I don't like classic Sonic's shade of blue but otherwise it looks nice.

Mania style is peak soul.

>classic Sonic's shade of blue
user they're both classic sonic

top has 侘寂
bottom is too perfect

I feel like top gets a bad rap from viewing it at 1080p. It looks a lot better on a shitty tube tv through composite.

Just type out 'wasabi'

not much, whasabi with you?

The way that Generations onwards depict Classic Sonic is tonally different to the personality that I envision when looking at the 2D sprites. Like, the Mania cartoons depicting Sonic as fast Mickey Mouse is so far off from how stoic the sprites are.

As much as I like the 2D Mania-esque sprite, it technically sort of clashes with the idea of how the ring is trying to be 3D to show how Sonic is coming out it in a 3D fashion as well and as much as people dislike the Sonic 3 sprite in-game this idea carries into said sprite along with Knuckles (but not Tails since they rushed him).

am I alone in thinking 2 is better than 3&k? I know there's less of them but the stages are more memorable imo.

top has an actual 3d look, proper lighting and dark/contrast, background has details with the clouds in the water

bottom looks like a flat drawing with no real shadow in contrast with the light, light is also from a dif angle, clouds in the water might as well not even be there with the loss of detail

You aren't wrong. Compare CD opening/ending Sonic to Mania Adventures Sonic.

I don't think Sonic 2 is *better*, but I prefer Sonic 2 between them.

The OG is a soulless 3D render, but I don't really like the new one much either since it's basically a trace
Should've used the commercial one youtu.be/Z57luTCcZKA?t=10

Reminder that Sonic Mania is trying to be a SATURN game, not genesis.

Valid point about the light and dark, bottom does kind of look cut and pasted into the ring while top is emerging out of it. I feel like the move might have been to lighten up the void with a gradient or something to alleviate this for the bottom but maybe that would be too jarring a difference.

I saw the traveller make his way toward the monolith, that thin gash amidst the cloud; an open seam between heaven and earth that eluded the eye of God.
Or perhaps, it had not; perhaps it beckoned from one realm to the other, wedded and ruled as one.
For look how clean it splits the horizon in 'twain.
A Tower of Knuckles.

what the fuck this one from the ad is so much better

that's what I'm sayin

The shading on classic sonic is cuter, reminds me off that gag about loli foreheads. Classic sonic skin is nasty, i don't know how i feel about his much rounder spikes kinda cute, makes him look impotent.

S*ga:
>here's 5 old games, that'll be $45 plus tip goy! (despite Sega Genesis/Mega Drive classics having 50 games and being cheaper) and don't even think about not preordering or you won't be able get all the game features (such as extra missions, game modes, animations for the reused Sonic Generations models and music), no playable Knuckles in Sonic CD either despite being playable in the rest of the games, also digital ONLY!! (with Sega going as far as to delist previous versions of the games from most platforms with more than just the games included on this collection being delisted on PS store, Now if you buy "Sega Genesis/Mega Drive classics" on Steam you wont be able to get all the games or achievements since that version sold the games separately).

Sonicsisters... did we lose to the pac-chads AGAIN??

not really on topic but thanks for the bump I guess

is the bottom one from the new collection?
why did they replace the prerendered SOUL?

how many of those Pac-Man games are just the maze vs weird shit like Pac-Land, i'd be interested if it's mostly weird shit

>trying so hard to shill this shitty compilation of shitty games that you bring it up in relation to another shitty compilation in threads not related to either
When your game comes out, I'm going to share direct download links to it everywhere I can. Not that I'd expect anybody to be interested, but I think it'll probably drive you to suicide.

No it's just fan art

Sonic 3's model is shit ugly, I like the TROO FAR version better

Pretty good but I don't think the Genesis is capable of that colour range.
If it is, it'd bloat the hell out of the cartridge, the sega logo alone in those games fills it up by an already insane amount.

Now that is soulless

That looks fucking gorgeous, who's the artist?

Who said it’s trying to be Genesis accurate?

Based

I mean, they're also widescreen which the Genesis doesn't support either. I don't think they were meant to be accurate to original hardware.

he's going to stick it in your ass and he does it to show what's coming as form of dominance

Thank god.

&Knuckles was the last true Sonic The Hedgehog game

Well then what's the point of recreating it and comparing them if it's gonna be a disingenuous comparison?

hold on to your roms, boys

lapperdev.artstation.com/

Why does anyone redraw old art?

imagine paying money for video games

not to compare it to the original and ask which is better.

Why didn't Sonic Mania use any CGI renders like the original games did?

Attached: sonic kino.jpg (1578x760, 497.76K)

user... that is more or the less the entire point of these mockups, to try to improve the original. As in what could the game have looked like without hardware limitations.

Because it was trying to be more Saturn than Genesis, so it used actual polygons for stuff like that

>lighting is in the wrong spot for everything but his eyes and nose
Soulless

Mania has Saturn-style low poly models for the big rings, special stages and pinball bonus stages. It also has some 3D esque spritework like the blue sphere bonus stages and the green hill spiral section in your image.

I don't hate it, but it's supposed to be a 3D model

I don't like the new one's noddle arm

It also had that giant Eggman background element that rotates but I'm having trouble finding an image of it

That's how Sonic is supposed to look. Look at the in-game Sonic 1/2 sprite.

Attached: sonic_1.jpg (1979x1441, 289.35K)

The goal is to make it Mania's style (and Mania is trying to be if 2D Sonic was on Saturn technically). They also did one for Sonic 2, I recall they had a video for each classic game on YouTube.

Because it’s fun to do, it doesn’t need a technical reason

I can't fucking believe sonic didn't get out of the blast radius time.
RIP.
