Re: Sonic Mania
it'd be hilarious if Big the Cat made cameos in several of the levels, just to see how many Sonic fans they could collectively piss off just from the mere sighting of him.

But yeah, as the guy who's probably posted the most Sonic(-related) artwork here, I am not even just cautiously optimistic, it is all of my hype right now. ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN
Re: Sonic Mania
Hype is typically a cruel, fickle and unforgiving mistress. However, perhaps she has decided that we have suffered enough in this case and as such has left the rack in the basement.
I think I took that metaphor too far ...

He could make a cameo in the next Duke game. If there is one.Jaxxoon R wrote:Of course, this game will feature only the best character from that era:

Re: Sonic Mania
IIRC, i think that's largely due to people requesting him to do his voice at conventions at stuff, for the sake of poking fun at the character. i'm probably wrong on the details though, but i'd be less inclined to reenact a character i acted or voice-acted it everyone hated or poked fun at the character. then again, this is Big the fucking Cat we're talking about, so he's probably not wanting to get recognition for that.

Re: Sonic Mania
Honestly I would like to see the rest of the classic characters playable, which is far as I know is Amy Rose, (She is annoying but her hammer could lead to some interesting gameplay) Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy the Bee, Vector the Crocodile, and maybe even Metal Sonic. (Who I really hope is a boss in the game, and that you race him like in Sonic CD)

Re: Sonic Mania
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles (the "power trio") are the only ones I need.

Re: Sonic Mania
Am i the only one that liked the ps2 era characters (and thinks Shadow the Hedgehog is a good sonic game)?
Regardless, psyched for this game.

Re: Sonic Mania
I agree. I just think that it would be cool to see them patched in at a later point or something. It doesn't really matter. That being said, I really don't like Tails and Knuckles, so that's where this is coming from.NeuralStunner wrote:Sonic, Tails and Knuckles (the "power trio") are the only ones I need.

Re: Sonic Mania
Honestly, I like pre Sonic Adventure Tails & Knuckles(& Knuckles & Knuckles) but SA and SA 2 totally ruined them for me. I don't mind them in the games after that, but the damage is done.Project Dark Fox wrote:You take that back.xenoxols wrote:I agree.

Re: Sonic Mania
I'm also totally hyped. Still want to see a Sonic Mania & Knuckles' Chaotix addon.
