Wow, Sonic Mania looks amazing, and that Generations "not a sequel" looks pretty cool too.

Sonic Mania may very well be the game that brings back a large amount of fans considering how close it is to the classic Sonic games.

The was a bit reticent at the music in the trailer as it sounded a bit...almost more Game Gear than Genesis/Master System. But those sound very good, I'm a fan. I like that last one a lot!

Third track is more "Sonic" than the first two, I think. As for Mania, physics look dead on. Changes to Green Hill are interesting. Studiopolis will probably grow on me, but aesthetics currently put me off, and what I see as gimmicks like the popcorn machine and the radio transporter thing. Doesn't fit, imo, but as said, possible it'll grow on me. There are parts of the level I like.

Too early to comment on Not Generations 2 game. I just hope it isn't dark in theme like the trailer suggests to me.

Sonic 3 and (especially) Knuckles had a lot of those "gimmicks" though. And I always enjoyed those. Remember the ridiculously elaborate transporter things in Death Egg Zone? Actually, Death Egg Zone is rife with that stuff:

I look at Death Egg zone and think nothing is gimmicky though :monster:. The best analogy I can think of is that I like 1980s and 1990s Lego compared to a lot of Lego that is out now. Simplicity of design, no specialised parts :P. Could very well be my brain going "THAT'S DIFFERENT. I HATEZ IT" too :P.

Apparently it was absolutely terrible (according to what I've read) but it's bizarre and obscure to think that it even exists.

I imagine a Sonic RPG being like a scrolling platformer where you only control the attacks and paths taken, while your support characters collect and give you power-ups (which you slso control). Movement and coin collection is automatic. Something like that any way.

I'm super hyped for Sonic Mania. I wish that "Sonic 4" wasn't already taken.

I loved Sonic in the Genesis era, and Sonic 3D Blast on the Saturn was good (Sonic R was ok), but nothing I played beyond that felt like a legit Sonic game. Even Generations felt not exactly right, though it was beautiful to look at.

I do wish Sega would approve Taxman's Sonic 3 & Knuckles remastered port....

While we can't say that EVERY fan creation will be good it's nice to see that Sega is able to see when they are.

Do you guys remember the short film from a few years back? Sega never seemed to have an issue with that.
