Sonic Mania absolutely destroying Forces in critic response deeply embarrassed Team Sonic, that's why it'll never happen and why they paid the Balan Wonderworld studio to make a Sonic game so it makes their games look better. The classic Gamefreak strategy.
>>735012373Outside of the bosses lasting too long i liked it
>>735012373I had a friend who was convinced this would be as good as Mania.
>>735012167mania sucks
>>735012373It's a perfectly good game with some annoying design choices. 7/10 at absolute worst. A sequel that addresses the issues would probably be great, but that's a never ever now, sadly. >>735013669I doubt it. Iizuka himself is responsible for Mania existing at all beyond a couple of levels, for better and for worse. (The rehashed Zones were his idea, IIRC.)The real reason is simply Sega not wanting to continue working with Taxman and company, possibly because of autistic spergouts during talks between the two groups by someone on Taxman's side of things, if Stealth's seething on twitter about Sega not allowing them to fix Origins recently is any indication. (Even if he's right about Sega, he still could've handled his disagreements in public in a more professional way.)
>>735012167>>735012373They probably decided Arzest's 3D graphics were more appealing than high definition 2D.
>>735012167Good. This game sucks. It was nothing but trying to placate the egoraptors, spax, and chrischans of the world
>>735016643it would have looked like penny's big breakouthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiWRwkeH1VM
Why did this seem kiddier than the originals?
Why does every game this studio makes fail?
>>735016897Its was too self-aware and fanwanky. The originals wouldn't have had Robotnik pull out a puyo puyo machine or have Knuckles having crayon drawn thoughts etc.

He was still hired to work on Origins Plus afterwards.
>>735016589The fact that the best skins are only pirate-able/moddable at this point only is lame
I want a sonic advance-esque game by DIMPS but without the bottomless pits everywhere
>>735012373ew
>>735013932I still don't get how people haven't modded that out at this point. Feels like it should be an easy fix
>>735012167>>735012373Both Mania and Superstars had terrible boss fights.>*mic drop*
>>735012373It's funny how this is a 7/10 with 2/10 bosses, while Frontiers was a 2/10 with 7/10 bosses.
>>735012167This has got to be the biggest miss in modern sonic. A Mania 2 with more original content could honestly have been equal to some of the classic games. So Sega of course shit everything up>>735012373This fucking game is a shit heap god it sucked. It’s doing everything to say “yeah im a classic style game while playing like shit in every aspect. Slop is too good a term for it.
>>735018079I wish fangames would hit the Advance era.>be the change you want to seeI don't want to see it that bad.
>>735020430>I don't want to see it that bad.Neither does anybody, and that's why people still suck on classic cock and Advance games are mostly forgotten. They were just not as good.
>>735020430>>735020712At least the decomps are almost done
>>735020024You're right. I've always said that Mania benefited immensely from how starved we are of good classic 2d sonic. If it was a norm it would probably be seen as mid-tier due to the boss fights.
>>735012167The source code is out. No one impede the community to create a Sonic Mania 2 themselves and asking the "musician" to create something for them, maybe paying him with crowdfunding funds.
>>735012167The worst boss in the entire franchise
>Mania 2You mean another game where 80% of the levels are recycled for nostalgia? How long are we gonna keep going back to the past, we've been doing this for 16 years now.
