Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[Rökkan]

I got legitimately excited for Splash Hill and Lost Labyrinth! Specially Lost Labyrinth, it has some neat new level concepts, even though, well, it is extremely similar to Labyrinth Zone, which is something that I said it was bugging me since the beggining of Sonic 4, they are re-using a lot of elements instead of actually creating new ones, which is pretty lazy. Look at Megaman 9 and 10, they are legitimate sequels to the 8-bit games and it brought so many new level design (and other) concepts. Anyway, those both levels looked really good and faithful to the classics level-design wise, I was afraid they'd make it too straightforward and abuse too much of dashpads.


But UGH Casino Street Act 2

WHY would anyone think that re-going to the same structures AGAIN AND AGAIN until you get a certain score to get through the level would be fun? Seriously. I couldn't even watch the whole video.


Also, just two small nitpicks, but I am disappointed by

1- Bubbler is now an enemy that does nothing but wait for you to homming attack it. You know SEGA, you can do more creative level design elements that requires you to homming attack other than a bridge of enemies. It almost has no skill envolved. If you're making bridge of enemies, at least make sure that it requires a certain skill in the later levels other than paying attention if the enemy is sparking/has its spikes out.
