Gaming Sonic Mania

[jpx86]

If you have tmobile they are offering a free steam code for the game through the tmobile tuesday app.

No, they are offering a code for a different Sonic game.

They are giving away 80 copies of this game - so good luck.

no hand holding in this either you die you go back to the start of act 1 on your current stage just like the original sonic. and you restart with just 3 lives.

It looks absolutely beautiful on the Switch screen than moreso on a TV. The Nintendo Switch is pretty much the perfect way to play Sonic Mania at home or on the go.

I'll buy the game from the eShop but going to wait and see if there's a deal somewhere so I can save a couple of coins.

Yeah, the Switch screen is really pretty and makes games look great! I have no doubt the vibrancy will do Sonic Mania justice. Switch is definitely the way to go for this game.

Well i gave it a chance, and it's just like all the other Sonic games... Just awful.

Holy crap. Finally a sonic game that feels like Sonic!

Anything constructive about it being awful?

Sega does indeed what Nintendon't
(or am I too late?)

Obviously gonna grab the Switch version, for the portable aspect off course.

It's funny that fans of the series made this game. Then again, fans probably know what fans like. Sonic Team seem to have lost it.

Care to explain as to why you think it's awful?

Sonic Mania is the BEST Sonic game that SEGA has done since Sonic CD, at least for the 2D Sonic games. It's a true sequel to the brilliant classic Sonic MD/Genesis games.

My favourite 3D Sonic games are Generations/Unleashed/Colors though there are some who for some reason still like the Adventure series.

I honestly haven't had this much fun playing a Sonic game before.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I softlocked it again, and during the last boss fight too.

SPOILER! Both hands grabbed Tails at the same time, now Sonic is just running around freely while Robotnik hovers in the air, unhit-able.

I honestly can't believe that happened. Last life, and I only had to hit him 1 more time to finish.

> Fail at consoles to let you buy Sanic on their competitor's much more compelling system

Unless you want a resolution bigger than 720p

Why would you want any higher for an 16-bit styled game?

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

Unless you want a resolution bigger than 720p

Sonic Mania is 1080p 60fps docked, 720p 60fps handheld. You still get 1080p on your TV/monitor like all the other systems with the added benefit of taking it anywhere you want to go. I dunno, did you forget about docked mode? e.e
And honestly, 720p on a 6 inch screen is just fine. The Switch has a higher PPI than most monitors and TVs, it looks fine. And you can't beat the prospect of playing Sonic Mania anywhere you want.

Edit: Totally forgot to mention, this game is sprite-based and pixelated anyways. A higher resolution does diddly-squat.

only the home button lag.

try telling that to the guys on steam they absolutely can't wait to play it in 4k

 

[Bladexdsl]

they found a level select code!

Spoiler: warning

Hold Y & B during the start of the title screen.

there's only 13 stages and the last two are mega c***s!

Well, i forgot to add that I've never been a Sonic fan.
It probably is a really good game, but I regret buying it.

I bet sales are going through the roof for this game and with reason because it really is a great game and this coming from a person who never really had some affinity with Sonic even if we had some games of them at home.
At the moment I'm loving the time trials so much. Always great to improve the scores and know the levels by hard. Keep it up devs, this is an unexpected gem!

Agreed. I enjoyed Generations, but Mania is better.
