Moderate expectations. Generations was good but whether it was Lightning in a bottle has to be seen.

im actually more psyched about the other project that looked like generations 2, because classic sonic trilogy is not THAT good, and generations modern sonic was a great reflex challenge and speedrun game. Generations classic sonic was fun for moments but it felt really really off

Played Sonic CD PC for the first time this year and it's my favorite sonic now.

I'm excited for mania for sure but I'm anticipating the new modern/classic sonic game way more.

i should give CD another go sometime. Trying to go 100% on every sonic game every time i played them made me loathe them a lot, but since I became the chill gamer, i enjoyed them a lot more.
i recall cd having a lot of really strange design in some stages. not as a good or bad thing, just out of the norm.

Sonic Mania looks cool and hopefully the other new one will be as good as Generations

Classic gens felt off to me too and I never had fun replaying the levels. Modern gens + the Unleashed Project though? I can play those levels all day long trying to get better.

classic gens had a thing that really really bothered me that i dont know to describe other than as "tiering" or "thresholds" of speed.
like, if you were going between certain speeds and ran up say a quarter pipe, the game seems like it would launch you a set amount of units. i mean, i guess its fine, since you can more tightly control level design and the flow of paths, but i felt it artificial as hell

I was hugely into Sonic Adventure 2 as a kid but I revisited that game a few years ago and it's fairly sure.

The first level of Adventure 2 is awesome and gets you freakin hyped but then guess what it's time to walk around in a robot or fly around a canyon collecting gem stones or whatever obnoxious crap

i hope those scanline filters are optional lol but drat that looks neat. i really enjoyed generations OP, and grew up playing the poo poo out of sonic 2 + sonic & knuckles, esp. the latter and i lost my mind when i found out about super sonic.

the series has some of the best music in video games rly

I feel that Sonic Team put most of the effort into the first levels of the Sonic Adventures and then skimped on the rest of the game.

the space levels at the end had cool ideas but they were a horrible mess. i kept just falling off and dying and it never felt like it was my fault lol

sonic advance 1 is a really good little game, idk how i feel about 2. they made it less about platforming and more a hyperspeed autorunner, but the camera doesn't zoom out or anything so you either just know the map by heart or you have to slam on the brakes and poo poo gets real awkward

also advance 1 had this track

I dunno why it and Shadow have such horrid reputations lol. I replayed them 3 years ago before selling my GC and they while they had their shortcomings they were as fun as when I first played them back when I was a tween
