have you considered the sonic 1-3 emeralds were just shown from the top the whole time
This is what I always thought, too.

Oh yeah definitely, I'm 100% sure we're just getting Super forms. Still would be cool though.
I don't think so. While that may seem to be the case based on the design I'm sure SEGA left that concept behind and just had the chaos emeralds take that design from later games onto now.
They've always been referred to as Chaos Emeralds post 3&K, let alone Hyper Sonic's only appearance has been the same game. Super Emeralds only appear in looks alone currently.
Wait a second, Sonic Advance 2 has Chaos Emeralds, the special stage rings were impossible to collect all 7 so I never saw one?

What the hell guys. It's a fan demo. It's not a perfect example of chiseled quality. What matters: It feels like a dream to play with beautiful atmosphere. I can't even tell if you guys played it or just watched the trailer and heard some sort of "open-world" descriptor somewhere and stuck up your noses.
It's not about "does it work as a game?", it's about "wow, this feels GOOD" and modern Sonic just doesn't in the same way, even at his best. It feels janky.
Nothing about the demo should inspire this level of vitriol.
You actually have to get all 7 emeralds with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, AND Cream to unlock Amy, which I think may actually qualify Amy as the hardest character to unlock due to how ridiculously difficult and tedious her requirements are.At a particularly low point in my life, I actually did this with all five characters.
Zero is a fucking monster.
And if you thought getting into the special stages in Sonic Advance 2 was impossible, I'd hate to see you make it to its special stages:
Sorry if it's already been answered but a long time ago there were mock-ups of a box for a physical release of this game on Switch. I cannot remember the source. Did anything become of this?
The skeptic in me wants to say that we might not get Super Tails or Super Knuckles. Apparently Sega's current stance is that only male Hedgehogs can go super.I just hope Super Knuckles is actually pink with his spines raised instead of looking like normal Knuckles but flashing white. Super Tails has to have his Flicky army of doom as well.

And the cape!

...Despite y'know, stuff like Knuckles saying he didn't have enough energy to reach his super form in SA2

Not going to derail this much further, but thank you for assuming my opinions to be based out of some misplaced open world stuck-uppery. Frankly the demo felt janky to me and nothing about the concept or their current execution was particularly impressive. When I say there's vast patches of nothing, I mean that even the official trailers show Sonic running in an empty field and that's just not interesting.
There's no vitriol here, I just don't like it and there's yet to be anything out of the project to sway my opinion otherwise (and that's not to say I think that Boost gameplay is the be-all end-all for 3D Sonic - it's still in need of refinement).
But if they're going to change my mind at all they need some actual level design and some severe refinement on this too. Seeing the praise for it was always bizarre to me when it didn't feel like it was doing anything of note yet, and the official projects still seemed to play better even when their other elements were lacking.
No. Hoping for the glorious return of blue spheres. The GOAT special stage. I also hope we get a near infinite number of blue sphere stages like when you locked S&K with a game that wasn't Sonic 2 or 3.Have we seen the special stages yet?
The English version had Shadow's voice actor say it by mistake but yeah, it's one of the lines during the last boss.I don't remember this. When does this happen? One of the quotes during the final boss, I'd guess?
Sonic 2/Sonic 3D special stages are my favorite. Put myself off blue sphere as a kid after doing hyper sonic/tails/knuckles one after another.
I'd bet that we're getting the half pipe special stage due to it being the one that's the most fondly remembered by the general public.
I got a soft spot for the UFO Sonic CD ones though. One day they'll return. One day.

The other two dudes called it "utter trash" and "lame", so that's why I talked vitriol. I didn't assume anything, I literally said I couldn't tell if any of you guys played it.
I think you're pretty unappreciative of good physics if you call the feel of it unimpressive, lacking, and nothing of note - it's on an entirely different level than current Sonic games with the way you can bob and weave off of subtle hills and walls without completely losing momentum in an awkward way. Literally no Sonic game feels like it, so it's the opposite of "nothing of note". I don't really care about the rest of the demo's characteristics, I like it but there's valid criticism to be had about the level design or whatever. My point is purely about game feel. It evokes a feeling of the classic games in physics in 3D.
Nah. These devs know how overplayed that style of special stage is, and besides we already know the method of entering a special stage is the Sonic 3 method so blue sphere makes sense.I'd bet that we're getting the half pipe special stage due to it being the one that's the most fondly remembered by the general public.

You know the super emeralds have been in the games ever since Sonic & Knuckles, right? The chaos emeralds were transformed into the super emeralds.

Honestly, I'd love something new and fresh, but Blue Sphere would be welcome. Blue sphere is underrated IMO.
Deepest lore!The English version had Shadow's voice actor say it by mistake but yeah, it's one of the lines during the last boss.

I believe the Special Stage in S3&K has the emerald appear in 3D, and it's not the typical Diamond cut like Super Emerald's haveah, but

I just saw the collector's edition for this game and immediately ordered it. It's awesome.

They aren't called Super Emeralds but no game but 3&K has any need to differentiate the 2 forms. Ever since 3&K they've retained that form and they've been used the same way (surrounding the master emerald). Also they can grow and shrink. The point is that in Sonic 3 & Knuckles the were transformed back into their original form and they've been that way ever since. Maybe they could make a game involving time travel that explains how the hell the emeralds became like that in the first place.this is false, they've always been Chaos Emeralds.
However, the Super Emeralds were in Sonic Adventure. If you visit the past Emerald altar as Knuckles, you can climb one of the pillars and see that the emerald is larger than him.
It's actually kind of tricky to tell, the sprites of the in the Blue Sphere stages looks like they might be a round or oval cut, but at an angle it looks like it could also be a smaller diamond cut.
Actually, the regular emeralds are very clearly dodecahedrons in Blue Sphere. They're made up of pentagon faces.
Huh, so they are. Which is stranger considering the 2D image of them still uses the octagon cut.
Probably one of those things they just didn't consider at the time.
Every since I played that Sonic Utopia fan demo, 3D Sonic is just ruined forever for me. Like even if it's passably good, I think back to some interview with the fan devs, where they said something like how Sonic Team started with the wrong basis and just keeps building on it instead of going back and taking what really worked (ie. Stuff like the physics, level design). It haunts me, Sonic Forces is like Exhibit A of that to the extreme so far.
yo those badniks were in a trash compactor this has the deepest lore
