Have we gotten an orb maze redux yet? I know we've gotten retakes on sonic 1's jewel maze and 2's half pipe but I don't remember any new orb content. 3D Blast's sky walkways never got any love either, but that's more understandable.

They could ALSO try actually doing something new but like that's ever gonna happen.

Sonic Colors is probably unironically the very best 3D Sonic game. Colors and Black Knight had potential but suffered a ton for being Wiimote waggle designed. It's not as bad as it sounds though it probably means it'll be cheesy as hell.

I know a lot of people here liked Colors but I did not at all.

1.5 seconds of Sonic Forces Classic Sonic gameplay in the new nintendo direct.

We see the level Green Hill but with sand in the background. Sonic also does the first half of the Sonic CD spring animation, but I think it cuts before we see if it does the second part where Sonic glares into the camera.

I'm really bored of Green Hill. gently caress Green Hill.

Also I thought the 3rd Sonic thing was just a crazy fan theory? I'm not confident about that at all. Hope to be proved wrong though. We getting pensioner Sonic? He can attack enemies with his cane like Cranky in Donkey Kong Returns.

Just by the nature of the series any given sonic team staff member probably worked on a good number of bad ones.

He just transitions straight into running.

I'm not getting a good vibe from Forces. No way Mania won't be good though. I won't hear it.

I think I'll like Forces, it'll basically just be Generations 2 as far as gameplay goes and haven't we been asking for that for years?

I've always liked alternate futures where the bad guy actually wins so this taking place where Robotnik actually owns the earth is awesome for me. I don't like the title of the game though. Not at all.

Hey, I for real figured out who the third character is.

It's Sonic from the upcoming live action movie.

I know it's not but if the new 3rd playable character WAS Bubsy, I would flip my goddamn lid.

Sonic Colors would be better if "2d sonic" meant Genesis sonic and not watered down flat. Even Mario levels aren't so flat.

Every time I read this thread I go fire off a level of Sonic 2 or S3&K and I'm always amazed at how much I haven't seen and how many routes there are.

That's also why I'm getting more and more hyped for mania.

I'm hoping character three is an animal even more ridiculous than the ones we already have. I'm holding out for a pangolin or a jerboa or something, it's hard to out-weird an echidna.

You mean like the 'Leather' costumes that were in Rivals? Maybe he could have another alternate costume from that game and dress up like a Furry Cheetah.
