I like Lego games too, but the gameplay mechanics of a Lego title seem too... clunky for something fast-paced like Sonic.

Police Girl · **Reply #1102 on:** June 09, 2016, 09:38:16 PM

they've improved a lot

plenty of possibility to go fast in dimensions

plus now sonic can be in a video game with batman and Mr. T

that just sounds really cool

Did--sonic just Mug Gollum?

Phi · **Reply #1104 on:** June 09, 2016, 10:17:07 PM

Ahh, I misunderstood. I didn't know what Lego Dimensions was and assumed it was a Sonic game. Because that wouldn't work.

Quicksilver and Flash were fine in the Lego Batman and Marvel Avengers, so Sonic is plausible as a separate playable character.

i looked at that picture with 3d glasses on and it worked

I get the feeling this isnt all there is to the 25th anniversary. They're not capcom. They wouldnt tease and make hype for whats just a Dimensions expansion and another Sonic Boom game.

There's apparently something news-related for the 23rd this month, but beyond it being Sonic news they're fairly tightlipped right now.

To celebrate the spiky blue insectivore's 25th Anniversary, a new title was just announced during the Sonic Anniversary Party. This entry seems to taking cues from Mega Man 9 by going for a retro Genesis/Mega Drive presentation and gameplay. In Sonic Mania, you get to play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, with a few new moves such as the Drop Dash move, as well as featuring some reimagined classic and some original levels. The game is being developed by Sonic Team alongside Christian Whitehead (who worked on the enhanced port of Sonic CD, and the mobile ports of 1 and 2), Simon "Stealth" Thomley (who also worked on the mobile ports of Sonic 1 and 2), and PagodaWest Games (some mobile game developer I never heard of until now). The game will come out for PS4, Xbone, and PC in 2017.

It's nice that they openly acknowledge 3D Sonic isn't working out for them.

That's not to say that 3D Sonic is completely out of the picture. They said it's not Generations 2, so it seems it'll be a non-anniversary title that just uses time stuff as an excuse to have multiple playstyle Sonics again.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1112 on:** July 23, 2016, 08:32:01 AM

Both of these things seem cool to me!

That title screen, that music, I'm in love.

Also, off-screen gameplay

I hope visuals and music are the only thing they're taking heavy influence from Sonic CD on.

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #1115 on:** July 23, 2016, 07:09:18 PM

Aaaaand Sonic's shooting stuff up with a Portal sentry in Lego Dimensions.

Not gonna lie, I'd probably buy just this set alone. The Sonic Speedster and Tornado look pretty nice in Lego form.

Seeing as how Mania is trying to emulate blast processing, it's unlikely the zones will be nearly as cluttered as CD.

Flame · **Reply #1117 on:** July 24, 2016, 05:10:45 AM

so apparently, Mania is going to be LONGER THAN GENERATIONS

and have a boss after EVERY act.

Damn son.

also who else watched that stream last night. Was that something or what. It was so bad it became awesome.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1118 on:** July 24, 2016, 05:17:43 AM

I had heard Crush 40 is cringy during live performances, and they were right......

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #1119 on:** July 24, 2016, 05:47:56 AM

Admittedly I tuned out the most of the musical stuff to watch Stop Skeletons From Fighting's livestream. Seeing Cindy Robinson (and I think Mike Pollock too) mock the audio crew on stage was the best part for me. I seriously need a clip of that.

Damn that is some sexy Sonic music!!!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1121 on:** July 24, 2016, 06:05:56 AM

Seriously after the atrocity that was Boom's bland music (and the [tornado fang]ing dubstep!) this is sweet therapy for my ears.

So, Sonic, Tails, Knux, and Act1 bosses. All we need is some Super Emeralds and we've basically got the S3&K formula.

I'm rather shocked that not-Generations-2 is confirmed for the NX yet Mania is for the moment skipping Nintendo platforms. If anything I'd have expected the other way around. Renegade Kid is offering to fix that, so here's hoping.

Something that concerned me a little with Mania is the fact that modern devs trying to emulate 8/16-bit game styles have a tendency to forget to keep decent contrast between their background and foreground layers. I was a bit worried about Studiopolis at first, but the more I see it in motion, they're USUALLY keeping the foreground noticeably brighter, so hopefully it should work out.
