rev up the sonic cycle: Sonic Mania

[Dolphman]

New Flying Battery Zone footage & Knuckles.

Electric shield now gets affected by the ceiling magnets. And some new level arrangement with Wing Fortress Zone's fans added in.

[Dolphman]

So Sonic Forces has a custom character creator. (Inb4 "Original character! DO NOT STEAL!!" XD)


The level's theme music appears to have vocals. It's been six years since last time with Generations' remixes of Escape from the City.
Whoever that female singer is, she's got an amazing voice.

We'll probably get more information on how the creator works and what it has to offer. Obviously likely at E3.

Finally My OC Will Be In Sonic Canon. Next On "Things SEGA SHould Have Put In Games 20 Years Ago",,,,,,,,,, Where's The Chao Garden? What About My Mario And Sonic Crosover Game

[DioShiba]

Can't wait until I see all the 8th graders, furries, and shit tier sanic fans get their hands on this game.

I should get it just to see if I can make a sonic character that looks bald.

At last, Sega acknowledges my 12-year-old brilliance.

I like how the customizing screen has the cursor moving WAY too fast, probably to mask the fact that there's not many options.

That's one gripe I have with customizing in most games with it, there's sometimes a surprisingly low amount of options. I think one of the better games with customizing was Soul Calibur, even back in 3 it was pretty rad.

First, I'll try and recreate as many of my OCs as I can. Then, I'll try to recreate characters like Fox Mc Cloud and Nabbit.
I hope there are multiple slots for custom heroes.

[Goemar]

Can honestly say I do not care about creating my own Sonic character in the slightest.

As for Chao Garden - oh god, I know it has a massive following from the SA2 NGC 'my first Sonic game' generation but I honestly hope it never returns. The further we get away from that kind of stuff the better.

(Pretty sure Mario and Sonic at the Olympics counts as a cross-over game...)

Now, when is Sonic Mania out...

[Jermungandr]

My God ... this will be the best selling Sonic game ever.

It doesn't even matter if the game turns out to be complete shit. It could be worse than an amalgamation of Sonic '06 and Sonic Boom starring Big the Cat and it will still fly off the shelves just from fulfilling every nine-year-old's fantasy of creating their own Sonic OC. It will sell even better if there's somehow a feature for people to share their creations with their friends.

...

Oh my God, I hope Game Grumps plays this.

I always thought the Chao Garden could be fleshed out into its own spin-off game... In my head, basically an RPG which utilizes the battle system from Sonic Chronicles with the raising and mini-games from SA/2. When you're in the garden, you would control Tikal who can go around and pat the Chao and all that, but when you leave you get to select a team of your own Chao to take with you out into the world, and they go out engaging Eggman's robots and bringing back Small Animals and those fake emerald shards to either make themselves more powerful or to assist in raising new Chao. At some point you could even get the Chao Walker mechs from SA2B multiplayer.

rather speechless after hearing the news.

WOW i wish i was 12 again.

When I was like 7 or younger I saw a drawing my brother did of a yellow Sonic looking character, and I thought that he had made an OC for the longest time.

It turns out it was Ray from the arcade Sonic game, and I have no idea where or when he saw it:

Usually when there's some kind of character customization I like creating the ugliest combination of features and shittiest stats and name it with a name I don't like (usually political figures) so when the character dies, I don't feel too bad

I never made a sonic oc in my life but if I do I'll probably try to recreate Kevin Triebel with this sonic OC creator

[Dolphman]

Of all things to reference for helmet options. That's awesome!

And seeing as cat is one of the options. I'm probably gonna try and attempt to make a Mobian Felicia.

She is inspired by Sonic when you think about it.

That reminds me of PBG with Edeseseserd and Edeseserdert.
