Amy Mania is a really fantastic mod. Even has edited ending cinematics and stuff. And the spritework for Amy is top-notch, just looks totally official. Her moveset is a ton of fun in Sonic Mania.

I’m sure there will be a Mania successor at some point, but probably not for another 4 or 5 years. Evening Star’s just gotta finish their 3D game and Iizuka wants classic Sonic to be a special thing, probably just for anniversaries.

at this rate a mainline 3D Sonic game not being lovely is a special occasion, too. Generations is a decade old. Even if Frontiers ends up being good, it'll have been 11 years since the last good one

PS4/Xbox One generation only got one mainline 3D Sonic game. If Sonic Frontiers is open world they better skip those consoles.

I’m pretty sure the game has already been confirmed as coming out for those consoles as well.

They announced it for Switch as well so expect that to be a poo poo show. At this point I don't know who is still buying these Switch versions other than Youtubers who make a living by creating videos showing off how bad Switch ports are.

I like getting switch ports because I like having portable versions of games. :shobon:

I didn't mind the Switch version of Forces, though yeah the Colors Ultimate stuff was wild and I didn't get that one.

I think the Switch versions of every multiplatform Sonic release has sold much more than on other platforms. The new one’s Switch port is probably a priority.

It wasn't the priority for the last two games, or a ton of other games for which the Switch version was obviously going to be big.

I’d like to imagine it’ll have more thought after Colors but then I remember this is Sonic Team we’re talking about here.

Hail to the King, baby.

I understand from a business perspective why they have to make a Switch version of all these games, but Sonic Team hasn't been a good or even competent game developer in a long time, and unfortunately I think the Switch hardware limitations are holding them back. It would be nice if they could focus on making a game for more powerful hardware but that will definitely not happen, and even if it did, they made Sonic 2006 for only next-gen systems at the time.

I’m glad they’re making Switch stuff since I only have that for a newer console and would like to at least to give it a try.

Yeah, for that last reason, ('06) I don't think power is the problem. But maybe having too many target platforms doesn't help them.

IMO the issues seem to be rushing releases to hit targets, and more personally, I think the fact they don't really just double down on success/focus on what works?

Like, you sort of see a little bit of that in Unleashed and Generations, with Generations using the good part of Unleashed for it's Modern Design, but then the next game goes in a totally new direction.

i finished amy mania plus, both encore mode and a run through mania mode so i could actually spend an appreciable amount of time as the titular character lol. encore mode is a blast, i decided pretty early on to smash every character swap monitor i could and just roll with it, and i can't really imagine playing that mode any other way. the changes made to the metal sonic fight kinda blow but otherwise, incredibly good top tier sonic

Well, they wanted to have 06 on the Wii as well. That was, in fact, a major issue in its development.

There is absolutely no reason they would skip PS4/Xbox One, the new consoles are barely trickling into people's hands, open world games have been perfectly viable since PS3 days, and I doubt Frontiers will go at the speed of the boost games. It'll probably be closer to the Adventure games in speed; if Unleashed was difficult enough to fill out the world then they aren't even going to attempt it for an open world game.

I really want to believe this. But I know that it'll be more of a Ps2 / Wii version than anything. Or if they do somehow get the full game on Switch, it might be one of those streaming game situations. And I'd just rather get an actual hard copy on ps4 at that point.

The hell, trying to even remotely justify that Penders owns Scourge is hard enough, when Penders did not create him in anyway.

We’re at the point where just a mainline game is a special occasion. The last major game was Forces, and before that it was Lost World. Like, these gaps would be perfectly fine if the games were good, but like you said…Generations was a decade ago.

It’s depressing how much better Unleashed looks than Forces when it’s almost a decade older. I’m not just talking about this new boosted Xbox version too.

Also lol at that new Penders poo poo. Who the gently caress are actually fans of his.
