>sequel announced
thoughts, /v/?
Looking foward to it, first game was fantastic.
Happy they are making it. Still never played 1 yet but I most likely will soon.
I'm hyped because I absolutely loved the original, but they really need to finish that fucking DLC.
>Taxman and Vegeta helping out.
yes

Post yfw when first entering pic related and hearing this track. Literally the moment the game clicked for me. No amount of bad furry voice-acting could ruin that.

Is he really that hard or am I just shit?
>>322094601
difficulty?
>>322094601
Final phase I presume? His dagger attack is telegraphed by his pistol shot. He is most vulnerable in the phase where he is throwing mines. Another open attack window is his 1.5 second cooldown after the does the green thing-y. Good luck.
>>322094695
....Normal
Pure furshit. They should have just kept the Sonic-like designs.
>>322095083
Everyone looks great now, except Lilac which is a shame consideringshe's a cute.
>>322095003
Second phase robot, I don't understand how to avoid all that shit when I have nothing with iframes up.
>>322095242
Carol or Lilac?
Will it be less furry weeb autism and have better boss fights/shit that doesn't lag?
If yes, it would be a decent sequel.
If no, fuck off.
>>322095083
I assume they changed it to move away from that.
>>322095314
Lilac atm, but either or.
And honestly I just watched someone else do it and the answer is use the walls a lot more and stay the fuck away more often.
>>322095638
Simply focus on surviving. If evading involves moving past him just cyclone jump to deal some chip damage. If you are near him and he starts to charge his attack where he shoots green projectiles all over the level use his windup time to deal as much damage as possible. Either use your spin dash, or a dive kick or uppercut since they deal the most damage. After a while you get into his loop and you can start making predictions about his action at which point surviving becomes trivial routine. Also the tube thing on the right shows his HP.
Good luck, anon. You can make it.
Does anyone here has the original alpha/beta game?
wow this game looks furry as fuck
get the fuck out of here
>>322096341
It's literally the best 2D platformer ever made and it doesn't even have that much platforming in it.
>>322096341
Wow you sure showed them.
Hope you enjoy your boyfriends cock to celebrate.
Is theMagistergoing to be revealed as adragon?

I think there's concept art of him out there somewhere, he's apparently a bird, or at least that's what he was going to be.

It's pretty damn top tier, but Rayman Legends still exists so it's not quite best.

Fuck you. That game got nothing on Rayman 2Or even the original for that matter
Rayman 3 is truer to the series than Origins/Legends will ever be. God, I miss 3D Rayman games.
>>322090817
Is FP a good game? People claim it's like Sonic and Sonic is a shitty series with no good games, so forgive me if it's hard to trust random anon's opinions.

>>322096667
Whoa hey, I like those too, but he said 2D.
What was wrong with legends as a platformer?
>>322096687
It's a fantastic game with one of the best villains ever. I would not call the voice acting good or even passable though.

It's not Rayman 4 in 3D. Also it was developed with the Wii U in mind.

Either you've not played very many platformers or you should kill yourself.

Personally I thought having Murphy do shit with a single button press was ultimately better.
As for more 3D, well, Rayman is dead now, and we can only hope the creator wants to do something similar with his new studio.

This is why I will never try this game. People who like it are clearly out of their minds. As long as it's a ripoff of fucking sonic it's never even going to be in the top 10.
>>322098148
It's more like Sonic meets Gunstar Heros, you fag.
>>322096834
Is it though? It always seemed like people thought the "original" designs were somewhat faggy. Granted I can see where you might be coming from, due to these changes, there might be more shitters like >>322097550 entering the threads.
>>322096834
>>322098303
I like both art styles for different reasons. The characters in both games a very cute and nice to look at. The new game seems to be moving away from looking so much like Sonic and finding its own identity, though.
>>322098148
Just the hazard warning for things off screen makes it 20 better then anything sonic ever did.
>>322098213
It could be Sonic meets Gunstar Heroes meets Comix Zone meets Quackshot meets Castle of Illusion and it would still be a filthy ripoff.

>>322099143
And Rayman Legends. Compare with La Mulana, outwards it looks like Rick Dangerous, mechanic-wise it's like Metroidvania but it plays absolutely nothing like any of those and does its own thing. THAT is a GAME.
>>322099483
Do you also hate sequels? Or are those okay?
Why can't another studio try their hand at making a game following another franchise's formula or improve on it?
>>322098892
Prominent Sonic Retro community member. He used to make Sonic fangames himself, and eventually, he was noticed by Sega, who hired him to do ports with his rebuilt versions of engines for some of the classics. If there's anyone who knows about 2D classic-Sonic-like physics, it's him.
>>322099602
More like, why didn't they? Freedom Planet doesn't improve on anything and is vastly inferior to that which it stole its idea from, which is a double insult because Sonic was always a technological marvel while these shitheads just pasted the code.
>>322099784
Given how I dislike 2d sonic games due to a few core flaws and FP doesn't have them and I loved FP I would disagree.
>>322090817
Hopefully they fix the issues the original game had. The physics were wonky, the combat felt superfluous and just slowed the game down, some of the the levels went on too long and were poorly designed, and the bosses were almost all shit except that giant praying mantis one.
>>322099990
That's a very petty way of living and I'm not surprised to find this is the only reason anyone could like this mediocrity.
>>322100073
What's petty about disliking a game for having a severe core flaw? The funnest part of sonic games is going fast but the 2d ones punish you for doing it.
>>322100073
Shame it's so popular then.
Oh wait, I forgot that your opinion was supposed to be upheld by the very pope and god himself lest I get smitten, okay.
>>322100205
Who cares? You practically have infinite health. Places with dead pits like the Wing Fortress force you to bump into a wall right before it focuses on platforming and Sonic 3 almost completely did away with traps altogether.
>>322100241
>Shame it's so popular then
HAHAHAHAHA
>>322100362
Look, Freedom Planet is good because it's filling a niche that was left empty by Sonic for a very long time because SONIC went to go put his head into the cocaine bucket.
It's like mocking somebody for moving into a house that nobody has lived in for a very long time, it's not like anybody was using it.
>>322100362
Having infinite health doesn't excuse bullshit game design that have enemies pop out of fucking no where. How the fuck is it my fault for the game putting thousands of fucking speed boosts that leads me head first into a enemy that came out of no where? I should be going fast, not slowing platformer through a set of challenges to avoid bullshit level design. That is exactly what Sonic was designed NOT to be, a Mario clone. You need to realize that, Sonic shouldn't be a stop and go game.
>>322100205
>2D Sonics punish for going fast
Heaven forbid the game asks you to show a modicum of skill in order to blaze through the levels. It's not punishing you, it's teaching you how to play the fucking game and get good. If you're too dense to learn that's your own problem.
>>322100583
See, that doesn't make it good, that just makes it new. Like when Hollywood remakes Total Recall or Robocop for modern audiences, in ten years which version do you think people will watch or play?
>>322100674
Rolling kills every enemy in the game except the things in Metropolis, which is a stage designed around taking it slow.
>>322100763
Freedom planet.
Because the Sonic fandom has become so laughably autistic (read, yourself) that even the old games have become tainted.
>>322098148
I don't think your exactly at liberty to talk about a game you haven't even tried.
>>322101121
I played several levels. I actually had high hopes.
>>322100763
>Rolling kills every enemy in the game except the things in Metropolis, which is a stage designed around taking it slow.
Why do I have to fucking roll every where just to avoided getting hit? If you want to say that then you might as fucking well and make Sonic uncontrollable on foot and just make him fucking spindash all over the place. Also, spikes exist.
>>322101169
Then why did you say that you will never try the game when you already have you dumb fuck?
>>322101232
>Why do I have to do things to avoid getting hit?
Press down nigger, are you stupid?
>>322101240
Try to beat it, I mean.

>Because a game has furry characters, that makes it furfaggotry.
Literally autism. Furfaggotry is cringy fetish shit, not just furry characters.
>>322101450
Rolling =/= spin dash, and he's very much controllable during both. It really does sound like you just suck at the games.
>>322101473
I'm not saying the game itself is necessarily furfaggotry, but the fanbase is full of them.
>>322101516
Are you fucking blind, I didn't saying anything about Sonic being uncontrollable. If I sucked at Sonic I wouldn't have beaten Sonic 3 without losing a single life.
>>322099483
>La Mulana
Now I know you are just a hipster, that game is bottom-tier trash for fedora tippers.
Does anyone know what is this?
>>322101686
I made the mistake of playing the game in story mode, and it's definitely full-bore Sonic recolor Deviantart furfaggotry.
>>322100680
There are plenty of platforming sections in the 2d games that bring momentum to a halt, skilled or not. You just HAVE to platform, no way around it outside of exploits.
Also, you simply cam't be going through sonic levels fast and be able to react to stuff ahead of you unless you already know the level. Sonic games are built around you fucking up. Even if I have fantastc reaction time and am good at the gamee, if I am going fast through a new level it is litterally impossbile to be able to react in time short of like single frame chances.
in the better 3d games, especially the adventure ones, this isn't an issue: You can see ahead of you into the distance and can react to shit, but it still takes skill to land everything and maximize your momentum, and the levels usally don't force you to stop going fast, even for the platforming sections, if you are good enough to not slow down for them. (not talking about for kuckles and such obviously)
Freedom planet despite being 2d solves this in a few ways: there's an offscreen warning indicator, there's more of a view rradius, thee levels are better designed to where conversation of momentum is much more possible, and levels are set up in such a way as well so that it's just as fun to take things slowly.
>>322102436
It's cringy, but it does has it's moments and isn't bad all the time, and it gives context to a lot of the stuff that happens in the stages. The dragon riding section, your frinds helping you with the robo panther,mutated milla, and all the shit brevon does on final dreadnaught eeitheer wouldn''t make as much sense or wouldn't have the same weight without playing the story, so I still think it's worth playing.
From all the news about it, it sounds like it's gonna be a really solid sequel. The first game was already pretty damn fun (sans the crap story) so I'm pretty excited.
>>322101734
Watch out, we've got a badass over here!
>>322102852
>(sans the crap story)
Do people really think it's that bad? It has problems for sure but it was a hell of a lot better then I was expecting, an it does have some good moments and I was actually totally into it and engaged by the time the game ended.
>>322102992
It's mostly the voice acting and some of the weirdly dark sections like the torture scene that had no right being there.
>>322103253
I actually thought the dark parts were handled well. Did the game need them? no, but they could have been executed way, way worse then they were. When the torture scene happened, I wasn't going "Fuck this is so tryhard and edgy", I was going "Oh fuck shit just got real". I was going with it, and by that point of the story I was engaged enough and used to the voice acting that I was interested.
I mean spade is terrible, but Brevon pulls off the dark shit well.
>>322102315
Early version of Lilac's new design.
>>322090817
Super excited for reasons that were probably already stated in this thread.

PLATFORMING IN A PLATFORMER
SHIT SON I GUESS THE GAME DOES SUCK
>Also, you simply cam't be going through sonic levels fast and be able to react to stuff ahead of you unless you already know the level.
I and many others are living proof this isn't true. If nothing else, Sonic 3K did a much better job of handling this.
But get this, you can still go at a decent pace with plenty of reaction time, and memorizing the level is just that much more rewarding. Memorization is not inherently a bad thing. If anything Sonic is a case of doing it very right.

>PLATFORMING IN A PLATFORMER
>SHIT SON I GUESS THE GAME DOES SUCK
But it's sonic. Sonic is about going fast. The platforming that is there should be designed around that. Generations is fucking agonizing because half the game feels like a chore, and then even in the half I really like, they are shoehorned fucking 2d segments too,and even the actual 3d parts aren't as good as in the adventure games.
>>322090817
Is this wonderful101 furry edition?
>>322104212

>>322098148
It isn't and never was a Sonic romhack, m8.
>>322104163
>But it's sonic. Sonic is about going fast.
Theeeere it is.
I was waiting for you to sound the retard alarm.
>>322105016
Well, that was poorly worded.
It may not be about it, but it's certainly what's the most fun, what sets it apart from most other platformers, and what the franchise is well known for.
>>322105130
Marketing drivel.
The games are about momentum and platforming. Speed is a consequence of momentum. It's there for when you've mastered those core aspects of the game.
Playing Sonic with speed in mind first will give you a bad time, because you're trying to do something advanced without mastering the game properly.
>>322090817
I have a feeling it's gonna be less sonic and more megaman x this time around
Why can't people just say original Sonic games were good and Freedom Planet is a solid homage to the old Sonic games? Fuck you people always have to take the most extreme side of things when you're arguing.
>>322105294
The crux of what i'm saying is still, true though, a lot of the mandatory platforming does break the momentum.
>>322095045
Brevon has a set pattern on normal, you have no excuse.
>>322098148
>This is why I will never try this game. People who like it are clearly out of their minds.
that's a retarded as fuck mentality and you've probably missed out on a lot of great games because of it
>>322098148
You're clearly out of your mind if you're refusing to try a good game solely because of the fanbase. People like you are the cancer killing videogames.
genuinely surprised they're actually using the funds from the last game to make this one
so many other people would be tempted to go with kikestarter again
>>322098148

>Why can't people just say original Sonic games were good and Freedom Planet is a solid homage to the old Sonic games?
I'm not even that guy who keeps talking about Sonic in this thread, but retard have to join the latest YouTube e-celeb meme and claim that Sonic was never EVER good, while using the most retarded reasoning behind it. And this is coming from someone who's favourite Sonic game is Sonic 3 & Knuckles and thought that Freedom Planet was a fantastic game, I'm also extremely hyped for the sequel.

I'm the guy arguing who doesn't like the 2d sonic games. it's not a case of me thinking sonic has to be shit, Adventure 2 is in my top 10 favorite games ever, I just specifically don't enjoy the 2d sonic games that much.
Has any of the shit they promised to add to the game in the Kickstarter been added to the first game yet? If so, I might redownload it and give it a replay.
These tracks get little love, but I find them funky and catchy as fuck. My favourites.

Very happy, but i'm more focused on the promised DLC for the first game right now.

The VAing will be considerably better this time though. Before it was a bunch of rookie VAs but now they have fucking Chris Sabat working as the VA director as well as some more accomplished VAs like Josh Grelle.
I'm expecting a dramatic improvement in the story department desu.
