I see some many kiddies hating on Mania.

This is what I wanted for YEARS.

Been a classic fan for so long and all I want is that trip back to 2D. This is all I want and all I need it's like Megaman 9, DKC Returns and Double Dragon Neon all over again

2) People clamour for a Classic Sonic game. They get one, and are disappointed at the idea it's "all they get".
They want a "new" classic Sonic game. This looks like the same "old" classic Sonic. The only new thing I saw was the drop spin dash and more of the same old.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm still going to play it.

I thought this was what most Sonic fans waited for, than I remembered it's just a toxic chat. It's really no surprise at all tbh.

People keep saying "this is cool and all but I'm disappointed it's the only new game". Mostly Nintendo players.

This demonstrates two things:

1) Misinformation spreads SO fast. And you guys wonder why I get uppity about misinformation on things I like.
2) People clamour for a Classic Sonic game. They get one, and are disappointed at the idea it's "all they get".
I'm disappointed in the game itself not that it's the only thing we get. I didn't even know this thing was happening till 10 minutes ago.

It's the fact that Sonic the Hedgehog hasn't been really relevant in a long time and I want it to be so bad. Facing facts: this game is probably on the same level as something like Shovel Knight. Awesome, fun, popular but in no way AAA or revolutionary. A fun distraction for a little while. Nothing more.

That's why I'm disappointed. My honest opinion.

Capcom did this for years with Megaman and Nintendo did it 4 times with Mario, why can't Sega do it for Sonic?

That stream was terrible. They should had just done it for a small amount of people and get it to where it wasn't as bad as it looks

"For years?"
Do you mean Megaman 9 and it's sequel?

Because those are the only things coming to mind.

People complained about that too iirc.

Of course they can do it. As I said, I'm still going to play it, much like I played all of those Marios and Mega Men. I was just hoping for a little more innovation.

I'm not surprised honestly that people don't know the lyrics to Sonic Heroes. Even I don't it lol.

But now we have His World, so this should be better.

I'm like 80% sure Mania is not the only Sonic game being worked on right now.

Just a gut feeling... With some logic thrown in.

Yeah and they didn't innovative at all. It just went back to its roots to make a GOOD game

Like I said, I want a good game, I've been starved for one for TOO long.

Especially after Lost World and Rise of Lyric

Why Free? Literally nobody knows the lyrics to that song.
I even had to look up the song name.

Guys I'm pretty sure we'll have another announcement.

I'm not complaining about the appetizer when the meal hasn't been served yet.

I just hope the appetizer is being served at that secret new restaurant we haven't heard about and they just couldn't tell us.

You guys realize Mania might be the only game announced for a while

Because the last thing at the end is for the movie trailer. You forgot that they have been wanting to talk about that for a while

Don't get me wrong though, I'm still going to play it.
New developers.
New graphics and sprites, even on the old, remade stages.
New engine/technology (the Retro Engine).
Likely lots of new enemies and boss mechs.
New music.
New composers.
At least one new ability.
And plenty of new stage specific gimmicks were put on display (a MUST for a Classic Sonic game).

That's plenty of new.

This is exactly what Classic fans wanted. Most real Classic fans are really satisfied. It's even being developed by a member of the community. That's new even in gaming in general.

The only reason all these not-Classic fans are complaining is because they all think it's Sonic Team's big project, which it isn't. And because it's "not gonna be worth $60 because I need a 60 hour epic that looks like a Pixar movie to like that".

OH BUT GUESS WHAT GAME DID EXACTLY THAT AND PEOPLE CALLED IT "PADDING"? (points at avatar)

This game was made for the Classic fans, by Classic fans. There's nothing wrong with it.

Mania wasn't even remotely hinted on the list, we got it in the "Welcome" segment.

Please don't make assumptions and spread more misinformation.

Okay.

I'm gonna rant a bit.

Be disappointed sure. But calm your ****. Seriously.

Keep in mind, you're ******** not because the game looks bad.


But because it's not what you expected to be.


I'm reminded of :4corrin:.

  • Thing is fine and looks high quality.
  • There's more to come.
  • People will complain for like a week before stopping.

Well; it appears I ended up tuning in here on the Nintenzone thread at around the time that the Sonic anniversary game was announced. I mean, I've never actually played a Sonic game before (yet I know that classic Sonic is considered the best by many), but is Sonic Mania really considered disappointing? I'd say its a nice little revival of the old days from what I've seen of it, but that's all I can say since I again have not played a Sonic game.

They have that final timeslot split into two five minute sections.

That's a pretty small timeframe for announcing anything even without being split in half, but it's still. . .odd.

Sonic "milked its roots" twice.

Mario did it four times without changing much in between.

This new game has a new style that we haven't seen for decades.

It depends on who you ask.
Which in turn is: What did they want/expect out of Sonic 25?
Which in turn is another question: What IS Sonic to them?

Classic fans are going to be on cloud 9, for the most part. Modern fans are quite possibly going to be miffed of this being "it."
