34% Are Looking Forward To A Combination Of Mania, Project 2017 & Sonic In LEGO Dimensions

1. My thoughts on the future titles?

   Well considering that I really enjoyed Fire & Ice, I’d say I have good hopes for Mania and Project 2017.

   Though I’m actually more curious about 2017 since I started the series with games like Unleashed and the like, so seeing that teaser brought me back to those days where Sonic was an action hero that was fairly cartoony and light-hearted when it needs to. And I can live with Classic Sonic in it, it was going to happen anyway with the success of Generations. I just hope that the main cast have a meatier role in the game and the tagline “Join the Resistance” fills me with some hope. Though I’m probably going to stick with the PS4 and Steam version of it since I don’t think the Switch version will do much to make me consider getting it as well, while the leisure of taking it wherever I go is great. I’m usually gaming at home for the most part anyway so that feature isn’t that useful to me. I will wait to see if I change my mind when we get more details on the game.

   But that’s not to say I’m not excited for Mania either. I mean, based on what I say; I have no reason to be concerned about it. Whitehead and his crew will absolutely make a great game with Mania and I’m not super excited like some people are; I do very much understand what amazing it is that fans are actually making an official game. That’s something you never hear in the industry. And frankly, I don’t really care that there’s more older stages than new ones. I honestly find it incredibly hilarious how people got so mad at that news and saying nonsense like “it’s a rehash, there is no passion to it”.

   It’s stupid and the people who honestly believe that are stupid.

   I mean, I say a map of how Green Hill Act 1 looks in Mania compared to the first 2 acts of Green Hill in the original and it doesn’t even look the same level. It’s amazing on how big the level in Green Hill is in Mania and that’s just first act ALONE! And the fact it’s the tamest of the remixed levels fills me with a good amount of trust that I can be certain that Mania will be a really good game. Though I would like to see what additions the team would add if they make a Mania 2 (which is obviously going to happen), fingers crossed for a playable Amy? That would great to see.

   And finally for the Sonic in LEGO Dimensions, I’m really liking what I’m hearing and seeing so far but I ain’t getting Dimensions just to see that content for myself. But I did pre-order the Level Pack. It’s awesome to see Travelers’ Tales collaborate with SEGA again after so many years and they’re really making it worthwhile to the people who bought the level pack. So I’m pretty curious to see what that’s going to hold.

   Geez, I don’t normally write this much lol.

2. At first, I thought immediately no on the new poll. I mean, the only way that the Switch could impact PS2017 is being able to play it on the go, right? But then I thought, we still don’t know how powerful it is yet; it might be not as powerful as a slightly below end base PS4. I mean, I seriously doubt it actually is behind on the curve technology wise, but there is a little bit of doubt in my mind. So I put down “A little.”

   .. Maybe I should have gone with “undecided.” Well, backup thought; I’m a little more interested in PS2017 with the ability to play it on the go, so my answer still counts in a way!

   1. I am familiar with the history and trends of the underlying hardware in the Switch, so allow me to weigh in. The meat of the Switch is a mysterious unnamed mobile Nvidia chip. Seeing that the Switch is likely fanless, this is probably some sort of Nvidia Tegra chip. If it is the current Maxwell-based Tegra X1, expect performance no better than an Xbox 360 and slightly behind a Wii U. If it is next-gen Pascal-based, we could see MAYBE a 50% to 100% increase in performance. But it will still fall behind an Xbox One: you cannot manage sustained performance of this scale on a fanless, tablet-thin. There is no magic bullet here folks. For the Switch to be a tablet, it had to make concessions through performance compromises. On the small screen, games should look nice but AAA titles when played on a TV will show blockiness versus or a lower resolution than an Xbox One and PS4.

      For me, the Switch is a non-starter. Tablet PCs (from $400, like the Lenovo Miix 700) can pack a wallop as well, play Steam games on the go, and can emulate Wii and GameCube games at HD. Nintendo is trying to enter the huge tablet market, but there are already so many people here and we are satisfied. Time will tell if people are genuinely interested or not. If the rumored 3-hour battery life turns out to be true, that could definitely make the Switch another Wii U failure.

3. While i didn’t grow up in the classic era, I have gone back to play them and I do appreciate them for what they are. That being said, i am excited for mania to see the new spin it puts on the old levels and experience entirely new ones.

   I’m curious about project 2017 but I haven’t seen enough of it yet to form an opinion. From a story standpoint, I like it because I’m one of those weirdos who likes dark sonic story’s and 2017 looks to go back to that.

   I would care more about dimensions if it didn’t go for the skylanders approach of “Spend $20 for a toy so you can get a character in the game.” That’s the thing that kills it for me, which is a shame because I really do like the idea of one massive mashup of different franchises from different medias all in one Lego world. What a massive waste. I really am disappointed about that.

4. I’m only waiting for Mania, which is a day-one purchase from me.

   I don’t care for Project 2017 though.

5. Does the Switch’s reveal change anything for me? Eh, only a little bit, in that I have a bit of a better idea of what Sonic 2017 is working with in terms of Nintendo’s side of thing. As long as the game is built well, it should play perfectly on any system, be it PS4, XBone, and Switch.

6. I voted “combination” but really I’m only interested in 2017 and Mania. I might track down a Dimensions minifig though.

   The Switch doesn’t change my opinion of 2017 at all, since I was getting the “NX” anyway. It does make me think about the possibility of local or online multiplayer though since the system facilitates that so well. That “join the resistance” tag makes more sense if you consider multiplayer a possibility.

7. Lego Dimensions – I have no way to play this game. Hell, how many Sonnic fans on this site actually care about Legos. Lego Sonic DLC is not worth $100.

   Sonic Mania – Aside from mainly consisting of old stages, this game has not been announcer either the Wii U, 3DS, or Switch. In short, I can’t look foward to a game that isn’t available to me.

   My only option is Sonic Project 2017 for Nintendo Switch.

8. Well I’m definitely, 100% on board Sonic Mania!

   I was already excited for P2017 before, but now with the NSwitch, I’m definitely getting it if I get the Switch.

   Lego .. not very likely, since I’m not a fan of Lego games (plus they’re expensive I heard?) But I like what I’ve seen so far.

9. I’m for all things Sonic… you give me Sonic spaghetti cans, I’m down… you give me Sonic toothbrushes, I’m game… you give me Sonic slippers and ear muffs, I’m ready…

   I want the whole world to tremble before the awesome might of Sonic!

   GIMME SONIC SONIC SONIC!!!

   nice poll Donnie O_O
