dat twirl

das my sonic

 

[Kinsei]

Headcannon is Stealth's thing.

Stealth has been one of the main guys in the Sonic hacking scene since literally forever ago.

Ah, that explains it. Hopefully gameplay from the demo will put my fears at ease.

 

[Already Torn]

Why does it have to be a "budget bonus game"?

Because it looks like a budget release and it would be a bonus game if they reveal the real next game later on in the stream.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It has nothing to do with sales, I have no interest in a sales discussion. I was saying how despite a history in the previous generation of Sega skipping the games with their most effort on Nintendo consoles, it hasn't been the case for this generation (half decade).

Yeah.

There are plenty of games that I won't be surprised to see skip NX, but if any third party title is coming to that platform, it's this one.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Tee Lopes is on the music. Safest pair of hands you could get for classic style music imo.

Oh god forget I said anything. This game's gonna be incredible.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Fucking LOVE it. I hope we get a 60fps trailer soon, I wanna see that fluid animation! You miss so much of it when you see just the ball part of the spinning animation.

 

[FeenixRising]

Tee Lopes doing the music.

Seriously?!?!

I'm so happy for him!!! His Sonic 2 Aquatic Ruins remake gives me.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

WAIT, TEE LOPES ON THE MUSIC?!

OOOO

 

[GustyGardner]

you're goddamn correct

Yoooo, this is legit. Definitely happy with the choice here.

 

[Shadowlink]

Definitely a day one purchase.

 

[robot]

Looks amazing - damn shame it took this long to get back to 2D. Animation looks really well done.

 

[Triforce141]

You know what'd be amazing, if this game got Steam Workshop support for custom levels people can upload, increase dat replayability there.

 

[TheGameshark]

That's a slick fucking trailer

 

[jediyoshi]

Of course dude. Advance was alright.

You are history's greatest monster.

 

[Gattsu25]

The music when this part hits + the sonic art style + the sonic animation + the mode 7 (on steroids) island + the persona style transitions = best part of the vid by far.

This trailer is seriously impressive. Damn.

 

[Stone Ocean]

That looks fucking amazing holy shit

 

[MrSaturn99]

2017 release date yet announced during an anniversary stream, makes no sense.

I'd rather they'd take their time polishing it up and ensuring it's a good product than having it rushed out for the holidays.

I mean, hey, remember the last time that happened?

 

[Escalario]

Yeah.

There are plenty of games that I won't be surprised to see skip NX, but if any third party title is coming to that platform, it's this one.

Yeah, no. Don't expect this or the next 3D Sonic game to be on Nintendo's consoles. Sega was sabotaging Sonic's image on the Nintendo consoles since Lost World.

 

[KingBroly]

I will be really surprised if this turns out bad.

The problem most Sonic games have had recently is that they just got worse and worse the longer it went on. Considering this is Whitehead's first new Sonic game, I fear he'll fall into that trap.

 

[celsowmbr]

And what about the price? 19.99?

I can see this game on iOS, Android, Vita, WiiU very soon

 

[Neuromancer]

Well that looks fantastic. Retail?

 

[plutoknight]

Seriously?!?!

I'm so happy for him!!! His Sonic 2 Aquatic Ruins remake gives me.

Holy shit.

I'm actually legit teary-eyed now. If this is the kind of music I can expect, I am 1000% in on this.

 

[BocoDragon]

I just let it set in that it's for Spring 2017.

That's a long time away which sucks... but it tells me it's a full product.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yeah, no. Don't expect this or the next 3D Sonic game to be on Nintendo's consoles. Sega was sabotaging Sonic's image on the Nintendo consoles since Lost World.

Ok, you're not really thinking rationally right now.

 

[War Raichu]

this and Freedom Planet 2 both coming next year is nuts. So excited.

You know what'd be amazing, if this game got Steam Workshop support for custom levels people can upload, increase dat replayability there.

certainly possible considering they just released workshop support for all the Genesis classics

 

[jediyoshi]

And what about the price? 19.99?

I can see this game on iOS, Android, Vita, WiiU very soon

Spring 2017 on One/PS4/PC. What do you define as 'soon'?

 

[DooMAGE]

It's a rom rack? lol

 

[Azure J]

you're goddamn correct

I remember stumbling on this years ago and it was like "he needs to do original tracks immediately." Now it's like "WHEN DO I PAY THE MONIES".

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Yoooo, this is legit. Definitely happy with the choice here.

Right? Shit, his originals are better than his remixes.

 

[VariantX]

This is like a sonic fan's wet dream in trailer form. Taxman's working on it so you know the physics are gonna be just right.

Gibe nao!

 

[ZeroX03]

The best surprise visit from The Taxman ever. I'm in.

 

[blanco21]

Make the game big as fuck, and have great bosses

 

[The Real Abed]

More than anything I'm impressed by the animation and pixel art in this. Holy shit. Looks amazing. And so fluid!

I'm not even a Sonic fan, but this is exactly what I look for in a good Sonic game. The animation makes me happy. Good animation in all pixel games makes me happy when done well.

 

[BocoDragon]

The only part that bothers me is....

...this is a title screen worthy of the name Sonic 4.

 

[celsowmbr]

Spring 2017 on One/PS4//PC. What do you define as 'soon'?

2018

 

[Shaneus]

What they need to do: Cartridge (or at least ROM) release of Sonic Mania that runs on the original MD/Genesis hardware.

Hm. Not speculating, but is the opening frame from that (presumed) title screen a nod to the MD/Genesis 1 power light?

Better make that a 32X cartridge because Sonic Mania looks like a long lost 32-bit game.

lol, for all 20 people who bought one?

 

[plutoknight]

I just let it set in that it's for Spring 2017.

That's a long time away which sucks... but it tells me it's a full product.

Wonder if it'll be a $40 retail release.

 

[exmachina64]

In.

I just let it set in that it's for Spring 2017.

That's a long time away which sucks... but it tells me it's a full product.

It's already the end of July, so it's not so bad. It's not like we should expect a Fall 2016 announcement.

 

[Escalario]

Ok, you're not really thinking rationally right now.

I mean, just look at Lost World, the Boom games, or the shitty Racing All-Stars port on 3DS. At least this game will be a good effort since it's not actually made by Sega, so I'll get it on sale for PC.

 

[KingBroly]

Hm. Not speculating, but is the opening frame from that (presumed) title screen a nod to the MD/Genesis 1 power light?

lol, for all 20 people who bought one?

yes

 

[Augemitbutter]

i will buy this because sonic cd is the best sonic ever made.

 

[Decarabia]

Yo, this actually looks legit.

 

[TyMiles2012]

Looks ace but WHY NO NINTENDO SYSTEMS!?? So pissed off right now for that :'(

That literally confirms it will only be for NX Nintendo-wise and not WiiU or 3DS. It's against NDA to mention NX in trailers before reveal.

 

[Shredderi]

See this is how you do it.

 

[brinstar]

whoa, this is what I wanted Sonic 4 to look like

 

[Kintor]

Ok, you're not really thinking rationally right now.

Honestly, the last couple of years have been rough for the Sonic franchise. Both Lost World and Sonic Boom have received a lot of negative reactions. Distancing future Sonic games from any hint of Nintendo exclusivity will only help to repair the damage wrought and restore the reputation of Sega as whole.

 

[Stat Flow]

THEY FUCKING DID IT! DAY FUCKING ONE

 

[KingBroly]

That literally confirms it will only be for NX Nintendo-wise and not WiiU or 3DS. It's against NDA to mention NX in trailers before reveal.

According to who?

 

[topplehat]

Man how come this couldn't have been Sonic 4?

 

[Hero Prinny]

not a fan. was never too into 2D sonic and the classic sonic levels were the ones i wasn't too big on in generations. its animated really good, i guess. I'll probably purchase it when its really cheap, maybe.
