Yeah.
It's not even that the graphics are outdated. It's that there's no gameplay additions. There's no new factor, like the first three games did with the new shields and adding knuckles. The updated sprites is something great and amazing, and moreso when you know how hard they are to make. If they added a new core mechanic, not counting the bonus emerald stages, then at least that would be progress for the formula. Generally being formulaic is an inherently bad thing and there's a reason for that.

They added the drop-dash. Personally, what I'm hoping for is for Sega to separate the 2D and 3D lines so they can add a new mechanic every game or so in the 2D games and keep that genre going, while they can do whatever they feel works in the 3D line, be it Boost or some other mechanic (personally, I'd love a new SA1-esque overworld).

You run into the issue that this team probably wouldn't be making anything if Mania hadn't been conceived. One thing I think we can agree with is that this group has a ton of talent, but that is because they were hand picked for their ability to specifically make 2D Genesis-era Sonic games. They don't make 3D ones because that's not their forte. And while there definitely are great 3D Sonic games, the 2D formula with "outdated graphics" works because it's not a matter of timeframe, but rather a genre in and of itself.

Why not just have a community-wide vote?

@BingTheWing

Because people are easily manipulated and typically not invested enough to put in the work to make wise decisions.
^This isn't just me throwing shade—knowing that is part of my IRL job. A lot of organizations are hurt by that fact.

I'm absolutely going to spoil things that add to the hype. Also if you have the spare you should buy me a copy cause I'm broke af not counting what I'm saving for the comp.

@DarkwolfX37

I thought you hated 2D Sonic?

Hekrom: she's targeting all codex. Why spare specifically me out of mercy?

@souleaterfan320

Why spare you for any reason?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yes. She could've very well killed me when we encountered, but she didnt. I want to know why.

@souleaterfan320

Maybe she wanted to be merciful?

If you feel comfortable with changing some settings to ensure that everything goes on the HDD properly, we can add a cheap SSD and reduce your boot times quite a bit. You can also get a 1080ti instead if you want to spend an extra $200. The regular 1080 will already max out everything you can throw at it, but just if you wanted to flip off every game you play for the near future for some reason, you can do that.

Also, ensure the case dimensions match your desk.

Mania makes you fucking play Mean Bean Machine as the boss of Chemical Plant. That earns some points.

@DarkwolfX37

SPOILERS. YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE MY HYPE SHOOT TO ELEVEN BY SPOILING A GAME IN MY TOP TEN BEING IN ANOTHER GAME THAT WILL LIKELY BE IN MY TOP TEN. I NEED TO REACT TO ORGANICALLY IN A VIDEO.

What? No, JOHN is jewish. And what other people do is irrelevant.

@DarkwolfX37

Also, this will be useful in the near future.

That was literally his family name before they moved to america and he bitched about John Stewart not using his jewish family name so yeah, it's not ironic because drumpf was serious when he tried ti libel John.
