What Even Is Sonic Forces At This Point?

Sonic Forces is them throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. It's either going to be a beautiful mess or a hot mess. Leaning towards the second one.

At least Mania is a thing.

I'm probably the only person here looking forward to this. It looks like a return to the Colors style gameplay, and that was good.

I agree. That was especially odd

Embarrassing, but I feel like that's Sonic's jam these days.

Can someone who doesnt hate sonic the hedgehog do the news for it on this site.

@Arminillo Negativity sells.

Are the writers for Sonic still the guys who made Happy Tree Friends?

@kyleforrester87 Im not. My youtube earnings are so low anyway

I hope it does alright. Gameplay wise it seems fine but the premise is nuts.

Then again sonic colours.

Definitely cheesy but if the gameplay is as good as generations and colours, I don't care.

@get2sammyb But the articles you linked express more pessimism than positivity on your part! /s

Wouldn't call it hate though, just measured caution, which at this point in sonic's career is more than warranted.

Sonic Fanfiction: The game

Sorry everyone but we're going to have to keep the positivity to a minimum. I know you all think Sonic is still cool but you're wrong and I'll have to start handing out bans if this keeps up.

Oh Sega. Why you so Sega?

The hate is not for Sonic, it is just for this game. At least Sammy didn't use Taylor Swift this time.

But honestly, it looks like a mess so I am not surprised. And not exclusive to Nintendo now!

@Quintumply They did the script to COlors which was really good, but yeah, this is pretty corny.

Looks like standard post Sonic Unleashed shtick to me, dunno what the problem is exactly.

@ShogunRok Just remember people can like what the want before ya ban someone. Unless you want the SJWs screaming censorship anyhow.

That said. Its a game. Premise can be as dumb as rocks and itll be cool so long as the game part is fun.

Generations style gameplay? Good.
Writers from Colours onwards? Good
Someone other than Eggman being evil? Good.
Corny music? Love it.

3D Sonic is a guilty pleasure, especially when it's edgy.

Yet another reason why I'm buying (and very much looking forward to) Sonic Mania instead 😃

"edgy rap music"
Have you even heard the rest of the song?

@Quintumply Given ive seen ban warnings for being positive about Nintendo a bit too much to some users here, I cant be careful

@johncalmc I just googled this right before reading the comments to confirm my memory was correct. Then I saw your comment and I knew I wasn't alone in this world. Bravo

All they needed to do was make it Generations 2

@Arminillo On the other hand, Sonic kind of deserves it.

Well it sounds like they got the voice actor who did Akihiro in Persona 3 to be Infinite. His voice is awesome

@Cowboysfan-22 Yeah, Liam O'Brien's great. Might be one of the most distinctive voice actors going.

Sonic is great but most of sonics games haven't been. Ain't being negative to show some restraint.

Looks great still can't get over the music though its so bad

Looks like they took Shadow and took his edge meter and cranked that sucker up to 1000.

This looks like a greenlight trailer. That music as well.... good lord. Was that Fred Durst?!?!?
This reminds me of that simpsons episode with Poochy. Sadly, this trailer didn't swiftly die on the way back to it's home planet.

Oh dear. Won't be going anywhere near this, can't stand this type of Sonic game, which sucks as I adored everything Sonic as a kid.

But - on the flipside - I know that there is definitely an audience for this. It isn't me, but at long, long last I at least have Sonic Mania to look forward to. I'm OK with Sega cranking out games like Forces if at least they cater to the other fans as well.

I'm a big Sonic fan but at this point I couldn't care less bout this game, it's turning into a mess.

I don't see why Sonic is so difficult to get right.
There's an alternate universe somewhere where there's been great Sonic games since Sonic 1.
