There's seven character types:
>Bear — Blows away enemies with a homing attack
>Bird — Flies high with double jump abilities
>Cat — Keeps one ring after being hit
>Dog — Restarts with five rings after the player dies
>Hedgehog — Collects rings when getting damaged
>Rabbit — Has longer invincible time after receiving damage
>Wolf — Automatically draws in rings when near them

I really don't get the hate for Forces. It mostly stems from the OC creator but literally who gives a shit I'm going to skip that entirely. Classic Sonic in Forces looks just as bad as Generations but I could go for another boost game for Modern Sonic. Mania is the Classic Sonic itch anyways, combine that with Forces and you're gonna get good classic and good modern.

>>382367039
Chaos looks great, I hope we get to finally see his missing phases.

I just wish classic wasn't there, nor wisps
like keep classic as the generations gimmick, keep wisps the colors gimmick, classic has mania so there's not even a reason to include him since modern can have sidescrolling segments anyway

>>382367039
what is even happening anymore? are all the past villains forming a goddamn legion of doom? this game is so batshit insane we might hit 06 plot levels of what in god's name is happening

>>382369180
While I agree about the classic thing Forces was in development before Mania, so even if Mania being a thing would persuade them not to include him normally it was too late by then.

I'm glad they are giving Shadow a bigger role again, sad he isn't playable.

>>382369413
oh, fair enough then, didn't think about the dev cycles

Seems so. This guy has interdimensional powers and has apparently brought Sonic's previous villains together.

Sonic defeated Shadow, Metal, and Chaos' final form singlehandedly in Generations.
So in this game the bad guys are: 3 sub-bosses, fuckin' evil barney, and a shitty looking edgy oc.

I bet this game ends up like 06 where it basically ends with everything getting reset.

We know the premise. Sonic disappeared for some reason and Eggman managed to pretty much take over the world, Sonic returns and joins the resistance along with Classic Sonic, who is actually not himself from the past but a Sonic from a different dimension, and of course the OC character. The edgelord is called Infinite, we don't know much about him but he's got some strange powers and seems to be the reason for the dimension shenanigans, including bringing a bunch of previous villains to help Eggman defeat the resistance and completely conquer the world.

>>382371801

I just want to play Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Blaze in a kick ass Sonic game against Eggman and Metal Sonic with a Chao Garden and Adventure Fields. This is Sonic 06 all over again but it won't be a glitched up piece of shit this time.

Honestly with the premise and everything I think this game will be more fun to play if it's a disaster held together with chewing gum like 06 or Boom.

>>382377860
>Sonic Heroes is way better than Sonic Adventure
How? It controls worse, has worse level design, and the characters won't shut the fuck up, at least in the Adventure games the dated dialogue is contained to the cutscenes. The soundtrack isn't as good either.

>>382378264
The faulty controls are because of Sony. Level design is only bad for the last few levels, don't pretend SA doesn't have bad levels either. Mad Space, all of Gamma and Knuckles, Crazy Gadget, Pyramid Cave, Eternal Engine. The music and dialogue is better than anything in Adventure. You're crazy

>>382378469
>The faulty controls are because of Sony.
So? Doesn't matter whose fault it is, it controls worse so you can't call it the better game.

>>382378783
Its faulty when compared to Sonic Adventure but alright in its own right. Every game has its control quirks you have to learn. I have died many times in old Sonic and Mario 3D games because I kept sliding around even when I didn't want to. Doesn't make them bad you just retry.

>>382378939
We aren't talking about it in its own right though, you started this comparing it to the adventure games.

Sonic Heroes was the game that made me stop buying sonic games

>>382379082
Yes, because thanks to everything else, Heroes is better. The Sonic Adventure games are loaded with underdeveloped playstyles. 1 doesn't even have a ranking system so there's no reason to replay the levels since they are very basic and small. And both games are seriously ugly to look at, SA2 may have the blandest art and graphics outside of 06 and Lost World.

>>382367114
>It mostly stems from the OC creator
What.
People are pissed because the level design seems worse than Generations and those stupid text boxes.

>>382377225
Unleashed > Generations > Colors

>>382372348
>What? Why?
Last game was about time so naturally this one has to be about space.

>>382379421
That's what the picture says. Only jokers pretend Colors is good. People with taste know Unleashed is the best. Generations is decent but more generic and simple with not enough to do, mainly popular from nostalgia milking.

Watching the Mania preorder trailer and the Forces E3 trailer back to back really brought home how unlikable modern Sonic is as a franchise.

>>382380039
Sonic Adventure 1, 2, Heroes, Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Advance, and Rush are all better than Sonic 1.

>>382380039
Mania is the entire top row combined, and Forces is Generations, Colors and Lost World combined except only the burger is edible and everything else is plastic.

>>382380325
Forces should include a dish that's a bunch of ingredients you're meant to put together yourself.

>>382372348
So when people inevitably shit on Classic's gameplay and compare it to Mania's, IIzuka can just say "He's not the same Classic Sonic though. :^)"

Kind of like how Sonic games aren't "platformers" anymore but rather "action games". A subtle, but very key, difference.

Sonic didn't go missing. Eggman with more than likely infinite's help, removed Sonic from the timeline before he ever challenged Eggman because no Sonic equals no opposition equals Eggman victory

What exactly is wrong with the plot? Eggman took over the world. Sonic and his friends join together to fight back. That is the plot. What is so fucking bizzare about that?

>>382382156
You're gonna have to look to fangames for that, Sonic Team's solution for making 3D Sonic work seems to be to make him actually interact with the 3rd dimension as little as possible.

>>382382156
Until Iizuka stays there.
Boost formula is the only thing they can do it right and even when 3d parts Sonic controls and feels like a tank.

>>382374227
Really not?
>MUH RIA

>>382382802
I don't mind the 2D sections in the boost games. It's just that Sonic Unleashed was actually the only game to get the balance right. You can safely call it a 3D game with 2D sprinkled in for the side acts and evenly balanced in the Act 1s. Everything after? It's the opposite, 2D games with 3D sprinkled in. Another thing is that the 2D in Unleashed felt like a continuation of the 3D action, just from a different perspective, thanks to some fantastic and thoughtful camera work. You just don't see that kind of effort in Sonic games anymore. Or any effort really. All they do is remake old stages with new graphics and make it only 2D.

>>382382937
How? What is giving you that assumption? It's literally Sonic and his friends joining together to retake the world against the villains. Where are you getting that things are more convoluted?

>>382384234
They're salty about Infinite's powers as well as the implications of Classic Sonic's reappearance. That and the four previous villains in the E3 trailer means there are a lot of plot points that need to be resolved in Forces' story.
Shouldn't be too difficult though

>>382383003
There's nothing wrong with that level design. Like at all. There was an abundance of alternate paths to take. Whoever was playing was going for the simplest and most straight forward pathway.

When this releases I would kek into the sun if Sonichu is a banned name

>>382384565
It's the springs that gets me. Take them out and it honestly seems like a fun level.

>>382383846

>>382384449
>four previous villains
Again, the villains joined forces. And the press release goes on to say that Shadow is there with his own agenda. They don't explain why Chaos is there, but it honestly seems like he's just mad about something again like in SA1. And if you listen to the dialogue in City Heights for Modern Sonic, the characters are looking for Shadow for help, because again, Shadow isn't a villain, he's a hero. If anything the only reason why Shadow is with the villains is because he's working as a spy and it doesn't get revealed until the end because "le Shadow is so badass"

People are honest to God hating on this game for no good reason.

>>382385098
The yellow springs on walls frustrated the hell out of me. I just wanted to do some parkour for fucks sake, just let me jump myself.

>>382385248
Yo for real. You know what the gayest parts were? When you bounced on the star pads to those automated "fast" sections and it played the boosting sound effect like that shit is as fast as fucking Sonic Unleashed or Rush. I fucking HATE Lost World. And you can see the EXACT same thing when Sonic goes to the 2D section of the level through the loop

>>382385441
those sections were okay to me, just shallow and boring. The worst parts of the game for me are the snowball level, Silent Forest Zone 4 and the Sky Road bonus level. The entirety of Hidden World is unnecessary filler too and I have a special hatred for that world.

>>382384449

Remember when LW explained what the Zeti where, why they have robotkinesis, and what exactly the purpose of the Lost Hex was?

>>382359761
I wish they didn't put the random OC character in the picture

>>382385843
First two points are valid, but there's no real need to explain the Lost Hex. It's basically Little Planet but it doesn't disappear for most of each month.
As for Forces, I get the impression they will actually try to explain what happens this time. Whether they do it properly is another issue altogether. Lost World didn't even try.

>>382385802
Theres nothing awful about those sections, its just that they were thrown in and I bet their mentality was that "this will due for the speed quota we have to hit with Sonic" and it was pathetic to what just came out before it. I hate that

>>382386095
Lost World's story was so fucking terrible. And Sonic was a total douchebag and retard.

Like, when has it ever occured prior to those games where Sonic was so overconfident that he didn't listen to what Tails was saying and just did his own thing?

>>382386425
Sonic 2 I guess? He did his own thing throughout and Tails just tagged along.

>>382386114
I'm going to bring up the dreaded 3DS version, but didn't it seem like the WiiU/PC version was a bit slower in comparison?

All they needed to do for 3DS controls is make it less slippery, make the WiiU/PC version faster, get rid of the filler levels and stick-shift mechanic and it could've been fine. And I liked the parkour aspect of the game, it just needed some ironing out. It's a shame we might never see it again, because it could've breathed new life into some level design. Something I'm really afraid of them messing up in Forces.

>>382386425
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGj3_MXeqLI

You weren't kidding. Holy shit that's bad.

>>382386901
I can get behind that. I do think the gear shift in speed and parkour were decent ideas. But rather than a button to run (since it's what you'll be doing most of the time)...it should be to walk instead. Perfect example would be a boost game. Just say, click the left stick down, and Sonic is at his walking speeds in the Unleashed hubs for example. But that kind of undermines the whole point behind sticks. You can control the speed you're moving at based on how hard you tilt the stick.

>>382372630
Jet was never a villain, he's Sonic's only proper rival to date.

Ironically, Sonic Adventure. Literally Tails himself says this in one of their stories.

This is what I hate about Iizuka, he doesn't get Sonic should have LIVED and LEARN from all the events in the past, hell in Unleashed he was at his most mature about how to handle situations. Now he acts like a fucking mental child. All that development to his character before Baldy McNoseHair era Sonic, down the fucking drain.

>>382388774
A lot of people group Unleashed with the modern games but it's a hybrid. It was the last Sonic of its kind while also being a footstep and laying out what direction the series would go in. Shit, Unleashed happens BECAUSE of Sonic thinking he was invincible as Super Sonic. The story is him dealing with the outcome, learning to be more humble, and being as helpful as possible. Jason's performance was very heartfelt. Western writers and Roger just are incapable of that sadly.

>>382389059
Roger makes Sonic sound like a pretentious douchebag, and when you couple that with Pontac's writing, you get the worst iteration of Sonic to date.

Isn't Sonic being a cocky douchebag what he is known for? I mean don't get me wrong Sonic Lost world was abysmal in terms of writing, but still. And Sonic Generations to me was far better. Both in gameplay wise and story wise.

>>382385721
what game is that?

>>382394951
Sonic was never a cocky douchebag. He's always been arrogant but always knew his limits and never shied away from help. He always knew he couldn't do everything himself, and always relied on Tails for the strategic side of things what the best options were. Hell the scene in the Space Colony ARK when he fell for Eggman's trap but trusted Tails enough to get the job done phones this in.

The writers are trying to make the characters go through character arcs they have already been through. They even said that in the Sonic Boom interviews, where they literally reset the characters to the blandest of stereotypes and tried to go through some bullshit "THE REAL TRUE POWER OF TEAMWORK" development arc that every single one of those characters, including Shadow, already went through in Sonic Heroes.

The writers are complete hacks. Sonic Team needs to go back to having the stories being done in-house, instead of having western influence ruin things. Our only saving grace for Forces story is Ian Flynn who is only confirmed to be writing a few cutscenes. Fucking hell.

It's not about the fucking phrase dumbass, it was used during the era of Sonic being a piece of shit character and killed all that development from his past adventure shaping him into a matured character. I mean, again with Adventure's comparison, why does he act in a very similar way to Adventure Sonic after all the shit that happened that made him realize "shit, shit got fucking real and even I can't save everything, things happen". Now look how he acts in Lost Cause?

However, you're wrong about that, Colors, Lost Cause and Lego Dimensions used that shitty ass joke, the latter being 5 years after it was already a dead joke.

I don't like the animations, they're the same as Generations.

The last Sonic game with a good jump was Adventure.

>>382396012
Lego Dimension isn't a fucking sonic game you idiot.

>>382396116
These animations are some frankenstein abomination of Lost World and Generations.

What I don't understand is that Sonic had extremely lively, smooth, and cool animations in Sonic Unleashed. Why did they get taken away from every subsequent game? What's the point of making all those detailed animations and throw them away one game later?

Adventure just had a rough top speed, hard to control when you reach it.
2 and the recent 3D games do a thing where your control is more centred at a certain speed.

But 2's jump doesn't feel snappy like 1's, it's floaty and gives the illusion of breaking your speed given the slower animation.

1. Budget, it was one of if not the most expensive Sonic game to date
2. Nintendo. Notice how every Sonic game starting from Unleashed had downgraded visuals compared to the Sonic games that were on PS3 and XBox? I bet many people haven't even noticed yet how Sonic's controls are now more like Colors again.

>>382397482
There was literally nothing wrong with the Controls in Sonic Colors so I really don't see it as a bad thing.

>>382397482
You're missing the point though. The animations were already there and made with Unleashed. Why not just reuse them since they look so good rather than abandon them and create new, worse looking ones in their place? Compare Sonic's run, feet movement, arm placement, grinding, and drifting from Unleashed to Generations. Even Colors kept the hand drift for example. The thought process behind Sonic Team's actions is just mind boggling. Iizuka is either playing 4D Chess or is fucked up in the head.

>>382397778
It feels janky when you put the Colours/Generations controls in a nonlinear platforming segment.
The 2D sections in the recent games all feel average.

They need to take the gameplay in a different direction than that of what Adventure 2 built through its Sonic stages.

>>382397778
I didn't say it was, barring the double jump and that you can swim by double jumping underwater. Which was retarded, but I digress. I'm just saying a lot a people say this is Gens 2 because muh Classic Sonic but the game seems more and more Colors 2/3 instead.

>>382397832
I think they would have to of redone them since they redid Sonic Models from each game, but idk for sure, I'm not disagree with you that if they could still use them, I'd rather they did.

Well it depends. What do you want from Sonic and how do you take that in a new, interesting direction?
