my face when I finally see that third tail
i watched all the cutscenes and when baby sonic came out of the portal they played the mania theme and it made me itch a little
anyway at the end of sonic generations classic sonic learns the homing attack from modern sonic, he goes through a portal to sonic 4 and can use it in that game
in sonic forces classic sonic shows up here from the end of mania and can use his drop dash from that game…but no homing attack
am i to believe that there are two separate classic sonics or are these sonics being taken from separate points on the timeline
does classic sonic still use “loadouts” as you could in sonic generations where having homing and drop dash would take too much xp
when will they finally publish the sonic historia so i can
i should honestly just make a 45 minute vid where i talk about the sonic timeline so i can have twenty adsense dollars
Do it for the completely baffled comments section who can’t tell if you’re joking.
I thought they ditched the timeline thing and just made it that Classic and Modern Sonic were brothers.
Or was that just a joke someone here made that I took seriously
apparently these shirts might be dlc? they’re in the files apparently
I’ve been hearing that the modern sonic level design is maybe not as great as generations (and the classic is inevitably not as great as mania), which is disappointing but honestly not that surprising, generations was kind of astonishingly good for 3D sonic (in that it had a bunch of really varied levels with actual interlocking paths that used the various mechanics to their fullest) and I didn’t think it ever got the credit it deserved. it was way better than unleashed or colours even imo. it still could’ve done with a little polishing or some designs that aren’t fundamentally just “greatest hits.”
generations was honestly good enough that i don’t particularly care what kind of 3d sonic game they make anymore
like mechanically that was basically the kinds of levels i wanted from sonic adventure so…fine
i woulda probably bought “more of that” with new levels but they did lost world instead so whatever
maybe i’ll get a craving for new 3d sonic in a few years
man you can tell from the extra challenges they were really interested in how the engine worked and what kinds of things you could do with it in a way almost like metal gear solid vr missions and that felt like a good starting point for new and interesting things but i guess not
when forces is in single digits i’m definitely getting it to make an oc especially with what the sonic modscene is gonna do with the clothes
from what i’ve seen and have been reading, even for me this seems like it sucks too much. sounds like they have easier, more janky Generations levels and from what i’ve seen of cutscenes, its not even that hilariously bad
i would still like to make an OC based on my dog at some point tho
Yeah, I watched someone stream this earlier and it looks pretty awful
gonna be interesting to watch this game which obviously had so many more man hours and budget thrown at it get somewhere around the same critical reception as bubsy 5 did this year lol
The streamer I was watching said they’d rather play Bubsy than the modern Sonic 2D segments in Forces
you know i really did 100% assume bubsy was gonna get a definitely higher metacritic than forces but unfortunately my analysis was based on black forest’s previous work on giana sisters
i had forces pegged 100% accurately but overestimated bubsy’s ability to be slightly better than mediocre instead of slightly worse than mediocre
but i guess we’ll know in a week or two for certain
Was Generations this bad and we all just liked it because it wasn’t AS bad as other Sonic games, or did they somehow manage to completely screw up following it up?
from what i’ve seen around the net, both people who liked and disliked generations seem to generally agree that the physics, momentum, controls, and level design are all worse than generations?
but anyway gameplay’s for squares we all know what’s really important
bubsy, sonic forces, and super lucky’s tale all coming out basically the same week? it’s a fucking weird mediocre platforming bounty over here 
I’m still not even sure why they made lost world rather than porting generations to the Wii U for launch unless they couldn’t even get it running on there (which is possible, it was CPU bound on the PS3 iirc)
