Honestly, the gameplay, level design, visuals and music are all 10/10. The only things holding Mania back are the rehash stages and that dumbass plot that associates it with what might just be the worst Sonic game yet.
>>
>>387045343
>what might just be the worst Sonic game yet.

You are way, WAY overblowing that.

The game has me disinterested because it takes Sonic Generations and doesn't do a lot differently. That means inherently the game is alright, it's just phoned-in as fuck. It's probably going to be a competent game but they refuse to push the design envelope.

Guys, will sonic forces suck?
>>
>>387044236
that's unfortunate, but I was going to completely ignore the story anyway. So it's not a big deal
>>
>>387045771
I think it's highly dependent.

If you're like me and think boost Sonic is dull, classic Sonic doesn't play right, and Wisps are completely out of place in anything outside of Sonic Colors (and anything contextually relating to it) then there isn't a whole lot going for Sonic Forces. The story seems interesting and the custom hero could be a decent shake up but to me that means we're headed into Sonic Unleashed territory (where the game is decent and fun but not as a Sonic game).

But if you appreciate Sonic Generations and don't have any issues with the Wisps, then this game is a decent evolution over Generations and could be compelling.
>>
>>387045750
Story is what makes Sonic 360 unsalvageable for me.

Even if the game actually worked, I'd be pissed off at having to follow the context of this completely inane and confusing series of events.
>>
>>387045771
Undoubtably so, and it won't have the excuse that "it was supposed to be in development for much longer" like 06 or the "It's an AU game that wasn't made by Sonic Team anyway" excuse from Boom

I can't suck, but it wont be amazing. Basically a more original sonic generations, which is okay with me. They already tried "something new" with lost world and failed, I'd rather have them go back to what works.

>>387046969
Generations was NOT that good buddy.
Not even that anon, but the bosses were pretty shit, the levels were unmemorable (aside from being from previous sonic games), the extra challenges were a mixed bag but ultimately just felt tacked on.
It was like a 4/10 game. It's only saving grace was that it came around the same time as unleashed.
>>
>>387047481
He was probably reffering to the idea that Forces will be the worst game in the whole Sonic franchise.

>>387044236
shut the fuck up

You don't play Sonic for the fucking story,you play it to test your platforming skills and to satiate the GOTTA GO FAST hunger

judging by the ending of Mania,it's also safe to presume that just like Generations,Classic Sonic is going to return to his world at the end of Forces

I don't know why the fuck you're being such a little bitch OP

I was intrigued by Forces, even though I didn't think classic Sonic belonged. I was more intrigued when they revealed the OC creator. That's a fun, fresh thing to bring to Sonic. But then I saw all the stuff with Infinite and the cutscenes and how the game looks like the cheesiest anime weaboo shit.

Then my interest plummeted.
>>
>>387047865
If they went with the original plot Eggman probably will take a backseat in favor of the heavies. At least now Eggman still the main villain.
>>
>>387047865
It left it just vague enough that it doesn't objectively hurt the game beyond the dumb as shit new gem and the questionable lack of involvement of the Time Stones, but knowing it's tied into that edgy piece of last decade's crap does hamper my enjoyment.
>>
>>387047759
>How is Infinite portrayed different to Mephiles or even Shadow in SA2? Because the whole "edgy" phase of the early-mid 2000s is over. It's like how Sonic Riders is over because the skater culture has died down.

Why is a Forces tie in bad? Its smart for Sega to finally have marketing for their games?

Or has forces (A gens/colors/day stage) style game bad now for some reason? Sonic finally found it's Bing Bing Wahoo engine equivalent so that it can improve on it over time like Mario did with 64, so why is the 2D game being tied to it bad?

Or do people hate Colors/Gens now?

You know good and well Infinite isn't not self-aware.

If you can't see that you are blind. He is purposefully made to be 20% cooler than you, he is the ulitmate "OC Donut Steel" Bad guy. Its self aware as fuck.

Which is why its fine. Its just like how Sonic Boom references the "TOO KEWL FOR SKEWEL" stuff aka bringing back skater culture.

Colors and Generations were as awful as the rest of the recent games, and underaged posters too young to know any better or appreciate games despite hardware limitations kept trying to force them like a bad meme.

Make no mistake, Sonic Mania is pandering to the old crowd with the rehashed zones as hard as Sonic Forces is pandering to the underage crowd with the Generations setup, an OC creator, and a storyline very much like the crap we've been getting and '06.
>>
>>387048784

People hate NSMB for rehashing itself 4 times with even similar music. Colors and Generations are distinct from each other and only share an engine, your comparison makes no sense.

Fuck, when Lost World came out you little shits kept bitching they should've done another Generations instead of "trying new things". Now that they're back to the Generations style, you claim Colors and Generations are bad? Fucking make up your minds already, god damned furry autists.

I don't remember it being anything special but if you say so.
>Collectables in levels serve a n in-level purpose, unlike red rings
>A ton of levels, each with multiple objectives
The multiple objectives and all the collectibles aren't a good thing they're a fucking chore and blatant padding.
>Fantastic soundtrack
Outside of a few vocal themes it's very forgettable, Possibly the weakest soundtrack in all the 3D games.
>Plenty of branching paths and room for exploration
Those branching paths don't happen through natural exploration though, you have to repeat the levels and do those chores in order to get all the different endings which don't actually matter because the last story segment contradicts almost all of them.
>Plot is pretty edgy, but appealed well to the targeted demographic of the time period
I remember thinking it was retarded even as a teenager.
>Phenomenal multiplayer
The fuck are you talking about, it's a big step down from SA2 and Heroes, all the playable characters are 6 different colours of Shadow for fuck's sake.

No. I'm not sure quite how to label them, but they're not normalfags and they're not self-respecting autists like to ones that post here for legitimate discussion. They're somewhere in between. It's like that socially awkward kid in highschool that runs through the hallways, wears baggy ass clothing, constantly tries to correct people and gets insanely defensive when they're wrong. Probably sits with others like them at lunch and has trouble being sociable around anyone else. The kind of person that normalfags AND the nerdfags bag on constantly.

I got you.

facebook com story.php?story_fbid=10155579467167418&id=23050342417&fs=5
Well-kempt, average, some fanart, pretty decent overall.

Okay, now let's look at the commenters for the Infinite teaser:
facebook com story.php?story_fbid=10155511250222418&id=23050342417&fs=5
Anime profile pictures, a fucking meme face, hipster hair and beard-do's, smattered in with a few normal-looking people.

Sega of Japan is known for wiping their asses with whatever Sega of America says.

It's written by the same guy who made Sonic 06. That's all I really need to know.

Oh, it's probably going to have good ideas put in it. All of the "bad" sonic games have at least one or two good changes that should be mentioned. Sonic 06 has at least one in that they put in a autosave feature. Sure, it doesn't kick in untill after Wave Ocean, it gets you stuck at Silver, and doesn't autosave town missions, but that autosave means you NEVER HAVE TO REPLAY THE FUCKING STAGES AGAIN after you beat them.

Dying to a particularly bullshit part, such as the end level of Sonic 06, and having to hear that "hint" OVER AND OVER, even though it doesn't really help you because the time portals fucking snipe your ass and are out to murder you, is the sort of game design I'd love Sonic Forces to avoid.

Colors was so fucking bad. The fact that people think it "saved" the series shows how mindbogglingly retarded the fanbase is. The series really went to utter shit starting 2010. The games from then on are shallow, boring, uninspired pieces of shits.

The fact you think this shows you're retarded. The only thing post-3D worth mentioning is Colors and Generations (wholly average games with high points) and maybe tidbits of Unleashed, maybe. Fuck me you probably think the Adventure games are good.

People liked Colors because it was the Unleashed gameplay without the werehog shit.
>>
>>387072147
I feel it was due to the timing. Unleashed had almost got it down, but was held back by the werehog. The fact that Sonic 4 episode 1 (supposedly for the classic fans) came out around that time didn't help. Colors taking after Unleashed's daytime stages (even if mostly in 2D) was a sign that, hopefully, Sonic Team finally knew what they were doing.

Hardly. At least the latter two are functional fucking games, SA1 is a buggy unfinished mess where you're liable to have your momentum completely killed by invisible obstacles in the terrain or fall through the floor. SA2 is much better and more acceptable but it's still only 33% of a good game because the rest of it consists of the mech and treasure missions. They're shit games with value in nostalgia and nothing else.

>>
>>387071045
My beef isn't with different characters being playable in the final, but simply the final of Sonic 06 not being fun at all and hoping Sonic Forces DOESN'T follow in it's footsteps (it probably will)

SA2's finale was pretty good, the only bullshit part MIGHT be if you didn't find the water breathing upgrade for Knuckles... but you could always just go to stage select and find it. They flow from one to another without too much bullshit.

Heroes was bullshit getting all four teams to that end level, but the end level itself was okay. Fucking Chaotix levels always left me going in circles.

Sonic 06's end level was not fun. All the characters go slow, and the levels involve Time portals designed to fuck over anyone NOT fast enough to get away, like Amy and Silver. Also projectiles are thrown at you from places you can't see. And the instant death portals can spawn RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU. And you can't bring in YOUR FUCKING LIVES so if you die in a section that has a character you don't really play well with, you have to go through ALL OF THAT SHIT ALL OVER AGAIN, so Trial and error isn't fun and Just because I can S rank that shit now, doesn't make it any less bullshit

Complete puts back Big Arms, lets you choose between sonic 3 and the & knuckles versions of songs and level layouts and anything else that can be different between the two games.
It also let you do other things like set Flying Battery Zone to be after Carnival Night as was originally intended to be the case (complete with proper level transition and night background, and changing the snowboard in icecap to be the door you blast off in the level transition) before it got moved to sonic & knuckles so that game solo wouldn't be too short. You also get the option to use a different button to transform into super sonic so you can still use the insta shield without transforming and transform with a shield powerup and a whole bunch of other shit, it's the best way to play Sonic 3 at this point until Sega lets taxman make a widescreen port.

>>387072654
Spotted the Gamecube owner. Should have played the Dreamcast versions and not the broken ports. Adventure Sonic stages are great, and everything else that wasn't fishing was solid. Adventure 2 Sonic/Shadow stages were also great, and the mech stuff was mediocre but beat the hell out of the majority of Colors and Unleashed. Treasure hunting was terrible though.
Unleashed werehog shit is awful, of course, but the daytime sidescrolling portions are even worse. They legit play worse than even Sonic 4. Maybe 1/3 of that game is worthwhile, which is far less than either Adventure. Colors has it just as bad. There's no werehog, but there's a bigger emphasis on the atrocious sidescrolling shit and the first acts of each level are the only ones even remotely enjoyable. Generations is the only 3D boost game to get it mostly right.

It doesn't, it placed CD in the wrong place in the timeline and it regards Generations as canon, which it isn't. The Classic continuity never happens in Modern Sonic's past, 1,2,CD,3K, and Mania all exist in a separate dimension where the 3D games never happened.

Like I told the other guy, I played SA on Dreamcast originally. And fuck no dude, the mech missions of SA2 where even worse than the treasure hunt missions but both were bad.

The instant death portals beign Gameplay related is true enough. However, the writing allowed Instant-Death portals to be possible, and also took out the only two FUN (read: broken and go fast) characters to play - Blaze and Sonic - out of the story, so I HAVE to play as the shitty slow characters who will die to time portals and I HAVE to listen to everybody say SONIC I'M CUMMING every fucking time I lose all my lives.

It's been made clear by SEGA and Sonic Team that Generations isn't canon, Forces clearly retconned Generations by clarifying that Classic Sonic is from a different dimension, not Sonic's "past" like Generations asserted.
Adventure 1 showed a clip of Amy being kidnapped by Metal Sonic, but they're in their Modern incarnations and in Green Hill Zone, a cutscene that never happens in CD at all.
Mania also includes characters from Sonic the Fighters that don't exist at all in the Modern dimension which confirms anything Pre-SA1 occurs in the Mania dimension.

4 is also not canon as indicated by Mania.

Also Metal Harbor is unironically one of the best tracks in any Sonic game and I'll stick by that.

I feel really autistic knowing this but why the fuck does this guy think CD takes place after 3&K when it isn't even likely to have happened after 2? We know for a fact that little planet only appears one month a year and it disappears at the end of CD so it would take at least a year after angel island for Metal Sonic to get revived for 4 when 2>3>4 happen in a short amount of time from each other. Or 2>3>M since I guess Metal is in that so it kind of contradicts things. "Some time after Angel Island" could mean anything though.

>>387075615
CD is a spinoff that has its elements already incorporated into Mania, also Mania takes place after CD because of the Metal Sonic fight and the fact that it explicitly states Sonic and co. are /returning/ to Stardust Speedway
>>
>>387075658
Why don't you compose arguments yourself then, redditor-kun? When someone says why they don't like Adventure you just claim it's an adopted opinion and you offer nothing else except to say "I LIKE IT SO IT'S NOT FUCKING BAD THE THINGS YOU ENJOY ARE BAD BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THEM MY WORD IS LAW YOU NIGGER SHEEP"
>>
>>387075007
That just proves my point. It doesn’t disprove Sonic 4 at all. Like I was saying, Mania takes place after the events of the Angel Island Saga in a different timeline. It happens after that timeline's 3&K events, probably during Sonic CD in the prime timeline.

So

I just noticed something after watching the opening animation for the millionth time.

King Heavy and Infinite both have yellow eyes. It becomes so obvious once you look at the last few seconds of the opening.when their eyes glow in the darkness. And the rest of the heavies glow red. I dunno if there's a connection but Infinite has four allies too right?

Just something I noticed.

I could just be coincidence but doesn't it mirror Forces alot? I mean not only does Sonic fight Eggman with a "final boss" mech at the beginning of both games but he also has 5 lackeys working for him, with one being the "leader" of the 5.

I know it's pretty much confirmed that the two games are connected but maybe there's more gong on here.
>>
>>387075332
>Mania just happens to lead into a shitty crossover.
And that's why I disregard it as non-canon

I don't know about Sonic the Fighters...I think it's at the same status as R...maybe it is canon but probably it's a spinoff like the game gear games

CD is a main title it comes after Sonic 1/before Sonic 2

>>387075035
>>387075976
CD is a solo spinoff game that takes place some time after 2 but is not explicitly stated to take place after 3.
>>387076051
It says that Sonic is returning to the stage in a lot of promotional descriptions of the Act 1 of Stardust Speedway because it is now overgrown, and the returning CD levels have the Past and Future signposts and functionality intact.
CD was also never stated to be a mainline game, because it's a spinoff, which is why it wasn't numbered.
>>387076242
It isn't non-canon, it's a clear continuation of the Classic series and manuals and materials on the game plot clearly state it directly takes place after 3&K.
Mania clearly shows that Sonic the Fighters is canon because it includes characters from that game.

>>387075310
I suppose that Spinball and Mean Bean Machine are canon now too since Mania references it

Nah, Sonic Adventure is a soft-reboot. As evidence by how much the characters personalities change, Amy aging to 12 all of a sudden, Tails' personality being reset to be similar to back how he was before Sonic 2, Knuckles' personality is again reset to be naive when if this was a continuation he should have learned from his mistakes by now but in the modern era he's just dumb while the Sonic 3 manual says that he's naive because he's lived in Floating Island all his life by himself guarding the Master Emerald.

Maybe. Earlier in the intro Emperor Hevay has yellow-on red eyes, which is what Infinite has. Could also be nothing though, because Eggman is the last one to hold the gem in Mania.
>>
>>387076439
The only “returning” mentions are social media and promo material by Sega, not in game, not in manual. Sega has been proven to have been lying by saying it is Classic Sonic playable in Forces when the reality is not the case. If Classic Sonic is not in Forces, then he cannot be in Mania, which proves without doubt that there are 3 Sonics.

Except they are mentioned in the manual, look up the leaked scans, it clearly states that Mania takes place directly after 3&K. Sega would not lie about their own game, Forces retcons Generations by proving Classic Sonic is from his own dimension where all the classic games exist besides 4 which is disproven to be canon due to it not fitting in either dimension and its only "canon" mention is in a non-canon game.
The only three Sonics are Classic, Modern, and Boom.
>>387076815
CD is a spinoff, it is not labeled as a mainline classic entry and its story has minimal impact on any part of the canon aside from introducing Metal Sonic.
>>
>>387077062
>I don’t like the art style so it’s not canon

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hey, I hate the way Sonic looks in Heroes. Just because I find it ugly, doesn’t mean it ain’t canon.

Honestly, I think the better proof of Sonic 4 not being canon is the fact that they left Little Planet trapped in the Death Egg MK II at the end of the second episode and never really resolved it.

Sonic 4 isn't canon, CD is clearly a spinoff, stop living in denial and face the facts. Just because CD is a spinoff doesn't mean it isn't canon, it's included in Sonic Mania despite not having an elevator button because it's a spinoff and not a main-series game.

They need to go back to Unleashed. Unleashed had the pe defect balance of story being serious and silly.

well for starters, eggman's line could be interpreted differently, as he's clearly modern eggman in classic sonic's dimension

that just means classic is retconned to being from another dimension instead of from the past, that's it

>>387078325
Mania is non-canon because it links to Forces
>>
>>387078998
Adventure 1&2, Heroes, Shadow, Riders, 06, Secret Rings, Unleashed, Zero Gravity and Black Knight are all god tier, amazing, beautiful games. I'd have to say Heroes is my favorite though
>>
>>387078595
But that's exactly how those people started

You're being ironic aren't you

Lost World was even worse because Pontaff tried to have some moments of drama in the middle of all that and the tone was all over the place.

“He’s clearly modern Eggman in Classic sonic's dimension”

No. He is clearly in the prime timeline as eggman prime with pint sized Sonic. If not, tails and the resistance wouldn’t be there.

It's not ridiculous at all you fucking cancerous tripfag nigger.
Classic Sonic is 16 years old(pic fucking related) and I will never accept Iizuka's """"canon"""" nor his pathetic rectcons which seek to shit all over the games the real Sonic Team worked on in the 90s

no matter how many QUANTUM TIMELINES you try to come up with

Forces is the current canon. Mania is canon as it links to this. Generations is retconned by Forces because it's the "first" appearance of Classic Sonic in canon, Generations was a pandershot spinoff that added nothing to the main canon of either line. The ending of Mania proves that Classic and Modern are separate dimensions.
As bad as Forces might be or look, it's the current canon.
>>
>>387079421
Generation is not a big deal, far to reach the plot hole level of Blaze in Sonic 06 for me.
>>
>>387079421
Explain why it isn’t canon.
>>
>>387079370
>the real Sonic Team
where are them now?
what happened to the original people who made sonic?
why aren't them the ones who made mania?

The Adventure games had the best game feel and control for Sonic in all of the 3D games. His weight and acceleration is fucking perfect, the spindash is fun as fuck to use and speedrun with, especially on a gamecube controller he just feels completely natural to control and I just want Sega to recapture this. He's literally never had this kind of control ever since they fucked it up in Heroes.
>>
I don't know what you guys are talking about but sonic 4 episode 1 has that one casino street act with the cannons and I hated that shit, can I be angry too?
>>
>>387079303
It's not canon because that yellow buckteeth faggot Iizuka is trying to shit on the classic universe with his deviantart bullshit.
>>
>>387079531
So you’re either an underaged Centenial or a 35+ plus gen Xer arguing with kiddies on /v/ on a Sunday?
>>
>>387079563
because sonic has no canon since 98
just a bunch of experimental-ish games with shitty plots and barely no continuity
>>
>>387079050
That's not manual. That's some wiki article written by someone based on his interpretation on cutscenes. I checked both Sonic 3 and Sonic&Knuckles manual in Japanese and US version for each of them, and didn't find that.

Yasuhara stopped working on Sonic after 3D Blast and R(he hated 3D Blast) and left Sega in 2002.
Oshima left to form his own studio after Adventure
Naka left shortly before '06

A ton of artists and writers just retired or something

Nobody gives a shit. The game sucks.
The story isn't even that good it's the same shit as Adventure except less cheesy and better directed.

Well the topic was about the story so why'd you get involoved if you don't give a shit?
>>
>>387080003
Every Sonic plot after 3&Knux and before Unleashed is shit, but Adventure 1 at least had Gamma. That alone puts it above the rest in that era.
>>
>>387079891
this is fucking sad
if sonic is not on the hands of his original creators then what we've been getting isn't really sonic
>>
>>387079731
Pretty much this
FFS they killed Shadow at the end of SA2 and they brought him back for Heroes and later games anyways because of fan demand.
