One disappointing thing Super Tails & Knuckles still just do the white flashing they did in S3&K, with maybe some subtle color changes. And no new animations beyond the transformation. I assume this is a Sega decision, because I imagine the team would have been eager to make cool new sprites and animations for the two.

You could probably run it on a Saturn, albeit with the resolution of that time and plenty of framerate drops like in the old Genesis games when poo poo gets busy. If I recall, the Saturn was pretty good at handling sprite. What Mania did was good, however. Like Shovel Knight, it's just trying to capture that era of graphics while adhering to the technical standards of today (widescreen, consistent framerate, etc.). I remember hating all the slow down in S3&K in the Sonic gems collection.

Man, just get Tee Lopes to replace the disputed tracks in S3. Yeah, it sucks to lose them, but the replacements will kick rear end and we get another kickass remaster. (Also modders will inevitably put the original tracks back in)

I've been trying to find this on my own, but come up empty-handed. Does anyone have an explanation for why the original Sonic theme from 1 & 2 never became an enduring thing? I know it has something to do with royalties that Sega doesn't want to pay for every game, but they do dip into on occasion like for Generations. Seemed weird they didn't also go for it with Mania.

The weirdest thing about Forces is that it was delayed a year from Sonic's 25th anniversary and yet that extra time doesn't seem apparent. It also feels like we've seen less of Forces than Generations by this point in their marketing. Almost as if they know how underwhelming it is. But maybe it's a side effect of releasing two games so close together.

Detective No. 27 posted:Sonic being in Brawl was amazing. It's a shame he wasn't any fun to play as. It sucks because his moveset is pretty dull, and it's unlikely to change since that would require going over it with Sega and eat up dev time.

From last page, I do remember an episode of the cartoon revolving around Robotnik stealing Sonic's shoes so he couldn't run without getting friction burns. Unrelated, but does anyone know what inspired monitors as item boxes?

To get here, i wouldn't be surprised if Forces missed the 25th anniversary so Mania could release beforehand and both minimize focus on Forces and get people feeling confident enough in the franchise again to take a gamble. Not to say it's a Boom or '06, but nothing after the announcement of the OC creator has really gotten me interested in the game.

Honestly Forces would have had a good plot if it was self-aware and throwing in the overly dramatic poo poo as a nod to the series' past. Overly edgy poo poo like Infinite with self-aware humor would have made for a simple, solid story. Corny poo poo like, Sonic has been taken prisoner and is being tortured, but the torture is the drowning countdown music being played over and over in his cell. I honestly thought that was the direction we were going given the Twitter account, the ability to make OC, and so forth...but I dunno. I'm more curious in the tone of Forces than where Mania fits in the Zelda timeline.

While I don't personally mind the Modern gameplay switching to 2D for segments, it does feel very superfluous when Classic is already a part of the game's core modes. It makes it seems like they have no real confidence in how Modern Sonic plays and just toss in 2D bits as filler.

is it me or is the music for Classic Sonic just really poo poo in the game? Like the modern/OC tracks are at least decent, and everything in Classic I've heard sounds like maybe a notch above Sonic 4's soundtrack.

whoops This was a mistake post, but I'll say that Sonic Forces is bad and I'll still buy it because the OC is good.

Yes, you can rig up a way to play Sonic 1/2 on your pc, that these ports remain mobile is bewildering. At least with Sonic 3 you can claim rights issues with the Jackson estate. Although now you could just have Tee Lopes do new music

DizzyBum posted:I forget what happens during the second half of the game if you fail to get all the Emeralds before Mushroom Hill. I think you continue on as normal and you can still try to get all 7 before Hidden Palace. Do you get locked out of the Super Emeralds? It's been a long time. It does make the cutscene with Knuckles in Mushroom Hill confusing. EDIT: Actually, I guess you can technically game over in S3&K. What happens when you run out of continues?

I’ve gotten a game over, but the game vomits continues and saves them. So I never saw a an actual Game Over. I also was afraid that running out of continues would erase your save file, so I never dared try it. No, getting a game over on a throwaway save file never occurred to Young Me.

Amy in Sonic Advance was an interesting take since she couldn’t spin when jumping or pressing down, so you had to manually attack. Not sure if her hammer abilities were a worthwhile tradeoff, but it’s something worth building off.

Sonic Forces feels like a game that was rushed to completion, but unlike ‘06 they knew better and made sure it was polished enough and priced properly. Which led to a complete game, but one that felt short and lacking in mechanics or cohesion.

The only time I was truly stuck in 2D Sonic was Sonic 2, and that’s because it’s two bosses back-to-back and you never get any rings. And probably more because having to fight Silver Sonic every god time time was annoying. I don’t recall straight-up Game Overing that much, but just getting bored and figuring I had better things I could do with my time. Also, I think the Death Egg Robot took way the hell too many hits to beat.

Is that why bonus stages are now pinball in Mania Mode? I mean, if unlocking all gold medals removes blue sphere from Mania Mode, then I can see why a Blue Sphere hater would use the cheat.

This movie is going to be god drat incredible and put the Mario Bros. movie to shame in how much it misses the point, I’m so excited. It’s like someone knows how hosed production was gonna be and just went “gently caress it.” and endeavored to make it at least memorably bad.
