I love that you can tell every point where he said, "Fuck it," and moved on.
ALL OF THE SECONDS!!!!
Right? xD
we've all been there.
i hope that chemical plant is one of the zones in sonic mania
plastickhero thats so me when ever i play a sonic game
Sonic 1 + Sonic 2's mechanics + Sonic 3's characters + Sonic CD's sound-quality = There goes my wallet!
There are some Sonic 3 mechanics there too. ;) The elemental shields, movable objects to find hidden special stage rings, and there is even a monitor from Knuckles Chaotix in the game too! Not too many people probably know that, since Chaotix was released on the 32X and we all know what happened to the 32x... The blue ring monitor comes from Chaotix.
And minibosses. I'm so glad they brought those back.
Sonic 3 and CD level design.
You forgot "+32 bit NeoGeo/arcade quality pixelart and animation". Like, shit's cash.
This is VERY different from Sonic 3 level design . Sonic 3 was linear and flat, the only exceptions being Hydrocity and Carnival Night 1.
I'm almost 30 and I feel like a little schoolgirl watching this with excitement. I have been waiting since 1995 for the proper follow up to my favorite video game of all time, sonic 3 and knuckles. I'm not completely convinced, considering how many time sega has let me down in the past. Still, this looks fucking GOOD. Who is making this game?
World'sBiggestFaggot Man Im 31 who grew up with the Genesis sonic and this is bringing me to tears. This is just like those good old Sonic games
38 here, enthusiasm shared my man. This game is going to possess me, it looks like going back to the 90s and I LOVE IT!
you should try sonic generations, 1/3 of it is exactly what we crave, sonic 4 never existed in my opinion this is what sonic 4 should have been XD
Remember that the previous bullcrappery that was the Nintendo only Sonic games, weren't made by Sonic Team or Christian Whitehead.
Sonic Unleashed and Generations got the same treatment this game is getting, so be sure it won't disappoint.
Matthew BPbuds That's not true, Colors and Lost World were made by Sonic Team and Colors was great!
*Every time he stops and walks in the other direction right when hes about to get some speed I wanna pull my fucking hair out*
Ikr
hahah the same feeling
same
The Last Methbender In that case, you would HATE watching me play classic Sonic... I am EXTREMELY OCD and have to get every ring that I can.
That American Narrator Same. I enjoy exploration, not just using sonic's capabilities and speeding through the entirety of a zone.
7:16 does anyone notice that the robot changed expressions once he lost his revolving orbs. That kind of details is awesome.
I just thought "awww... do not kill the poor little guy. Look how sad he looks!", when I saw that poor Orbinaut.
He was shaking in fear, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
+Alan Bareiro if u leave and go back it regenerate de orbs
"i'm soooo fucked...."
Arms of an Angel was probably playing in its mind.
Feels weird being excited for a Sonic game these days.
I know, to be honest I expected sega to just become konami and make sonic pachinko.
Ikr. I felt like a little kid when they first announced Sonic Mania and Project Sonic 2017.
Well, considering the people behind this game and their previous works relating to Sonic, I think the excitement is justifiable.
FDA Approved That's preferable to Sonic becoming a zombie shooter though. ;)
same, its been years
The real Sonic 4 or Sonic CD2
GER EL for sure. I would say sonic 4 because there is no time travel
or just Mania, because it's his own thing
The real Sonic 4 IS Sonic CD.
Sonic CD is more like 2.5 (because it's the game that came out right after Sonic 2)
Also when counting each game individually there's 5 main classic title (1, 2 ,CD, 3 and finally S&K)
But There's the Genesis trilogy (1, 2, 3) and the Death Egg trilogy (2, 3 ,K)
Finally Sonic 4 is already a thing, nothing can change anymore about it (Sonic 4 episode 1 and episode 2 (+ episode metal) ) But i would have liked to see what episode 3 would be like because of the progress episode 2 made (seriously i believe if episode 3 was out and be a decent 2D Sonic game there could have been a Sonic 4 complete with the same engine and graphisms as ep2 so we could have a true Sonic 4)
PS: Do not forget the Advance and Rush serie also counted as "true Sonic 4" (seen on a comment on a Sonic advance 1 music)
Conclusion: Mania will be a new spin-off/ Sonic 5-ish game
So how would they justifie returning in Green hill zone?
the person isn't horrible at the game he's just exploring each zone so we get to see as much of the demo as possible as said in the description.
Hey, guys! Nick Robinson here from Polygon. I wanted to write a quick comment to go alongside this video so that y'all would have some context for what this footage is when we post it!
Yes, this is the same Sonic Mania demo one of our editors went hands-on with at the Sonic 25th Anniversary Party a few weeks ago. However, for that video, the embargo required that the video be edited and have some sort of editorial commentary over it.
Fast-forward to today: I finally got the chance to get my own hands on the game myself at PAX West, and I thought you guys would appreciate this slightly different take on the demo - one where I took my time, explored both stages much as possible in the time alloted, and then give you the video completely unedited and without commentary.
So yes, while these are the same stages you probably saw in our video last month, this really is all-new gameplay - and I stumbled onto a couple of cool new things in my playthrough.
This weird, semi-redundant video isn't the type of thing we normally do, but I really do believe that Sonic Mania is shaping up to be something extremely special, and I thought you fans might appreciate this extended look at it. I hope you enjoy this video, and if you have any questions about my time with the game, feel free to ask! I'll keep my eyes on the replies to this comment and reply to as many as I can. Thanks!
-Nick (twitter.com/babylonian)
When is the one with commentary coming up? Oh, it's already up. Sorry.
Here's a link to our first video! ua-cam.com/video/-BCf-3lSMug/v-deo.html
Thanks for the context! Though, why isn't this just in the description??
Thank you for uploading. I'm really excited for Sonic Mania and the more content available, the better in my eyes.
Thanks for upload this!
Man, this game is shaping up to be incredible. I knew they added some new stuff to Green Hill, but I had no idea they were going to add as much as they did. That entire underground area feels like it could be it's own level separate from the normal area, it's that big. Studiopolis looks fantastic too. The level design, music, gimmicks, and theme are all really good. If the other Zones in the game are as good as Green Hill and Studiopolis, Mania might de-throne Sonic 3 & Knuckles as my favorite video game. I'm excited.
I spoke to the producer about that - she said they're designing every level so that it has a substantial upper, middle, and lower path! I'm super excited, too. -Nick
My favourite 2D platformer of all time is Sonic 2 and I also have a soft spot for Sonic CD though I know it's divisive. This seems to combine the best elements of both games. Unless somewhere along the line they really fuck up... I can't see how this game isn't a straight 10/10 when judged on the merits of what a Sonic game should be.
+sausagesausage Only way I can see this game being messed up is a poor balance of new and old levels or too short of a development time. Given SEGA is giving most power over the project to whiteheadcannon and pagoda, I find those scenarios unlikely.
Dinodino1453
I think this has been in development since not long after the Sonic CD remaster released and it's still got quite some time so I reckon they'll have ample development time.
Egg Nog. lol.
7:15 - Aw, he gets sadder as he loses each ball. :(
did not notice that until now lol
I noticed playing but not watching this guy, couldn’t make it passed 3mins - I was cringing jumping and crying to the point I got mad!! I couldn’t better to watch anymore!
@@Apex8r where are you from? just wondering
they took what people wanted...and made it better
For the first time in over a decade it feels weird to say: I am excited for a Sonic Game
Sonic Generations was hype as shit though
+Renzythegreat91 High level modern Sonic play is even more hype.
Both Generations AND Sonic Colours turned out to be excellent games. However I wasn't all that optimistic until after release when I actually played it... Before them we had a trio of really bad games Sonic 06, Secret Rings and Black Knight were all absolute garbage. The late 00's are like the Sonic series' dark ages. May it never return.
First time i'm excited for a Sonic game since Sonic Generations
David Fernando Rosado There's only been, like, one main game since Generations though.
The beats on Studiopolis Zone. . . just brings back the Sonic CD vibes.
i was getting a Marvel VS Capcom 2 Vibe ya feel?
+Gilberto Flores I thought I was the only one to get MVC2 vibe from this.
Sounds like something from Sonic Adventure
Was getting a Sonic Adventure vibe.............I miss Sonic Adventure era.
Sound a lot like Stardust Speedway from Sonic CD
UGH! this guy doesn't understand momentum in classic sonic
Nether let's plays I find it really strange how few playtesters do.
it make u want to play it right? that's the point
Mr.NeedleMouse32X He's not trying to finish the game as quickly as possible smh. Sega knows that players are going to be zipping through stages with super sonic speed, but the purpose of this video was to showcase the different level designs and choices Christian Whitehead did with the old/new levels. Hence why he slowed down to show the audience what's new in the game, like Greenhill zones underground portion
Ah, cut him some slack. If he just races through the levels, then we, the viewers, aren't going to see much, now are we?
Sonic?
vs Sonic exe
⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠➡↙🔜⤴🔄🔃⬅⤵😨
The amount of creativity packed into this demo is amazing.
Am i the only one who was like "WHOA" when i saw caves in Green Hill Zone?
Nope. Same here. Gave it a whole different feel in a good way....Honestly, that's the only major difference I saw for that level, besides the boss (obviously)
i almost cried.
Кейти Тамира The area where there is the monitor has the Rings was supposed to have only 3 rings and an invincibility and there was no way to go to the cave
Nope. I love the new addition to Green Hill Zone.
Dude no joke I said the same thing lmao i'm kidding xD
This my friends is how you redeem Sega after the terror that was Sonic Boom.
truuuuuue
So true lol
Fire and ice is kinda good tho, But that's just my opinion :P
Maybe they had more than one playtester this time.
Chaos Shadow NOOOOOOO THEY ACTUALLY HAD PLAYTESTERS THIS TIME LOL
As someone who was born in 1997 and grew up playing every single Sonic game on my brothers' old Genesis, I FINALLY feel like I'm witnessing something amazing happening to the Sonic series. It fills me with deep nostalgia and excitement.
Sega, you did it, you magnificent bastards did it....
Classic Sonic, 16-bit feel, good music, the only good characters, how!!?
the_randomizer I agree.
the_randomizer yeah "sega"
the_randomizer Actually a fan did and Sega made it official
If you didn't know the game was made with hackers and modders...so I'm guessing hackers and modders are good with making sonic games?
Thatoneguy21 and I would.
That mini boss music is fuckin' dope.
It really is super incredible!
im gonna need to buy the ost for this game when it comes out
That New Jack Swing boss music.... mmmmmmmm delicious.
+NapalmJustice
Just like Sonic 2 and Sonic CD 😊
These guys know what Sonic's all about.
That track was the only thing I didn't like in the whole video.
Simply marvelous
Obligatory Hooba Dooba.
hooba dooba
hurry and make this years Sonic Christmas
+Balenaproductions So people already have their 4th of July gear up get going boi
+Balenaproductions Eh im just happy you replied. With all seriousness i love the Sonic Christmas Series its how i found your channel
Watching this guy play hurts
He's trying to show the level as much as he can, thats why he keeps going backwards.
What's the problem?
Yeah, what's the problem for exploring the level in a Sonic game?
he sucks
T sight read the description boy he’s right your wrong
I could watch that start up screen over and over!
It's so good!
The point where he jumped "underneath" Greenhill, blew my childhood mind :) i can't funkin wait to play this!
That seriously caught me off guard too!
I wonder what other new areas will be explored in classic zones? Cavernous Green Hill was such an exciting sight!
I know right! Can't wait to explore more remade classic zones!
Another great moment was when greenmail got "taller" and got a whole knew higher set of platforms! :D
One3rdNinja Yeah, that was really surprising, it's taken a very _Sonic CD_ style in terms of stage construction (although a little more coherently).
Maybe they'll re-introduce some missing zones from Sonic 2 Beta, like Christian did with Hidden Palace Zone on the iOS remake?
So how bout that Mirage Saloon zone
Now this is the Sonic The Hedgehog I remember can't wait when does this game come out?
Spring 2017
May 31st 2017
Actually, smart-ass, that's when the Collectors Edition comes out, so I'm pretty sure Sonic Mania will be released then. Take your L somewhere else.

"This item will be released on May 31st, 2017."
Have to say, I absolutely love this! Looks sick man, what a treat is going to be pulling out the switch from my bag at lunch break and have a blast with this phenomenal looking game. I need it in my life, stat.
That soundtrack though!! And the gameplay looks amazing... so hyped for the game to come out!
Am I the only one who is hoping Metal Sonic is in this?
You're not the only one. ;)
I hope that shadow comes in the game, but in the trailer they only said that sonic,tails and knuckels were in the game :(
xXTRAPXx
I love Shadow but there's no way he'll appear in this game, absolutely no way as they're not using characters that appeared post-Adventure.
xXTRAPXx Shadow is shit
Uzoma Iwuagwu :(
*Gasp* A game that isn't getting a petition to get canceled! This throws off the balance of the universe! I gotta change that right now!!! JJ

ikr
This looks like something that could have been on Dreamcast, and in some aspects, the Saturn, and that's a beautiful thing. The Dreamcast was the last time Sega felt like Sega. Seems like they are finally trying to bring back the old Sega look and feel from back then. I always wanted them to use the consoles after Dreamcast to continue what they had with that system, but they never did. Here's to hoping they can use the Switch to finally get their act together and show the newer generations how awesome they used to be.
True. Sega began failing hard ironically around Sonic 2 due to the strained tensions between the west and east dev teams. They just didnt like each other much and it sent ripples htorugh the ocmpany. Sure we had Spinball, then 3 and S&K which had that great lock on feature, but they should have forgone the cd choice, and just made the 32x with more company support and bigger game library. PLus if they had then expanded it, like the Nin 64 did with the rumble pack, or just straight up made the Saturn as Segas sole Cd console, but itself 64bit instead of 32, it woulda been cool too. Oh what could have been...lol
Man these levels must be HUGE! I can't wait to get this.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Rings*
Ok. may I have a copy of your credit card and pin number?
this is sonic ! DAY1
aye, Sega has a habit of rushing development. So maaaybe hold off for 2-5 days
+Poliklik Fg I've always wondered why I left the fanbase...
I am so impressed by the attention to detail going into this. Even stuff like letting the blue channel linger during that fade-out right at the start, or the exaggerated distortion in the Mode7-style effects. It really feels like one of the classics. Imagine if other companies made the best out of fan-game development like this.
I got SO HYPED when the boss music came on! And in Studiopolis when Sonic turns into a silhouette behind the window... It's absolutely stunning!
I hope to god they bring back the insta-shield from Sonic 3!
get fucc Actually, the insta-shield was replaced by the drop dash. Although, I'd say that's a pretty good trade off.
get fucc Yes! I have my fingers crossed.
get fucc more like the dash from sonic cd. That was so much fun
Unless they make it a different button, it was replaces with Dropdash
All prayers answered, We all both got the Insta Shield and the Super Peel Out!
Welcome back, Sega. Now please don't rush your games again. Its not a speedrun.
I think Atlus saved SEGA.
***** Can you provide a source to it? No wikipedia please.
The Xavier Fans Well, sonic 06 was really bad, same for sonic free riders and sonic boom. In sonic boom, theres an infinite jump glitch where you can skip most of the game. And all 3 are so glitchy its borderline unplayable.
However, Mania looks a lot better.
SilverHunterN I don't think Free Riders is entirely at fault. It's mostly on the Kinect. Give the game a PC port and it would be just as good as the rest of the Riders series if not better.
Mania looks a lot better because they have Christian Whitehead working on the game. If you have been paying attention to the Sonic scene, he's the dude that made the remakes of the classic games with his Retro Engine, which has Sonic running at a GLORIOUS 60fps.
Studiopolis reminds me of Collision Chaos from Sonic CD.
Incense Inky Balboa ikr
The music reminds me of Stardust Speedway from Sonic CD
dr. crab I respect your comment, but Sonic CD is a gorgeous game.
What story can you expect from a sonic game 😎
+dr. crab Read the American manual of Sonic CD, you can understand and play the game on the original console to view the real gameplay.
This looks fantastic. Need more games like this in my life.
Talk about nostalgia. I used to go through Green Hill Zone as a kid and collect all the rings. When I saw the new areas my eyes lit up. I can't wait!
Everyone rolls too much instead savoring that bad ass running animation.
I tend to do it out of paranoia that I might barrel headlong into a dickishly placed enemy.
+DoWeKiteFaust That's why everyone does it XP
It's because rolling can be used to build speed and momentum. Also because rolling puts you into an attack state, so it's safer in certain situations.
You actually gotta do that in the classic games unless you want to run smack into a enemy, at least till you know the stage layout by heart.
Plus you gain a lot of speed from rolling
Everyone? There are a lot of people that play these game without rolling and it makes me cringe due to how slow it is during supposedly fast sections.
I am the only one frustrated because it looks like the one playing never played a sonic game in his life?
Par for the course for Polygon. Just like that Doom video they did. These people are only interested in games for the social commentary and drama; they don't actually play games.
You are not the only one. I cringed so many time.
+arcticblue2 He was trying to show off the entire zone. Seriously, would you really enjoy it if he'd blast off for 30 seconds, and that'll be it to satisfy for you classic players? Some people would actually enjoy the exploration, you know. I'm sorry, not trying to be mean, but it just irks me when people jump to conclusions. -_-
Lefty 143 Yes, I can understand that but seriously, sometimes he was just dying and retrying and came back to places we've seen before, if you want to explore the game, the best way to do it is to buy it and test it!
I understand that as well, but we still have 4 long months to wait. Especially for me since I preordered it. 😅
I'm sorry for snapping.
I've been playing sonic since the early 90s and this is exactly what I want!
For everyone hating on this vide because he isn't going fast enought. This is a video of a demo from before the game came out and it's supposed to show off the zones as good as possible.
This game looks amazing. Can't wait to play It. hopefully they bring back Super Sonic throughout all the levels.
I Just Hope he doesn't eat the Chaos Emeralds. Anyone who saw Sonic goes Berserk knows that would be bad.
What do you mean by "eat"?
+CJjonaz
like literally eat them
alxxpspqr if it was released on Sega Saturn. Why would Sega release a game on one of their main rivals console
because they leave the console market
If there's multiplayer I'm gonna scream!
Same *wants a rainbow dash option but knows it won't happen*
rainbow dash?
How about the ability to play as shadow the hedgehog instead because we must have EDGYNISS
Underfell Sans The edgy skeleton edginess*
Underfell Sans The edgy skeleton Shadow aint a classic Sonic character so no.
As soon as Green Hill Zone came onto the screen, the widest and most genuine smile appeared on my face.
Sonic 1 was the first game I ever owned as it came with my Sega Genesis 25 years ago. Sonic Mania is looking great, and it will be fantastic to be able to have my kids grow up playing Sonic too.
Studiopolis Zone from Sonic Mania should be a New Sonic Stage for the New Smash Bros. game for Switch.
ultraalexman ¿this is true or false?
Shearman360 I bet you feel pretty dumb right now.
Sonic 4's looking good
Surprised to hear Sonic 4 1-up jingle in this game.
That is the worst thing you've ever said, Hitler.
Adolf Hitler It's not terrible, it's just fairly average and a bit dull. And I had a lot of issues with the level design and music in episode 2. The Tails stuff was flow breaking and annoying. But my real issue is it's called "Sonic 4" but its gameplay really isn't anything like Sonics 1-3. Rolling and momentum play no part in the gameplay when they were the most important parts of the old ones
+Edward Head wassup somecallmejohnny 2.0!

Everything looks so fluid and smooth in this game, I feel like the fast parts of the game are really gonna shine. This footage gave me so much Sonic nostalgia, can't wait to play it!
I've never, ever pre-ordered anything in my life and I'm almost 30. Thanks for changing that, Sonic Mania.
See? You don't need HD models to make an amazing game!
Gustavo Colombini yeah! Indie games like shovel knight and Minecraft proved that :p
minecraft is only this popular because of a tiny temporary loophole in youtube's system multiple years ago. It has the same quality as roblox AKA it is a meme game.
Screw the future people on this comments section reading this and complaining minecraft is shit
@@thejojomonado3647 Say what now
@@thejojomonado3647 I have loved Minecraft even when it was hated and nothing can stop that.
And you must need good music for zones! Like studiopolis
I want this game so bad. Announce a release date already!
+ʟuɪɢɪvsɢamɪnɢ it's mericain time so q1 2017
It'll prolly be released in March
So they can postpone? Nah.
Announce when it's nearly done.
+Rachel Flores So march and june?
wish mega man x remake looked this good
all Christian whitehead needs is the red baseball cap: "MAKE SONIC GREAT AGAIN"
anywho, this may play well with old school sonic fans like yours truly but I wonder how the public will take to this. visually speaking it is a step backwards. It wont have the flash of sonic 4. But this may not be a bad thing. Crossing fingers. If anyone can pull this off its Christian Whitehead.
This spritework is amazingly well done, and has a charm that 3D models could never hope to compete with. It is anything but a step backwards.
illshouyu I cant disagree with you on that. I hope this one does well........I think those secret areas for the large rings that aren't there as of yet will take you to the special stages that came out in whiteheads earlier video....which people thought were bonuses in a future sonic 3 and knuckles for Iphone.
*A blue baseball cap
a blue cap would make more sense for sonic. the red one should be knuckles and the yellow one tails.
This is beyond good. This is beyond great. THIS IS FRICKING AWESOME
The animations are beautiful and the music is awesome! The music for Studiopolis reminds me of Sonic Adventure. Can't wait to play this for myself!
Studiopolis is just... wow. Incredible music, beautiful stage - it reminds me of the three "fun" zones from the classics (Spring Yard, Casino Night and Carnival Night) with a bit of Oil Ocean - and the little gimmicks are actually pretty neat, especially the satellite dish warps and the silhouette segments. This may just edge out Casino Night to become my new favorite zone.
this would never be possible without blast processing.
the last time I've been hyped for a sonic game was sonic generations..... its been a while... here we go again
The song for studiopolis is awesome I love it! Man i wish this would come to the switch, I'm not a sonic fan but I'd definitely buy this game, the studiopolis zone blows my mind! The music and the layout it's amazing!
My profile picture perfectly depicts my reaction to that entire big ass unground section in Green Hill. My god!
The new invincible song is quite good
it will have to grow on me. It seems ok to me. I loved that boss fight. that was unique
The music for the invincibility is good, but I don't like the fact it sounds like cats meowing xD
It isnt for Sonic CD?
DatTechStuff Its not cats meowing, its using a YM2612 style of synth to make a classic Sonic sound for the music the whole game is using it.
branaa09 It's a joke, we all know it's not really cats meowing lol
This is fucking remarkable! :D Loving the music, and this really smells like good, old Sonic level design at work, here. Just seems difficult to lose.
Oh, what we got there? A masterpiece? Yes. Thats some amazing game i see right there
I absolutely love the fact this game seems to use sounds from all different Sonic Games. Even at 10:02 you can hear the teleporter hole sound from Sonic Spinball!
they should add a stage map that looks like the island on the title screen
(long island?)
True
Samzhere they should make a level editor :D
Prajiturel
Hell yes!
Ahh, feels like we have a sonic maker in our hands if the community wants it
this looks like a masterpiece. congrats to the team who created it
At 5:22 and 12:15 Sonic's signpost winks a job well done nice Job Taxman and co. Love the animation cannot wait for updates this year
So beautiful! So many new pathways! Sounds excellent! Just everything about this game... so great!
Loving the Pink Pot sign from the first Streets of Rage game at the start of Studiopolis. Nice touch.
MrMikehunt87 I've been hoping for that since sega, the best we got was fighting force for ps1 and cannon spike for dc
Green Hill has to be up there as one of the greatest pieces of video game music of all time. What a belter. And a great arrangement from Tee Lopes, as well.
I am constantly baffled that people with zero experience playing basic video games are somehow entitled in this world to high-paying jobs as gaming journalists.
John Redcorn why they should play this gold before us??
>high-paying
Eirykr i'd work that job for *free*
John Redcorn Read the description smart ass.
Killzer D just because they are exploring the game does not give the person playing an excuse for them to have enough time to jump out of the way of an enemy but just ran right into them or walking into spikes that they had the time and momentum to move out of the way of.
Wait... did Sega make this game? This looks too good for a modern day Sonic.
Well, it's actually made by Christian Whitehead, who created the Retro Sonic engine, and by Headcannon, which is owned by Stealth, the lead creator of Sonic Megamix. They also remade Sonic 1 and 2 for Android and iOS devices.
So Sonic Mania is kinda fanmade, but also being published by Sega.
Elitezen Of course... because over the past 15 years every time Sega has released a new Sonic game it's been crap... so I've stopped paying attention to Sonic.
SpectrumUK I loved Sonic Megamix! I guess I'll have to buy this one.
Sonic Unleashed?
Sonic Generations?
Generations was the only exception. Unleashed was just a horrid idea.
I'm soo playing this day one with a retro Sega Genesis controller plugged in my PC. You cannot play a classic sonic game without one!!
On an old CRT TV!
Yeah you can
ps4 controller*
I've played several without one just fine.
OniLordMiki Wow,uuuh. You must be fun at parties.
THE MUSIC!, omg the remixes and the new zone, I can't wait to see what you hey do with the rest of the zones, gg sega
omg the rings are so stereo. or is it some pan automation
the sega version original did this...
epic gameplay!
Isn't it?
Hope there's some sonic&tails co op. Classic sonic games made the best couch co ops.
Pretty sure there will be
Sonic 2 multiplayer was real fun
Knuckles is in it as a playable character too!! so hyped for this!! 😃
If they do I hope they make it similar to sonic 4 ep 2 except with a lot less forced team special areas.
This seriously is doing it for me. It's so like what I remember, only better but in this subtle and sublime way
This looks amazing. I want it now!
If '06 was a cancer, Mania is the cure.
I thought that was Colors or Unleahsed. Sonic Rush even.
Samir Malik Well then. Boom was the cancer.
SteveTheUltimate which is ironic because Fire and Ice is getting some pretty decent to positive reviews
And I'm here, patiently waiting for another Boost-formula game...
-This game looks pretty fun tho.-
That comes out Holiday 2017 look up Sonic Project 2017
project sonic 2017 dude. look it up
Yeah, I didn't do my research.
I've heard of Project Sonic '17, but didn't really know anything about it.
Now I hope it delivers.
Wait, what?
wait..wh-
Wow this shit looks amazing now this is what a Classic Sonic game is supposed to look and sound like awesome job!
I teared up seeing that new level and the music and everything is just so nice
Invincibility music was a real disappointment though
How?
yup. i wish they would use the original sonic 1 music for that
I thought that too but I didn't like the music in S&K either, and it didn't really take my enjoyment away from the game. Even in Sonic 3 it was a bit annoying.
so far all the music in this game is a disappointment
GamingHeaven Are you saying the Green Hill Zone remake is stupid?
Totinos, Totinos, hot pizza rolls...
Enderz ComX Fnaf is garbage
Haven't heard that a billion times. :^)
Now, I haven't brought up FNAF anywhere, so why don't you take the lil stick out of your ass and try to be pleasant for once.
Enderz ComX but fnaf *IS* garbage.
Lizard Life Lol, who do you think you are? You can't take anyone's comments.
kk
Okay I was impressed with the 2nd levels music!! i can't stop listening to it.
Back to the old-school, huh? It's nice to see you again, Sonic 😄
RELEASE A PSN/XBOX LIVE DEMO ALREADY SEGA PLZ!!
Also this soundtrack is really good!.. It reminds me of Sonic CD!
Steam too xD
The game has just been announced. And it's coming in 2017, be patient.
I seriously hope Sega puts this game out on the previous PSN/X-Box Live as well. The PlayStation 3 and the X-Box 360 aren't exactly dead yet.
Steam Demo too
It's great to see sonic and mario going back to their roots. hopefully we can get a mario maker style game for sonic.
This is definitely a step in the right direction for Sonic. I like the simplicity and feel of the classic games, and this game really reminds me of that. I'm excited for this game!
I know this is 5 years ago but I still need to state my opinion. I wish that Sonic Team would just delete every 3d model they have and continue their franchise with the classic 2d. It's way better than 3d and with the simplicity of it we don't need a huge story since the team is, well, bad at making them.
@@HouseMDLover69 dogshit take
I'm getting this one on day one. I will always remember when I brought home a Gen and played this back in 92. I became an instant Sega fan. It had great replay value.
Cannot wait for this game to release, hopefully they're release a demo just to calm us down.
this game will be suitable for sega saturn
who's voting for a sega saturn mini console ?
Nour kheshane I'm still waiting for the Sega Neptune lol
hisham kheshane Sega Pluto
Sega Uranus lmao
Sega Earth xD
That's pretty good..... i can see elements from so many classic Sonic games
It's so interesting to see new sprites in old games. I love that 🔥
This game looks hella dope. This is what I've wanted since I was 9 years old.
This better have chaos emeralds and super sonic
I'm 90% sure it will, don't whine about it
That wire frame ring is going to be an entrance to a special stage
They already confirmed that chaos emeralds and Super Sonic are in this game.
If they added Hyper Sonic....
i wish hyper sonic was canon
+Henrique Vieira Fernandes I really want Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckles, and Super Tails to be in this game.
OMG!!!! I´m 40 and i can´t wait to put my hands on this game. THIS IS REAL SONIC GAME!!!!! I´m very excited, all my dreams about a new sonic game came true. Thanks for everyone that create this game.
I'm honestly so excited. This is all the old school Sonic fans ever wanted
