THAT'S THE... DLC!! NOW I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, SEGA WANTS ME TO GET REPLACED! SO, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT DLC?! SAY SOMETHING YOU FAKE HEDGEHOG!!!
You guys now have have shadow but now you want shadow stages? bet you want it in a silver platter with a cherry on top so you can knock it to the side unimpressed.
@TNHGameRemixes [Nebula] you do realize he was making fun of a shadow quote where he says "Where's that damn fourth chaos emerald," right? I think you're the one that needs to calm down my dude.
5 things that is good about this DLC: 1· It's free. 2· Shadow's homing attack looks deadly af 3· Shadow is playable 4· Shadow is playable 5· Shadow is playable
Also, unlike the mod, Shadow's equivalent to Sonic Boost is being portrayed correctly, here. Many people don't get that his equivalent to Sonic Boost has him thrusting himself forewards through the use of his chaos powers, rather than just using his own skates. I don't even think his scates are actually designed to grant him the ability to boost like Sonic. (Yes, I know there's a version of the mod with the correct potrayal, but some people apprarently seem to prefer the version that of his boost that involves the use of his skates.)
Am I the only one who doesn't mind Kirk Thornton voicing Shadow? In my opinion, it was _kinda_ bad in Sonic Boom, but not awfully cringy. Then he did a better voice in LEGO Dimensions.
JesseRoxII I agree. Kirk definitely has potential for being an ideal voice of Shadow, although I do think the Jason Griffith Shadow was the best overall.
"A prequel to the main storyline of Sonic Forces, this add-on content explores Shadow's allegiance, the fate of Team Dark, and the origin of the mysterious villain, Infinite." *_Hold the fuck up. Are we getting some actual backstory in a Sonic game and potentially Sonic Heroes because it mentioned Team Dark?!_*
Well Team Dark wasn't just in Heroes, but I see what you mean. I believe Shadow was apart of the Resistance, and since Sonic was gone(maybe?), He faced up against Eggman and Infinite... then (the power of backstory), he parted ways from Team Dark and the resistance to join Eggman.
HEY PEOPLE! In the description, it says that this is a Work in Progress! This is also *one* of many levels. Just letting you know before you start complaining about it again...
I wonder if what has been shown to us since E3 has just been an older build and that things have improved so much since that build but SEGA is hiding it. Doubt it but just a thought.
+doxxed so does that make Sonic Mania redundant?..... I just don't understand if the game's good why does it matter if it's side-scrolling I'm not one of those blind fans who just accepts anything that they make but at the same time it just one gameplay of a level segment can we get a chance to get the whole game before judging it can the Hedgehog get a break not only people are giving him blind hate from his past failures and fans just can't be happy as usual no matter what the Hedgehog does he's always going to get shit even if the game is bad we always have Mania.
+doxxed and by the way this game is looking a lot like generations and that's not necessarily A Bad Thing even if it isn't a great game it's going to be a decent one I'm pretty sure this is going to be the last time we see Classic Sonic in a modern game hopefully and just separate Classic Sonic and modern Sonic.
+Generic Random Guy on the Internet hopefully the levels can look more lively like the first level we saw from modern Sonic's gameplay I agree that Greenhill looking level looks really blocky
dontoons122 but even if the 2D sections are blocky, this level design was also in Colors and as far as I know Colors was a great game with more 2D than 3D. Obviously the 2D sections in Unleashed and Generations were better but that doesn't mean the Colors 2D gameplay was bad. IMO
Japan: Here is an exciting Sonic Forces trailer Fans: Wasn't hyped for this game until this came out, but now I am US: Meh, here have Episode Shadow Fans: HOLY FUCK! YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEES! SHADOW IS BACK! Oh...... 2D sections
RazerHITBoy 1268 The Modern Sonic boost gameplay doesn't work well in 2D. Last time it worked well was Unleashed and occasionally Generations, where the camera was on a.slight angle just so you can see what's ahead so you can react, while the other times it can be a straight path then *BAM!* botomless pit with no warning or reaction time
Jack the Czech Sonic Fan THANK YOU!!! Finally someone who can see the same solution I can in hindsight you really don't have to boost it's optional to begin with and honestly when you think about it it's really not that different from the spindash
Jack the Czech Sonic Fan I can see where your getting at in fact I even enjoyed the spindash in the games for that reason but we also have to be reasonable about this situation as for level design I really don't want to get back on that subject
This is the first time in 11 years we've been able to play as one of Sonic's friends in a main series modern game. Think about that. Also, I love how they remembered his golden aura from SA2.
Third. Sonic 4 Episode 2: Tails, and Metal Sonic if you had episode 1 already. Sonic Mania: Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. Sonic Forces: Shadow. Although he's not really a friend here but we get what you mean.
Although you said modern so... if you mean modern style, then I guess Mania doesn't count. Sonic 4 probably doesn't either cuz it's like... modern and classic. It's classic Sonic with a modern commercial look... o0 Okay fine. It's the first then. lol
RoseOfTheNight4444 eh it's a free dlc you don't have to download bud, it's there for people that love shadow, but for those who don't just don't download it lol
Star Animations well there are theory's about those red blocks infinite uses as kind control devices so maybe shadow, metal, chaos and zavok are being mind controlled
It's interesting seeing the level filled to the brim with blocks and flat platforms, or "flatforms" if you will. Since they're easy to stack and rearrange, editing the level becomes a cinch, allowing Sonic Team to make a well-paced level. The downside is that the level lacks very many slopes, aside from the ones that were probably there in main game. This means the level doesn't take much advantage of Shadow's momentum. Still, can't argue with FREE.
The level reminds me of those missions in Sonic Generations that reused certain segments of the main levels but added blocks and flatforms to change it. Particularly, that one mission in Planet Wisp with the really nice lighting.
They aren't placeholders. Sonic Team is using these boxes to augment the original level layout without having to create new assets or alter existing ones. They basically built Shadow's level ON TOP of what I'm assuming is Sonic's level in the main game. Imagine if you had kids running around a playground and having fun, and you placed a bunch of identical boxes on the playground and nearby, and then told the kids you just made them a new playground. I'd call Sonic Team out for being cheap and reusing level assets like this, but again, it's FREE. As long as it plays well, which it seems to, it's all good.
Agreed, but I think is more likely that they use radical highway's music, on the basis that it fits more with the city level(since one was for a forest and the other one for a canyon full of rails). But hey, for all we know, they could even use a remixed version of Westopolis, just to catch us off guard
to be honest, I don't really care if the game has 2d sections or not. based on the level design itself, I think it's pretty alright. I'm not going to be one of those guys who writes off a level because it has a 2d section. 3d or not the level design as a whole is decent. Edit: Looking back on the level over a few times, i still think it looks alright, but i do see some laziness when it comes to a huge amount of boxes and grey metal platforms in some of these sections. nevertheless, i repeat; i think the level design is ok, not good nor bad, just ok
I have no problem with the 2D sections, I have a problem with the level design in general. Its bland flat and this level has a ton of press A in midair to win, dood.
I honestly wouldn't have as much of a problem with it... If freaking Classic Sonic wasn't in this game. I get Mania explained why he's there but still he's just there.
>3 new stages >One of which is ANOTHER Green Hill Zone Sega why? I'm tired of seeing this landscape over and over again. It was cool in SA2 when it was a bonus thing, but it's being waaaaaay overused now.
OH MY... I FREAKING LOVE SUPPORTING ME. FORGET SUNSET HEIGHTS, GIVE ME THAT AMAZING BIOLIZARD REMIX!!! Still i need to see another level aside from Green Hill Zone and the City level but i'm glad i can finally play with another Sonic character.
OMG Finally :D SHADOW wuhuuu!! maybe Silver too? or Knuckels? or both? but man i am so happy now that Shadow is coming to Sonic Forces as a playable character :3 Thank you Sega and Sonic Team :D
He's probably playable for one level like metal was in episode 4 where guess what his section was named non other than drumroll plz ...... Episode metal
junior Soto Unlike Episode Metal, Episode Shadow brings 3 unique levels for Shadow exclusively and allows you to play as Shadow in Modern Sonic's stages!
I was afraid we'd never get to play as any of the other characters besides sonic in any future games ever again because of how divided the sonic community is, but sonic mania and this game proved my fears wrong, I'm truly happy to see this.
AAAAH!!! Shadow is my FAVOURITE character, and the Theme of Biolizard (Supporting Me) is my FAVOURITE Sonic Adventure 2 song! That remix is sick, and Shadow's gameplay looks amazing!! SO HYPED!!
Vichapte Shadow's JP voice actor is good, but I've never had a problem with Kirk Thornton personally. I prefer him over Jason anyway, but I haven't really heard David Humphrey, so I'm not sure about him.
DUDE!!! This is AMAZING! Thank you Sega, thank you for bringing back Shadow. This fictional character acompanied me in my worst times and I'm so glad that he is a character you can play with again.
I read the comments here. I was actually joking to see if anyone would comment. It is still an issue though because people complained about a lot of stuff in the game until Shadow showed up. At least, that's how I see it. I don't really have a problem with it since I am just excited for the game, though.
Hey, I know everyone's already commented on the level design, but I just realized, doesn't it look kind of arcade-like to you? Like it focuses a lot on reaction time and such?
This comment section was fun for about an hour until everyone decided to nitpick and complain about only showing Green Hill zone again. I bet if they were showing you more stages you would all be like, "THANKS FOR SPOILING THE WHOLE GAME SEGA, UAGHUGH YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FANS. The only obvious thing is that the Internet is full of opinions and a lot of you can't make up your mind on what you want. Think before you type about bashing something you were praising just a month ago in another sonic game. Sonic Team, you're doing great this looks Amazing.
That's actually wrong Princess Peach has actually been capture _less_ than GHZ has appeared SM1, 3, World SM 64 NSMB 1,2,3 7, she's been captured 7 times in comparison to GHZ being used almost _20_
lyrics to supporting me hint at shadows death since it is in this game as well does that mean shadow will be the one to die in forces that was leaked? lets take a look at... more clues
@sword of war you're on to something but I don't think he's gonna die, more like the Phantom Ruby/ Eggman/ Infinite is going to corrupt Shadow and that's why the song starts at the middle with " To the pressure everything's just like An illusion, I'll be losing you before long". Now as we know with Sonic Mania Illusions seem to be the theme with the Phantom Ruby and Infinite is most likely powered by either the original or the result of whatever experiment brought about the Phantom Ruby prototypes.
Shadowakashen14 But... I don't think it's the beginning of the remix since it atart at the near end of the level and normally gameplay trailer that's starting in the middle of the stage in this channel plays other part of the bgm.
It's pretty neat Shadow's playable again but more 2D? It may be a petty complaint but this game is looking to be 80% 2D and if I want 2D Sonic I'll just play the old games I already love that have physics I enjoy. Modern 2D physics just aren't that fun to me, I'd rather play levels like Seaside Hill from Generations that are vast and expansive while mostly being 3D. Level design is the most crucial aspect of a Sonic game and these levels look very phoned in, mostly straight lines and boost pad variants, though I hope I'm wrong about the final product
+No copyright in the universe can stop me! True, the Tag-Team mode is supposed to be the main one in Forces, and it's fully 3D. By the way, 60% of Forces is supposed to be Tag-Team.
Haesyx true level design is an important aspect in a sonic game but it isn't easy feet to accomplish in one sitting let that be noted Have you seen the concept art for games like unleashed, colors and generations
Gokuvsnaruto22 If you look at the like and dislike ratio is mostly positive, but it seems the majority looks quiet while the minority being really loud. Even then, you shouldn't generalize people and call them fanboys. I am looking forward for the game and I have my concerns.
Sonic fans: Why is the stage so bland? Why is it WIP if the game is 2 months People who read the description: This looks decent for a WIP DLC! Also Shadows back yay!
THIS STAG IS PORLY DESIGNED I F*CING HATE IT OMFG WHY IS IT 2D WHY IS IT GREEN HILL WHY IS IT LIFE WHY THE F*** Phew... there, now you have one! You can thank me now.
Rhythm Audino the Sonic Channel occasionally reveals big news on Forces every Thursday, since Microsoft accidentally revealed DLC details on Shadow, the channel quickly uploaded the video that was supposed to be uploaded Thursday, happened last time too.
Smart and Intelligent Show! You *guys* ...as in, plural noun. There were only two people he/she could address with their reply, and they said "you guys", not "you".
This footage makes it even more bizarre that the music in the launch version of Episode Shadow on PC were all beta tracks. As this comes from the PC version & has the final music.
It all starts with this... A trailer containing the Ultimate DLC...
atonys tony a free DLC
Agustin Leguiza That's the.... Shadow Trailer. Now I know what's going on
This is Episode Shadow: the ultimate prequel to Sonic Forces. Time to play games. FAREWELL.
THAT'S THE... DLC!!
NOW I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, SEGA WANTS ME TO GET REPLACED!
SO, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT DLC?!
SAY SOMETHING YOU FAKE HEDGEHOG!!!
Dr. RL123 Chaos Control!! *Uses the DLC to teleport behind you*
Only three levels?
Where's that *damn* fourth level?
xSilentZeroXx
hes playable in 10 total. calm down
You guys now have have shadow but now you want shadow stages?
bet you want it in a silver platter with a cherry on top so you can knock it to the side unimpressed.
I don't know what you're all on about, I was just meming.
@TNHGameRemixes [Nebula] you do realize he was making fun of a shadow quote where he says "Where's that damn fourth chaos emerald," right? I think you're the one that needs to calm down my dude.
20, 00 you DO realize i was talking to Andre Harris right???
But the question remains...
Where's that DAMN 4th Chaos Emerald?
Sonic memes are still the best even years later lol
The real reason he sided with infinite is to find that DAMN 4th chaos emerald.
Alegamer X I'm..that chaos emerald
Pauric Conwell I think knuckles chuckled and accidentally destoryed the DAMN forth chaos emerald
He is the DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald (anyone get that reference)?
Sonic:Shadow why?? Why are you siding with infinite??
Shadow: Dude have you heard his theme song?
Shadow joined infinite so he can be edgy like him
the elemental phoenix LOL, so true bro. That theme is lit!
so lit that mine house burnned down
Shadow: Because...your side had no chao garden.
XD
IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE HE'S BEEN IN A MAIN SONIC TITLE... IM GOING TO CRY
Edgelord Shadow
He means playable.
I believe he means its been 10 years since Shadow, or rather anyone who's not Sonic, playable in a 3D Sonic title.
JCbackfire I'M CRYING TOO HE'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER AND IT AMAZING HE'S PLAYABLE FINALLY MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE
IS BEEN LIKE SONIC SPINBALL THAT SALLY EVER BEEN IN SONIC GAMES
Holy shit it's JC
I see Shadow.
I see cubes.
*I see edges all over*
Ow, the edge.
Stop trying to get subscribers dude C:
This just made me realise.
Infinite uses cubes as attacks because he's edgy, and cubes have edges.
*So much makes sense now.*
Sonic Team Blog what?
Gokuvsnaruto22 I was joking, he is my friend xD
It's kinda funny when this was announced, Hurricane Maria was also, announced...Feels bad man...
Flappy Pancakes
My theory? Shadow made them.
It's part of eggman's plan
MARIA!!!!!!!!!!
Guys, a lot of hurricanes happen like every year. But tbh, I've never seen a frenzy of hurricanes before. I think this happens rarely.
XD
5 things that is good about this DLC:
1· It's free.
2· Shadow's homing attack looks deadly af
3· Shadow is playable
4· Shadow is playable
5· Shadow is playable
999 crap things (apparently)
1-999: ITS BLAND AND BLOCKY
apparently
even tho its WIP
It's free? Awww yeaaah
You forgot reason 6. Supporting Me!
& Shadow is playable
6: Ow. The Edge.
NO WAY OMFG. THE BIOLIZARD REMIX AS WELL
MY DICK!
Mizu im screaming
Spinomaks I'm creaming
I am ejaculating at a high rate
.....*dies of edge*
2D Shadow? An attack that is sort of like Light Speed Dash?
What new spore of madness is this?
Izzu Ziq
No. Its just a chain home attack, like the ones in Lost World.
TripleJump Oh yeah. But even then, I am surprised they gave Shadow that attack. But we need him to feel different from Sonic somehow
Damn seems like they're referencing the Light Speed Attack/Ancient Light. been a while since i seen that move
Izzu Ziq
Or maybe their referencing Lost World. Because that's where the attack was copied from.
Izzu Ziq Also his homing attacks seem faster than Sonic...
11 YEARS, SEGA.
11 YEARS.
TO GIVE OUR FAVOURITE EDGELORD A CHANCE TO SHINE AGAIN.
But he was Playable in Sonic 0.....OH GOD THAT REALLY WAS 11 YEARS AGO CHRIST
Rose Supreme Sonic adventure 2 got a pc release on 2012
Yeah and it will sucks
Rose Supreme i mean the last few tries suckd too much and seeing how sanic wasn't all that hot for some time they needed to get their stuff together
Well technically 8 years because Sonic and the Black Knight released in 2009 with shadow being playable
Everything is so tiny, I'm breaking my eyes while watching this footage on a TV. Playing this on Switch must be a nightmare :(
This. It's so tiny... So impersonal... The character could be Shadow, Nights or a chair, nobody cares about it with that size and speed.
You can see just fine if you play in handheld mode lol
@@thesecretroman yea cuz you hold it up to ur face like a phone lul
Sonic Four: Episode Metal
Sonic Forces: Episode Shadow
Sonic Foresight: Episode Silver
Kirbysmith64 Sonic my franchise isn't dead: Episode chaos
Extraordinary Eevees * Episode Blaze.
Sonic Three: Episode Knuckles
Next Sonic game:Episode Silver
FINALLY!
Also Shadow + Boost Gameplay!?
*Sonic Generations mods were a real thing!!!*
Mods suck ass
Caleb Montes like you?
I mean.. Shadow used boost during his boss fight in Generations and that wasn't a mod.
Screw mods. This actually tries to make the character play somewhat uniquely.
Also, unlike the mod, Shadow's equivalent to Sonic Boost is being portrayed correctly, here. Many people don't get that his equivalent to Sonic Boost has him thrusting himself forewards through the use of his chaos powers, rather than just using his own skates. I don't even think his scates are actually designed to grant him the ability to boost like Sonic.
(Yes, I know there's a version of the mod with the correct potrayal, but some people apprarently seem to prefer the version that of his boost that involves the use of his skates.)
The fact they also used the "Supporting Me [The Biolizard]" from SA2 in this made me cry with happiness... thank you Sega!
Am I the only one who doesn't mind Kirk Thornton voicing Shadow? In my opinion, it was _kinda_ bad in Sonic Boom, but not awfully cringy. Then he did a better voice in LEGO Dimensions.
JesseRoxII I agree. Kirk definitely has potential for being an ideal voice of Shadow, although I do think the Jason Griffith Shadow was the best overall.
Thornton...just isn't the right actor, simply put. He lacks subtlety which is essential for a proper Shadow interpretation.
I honestly prefer Jason, but Thornton is improving game by game. Having hopes for him here.
Bryce412 Exactly my thoughts
In Lego Dimensions he was ok.
Now i want Episode &Knuckles on Forces
Yeah, it'd be nice to see how he became the resistance leader. Also the funnny memes ecks dee && Knuckurs
And i want episode its no use on forces
Arca episode find the computer room
lol
Arca me to that sounds awsome
"A prequel to the main storyline of Sonic Forces, this add-on content explores Shadow's allegiance, the fate of Team Dark, and the origin of the mysterious villain, Infinite."
*_Hold the fuck up. Are we getting some actual backstory in a Sonic game and potentially Sonic Heroes because it mentioned Team Dark?!_*
This is what caught my attention as well, are we getting lore linking Heroes? Sign me up even more :D
Viktor Freding Well Eggman did say his plan would work in 3 days just like in Sonic Heroes. This game almost feels like a spiritual sequel.
StickMaster500 I hope we get Sonic Heroes in the future but Sonic Forces looks promising. November needs to hurry up!!!
Well Team Dark wasn't just in Heroes, but I see what you mean. I believe Shadow was apart of the Resistance, and since Sonic was gone(maybe?), He faced up against Eggman and Infinite... then (the power of backstory), he parted ways from Team Dark and the resistance to join Eggman.
Nicolas The Hedgehog And wherever Omega is (he's somewhere in the game too)
HEY PEOPLE! In the description, it says that this is a Work in Progress! This is also *one* of many levels. Just letting you know before you start complaining about it again...
Any confirmation on boost gameplay like Modern Sonic?
Blade the Cat Work in progress? The game comes out in, like, November. Do you know how long it takes to make good levels? Longer than that at least.
Blade the Cat I think this is mostly the final level. Even if it is WIP, I only expect small changes to the level design like in Generations.
I wonder if what has been shown to us since E3 has just been an older build and that things have improved so much since that build but SEGA is hiding it.
Doubt it but just a thought.
Inklink It's a DLC... They could still work on it after the game comes out...
*_"Shadow the Hedgehog, why does that name haunt me? It's all I can remember, and that gruesome image."_*
*aliens randomly appear*
*_Where's that D A M N 4th Chaos emerald?_*
Memetic_Joe Huuuhhhaa Sonic 06....
What does Sonic 06 have to do with anything? The qoute is from Shadow The Hedgehog
Memetic_Joe I know, but sonic 06 is a gruesome image
damn, that homing attack..
More like Homing Nuke.
*4th chaos emerald
I'm sorry
EspioMetroidNano nah, u good.
looks like sonics light speed attack to me
That looks like a homing shot!
Sonic forces episode edgy. Well im excited edit: also that biolizard remix sounds godlike
The legendary Jokester it reminds me of gta stories games.
*where is that **_damn_** fourth chaos emerald*
This game keeps getting better and better!
+doxxed so does that make Sonic Mania redundant?..... I just don't understand if the game's good why does it matter if it's side-scrolling I'm not one of those blind fans who just accepts anything that they make but at the same time it just one gameplay of a level segment can we get a chance to get the whole game before judging it can the Hedgehog get a break not only people are giving him blind hate from his past failures and fans just can't be happy as usual no matter what the Hedgehog does he's always going to get shit even if the game is bad we always have Mania.
doxxed yeah I'm not a fan of the level design but the fact that we are able to play as shadow once again makes me happy.
+doxxed and by the way this game is looking a lot like generations and that's not necessarily A Bad Thing even if it isn't a great game it's going to be a decent one I'm pretty sure this is going to be the last time we see Classic Sonic in a modern game hopefully and just separate Classic Sonic and modern Sonic.
+Generic Random Guy on the Internet hopefully the levels can look more lively like the first level we saw from modern Sonic's gameplay I agree that Greenhill looking level looks really blocky
dontoons122 but even if the 2D sections are blocky, this level design was also in Colors and as far as I know Colors was a great game with more 2D than 3D. Obviously the 2D sections in Unleashed and Generations were better but that doesn't mean the Colors 2D gameplay was bad. IMO
Everyone their shit on the level design being in 2D, while there's me who wants a Metal Sonic episode to come out.
You get to play as other characters......I LOVE THAT! I hope we can play as more.
Knight Warrior in hoping for an episode of tails and silver
Still waiting for the episode DLC Sally Acorn story
Since knuckles is the leader of the resistance, I really want a dlc campaign for him.
lol, then keep dreaming, as she only appears in the comics and once on a show. The only game appearance was in sonic spinball as an easter egg.
Inspector Hulk316 You're one of the few who knows who should truly be the Resistance leader...good on you.
Wow that looks awesome and Shadow has his own moves !
And that Biolizard remix is just
GOOD
GREAT
AWESOME
OUTSTANDING
*AMAZING*
I'm not very hyped
You forgot GOOD
All I did was press -A- the video.
Edgy the Hedgy OH NO
Dilan Duck Mais ça à l'air d'être trop bien, comme ça on saura pourquoi Shadow est méchant
"I am all of me" Still waiting for that song in some way.
ZER0lPT YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZER0lPT Rather have an "All hail Shadow" remix
I'm waiting for "Almost Dead" (It'd fit, since Shadow's evil in Sonic Forces)
SHADOW BASKETBALL
(If someone gets that reference you are amazing)
Oh no, not that... thing.....
RalphJeremy 65 it is the true form of shadow (but seriously what the hell was that thing)
Solar animations ah yes those horrible memories (SONIC SKATEBOARD)
SHADOH BASKETBULL
CREAM BUTTFLOWER CATCH
ROG AND AMY TENIS
Solar animations never bring that up
Japan: Here is an exciting Sonic Forces trailer
Fans: Wasn't hyped for this game until this came out, but now I am
US: Meh, here have Episode Shadow
Fans: HOLY FUCK! YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEES! SHADOW IS BACK! Oh...... 2D sections
Seriosly why do people hate the 2d sections?!
RazerHITBoy 1268 The Modern Sonic boost gameplay doesn't work well in 2D. Last time it worked well was Unleashed and occasionally Generations, where the camera was on a.slight angle just so you can see what's ahead so you can react, while the other times it can be a straight path then *BAM!* botomless pit with no warning or reaction time
for *TRUE STORY*
Jack the Czech Sonic Fan THANK YOU!!! Finally someone who can see the same solution I can in hindsight you really don't have to boost it's optional to begin with and honestly when you think about it it's really not that different from the spindash
Jack the Czech Sonic Fan I can see where your getting at in fact I even enjoyed the spindash in the games for that reason but we also have to be reasonable about this situation as for level design I really don't want to get back on that subject
This is the first time in 11 years we've been able to play as one of Sonic's friends in a main series modern game. Think about that.
Also, I love how they remembered his golden aura from SA2.
friends
Third.
Sonic 4 Episode 2: Tails, and Metal Sonic if you had episode 1 already.
Sonic Mania: Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.
Sonic Forces: Shadow. Although he's not really a friend here but we get what you mean.
Although you said modern so... if you mean modern style, then I guess Mania doesn't count. Sonic 4 probably doesn't either cuz it's like... modern and classic. It's classic Sonic with a modern commercial look... o0
Okay fine. It's the first then. lol
Axxidous They mean Modern as in Modern Sonic AKA boost gameplay Mania is classic and Sonic 4 is also "classic"
I think the last games were Sonic Chronickles or Sonic and The Black Knight (alternate versions of Sonic Friends)
A blessing, a blessing from the Sega!!!
Jakethedog3275 *Sonic Team
More like an annoyance.
RoseOfTheNight4444 eh it's a free dlc you don't have to download bud, it's there for people that love shadow, but for those who don't just don't download it lol
Supersonicspyro 24 True. Its optional
Supersonicspyro 24 Oh, I know that, that's why I'm not too annoyed. But so many other characters could use that same treatment
Am I the only thinking that Shadow is playing undercover?
Well he was working for GUN in 06
Star Animations well there are theory's about those red blocks infinite uses as kind control devices so maybe shadow, metal, chaos and zavok are being mind controlled
USD
Yeah, except Sega confirm that Shadow joined Eggman for his own reason.
Star Animations this is the team dark story
It's interesting seeing the level filled to the brim with blocks and flat platforms, or "flatforms" if you will. Since they're easy to stack and rearrange, editing the level becomes a cinch, allowing Sonic Team to make a well-paced level. The downside is that the level lacks very many slopes, aside from the ones that were probably there in main game. This means the level doesn't take much advantage of Shadow's momentum.
Still, can't argue with FREE.
The video also started at a checkpoint so maybe there is more to it prior.
The level reminds me of those missions in Sonic Generations that reused certain segments of the main levels but added blocks and flatforms to change it.
Particularly, that one mission in Planet Wisp with the really nice lighting.
They aren't placeholders. Sonic Team is using these boxes to augment the original level layout without having to create new assets or alter existing ones.
They basically built Shadow's level ON TOP of what I'm assuming is Sonic's level in the main game. Imagine if you had kids running around a playground and having fun, and you placed a bunch of identical boxes on the playground and nearby, and then told the kids you just made them a new playground.
I'd call Sonic Team out for being cheap and reusing level assets like this, but again, it's FREE. As long as it plays well, which it seems to, it's all good.
Shut up and take my money! So i predicted right.
RealSonicVideos it's actually free so...
is it? can you grab it now or do you have to wait till novamber 7?
YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT HIS CITY LEVEL WILL HAVE A REMIXED VERSION OF RADICAL HIGHWAY!
daniel santos THAT'S RIGHT YOU SAID IT!!!!!!!1!!!
I'm just hoping they can somehow put a remixed version of Throw It All Away in the game
daniel santos yeah, because it's not like they ALWAYS use Radical Highway or anything. I could go for White Forest or Sky Rail for once, honestly.
Agreed, but I think is more likely that they use radical highway's music, on the basis that it fits more with the city level(since one was for a forest and the other one for a canyon full of rails). But hey, for all we know, they could even use a remixed version of Westopolis, just to catch us off guard
*GRINDING DOWN BRIDGE RAILING INTENSIFIES*
Reading these comments makes me want to snap my own neck
yet I still read them
What's wrong with me?
I feel your pain...
-Well, unless it's about everyone's opinions on the game.-
its more about everyone who is being absolute dicks while pretending there opinion is fact and everyone who disagrees with them is labeled a moron
even as i was typing that i got a notification from one such individual smh
Maybe you're secretly a masochist?
sword of war Maybe you're searching for something worth it.
OMG IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
THANK YOU SEGA FOR MAKING MY FAVORITE CHARACTER PLAYABLE AGAIN 🙏🏾
Thanks for the lazy re-skin noice.
Helix Teh DNA man BRUH YOU AREN'T HAPPY THAT ONE OF THE BEST SONIC CHARCTERS ARE PLAYABLE
Oh so him being black makes all the difference?
Helix Teh DNA man bruh look at sonic and shadow, YOU AREN'T FROM SA2 YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE
The gameplay is the exact same.
"Everythiiiing's just liiiike... an illusion."
Oh, Supporting Me. I love it. The fan service, man, it's God tier over here.
*I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS*
LET ME EXPLAIN
I DO TO, I JUST WANT TO PLAY AS SHADOW AND FEEL BADASS LIKE IN SAB2 AGAIN...
Yeah, why is it entirely 2D must be one of them.
Offcial Memeist it's DLC
Retro Hub my guy I think it's one of those like... "Short Missions" where it's like... Kinda like a "filler stage"
YO IS THAT SUPPORTING ME
Hazamod Yes it is.
to be honest, I don't really care if the game has 2d sections or not. based on the level design itself, I think it's pretty alright. I'm not going to be one of those guys who writes off a level because it has a 2d section. 3d or not the level design as a whole is decent. Edit: Looking back on the level over a few times, i still think it looks alright, but i do see some laziness when it comes to a huge amount of boxes and grey metal platforms in some of these sections. nevertheless, i repeat; i think the level design is ok, not good nor bad, just ok
I have no problem with the 2D sections, I have a problem with the level design in general. Its bland flat and this level has a ton of press A in midair to win, dood.
Prinny Dood! Get back to work
glad to see a person with a brain
I honestly wouldn't have as much of a problem with it... If freaking Classic Sonic wasn't in this game. I get Mania explained why he's there but still he's just there.
I agree like look at colors no matter me Gave A FUCK if 2D was in there tho if tho it was mostly 2D
So excited for this game, holy shit
Lil Boulder Lel same m89
Lol. Someone's gonna hate This game the day after.
Me too...!!
...?? And what. Ok..
Random life coughcoughigncoughcough
OH MY GOD. SHADOW IS PLAYABLE. THANK YOU SONIC TEAM.
>3 new stages
>One of which is ANOTHER Green Hill Zone
Sega why?
I'm tired of seeing this landscape over and over again. It was cool in SA2 when it was a bonus thing, but it's being waaaaaay overused now.
Well at least it's 6 "differnt" variation of it.
No you got it wrong. over 10 stages from Modern Sonic (Green Hill included). Probably the 3 stages won't be revealed until its released.
Hikouma Music
So is pretty much every first level in any long-running Videogame series.
Hikouma Music if it wasn't green hill it would be a green hill clone
@@TacoManX9 because we all know there were 6 recreations of world 1-1 in mario odyssey
Who else is glad Shadow isn't just a re-skin of Sonic!
EDIT- HOW THE HELL DID THIS GET SO MANY LIKES?? Thanks!
Should I ask for subscribers??
Derpso Me but I still want the ability to play sonic's stages as shadow. edit:I found out that he actually can right after this vid😂😂😂😂
Its seems like it from the moves he has... But I guess we'll find out soon
Legend M they said that shadow has his own stages and there was only 3 stages for shadow
Shadow can Light Dash though enemies, thats the only different I see so far. He also seems to have a larger homing attack range?
He has one new move...
That's hardly NOT considered a reskin.
Why is nobody talking about the music!? THE MUSICS AMAZING!!!
There better be a Biolizard boss if they can make a remix
It took me a few seconds to recognize it but yeah, I'm absolutely loving this.
I tjought it was just a new piece of music, until i heard
*EVERYTHING JUST LIKEEE!!
AN ILLUSION!*
OH MY... I FREAKING LOVE SUPPORTING ME. FORGET SUNSET HEIGHTS, GIVE ME THAT AMAZING BIOLIZARD REMIX!!! Still i need to see another level aside from Green Hill Zone and the City level but i'm glad i can finally play with another Sonic character.
True that.
Agustin Leguiza it's been too long
we did see other levels indirectly in the infinity video and the new trailer
Am I the only one that realised this song was from Generations?
TSJ {The Spring Junkie} No, it was originally from sa2. They remixed it in Generations 3ds and brought it back here
I keep coming back for the song.
OMG Finally :D SHADOW wuhuuu!! maybe Silver too? or Knuckels? or both? but man i am so happy now that Shadow is coming to Sonic Forces as a playable character :3 Thank you Sega and Sonic Team :D
SB-Typ I think silver will be playable
He's probably playable for one level like metal was in episode 4 where guess what his section was named non other than drumroll plz ......
Episode metal
junior Soto Unlike Episode Metal, Episode Shadow brings 3 unique levels for Shadow exclusively and allows you to play as Shadow in Modern Sonic's stages!
I was afraid we'd never get to play as any of the other characters besides sonic in any future games ever again because of how divided the sonic community is, but sonic mania and this game proved my fears wrong, I'm truly happy to see this.
SB-Typ Hopefully Espio, Vector, and Charmy will also be playable.
SUPPORTING ME REMIX?!
Yesssssss
The edge
Dreamcast at Modern Times? Without Sally?
AbsolutePCGamer Yes M8 Im so excited!!!!!!
Yesss
I CANT WAIT! This game just keeps on getting better and better!
AAAAH!!! Shadow is my FAVOURITE character, and the Theme of Biolizard (Supporting Me) is my FAVOURITE Sonic Adventure 2 song! That remix is sick, and Shadow's gameplay looks amazing!! SO HYPED!!
He had better say "I'm the coolest."
I mean it.
You got this Sonic
"VANISH!"
Is it just me or does his voice sound... more like Shadow? It doesn't sound like he's doing a poor Batman impression anymore.
Trey Bolick It's the Japanese voice actor. Also, you can't really say sounds like Shadow when, as a fictional character, Shadow has no actual voice.
It's the Japanese voice. Really suits him instead of the discount-batman we got for English..
Vichapte Shadow's JP voice actor is good, but I've never had a problem with Kirk Thornton personally. I prefer him over Jason anyway, but I haven't really heard David Humphrey, so I'm not sure about him.
True, since the English voice actor is also known for voicing Orbot.
Trey Bolick yeah it's his Japanese VA. I agree, it sounds more like Shadow. I really can't stand the current English VA.
never have i ever wanted a sonic game this badly before!
A modern sonic game without only Sonic being playable ? How could anyone dislike this ?
IKR
OOOMMMGGGG FINAALLY WE CAN PLAY AS SHADOW IN A SONIC GAME!!!!!
Rakan Zaghloul obviously you've never played sonic adventure 2
Rakan Zaghloul you played as shadow in sonic 06
You could play as him in Sonic Adventure 2
Guessing you didn't play sonic 06
Rakan Zaghloul also in sonic chronicles
And free! Sega I fucking love you.
All Hail Shadow!
HEROES RISE AGAIN
Carlos Filho3 obliterating everything that's not your friend
HexaBlast who said it was free?
upgamepopfizz 45 They said so on twitter.
ALL HAIL SHADOW! SEGA I LOVE YOU!
An Orange Spinball? Nice callback to SA2.
TripleJump shadow has always been orangish yellow aura. It's not a callback
Yeah, it was in Sonic Heroes and Shadow The Video Game as well... :/
I was hopping for a blue spin ball personally :/
Also in Sonic Rivals he's orange too
lol this adventure fanboy
Haven't heard of that theme song in years... nearly made me shed a tear of how I was so into Sonic back in my childhood...
*procedes to bob head to "Supporting Me" remix*
The fate of Team Dark?? YES PLEASE GIVE ME OMEGA!!
Did you see his new art from SEGA? He's definitely in the game.
Yes! I hope so :D
where did you get the art
E123OmegaShow they should have a new look for him like how Bat man have different suits.
Hasslehoff Games Sonic Forces Speed Battle
Ah, the Biolizard remix. All we need now is Throw it all away for our favorite edgelord and we're good to go. How it felt to be a kid again...
Ghoul Dash No wonder, I was like "What song is this again? It's so familiar.."
I know. It sounded so different.
DUDE!!! This is AMAZING! Thank you Sega, thank you for bringing back Shadow. This fictional character acompanied me in my worst times and I'm so glad that he is a character you can play with again.
It all starts with this... A jem of ultimate power
Your Boi Miles its gem with a g but still Nice comment
A Jewel containing the Ultimate power*
Jim Jam
My fault
At least I got the first part right
FINALLY WE CAN PLAY AS SHADOW AGAIN YESSSS!!!!
Where's that *DAMN* fourth Chaos Emerald?
Cole West It's not funny anymore stop saying it
Cole! Its Me! Cody From Miiverse!
So is everyone getting this recommended the day before SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS?
I just don't know how much I can love SEGA. Well, very well done. Hoping for November to arrive as soon as possible.
Issue is if this was Sonic gameplay people would complain that the level is completely 2D.
I am excited to play as Shadow again, though.
Slash they still are
Really?
Slash the level starts halfway through the stage from the look of it.
How is that an issue? Just read the comments.
I read the comments here. I was actually joking to see if anyone would comment. It is still an issue though because people complained about a lot of stuff in the game until Shadow showed up. At least, that's how I see it. I don't really have a problem with it since I am just excited for the game, though.
THE EDGELORD IS FINALLY BACK :')
Hey, I know everyone's already commented on the level design, but I just realized, doesn't it look kind of arcade-like to you? Like it focuses a lot on reaction time and such?
Bryce Bitetti ! You're right!
Bryce Bitetti true
Yeah, thats a compliment on my watch
Bryce Bitetti no
Huh, I’ve never thought of it like that
How much you wanna bet Shadow joined Infinite just for the fact that Infinite said he can bring Maria back to life
sora .s Nah, in STH Shadow disregards Maria
Maybe Shadow knows how powerful infinite is and he thinks its hopeless
Budda 2795 I doubt that. Shadow would never run from a fight especially if Sonic isn't.
sora .s Hey, that is to similar to what I thinked (I didn't thinked infinite reviving Maria, more like using Maria to control Shadow)
It was confirmed that Shadow, Metal Sonic, Chaos, and Zavok fight for their own reasons. But still that would be interesting if it were the case.
This comment section was fun for about an hour until everyone decided to nitpick and complain about only showing Green Hill zone again. I bet if they were showing you more stages you would all be like, "THANKS FOR SPOILING THE WHOLE GAME SEGA, UAGHUGH YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FANS. The only obvious thing is that the Internet is full of opinions and a lot of you can't make up your mind on what you want. Think before you type about bashing something you were praising just a month ago in another sonic game. Sonic Team, you're doing great this looks Amazing.
I know that the phrase "The Sonic fanbase is never satisfied" is getting too common, but it is true.
People rant about Green Hill returning
While Princess Peach gets kidnapped... again... for the quintillionth time
That's actually wrong Princess Peach has actually been capture _less_ than GHZ has appeared
SM1, 3, World
SM 64
NSMB 1,2,3
7, she's been captured 7 times in comparison to GHZ being used almost _20_
Drason Vender What about galaxy? What about Sunshine? What about Odyssey? What about in 3D land?
I wonder if Mario fans will ever get sick of saving princess Peach. I mean do Mario fans ever ask Nintendo to do something new (without a gimmick)
I love the fact you can play as Shadow again, but that level design could be miles better.
lyrics to supporting me hint at shadows death since it is in this game as well does that mean shadow will be the one to die in forces that was leaked? lets take a look at... more clues
sword of war Or it's just a song that has been associated with both the Biolizard and Shadow since SA2.
Big Boss could be that too lol
sword of war derp
@sword of war you're on to something but I don't think he's gonna die, more like the Phantom Ruby/ Eggman/ Infinite is going to corrupt Shadow and that's why the song starts at the middle with " To the pressure everything's just like An illusion, I'll be losing you before long". Now as we know with Sonic Mania Illusions seem to be the theme with the Phantom Ruby and Infinite is most likely powered by either the original or the result of whatever experiment brought about the Phantom Ruby prototypes.
Shadowakashen14 But... I don't think it's the beginning of the remix since it atart at the near end of the level and normally gameplay trailer that's starting in the middle of the stage in this channel plays other part of the bgm.
Ok I did not see that coming..... I really didn't.... THANK YOU SEGA!!!!!!!!!!!
Ikr?
PLAYABLE SHADOW?! GAME OF THE YEAR
BOYS, LIFE IS GOOD TODAY.
Level design is ass but it's cool to see shadow back.
OH SHIT BOI ITS THE FUCKING BIOLIZARD THEME
It's pretty neat Shadow's playable again but more 2D? It may be a petty complaint but this game is looking to be 80% 2D and if I want 2D Sonic I'll just play the old games I already love that have physics I enjoy. Modern 2D physics just aren't that fun to me, I'd rather play levels like Seaside Hill from Generations that are vast and expansive while mostly being 3D.
Level design is the most crucial aspect of a Sonic game and these levels look very phoned in, mostly straight lines and boost pad variants, though I hope I'm wrong about the final product
not to worry, this game should be like unleashed (it starts as a weird blend of 2D and 3D and then it gets mostly 3D and rarely 2D)
whoops, sorry about that. thank you for the correction.
+No copyright in the universe can stop me! True, the Tag-Team mode is supposed to be the main one in Forces, and it's fully 3D. By the way, 60% of Forces is supposed to be Tag-Team.
Waddle Dees United That sounds like really good news if that is the case.
Haesyx true level design is an important aspect in a sonic game but it isn't easy feet to accomplish in one sitting let that be noted
Have you seen the concept art for games like unleashed, colors and generations
Silently dropping that sick Supporting Me remix?
True Sonic fans: OMG Shadow is a playable character once again!
Sonic fans: WHERES THE 3D STAGES AT?
"True" sonic fans don't complain about anything cause they are fanboys
Gokuvsnaruto22 "O-oh, anyone that can accept mediocre concepts of a Sonic game is a fanboy!11!1!!!111!!1!
Gokuvsnaruto22 If you look at the like and dislike ratio is mostly positive, but it seems the majority looks quiet while the minority being really loud. Even then, you shouldn't generalize people and call them fanboys. I am looking forward for the game and I have my concerns.
Sonic fans: Why is the stage so bland? Why is it WIP if the game is 2 months
People who read the description: This looks decent for a WIP DLC! Also Shadows back yay!
Gokuvsnaruto22 wow I didn't know that just being able to accept aspects in a GAME could be considered a fanboy>:(
Where is the people complaining about this "poorly designed" 2d stage in Green Hill? I don't hear them...
They'll come eventually LOL
Syenzx lol yeah, I saw the checkpoint at the beginning.
Jack the Czech Sonic Fan One already has
Jack the Czech Sonic Fan
How do you mute/block someone?
Ágimon The Power Torment thank you sire
THIS STAG IS PORLY DESIGNED I F*CING HATE IT OMFG WHY IS IT 2D WHY IS IT GREEN HILL WHY IS IT LIFE WHY THE F***
Phew... there, now you have one! You can thank me now.
Who's ready for shadowception in the modern sonic stages?
Rawr Kipzu I think the DLC is more than just a skin swap, so I doubt we'll be seeing any shadowception.
The mods were already going to take care of that, this just makes their job easier.
ME!
OctoEclipse
Its fully animated.
Rawr Kipzu
The descriptions says its a prequel to the main story.
Wait-- shhhh
Y'all hear that?
That's the sound of the sonic fandom literally exploding
Sιℓvεя 「 The Telekinetic Visitor 」 I only hear Little bitches about how the level is boring and bland
I already exploded before this. :3
Man this game has so much content, Two Dlc's, probably like 45. Stages, it's just so much !!!!
33 levels (including DLC) is close I guess?
Ironically, this game is known for being really short for a sonic game.
FYI for those who don't know, this DLC is *free* and releases on November 7th
Is that Supporting Me as the music? Nice.
When your game gets leaked details so you resort to revealing gameplay 2 days early...
whut?
Rhythm Audino the Sonic Channel occasionally reveals big news on Forces every Thursday, since Microsoft accidentally revealed DLC details on Shadow, the channel quickly uploaded the video that was supposed to be uploaded Thursday, happened last time too.
justandresx That happend with Mania's intro too. Dunno if Xbox was responsible or SEGA for this one though.
justandresx You're wrong. This was teased on twitter yesterday.
As long as Shadow doesn’t sound like he desperately needs a cough drop, I’m down!
People: *freaking the fuck out over ONE level that was 2D*
Me: SONIC FANS STRIKE AGAIN
Patrick Thornberry And this isn't even the full stage...
Daniel Avila I'm not lying to myself, I'm aware of how the stages are designed.
TAG that message wasn't even to you
Smart and Intelligent Show! You *guys* ...as in, plural noun. There were only two people he/she could address with their reply, and they said "you guys", not "you".
Talking about the type of people Patrick Thornberry might be
*IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW*
FINALLY!!!! Shadow is playable again !!!!
This footage makes it even more bizarre that the music in the launch version of Episode Shadow on PC were all beta tracks. As this comes from the PC version & has the final music.
That moment when the Sonic Team throw in a little extra.
I was already sold but now................
Welp time to by a second Sonic forces bonus edition
ChosenGamer TJ For what?
The MUSIC!
TripleJump So nice~
So, are you guys ever going to fix the stomp move using the landing sound instead of the falling sound?
