I posted it to cleanse the mind after seeing the... realistic picture on the previous page. *shudders*
At least this one is cute.

And it's not suppose to be "accurate" proportions. Art is subjective after all.
It's a different style of art. Not all art styles have to be the same.

The guy's drawing got plenty of positive responses to it already. No biggie here.

Yeah but Generations doesn't have the correct physics.

Mania was graphically perfect

I will admit that Sonic Mania is the prettiest Sonic game ever. Forces is the coolest in my opinion, or perhaps "Archive Comic" coolest.

And on that note:

It was only a matter of time...

PS: It's really well-drawn. Kudos to ss2sonic for the awesome drawing.

An Outro Picture I'm working on and this is what I've got done so far:
YT Sonic Mania Outro WIP


Hey there! Been awhile since my last drawing and funny enough my last one was a Sonic the Hedgehog sketch and my newest upload is a YouTube Outro on Sonic!

I've played Sonic Mania and love it, my second favorite 2D Sonic game (as I thought, S3&K is still my number one favorite Sonic game), and I did a complete Let's Play recording my Sonic's story in the game. The Switch version! However I haven't uploaded ANY of my footage as I wanted to make a custom Outro for my Sonic Mania run and I FINALLY got around to drawing it all in Paint Tool Sai. Took roughly about 2 - 3 hours of making the drawing outlines and rough sketches to see what they're going to look like and before I finalize them. I'm going to need to look at some lineart tutorials and inking ones to get the desired look for it.

In my Outro I have Classic Sonic running along side of my OC, Chris Corona (who is my Avatar of sorts), in this drawing. Along with my OC's guardian spirit, Virus, flying in the back. The little blue circles below their feet is the dust trail I plan to give them to show they're running at full speed. After YouTube's update in May with how the annoations and video links work, I had to re-work my Outros. And in the midst of it I decided to make unique Outros for each series I plan to do a Let's Play on. Though I have to get my lazy butt off to do it, I've been putting it off too much. I made the Sonic Mania videos about a month ago, just when the game released, and I'm making the unique Outro NOW!

Sheesh. Move it lazy me!

Not to mention I spent most of the time working on my OC's sneakers in this one! I decided to make new sneakers for him based on my cool new sneakers as well. And it was tricky to get it right, not overly complicated but not so simple as well. Actually I'm going with a simple look with some cool designs on it. Not easy especially when I don't know where to look for some good anime sneakers to look at for reference. Had to experiment here. Also I tweaked my OC's hairstyle as bit now so the little hair tail on the bottom of his hair not point upward to be more spiky. He's starting to come along nicely.

I also hope Classic Sonic came out right too. I wanted to go with the style Sonic Mania went with and tried to do the same with my OC... though I think I went Chibi Style instead of Sonic CD Style.

And the ground they're running on is suppose to be Green Hill Zone, though I'm not sure how I'll be able to paint that in. I never could find ANY video tutorials on how to make backgrounds. Just characters. Let me know if there's any good ones at there please.

I'm taking a break on it for now as this is a Work-in-Progress. I'm posting it here to get some feedback on it. Is it good? Does it need more work on it in some areas? Any suggestions? I like to know what you think and what I can do to make it better. Videos and tips would be most helpful!

Until next time, this is VirusChris signing off! Sayanora my Nakamas! Laters!

Dang... I know he wants it to have the best quality possible and he's one guy, but sheesh. That's amazing.

Anyway, I don't know if anyone's seen this screenshot before:


Classic Sonic with Bubble Shield.
Speaking of which... was there any information stating the Elemental Shields would be returning for Forces?

Two different Gameplay footage of the Casino:

[youtube]ewEWCUjq5CE[/youtube]

[youtube]qzWmmUBmUAo[/youtube]

So the Ancient Mystic Ruins from SA1 is converted by Eggman into a Casino and Classic Sonic and Tails are going through the level to look for Modern Sonic? Someone theorized that the lack of enemies on stage is a result of Modern Sonic already clearing out the enemies before Classic Sonic got there. Would be cool if the previous stage affects the next stage like that, like as Modern Sonic and you beat a certain number of enemies in that zone and when you play as Classic Sonic next there's no enemies. Or if you didn't kill enemies there's plenty of enemies to attack.

I quite like the stage really, the Mystic Ruins from SA1 in the background turned into a Casino Palace is a nice touch and shows that Eggman will change every part of the world in his liking and image. Not only that he's disrespecting Knuckles' ancestral home which is going to tick him off. And the music, it reminds me greatly of the Casino level from Sonic 2 and Carnival from Sonic 3. The beat's great to dance to a lot.

Nice to see another level. I wonder what the Modern and Avatar versions will be like?

Also more insight on the Character Creation with an interview with Takashi Iizuka:
http://www.siliconera.com/2017/09/26/sonic-forces-devs-discuss-designed-custom-character-creator/

I wonder how much they saw? Still they should think outside the box with the body size, true most Sonic OCs use Sonic's body as a base and most of them are are like that. But when I see Bark the Polar Bear's body type, I kinda half expected to see the Bear Avatar be like that. Though there's some bear-like characters from the Sonic Comic with the body size we see.

So they're keeping it consistent. Hopefully if they do another Character Creation in the future for Sonic I hope they expand on it more, or perhaps DLC.

I know we haven't seen it, we can customize the ears, eyes, hairstyles, and possible mouth parts of the Avatar. It's not going to be the most complex Creation, but it's going to be very in-depth for a Sonic one.

Not to mention you can go crazy with the eyes, like Tails Doll eyes from the Story and here in this video with the new screenshot. Also was I the only one who thought the armor outfit that Avatar looked like it came from Atlus' Strange Journey game? The mask part looks almost like the helmet from that game.

Don't think so, but THAT would be an interesting take on Infinite.

Another take is... some fans thought Sonic Forces would be the PERFECT "sequel" to Sonic Chronicles in terms of story. When you come back home at the end of Sonic Chronicles, Eggman has already conquered the world. Would've been a good tie-in, but none Sonic Chronicles is non-canon or ceased to exist due to lawsuits.

I was thinking of a joke that Infinite isn't Tails, but the WORST possible outcome ever!

Infinite is... drum roll please *drum roll... BIG THE CAT! He has the feline-like long ears behind the helmet, the long bushing tail, and Eggman experimented on him and implanted the Ruby Phantom into him changing his appearance! To give Sonic the utter despair and misery that Eggman wishes upon his hated foe! That's why he's hasn't been seen yet!

Hahaha... joking aside, I didn't mind Big. I quite liked him as a character, especially Chronicles' take on him. And the comics I hear.

Apparently another leak came out which reveals the file size of Sonic Forces:
[youtube]As9L98zp464[/youtube]

The default file size for the Switch version of Sonic Forces is going to be 7.042GB and I hear that the Xbox One's version is going to be 16.1GB. I guess, because of the details in graphics between the two versions I hear? I recall that Zelda: Breath of the Wild was 13GB in size? Seeing how big that title will be, I wonder how big Sonic Forces is going to be seeing as there's going to be at least 10 Modern Sonic Stages and Sonic Team mentioning it will be longer than Generations.





















And... um... well I don't know if you guys know this yet, but... this... THIS is a thing that's happening. A Collaboration project with Sonic Forces and it's with... Hooters. I kid you not, I swear to heavens that this is real. Here's the pictures for it:




And here's the source:
[youtube]https://youtu.be/PWcgdYYcqaY?t=1512[/youtube]


I'm... I'm a little baffled really. This is the most OUT OF NOWHERE collaboration I have ever seen for a video game series. Or at least for Sonic. I'm not sure where they're going with this one. Perhaps Hooters is going to offer food-based items on Sonic at their restaurants. I never been to one sadly, haven't seen any in my local area, so I can't say.

I much as Hooters is... an interesting concept... I hope there's NO Hooters Outfit for the Avatars OCs. I'd feel like that would be out of place.
Except for maybe Rouge the Bat...

I'm not sure what to feel. Honestly it's not something permanent or mandatory for Sonic Forces so I don't really care, but SEGA of Japan... what are you doing? No, seriously, SEGA of Japan did this. Not Europe as some people were saying for some reason.

Sorry for the double post!

[youtube]M3s3l5ZMj7E[/youtube]

Some clips of the songs from the game. Apparently both Fist Bump and Theme of Infinite will be over 4 minutes long.
Also a remix of White Jungle too.

[youtube]w9MLw6-08PU[/youtube]

And this is orchestra music for the title screen and world map if I'm hearing correctly. And holy... this sounds magnificent!
If there's more orchestra tracks in Forces, the OST is going to be legendary. I already love all of the tracks so far!

I miss the merge double post feature...

EDIT: An interesting game theory on what another player thinks Infinite's true identity is.

[youtube]dJ-Dfh7lbgE[/youtube]

INFINITE = A DIFFERENT DIMENSION TAILS?
Well he does bring up interesting points, but I DOUBT that's the case. Too random, but Infinite kinda is FOX-like in appearance.

Also some of Forces Stage themes were uploaded too. Enjoy the tracks!

TGS Interview.

Honestly nothing really new except that Classic Sonic will be hanging out with Tails in the Main Story, not to mention there's no Classic Sonic and Avatar Tag Team Stages.

And they confirmed 100% that Mania and Forces are connected. Really? We knew that ages ago... honestly they're being very tight-lipped about Forces. I wouldn't mind if they showed off concept art of a new stage or at least show if any Modern Sonic characters would be semi-playable.

I like the concept of eggman succeeding.

I also am pretty sure the shadow levels are just sonic levels. like episode metal in s4e2.

They also did say there's also an exclusive stage just for Shadow as well.

Well found an interview with Sonic Team on the thoughts of Sonic Adventure 3:

https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2017/9/19/16333174/sonic-adventure-3-will-never-happen

Which may not happened unless it can evolve and advanced the idea of a Sonic games, which honestly kinda seems hypocritical to me. Interesting fans have been asking for a true Sonic Adventure 3 game for years and it's the most highly request Sonic game they want to see next.

I do love the Sonic Adventure games and I would love them to polish and refine the Adventure formula so it can be the best in the Adventure titles in terms of gameplay. I honestly wanted that back for years. I like the boost style a bit, like in Sonic Rush, but I want to see a return to it even just once and if SA3 would be the final Adventure title game.

Well that, and... please bring Chao Garden back! I love that little game mode! Better heck, make a spin-off game featuring them! I would buy it. I love monster/critter raising games like Monster Rancher, Pokemon, and Digimon.

We got Sonia Mania which was a return to classic, and I loved it a 8 out of 10 for it and being the second favorite 2D Sonic game, though I wished it burrowed the transformation ability from Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (that was one of the best parts of the game).

Maybe we'll SA3 one day in the future.

Which is kinda funny in Sonic X where Dr. Eggman is telling the truth about something (I forgot) and everyone glares at Knuckles and says don't you dare say anything and Knuckles looked confused as he didn't say anything nor believes Eggman that time, but Sonic says "I trust him" (cause Eggman is telling the truth and Sonic knows it as he knows his arch-enemy well) and everyone is so confused and going "WHAT?!".

Poor Knuckles never catches a break. Though I think Knuckles has wised up a bit, I know in the Archive Comics Knuckles is quite tactical smart and I hope to see a bit of that in Forces.

Well in Knuckles' defense he lived on Angel Island all alone for how many years? Eggman was the first outsider he's met so how was he suppose to know if he's good or bad? Plus can be a convincing actor at times.

Not only that I think Knuckles' gullible nature stems from the fact he's naive as well as his willingness to give folks a second chance. I would say he's got some street smarts on him, but I don't expect him to be an expert with science and technology that much. In a way a country guy.

He lives in the forest and woods so he's got some agriculture knowledge too. He's not dumb, he's just naive, hot-headed, and a forgiven guy too much at times. I mean in Sonic Adventure, he didn't initial believe Eggman when he told him Sonic was going after the Master Emerald but when he saw Sonic hold a Chaos Emerald in his hand and from Knuckles' PoV looked like a shard of the Master Emerald it's a little wonder Knuckles thought otherwise.

Then again he's quick temper does get him into trouble.

And speaking of Boom Amy, it's on and off with me. Most of the time I do like her new personality, but it becomes obnoxious at times as well. I wonder if Main Series Amy would be better if she's more restrain on her feelings for Sonic and has history smart like Boom Amy? Would be nice to see Amy mature like that a bit.

Also, how would Sticks be like in the main series Sonic games? There was that comic crossover where Sticks met the Main Universe Sonic gang and seemed to fit in with the craziness of the situation.

Shaodow the Hedgehog is confirmed to be playable!... as DLC in "Shadow the Hedgehog: Episode" in Sonic Forces.

[youtube]Kr1HBT0zzYc[/youtube]

"Get EPISODE SHADOW to uncover the untold story of the new villain, Infinite, and rediscover three updated stages playing as Shadow. Plus, play as Shadow in over 10 Modern Sonic based stages! Including 3 exclusive stages for Shadow.

Experience the full story behind the new villain's rise to power and as you find renewed replayablity across Modern Sonic stages. The fate of Sonic the Hedgehog's world is in your hands – Join the Uprising."

"A first look at gameplay of Sonic Forces' Episode Shadow add-on! 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."

A part of Shadow's stage looks pretty tricky to get through. Loving the Biolizard Boss theme remix for his gameplay, though sadly the stage looks really bland on some parts of it. Just a small part of the stage, I hope that's in early development.

Also it will be Free DLC to get and on Launch Day. Nice.

EDIT: Which is confirmed to be in development. The Shadow Stage is just a WIP one. They just wanted to show off he's playable.
"Gameplay seen here is work-in-progress, and was captured from the PC version of the game."

I wonder if they'll add DLC for the other villains, too? I would be cool to play as Infinite, Chaos, Metal, and Zavok in Forces.

Yeah Sonic Chronicles did not age well. '>.>
And the design choices were wonky and not good.

Right now a good Sonic RPG fangame, called Tales of Mobius (which I recommend you check out), with a Tales battle system or LMBS works well with it. Though it does need a lot of polish.

I'll alright I didn't have high expectations for Sonic Boom, but I overly enjoying it. The jokes are good, though it's sometimes hit and miss. Why couldn't the games have this level of comedy? And good gameplay designs?

And... no love for SaTAM?

And to Phi, it's fine to criticize. We do need it to improve. But blatantly over-criticizing and judging something that's not out yet and just discarding isn't the right call. It's not wrong to love thing despite it's flaws, I'm not blind to it, I just give it a chance and see if I like or not. Do I want to see things to fix and improve obvious flaws? Yes. Though your comment was a tad standoffish, I do think it's insight not to be overly faithful and ignore flaws.

There is the saying of 'never judge a book by its cover', then again there's also 'fool me once, shame on me. fool me twice, shame on you'.

Sonic Forces we're given bits and pieces of it and not the whole package. They're putting their heart and soul here and making the game the way they have it setup with the atmosphere and direction.

Alright I'm going to stop there. Any other comments I'm just going to read and back off. No need to discuss or continue this debate anymore.

Another reason why I like the Avatar parts of the game is it's design choice being reminiscence of the Adventure and Heroes style gameplay, which are my favorite of the Sonic games.

Though I do think Classic Sonic is a mistake here. Should've left him out honestly, unless his role and story is fitting for Forces instead of just connecting Mania and Forces together.

Plus did people HATE the boost gameplay from the Sonic Rush titles? I mean that's like where it started from, right?

Honestly I hope Tikal comes back. We sort of know she's still around, she is among my favorite Sonic characters. Mighty, too. Is there a reason they don't want him to return to Sonic games? Would he be too similar to Sonic if they did?

I'm aware of Penders... the intolerable egotistical manic... who's responsible for Sonic Chronicles never getting a sequel and Shade and the rest of the Nocturnal Tribe being axed out of existence because they were a "homage" to his characters and story. Sure the first Sonic RPG wasn't all that bad and the story simple, but I enjoyed it and the cliffhanger made it excited for the next chapter. Nope. I would've loved to see them improve the RPG Battle System for Sonic, few things I didn't quite enjoy a bit.

I wonder how the IDW comics will handle it? Well they continue off or reboot the story? I sure hope Honey the Cat is shown more, I mean she only appeared recently and I want to see more of her (plus she's originally a video game character so that can use her) and I don't know if Sally and the rest will come back.

I always thought Sonic the Hedgehog had good stories from its modern games (especially Black Knight, I loved that one), I'm not expected Shakespeare-level and quality and complexity here, just simple and easy to follow stories. Though Shadow's was a tricky one, with SA2 and Shadow the Hedgehog, but I got it in the end.

Sonic Forces might have the best story for its series, at the very least an entertaining one. You guys seem VERY nit-picky for every little detail and not enjoy yourselves which might be why I'm frustrated... you guys are like my dad. Even on vacations he never enjoys himself and gets angry and negative for whatever small detail, it really brings down everyone's spirit. Just enjoy yourself, don't complain about everything which I don't want to be like that.

Well to each to their own. I recall Amazon being temporarily sold out on Sonic Forces for pre-order for a short while (though that's what I heard so I don't know or can confirm that) and some people have been praising Forces for the most part. Still looking forward to more news on the game. November can't come soon enough.

New trailer dropped.

[youtube]XW4kjZqtY4A[/youtube]
EDIT: Now with English Subs!

Currently in Japanese, but the story is quite amped up here. Also Rouge the Bat is confirmed to be in the game.
Along with customized Animals as NPCs in the background and other members of the Resistance.

The story is looking very interesting. I got to know what's going on.

Also some news or mostly rumors to state that Knuckles is either a captain or leader of the Resistance forces.
And apparently one of the rumors mentioned we've SEEN Infinite before... as in before the events of Sonic Forces. Though not in a way you would expect. Then again people have theorized Infinite as either a personification of the Phantom Ruby or a Sonic character corrupted by it.

Silver also will travel back in time to fix his future and there will be several missions around it where you might end up helping him.

And ANOTHER character from Classic Sonic's Era will appear as well it seems?

Easter Eggs as well with you do certain combinations for your Avatar that Sonic will comment on. Not to mention this game working title WAS going to be called "Sonic Generations 2" at first before they changed it to Sonic Wars, but changed again. I guess it was under consideration for the title of the game.

And... Wisps are important to the story as well? Umm... I know some of the Wisps stayed behind on Sonic's world as they liked Sonic and his world, but really?

Last note is, seeing as everyone could guess why Shadow is a "villain" in the game, apparently both Chaos AND Zavok are fighting for the same reasons for the story. If it were Metal Sonic, it would make more logical sense however what reason is it? I don't see Chaos hating Sonic so the story here is... complex for lack for a more compelling word.

Well better to get all of the DLC with any version than just exclusive Day One versions (I recall how ticked people were for SSJ4 Vegeta for Xenoverse 1 when they did that).

Also there seems to be a "Shadow the Hedgehog" outfit for the Custom Hero.
Though it's mostly a rumor or a banner in the Australian website for the game. SEGA hasn't confirmed if this is true or not.

Looking forward to it.
