Sonic Mania - opening animation & GIVE-AWAY

WARNING the following video may contain spoilers. Although I haven't watched it myself I have heard zone information may be shown in the following video.



Due to an early leak of Sonic Mania in which a user was able to successfully redeem their collectors edition digital code on the Switch early and live stream the game; SEGA have responded by posting the intro animation to the game slightly ahead of schedule. Although the full launch trailer is still due to go live Monday 14th alongside the lifting of the review embargo, if you wish to you can watch the animation in the video above or on the official Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube channel.

Sonic Mania is launching on Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC on August 15th and we will be livestreaming our first playthrough on the GBAtemp Twitch channel.

We will be giving away 2 copies of Sonic Mania on your platform of choice during the livestream. To be in with a chance to win please stay tuned for more information!

Its harder to optimize games for PC, with a wide range of hardware/specs, then for consoles where every single Xbox One or PS4 out there has the same specs, and runs games the same.

Delaying a game four days before release is a dick move. QA/testing should've been done long ago, not four days before release. That's just stupid.


I wouldn't mind if it was a month, but four days? Are they stupid?

It also could have been that right before release, a major bug or something similar was found and they had to make the call to move it back to fix it. This isn't a new thing, and it's not that long of a wait.

Like someone has already said before someone where else you cannot delay a game 4 days before release but they did it anyway and giving everyone that preordered the game a free copy of Sonic fucking 1 a game everyone that wants Sonic Mania already has like 5 copies of at this point.

Sonic 1, on Steam, which uses a horribly programmed emulator. Steam's Genesis emulator sucks ass.

Delay? Okay.

4 days until release? Wow, what the fuck!?

I was getting the game on Switch anyways, but that's just fucking stupid to do.

PC version only, they wanted to optimize if further for PC other platforms will proceed as normal. Free Sonic 1 Copy for Steam Users as well
Honestly I think this is just a move to mitigate potential piracy, limit datamining to find hidden secrets, or maybe even add some sort of DRM.
