I'm actually on the opposite side, I kind of wish they hadn't redrawn the art as much (seeing how the mountains and vegetation in the background were probably intended to look blocky and not more realistically smooth), but anyway... Day one purchase. Seriously, this should be the start of a new line of Sonic games.
Pretty much this. I myself was so ready for little and then got everything; I'd say that has a way of jolting one. The one and only thing I'm concerned about not having is a Tails that can follow and airlift your Sonics. Didn't seem like it had that from the trailer, at least. And that's a small thing anyway. I am far beyond happy with this either way.
I'm at the position where I want to be incredibly hyped for this game, but then you realize its made by Sega and that takes you down a few notches.
OH GOD I JUST NOTICED THE TRAILER MUSIC STARTS WITH... UH... IS THAT BOTANIC BASE? I made the mistake of trying to film a coherent reaction after like 15 minutes. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYXAPb6pMQE[/youtube] EDIT: Nah, I figured it out, it's the Sonic 3D Blast credits music.
Also, I won't lie, the Drop Spin sounds like a genius mechanic. It works as a spin-dash that can be done while moving, but needs a clear vertical space to do it and probably can't be spammed like the boost.
Its been barely more than an hour, and I still haven't quite comprehended that this is a real game. It's so surreal.
His style is straight out of Saturn-Era composition. Have a listen. http://youtube.com/#/user/teezord
Ok the USB stick in the gift bag has one zone of Tee Lopes's audio induced sex. Someone get on uploadin' that.
I am so pumped for this! This is everything I wanted for a Sonic 4. This is the Sonic 4 we deserved. Massive KUDOS to Taxman and Stealth!
People are already bitching about this? "SEGA we want us old Sonic back". *after stream* "What the fuck? Where is Sonic Adventure 3?". ...I never willl understand these guys. Anyway, that game looks fucking amazing, I honestly LOVED it.
Link seems broken. Also, yeah. If Sega or Sonicteam was behind Sonic Mania, they'd ruin it and make another Sonic 4.
What are you surprised about? The fanbase has been shattered into a million different sections with different wants for at least a decade now, of course there's not gonna be an announcement free of complaints. Let's all nag at Taxman to put him in. :specialed:
