Since a lot are doing it, I'll do it too. Sonic Mania is great!

I think sonic really needed refinement over everything else (money aside.). I do think producing action games with multi-layered levels/ play-styles is very difficult. Lost world is a good example of no cohesive gameplay. On top of that, Sonic is a very influential series. It's action elements make it a very different game from Mario. He's iconic.

Shakey voice acting* oops

Well, while we're still criticizing sonic... Something's haven't changed, people still complain about some sections breaking their speed. Spikes, springs walls etc, but that's a matter of practice. Not a flaw in design exactly. you'd think some would wisen up at this point and figure it out. But it is what it is. The players know.

@GP Silver - I do love Star Fox and Pikmin but Nintendo does do a lot of both Mario and Zelda, however they do focus on other series. Sega doesn't mention others besides Sonic. Bayonetta first count because it belongs to Platinum

Bayonetta doesn't count

Taking part in creating something does count. I'm aware platinum and Sega do work together on a few things. But what's the big deal? lol. We're just talking about mania.

I never owned a genesis, but I did play along with a friend growing up. I actually have all the classics on 360 arcade. It would be neat if they brought over all the classic sonics/ 3D like adventure 1&2. Ecco the dolphin. Power stone. Crazy taxi etc lol. Jet set radio. They did bring over the neo geo classics on switch.

Don't people know you're not supposed to know what's ahead? It really makes keeps you alert and excited. Oh, and I know that movie, the one with the voice acting and this line... "You might know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you, since I know everything you're going to do! Strange, isn't it?" You should watch Dimondbolt's video on it.

I meant due to their status back then they didn't really had the options to go risky and make new games who sell poor for them so sonic was and is the answer. I'd love to see some classic's coming back but its pretty hard, does not even happen with other successful companies. At least some of their latest published games are getting more recognition and coming to more platforms.

It was hilarious dubbing work. Yeah, I dunno I like sega. They're good when they choose to be lol

Lava Reef might be my favorite in Mania. Anyone know for sure Michael Jackson did the sonic 3 ost? It sounds like him, I'll give it that lol.

@megatron just going to add don't worry about what's in front of you. I find it best to play these games like an average platformer the first time through. Speed is something you can enjoy later once you learn the levels and all the different routes. It'll become 2nd nature later on.

I know, I was talking about the people complain when something becomes the slightest bit difficult like they did Legacy Collection 2. It's not like it's the way Heart of Darkness was where the trial and error aspect was way over the top.

Yeahs1

Sorry, just saying.

I agree with a lot that's been said here. Once the level design is learned, the way a level is played changes drastically, there's actually a lot of skill involved, just learning the best rout takes practice. I have the current WR time in green hill act 2 and it took me 8 hours of practice to get, no joke. I wish they'd bring back some old IPs like Ristar and streets of rage.

Also, nice Sonic CD drawing.

Congrats Ben! And thank you for the comment on my picture. I'm going to focus on time trials soon, just practicing knuckles.

By the way... What do you think about Sonic Forces?

Yeahs0

I think it can be good if it simply plays well. Generations esque gameplay, with OC characters lol. I think they'll tighten the controls on a serious note. They have to follow up Mania's reception... oh my. They really should make all those 3D Sonic's 60FPS, period. Not all of them are.

Yeah, performance is pretty important for those games. I hope the Switch version is optimized to run at 60FPS if nothing else I'll probably get the PS4 version.
