>Link CompilationDrawfag/Writefag Idea WallsNews/Developments
Only disappointment from the panel for me was no Crush 40. I'm itching for something from them.
Everything else was pretty great.
Robert Ross
first for I GOTTA GET A CLEAN RIP OF THAT THEME MUSIC RIGHT FUCKING NOW
Nathan Howard
FAST
Jordan Long
SONIC FORCES ANIME CONFIRMED
Ian Ross

Luis Anderson
Sonic Forces a Meme
Jaxson Bell
Sonic Forces a worldwide communist revolution?
Kevin Allen
ROCK LAUNCH
Jeremiah Walker
One more until Eggman #700
Carson Watson
The threesome scene with Amy and Elise was a bit out of place wouldn't you think?
Lucas Thomas
I AM NOT DONE WITH THE 700TH PIC STOP GOING FAST
Evan Nguyen
Reminder to call this boost to win trash Sonic Feces. Make it known that this garbage shallow gameplay style is unacceptable.
Lucas Myers
First Important News Post.
Charles Wright
Crush 40 and Jun himself is a tired meme.
Justin Phillips
Nth for FUCKING WISPS AGAIN REEEEEE
Cooper Walker
>EGGMAN WINS Just in time for our Eggman #700 It's pottery
You shut your whore mouth.
Tyler Jones
PLEASE FUCK OFF WITH THIS MEME AND DON'T RUIN THE THREADS NOW
Lucas Miller
Still can't believe the madman asked about the comics.
It was dodged hardcore, but still.
Kayden Flores
Well here's my bingo card.
Honestly wasn't expecting to get one but It was still fun to do.
Aiden Morgan
SONIC FORCES AND MANIA ON STEAM FOR PREORDER!
Lincoln Fisher
ARE YOU NIGGERS DEAF THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO MIX PLATMFORMING INTO THE GAMEPLAY
Bentley Phillips
Okay.
Question.
Who here knows more than he's letting on?
Noah Ortiz
No.
Seems like they are just the fuel for boost at the moment.
Bentley Hall
Sonic Forces confirmed for Generations DLC. And I'm supposed to be happy.
Tyler Cruz
the third style is going to be eggman isn't it? possibly setting up hazards for the two other sonics.
Grayson Brown
>Giant mechs destroying shit as you traverse the level >debris and explosions all around you I can dig it.
Xavier Campbell
Is there a special hell for people drawing lewd Sage?
Dylan Torres
Not him, but I did not catch that. Still, there were some disappointing things there man. Maybe the other styles will not have some of the things perceived undesirable elements.
Tyler Bailey
>Is there a special hell for people drawing lewd No, that's pretty much just what regular hell is for.
Ian Ortiz
Yeah it's called /sthg/
Charles Lee
What if it's Metal Sonic?
Kayden Peterson
So Forces is all new levels, right?
Xavier Wood
>Bringing back Unleashed style Boostings
>That anime as Fuck theme music
James Adams
I'm not committing to playable friends until we get actual confirmation of all 3 styles - even then if it's just Modern, Classic and Boom that doesn't count.
Jaxon Jones
i thought that but I would guess they would go for something different.
Julian Morgan
I'm glad Sonic Forces is going back to Boost instead of that Lost Worlds bullshit.
Luis Thompson
Yes, you get to be locked in a room with some of our worst shitposters.
Parker Collins
not that I care because boost is overdone and frankly, gimmicky.
Zachary Martin
Reminder that the official Sonic Twitch is streaming now too.
Presumably, although that level they showed looks a bit like Rooftop Run, but fucked up.
Carter Rogers
I'm happy about the boost formula returning. It means that Sonic Team is actually sticking to a consistent formula.
>mfw Forces levels are just Generations levels but destroyed/on fire
Lucas Wood
Yeah, seems like it. Honestly, I don't know what people were expecting from Forces. Boost was obvious from the first trailer, so I don't get why people are acting like it coming back is a surprise.
Cameron Wood
It seems like the experimentation will likely be in the third gameplay style to be revealed. Not a bad choice if they keep the regular gameplay consistent.
William Nguyen
Agreed. It doesn't fit Sonic anymore
Parker Ortiz
unleashed? did they fuck up that much?
Asher Gonzalez
That's probably what we're getting. It'll just be a darker Generations with less friends
Eli Campbell
>Same birthday as Iizuka and Sergio 16th March boys4lyfe
Zachary Powell
Yeah it looks okay, but I'm fully expecting >do something "wrong" in the stage (like jumping when the geometry of a certain type of debris is touching Sonic's right foot) >game glitches out >get ripped from the cutscene rail you were stuck to >camera is frozen in place, but you can still move around >explosion sounds get louder and louder until all game audio is just noise >patricle and debris effects begin multiplying themselves as well, tax video to its limit in seconds >game then just freezes >might be able to relaunch game on PC (f you're fast enough) >have to restart entire console on xbone and ps4 when the game launches.
Jacob Sullivan
>waaaaaah muh purity How about you go elsewhere playing Pong or something
Gabriel Torres
I didn't get a chance to see this whole panel, but from what I've seen from last thread, Sonic Forces going to be: >Three gameplay styles with one of them being Boost. >Sonic's friends might be back >Eggman won >Hero and Dark stories probably like SA2 >Wisps *sigh* >There's another trailer Correct?
Alexander Mitchell
i think it's a joke
Cameron Rogers
>official gameplay video being posted tomorrow >polygon guy also saying he can't talk until tomorrow happening >8 am pacific FUCK I AM GOING TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORK DAY AAAAAAAAA
I am super confused. It made sense for they to move away from Boost because of how time consuming it is to make a level that only lasts a few minutes, but judging by the things they mentioned, we're going to have more boost than ever.
Aaron Diaz
Seems like it. Outside of Wisps, I'm fine with this.
Jason Gray
Well, the guy up there said they were showing off one playstyle, which he called "Modern Sonic." Because Classic is in, it's safe to assume the next playstyle is classic. He also said that it's "Sonic vs Eggman." so... Modern, Classic and Eggman.
There are two sides in this game, good and evil. I doubt Sonic Team is going to make a new, fast character, but it isn't outside their retardation. So, Evil Modern might be Shadow... although it doesn't fit with his G.U.N. Gimmick. It would be a shame to see some donut come in for this.
The new character is likely the classic counterpart.
Who fills Eggman for the good side though? Tails?
Zachary King
Remember that theme that played is an instrumental. I wonder who will sing.
Ethan Roberts
>Tfw you are probably the only one who wanted them to keep the sonic lost world gameplay style and just reinvent and expand on it tremendously for the new game.
Elijah Bell
can't flimflam the eggman
Nathan Carter
>just
Try a fucking week ago, user.
James Hill
OFFICIAL TWITCH IS LIVE
Ian Phillips
>might be Are.
>Hero and Dark stories Only the elements of Hero and Dark. Nothing about separate campaigns, yet.
Jordan Taylor
This. Unsure about vocals over an Ohtani song like this.
Levi Bell
Friends are back, but not known if they're playable.
Robert Cox
>I wonder who that will be? Hmmmm...
cheeky cunt
Juan Smith
Just a bit
Nathan Rodriguez
I really wanted playable hanger-ons/"friends", but shit, I'm still hyped
Zachary Green
I'm still waiting for a super refined Sonic Adventure style gameplay.
I mean the controls in the actual games is broken as fuck but the concept is solid. actually feels like you're controlling a fast character rather than a car or something.
Colors wasn't powered by the hedgehog engine, was it? Sergiooo
Cooper Harris
Sonic Triforces
Justin Nguyen
So fucking anime.
Leo Morgan
I liked Sonic Heroes
Robert Lee
>Sonic Forces is a game where Sonic Fails WHO /EGGMANEMPIREGENERAL/ HERE
Jeremiah Wood
kek
Wyatt Allen
>Sonic loses >Friends shoved down our throat again Eugh
Nathan Edwards
Classic Tails isn't a new character. The only other new Classic characters could be Classic Knuckles or Classic Amy.
Andrew Long
Higher quality version just posted on the official Twitch channel.
Christian Hughes
Well this is basically consistent with what they have been doing for the past couple years. A team makes these kinds of game, and B teams makes the more experimental type games. Its fine IMO. Just don't put the B team on mainline titles, but I guess that doesn't matter because unless its godlike people are gonna shit on a Sonic game thats different anyway.
Liam Campbell
>Eggman won This has not been confirmed. All we know is he has been destroying a lot
Alexander Turner
Have they said any specific characters there or just Sonic's friends?
Angel Ortiz
you're goddamned right
DAS THA BOI
Levi Evans
Is Sergio playing the Heroes PC port?
Evan Myers
All that was said was "Sonic and Friends vs Eggman and his Army" or something along those lines.
Aaron Robinson
Just Sonic's friends. So you can expect Tails, Knuckles, Amy & probably others.
Also people may be upset about Boost coming back but honestly, this is something people have been wanting SEGA to do with Sonic. Find a 3D gameplay style, stick with it & improve on it with each release, instead of just scrapping the gameplay for another style that'll last one game. If Boost is improved upon, then I'm fine with it coming back.
Parker Reyes
>technical issues on the official Twitch stream Jeez, Sega can't have a break with streams.
Easton Butler
Pollock did a little intro to Forces talking about a world in which Sonic had finally failed, so we can assume Eggman has taken shit over at the start,
Tyler Brooks
...
Leo Diaz
Most fans don't care either way. Most are more excited for mania
Aiden Hughes
Just finished mine.
Caleb Taylor
Sonic Forces Memes begin when Sonic Forces Forces its way into existance.
Carson Thomas
We actually don't know anything but ok.
Isaac Powell
I'm not really bothered by boost but it depends what the other two styles are. We can assume one will be classic, so it depends on the third.
Kevin Allen
I saw a lot of hype in both chats when gameplay was shown. /sthg/ doesn't speak for everyone.
