They've said there's going to be a roughly 60:40 split in favour of old.

I'm actually somewhat disappointed by the choice of a level. Like, why not Aquatic Ruin? Or Oil Ocean? Chemical Plant was already in Generations. Oh well, at least the second act looks like something completely different, so w/e.

 

Also, Chemical Factory, huh? That's weird to see a classic level being renamed (unless it's a mistake on GameInformer's part, which I somehow doubt)

Crosspost from the other topic.

Well, the level itself looks good, but I wished we got some other stage, since we already have Chemical Plant in Generations.

I'm here for a new remix though, it sounds very good.

The Tails footage looks VERY good. I'm hyped. I guess that's act 2?

Oh sweet. I love Chemical Plant. It's the only Classic stage that involves going underwater that I don't hate.

Heh. Now all we need is Sky Sanctuary, and the Generations reunion party can begin.

Not surprising to see Chemical Plant return, but I'm interested to see what's new about it.

I adore Chemical Plant Zone like no other, but I definitely would have preferred another pick from Sonic 2. Aquatic Ruin, Mystic Cave, Casino Night, etc.

The footage itself contains some neat new mechanics with the bouncing/sticky goo and the directional pipes. Really seems like it'll facilitate interesting level design. Also the remix is wonderful.

Wow, that remix! It's as if Chemical Plant's been dropped into CD. Even if we have seen more of it recently, I'm super glad that it's in!

Simultaneously disappointed it's Chemical Plant and relieved it's not Aquatic Ruin. I'm hoping Sonic 1 at least gets another zone to represent it since we've had both Green Hill and Chemical Plant in Generations.

I like what I'm seeing from this version though considering I was never the biggest fan of it in Sonic 2.

That's a little disappointing considering Generations and all, would have preferred a zone not noticed as much but still obviously it looks cool. 

Also very interesting how we get to see both act 1 and act 2. Act 2 seems to be inside of a structure. Some inspiration from Wacky Workbench with that pool of bouncy slime, and I've never really seen platforms like those purple ones you hang onto before in any classic Sonic game. That swirling tube Tails slides down is taken from Quartz Quadrant. Also note you can actually decide what direction you are going in the act 2 tubes, reminds me of S&K Death Egg.

Also, I get some Hydrocity vibes from the way you can see partially another path composed from the loop. That means there may be more parts directly inspired from Hydrocity. I think it's a pretty safe bet Hydrocity won't be showing up with how similar Chemical Plant is.

To be fair, CP is the zone that sticks out the most in Sonic 2... The rest of the zones are kinda bland compared to it.

The music sounds groovy! And the sound effects here sound satisfying-

I fucking knew it, Chemical Plant is coming back, I would have gone for Mystic Cave or Aquatic Ruin Zone but hey, hopefully they'll choose Mystic Cave next from Sonic 2, I would love to see some degree of mining gimmicks in Mania.

I swear to God if the next remastered level is Sky Sanctuary, I'm gonna...

 

 

 

be very happy because I would actually like to see how the Mania team re-invents that level, that would be pretty interesting.
