I'm fucking dying. Good Lord. . .hahaha.
 
I CANT BREATHE I CANT BREATHE!!

this is an exampple of why i'm always a bit cautious of sonic games. You'll never know what you get

Why do all of these tracks sound like my eight-year-old self playing one of the "demo" tracks on my mother's keyboard and then pressing random keys on top of it?

Wow.

That is honestly the worst videogame music I've ever heard, and I've been playing games for 23 years.

Bioware, lets just say sacrifices had to be made to remove the Sonic cycle from Sega and give it a new home.
 
*referring to the Youtube comments*

Why are people comparing Game Boy music to Sonic Chronicles' OST?

Like

they sound nothing alike


in fact, you're flat out insulting Game Boy music
 
You know, Iwata promised that the Wii U wasn't going to make the same mistakes the 3DS did with the terrible launch and software drought... but in the end I don't care because the Wii U looks to be 3DS deja vu and getting ready to bombard us with so many great games like 3DS has been lately. August and onward is looking to be a pretty great time for Wii U owners.

I can't believe I'm this excited for a Sonic game. If only it was going to have a chao garden.

Seriously, this shit would be unacceptable on the GBA. This was a DS game? WTF happened. . .

Wow.

Pretty-much-confirmed rumor:

They had a bunch of cool original music made for it that sounded acceptable and then something happened and for whatever reason they couldn't use it, so somebody went "shit shit shit" and downloaded a bunch of midis from VGMusic and imported them in a rush.

Seriously, people have checked and some of them are definitely from VGMusic.

Some songs in the game are not terrible (the surviving original ones). I don't have a link handy but yeah.

Very interesting. It straight sounds like some MIDI music, so I'd be inclined to agree.
 
From the Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Wiki page:
A sequel to the game is a possibility if the game performs well enough, and the developer, BioWare, has "a precise idea" for how the sequel should be made;[16] another indication of a potential sequel is the nature of game's ending, which ends on a "Cliffhanger" and leaves the player with the message "THE END?"[24] Producer Dorian Kieken later confirmed that the sequel to the game was already being written, but the title is still unknown.[25][26] Since EA acquired BioWare, it is unclear if the sequel is still in the works.[26] In 2013, Nintendo and Sega signed a worldwide partenership for three Sonic games (Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and Sonic Lost World). Fans speculate that the third game is the sequel to Sonic Chronicles.

I want to know who these fans are. =/
 
Didn't know about UK, probably just to go against the rest of Europe. lol

Back in the 90s, Nintendo was TERRIBLE at releasing games in any sort of timely manner over there, even to the point of not releasing certain games there (like Earthbound). SEGA, on the other hand, released titles around the same time they released the games in America. Sonic, as a result, was a lot bigger in the UK than Mario, and a lot of Europe.

Sonic even won as the most popular video game in UK around the time Colors released in a poll, tromping the likes of Mario, Master Chief, Lara Croft, etc.

I OWNED THIS GAME.... Game Gear was a piece of shit.... :(

Not all of it.
 
Sonic galaxy vs Sex Pistols!

I like the retro sound and retro enemies, but this game has a inferior visual than generations.

Besides that, I hope its became a good game.
 
Catching up on the thread now:

- The mechanics sound lovely and the "higher speed tier button" is something I always thought would be a cool idea for the game without going full boost all the time in 3D. Mixed with the rollcage/Sonic X-Treme/Mario Galaxy/Trackmania looking stage and this might just be the single best attempt at classic Sonic in 3D yet.

- Glad to see everyone realizes that Colors' soundtrack is the thing happiness is made of. I can't wait for the first track that gets me moving harder than Sweet Mountain Act 2, has me going whoa with the backdrops like Starlight Carnival Act 1, feels so chill and then goes into a whole new world of relaxed like Planet Wisp 1 - 3 or Aquarium Park Act 1 - 3, and finally culminates in a madcap sprint through "JESUS FUCK THIS IS AWESOME" like Terminal Velocity Acts 1 & 2.

- 3DS version looks great.
 
I was getting a huge Super Mario Galaxy vibe after seeing those screenshots, it's nice to see Sega did so on purpose and acknowledges that.

I hope the 3DS version is as good as it seems. But the Wii U one looks incredible.
 
Hype!

What you guise think about graphics/art direction?

This is Next Gen Sonic.

Meh, nothing looks better to me than anything present in Generations on a technical level. The art style is simple and clean, very aesthetically pleasing overall. And if the IQ looks even near as good as it does in the screenshots posted earlier, then I'll be satisfied.
 
I'm getting Sonic Xtreme vibes...

HYPE

Sonic Xtreme!?

Fuck me, it's Sonic Xtreme crossed with Mario Galaxy.

Oh my God it's Sonic Xtreme finally

Sonic Xtreme HD?

Here's some Sonic Xtreme footage for those who want to compare.

It's Sonic X-treme finally realised.

So I'm not the only one that immediately thought this.

Cautious optimism.
