What's with these graphics?

Is this game from 2017 or 1997?

[Shark Bait]

It looks great, not sure what the problem is.

[DarkEmpire]

Its old school. that make sonic so great!

[Penal Whitestroke]

thats the point of the game

[Ikagura]

Ironic since pixelart games are becoming the new trend, even for non-indie games...

Play Cave Story, it had a better gameplay and story than most of the AAA games since 10 years

PS: graphisms doesn't make a game automatically good

dead rising 2 is a ps3 game. mania looks like a genesis rom.

Sonic Mania is intentionally designed around graphics limitations above the Genesis and around the level of the Sega Saturn. After all, we never got a new proper classic Sonic platformer for the Sega Saturn, or anything after that.

It also means more people can play the game; I'm sure a good amount of people (myself included) would not be able to play it if it looked like it was 'from 2017'. It also probably wouldn't have even happened in the first place, since that would require a big budget that they're already using on Sonic Forces.

Boi!!! The graphics are what make the game, the game! Sonic mania is sexy as all hell. 60 fps 1080p hd widescreen... everything is built from the ground up and honestly its a tribute the the classics. Probably gonna be an instant 10/10. If ur just into graphics when playing games then u don't know what makes up a good game, now do you?

don't even bother justifying your hypocrisy, you're ok with playing some old games, but when it comes to this, you have to complain

Sonic Mania is not a pixel by pixel recreation of cut Sonic 2 and 3 zones, as much as I'd have wished it to be. Take notice of its visual cues like the Chaotix inspired player character sprites.

Mania looks like the Saturn sequel we never had before, stop complaining about because it is like complaining about pixelart games that has a better gameplay than a AAA full 3D game

Oh you're one of those "Mania is a glorified rom hack" people.

This. I always seen the presentation of Chaotix as the logical next step that never happened. I can't wait to play this!
