What gives?
Nearly three years later
Sega was jealous a buch of fans made the best sonic game ever so they shut down every chance of a sequel.
They don't need to make a sequel when the fans will just make their sequels by modding the game or previous titles.
Knuckles lost the directions to the sequel. It's all his fault.
Any proof of that?
Doesn't Whitehead have a Twitter or something? He must've let some info slip. A sequel is probably in the works and just isn't ready yet. Especially if they aren't gonna be reusing levels like in mania 1, it'll probably take a while to hand craft all those routes and make sure everything works perfectly.
God DAMN do I hope it has lock-in technology and can combine with mania 1 for the ultimate Sonic game, that'd be sick as fuck. But for that to go smoothly they'll have to get the sequel out this console generation
He does, and I'm not sure. Apparently I heard he's not making a sequel anytime soon with drama apparently.
>Mods being comparable to a fully fledged, official release.
Stop posting.
Taxman has his own studio yo worry about and they are making their own IP. You will never get a sequel to Mania.
Well it's not like they've been avoiding it. The main series hasn't continued in any way since 2017.
I thought that fell through.
Or am I thinking of Stealth?
Sonic would unironically work as an open world game
Sega's at least confirmed that another mainline Sonic game is releasing next year.
You are thinking of Stealth. Evening Star is Taxman's studio.
You're thinking of Stealth, yeah.
Yeah, stealth. He made a video about his skeleton game failing where he sounded like he was gonna blow his brains out on camera
>Has his own studio
>Names it after the World Lobby theme in Chaotix
Yeah no, the next "Sonic Mania" type game is a Chaotix remake.
Sega just jerks off into the pool of money that they made from Yakuza
He's got to let the stink from Forces dissipate.
In hindsight, publicly shitting on Sega for blaming Mania's shitty Denovu problems on the devs was a bad move, even though he was absolutely right
We all know what the REAL next game is.
Just because you name it after a reference to a game doesn't mean you are going to only make games for that franchise.
Okay, I believe you.
The Sonic Mania sequel of my dreams:
- All original stages
- Amy as a playable character
- Omellete as an official character
- More optional paths and exploration points
- More game options like challanges or a boss rush mode
- Unlockable episodes of Sonic Mania Adventures
That sounds pretty based ngl.
Yakuza Mania when?
Right after Yakuza Generations.
good, mania was trash
It's because Thomley is a retard
It was a team of independent workers. They've moved on and are working on other projects
Retards can't be good programmers.
>retards can't be good programmers.
ok retard
I can't blame them for not wanting to end up like Sonic Team being forced to crunch out Sonic games by SEGA with strict deadlines.
We will get news this year for sure, Sega has been pushing out news about Sonic every 20th of the month, so sooner or later they will announce a new Sonic game, whether it will be another 2D game like Mania is anyone's guess, but if it comes the end of the year and we don't get any Mania related news consider it dead
This, all you do in those shit games is walk, may as well just run.
This.
>Sega has been pushing out news about Sonic every 20th of the month
I mean, it's not much...
