rekt
As long as it's not repetitive / overly obnoxious like the Time Eater boss fight, I can deal with it.
Christopher Long
This is what happens when people ask for these shitty fucking characters to return. At least in Generations they were only during the final boss
Austin Barnes
Hot and heavy
Jaxson Kelly
>sonic characters without gloves looking human like image ruined >Sauce? you can import plushies from aliexpress, usually the more you pay the better quality they are. But if youre really on a budget you can pick up ones for about £4. They sell silver shadow knuckles tails and sonic as far as I know which is pretty cool. They also sell sonic slippers if thats your thing.

Parker Hall

Yeah we'll see about that.
Nolan Allen
>Do you want to see us again. With that anatomy no not really.
Julian Butler
I'm just saiyan, I'm not the one of the guys making new threads to avoid it.
the link SHOULD be there but for some reason the site isn't loading for me.
Jeremiah James
>the horrible generations 2D physics are back >Eggman has temporary invincibility after you hit him >big ass life bar in the middle of the sceeen What a surprise, it's shit
Robert Jones
>Care to tell us a story, user? I had one when I was younger, one of those ones you could win as a prize at theme parks. They weren't really well made and fell apart over time.
Robert Ross
STOP posting faggot shit you degenerate subhumans.
Owen Ortiz
I'm glad I'm nit the only one finding it extremely underwhelming
Brandon Gonzalez
Really? They didn't fix momentum and rolling?
Liam Roberts

Matthew Sullivan
Holy shit, I never even noticed the lifebar. What the fuck?
David Green
The HUD takes up as much space as Eggman does
Nathan Torres
Said it last thread, this will hurt replayablilty if there's no way to turn them off. Especially since it's not just voices, but also takes up a chunk of the screen.
Just cancel Forces already, let Mania be the one game this year, and maybe in 2019 release a proper Generations 2 with new remixed levels and a plot similar to the first one, 2 playable sonics and nobody else, and with no friends screaming in your ear
And people wonder why it's a bad idea to let Sonic Team try new things or at the very least not stick to what worked from Generations. I really think the best thing to do now is just stay nostalgic for a few more years. Maybe do the Mania thing and have one or two new levels per game, but keep it nostalgic
Caleb Bennett
It's ironic really. Sonic team foeces in 2D gameplay for nostalgia pandering. The 2D gameplay is shallow and sucks. As a result, less time and resources is spent on the 3D gameplay The whole product suffers
Poetry
Grayson Miller
I fucking knew it. They really should have just focused on polishing up Modern Sonic's gameplay and ditch Buddy for friends, Classic Sonic will only exist to be a comparison to Mania which 90% of people will favor.
Austin Edwards
Oh wow, I didn't even notice the life bar.
Brandon Reed
I don't even care about "a proper generations 2", but forces CLEARLY needs more polish and time. It's nowhere near acceptable.
Benjamin Sullivan
We can try. You can count me in for fun.
Liam Jenkins
Or just ditched the other 2 playstyles completely and had Modern Sonic be the only playable one. And not have the friends talk during stages. That's all you needed to do
Mason Bailey

Easton Sanders
Why is that walrus so smug?
Isaiah Cooper
This.
Completely agree.
Henry Reyes
Are there vocals in Buddy's Green Hill Zone stage?
Josiah Rivera
Ask tails
Nathan Cook

Alexander Cooper
You're going too far now. I'm the OP and even i wouldn't post stuff THAT gay.
Jack Sullivan
Still waiting for the fix
Grayson Lee
I'm just saying, Blaze, Shadow, and Metal would work well, in Modern's gameplay. Starving Adventurefag reporting in.
Gavin Foster
AliExpress? Never heard of it. Might check it out.
Sorry to hear you couldn't save him.
Oooooh boy, this is gonna be fun. R-right guys?
Alexander Perez

Hudson Stewart
>that fucking life bar JUST
Ethan Roberts

Nolan Foster
>PEOPLE STILL THINK FORCES MIGHT BE GOOD
HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAA
Carter Stewart
Wow I don't know why I didn't notice that earlier.
Jaxson Gonzalez
You brought this on yourself.
Henry Turner
I doubt they would, and I doubt people would want that. If they do, there's always mods. Keep it to Sonic only for a while longer It's never gonna be good so long as it has 3 playstyles and all the dumb shit it has in it right now. Just scrap the whole thing and make Generations 2, just with Modern gameplay only
Christopher Murphy
This would be entirely in character for Sonic.
Juan Taylor
Fuck this troll OP and their gai-ass slash OP. I was going to make this image cover the next OP, so FUCK IT. I am dumping StC's until the thread hits 750 AND I'm baking the next bread. Post any new news links and buckle the fuck up Bitches. We're going into the Fleetway Sonic & Knuckles story arc -- white fucking hot.
Jordan Lopez
...
Dominic Williams
I've never played a Sonic game before, but I'm looking forward to the new ones. I hope I have fun!
Nolan Jones
Calm down fag. We're getting some Sonic info soon, so keep the OP related to that.
Isaac Thompson
This a gfur crop and tails is sucking his dick isnt he?
Ryan Collins
I hope you do too, user!
Nicholas Cox
Here we are gentlemen. Elson and Kitching are really hitting their stride at this point in the run. And Behold! As if to signify the gear shift, we no longer have the pineapple rear profile. Elson and the rest of the StC team shift to the "Shark Tail" rear profile from here on in -- or whatever you want to call it. As I've said before, I've always appreciated that Fleetway's use of actual game content, and the grabhands boss really fits the bill here. Isn't the computer character in Archie also encoded in a ring?
Parker Hall
>getting some Sonic info soon
I never though I would say this, but I really don't want anymore info.
Isaiah Cox
This. It reminds me a lot of resident evil 6 and Halo Reach. It'a over ambitious. Trying to do to much
Carson Brooks
>big arm Fuck yes
Logan Clark
No. Nicole is the A.I. trapped in her portable computer, she uses various rings as a power source in order to project a physical form, but the rings run out. She isn't encoded in any of them.
Anthony Smith
>mfw 5 years old >beat launch base >sky goes dark >that music
Intimidated the fuck outa me
Samuel Wilson

Cooper Smith
FUCK THIS HOMO SHIT
Jackson Bailey
No idea. It could range to various motives, such as enjoying on watching /sthg/ crashing for the 50th time. Calm down, it's just from Sonic comics.
Aaron Richardson
What the fuck? Hahahahahahahahahaha
Samuel Turner
Kek. Who did this?
Jaxson Edwards
Just saw the gameplay video. I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed. Not too much about Modern Sonic, he looks nice, but the characters talking nonstop and the "hurr chemical plant" reference are unbearable. Hopefully you can turn it off. The OC mode is the exact same shit I feared it would be. Boring as fuck 2D segments, and the high selling point, the customization, is minimal. Prepare yourself to see youtubers "hurr it's such a genius move Sonic was all about speed and OCs in da nintyz". Now we have Sega not only shitting on their Sonic fanbase, but also spreading rumors about them. Sonic Classic is Sonic 4 all over again, YAY REHASHES Should be renamed Sonic References
Austin Gray
Ha. That's pretty great.
Nolan Fisher
Forgot to mention the marble garden Tennelbot mini-boss also appeared on the page. And we finally switch to the offical design for the Death Egg instead of the older StC Egg Shape. (That said, Robotnik's base in the Special Zone remains ovaline) However, the one thing I will fault Elson for in these Death Egg arcs is that he tended, imho, to underscale the size of the Death Egg. It's only about as big as a Union class Dropship in a lot of these issues. A bit of a shame, but I suppose artistic compromises in different mediums are inevitable.
