If a Sonic game had THIS much wide screen, but people STILL ran into obstacles because they were "going too fast" and "couldn't see it coming", then I don't know to tell them... 🤷♂️
Sonic help! I'm trying to run from through Studiopolis but my resolution is dummy thicc and the clap from my pixels are alerting the Hard Boiled Heavies!
I think it's related to how flash games scale sprites up or down in a certain way that makes it look more jaggy. Especially rotating sprites are plagued by this kind of stuff
...Does this mean one could play Mania on a three-monitor setup and they'd be able to have the game display spread out across all three, with the playable character in the middle monitor? Idk if that would actually work or if this resolution would fit such a setup but I just imagined it and... _holy crap_
Oh finally, an aspect ratio wide enough to make things coming up ahead of you well and truly reactable Alright, editing this because nobody gets the point... I don't have a problem playing this or any other 2D Sonic game even in 4:3. I played them growing up so I know what to expect. I say this for people who didn't grow up on Sonic and expect games to have modern conveniences, such as the wider field of view afforded by the higher resolutions we have today. Long-time Sonic players, think back. I know you can play these games blindfolded now, I can too, but could you when you started? At the age of like five? Now tell me that average Joe over there with 5-year-old-you lack of gaming expertise can perform as well as we can in Sonic games when things coming up are visible on-screen only a fraction of a second before they hit you.
@@NRobbi42 That only happens in Sonic 1 and 2. Sonic 3, CD, and Mania don't have a whole lot of bottomless pits to begin with, and even then they are never in front of a bouncer or something that would direct you to fall into it.
2D Sonic games are bad because someone on the internet didn’t like Sonic 06 and I have no mind of my own even though this has nothing to do with that game and that wasn’t even 2D haha Sonic is bad, Sanic is still funny wanna play Fortnite?
This is actually optimal for Sonic games since you’re moving hella fast and can’t see shit most of the time. This fixes every problem I’ve ever had with the Sonic games.
I love how when the blue missile gets hit, it actually does turn around rather than being unloaded. I didn't expect that to happen, considering it's a detail you'll never see in game
You know, I'm actually rather impressed. This is the first video on RUclips I've seen with this resolution. I can see it all in detail. Nice one! What's more, I could see certain spawn points for the Heavy Gunner boss fight!
The fact that Mania's UI elements actually support 21:9 is crazy. Imagine the screen showing "Studiopolis Zone Act 1" and all the way to the top right of a 42:9 monitor is Sonic Mania. It keeps going.
I'd just like to say (if you even remember me) I apologise for my harshness. While I prefer ROM hacks over mods, I shouldn't have attacked you. I know a lot of work goes into plenty of your videos as well.
I’ve been playing Sonic games all my life. Imagine if the next 2D game was done in this style. I like it. I like it a lot. You have a LOT better idea of what is coming next so not only are you using your speed skills to get through the level, you are able to anticipate what’s coming next. I think there would be a lot of potential in an entire game done in this style that would make gameplay feel fresh.
Interesting that some scenery gets culled while actually on screen, like the windmill and "club spin" billboards, but only if they move off screen to the right.
The size of the screen reminds me of the arcade Darius is a video game of Aerial shots published by Taito, originally for arcades, in 1986. It is the first game in the series of matadors Darius and, after its appearance in the arcades recreational
Looks kinda cool on my 32 inch TV if a but impractical. The HBH fight was most interesting as some of the background elements popped up out of nowhere and the path you just ran through started breaking up behind you and what was with the row of diagonal rings as well. Plus you managed to muck up the transition scene at the end, brilliant 🙂
Itd be nice to see this as a speedrun of the level, or atleast *fast* being able to see the characters running what is usually psat the screen would be really neat to see in this ratio!
I find this aspect ratio interesting since now you can see practically anything that's ahead of you. It begs the question on if 2D Sonic should have the camera zoomed out more for people who want to see what's ahead of them.
If the next 2D Sonic game has an option to zoom out the camera to something like this I don't think I'd mind!! That would probably put an end to the whole "I can't see what's ahead of me" thing.
I kinda like this. You can see more room on screen, which is nice for the high speeds you hit in Sonic games. Ether that or the video is just stretched idk it’s 3:00 AM
Finally! I can see what’s happening in front of me! You don’t know how many time I run into enemies, walls or fallen of cliffs just because it’s so zoomed in
if Sega could figure out how to make All classic sonic games display like this, it would remove the biggest flaw I have with the series since high speed with not enough visibility makes it impossible to predict whats coming so you inevitably end up hitting road stops constantly, this fixes that.

Now, people with their 4k monitors can normally play sonic mania and watch your video btw
I bet you can't rig a multi-monitor display with this game and get 5 screens displaying Sonic Mania in a row!
Sonic Mania but you can see everything in a ten a mile radius.
Oh hey Pana, are you getting a game that has more than one stage?
Sounds like my type of game

Bruh 😂

Now it kinda looks like a flash game. Maybe it's just that the sprites look smaller.
That and it's just a problem some flash games have of showing too much of the playable area.
It looks like one of those old fangames like Sonic Universe.
I think it's related to how flash games scale sprites up or down in a certain way that makes it look more jaggy. Especially rotating sprites are plagued by this kind of stuff
A very good flash game
Though this looks way too visually good to be a flash game.
Calling it right now, Speedrunners will use this.
this counts as cheating for them...
Darn straight that s a purple dragon
They already do, I saw something similar in a Sonic CD TAS something like 8 years ago
Greedy Raider
I think he mostly meant for practice runs. Obviously this wouldn’t be legal in a real speedrun.
They can play in 4x3 and will still be playing way above average.
...Does this mean one could play Mania on a three-monitor setup and they'd be able to have the game display spread out across all three, with the playable character in the middle monitor?

If you put it in windowed then it should be able to span 3 monitors, I would check how it works on multiple monitors but I'm not at home rn
@@gaynerdsfighting I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS WORKS
@@MapleMilk it works with other games, so I see no reason that it wouldn't work

5760x1080. lots of games before Mania supported it so I don't see why it wouldn't.

It's moreso dashing into and under a platform that'll crush you. This game has a lot of those lmao
But not above you haha
Unless it's above or below you, anyways
This + Co-op = Perfect.
Yeah!!!
you have an amazing point.
Nevermind Co-Op, how about 4 player competition with this resolution?
Agreed, Nintendo should do the same with this

@@Sydney_Angelyt IGN and his followers in a nutshell.
Yes you can see what's above you and what's ahead of you, and 2D games are not bad. 5persondude you are a noob
IGN is stupid and should stop talking about video games because the people who own IGN are idiots that need to shut up
The boss fight in act 1 is quite interesting, showing how the track switches pieces on the parts you usually cannot see
I think that it actually teleports the player to the start after a while to make the illusion that it lasts forever until you do damage.
Ooohhh that makes sense
Still, pretty dang neat how they managed to do that

I never even knew an aspect ratio like was possible! Both to be played on and uploaded to RUclips!
So is this what happens when an extremely talented programmer gets bored?
Huh.
Oh my god, this would make the game so much easier to plan ahead
It has been a year and nobody commented on this shit
It has been 9 months and one person commented on this
I literally had to watch this at 1440p resolution to actually be able to see a thing!
btw: *HOW ON EARTH DO YOU HAVE 101 LIVES?!!!*

Not only does this look okay; but now I wish every Sonic Game looked like this.
UP THE VERTICAL TOO
Woah I can see miles to anything that prowls at my left and right, wait whats above me?
This is wonderful! I've always been fascinated with these widescreen views. Would love to see a full game playthrough like this.
People:"the problem with Sonic is you go too fast to see what's coming"
Op:"You were saying...?"

This is just beautiful, subscribed.
I think 2D Sonic games would look much better if they were zoomed out a bit. Do we really need a 3.84:1 (34.56:9) aspect ratio?
Wow this is uh, very interesting,
no cheating CodenameGamma, with that insane resolution
I only get 640x480.....
Basically, this solves every Sonic player's problem with not seeing what's ahead of you and then giving up
Quite a big screen ya got there.
LuigiBoard23 whaddya buyin’
7:07 and to this day, Tails never reached Flying Battery. Making the entire journey pointless lol
The game softlocked. That's what happened.
Just imagine Fortnite in this aspect ratio. Then the game would be super easy.

This would certainly help with finding the special rings in Encore Mode.
WHY ITS SO LONG
btw thats what she said
Reminds me of Darius with how the original two games and Dariusburst AC use a very similar resolution.
Interesting that some scenery gets culled while actually on screen, like the windmill and "club spin" billboards, but only if they move off screen to the right.
You can see when it loads and unloads bits of scenery in the Act 1 midboss battle.

*Someone please get this into an Imagine theatre, that would be amazing to play it on that!*
Looks like how Sonic was always meant to be played. When you can actually see what is in front of you.
What scares me the most is the fact that my internet is able to load this video
Itd be nice to see this as a speedrun of the level, or atleast *fast* being able to see the characters running what is usually psat the screen would be really neat to see in this ratio!
Being able to see so far ahead... This is beautiful.
That extra screen real estate would be a joy to play with.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL
I find this aspect ratio interesting since now you can see practically anything that's ahead of you. It begs the question on if 2D Sonic should have the camera zoomed out more for people who want to see what's ahead of them.
I keep trying to scroll up because I keep thinking that half of the video is cut off.
Finally a Classic Sonic game where I can see what's ahead of me.
This would have gotten rid of the "running into traps and enemies you can't see" problem that was so frequent in the old games
Wow... I'm pretty impressed that you did this like no one has ever done this before.
when you don't want to run into off-screen hazards... and then an off-screen microphone drops in and takes your rings anyways.
At least you can see obstacles ahead. It's like watching a movie in widescreen.
2:20 notice the bottom left side of the screen.
Finally, you can see what's coming at you when running at full speed
Hardcore classic fan: "Can you play Sonic Mania on a 4:3 resolution?"
Sonic Mania: "Well..."
Yes but also you can play it in 21:9!
It kind of looks like a sonic mania fan game that came out shortly after sonic mania was announced.
See the windmill in the background rendering in when you get close.
This would make for a dope-ass banner for a social media page. Especially the boss area for the first act of Studiopolis.
Got to love the pop-in/pop-out of background image
If the next 2D Sonic game has an option to zoom out the camera to something like this I don't think I'd mind!! That would probably put an end to the whole "I can't see what's ahead of me" thing.
Well, nice to finally be able to see the approaching baddies at sonic speed now.
I keep trying to scroll up thinking that the video's cut off, but the aspect ratio is just ... like that.
This is perfectly reasonable if your monitor is an ad screen billboard on the side of a building in some huge city.
This is good enough to see what’s coming up ahead
This is just pure eye candy to look at. :)

Honestly, this resolution would make sonic games a lot easier to play since you can see so far ahead.
Whoa that's awesome. I'd love to play the games from a wider angle like this
This is perfect for people who complain about getting hit by enemies they couldn't see coming.
Finally! I can see what’s happening in front of me! You don’t know how many time I run into enemies, walls or fallen of cliffs just because it’s so zoomed in
