If you can hear anything over the loud buzzing that is.
Just watch the supercut Jim Sterling made if you're interested.
[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;50763928]Why? People were losing their shit on my twitter TL yesterday and apparently there was a cool music bit[/QUOTE]
Run-down:
Going 20 minutes past starting time playing music on a stream that kept dying repeatedly
Hyperpotions 'DJing' with pre-done Chao Garden music given a dance beat and little else while a guy in a Sonic costume grooves, they led him off the stage but he came back before the end
Some stuff and totinos advertising (the guy running the Sonic twitter account outright going "DO YOU LIKE OUR MEMES?" and shilling totinos left and right because sponsor money)
Sonic Mania announcement with it being playable on the show floor (with the entire pre-leadup speech muted on stream and the video playing twice, once for stream and the other for the audience which the stream watched again)
Crush 40 playing a bunch of songs, Jun missing a lot of notes or just playing strangely and Johnny sounding like he was fighting a sickness and exhaustion off most of the time, also no crowd mic so no one could hear the crowds they kept trying to get to sing along
Costume contest that was overwritten on the stream by more Totinos advertising
Sonic x Hello Kitty merchandise stuff, the guy in the Sonic costume (same as earlier) clearly couldn't actually see out of the costume
Technical issues, including a third time play of the Sonic Mania trailer
Sonic Boom season 2 preview, some interviews with various people as well as the voice actors
Another "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC" that's probably going to be in Sonic Mania
Project Sonic 2017 announcement and video, "not Generations 2 or a sequel to any previous game"
Ending credits using S&K credits roll while playing a remix of the Sonic 2 Game Gear Bad Ending
Meanwhile for almost the entire thing, there were audio issues all over the place, a high 'bzzzzzzzzzz' going on most of the event (complete with the hyperpotions bit starting with a solid minute of nothing but the white noise as Sonic lifelessly grooved on), audio mixing problems as they kept trying to fix it all event long with occasional moments of pure ear rape by how bad they fucked up, and even Eggman's VA outright calling out the stream audio's fuckery.

[QUOTE=SpyWolf;50764045]already have flash backs to the constant *BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTT*[/QUOTE]
already have flashbacks to when my computer was at 100% volume and my speakers were at 50% and then the audio went full ear-rape
[QUOTE=RikohZX;50763983]and even Eggman's VA outright calling out the stream audio's fuckery[/QUOTE]
"Here is an impression of the livestream, BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ."
Incredible. Truly everything about this will be remembered for years to come.
It would be hilarious if they referenced it in Sonic 2017 by having a city/location where Eggman has monitors and speakers all over just broadcasting a speech by him, but it keeps getting interrupted by a repeating video, product placement and a constant buzzing sound.
I wonder if they are going to incorporate some of the parkour system from Lost World, even partially or revamped, for Modern Sonic.
It would be a very helpful mechanic for those who isn't very good with Air Boost.

I heard them screaming Sonic R. The game we truly need a remake of.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;50765324]Christian Whitehead is associated with it so if this does exceptionally well I wonder if a Sonic 3 and Knuckles remake for phones and console/PC would be back on the table.[/QUOTE]
If he ever gets to that, I'd really like to see him after be allowed to remake the Game Gear games in his engine with Genesis-style visuals.
Remakes of the game gear games in genesis format would be awesome
Not the best quality.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles definitely needs to get remake, and the ability to play the 3 games: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Standalone), Sonic & Knuckles (Standalone), and Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Lock-on).

Thing is, they were already at work on a port for iOS like the others. But for some reason SEGA refused to bite, either due to the music controversy or other reasons (which is malarkey, it'd fuck with people's nostalgia but they could always use Genesis-styled versions of the PC Collection songs).
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYnkfEh3TP0[/media]
It can't be because of the music controversy, because if that was the case, the DS Sonic Collection and the Steam release of Sonic 3 & Knuckle would have never happened.
Also, [url=http://www.tssznews.com/2016/07/23/sonic-mania-is-longer-than-generations-will-have-boss-after-every-act/]it seems every zone for Sonic Mania will have a boss and mid-boss like S3, and it's going to be longer than Generations.[/url]
Which, mind you, isn't saying much because outside of the mandatory challenges per era as filler, Generations was surprisingly short. But for a Classic Sonic game, that's actually a pretty hefty amount of content, especially for 3 characters. Probably not S3&K big though.
Hoping project 2017 will be longer than generations. I really want a good chunk of fun modern sonic stages
I would be cool if they make it S3&K long (14 Zones counting Doomsday Zone)

I also hope Classic Sonic will be playable in a 3d environment but we'll see on that too since we literally only have a trailer to go off of.

I learned from Did You Know Gaming that they were going to get Jaleel White to do the voice of Classic Sonic in Generations, that would've been badass.
Keep classic sonic mute. Has so much more charm
[QUOTE=redBadger;50769153]Keep classic sonic mute. Has so much more charm[/QUOTE]
While cute still, him being mute really has been grossly melded in without actual basis; the Japanese manuals for the early Classic titles and the idle easter egg from CD say otherwise.
Jaleel though is definitely not someone who I can see being Classic Sonic just because he was the voice of his DiC incarnations, and I highly doubt that Roger Craig Smith can make a voice that sounds any younger.

I think it would be weird getting used to it cause we're all used to him being mute now, but I think it'd be really cool and bring a lot of older fans back.
Also let him do a reference to this:
