New 2D Sonic game, Sonic Mania announced for PS4/XB1/PC



Coming right from a panel at Comic Con, is SEGA's latest Sonic game. It'll be developed by Christian Whitehead, the man behind the mobile ports of Sonic 1, 2 and CD. Titled Sonic Mania, it's set to release on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC platforms in Spring 2017. According to the trailer, it appears to be a return to classic 2D form for the series. There's special stages, 3 playable characters (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles), and old school Genesis era graphics.

:arrow: You can find a little bit of footage: HERE

Developed in collaboration between SEGA, Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games, experience new zones and remixed classic levels with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles!

You know what this means?

SEGA TO REVIVE STREETS OF RAGE YEAAAA

Hopefully, any Fan attempt gets shut down as soon as it's finished oh dear SEGA Like Streets Of Rage Remake but It's probably one of many SEGA references

Also in the footage I noticed a SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis controller being used how strange

Thanks! Has it been in any other game? I haven't played neither Sonic 4 nor Generations (I own it though).

By the way, I just saw this trailer for ANOTHER Sonic game, or rather game appearance :rofl2::



Busy times for the blue guy, huh.

Wait, so the way it works is if you press down while landing you'll get a boost and keep spinning from your jump? Weird how I didn't know that seeing as I grew up with on the Mega Drive (never finished it but will very soon, just have to replace the FeRam on it..).

Edit: I had to check if it really was in Sonic 3 and there's only the normal rolling you would get from running and pressing down like in previous games, no speed boost.

It wasn't a rolling attack, but I remember there being a shield jump attack if you pressed A twice. That attack was actually really useful imo, for speedruns and invincibility frames.

That would be called the Insta Shield if my memory serves me right
