@PogueSquadron I don't know...there are a lot of little things working against the possibility of a Sonic Mania 2 I think. Christian Whitehead founding a new studio for original projects doesn't help, especially if he's less willing to lend Sega his Retro Engine. And Sonic Mania already took most of the iconic Zones from those classic games (and pieces of many others), so another tribute game in that vein seems doomed to underwhelm. That certainly doesn't rule out an all-new all-original Sonic Mania 2, but considering how much of Sonic Mania 1 was built from reskinned pieces of the classic games, it does mean a game with all new stages and gimmicks could take significantly longer to develop. Or not, considering they already have the Mania template to build on, who knows. But yeah, it's a damn shame the Taxman versions of Sonic 1 and 2 are stuck on phones and crap. I really liked what he did with the Hidden Palace Zone in Sonic 2, and obviously having widescreen and 60fps for both games makes a huge difference. I guess they didn't want his port to step on the toes of Sega M2's 3D Classics and Ages lines? And those lines are great, but I think most would prefer the Taxman remasters, given the choice. |

Another blow to the chances of us getting Mania 2: Simon Thomley's studio Headcannon has launched a Kickstarter for a new game: Vertebreaker. It looks pretty good! Grappling hook reminiscent of Umihara Kawase, bassy synth Genesis sounds, and the protagonist is a skeleton named Richard Boehner, which makes me cringe but also giggle slightly. But yeah, the two big "names" behind Sonic Mania have seemingly moved on to original projects. There's still PagodaWest games, the third wheel of the Sonic Mania development tricycle, and there's a slim chance Sega tries for a Mania 2 on their own. But yeah, I'm not counting on getting another retro Sonic game any time soon, or possibly ever. And you know what? That's fine. Mania's so fantastic, and I never imagined that dream of mine would come true. Seems greedy, as a long-suffering Sonic fan, to hope for more. |
