Sonic Forces/Project 2017 Thread

Gameplay trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=_Zm0FvEn5CU

Discussion on sonic mania also welcome.

Sonic utopia fags not welcome. It's an autistic open world piece of shit that only autistic retrofags think is worthy of anything.

>push forward roller coaster game

Boostfags will defend this

>they spent all their time on explosions and visuals and forgot to put any level design in
good job

>its le so easy it plays itself xD
>only 5% of players can beat the first level with this very easy time limit

It's fun.

I love Utopia, but at this point I agree with OP. The time to discuss fangames has come and gone. We finally have a new, official, Modern Sonic game to discuss.

With that said:
>mfw Mania's ending transitions into the beginning of Forces', explaining why Classic Sonic is there, giving an in-universe explanation for why they're doubling down on Classic this time around.

at least in the boost games you actually had to make decisions quickly, and react quickly to obstacles, and you actually WENT LEGITIMATELY FAST unlike the Adventure games

Why do they even give Sonic a walk animation? It look so bad. And who wants to walk as Sonic anyways?! Make the gameplay as fast as possible. Just go all out. Speed is life.

Fun? How could you POSSIBLY have fun by running in a hallway?

Finished with those errands?

The Sonic World fangame is a better Sonic game than this garbage

sonicworldfangame.com/

No. No more fangames.

Looks like shit

Sorry autist. Sonic Team knows whats best for the series. Your crappy but dedicated fan projects will never get attention besides autists who use 16 hours of their day googling Sonic related things.

Bet you like quick time events don't you buddy?

>Sonic Team knows what's best for the series

Don't judge it till you play it

Fans actually do it better than Sonic Team lately

>open world piece of shit that only autistic retrofags think is worthy of anything
Retrofag here. Why the fuck would I want an open world Sonic game?

So you want Sonic to be T.E.C. 3001

>Sonic utopia fags not welcome. It's an autistic open world
Not really. It's not open world.
I also had a lot of fun with the demo, can't wait to see what the dev does next.

>implying the dev isnt done
It always ends up like this, one shitty tech demo and then the dev doesnt want to finish the project

Is actually one of the projects in constant development and has been for 3-4 years now

They won't do anything with it just like every other fucking fan dev hasn't done anything.

Utopia isn't the first 3D Sonic game with physics, and it's not even the last one. There was another that came right after it but got nowhere near the same level of exposure because it didn't pander to nostalgia fags.

Sonic's eyelids are not hairy.

This looks like another boring Hold Boost to Win level.

He's still tweeting about it. Hard at work, it seems.

You mean Green Hill Paradise? That came way before and made a good amount of progress, it didn't use such in-depth physics or elegant controls, but it was also pretty good and fun on its own. I think the dev did stop though.

It is, fuck sonic team. Fans make better games.

Green hill paradise was shit, and lacked content. It was literally 1 fucking level that got more praise than it should have.

No. It wasn't GHP. It's Damizean's new engine

The challenge acts and eggman land were something else

It was 2.

HedgePhysics? That project began in like 2008, it started by using the original incarnation of Sonic just like Utopia, and it continues to. How is Utopia "nostalgia pandering" and not HedgePhysics?

You mean the hot dog challenges? Dude those will put hair on your balls. The werehog survival ones were hard as fuck. And the time trial ones made me realize you can skip a lot of enemies

Hot dog challenges were great

I feel autistic after watching him run.

I want to turn off my computer and hide under my covers in embarrassment. Even though I do that for mostly everything already.

They'll never let the Boost gameplay stand on it's own two feet, will they? First it was the Werehog, then it was Wisps, then it was Classic Sonic, and now it's Classic Sonic + mystery third gameplay style. I like Classic Sonic and all but we already have Sonic Mania; we didn't need a second Generations. Sega has already proven they can do interesting things with the Boost-2-Win formula, so why do they insist on diluting it?

I want it to be Ballistics

Where you go so fast it starts looking like it's going backwards

Classic Sonic will be open-ended physics-based 3D platforming this time.

I think so. Whichever ones were modded into generations. They require you to git gud at a certain move like drifting

Yo that'd be hyped

Damizean's engine is outdated, Nibroc and Ozcrash have engineered it into something better. Sonic World is a long project that is basically a complete recode of the blitz engine that makes the gameplay resemble Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes more than any other engine. It balances the physics and works out most of the problems with blitzsonic.

>>mfw Mania's ending transitions into the beginning of Forces', explaining why Classic Sonic is there, giving an in-universe explanation for why they're doubling down on Classic this time around.
I wouldn't like that, I'd rather Mania stays its own thing seperate from Modern Sonic. They can explain why Sonic is with Modern Sonic in the beginning of Forces.

I dont follow the PC modding scene, no idea man. I know you mean mazuri act 2 though. Its hard but possible, I've done it a few times

Sonic World is kind of janky, like Adventure, but it's full of bells and whistles, it's a ton of fun to mess around with.

>Classic Sonic in 3D
>they gave him the Homing Attack last game
>mfw they turn Classic Sonic into Adventure Sonic

There's no way it will look this good on the Switch.

nah but I like the old Sonic games which also made you think on your toes while you were fasting.

i doubt it will look that good at all.
it's a bullshot user

It looks good but at the same time it feels like they took the Lost World art style and then tried to make some cityscapes with it. It looks sharp but off at the same time. Kind of disappointed that Unleashed is still the best looking Sonic game with no end in sight 2bh

If you it it doesn't look that great at all

720p with reduced background geometry and textures, ezpz

>Mania ends with Classic Sonic teleporting into Sonic Forces
>werehog-like transformation of Classic Sonic becoming Dreamcast Sonic
>limbs stretch, loses weight
>pupils shrink revealing green iris
>smirks "heh, feelin' MUCH better now"
>modern Sonic remarks about how much cooler he is now

>Classic Sonic is never seen ever again

It was either that or one of the Holoska acts. I haven't played Unleashed outside of a demo and generations mods, but hear good things. It's OST is one of my favorites in the series

It's not really the type of game where you stop and look at how complex the geometry is

How is this any different than Generations? I don't get why this is impressive/different

Ah yes.
Now I know what everyone wants.
They clearly want a Sonic Lost World 2 right?

No they want Boom 3

It honestly doesn't look good enough to be a bullshot. Definitely no reason for it to not look like this on PC.

IT WAS ALL A MEME
I USED TO READ 1 - UP MAGAZINE
SUPA NINTENDO
SEGA GENESIS

Oh shit. Of course they do!

Sonic 3D Blast 2. I have waited 21 years for this shit.

Oh yeah thats holoska day act 4, one of the DLC acts, another drift only stage. That one is hard as fuck because of the ice physics. I would honestly say that is the hardest level in the game to S rank. Its the only level I never S ranked, it taunts me with the A

>worse visuals than Unleashed, an almost decade-old game
>music sounds like a clumsy anime buttrock theme
>boost-to-win gameplay

-Where's my fucking Sonic Shuffle 2?
-Where's my Sonic Adventure 3?
-Where in the absolute fuck is my Sonic R 2?

>Sonic Shuffle 2
hudson is dead

There was some serious black magic and wizard tier TECHNOLOGY into making unleashed look as good as it does. The shading and lighting is so perfectly done, everything in the game looks like it could be on one of those travelling postcards. Maybe that was the point, really makes me think

Where's my Chao Garden game?

Sonic R 2 would actually be alright, maybe Mania Team could make that.

Where's my Big's Big Fishing Adventure 4?

It was too good for its own good. They removed visual effects from generations supposedly so it would run better on consoles

>ON RAILS 2017

still?

>let the team that is making a 2d platform game to develop a 3d racing game

they probably have it, but still you're asking a bit too much

But outside of a few parts in adabat it runs fine

Well, unless youre on the CuckS3

Christian Whitehead describes himself as "friend to pixels and polys alike"
Making a 3D game is very unlikely to be beyond their realm of ability.

>No Modern Sonic,Tails and Knuckles game ever

I was thinking of PS3 yeah. Forgot how much better xbox360 was for multiplats.

To be fair, they had to bastardize the resolution to pull it off. Sonic forces looks pretty crisp though. Although that might be because we're seeing the PC version.

Because... We're Sonic Heroes!

WHERE'S MY SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG 2 I NEED MORE EDGE IN ME LIFE AHH ;(((

>They dumbed down the 3D segments in Sonic Colors
>Everyone praises Sonic Colors for its 2D segments (despite it also being garbage)
>Model future boost games after Colors shitty level design
>You will never get a return to Unleashed's 3D segments with refined controls
>You will never drift around corners and run up walls while short hopping out of danger

youtube.com/watch?v=tvNY-7Reo5E

Boost formula evolved in the wrong direction.

>those light rays

muh
dick

I'm talking about Boost gameplay here, not "basically Sonic Adventure 3"

Now you know the suffering of an adventurefag...

It just keeps getting worse and worse and worse with every single new game. The adventure formula is almost completely fucking dead.

I'd kill for a Sonic Heroes 2. Or something equal.

I'd kill for a sonic heroes 2 with no shitty plastic characters, slippery physics and the ability to play levels solo

How would you implement Tails' flight gameplay style and Knuckles' gliding/climbing gameplay style in semi-automated superfast hallway games?

Thank god. Adventure games were shit.

This game is sick

Whats wrong with the resolution? If its one of those weird 520p but upscaled to 720p and beyond it looks fine. On bigger setpieces you see things in the background blur a bit, usually in empire city and spagonia. Every part in chun nan, apotos, and holoska looked sublime though. Mazuri night, i dont know...seems unfinished or reduced in some ways. In the comfy building areas it looks good but the savannah outback looks very sparse

>There will never be a Boost formula game with the exploration of Sonic Generations and the tight controls of Sonic Unleashed

>You will never get a return to Unleashed's 3D segments with refined controls
Unleashed's controls were shit dude. Try platforming with normal Sonic in that game.

HAHAHAH MOM I POSTED IT AGAIN

Works good to me. You need a bit of a running start when you jump so you can jump further away kind of like...whoa my almonds are activated

>Unleashed's controls were shit dude. Try platforming with normal Sonic in that game.

Nice reading comprehension my lad. Let me spell it out for you.

>Unleashed's 3D segments with refined controls
>with refined controls
>refined controls

...

sonic mania looks more fun

Give Tails more aerial options than Sonic for going fast, at the cost of ground options on the ground. Design levels to take advantage of these differences, like in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. As for Knuckles himself... uhhh... emerald hunting?

Sonic is so fucking dumb. Whatever about it worked in the 90s doesn't work now or anytime else.

>Sonic The Hedgehog was the fastest game ever made in early nineties
>the "fast as fuck" concept is not going to work today, in where we all want 60fps games

Get lynched.

>t. mariofag

BING BING WAHOOO WA WA WAH

Is Sonic /ourhog/?

Why don't just make a 2.5D game?

3D was a mistake.

2.5D is the most hideous possible thing

I fucking hate you please die a fiery burning death. 2.5D is the worst cancer to have ever been concieved in the history of the sonic franchise.


Why in the actual fuck would you give up beautiful 2D sprites for 3D backgrounds that you cant even explore? THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF 3D IS TO EXPLORE YOU FUCKING MORON. ITS A WASTE TO MAKE 2.5D GAMES.
