Super Sonic is such old news these days.

Give my avatar a super form where he summons some gigantic mecha weapon and goes all METAL GEAR on poo poo.

Infinite will suffer the same fate, and then they will also give him a gun, possibly made from the Ruby, and also he will fight Mephiles in a sequel.

Shadow was also stupidly popular and a good part of his debut game

Speedy from Tails' Adventure and Fockewulf and Bearenger from Tails' Sky Patrol. Based on their comics' incarnations because gently caress else do I have to work with

I don't have the right costume parts to make a good version of the 3rd Witchcarter yet.

Yes, I'm fully aware of that.

But honestly, who else are you gonna call on to take the lead in a situation like this? Shadow is doing whatever, Tails is convinced he has to do something else, and Espio willingly plays second fiddle to Vector. You gonna put SILVER in charge of poo poo?

Sally Acorn.

I mean you're already basically copying the Freedom Fighters scenario, why the gently caress not?

Oh my loving god, I just checked how I was getting on with achievements, and it has only registered a grand total of 373 rings. :cry: You need 100,000 total for one of the achievements. I just finished a stage with 154 of the things!

Nodosaur
Dec 23, 2014

the achievement tracker isn't very accurate for the rings. It showed me a much lower ring total before I got the actual achievement for 10,000 later.

edit - heh. Nice nostalgic moment when Rouge says "do it to it" in Episode Shadow. Someone watched SatAM.

I thought 2006 basically resigned Silver to being the Waluigi of Sonic I.e. only in racers and poo poo.

Silver was in both Rivals, Colors (handheld version, came back to the past because he heard Eggmanland had mad rad roller coasters and poo poo and he had to get in on that), and Generations as a boss fight.

His role is that of a cameo character. Will appear in a couple games but generally will not be a key player in the plot.

Forces is the first game in a while to give most of the cast something to do.

He's also an unlockable character in all 3 Riders games plus the multiplayer modes of Secret Rings and Black Knight.

Amy too if you want to bring Sonic Boom into this. But yeah, this is the first time aside from Free Riders where the other characters have gotten more than a few lines of dialogue. They still haven't brought Big (who apparently is now voiced by Kamina from Gurren-Lagann) back yet aside from a cameo in Colors DS though.

To be honest I've never really minded the concept of multiple playable characters in a Sonic game all that much and actually wouldn't mind seeing Tails, Knuckles, etc. become controllable in a 3D game again.

It's not always handled that well admittedly but it does at least add a sense of variety to the game. Forces seemed to be testing the waters for doing that kind of stuff again with the additions of the Avatar and to a lesser extent Shadow.

Also, if they were going to bring Silver back they might as well have just thrown in Blaze while they were at it (Tails mentions that what Eggman's doing might be affecting other dimensions after all).

Blaze only crosses dimensions for important reasons, like the world ending and Sonic’s birthday.

The dialogue and general VA quality is a real step up over the complete pointless nothingness of Generations and Lost World's cutscenes, and if they can nail down a more coherent story next time then it may actually be a highlight of the game. It's particularly nice to see that not only has Omega not been forgotten about, but they've leaned hard into him just giving no fucks about anything besides destroying Eggman.

While I'm saying nice things about Forces, I'm enjoying Classic Sonic's controls a lot more now; the drop dash is possibly even more useful than in Mania, the spindash is much more sensible, rolling adds to your momentum and is actually useful on slopes and loops now and you seem to have more control over his momentum in mid-air, making general platforming a lot easier. Also I'm coming round to his music a bit more, Ghost Town is good and Iron Fortress is great.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


I would love for another Shadow the Hedgehog to be made, but only if it plays like a platinum game. A character action sonic game would be rad as gently caress and only Shadow has the edge for it.

He already has a cutscene where he takes his limiters off so we're like, 90% of the way there.

And honestly you wouldn't even need the gun-play or vehicles (nor should you ever), Shadow has enough natural abilities to make a game like that work.

As long as they kept things tongue in cheek another Shadow game probably wouldn't be that terrible (maybe even throw in some Rouge and Omega levels while you're at it). Shadow could have the traditional speed stages, Rouge could have more stealth based levels (and getting caught just means you have to fight your way out and possibly get a lower rank at the end of the level) and Omega could have Megaman-style run and gun type areas.

Classic Tails and Classic Eggman can speak normally if Generations is anything to go by, can't say for sure about the rest though.
