Pre-ordered for that Sonic statue <3 That and I really wanted a physical version of the game, even if it's a collector's edition. £80 is steep but damn I want to support this.

Yeah I just responded in the other thread complaining at the price.

We're paying like £24 more... That's despite the shit conversion rate these days!

God damn £80 thats quite a tough pill to swallow considering you don't even get a physical version of the game.
I recall paying something like that for the Generations CE, which was very similar to this one but also came with an artbook, a soundtrack, a making-of DVD and a physical version of the game.

My Amazon order now has a release date of 3 April, probably a placeholder, but there wasn't one there when I ordered it.

I want to play old sonic games.
With which game should I start?

The Mega Drive/Genesis versions of Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles in that order.

So now that the Switch has been revealed do you think Sega will announce a version for that console? It would be cool to have it on the go.

I'm not sure. The team is probably pretty small. However, I think it's certainly possible the system gets a port and I certainly hope it does.
 
I cannot see any reason why this won't be on the console. I guess we'll have to wait for an official reveal, but really they'd be stupid not to put it on the Switch.

WAIT

Why are they showing off more of this game suddenly? Desert Zone? Tails? KNUCKLES?!?!
I know right??! I was just scrolling down my youtube subs and saw it. Sega has said nothing about this.

Level looks great, getting real desert hill zone vibes. Really wish we had more gameplay from people who really knew how to play sonic tho.
At one point he has the electric shield and never double jumps and doest realise that electric shield cant touch water, even tho a water shiled box was right next to him...

Exactly. I had to stop watching because of the terrible play.

Desert Dazzle!?

The video calls it "Mirage Saloon Zone," so not technically.

That said, Taxman did say he wanted to add Desert Dazzle to Sonic CD's remaster, and the tileset looks similar, so maybe this'll borrow some of his original concepts for the stage?

EDIT: HOLD UP.

I'm assuming it's just a nod to the posters from Generations/the Western feel to the stage, but glad to see these 3 getting a nod.

Well, here's our first look at Green Hill Act 2

EDIT: Just had the time to dig into where that screen came from after being sent it and it's from OPM so I thought I'd best remove it. However, there are a lot of interesting details such as burning the environment with the fire shield, and a description of the first Eggman fight. Hopefully the footage surfaces soon
 
This is the most I've looked forward to a Sonic game in so long. =)

How much is the base game without the Collector's Edition (which I assume will be a straight digital release)?
 
Buying collectors edition just to keep sealed for years to come

Buying the vanilla version to play. Literally cannot wait!!! Just tell us when it's out! Surely it doesn't take very long at all to make a game like this nowadays?

So when are we gonna get a new stage reveal followed by its theme being ripped for all our listening pleasure :p

Hmm, wonder if it's a coincidence that this is posted the same day as the switch reveal.

I'm surprised we don't already have Switch confirmation, especially considering how Sonic 2017 is gonna be on it and will definitely be the more technically demanding game.

I really hope we get a new trailer or something soon.
 
I know they are doing like revamped versions of old favourite games. I hope to hell they don't mess with chemical plant zone or casino zone music if they include those games.

I love that shit.

Also - I wonder what the trophy list will be like. I can't WAIT!

Probably my most hyped about game of the year, which is mad considering what a great year 2017 appears to be

Maybe they'll wait on the physical version so they can do a collection that comes with the classics as well.

A collection could be pretty cool. It's a bit silly that they have rebuilt wide-screen versions of the classics with bonus stages that are only available on mobile. Akso S3K remaster with more stages and less barrels when?

I really think we need to see some more remastered zones too. I really want to get a feel for what exactly it is they're going for here.
