That explains a lot with this video. If only modern AAA games would be made with this kind of dedication and faithfulness to its core series.

Yo didn't expect this to happen so fast. Incredible. I like it more than Studiopolis personally.

I was halfway through doing the same shit in Audacity, lol.
Glad someone beat me to it!

I saw the lightning shield! Is the fire shield coming back? It was always my favorite because it could instantly get you running faster than the normal run speed.
This looks amazing though. I don't know why it's taken so long for someone to finally do this. The only thing I'd add is that I wish the end of each act had a midboss like Sonic 3&Knuckles.

I wish we had the S3&K level transitions, those made the game feel less disyointed and more like an actual island you were exploring.
It's very likely that the final game will in fact have a boss at the end of every act, they're just removed from these demos.
I wanna say the same for level transitions. I bet they come back but they dont want to hint at what other levels they would be yet.
These are confirmed. They're just not being shown.

I have a feeling we will, but of course, they're only showing bits so far.

Looks like the best 2D Sonic since CD. I'm happy it seems to be primarily taking cues from CD too, that's probably my favorite among all the 2D games. Can't wait!

Can you believe they spent 10 years doing that other shit..

Visuals in this have so much character to them, it's unreal for a 2D game

Wow! That's all I can say. Whether it's the graphics or the soundtrack!
What?
It probably will. As both Knuckles and Sonic start in different areas for Mirage Saloon Act 2.

Is that the new sonic comic series?

Sonic Mega Drive, a one-off special by Ian Flynn and Tyson Hesse. It's kind of perfect.

That's the one. Forgive me, but it's been a while, sonic comic wise. Does that relate to the Sonic Genesis series Archie launched a few years back?

Nah it is stand alone
The 2nd issue releases this coming week tho!
Yo, someone liked the sound of the Ricoh sound chip in the Sonic CD Past stages
It looks great, and I'm kind of impressed how well pastiches can be drawn out of the (excellent) early Sonic style almost thirty years on -- which Sega themselves radically departed from in S3&K and Chaotix. i guess that's what I miss from Sega -- you never knew what you were going to get, and it was fresh, and new.

Do I buy this for one console? Or do I double/triple dip?

I have never played old Sonic games, but this looks really good and fun.
Definitely I'll give it a try.

What are you waiting for? Grab Sonic 1-2 on 3DS or Steam!
My lord that soundtrack is so good.
Another thing i've always loved about Sonic games and they've nailed it with Mania.

Just read it then. The artwork and dialog are so perfect. It really embodys the feel of classic Sonic. Can't wait for the followup.

COT DAMN. It looks and plays so nice. If anything, this proves that the best game creators are its fans. Sonic CD and Sonic Mania are shining examples of it.
More like the best game creators are passionate about what they do, which Taxman and co are displaying on full force.
Edit: also helps when the publisher steps back and says "go nuts."

Maybe someone will make a Genesis port of this one day, if it's possible.
Wouldn't be surprised if someone made a rom hack. Some stuff might have to be cut though.
I think the magnitude of change would have to be akin to the difference between Unleashed on PS3 and Unleashed on PS2.
Didn't they say in interviews at least part of the point of the game would be to see what a sonic game for the saturn could be like? A genesis port of a game design quite specifically to use more power the the genesis sounds self defeating.

Wut dis? Why does it look so good? Why does it sound so good? Why does it seem so smartly designed?
I'm not supposed to get excited for a Sonic game. WHAT YEAR IS THIS?
