WAT

HOLY SHIT AT SPLASH HILL ACT 3

Oh shi-.

SONIC'S GOT A CHANCE!

Not too shabby.

But, is that all the zones there are? Seems like Ep1 is gonna be pretty short.

Wow, unexpected. Listening to them now.

>bigthecat

inb4 sonic adventure roll

HOLY FUCK MAD GEAR IS AMAZING

>>54034288

It's 5 dollars.

>>54034465
Actually legit! Everything went better than expected.

Wow, this was actually pretty fucking awesome. Here's hoping the music isn't the only thing they are looking to the old games for.

>>54034702
Extrapolating from the special stage soundtrack... they're bringing back sonic 1 style bonus levels.

FUCKING SHIT!

someone pls rip this and put it on rs

The replies to this thread sound virsusy

>>54034983
It's legit, and it's actually pretty fucking good.

The music is awesome.

Now all we need is for the game to be awesome too.

>>54034822

>Good soundtrack
>Bonus stages
>Based on momentum, not speed
>No friends
>5 dollars

Ok so they've got the music down, nice. Now just need to sort those awful graphics and we'll be good to go for the aesthetics.

>You don't have access to some of bigthecat's private tracks
wat do?

>People not expecting Sonic music to be good
Fuck sake people, one of the only good things about Sonic games is the music. They always get it right.

It's the rest of the game that has issues.

>Lost Labyrinth Zone

I CAME FUCKETS

EU2UEOWFHEIGRFEW

I wonder if the same guy who ripped these will get the Boss music next?

THE DRUMS
The drum noise is back like a villan mother fuckers

>Ok I uploaded some more, 2 boss music tracks, invincibility and the final stage music.
From the guy who uploaded these. I'll post the download links soon.

The big problems are the fact they intend to put the fucking homing attack in still. Not to mention they could fuck up the level design or momentum engine horribly.

THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED

WELCOME BACK, SONIC

http://soundcloud.com/bigthecat/tracks?page=1

The full soundtrack is up. Grab it now before SEGA ninjas it.

this shit is actually pretty decent

PRAISE THE LORD

Holy shit, Casino Street sounds just like the Casino stage from Sonic 2.

>Mad Gear
Well shit, looks like the music is on track.

Shame the gameplay will suck

someone needs to rip this shit now

i will love that person forever

>>54035615
Apparently the Homing Attack works according to previews by various gaming sites.

... No Sega, I'm not falling for it. You say Sonic's the only playable character, the whole game is about speed, and your music sounds like it fits with the Genesis games?

I see your plan Sega, and it's not gonna work. I'm not going to get excited about this game. Not like with every Sonic game after Adventure 2.

>Mad Gear
FUCK YEAR, THIS IS AWESOME

Now if they would just change the visuals and get rid of homing attack, we might have an awesome game.

>>54035625
Way to jinx it, asshole.

But guys, forgetting something?

hrmm i could sega be trolling us yet again ?
music sounds good but will the gameplay delivrar finally ?

>Boss Battle 2
>Invincibility

Holy fuck, BUYING!

>>54035870
I don't give a shit if it works, it shouldn't be there. The only reason it ever existed is because the 3D games had such awful physics it was often difficult to hit your intended target. 2D doesn't have that problem.

The boss music is something I was not expecting, but I fucking love it. It actually fits.

special stage music is a nice homage to sonic 1's

Boss Battle 2 : sounds pretty sweet

I wanna download these to my ipod, is there an mp3 version I can download?

Awh yeah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w4V43STftQ

Anyone going to rip this?
Cause I am about to.

Holy shit man, this sounds like it's right out of Sonic 2/3. Fucking amazing.

>>54036315
Do it.

>>54036328

some of them sound BETTER than sonic 2/3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyoMQg3d5cs
best sonic boss music ever

anyone else think Final Stage music is crazy bus inspired? Not in a bad way either

Music's not bad, but I wish they varied the quality. They all sound the same...

this shit sounds really good but i don't think sega will ever top hydrocity zone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPYzgCI6Q1I

act 2 is my motherfuckin ringtone

Holy shit what. Compare Sonic 4's boss music with this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVbSwD2I8eY&

Oh god please somebody rip this before Sega gets to it.

I CAME EVERYWHERE I'M SO EXCITED DUYGFEKWDA

Okay, I'll rip it, brb.

>green eyes

>>54036541
the drowing music from water levels still scares the shit out of me

All of them sound like shit.

>>54035803
Have you seen the screens. Looks great, the homing attack shouldn't be a problem because I haven't seen a game made by Dimps that overuses one thing.
I'm really looking forward to Sonic 4.

>>54036388
yup

Oh shit, just listened to Mad Gear 2, sweet jesus I don't think Sega have it in them to make a game that can live up to this music, unless they just remake Sonic 3&k.

Boss Music 2 is top tier, otherwise I'm kinda with >>54036529. They do sound waaay too similar to each other.
Nonetheless, they sound enough like the classic music for it to be a good sign.

>>54036702
0/10

Anyone have the album uploaded in a folder?

http://www.mediafire.com/?mjmymynz1lo

GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

>>54036788
Fair play, Sonic Advance was okay.
I'm still going to keep expectations down though.

>>54036548

This is kinda shitty actually.

>>54036702
Faggot detected.

>>54036972

nice virus

EVERYTIME THEY MAKE A NEW ONE YOU THINK ITS GONNA BE GOOD

SHUT UP

SONIC WILL NEVER BE GOOD EVER AGAIN

I have high hope for this game! Please Sega don't fuck this up.

>>54036548
I suggest you take a closer look at the soundtrack to Sonic Adventure.
A LOT of that is borrowed directly from 3D too.
Not a cleanout copy of it, but still.

>>54037096

Shut up faggot.

>>54037096
Shut up faggot

>>54037097

WHEN THE FUCK DOES THIS RELEASE?!

God damn I ask all the fucking time but I never get an answer.

mediafire link is legit niggers

>>54037384
Yes, I can attest that This:

>>54036972

Is legit.

>>54037384

just downloaded, I can confirm legitimacy

GOD DAMMIT I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THESE TRACKS THIS SHIT IS OFF THE CHARTS HOLY FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

>>54037384

yup, get it

>>54034170
I know, shit is sexy

I got such a boner right now

Alright, someone did it for me.
:DDD

THE CYCLE HAS BEEN BROKEN!!!

The same guy says he's going to upload the rest later.

Also, Super Sonic doesn't have his own theme. The invincibility theme will be his as usual.

So now we know the music is pretty damn good, now let's hope the game itself is pretty damn good as well!

>>54037747
>Sound = Entire game
wat

YES!! IT'S OVER!!! IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!

Bonus stage is too similar to Sonic 1's.

>>54037747

>Started at splash hill.
This is okay. Nothing awesome.
>Get to lost Labyrinth.
FFFFFFFFFFF YEAH.

Doesn't sound as upbeat as the music from the 2D Sonics.

Not sure if want.

>>54037747

not yet faggot. hang on till we get the game.

>>54037747

>These type of reactions are part of the cycle

>This soundtrack

>>54037196
Jun Senoue composed all the Genesis Sonic 3D music and most of SA1's music too.
Green Grove --> Windy Valley ~ The Air
Panic Puppet Act 1 --> Twinkle Park ~ Twinkle Cart

Anonymous is pleased. I might actually be looking forward to this.

STOP MAKING ME WANT TO NOT HATE THIS GAME

>>54037931
Invincibility song is borrowed from 3D too. Can't remember the exact song though.

The game is going to suck. And I'm going to keep saying it's going to suck until I actually play it.

I'm not going to fall for your tricks again, sega. I've been duped too many times. ;_;

>>54037861

See >>54036529, all the music sounds the same, which isn't particularly a good thing, but the music itself isn't bad.

You really like those tracks? I am not trolling but it all sounds like some generic crap and all old 16-bit Sonic tunes are vastly superior.
Well it's just my opinion.

>Mad Gear Music
Could it finally be over...?

can I see the Sonic cycle image plox?

We can forget all the useless sonic characters and bad games and restart at Sonic 4. I have high hopes.

So it's 4 zones with 3 acts and a final stage?
Wat.
This screams DLC.

>>54034288
Well, I just realized I'm retarded, they're going to make all of the episodes mimic the respective genesis games. The special stage music is very much like the music from Sonic 1. There's 6 stages all with 3 acts and then a final boss stage. I don't know how I didn't put the pieces together before.

So I guess this means episode 2 will have playable tails and co-op action maybe?

>my face after sampling some of the tracks

>>54038022
It's true they all sound the same now, but when we actually play the game they will sound more unique, I think.
That's what happens when I play a game at least.

this viral thread is so embarrassing to read :/

>mad gear

>>54038145
It's being released in episodes broski. $5 a piece, though not sure how many episodes there'll be.

>>54038242

>>54038145
Where the fuck have you been?

>>54038145
...Why do you think this is episode 1?

>>54038145
well it's worth noting that it has the subtitle "Episode 1"

>>54038145
Its "screams" episodic content, which is already confirmed.

They really need to get this for the PC or else I'm just going to wii-emulate it for free.

>>54038350
you'll just pirate it anyway

>>54038305
>>54038296
>>54038288
God damn /v/ you quick

>>54038128
Yeah who needs Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Metal Sonic, Shadow, and Rouge. All we need is Sonic and Eggman in every single game and this will be a perfect franchise am I right folks?

>>54038350
>they need to make it easier to pirate or I'll just pirate it on another platform
hurr

Despite how good the music is for this, they'll probably never top Flying Battery, Sky Sanctuary, Hidden Palace, Hydrocity, and Ice Cap.

Ever.

>>54038242
>>54038280
lol'd.

Testing the Water with Episode 1, if it's well received and the rest of the Episodes go down good, this is what we can look forward to in the future for Sonic. Here's hoping it will be glorious.

>You now realise that Tails and Knuckles were never confirmed to not be in the game.

>>54038145

Sonic 4 is broken up into episodes, I think.

>>54038410
but I liked Knuckles. ;_;

>>54038405

Guess again, if it sells for PC, I buy it for PC.

>>54038410
No, you are not right. A lot of people, myself included, would like to see Tails and Knuckles be playable. Sega has said specifically that the "ONLY SONIC" only applied to the first Episode. Could be very likely that Tails or Knuckles will make appearances/be playable in later episodes.

>>54038410
The less bullshit the better, only use what you should.

>>54038432
But which Hidden Palace would that be....?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VWJQz4hQyM

>>54038518
>episodes 2 and 3 respectively
DO WANT!

>>54036548

>>54038432

OH GOD FLYING BATTERY HNNNNNGH

>>54038518
>>54038410

they'll add them later on, you watch

>>54038518

I bet any sum of money that there will be one secret bonus level at the end of each Episode where you play as Shadow.

I'm calling it now.

>>54038145
Gee you'd think with the Episode 1 part and it being cheap as hell there'd be more.

>>54038230
I guess people can't be genuinely excited - oh, I forgot /v/ has paranoid conspiracy theorists.

>>54038573
Tails and Knuckles will definitely appear in Episode 2. Episode 3 is the final episode.

4 Zones plus a Final Zone for each episode, that's 15 Zones total.

Sonic 4 is possibly the largest 2D Sonic game in the series.

>>54038518

There was an interview where they said Tails and (I think) Knuckles aren't in Episode 1, but then hinted they'd be in future instalments.

Yeah, the music is great and all, but then again, Sonic games have pretty much always had decent/good music. Not all of those Sonic games with good music were good though. MUSIC DOESN'T MEAN A GOOD GAME.

Tails and knuckles are ONLY acceptable friends, and knuckles is pushing it a bit.
Sonic2 was best

>>54038687
he was on the list o' names confirmed to not be in the game.

Holy shit... only 5 dollars? Are you mad, Sega?

I do like that Sega is considering the consumer.

It's a ten level Sonic game for $10, but they split it in half so you don't have to pay ten bucks if you don't like the first half.

>>54038518
Actually in the Nintendo Power interview he specifically said... Lemme grab the magazine:

"NP: Will Tails or Knuckles make an appearance as a nonplayable character?

Takashi Iizuka: As I mentioned before, only Sonic and Dr. Eggman will be introduced in this episode (aside from the enemy robots and animals, of course). You'll have to wait and see what happens next as the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 saga progresses."

>>54038428

And yet despite being more piratable it will sell more.

Piracy isn't so bad that you fail to make a profit from releasing PC versions, otherwise why do PC versions still get released?

>>54038604

The one in Sonic 3 & Knuckles was what I was reffering to. I also enjoyed the one in Sonic 2, as well.

Oh yeah. CHEMICAL PLANT HNGGNGNGJGHGGJTHH

>>54034822
You control the stage instead of sonic from what I understand

OH GOD THIS MAY BE A GOOD GAME?

OH GOD OH GOD DAMN YOU SEGA OH GOD

>>54038802

5$ *6 for the whole game
i think i will wait a deal of of the week

The problem with all the Sonic characters isn't that there are too many, in a way. The Mario series probably has as many characters. The problem is, that once they have appeared in one game Sega can't just let them rest, they are fucking shoved down your throat in every following game till you get Sonic 06.

If this game does turn out to be good. Then I can start trusting Sega again...maybe.

>>54038934
Because developers believe people will still buy it.

HOLY FUCK MAD GEAR ZONE

Oh wow.

I... I actually like this shit.

The faster music reminds me more of Rocket Knight Adventures than Sonic.

>>54038410
>Eggman

>>54039216
>Eggman

Yes. It's Eggman.
Problem, mother fucker?

>>54039216
Yes, Eggman.

>>54038951

OH GOD YES

CHEMICAL PLANT WAS THE FUCKING BEST GOD DAMN

It sound similar because they use the same effect for all the music (pew pews)

Each song still sounds unique, but they should have switched it up with different digital instruments.

>>54039265

Ivo Robotnik.

>>54039216
Obligitory "Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik is how it's always been in Japan" comment.

>>54039333
Requesting image from Sonic 2 to shut the faggot up.

So... no green hill zone?

>>54039115

Devlopers have no say.

It's the publishers doing the bean counting, and they see profits or else they wont bother risking it.

>>54034288
4-5 zones, each with 3 full acts and a boss stage

so probably just a wee bit shorter than a classic sonic game

>>54039404

Why... why is this music so good?

i cant tell what music belongs to each zone @_@

do 0-3 belong to the first act?

Alright niggers.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik is his real name.
Eggman is his evil alias, like almost every evil villain has. They don't use their own names, they have an alias.
'Eggman' is the alias of 'Ivo Robotnik'.

Don't let me see you niggers arguing this shit again.

Rip where?

>>54039410
It's
not
a
remake

>>54038518
>you now realize that it was already confirmed that episode one will be Sonic and Robotnik only

Honestly?

Robotnik sounds cool, Eggman doesn't.

Nothing else matters.

argh people calling him eggman makes me rage, it's robotnik FFFFFFUUUUUU

>>54039410

No, and I'm glad. I think we've seen enough of Green Hill and adding it in would just be lazy of them.

>>54039522
>That's what they want you to believe.

sonic is a lot like pokemon

any character released after the originals is shit

>>54039438
Larger version.

>>54039303
>>54039265
Why are they still calling him by his nickname? His real name is Dr. Robotnik. Case closed.

>>54039590
Blaziken said hi.
Mother fucker.

>>54039534
>THIS WILL AFFECT GAMEPLAY AAAHAHDAHDAEHREAHGAAHA!!!

>>54039557
>robotnik

you mean Dr. Robotic right?

The episodes will link up via save data.

Episode 3 will have Hyper Sonic if you completed Episode 1 and 2.

Knuckles is unlocked in Episode 1 is you have Episode 3 saves.

Etc.

>>54039557

I AM THE EGGMANNNNNN

>>54039622
I'm guessing you refer to Tails as Miles instead then, amirite?

>>54039688

>>54039622
Stop calling him Batman

his real name is Bruce Wayne!

>>54039459
Because it's Sonic. And all Sonic games, both good and terrible, have had at least some good music in it. Even Shadow the Hedgehog.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, has anyone posted the Sonic Cycle picture yet?

>>54039688

No man, it's Dr. Robonick

>Listen to soundtrack

>>54039824
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml_ks8lt1-0

Definitive proof.

The Special Stage music is a severely weak link in this chain.

But otherwise, music-boners all around.

>goo goo gooj

whatthefuckamireading.tiff

This game is proof that the Sonic Team we have today have no goddamn clue what the fans want.

3 acts per zone, Sonic 1-style special stages (confirmed by IGN,) and Sonic 1-style music? Really?

Ask any "oldschool" Sonic fan which of the Genesis games was best, and the answer will usually vary between "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" and "Sonic 2," but it's a nearly unanimous agreement among the fandom that Sonic 2 improved upon Sonic 1 in EVERY WAY.

Why the shit are they using Sonic 1 as a reference point to appease this fandom?
Because they don't know what the fans want.
Obviously.

This game will be far better than just about everything Sonic's done over the past ten years, and an overall improvement. However, it will still be disappointing to oldschool fans. That's my prediction.
