LIGHTS

The Saturn inspiration came straight from Taxman's mouth. Look here.

Awesome

Maybe I'm just tired of everyone trying to appeal to nostalgia with 8 and 16 bit games (and doing a shit job of it at that) but fifth-gen 2D game-aesthetics are something that are seriously underutilized in the indie scene.

digital is better. You'll play it on your upgraded consoles down the line without worrying about the condition of physical media.

Indie games mostly do 8-bit stuff because they can't do decent pixel art for shit.

This is damage control 101. No matter how you cut it, youre going to see very familiar names, see very familiar backgrounds and graphics, and hear very familiar songs. Its a remix game more than a new game

we'llll just have to wait and see

This is the kind of stuff that is gold. But unfortunately theres not going to be much of it since youre going to read very familiar names, see very familiar backgrounds and graphics, and hear very familiar songs

Name a 2D/3D platformer where this isn't true.

In the trailer we are presented to two of the zones that we know thar will be playable in the game:

Green hill zone and Studiopolis zone

But, in the trailer we can se short glimpses of another zone. It has a golden like flor, and the background has some tv's in it. what made me think that it was studiopolis, but it actually wasn't. So, guys did y'all saw it?? Which name it will have??

and in the trailer we can see aquatic ruin and flying batery zones. Do you think that they will be present in mania??

Sonic 1
Sonic 2 (not counting the obvious green starting level)
Sonic 3 (not counting the obvious green starting level)
Sonic and Knuckles (not counting the obvious green starting level)
Sonic CD (not counting the obvious green starting level)
Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Heroes (not counting the obvious green starting level)
Sonic 06
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Colors

All he's implying is the remixed levels will still have mostly original level design, which we already know. Green Hill 1 is supposed to be the most tame when compared to its source, and even that is mostly brand new level design.

This is just going to be another Generations where the level design is 99% brand new but people still complain because the levels are called "Green Hill" and "Chemical Plant" instead of "Flowery Foothills" and "Radioactive Reactor", except the complaining will be worse because there will still be X-1 original levels.

>"Flowery Foothills"
I like it. I'm stealing this name.

We know the level design is going to be new

The problem is the graphics and music is the same at the end of the day, no amount of classic autism will be able to overcome this argument. Generations was more novel because it was a new concept for an anniversary game at the time and past levels were being remade in 3D HD with the Hedgehog Engine. Sonic Teams game is actually just Generations 2 while Mania is going to be more of a rehash than anything new. This series is creatively bankrupt at this point

But you know what's really disappointing? This means less new themes from Tee Lopes. I like his remixes but Studiopolis is on a whole different level. I want more of that. And now I'm not getting as much of that as I thought I would.

You've done your thing, you can go now.

>graphics and music mean more than gameplay
Fuck off.

Like I said, no amount of classic autism can beat reality, sorry bud.

>graphics > gameplay
you enjoying your copy of no mans sky?

Good thing NMS has neither.

>caring about gameplay in a video game is autism
Do you by any chance write for Polygon?

Not an argument.

>I win the argument because I say I do

>graphics are more important than gameplay in a video game
Not an argument.

Not arguments.

POST YFW THERE'S MORE CLASSIC THAN NEW BECAUSE TAXMAN ACTUALLY WENT AND MADE ALL THE SONIC 3 MULTIPLAYER STAGES (Endless Mine, Chrome Gadget, etc.) FULL ZONES

cuz it's based on this. Sega is known to be memers too.

It's Studiopolis, watch closely.

>Sonic 1

You must be the smartest of your group.

>Sonic 2 (not counting the obvious green starting level)
>Sonic 3 (not counting the obvious green starting level)
>Sonic and Knuckles (not counting the obvious green starting level)

You mean they didn't have the pinball stage, the underwater stage, the contraptions stage, the scripted rocky stage, the whatever else featured in the previous one stage? The only new thing Sonic 2 did was Sky Chase, since Wing Fortress was based on a scrapped idea from the first Sonic (but was featured in the SMS port).

Sonic CD had also its fair share of familiar stuff, maybe even more so than the other sequels (which were mostly copypaste), but it did everything in its own original style. Everything in the series is based on recurring cliches. What we've seen of Sonic mania doesn't look familiar at all to me. It may look like mashed-potato tier of elaborateness, but I'm not complaining for the "been seen/heard" aspect. Please stop projecting your insecurity into this thread.

i would actually love that

>the original price is the Sonic 1 release date

>It's Studiopolis, watch closely.

i'm sure it isn't. i watched a bunch of gameplays and none of them showed thouse sections. But it can still be an act 2, but it's not the studiopolis in the demo.

When you read Lava Reef as the level loads, see rocks and lava making up the background, and hear lava reefs theme, you would need to be on really hard drugs or alcohol, or just straight up delusion, to convince yourself youre playing a brand new stage. Im a sonic fan but this is nsmb defending tier. Weve been force fed nostalgia bullshit for years at this point. Creativity has always been one of sonics strong points and it just kinda quietly fell into the shadows. Let me guess, you were one of the retards who got butthurt at sonic 4s levels but are now defending these literal rehashes

Literally you're saying is they could do exactly this, but change the name and music and it'd be completely different. Which means you think gameplay is less important than non-gameplay. For a video game. This is stupid.

>Creativity has always been one of sonics strong points and it just kinda quietly fell into the shadows.

More like it completely fell off the face of the Earth when the 2010s rolled around.

People were made at Sonic 4 because the level design was shit, the controls were shit, the physics were shit, the graphics looked like melted plasticine, and the music sounded like Chronicles music put through a shitty MIDI filter. Mania is going to have good controls, good physics, good level design (so far), good-looking graphics, and outstanding music, and you're complaining because of names.

This was a hack I wanted to see happen for a long time.

Imagine fucking Chrome Gadget or Endless mine.

Then imagine a Tee Remix.

Sonic 4 at least had new names and music for its levels. Changing the name of the level really wouldnt affect the "gameplay" god you fucking faggots are so cringe inducing to read

Thats true, sonic colors was the last original sonic game. I guess they can just remake green hill and friends forever because classic autists will eat up any shit thats on their plate

The levels in Colors were all creative, you can't deny that Unleashedfag.

>i'm sure it isn't.

It is, how blind do you have to be? This game is supposed to have lots of branching paths, it just means gameplays didn't show that part.

>But it can still be an act 2

Which would look exactly the same as act1.

So you admit that you literally only care about what a level's name is and that alone is ruining a game for you.

What the fuck is wrong with you mentally.

>Sega is known to be memers too
I think it's just Aaron. Well, him and his team of meme seekers anyhow.

Theres no reasoning with autists. In your defected brain, you dont see the problem with playing the same thing forever. When people want and expect to see new things in a new game, you see that as a flaw. Alright then, I give up since you're mentally abnormal and performing repetitive tasks pleases the autistic.

I'm talking about with 2D games. Never even got the chance to play Unleashed.

> you dont see the problem with playing the same thing forever.
good thing the level layout is completely different

We're talking about video games. VIDEO GAMES. The gameplay is the most important part of a video game, and the gameplay is going to be something like 95% brand new, but in your warped neurotic mind it's a complete rehash simply because of level names.

Can someone recommend me a good and comfy website to watch sonic cartoons?

Sonic 4's problem was being just plain shit. I can't believe I'm replying to this tripe.

You are really retard or baiting

Probably both. Now go back to your talk about half-a-presses

Watchcartoononline? Iunno.

>No actual physical version of the game.

>PC autists push the blu ray drive worthless, waste money meme
>digital only is the future
>complain when there is no disc

Not even a PC autist. The PS4 or Xbone version could at least have a disc with the game on it.

...

there is a cartridge
put high on your shelf and pretend the game is there. Or buy a 2 dollar USB and copy the installer there. Put the USB inside the box and there you go.
