Can't wait to see Sonic 2017. Don't why it took long for them to show it. Probably because Sonic has a much much large fanbase with Nintendo so they waited for the Switch to be fully revealed.

I'm excited for both titles. Should be a great year for Sonic fans.

ZeekQuattro2648d ago

Didn't think of it like that. I thought it was odd that Sega quick to say that 3D Sonic was coming to the Switch but were quiet about Sonic Mania coming to the system.

I was hoping Sonic Mania would release in March

Blu3_Berry2647d ago

So excited for Sonic 2017. I loved Generations and Unleashed with the daytime levels so I hope it's in the vein of those games. Lost World was pretty meh and I found it overly frustrating with the movement. And let's not get started on Boom.

Lets see what kind of F***up gameplay theyr gona introduce.

SegaGamer2647d ago (Edited 2647d ago )

Being a massive Sonic fan, i am very much looking forward to both games. Hopefully they don't try and reinvent the gameplay in Project Sonic 2017 and just stick to what works like we got with Generations.

I'm also hoping for more of serious tone to the storyline this time around too. Recent Sonic games have been a bit too kiddy friendly too me, i much preferred the more serious tone that we got in the Adventure games.

The 7 Best Sonic the Hedgehog Games: Racing through Time

Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?

Rebel_Scum100d ago

Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.

Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.

Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Snookies12100d ago

Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.

Profchaos100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.

Mania was 5 hours roughly

However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short

Profchaos100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones

Rebel_Scum100d ago

Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.

Profchaos100d ago

Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2

Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭

Chocoburger98d ago

Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.

PlayStation 4 Emulator RPCSX Can Now Run Sonic Mania At 45 FPS

RPCSX, the newly announced PS4 emulator made by the wonderful people behind RPCS3, was shown running Sonic Mania at a whopping 45 FPS.

Vits278d ago

Really cool, hopefully, they can advance with this emulator pretty quickly. Their work with the RPCS3 was amazing given how notoriously hard that console architecture is.

walken7278d ago

Correction: it runs the intro screen and then turns into a green mess. Still cool progress, but who approves this garbage with click-bait titles?

Profchaos278d ago (Edited 278d ago )

Interesting watching this advance it might take a few more years but the community will be very thankful in the end after all Sony may have given us full PS4 backwards compatibility in the ps5 but they still haven't given us 60 fps patches and modes for a number of popular games like bloodborne.
I can however see Sony taking a stance against this emulator unlike rpcs3 which was emulating the PS3 as the PS3 was off store shelves and many games had no legal purchase route given psn doesn't have then entire PS3 library available. PS4 is quite different

Abear21277d ago (Edited 277d ago )

Own this from PS Plus. How ironic people spend their precious time, hours of their life they will never get back, trying to get games to run on hardware it’s not intended to when they could easily play it another way. For free no less. Every day things get more odd.

Why the Separation Between Modern and Classic Sonic is a Double-Edged Sword

The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
