(Or one should say, development.) To me, Sonic Mania is nothing more than a licensed fan-product in which the developer had the added benefit of working with Sega's polish and editing department.

That title seems to continue the series story line from Generations and had more input from Sonic Team than this one. As much as I'm excited about this one, I don't feel that Sega is really banking on this to succeed as much as Project Sonic. MM, but I don't remember having to purchase that one. One can say that Capcom did the same thing with SF vs. But if we remove all the gloss, this is literally Sonic Retro Remix with a new name. Giving it another glance, I will say that it does seem to have that Genesis level of polish with a few neat gimmicks here and there.

That stuff to me never feels professional and wasn't in the classic games. I noticed something similar in a fan game's stage that had all these fake ad banner signs and custom furries. These are the only things I hate about fan games, stuff that doesn't feel like it belongs. There was some kind of weird truck in the stage that felt out of place and was irking me. By the way, does anybody else have the impulse to say 'Mega Man Mania' instead of 'Sonic Mania', every time you try to say 'Sonic Mania'? Just curious.Īs I said later, I gave the trailer another look and maybe unpolished wasn't the word I was looking for. When I first heard that we might be getting a 2D Sonic game next year, I was intrigued - and now I'm in love. In conclusion, all I can really say is that I am excited. Also, does anybody else think the music is pure gold? Studiopolis, anyone? (Also, it's done by Tee Lopes, so *BOOM!* - added layer of awesome) I also think that this could be one of my favorite Sonic games ever and maybe one of the best in general. Even if you don't agree, this game is made by fans anyway, so it doesn't matter - as long as Mania is good and fun. And, I'm willing to bet my money that Sonic Mania is going to be at least as good - if not better - than all of the recent Sonic fan games (in graphics AND game play). Ultimately, FallenAlchemist, you said yourself that you will most likely be purchasing Sonic Mania - so, why would you purchase a game that you felt was unpolished? At least, if it mattered in any real capacity, so much so that you felt the need to complain? In any fashion, I'm not attacking you - and you can think whatever you like. Regardless of how the graphics make you feel, they have no impact on the game play - and, the game looks fun, so there's no reason to worry. And that's fine - I'm not picking on the fan games - but, if you think this game has less polish than those games, then I really just don't know what else to say. Also, as nice as After the Sequel and Chrono Adventure look, they absolutely do not look as polished as this game (which makes sense, because Sega has the resources to make better and more consistently polished graphics). It just makes sense to use a more modern graphical style than the genesis era, while also taking inspiration from some of the recent fan games. The project is almost completely in the hands of fans - and the graphics remind me of more recent Sonic fan games, which is part of the reason why I like them. Most of all, this game makes me fell like Sega is finally listening to their fans, which is amazing. It retains the classic game play (with some minor tweaks) and the graphics fit this type of game (modern-throwback title).

I don't know for sure if you could realistically recreate these graphics on the Genesis (though I highly doubt that) - however, this games just seems so brilliant to me. Second, I'll say that personally I do enjoy the art style - and though it hearkens back to the Genesis days - frankly, it reminded me (visually) of games like After the Sequel/Chrono Adventure to begin with. Chrono Adventure is actually a Metroidvania style Sonic game, you have to go back and forth through different zones and get powers and such.įirst of all, I absolutely agree with Lamda's last post. Seriously, play those games I recommended. But Mania just looks like something I've already played through. As long as Sega is still appealing to 2D game fans, that's fine with me. But there's also Project Sonic, which I know nothing about. I think that's what a lot of fans and game reviewers will say as well. I don't know, it just would look a bit better in that HD style, I guess. (23-07-2016, 10:09 PM)TheFallenAlchemist Wrote: I took a look at it again.

If you don't feel like reading this, feel free to move along. Anyway, I'm not trying to create a lynch mob against you, I'm just throwing my hat in the ring and giving my thoughts (including those on your thoughts) on Sonic Mania.
