I got pretty darn excited when I saw SEGA´s trailer for their upcoming 2D platform game "Sonic Mania". And so far I think the game looks really, really good. In the matter of fact, "Sonic Mania" might just be the "Sonic" game that I´ve been waiting for since the release of "Sonic 3". So this is my (Robin Ek, TGG) take on "Sonic Mania" so far.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
Sonic looks like a return but Mario has been there and done that.
Sonic on the other hand is throwing darts on a board and seeing what sticks. This just feels like another attempt at Sega trying to make Sonic a success again.

"Sonic 4" are far from the worst "Sonic" title to date. Couldn´t that be said about pretty much any other IP as well? "COD", "Resident Evil" and whatever? Besides, the trailer looked really cool to me. So I´m giving "Sonic Mania" a chance.
Well...As long as the game doesn´t turn out to be yet another mediocre Sonic game. Then I´m all cool with it.
I dont understand.. are there new areas and such? Because if I wanted to play old sonic I dont need to play it in 2017 I could play it now. And I dont know how I feel about the lighter blue sonic
True
30 Years of Zelda and yet nothing
Pokemon is 20 and nothing much is said...just a new game, releases of the older ones and a mobile app
Where's the special collections, the remasters, new soundtracks, replicas, statues and the like? Would I pay a bit of money for official Pokemon Gym badges and maybe a collection of Pokeball replicas.....urmmmm YES.
