What do you guys think: Will Forces be Generations 2, Sonic 06 2, or some sick awful mixture of both?

I just got home from work, so allow me Holy shit, that thing looks like one of the awful discarded Shadow prototypes. God fucking dammit.
From the look of things I'm not looking forward how they'll fuck over everyone's characterization.
Landon Morris
What are we going to do for 800?
Samuel Kelly
How are they fucking everyone's characterizations?

Josiah Diaz
Sonic is about a blue character who beats up an evil scientist who specialises in robotics. The blue character has a lot of friends, a lot of them used to be bad, and a red character who often comes to blows but is essentially good, even if the scientist knows how to get him to play bad.
The world is often put in to trouble but due to circumstances the scientist comes up with another plan. Time travelling beings come from the future to unfuck things, but the status quo goes on.
This is the essence of a Sonic comic. From this we can gather that Mega Man is a better Sonic comic/
Lucas Brooks
See that in the new bad guy's chest? It's an 8th chaos emerald. The bad guy is named Infinite/Infinity and that's why the 8 at the end changes into the infinity symbol

It looks as if they just threw a bunch of bad guys together regardless of who they are. It's gonna be a forced clusterfuck of things that will not work. I think something similar may happen on the hero side.

>It looks as if they just threw a bunch of bad guys together regardless of who they are We barely even know why they're together. Far too early to say that it's thrown together, when we still lack the proper context.

>Homing attacks and boosting are just mini chaos controls used to alter momentum >White wisps have hyper-go-on (chaos) energy that let's this happen, other wisps grant other abilities also using chaos energy >New bad guy has merged with/is the 8th chaos emerald >That's why he has wisp powers If this happens, I'm taking my switch and the game to the range and I'm gonna fucking shoot it.

Nathaniel Anderson
Infinite is probably an evil Wisp in a robot suit. That's probably why he only has one eye shown.
Brandon Rodriguez
Per anons request from last thread.
What if new Infinite villan is Merlina from Black Knight? Pic related.
Never played BK so more expert anons can weigh in here. Still think yellow eye is a hint regardless. Boots maybe?
Christian Smith
Repostan
That was pathetically short. I'm guessing instead of one big act they're going for lots of smaller acts like Colors and Lost World did. But for Act 1, that was VERY short. I agree, boosting seems really underwhelming here specifically in 2D. It doesn't seem to reach anywhere near the speeds of Generations.
Jaxon Torres
But it isnt
Gabriel Jenkins
wasn't Merlina the real villain of Black Knight?
Also if Shadow's there than I guess Rouge and Knuckles as well. Anyone who's fought Sonic outside of the fighting games.
Hunter Taylor
Megaman is the better sonic comic
Zachary Collins
Even if it's not as fast as it was in Gens, that's not really a problem for me. It's still fast enough & it looks really smooth.
Ian Cook
>This new villain
Owen Reyes
Sonic's gonna kill Shadow.
Henry Kelly
>you can't be excited for Sonic games unless you're Aaron
James Sanchez
What if with Zavok, the entire Deadly Six returns? And, with that... what if Shadow's not alone? What if... with Shadow, Rouge and Omega have also been turned into Eggman's lackies?
Elijah Evans
Come on user, if you can't even tell what first-tier viral marketing looks like, you're doomed.

Benjamin Rodriguez
I... hate to be this guy, but can you really imagine a scenario that would be interesting and well thought out, and would work in this case and for these characters, and not play against them? And even if there was one, would it be likely for Sega to have been able to come up with it? Given the previous stories we've had, I believe it will just boil down to a boring plot device that will be poorly thought out and boring as hell, with the characters suffering as a result.
I guess its up to you to decide at which point you say enough. Given their track record and the path they've shown to have taken for the game, I'm rather upset.

If you found Buddy all tied up what would you do? Would you take advantage of him?
Juan Price
I'd put a bullet in his head out of mercy for him and for me
Carson Martin
I would untie him and ask him to be my friend because buddies are for friendship :)
Cameron Green
Given how SEGA/Sonic Team has a tendency to be unpredictable at times, I'm choosing to wait & see what happens before deciding.
Blake White
I just realized the grinding section of Sonic's act is a lot similar to what we saw of the Park Avenue Hero act.
Robert Kelly
What did Shadow and Omega do with Metal Sonic?
Lucas Johnson
we need more
Xavier Myers
What if Infinite is like an evil 'Custom Character' that, rather than join Sonic, wanted to join Eggman? Rather than JUST some "ancient evil force" that Eggman awakens, what if their purpose first and foremost is serving Eggman?
And, what if, they act like a Rival for the Custom Hero?
Joshua Barnes
Untie him.
Connor Harris
Nothing, cause he was never seen again. Fucking nothing came out of that scence, got damn.
Juan Gray
I do hope Infinite is just another created character who didn't join the resistance because they were too edgy for it.
Luis Perry
Blaze is Infinite.
Sebastian Cooper
I don't think that has ever been quoted as a positive thing. but, as I said, suit yourself.
Joshua Foster
I see, but you know I can't let you live. You're adventuring days are coming to an end.
Cooper Ortiz
>can you really imagine a scenario that would be interesting and well thought out, and would work in this case and for these characters, and not play against them? All four of them have begrudgingly teamed up and are mad at Sonic because he was unable to keep Eggman and his new friend from conquering the world. Metal Sonic is there out of revenge, because Eggman tossed him aside after he upgraded his forces. Part of the plot involves convincing The Edgy Four to join your forces, which is done by beating enough levels to convince them that you're not useless this time, but even when they do they make it clear they're only teaming up temporarily to defeat a greater evil.
There, a quick summery pulled from my ass in two minutes that makes sense and is consistent with all of their respective characters.
Andrew Garcia
Not saying it's a positive, but it just means to me that you can never really say for sure what they're gonna do.

I recognize this build. It's Tree Spy without a tree.

>Infinite causes a Genesis effect where Sonic was never born and Eggman hadn't done most of his schemes yet >Chaos/Shadow were never freed, Metal was never built and the Deadly Six never met him >unleashes all of them at once >none of Sonic's friends actually remember him, he's just a new guy who turns the tide of the war I'd buy it.
Zachary Thomas
youtube.com/watch?v=NbASYe68UWU First footage of Switch version, also shows Espio is in the game. apparently its 720p 60fps undocked and 1080p 60 docked
Nathaniel Perez
Tikal is always boner fuel, especially if it's a cute cosplayer like this one.
Wyatt Cooper
>7 minutes of Gameplay >plays twice the Modern stage >plays it exactly the same.
Jonathan Miller
>Buddy is the main hero and leader of the resistance in this timeline >story involves retconning him >end of the game has a cutscene where Sonic walks up to some random dude working a dead-end job selling chili dogs in Spagonia or something like that, and it's main timeline Buddy
Austin Richardson
He's called "rookie" in gameplay, so nope.
Eli Walker
Love how Knuckles calls your character rookie, like your character was named in the Ghostbusters game.
Joseph Adams
Kinda cool having them talk to you, wish it didn't take up so much screen space though. Other info is that Sega claims this isn't a final build on Switch or any systems so far, since someone reported a bug on the Switch demo that would turn off the hub and would make the level un finish able another weird bug was that in the Egg Dragoon boss he would just sit there and laugh and not attack again preventing you from beating it.
David Turner
God, these tits.
Xavier Rodriguez
>that audio mixing I like the Buddy's male voice, by the way.
Robert Rivera
We're still going to call him "Buddy".
Henry Anderson

You could hook it up to your tv, but a lot of people during the 3DS era wanted a 3D boost Sonic on the go and we finally have one.

Cringing at the cheerleading going on. But it looks ok.
