Sonic shouldn't have existed past SNK.
David Wright
No where
replaying as we speak
>seeing new avatars in SoS missions regularly
does me clearing the mission do something tangible? Or is it just a way for me to feel smugly superior about my cooler Avatar?

Your mother should have swalloed you instead

infinite instead of mephiles, the only good part of 06

Get the fuck outta here.

Here. It had so big budget (including marketing) and nearly zero of it came back, it forced (pun intended) to merge multiple prototypes and salvage whatever they could into a quick cash grab. They had to use interns and juniors as much as they could because they were cheaper. Thankfully it brought profit, so the next game might get bigger budget.

>Hype up Metal Sonic, Shadow, Chaos and Zavok coming back as villains
>Shadow gets 1 cameo at the end of a stage
>Metal gets a reskinned Infinite boss fight
>Chaos literally gets nothing
>Zavok has the most screentime and gets his own unique boss fight
At least Episode Shadow exists but fuck I was hyped for Chaos. Fuck Zavok.
Brayden Johnson
lol so upset
Lincoln Carter
Tried to be generations 2 but forgot what made generations fun.
Adam Evans
Doesn't make sense narratively. Mephiles doesn't exist anymore and to asspull him back to life is more if a hack job than Infinites creation.
Jeremiah Reyes
>Fuck Zavok
hopefully SEGA learns from their mistake and puts Zeena in Forces 2 instead
David Watson
>another Metal Sonic race
>it isn't even remotely fun and by far the most mindless one yet
>Shadows clone is a mute
>Chaos gets nothing and fucks off after bullying Tails
>Sonic Team insisting on making Zavok a thing
John Gomez
>Metal gets a reskinned Infinite boss fight
I think you mean
>Infinite gets a reskinned Metal Sonic fight, which is a reskin of the Silver fight in Generations
Fuck, Forces was so lazy.
Jaxson Cook
3 years on the lighting engine and one year of actual development
Jaxson Reyes
Can you guys please stop buying Sonic shit so we can get some better Sega games? I think it's time to shelve Sonic like they did Alex Kidd.
Carter Gomez
They didn't make Sonic's arms blue.
Blake Jackson
>3 years on the lighting engine and one year of actual development
>still looks worse than the game from 2008
sega everyone
Charles Green
>they've been torturing him for months!
Dominic Myers
I think it's time you shills got necked instead
Samuel Kelly
It's a intentionally unambitious, small and easy game, even the producer when presenting the game admitted "you dash like a maniac haha"
Still, it had a tiny team composed of talentless veterans and literal whos, and a cheap ass budget. I guess if it was profitable like the next game might be bigger in scale.
Mason Cox
>looks and acts as if nothing happened
Colton Gray
It was made by Sega Japan who could not fucking care less about how to handle the series
Jonathan Cooper
How the fuck did the story manage to be both bad and cringy? I actually find it painful to watch.
Sebastian Stewart
Reminder that Sega of Japan is what killed Sega having consoles.
Brayden White
What happened to the devs? Studio shut down?
Samuel Bell
What's worse? sonic forces or the fact that the last racing game wasn't an AllStars game but only Sonic shit?
Connor Lee
Too much 2D garbage levels. Only good part was the ridiculous story and music.
Joshua Barnes
The latter because not only was it only Sonic shit, it was Sonic shit with a mediocre as sin roster that gives mk8 a run for it's money, had soulless as fuck tracks, and its gimmick dragged it from being a mediocre game to just being flat out retarded and a downgrade compared to what came before. Not sure what the fuck sumo was smoking. They nailed the vanilla kart genre when they made the first Allstars racing. Why the fuck would you intentionally shoot yourself in the foot by including a retarded ass team gimmick? If you wanted heroes on wheels just fucking make the karting version of Riders but the speed/flight/power gimmick uses the transformation gimmick from Transformed. Or oooh I don't fucking know JUST MAKE A FUCKING SEQUEL TO TRANSFORMED LIKE EVERYONE WAS EXPECTING. Fuck team Sonic racing.
Adrian Hill
My main issue is that they fucked up the gameplay physics, it was easy to tell it was gonna feel like shit to play from the trailers, not sure why they didn't just lift the physics from generations, while not perfect it's way better than that shit.
Of course there's a ton of shit wrong with this game beyond that, Sonic games (and characters) trying to be dark is just sad and cringy.
I liked some of the songs though.
Levi Sullivan
This game had so much potential, it's a damn shame, at least we don't have to deal with their designs any more.
Jackson Gutierrez
>My main issue is that they fucked up the gameplay physics
Because it's literally a Lost World hack. You can tell because Sonic doesn't have a smooth transition from walking to running, there's a noticeable "clunk" between the two states, and it's especially noticeable in the air when you hold right for a split second long enough to send Sonic into "run mode" mid-jump which sends you flying over the platform you wanted to land on. Basically, it took Lost World's "manual transmission" for running and merely swapped it to "automatic." That's why Forces feels so shitty.
