Oh yeah, this is all tomorrow. I can't wait to somehow be disappointed in an all-Sonic Kart racer despite that totally being my jam if it wasn't replacing Sega Smash Kart!

Been thinking about it and I kinda don't want dlc levels tbh. Making Egg Reverie a single act level or extending the criminally short Mirage Saloon 2, sure. I mean, more Mania zones would be great and I'd definitely play them. But the game already feels complete, and is the perfect length for an arcade style single sitting playthrough. More zones wouldn't make the game feel any more fulfilling imo. They might even detract a bit from being able to so easily play the whlole damn thing straight through.

I guess I'd just...rather see that effort put into Mania 2?

Yup. This is the first I'm hearing of Project Plus, but to be honest, I just want a new Mania.

You know you've been playing too much Monster Hunter when you dream about Project Plus solely adding a palette swapped Azure Flying Battery Zone 0_0

Likely:
IDW comics info
Movie info
Sonic Boom info
Racing game info
Memes

Good chance:
Info on the Mania team's next project or Mania DLC
Some collection, port or re-release announcement(s) of some kind
Some strange third-party collaboration no one could guess or have any strong opinion on either way

Unlikely:
Super vague tease of the next Sonic Team project

Necessary:
Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 release date

Rise of Lyric Switch

Yeah Beef but his games SUUUUUUCK.

"we made this cool little combat system and some dope NPC designs including this poncho wearing sniper squid, how should we bring it all together?"
"I've got it, TOWER DEFENSE, trial and error edition"

Up yours vanpool!

I like Mighty and Ray, and it's cool they're finally playable again, but I'd rather had had playable Amy, tbh.

Not crazy about Mighty or Ray. Classic Espio and Vector would have been much cooler. Or Honey.

Absolutely majorly looking forward to this though. I wish we could have seen how some of the remixed levels will play out, like even a minor explanation would have been nice to hear.

I didn't know Mighty and Ray was something I wanted, but here we are. I would've expected Classic Amy w/ her Advance moveset before Ray, though.

Should be nice to see them with Saturn tier animation like the rest of the cast, though.

On one hand, I hoped Mighty and Ray would show back up in a certain rival capacity to Sonic & Tails in a new game with them providing a Knuckles-style central conflict.

On the other hand, it's Mighty and Ray for the first time in forever. Also Super Mighty and Super Ray will be a thing if they dare. In terms of a purely business decision Plus really shows that someone at Sega has their head on right.

Can't wait to hear more on the R.

i remember stumbling on the actual special on MTV while I was channel surfing one night

i was dumbfounded because of the randomness, but the music was good so I chilled
The first time I heard it, it was off a burned CD my older sister made from songs she got of Kazaa or whatever. Spent the longest time thinking it was just some fanmade mashup 'til I saw the concert special.

Hopefully the Mania Plus digital upgrade is reasonably priced 'cause while those reversible covers are sweet I'm not gonna go paying extra just to make a game I already own less convenient to play (I bought the Royal Edition of FFXV 'cause it was cheaper than getting the season pass and upgrade separately and just left the disc to rot in the case since I already bought the download game for twenty bucks last year and then never played it lmao).

Mighty and Ray wouldn't have been my first choices for new characters but as long as they have their own twists and aren't essentially just sprite swaps I'll be happy for an excuse to play through the game a couple more times

Really expected them to show something more substantial for the new racing game, tho

How does the Light Shoes work in Sonic Adventure? I'm trying to follow the ring paths in Casinopolis, I hold B to charge up but I can't seem to chase the Ring trail.
EDIT: NVM I just need to wait for him to say READY and he'll chase the rings @_@

Oh hey, now they have a chance to implement a longer Mirage Saloon Act 2.
OH
MY
GOD

Also, what if, what if
We remove the crummy flying section from act 1 entirely and just get a train stage?

Well to my knowledge, when you release the charge button it activates, do you need to jump up to reach the rings before letting go of the charge?

Halfwya through Sonic's route in Adventure 1 and I enjoy it VISUALLY but gameplay I feel like it's something that one needs to adapt to. Sonic moves way too fast for me to properly control him.

The plot and dialog is pretty laughable so far. Knuckles fucking shit up since 1998, Izuka pls....

Which version are you playing, I don't recall Sonic being too fast.

PC ver. with Dreamcast visuals mod.

FYI he moves too fast for ME, if his speed is fine for you, that's fine.
Ah just making sure since DX ports tends to differenate from the DC version.

IDK If the DC conversion mod does anything regarding the controls, but I do know there's a physics swap mod for the adventure games.

I'll check to see if that one's enabled or not.

Oddly enough I'm getting some screen tearing though that is likely a gsync issue @_@
