HIS VICTORY ANIMATION IS BEAUTIFUL.
Dayz Matter undeniable
Dayz Matter HOLY CRAP YED
so tru
Did..
Did..
Did the sign just blink?
JazzHands ofDoom Yes, and?
Wow. I'm really impressed. The music, the detailed graphics/stages, the character animations, level design. This game completely captures the classic sonic feel. Can't wait to see the other levels and buy this game.
I don't think we'll see more until spring 2017
+nitro mario Haven't you heard? They showed us another level: Mirage Saloon Zone. I won't spoil anything, but it's definitely a sight to see. 😃
Lefty 143 i know that but after mirage saloon we wont see anymore
+nitro mario How do ya know?
***** :P
So many colors! Nice breather from all the gray we get nowadays!
Yeah, no shit, we have systems that can push millions of colors yet we only seem to get games that have several shades of brown, gray and black. Because you know, edgy and dark.
hey hey I've seen plenty of colorful modern games y'know
but I see your point
I might do a playthrough on this. Hopefully I have some help on pre ordering the game.
This soundtrack is already getting me extra hyped for this game. Reminds me of the Christmas break when I got the Sega CD and Sonic CD. I had never heard game music that awesome until I played that game.
So happy to have solo Tails gameplay back!
Last time was Sonic Advance 2*.
Endri Lauson not out of mech
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen I said ADVANCE 2, not _Adventure_ 2.
***** oh sorry. I was still a bit tired when I was posting that :P
Endri Lauson If you really want to be technical it was the Sonic CD remake.
It's very difficult to catch from the footage as we see him spinning all the time, but Tails during going very fast, you can literally see him tuck his body down a bit which really adds to that sense of speed. Really liking that "thing."
If you're talking about when he is running forward,he's actually leaning his upper torso forward and leaning his arms and leg back behind him,basically using his hands,tails,head in a similar fashion to say a spoiler on a car,in others: aerodynamics
I love it! Just like Sonic 3 & Knuckles, they got level design that caters towards every character's abilities. And the other characters are optional! This is how it should always be. For both 2D and 3D Sonic Games 😊
Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy You can tell this game was made with Sonic 3, the best of the Classic series, in mind.
TheBlue Typhoon17
Yeah. You can see a lot of Sonic 3 & Knuckles with a dash of Sonic CD.
Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy Yep, with the soundtrack in particular.
Still doesn't exactly make it all that worth it to purchase this game.
How is that? This game is following the formula of the best game in the series and has the creative minds of passionate Sonic fans behind it. That makes it more than qualified for a purchase. This is shaping up to be the best game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
this game has gotten me in tears, there are only 3 zones rn and im so excited
Same.
yinka adeyemi 4 C:
yeah, now we got the flying battery zone with the same beautiful song :D
Not the same but slightly better
Your personal Stalker For one dollar I say slightly worse then the original song, but hey at least it won't get stuck in my head anymore (I'm still humming that song)
OH MY GOD, THAT TAILS LEVEL END ANIMATION IS SO OUTSTANDING
I agree! This game is looking beautiful so far!
THE SIGN BLINKED AT ME!
Look who's here!
So wait...tails can break those monitors by touching them while flying??? That's a new quirk right there.
+MrOnyxWolf I've done it before in one of the previous games. It's not new.
That quirk has actually been in Sonic 3 and Knuckles and the Advance series. Tails can damage enemies if he's under them while flying.
MrOnyxWolf
Nah, you can do that in nearly every iteration where Tails has a flight ability.
It's not intentional. Here's a direct quote from the lead designer, Taxman "Yeah, it's not meant to happen, the problem was with the animation ID in the collision code (game dev hooray!)"
Tails is meant only to harm enemies by touching them with his tails while they rotate. Objects under Tails should not take damage, and in the case of enemies they should instead damage Tails.
***** I didn't mean that it's a new intentional feature, I mean he wasn't able to do it prior to this game.
Stage Design is like if Casino Night Zone and Chemical Plant Zone had a baby
PyroPorygon
I'd argue Spring Yard/ Starlight level design with a more Casino Night look.
Better Speed Highway....
Will tails still be able to kill enemies with his flying tail animation, like in Sonic 3????
2chickenbone
Looks like it. He broke an Item Box in this footage with flying.
Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy and enemies
At 9:34 Tails actually does kill an enemy less than a second after he starts flying.
I cannot wait to play this Zone! Out of all the classic Sonic games this has got to be one of the most scenic zones yet! I love the layout of the level and the obstacles. I also like the subway train in the background. Definitely a nice big city theme. Not to mention the music. Great track!
Man, that sound effect from Sonic Spinball...
Hot damn that soundtrack is so good
From the looks of it, there's so much character in this game. The music is just amazing too.
The sprite rippers are going to have a field day when this comes out.
Love the animation on Tails. The way the speak of his tails blows his hair when flying is a great touch.
Strange seeing Tails break item boxes from above while flying. He's supposed to only break item boxes underneath by only using his two tails in the other games.
Guess you can't fly then land on any item boxes on this game.
That surprised me too! I expected to have to land on them and THEN jump like in S3&K, but I guess they changed it for Sonic Mania. -Nick
I think it's supposed to be so you can get more air time when exhausted, as you bounce off them more when higher.
Yeah I thought it was a bit weird as well. It could be intentional but maybe it is just a glitch with the early build of the game (like how tails turns into sonic for a few frames at 3:09).
It was confirmed to be a glitch, and it probably won't work this way in the final game.
Yes, however SEGA has managed to balance this feature out. Notice how when tails hits an item box while flying he gains height, this makes it harder to go fast, combine that with the fact that it takes ages for tails to land after hitting one during flight. I think it wasn't a bad idea to incorporate that gimmick
miles "tails" is my favorite.
The music is amazing... the level design is amazing... the retro graphics are amazing... I can't wait to play this game!
The music is so good!
I literally screamed when he started bouncing the sign post around
I hyped so hard when he passed the screen.You don't know how happy that made me
Mirage Saloon & Studiopolis quickly became my favourite soundtracks in the series
The smoothness of the animation gives me life. It’s amazing!
wow! the sprite work is amazing! How did it take so long to make a new sonic game in the old style that looks this great?
His new victory animation is like "I'm just happy to be here!" We know you are, buddy. ^.^
I also like how you can still outrun the camera if you get going fast enough.
I wish tails looked cooler while flying and not slumped over like that. Looks better than any other sonic though. The bounce and spring animations are legit! Can't wait to play it!
Tawaan Brown
I kinda like the slump tbh, cute even if it's not necessarily cool IMO
S Watson oh yeah I do remember that actually. Talk about old school right?! Yeah. It's defiantly not a make or break thing for me. I just love the way tails looks when he's gliding at max speed and wish his flying looked better. Hahaha.
He has a hurt box below him during his flying animation. That's OP.
Taxman said it was a glitch, as per a different comment on this video.
what does op mean???
overpowered
Wtf is a hurt box?
In game dev, a hurt box is a state in the collision code which tells that every other bounding box intersecting with this hurt box must run a routine for "taking damage", if applicable. It's also knows as "hit box", "damage box", "bounding box" or "collision box". There is no standard way to call it; it is up to the software engineer(s) to come up with their own convention (as long as they stay consistent and stick to it throughout the code).
im waiting 20 years to play this!!!!! I CANT WAIT MORE!!!
later: do knuckles
Done! th-cam.com/video/R8zmICz4q_8/w-d-xo.html
-Nick
It's gonna take a while to get used to Tails breaking boxes while flying!
Julio Cesar and badnicks too! xD
Julio Cesar i ever raged on tahat
Julio Cesar i ever raged on that
Julio Cesar and drop dash
I like how the popcorn machine that seems a little off to this stage is a reminder of an actual Sonic Arcade Game that makes actual popcorn
That's the Sonic game we all know and love!
I've always loved tails running animation. Probably why I instantly liked him more than Sonic when playing 2 and 3&k as a kid. Weird I know, but the whole thought of him propelling himself and gaining momentum by using his tails as propellers was super cool to me, and they certainly refined the animation here.
The wait for this game is killing me. It looks amazing
Ah Miles “Tails" Prower my favorite character
I'm loving the music I've heard so far in this game. The old school look seems perfect too!
The invincibility music in Sonic Mania sounds a rejected Sonic CD song.
This entire game is trying to be Sonic CD. Weirdly enough, of all things, this game does _not_ replicate the Sonic CD camera.
I have to say, they've finally done it. They made Tails' flying animation make sense. Instead of infinitely twisting, they twist one way, then the other way really rapidly- which explains why he tires so quickly. They still don't have him tucking his tails under his legs for the Spindash, but I think it's better that way for some odd reason.
And that adorable fox spin when he hits an upward spring [4:24]
This Sonic game looks more like an actual sequel from the 90's, I like that. I really want this game!
Shut up and take my money ^_^
I know that Sonic level design is complex, but this is a whole new level. It will take years, similar to the classics, for people to find all the secrets in this game without cheating.
This honestly looks fantastic, I'm glad they have gone back to Sonic's 16Bit (when Sonic games were good) 2D platforming roots
Will definitely buy this
Good ol' silent Tails.
I think Tails being able to bust monitors while he's flying now is a small but neat touch.
I just love Tails's Victory animation here better than in Sonic 3! EPIC
This! It reminds me of friday nights playing sega genesis with my cousins. Sega's music is what really made its games stand out. Sonic, Ristar, Shinobi and the Streets of Rage series. When playing the games with friends it felt like you were having your own party with amazing music to go with it from the game. I get that weekend party feeling with this Sonic title. Im so excited for this game!!!
Tails now has the ability to smash monitors while flying.
That player was like "Video says 12 minutes, but I finished in 10...Imma just bounce the sign for the last 2 minutes."
Everything about this game is beautiful
So I think it's safe to agree that Sonic 4, though not bad, never happened, and that this is the actual Sonic 4. This is the first Sonic game in a very long time that feels like a Genesis-era Sonic game.
Besides that, HOT DAMN, that music bops!
Tails is best when he stays quiet, like the little shy Sonic-wannabe he used to be. This is the most I've liked him since they turned him to a boy genius.
And his victory dance is dawww.
When I hear this stage song....I can't stop smiling
I feel like a kid again. This is amazing! I am looking forward to playing this game. I wonder if they have a boss battle mode of all bosses. That would be an amazing experience but I could see that being an unlockable.
the new flying and victory look is nice
Having those bug enemies to keep you from abusing the flying mechanic was a great idea. You can only attack them from jumps, and if you spend too long dodging them you'll run out of flight time. Bravo.
Actually tail can fly into enimies from below and kill them so it's not just jumps
American Burger Gamer I remember that in Sonic 3. Was that confirmed for Sonic Mania?
Yes
Only Polygon would play a Sonic game and continuously go left instead of right
I hope they release this for the nintendo switch
first Polygon starts indulging Griffin's fetishes in his videos, and now Nick's. Is Phil next? find out next time, on Polygon Z.
Late on the comment, but his tails are REALLY well animated. They've got like 3 or 4 stages of movement during his speed buildup.
Genuinely get nostalgic goosebumps from the soundtrack around 40 seconds onwards, even though it's' original music just sounds so traditional 16 bit soundtrack :)
Hopefully the CRT filter can be disabled.
Cyclone The Fox it's an option
Thanks for the info.
Cyclone The Fox What does the CRT filter do ?
It gives it that old-ish TV screen. Try Googling it.
I hope the have different filters to select from, like 25% scanlines for example
Honestly I love the new looks for all three characters, it's just a step up above the last, like how the older games were, they changed with each release but gaining a little more detail and a few new moves but I can tell you the only ones who are going to be ranting about this being upset is the "Fanboys" who are begging for immense graphics and bad puns over enjoyable gameplay which requires some skill to play so it is not hard to tell Mania will sell great due to the fact its hyped up all the older real fans of the games because this is what they wanted since after SA2. I am just glad SEGA finally took it into account and realized, need be it took them years though to see what people cared about. Mania is for the real classic fans, Boom is for the dumb kids and Project 2017 is for the ones in between who preferred Adventure.
Edgy gamer - so many colorz! This is kiddy
Edgy gamer - Dark and bloody, yes because I'm adult
haha, anyways this game looks fantastic!
these graphics are new and the music tho its awsome and the skin and the animations there outstanding
Oh! That thing that attacked Tails! It was a SHUTTERBUG!
MAN, That broadcast teleport.
I just want to be the art student and point out how well designed the level is visually. Like, this could have easily been fucked up but they have the right amount of neon and colour balance so that nothing is really an eyesore like it could be.
I love how that chair when you sit on it it makes a “Zzzzzz” noise
Yo, this music though. This is what we needed.
May Miles Tails fly anytime? Awesome!!!
Lemme just say this sound track is amazing. Sonic CD you better watch out!
Who in the right mind would pass this game up for $20? Id pay more if i had to.. This is hard to believe. Sonic actually making a comeback bigger than ever with the whole 90s vibe & everything..
takes me back to the Genesis days.... ohhhh I can't wait to feel like a kid again haha
i am so excited for this god damn Video Game
I like their cartoony look, btw did Modern Sonic Experience this before Generations, won't that mean this game is new but...old?
Tails looks amazing!!
That "Pink Bot" sign is very similar to the "Pine Pot" sign from the first stage of Streets of Rage 1. Gimme all of my childhood!!!!
Fantastic!
FINALLY a really good Sonic game. =DD
Tails is so adorable. Hes always been my favorite.
Tails can't look cuter than with these new sprites. That combined with Sonic's more cartoonish style really gives it a bit more warmth.
Will the game be moddeable (In Steam obviously) or something like it?
Probably not official modding support, but I have no doubt in mind that people are going to find ways to mod the game. It's pretty much the spirit of Sonic ROM hacking becoming realized.
Matias Zuran well this game is made using the same engine used for the Sonic CD Steam port (and also mobile ports of Sonic 1 and 2), and some people made ways to mod sonic cd, so its possible to mod this game too
This looks freaking awesome.
Dude, that`s so FUNKY! !:D
I hope there will be many different worlds in this game and it'll be 10/10 without question.
The music is excellent, and yet I believe that music from the first games can not be outdone)
YOU DIED FROM STANDING STILL!!! Do you tell your guys "stretch the gameplay out as long as you can, we have 10 minutes to fill"?
This game is going to be perfect
You know super forms are gonna be a thing, when your half way through 1 ZONE and you have 127 rings....
How many times they had sold their souls to make a such nice OST?!
Tails has toddler strength. He can break monitors with his fist while flying!
Franchise is revived...Aren't you?
I love Tales! I didn't know you could be Tales in this game. He's so cute!!! :3
I love how the "Pink Bot" logo you see at 9:19 is blatant homage to the 1st level in Streets of Rage (also owned by Sega)
7:05 love that animation :)
The soundtrack is amazing.
