Sonic mania art8/16/2023 I’m not a level design buff, but from the footage I’ve seen so far, it looks decent, and wouldn’t screw me over unfairly (I hope). We have good controls and faithful physics. But thanks to other educated Sonic fans who have done their own analysis, played the game, and spoke to people who’ve worked on it, it’s safe to say YES. Regarding the gameplay itself, I was a little worried considering Sonic Team’s recent track record with 2D Sonic and controls. It’s possible that these abilities could add in more interesting elements to what Super forms can do, such as turning into water. An interesting connection I can make between this title and Sonic Frontiers is that an Emerald grants the ability to summon doubles, while in Frontiers, Super Sonic summons clones to deal more damage. The first Emerald you can collect has an ability called Avatar that summons clones of the character. You can choose from a wheel of Emerald Powers, and unleash a unique ability that can help defeat enemies or traverse a path in the level. Each Emerald has a different ability to grant, akin to the Wisps in previous titles. The Chaos Emeralds will have a new unique twist to them this time around. With the recent establishment of adding new modes and other kinds of content in a newly released Sonic game, I hope SEGA could possibly add online co-op in an update. I’ve played Super Mario 3D World online with friends, and it’s quite the fun experience. According to the official website, there is no online co-op, which is pretty disappointing, seeing as this game is the perfect opportunity to implement it. The visuals are vibrant, and some of the level gimmicks are the most unique ones we’ve gotten in a while.įor the first time in a core 2D title, we’re getting proper co-op gameplay, and with up to four players to boot. The 2.5D approach feels like a natural evolution of the Classic Sonic formula, especially after already seeing Classic Sonic in Generations and Forces. This is probably an ability many of you have too, right?Īnyway, the initial reveal trailer of the game had me super excited for what’s to come. The wording of Geoff’s introduction to the reveal was a little vague on what game series he may have been referring to, but I’m not lying when I say that my Sonic senses were TINGLING. The reveal of Superstars came as a surprise to me and many others while watching Summer Game Fest’s first-day stream. Here are our thoughts on Sonic Superstars as of right now: SynMania’s thoughts While my fellow team members and I weren’t able to attend this year’s Summer Game Fest to experience the game firsthand, we’ve seen enough footage of it on the show floor to share our first impressions. Thankfully, that isn’t the last we’ll see of the Classic Sonic series this year, and ultimately feels like an appetizer for what’s to come.Ī brand new 2D Sonic experience, Sonic Superstars was recently announced to be coming out later this year featuring the main four characters from the outset. Sonic Origins Plus is coming out later this month, which includes the twelve SEGA Game Gear outings Sonic and company went on, as well as Amy Rose as a playable character in the four main titles. It’s been almost six years since Sonic Mania released, and since then, we haven’t had any core Classic Sonic titles aside from the Sonic Mania Plus DLC in 2018.
