Personally, I can't say I like create-a-characters in games like FE 12 to 14 and Xenoblade X, but I personally don't hate them enough to be turned off by those games. So I feel like I wouldn't think much of it in Forces.... I listened to the BSC discussion of it yesterday, and I kind of agree with what Lewis was saying that the gameplay looks like what Generations was doing with the skill shop system, but more focus is going towards it. And from the little gameplay that was shown, it looks decent in my opinion. I was just about to Link that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 On 5/17/2017 at 3:20 AM, SecondWorld said: Wolf – Automatically draws in rings when near them Rabbit – Has longer invincible time after receiving damage Cat – Keeps one ring after being hit Dog – Restarts with five rings after the player dies Bear – Blows away enemies with a homing attack Bird – Flies high with double jump abilities Hedgehog – Collects rings when getting damaged From the looks of the custom character species traits. If you're a true Sonic pro, only Bird and Bear matter for you. Getting hit/killed is for the less experienced. Wolf may have some utility if you really need to collect rings for some reason. If non Bird/Bear characters lack a double jump and or homing attack completely, then this may seriously affect level design. BB might break stages at certain points, or their abilities might be very weak and very unneeded. It'll take conscious effort to avoid either extreme.

Thats why the gadgets exist I assume so you can take routes that you'd usually need a homing attack for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who even made a cameo in Generations is a thing. If you count the Comics at all theres Lupe. (Yeah i'm aware you said canon universe now haha).

Also, I kind of miss a Sonic the Fighters 2. That game was fun. So were the Sonic racing games. Sonic R was crappy (but I loved it as a kid), but the general idea is good, they could make something better with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Wolf lands from the grapple point in front of the badniks along the giant "stairs", you can see him grappling directly onto two of them (and destroying them), so presumably you'll still have access to a form of the Homing Attack for enemy-based platforming, it just won't maintain momentum as a traditional Homing Attack would. From the information available so far, what animal do you think you'll make first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd buy it now but I'll wait a bit until next month. While not expensive here, it costs 32 bucks (which is still better than the "dollar = 2x my currency" ratio, but it still sucks) and I don't have much money right now.

Rapier Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'd shit bricks if they recycled a level from Sonic 3D Blast (aka that game no one cares about but that I really loved as a kid), like Diamond Dust, but I guess it's too late now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondworld Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Got some Gameplay here: So we got Egg Dragoon of all things being an early game boss and Sonic Colors-styled boost mechanics, which probably means no boosting all the time unless there are more boost wisps in levels than there were in Colors. Also Holiday release apparently, though I honestly don't remember if we already knew that or not, haha. And continuing the trend of late-game bosses being turned into early game bosses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkDestr0yer61 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The "hypeman" was a bit cringeworthy, but Forces is looking good so far imo. And of course Mania looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
