[t]http://i.imgur.com/NTkN9XZ.png[/t] It's no Blaze, and it's probably no Fang. It looks a lot like a new cat/fox character of some sort, though some are saying it's potentially a create-a-character what with the "Join the Resistance" tagline and all that. [sp]or all the "Bubsy returns" jokes[/sp]
[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;52095988] My assumption is that he's in Green Hill because he's still in his own timeline, and by the end of that level he'll find a way to go back to Modern Sonic's timeline to give him a hand. That would make Forces a direct sequel to Generations story wise.[/QUOTE] Anyone else noticed the water is gone and replaced with sand in Green Hill Zone?
New details from [URL="https://nintendonewsblogger.tumblr.com/post/159498588913/famitsu-interview-shares-new-details-on-sonic"]a Famitsu interview for both Mania and Forces[/URL]: [QUOTE]- the third character in Forces will be an “unexpected character” - Sonic Boom Sonic is NOT in the game - the third character “plays an important role in the story, and embodies the overall features of the game” - Sonic 3’s bonus stages seem likely to return in Sonic Mania - “The boost system from Sonic Unleashed is present, as well as stages based on reaching the goal and clearing them a certain time limit also seem to be present.” - “Classic Sonic stages are based on side scrolling 2D action" and will also have a twist - Sonic Forces will be at E3 this year - E3 will be where the third character will be revealed - Sonic Forces story: “Dr. Eggman took over 99% of the world. Sonic and the “Resistance” members are fighting. Then another Sonic appears…” - the reason why Eggman takes over so much of the world is because of “a new power” that his obtains - this is the same power that makes classic Sonic appear - Morio Kishimoto is the director of Sonic Forces - Sonic Forces has been in development since 2013, and started around Sonic Lost World’s release - “Forces was chosen as a subtitle from it meaning “power” and “army”. Two strong forces (Sonic and co vs. Eggman) are facing off in the game.” - “This time, Sonic is fighting an Eggman who has nearly taken over the world.” - the game won’t be all dark and gloomy, but there are some lighter stages in Forces - Sonic Mania’s development began in 2015, as Sonic Team wanted to do a new 2D Sonic game and “not a remake” - the general rule for the art of Sonic Mania was to be above the level of Genesis, but under the level of Saturn - gameplay for Mania is similar to Sonic 3 - elemental shields were mentioned as returning[/QUOTE]
[quote]- the reason why Eggman takes over so much of the world is because of “a new power” that his obtains - this is the same power that makes classic Sonic appear[/quote] Guess we're messing with time travel again.
It's future sonic, calling it now. Past, present, it has to be future sonic.
I hope it's not the letdown gameplay gimmick, which is always the case
First impression wise, the "new ally" does look a little too generic for my taste.. I'm wondering if GUN will be present and play a bigger role in this game? [sp]Silver is in the game OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODYESSSSSSSSSSS[/sp] ([url=http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_Forces#cite_note-NR-25]link[/url])

More notably, those who have actually played the Modern Sonic demo commented that Tails is among those who radio in as support - unless, of course, we're supposed to think that the mid-destruction stage they showed off was sort of a prologue before the world is fully taken over.

Why the fuck do we even have other characters besides Sonic? Why not just have it be Modern, Classic, Archie, SatAM, and AoSTH Sonic fighting Metal Sonic?

You know what? I like Amy Rose. She's an adorable bundle of sheer willpower that approaches hardship with humor and optimism and I'm fed up with keeping that in the closet around other Sonic fans, while (of course) keeping my interest in Sonic in the closet around the general gaming community. It's farcical. Maddening. This fanbase should understand better than any what it's like to love a disappointment. Yeah she's often been terrible and inconsistent, but what about this series hasn't been?

[QUOTE=Megalan;52102973][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/RPrXr6P.jpg[/IMG] Any opinions? This was posted right after the game was announced.[/QUOTE] I'm not liking it, but as long as it doesn't have a shitty gameplay, or he plays like Sonic, I don't mind. ... but if that's true, my boy Coldsteel the Hedgehog canon now!! Hell, if I can paint the character orange and put him a white t-shirt, I'm playing the game as makeshift Bubsy!
I actually really hope that the whole "make your own OC" isn't true. It has that... stigma and charm that I feel somehow better if kept strictly a fan-fantasy / mockery. Sonic Forces is one of the "core" game for crying out loud.. this just feels off. Multiple "sources" are reporting it, so I guess I just have to suck it up and embrace what is coming. please please please don't jumpstart the sonic cycle again....
Who knows about that though; maybe if there's fun to be had like in the Chao Gardens of old I can see people genuinely liking it besides fucking around with character creation Oblivion styled.
Let's be honest an OC creator in an official sonic game is probably going to boost the game's sales, knowing the Sonic community this is a dream come true, to have their OC in a Sonic game. Feels like maybe they were inspired to do so by the Dragonball Xenoverse games which also does let you create your own character and play through the Dragonball storyline kinda. Fuck i'd say they hit a goldmine with that. I can already see Chris-chan's Sonichu Youtube LP.

Lets face it, every true sonic fan has made an oc at some point, either unironically or not.
Are you seriously accusing me of not being a true sonic fan ....................... maybe I'm just a 'normal' fan then :disappoint:
im ashamed to admit it but when i was like 12-13 i used to play a roleplaying mmo called "furcadia" and on that mmo you could enter servers that used sonic sprites as playermodels and there was a huge sonic fanbase community there. it was pretty cool in the sense i learned a lot about socializing and grammar there :v:
I feel that Sonic OC's and some of the artists themselves get too much shit; there's nothing wrong at all with wanting to partake in the fandom on that level, it's just the execution that really matters and on top of that it can become a learning experience for some. The (sadly numerous) recolors and extremely obvious self-inserts are really the only ones that are any awful. In contrast though, [URL="http://magimacaque.tumblr.com/post/144405326069"]there have been a few who've actually nailed the official look.[/URL]
