Sonic Forces: Moment of Truth Storytime

Been a long time since Sup Forums's had a Sonic comic storytime, hasn't it? Well, SEGA is doing a comic for their upcoming Sonic Forces game & I got it right here!

> the chaotix are important again

Holyshit.

Did the Archie team work on this?

Oh yeah, our favorite detectives are back

The writing is Ian Flynn's, & the art is done by one ABT

...

It's funny because this is how most fan characters would actually be like if they were in Sonics world.

Can't say SEGA isn't being accurate

...

>always want to see more of vector and espio
>can't without charmy tagging along too

Gotta admit, I'm loving how SEGA's portraying the fan characters here. I remember when OCs was first announced for Forces & people were afraid of them being mary sues

I AM THE TALLEST OF MOUNTAINS

Character art is great, backgrounds are lackluster on the other hand.

These images are like 2002 webcomic quality

I actually feel they're more stable and on-model than your usual Archie Sonic background

And thus, we've reached the final page! From what I've heard, this is gonna be a 4-part comic & Ian Flynn may be on Aaron Webber's stream later today to talk about it.

That's the price one must pay.

>Webber was hyping up this mediocre fluff piece yesterday

Man Sonic Team really doesn't have anything to show for Forces do they? Sega of America is having to work double-time to run damage control for this turd.

It feel like i'm reading à comics from the 2000's, when i was a sonic fan...

It feel...good.

Will there be mating?

Mate, they've been giving out news about the game every week. Hell, Sonic Team & SoJ did a concert to advertise this game.l

>Browsed the comic
>Not a single waifu

Don't waste your time, people.

user there as a pink cat in page 4

The game is shit so the marketing division is firing on all cylinders to try and make the game sell

Imagine SatAm, but based on Sonic Forces.

>No Amy
>No buy

Mate, I remember people actually getting mad at Aaron & SoA for barely releasing already released Mania OSTs instead of Forces tracks, while SoJ has been promoting it non-stop. What are you talking about?

Funny enough, one of the first things people said they wanted when Project 2017 was shown off was the Freedom Fighters, due tot he plot of the game.

its free tho

Without the eyelashes, you wouldn't even be able to tell that it's a girl.

Honestly I enjoy when comics do stuff like this, hell the Sonic Comics did stuff like this and I liked it.

Given that this is just the first part of a 4 issue miniseries, (which is totally free so you guys don't have to buy it only to get disappointed) I'm interested in seeing what the other stories are going to be about and who they might focus on.

Is Archie comics still making sonic comics I hears somewhere they stop

Promoting it how? Showing the same stages for over a year? The only new reveals we’ve gotten in the past month are Casino Forest and Chemical Plant, and we literally haven’t gotten anything else new

They stopped a long time ago.

In brief: Archie canceled the Sonic Comics
IDW Picked them back up
There were threads about this days ago so look them up in archive if you want.
This Comic was done by Sonic Team and Ian Flynn.

Anything I left out?

Is this a webcomic or physical?

Why does it look like I'm reading a comic version of Squirrel and Hedgehog?

Backgrounds are one of the few things I'd ding ABT for. Seems better than when he was on Archie though.

Doing interviews talking about the game & it's plot, the merchandise, showing off little things like Classic's spindash not being as OP as it was in Gens the music, the TGS trailer, the aforementioned TGS concert.

I say this as someone who's been annoyed with the advertising myself, but I'd be lying if I said SoA has done more to promote Forces than SoJ

This Comic is part of a 4- Issue, Mini Webcomic.
That will release (assumingly) on the weeks before Forces release

And yes, they are free to read/download.

Is Charmy a prince?

And here's your Waifu bait for the afternoon folks.

Only in a timeline that no longer exists.
And also in that timeline, he has brain damage.

At least Sonic Mania exists

>Finally get a Sonic game that tries it's hardest to be the Archie Sonic setting (IE resistance fighters against Eggman)
>Archie Sonic has been cancelled for basically a year
So this is what it sounds like when doves cry?

Calling it now; All "expanded" universe characters in the IDW universe are getting complete reimagines IE Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts are Eggman's elite force and actually threatening and the Freedom Fighters are now vigilantes.

Mean to add: I'm not fully slagging on SEGA of America either, as they have been the first ones to show off gameplay, but it's only been in the last few weeks they've been talking about Forces consistently. Also, I doubt this is a case of "the game sucks & everybody knows it & they're just trying to hide it!" as the trophies leak actually confirmed shit that people have been wanting to hear about the game. Not to mention that at its worst, Forces will be an okay game.

Lt. Vixen when?

That was a leak though, as in, stuff they wanted under wraps and not revealed.

>Freedom Fighters are now vigilantes.
As long as Nicole is there, I can dig it.

That's my point, user. The trophy leak showed off some shit that people was happy to hear, so it's not like things SEGA/ST are keeping under warps equals bad things. Hell, Shun wanted to show off far more of Forces in the TGS trailer, but SEGA told him to cut things out so it wouldn't spoil too much.

>and the Freedom Fighters are now vigilantes.
Isn't that what a "Freedom Fighter" is by proxy?

>Scratch and Grounder with competent writers
yes please

Fuck you Charmy is great

Yeah, but now instead of fighting an oppressive Robotnik, they're vigilantes who go around protecting the place Sonic lives in. Basically a more "serious" Chaotix.

Also Sally is now the daughter of a senator and has a "history" as Sonic's former girlfriend.

He is spineless.

He's a bee, of course he is

Why is e the size of lizards and rodents?

I think all four stories will go will a different character showing their stories as help for the heroes. A good way to build up the self insert theme for the game.

Why is the cat bigger than the crocodile?

Big is a mutant

I was thinking exactly this.

Huh, the only other time a primarily Sega product had animal bystanders was Sonic Rush Adventure. I wonder if the whole "Buddy" thing will result in animal NPCs for future games.

I'm down with this. It was always weird to me how the only other NPCs were humans.

I feel that the problem lied on SoJ. They wanted to keep info under wraps because they have the monopoly on what Forces news come out.

Unlike Mania, who could easily show off new songs, stages, etc due to being a western set of developers, SEGA's tweeter or any western PR needs to ask japan first before ever showing any Forces stuff and I feel that slowed down news too much.

tfw bought Mania and skipping out on Forces till hit hits bin price or has a Steam sale. Force fags on suicide watch

>Force fags on suicide watch
>Got Mania on Steam for free & will spend $40 on Forces on PS4
I'm doing fine, senpai

Couldn't you just pirate it?

>zoophile trying to act smug

Sad

Dogfags: striving to be bigger faggots by the day

*blocks your path*

Nice.

...

Path?
This nigga could block a bridge with hoe goddamn fat he is

You look better with a mustache

Ya know, when bees sting ya, their asses break off and they die.

Vector looks retarded without his headphones on.

Somewhere deep in the bowels of SEGA, someone is laughing maniacally.

Technically only one species of bee has that weakness.

Also we left realistic animal behavior way behind us.

I'm not sure if we'll see those three in a role any bigger than they had in the later Archie comics.
Orbot and Cubot fill their roles now, and they jive better with the current version of Eggman.
Scratch and Grounder were perfect foils to AoStH Robotnik, who seemed to always be on the verge of exploding in anger.

Omelette du fromage honhonhon

Ok I'm confused, where did this sudden hatred for Sonic Forces come from, the gameplay looks fine so what's the deal?

It kinda looks bland. I saw the Gameplay footage and it just looks boring

So what's his name guys?

Helmut

Tomb (of) the Unknown Soldier

Souja boy

It's really underwhelming after mania. All the scripted set pieces looks so much worse now that people were reminded of what an actual sonic game is like.
Also the story looks incredibly terrible. Not the biggest fan of colors and lost words' humor but they went so far into the other direction it's retarded.

but he's a cat

I like you.

>mentions the ascended damsel in distress Amy instead of the friendly rival hero Knuckles
Why is this writer so obsessed with Amy

Aww thanks

CD does it if you break those projectors in the past. In the video games just use the generic animals from the Genesis games.

Poppy O'Possum and Lily are in the first panel

>Morbi gives up on drawing more than six images a week and still misses deadlines.
>His art friend finds the time to put the characters in a hastily drawn promo comic.

The absolute state of Morbi right now

Some people don't like it, but I think it's a bit overblown. I liked Colors, Generations & the daytime stages in Unleashed & everything I've seen from Forces looks to be more of what I liked. The story & music is shaping well too

>Mentions best girl instead of dumb echidna
Based Ian

>Finally get a Sonic game that tries it's hardest to be the Archie Sonic setting
Soon you'll be able to see why this cannot work as a videogame, yeah

Wales the Cat
He caterwauls

That is a great song.

Granted what Sonic song isn't at least a 8/10

So it comes down to coming off at Mania?

I loved Mania, but I'm looking forward to Forces as naft as it is.

Classic Sonic was well recieved in Generations partially since Sonic 4 set the bar so low. I mean it's fun in its own right but it still pales in comparison to ye olde games.
