[quote="SuperArthurBros"][quote="Chadio"]I am so in. For both games. We've been telling them for at least idk - 10 years - to go back to what made Sonic great.... And it seems they FINALLY listened. [/quote] So Making a 16/32-bit platformer in the 2000s is what makes Sonic great again[/quote]It's not just the graphics, it's the old-school gameplay that makes it great. Sonic 4 would've been a good game too if the level design and controls were right. Of course, the old-school visuals enhance the nostalgia which makes the game even more fun to play for old fans of Sonic. Given all the throwbacks, it's a smart choice. Also, the music is kick-ass.

[quote="[url=http://phpbb.mfgg.net/viewtopic.php?p=488067#p488067]Kritter[/url]"]The music is one of the best parts. I was fully prepared to experience "hey we're doing Genesis-style music, but poorly!" like we got with Sonic 4 or the Classic Sonic stages in Sonic Generations, but I was blown away by what I heard instead. Great stuff, legitimately excited.[/quote] To be fair, Generations is less "Genesis, but we didn't do it right" and more "Thick drums and/or J-Pop because reasons". Music is still absolutely sick in this, however. Particularly liking the boss theme. Reminds me of standalone Sonic 3's miniboss music for some reason.

Jesus this looks amazing. Disclosure Time: The original 3 (4)? Sonic games, I've barely played... I should really fire up the Genesis and do that.

=Project Sonic 2017 Questions= How did Classic get back into the Modern Sonic world? What made Eggman finally be able to take over the world? When did these events happen? Will there be a third Sonic sometime soon, maybe to represent the handheld version of the games? Who is going to show up in the game? Any new characters, at least? Where did the events take place? Why was Eggman able to take over the world this time? Did Eggman take over the whole world, or just a portion of it for now until Sonic and friends stop him from taking over it all? --------------- All questions aside, Sonic Mania has gotta be the hype for me. A NEW 2D Sonic game? Definitely on my level. I suck at 3D Sonic games.

I don't want to get [b]too[/b] hyped for a 2D Sonic but I am getting way too hyped for this 2D Sonic. I love the one new zone they showed off in the presentation. It looks great!

A few days before the announcement I was talking to my friend, and said something along the lines of "I wish Sonic's 25th anniversary game is an original 16-bit Sonic done with Taxman's retro engine." Then it happened. Amazing.

It almost makes me think that Sega is skimming the internet and taking comments like that into consideration. Still, I wouldn't put it past them if it's only a coincidence.

Finally, the fans got what they prayed and wished for. Sega's a great company. [spoiler][ispoiler]I'm a Sonic fan.[/ispoiler][/spoiler]

I always liked the original three (or four, if Sonic & Knuckles is considered to be a separate game from Sonic 3) Genesis Sonic games, so I'm really looking forward to this! :D I love the music, smooth animations, and the new zone they had shown off.

Well, I'll say this, it's about the one thing they could've done that they wouldn't mess up. ... And I look forward to them somehow doing that anyway. As for the thing that has Modern and Classic Sonic teaming up yet again, I don't know what to think about it considering it isn't gameplay. At this point it could be as good as Generations or as bad as Lost World.

[quote="kirbymariomega"]never would i have thought that the game i'm most excited for would be a sonic game... man, sonic mania looks incredible![/quote] There is also Gameplay footage of it now :D [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1nQxH3kugg[/video]

So, what's with the voices in the background? I'm not talking about the idle chatter of the convention, but rather the voices that sound like they are coming from a cartoon. Is an episode of [i]Sonic Boom[/i] playing in the background?

Nor sure anyone noticed this, but the island in the water on the title screen is in the shape of Sonic's head. Here, I took a cutout for proof: [img]http://imgur.com/NHfZ9nc.png[/img]

[/quote] >Says that as if anyone cares about the story [quote="KirbyLover2048"] Will there be a third Sonic sometime soon, maybe to represent the handheld version of the games? [/quote] I have a hard time seeing this happen, seeing as the handhelds span both Classic (like the Game Gear, the Neo Geo) and Modern (the GBA onwards).

If we do get a 3rd sonic, I'd wager to guess it'd be "Dream Sonic", aka, SA, SA2, Heroes Sonic. From what I've read, Dream Sonic was going to be in Generations originally, but there were complications with his voice actor, among other things, so the idea was dropped.

It's not the setting of the game, is it?

The Angel Island is shown in the title screens of S3&K and S&K...
