there's no way this is real

>That fucking background
>Those random soldiers
Holy shit. At least the Chaotix and Omega are back.

I wish it wasn't

Get ready to experience the worst arc of naruto with your favorite sonic characters and OCs!

Wtf is with the weird purple people behind espio, they look creepy as fuck.

Maybe the LODs bugging out? unless sonic team is really so retarded to include characters that look like that

06 was the bottom of the barrel, I'm not saying this looks good but the series has seen worse.

The random civilians look worse than Sonic Boom's
this is a new level of bad

I could somewhat recognzie the voices for Knuckles and the evil looking animal. Sonic sounds weird as fuck with Jap voices though.

>blue alien*

fixed that for you

No because 06 exists.

How did we get from Unleashed to this? Does Sonic not get a decent budget anymore?

Is this still written by the Happy Tree Friends writer? The whole thing reeks of anime, and not the good kind.

He's involved in the localization but the story itself was written by one of the 06 writers.

Hey man, you gotta do something with that avatar creator.

They simply were not just going to invent this entire thing only for it to apply to one person that will be used in this one game, who most likely has the least screen and game time out the entire game, which will never again come into play for the rest of the series.

So why hire character designers

That explains a lot. 06's story in retrospect really sounds like something a sonic fanfic writer would make trying to add in drama and lore and all that.

But im still optimistic. They might be able to pull off some saturday morning cartoon cheesiness like they did with the adventure series and that's okay with me

Sonic buttrock used to be better. Its too punk these days

Izuka is a hack.

consider: he became producer AFTER Unleashed. And since then, it's been going downhill. Colors was just unleashed lite, with an interesting and fresh gimmick or two. but since then it's been either more boost, or more wisps, or both.

He was also producer of Sonic 4.

Sonic's been going downhill since he became producer.

It's the guy from 06 writing this one and he went full autismo grimdark edge anime mode.

We'd have gotten another charming adventure like colors or mania but apparently we need more shadows and 06s.

Ah. So Sonic Team has finally completley lost their minds.
Thank God for Mania.

But he was great when he was a director.

Generations shits on Unleashed

Were things really that much better with Naka in charge? I mean I would say yes, but I love Sonic Adventure - Shadow the Hedgehog.

>written by one of the 06 writers.
Why...why would they let that happen?
Where they unaware how much people hated 06's story and gameplay?

How do you think sonic team feels knowing they have been bested by fan developers with sonic mania? I bet it's eating them up inside

sega doesn't give a shit
and never will

To be fair I wouldn't think much, Mania is sticking close to established mechanics and aesthetics, while Forces is trying something new.

Toontown is back babyyy!

It's just a smaller game, maybe if the Mania team were doing something new with Sonic that would be a different story.

>while Forces is trying something new.
Only with the Avatar, the other two gameplay styles aren't new, one of them is trying to be reminiscent of the same classic games that mania was.

Yes. Because even though the games were a bit all over the place, they attempted to push their hardware and make sure they appealed to the classic and new fan. Offering a game that both looked good for the time, and attempted to show that it played good too.
Although the latter can be argued because of individual opinions. The fact still stands that much more work was put into designing the gameplay and levels than that of most at the time.
This right here is like a parody of what Sonic games should be

Why is everyone so lifeless in the cutscenes?

Japanese devs don't watch game grumps user

Copypasta models using Garry's Mod style tools.

It's always been like that, even adventure just had sonic stand still idling during cutscenes.

lol it really doesn't.

it was good, make no mistake, but there is plenty significant to complain about, and in general, it's hard to fuck up a "let's remake old stages" game. The base is already there.

But the biggest problem is lack of ambition with it. Classic Sonic is mute, which makes him almost a non-character that's hard to do much with next to the more talkative modern sonic, the hub world is sort of boring and bland, (and not just because if the whole out of time/space all white and grey thing) and generally, feels sort of pointless. Unleashed had much more interesting hub worlds. (in that they were actual hub worlds, not overglorified stage select menus)

the final boss is awful, and in general, it feels lacking in content. Especially for an anniversary game.

Has to do with how the pupils/eyes are animated. Sonic 2006 suffered considerably from the same issues. The pupils are just these oval-gems that just get glued there and rarely move. Most scenes are designed so every camera shot exclusively shows one action, as if the team is incapable of focusing on more than one event happening at the same time. Even watch shit like Tails' delayed reaction to Sonic being beaten; The entire scene has Tails in this statue-esque expression, Sonic crashes, two second delay, then suddenly Tails moves.

GIANT ENEMY CRAB

Reminder that he's related to Infinite and ends up dying in the end.

>dies
fantastic excuse to never bring this character back

Classic Sonic was supposed to be voiced by Jaleel White, but was left mute when that was not able to happen.

tssznews.com/2011/10/06/report-sega-considered-jaleel-white-to-voice-classic-sonic-in-generations/

Ryan Drummond was supposed to return as Adventure Sonic, but apparently was given a horrible contract and refused.

tssznews.com/2015/01/20/a-third-sonic-may-have-been-planned-for-generations/

>Force Drummond to leave his union
>Do promotion for free

Christ, was that meant to be a joke but Sega? Who in the right mind you accept something like that?

He loved being the Sonic voice, the only reason he was replaced was because 4Kids did recording in New York and didn't want to help him relocate.

Ryan Drummond was fucking amazing in Heroes.

Have their hands always been that big?

They should've tried to get the OVA guy.

You just heard it in your mind

>implying shadow didn't have deepest lore

>the chaos delegates belong to me sonic

>3D sonic fans

In fact this same contract negotiation failure may have come up earlier, as SEGA was interested in having him voice Sonic in Free Riders instead of RCS.

I've also heard he said he was willing to relocate to NY but 4kids didn't want union voice actors and went with nonunion

top meme

that face screams "what the fuck am i even doing in this game"

What's happening here?

>おまえはもうしんでいる

Classic Sonic wants to off himself, it's completely cystal clear.

...

Was Drummond going to be Adventure Sonic? I thought he was going to replace Jason Griffith as the voice of Modern Sonic.

>classic sonic got caught into this shitfest of a game

Yea but even adventure somehow managed to have more life than this despite that.

>those dead as fuck expressions
Holy fuck. Am I watching an MMD crossover collage off of nico nico douga, or am I playing Sonic Forces?

> (OP)
>Reminder that he's related to Infinite and ends up dying in the end.
Proof

ryan drummond really doesn't have many notable roles outside sonic

...

Is anyone actually looking forward to Forces? I was completely indifferent when it was first revealed, but every new bit of information progressively makes it look worse

So out of curiosity, how deep is the avatar creator? because every gameplay I see has this red lanky glasses wearing faggot running around.

I hope they actually went all out on it because if those background characters in OP's are any indication, it shows that its very bland and almost barebones.

I feel they need something more that breaks up that silhouette a bit. Maybe something that can deviate from that Tall skinny look. But that's just me.

These background characters look bland as shit compared to sonic Boom's background characters that all have rather pleasant looking designs

>lived long enough to see the Sonic Military come true

>Sonic Black Knight
>Additional Voices
That's fucking savage man

>compared to sonic Boom's background characters that all have rather pleasant looking designs

Sonic Boom's are just as awful, if not even worse

CC skin mod when?

well jason griffith was the voice actor for sonic at that point.

Holy shit i just fucking put two and two together. They're going full Coldsteel.

Any chance human X sonic character love will ever be a plot point in the games again? It's not just 06 that I am saying that either, because the concept has popped up a few times in the Sonic franchise in different iterations.

No user!
It's ironic! Please listen to me! Ahah that silly Sega.... Sonic is good... it's just being cheeky and cheesy... I'm not going to kill myself yet...

Infinite is stronger than the Sonic Military and in the final battle will beat Sonic.

omg just let this shit die already

I don't think you can really do anything except change the species face and throw on different accessories, it's gonna look stupid as fuck no matter what you do most likely.

Sonic's love interest in the OVA.

user, that specific picture looks a hell of a lot more appealing to me than Sonic Forces just look like they took spheres and added a random thing and gave it legs.
Just look at Joker's outfit in the game. It looks kinda terrible when in my mind atleast it should look okay

Madonna, Sonic's 1's initial concept included her as Sonic's girlfriend.

Is she the Tawna of Sonic?

Classic Sonic is so tacked on to this game the trailer barely remembers he's in it.

>OC trains at the Sonic Fighting Academy
>OC goes super mode and defeats Infinite

If the story had a tone like Adventure 1 or 2 with better localization I'm sure it'd be fine.

...

...

To be completely honest, I'm all up for Sonic getting some Sexy Human pussy just like all the other 90s cartoon characters (roger rabbits, mario, bugs, etc they all had humanlike girlfriends).

06 just gave it a bad reputation for having an art direction straight out of the uncanny valley.

You would think Sega would at least care enough to give the OCs that appear in cutscenes a half decent design, or at least a design that didn't accentuate the fact that each one has THE SAME EXACT HEAD SHAPE AND BODY TYPE

This. The reason Maria and Shadow's relationship flashbacks in SA2 felt so natural was partly aided by her looking like a straight-up anime character rather than the creepy mannequin Elise was 90% of the time.

The new game might just do it right. It is the same writer as 06 after-all.

The girl from 06 also happened to look like an autist whenever she was on screen instead of being sexy

Is there a reason why theyre going with a bunch of lazy OCs instead of going with a bunch of cartoony looking humans?

I may catch shit for this, but Unleashed had the perfect style for just this type of thing.

It was also aided by her being DEAD

He wasn't going to play "Adventure Sonic," he was going to take his role back from Griffith as the definitive Modern Sonic.

You realize 06 had 3 writers and the three stories were actually quite varied in terms of reception, with Shadow's being considered actually pretty good for his character and friendships, right?

Kinda, she never made it into any media, except in the form of Madonna Garnet in the (now dead) Aechie comics, who is basically just a blonde version of Topaz from Sonic X from what I have heard.

The CaC makes it easy to shit out some background NPCs for in-engine cutscenes. Buddy is also allegedly a random civilian that gets caught up in the action so making the other NPCs like like crap makes that more believable.

I think the new trailer looks great. It's obviously graphically shoddy in some areas, but that's to be somewhat expected of a $40 title that needs to be multiplat across platforms of wildly different capabilities (PS4, Xbone, & Switch).
