Daily reminder that Ken Penders did nothing wrong and is the true creator of Knuckles and is the savior of the Sonic series.

>3 minute song for a 15 second segment
Uh, Sonicbabs?
Fuck, that's cute
...
it happens a lot in this game. Mortar Canyon's music doesn't get good until like 2 minutes in but the stage is only a minute long. It was probably supposed to be longer. Same with Null Space. The beginning segment was probably supposed to be an entire level or cutscene.
the way his tail is drawn I thought that was his leg and he looked preyyyygnint
Uh, SEGA had to cut some corners Mario pls understand
pocky kissu
It would be a lot longer and have more of an impact if this happened instead

PLUMBERBOY MUSTACHE MAN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE HAS ARRIVED
Why would you share anything with Buddy when you can just take it from him instead?
already happened to her, sorry user
Buddy's not weak like Infinite.

>Music isn't even used
Is there any unlocks for getting all Silver Moons or Number Rings?
I just got all Red Rings and I'm glad thats over, I don't mind the other two sets because they're all clumped together in one place.
Also post your OCs
watching belena's productions scard stupid 3, it's not that interesting or funny.
the whole four year development time sounds crazy on paper until you realize three of those years were spent on the avatar and new hedgehog engine. In reality the levels were cobbled together in a year by three guys.
Forces probably should of been delayed another year but I'm sure Sega was getting impatient
I know it was short, but Mortar Canyon was one of my favourite levels.
>Using homing attack to navigate around the level
>Getting good at timing the air boost
>Finale is a road filled with enemies that's being carpet bombed
If it had Shadow's section of homing attacking moving projectiles then it would've been 10/10.
WATCH OUT, YOU'RE GONNA CRASH! AHH!

Jam with me /sthg/
It's going to be another 4 years until the next 3D Sonic. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself until then.
What is the wisp ability for the Drill wisp? You can't actually dig underground with it, can you?
...
>Is there any unlocks for getting all Silver Moons or Number Rings?
Just a trophy/achievement, IIRC.
Reposting in case you missed it last thread:
strawpoll.me
is there any interest in doing a /
Better yet, cut classic Sonic and have the game just be the Adventures of Buddy and Sonic. Just think a current Forces Sonic with a bit more care and slightly longer levels that aren't mostly automated.
Made my vote
hold the button to tunnel forward underground and up walls
>4 years
Not really, they already made the new hedgehog engine so a new game should be out by Q4 2019
user are you okay?
Saves me a ton of bullshit, thanks user.
All I need to do is the FAST times on the regular levels, god the Extra Stage 6 one sucked.

BEEP BEEP
Best Forces song coming through.
What could Sega possibly come up with after Forces? (Sans Adventure 3)
>Shogakukan Sonic
wait what? this thing actually looks cool, even if really weird.
Like there's a girl who transforms into Sonic?
oh wait he's not a girl? nice
I hope they don't scrap the engine, holy fuck. Imagine all that work gone. Not to mention that quite a lot of people enjoyed the game. Imagine if they polished it to Generations-shine.
4-year development time doesn't really sound crazy on paper, we're just used to getting 3D Sonic's every year or so because there's often been two teams working on Sonic. Now there isn't as there doesn't seem to be an A-team and B-team anymore.
>four mores of waiting
better not be. I expect a new sonic game in two years max. they have no excuse with having their precious hedgehog engine 2.
seriously why the fuck did they waste time on making the game pretty over it being polished fun?
Incoming transmission, they said that you need some clothes on
>not the null space version of fist bump
>or the third phase of the copypaste boss from colors/lost world
Generations 2
Generations 2 but they switch the textures at the last minute so we think it's a completely new game
It won't take 4 years unless they overhaul or make a new gameplay engine. I'm expecting the next game to probably be out in 2019.
They won't, hedgehog 2 is a graphics engine and Forces looks beautiful. Next game is going to use it even if the gameplay is different
SORRY user I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER ALL THE HEADBANGING I'M DOING
Okay user is this better
-Pure Modern Sonic game
-Forces 2 minus Classic Sonic with longer or more stages
-Game that isn't a running down a hallway sidestepping simulator mixed with a worse version of Sonic Rush
nice
So, how long until they release another trailer? How long does it typically take?
...Do you think they started something even BEFORE Forces was released?
If Mania's team sticks around we'll probably be getting Sonics every year-and-a-half to two years. One will be the classic 2D, the other will be experimental 3D.
Yeah, the credits sequence really drove home how beautiful some of the environments are. I never really noticed during my actual playthrough.
Only the parts with female vocals. And that isn't Mortar Canyon, btw
youtu.be
We'll probably get something late next year or early 2019
i think Forces is pretty fun.
What happened to him? Bullies shot him with paintball guns?
I kind of want Sonic to have fangs again
THE SUN IS FALLING IN THE SKY BEYOND
LIGHT IS FADING FROM OUR WORLD
THE SUN IS FALLING IN THE SKY BEYOND

This one is still better.

>the really obvious 'barely out of beta' alignment of rings or your quicksteps are seriously out of alignment with the logical path (most noticable against metal sonic)
>those incredibly shoddy jump physics where a lot of gaps CANNOT be cleared without a big run up, most notable in buddy stages
How am I finding this game fun
trailer for what
>strawpoll.me
Isn't Modern and SA2/Heroes nearly the same though?
Check it out:

It's basically an Aura too
Sonic Generations came out November 1, 2011
The first Lost World trailer came out May 28, 2013
Well, that's an improvement.
You still look fine either way
>seriously why the fuck did they waste time on making the game pretty over it being polished fun?
probably because they honestly thought the gameplay was perfect so they spent their remaining time polishing everything else. It really seems like they were proud of this game. This was supposed to be Modern Sonic's big comeback.
I don't mind sloppy seconds
I don't normally get invested in this kind of shit but no he's basically a drill instructor and he uses paintball versions of Wispons.to train other recruits
He's just sad a lot because the war sucks man
I got this guy too (expect more at a later date maybe?)
I'm not voting because I don't really care too much, but I think Adventure, Adventure 2 and Lost World look the best.
Why is there a message in the new game that says it's "blocking Reccording" but it doesn't blok recording? Is that for anti-livestream protection only or is it broken?
Was Rouge and Omega's radio chatter In VR Green Hill just Infinite fucking with Shadow? That was pretty rad, it was something I hoped the main game would have
Sonic 06's story confused the shit out of me for the longest time (The time travel bit, not the Mephiles-not-killing-Sonic-in-the-first-place, which still makes me confused), and I think I finally figured out what the writers were going for.
To me, there are two types of time-travel:
1: Predestined: Everything has happened and will happen, you're just a cog seeing out the past, and you can't change the future.
2: Tides of Time: Time traveling will create a new reality where your actions impact the future when you head back.
Originally the plot looked like it was doing predestined shit where Sonic, Shadow, and Silver (And companions) made the future happen, up until the final stages for all 3 of the characters. Sonic and Silver saw Eggman's ship blow up, and everyone said "Hey, shouldn't the flames of Iblis destroy the world?" because people interpreted it as Sonic and co. creating new timelines, rather than it all co-existing as one, big, played-out timeline. In reality, Sonic saw the ship blow up while simultaneously seeing himself run down and save Elise (Just not knowing it). This would explain why the world doesn't go to shit instantly, because Sonic and Silver had already time-traveled before it could. As for why Mephiles didn't kill Sonic until after fighting Shadow I have no fucking clue. Maybe he needed 2 Chaos Emeralds to do that infinity thing before being able to get close to Iblis or something?
Autistic rant over, pic unrelated.
Is it playable, without the bugs that is?
Reminder that Mortar Canyon is the best stage in forces
>Best music
>Wide and vertical stage design
>Multiple gimmicks and enemies present
>Multiple different routes
>No 2D sections
fuck me I can't wait any longer. It will've been 8 years since a good 3D Sonic game in 2019
>So, how long until they release another trailer? How long does it typically take?
Probably very late next year (there's always some event being held that Iizuka shows up to around December and hints at stuff) or anniversary time in 2019.
>...Do you think they started something even BEFORE Forces was released?
It's unknown, they've likely been experimenting and also keeping an eye on reception to Forces.
My unlikely hope/fantasy is that there was another team working on something mid-development and they'll have something to show off.
What about Lost World with a blue aura around? or a blue-purple-rainbow-ish aura
In every other game, the quickstep snaps you to certain lanes. In this game, quickstep just moves you a set distance right or left. So that's why the red rings seem out of alignment in the Metal Sonic fight, because there are no more lanes to snap you to.
All of it was basically Infinite fucking with him yes.
If the turning didn't suck huge piss clouds it wouldn't be a problem but it tends to be one a lot of other places
Reminder that this is the real best Forces song
Ah, okay. Still, nice drawings and cute characters!
06's story isn't that good, don't think too much about it.
>Sans Adventure 3
and it'll be even longer since the last good game if you rush them
Mortar Canyon was the first stage in the entire game that immediately after I beat it for the first time, I actually went and replayed it to just to have fun again. Seriously. Every other stage up until then felt like busy work. If every stage was like this and was twice as long, the game would have been decent. Not perfect, but definitely a 7+/10.
>actually thinking about 06s story
never go full clement
>no 2D sections
Wouldn't that make it the only boost Sonic level to not have any then? Well fuck, no wonder I enjoyed it.
all the songs without an overuse of synths are great. This one is my favorite but it's a shame it takes so long to get good and that good part is so short
>they made the stage where he has elise
what were they thinking
Thanks. This is the first time I've properly played one of your levels, and I'd like to say that it plays very nicely. Running over those hills while listening to the rapid clicking of Sonic's feet feels quite thrilling.
They're remaking 06, user.
*saved*
fast threads
The definitive Sonic 06 experience.
What's the point of have Super Sonic if you can do that without him?
That's probably what Sonic Team was thinking too. That's why he's last minute DLC
No wonder Sonic goes after the alternative Amy.
because boost sonic is fundamentally flawed and renders Super Sonic useless outside of final story cutscene bosses
The Avatar customization options should be moved to Sonic and friends in future titles. Does anyone else agree?
