TBH, I feel like it would've been better to file the serial numbers off and make it "Chao-inspired", but I also don't think Sega will bother taking it down.

Chao Garden would make an excellent mobile game. I mean I still wouldn't like it, but for those that do, mobile would be the best platform for it.

But what I will enjoy is Sonic Forces, which will be out in just two short weeks.

Counterpoint: Chao Garden would be a good mobile game if I wasn't utterly convinced it would be Dungeon Keeper 2 Mobile levels of microtransactiony.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Even though we're all adults now, a couple times a year, you still gotta bust a move to Sonic just for old times sake.

Sonic Mania is getting a physical release, on Switch. Probably other consoles too.

Come with me if you want to not die.
I've made it through the Penders era of Sonic comics. I mean, I'm not up to the reboot event yet, but Ian Flynn is in charge now.

The comics have been... a heck of a roller coaster. There's some real good stuff in there, but there's also some real stinkers.

Also there's no taxman and stealth S3K :(

I've been kinda negative on Forces for awhile but I still had $5 on it just in case I decided to get it anyway and it had some preorder junk on it.

After playing the demo I canned it and got my 5er back. Holy poo poo that was awful, I don't know why I had any hope for this pile.

Sonic forces being bad isn't that shocking after all the footage and stuff but it's kind of impressive that sonic team managed to take a slam dunk idea like "sonic generations, but more of that" and cock it up somehow

Hey now, they did manage to add in an anti-frustration feature.

Unless it turns out Sonic forcing himself back into the center will eventually lead to frustration. Like if it fucks up his pathing or something at some point.

Sonic Forces feels like just another mediocre 3D Sonic but it runs a lot better and looks nicer than I expected on Switch. Maybe I’ll give it a go on sale.

If true it does explain a lot about the game (short levels, more simple design, etc). Team just straight up isn't used to making levels like generations.

No no the player is making Sonic dodge all those attacks.

It's just that...y'know he's too fast.

im still so pissed we only got two unleashed boost games (colors, half of unleashed and half of generations) and that they'll never again make something that good because sonic team is allergic to success and good games

i dont know what would be worse, if the rumor were true and sonic team really just handed their mainline sonic title to temple run ripoff people, or that they didnt and somehow completely screwed up making generations 2

That Auto-Centering is completely awful. I seriously hope that's some toggleable feature if it ends up messing with some specific speedrun strats.

Is there any confirmation on this? Quick checking around and I didn't find any news about that, and this is the kind of thing sounds like it'd get confused around with the actual Sonic Forces mobile game.


While hilarious, to be completely fair, there are tons upon tons of video games in the world in which this poo poo is normal.

I still remember the revelation I had when I realized that Road Rash 2 & 3 are muuuuch easier to play while drunk because your drunk brain realizes that it is just a straight corridor whereas your sober brain tries to weave with the road.
