Spoiler-free Sonic Mania discussion thread

I'm gonna have to even duck out of this thread... don't want to know absolutely anything :v:

Live stream is a no no for me. Going complete Sonic Mania blackout

See you guys in a few days

 

Yeah I don't consider it spoilers if it's coming from the official source, but I get the logic. I saw we spoiler tag the steam talk to be fair.

 

It would be lovely if this thread were parodied in an animation later on....showing us metaphorically hiding under a MD/Genesis or Saturn until the coast was clear. I feel like we are going through a hurricane or a blizzard that is lasting DAYS. I fully expect a report from the live stream though. I really hope this story explains once and for all where Sonic CD and Sonic 4 are supposed to be. I want to say that the Time Eater messed everything up and split the timeline....and that CD is part of Sonic 1's after story. However, I'm sure we will never know how the Eggmen got out of "The Void."

 

Stream is going to start in 10-15 minutes, says Aaron.

 

That stream background image...

 

I can just picture Aaron in a school girl outfit, handbag in tow with a piece of toast in his mouth screaming "I'm LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

You're all welcome for the mental image.

 

Someone draw this

Or at least photoshop Aaron onto an existing schoolgirl who is late for school

 

Jesus fuck. My anxiety is through the roof. What is taking Aaron so long!?

 

Update: the webhead is at an important surprise meeting involving Mania. Important enough to miss the stream.

 

[BUMPS INTO TAXMAN WALKING THE OTHER WAY]

"Hey, watch where you're going! B-baka!"

Both of them later have a surprising reunion when it's discovered that Taxman is the mysterious new transfer student in Aaron's class!!!

CAN THE POWER OF [SHITPOSTING] AND [LITERALLY A SONIC ROM HACK] HELP THEM SURVIVE THE SCHOOL YEAR!?

(okay I'm done. I hope we get news of the stream soon. :^)

 

It's a meeting concerning their announcement, too. I'm worried

 

Maybe it's a price drop or an early release.

Nah.

 

Wow, fuck off.

 

Bad news: PC version of Mania is delayed to August 29th, owners get Sonic 1 on Steam for free.

 

.

Sonic Mania on PC delayed to Aug 29th.​

 

What about the CE though?

 

This news feels kinda like a kick to those who bought the PC version to get the game on time because of the Collector's Edition arriving later.

EDIT: What exactly is needed to be fixed that the other versions don't? I honestly figured that the Switch version would be the one to get a delay since it's being ported by a different team.

 

GDI its not even the Taxman version.

 

...I took off next week for Mania.

I don't own any of these current consoles.

I... don't know what I'm going to do now.

 

You'll receive it but the Download code won't unlock the game. Will just add it as 'preordered status'.
