Thats because people are afraid of change, while mania does same old and plays it safe. And thats ok, we need both side of the coin. Sonic Forces is still going to sell more.

Sonic Mania does alot more of the same old than I thought it would.

I really wanted to call it "the real Sonic 4" but it's just as much as a nostalgia machine as Generations / Forces is.

Sonic Advance is going to stay Sonic 4 for me :)

The only good ones are the bunny, bird and maybe bear?


The rest are useless.

Bunny will let you damage boost through stuff more, Bird will let you straight up bypass things, and bear will most likely clear paths better

My biggest concern is the OC's gameplay. The grappling hook and jetpack(?) sound fun, but I'm not sure if that's something I would want in a Sonic game.

People say this is a pandora's box.

It is in a sense. And I don't think they realize what they are doing.

Most sonic games are going to have to be this now. If this things is good, every sonic game that comes out that isn't a spin off will come with the question when is the new sonic forces because kids will want a xenoverse 2.

I hope this doesn't restrict what they can and can't make in future.

From the trailer it looks like

Classic Sonic -> 2D platforming gameplay
Modern Sonic -> Adventure styled Sonic speed levels
Fursona -> 3D platforming levels reminicent of crash/SM 3D world

?!

What trailer did you watch? The Fursona gameplay is them running around with a flamethrower slowly killing enemies in 3D and then infinite jumping in 2D and using a grappling hook to swing around. Nothing about any of it resembled Crash or 3D World. The thing it most looked like was Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Boom.

Mother of god, the absolute madmen.
 
I wonder if Original the Character will have a "canon" name? Y'know, like Link, Ness, Crono, etc.

Regardless, it's gonna be hard to resist the urge to make something hideously out of place...
 

YAWN

Ask me which Shakespeare novel is best
Woah, wait.
Why can't I make xXDarklazer69Xx the Otter?

Fuck this shit.

Actually a great idea for the core fanbase of DeviantArt users TBH.

Would be interesting if they used data to aggregate the most commonly used features and make that the next official, canon shitty friend in the series.

They should try and make all the money by spinning this off into a Sonic Destiny game.

Bahahaha, they actually did it

Since the custom characters rely more on gadgets this would make a nice stepping stone to get to that Sonic fan character MMORPG people are clamoring for (or atleast those lost Toon Town players probably are)

I gotta say those movement abilities sound pretty lame. The only one that has a unique movement ability is bird and it's just a double jump. That sucks.

I lol'd so hard because my first thought was "who wants this?" but at the same time, I know that there are plenty of Sonic fans that want this for real.

I can say the idea that the "new character" in Sonic was just a character you can create is probably the best way to handle it.

They should just legit make sonic xenoverse.


They should just do it.

You can play as everyone even sonic, but isn't integral to the plot, and your character is.

And Tru...Silver comes from the future , to prevent the fuckshit that caused sonic 06 or some new catastrophy.

It's even worse than I ever could have imagined. It won't be nearly as offensive if level design and mechanics are solid but let's face it, they won't be.
 
Somehow the sheer audacity of this has been enough to make me consider buying the game soon after release instead of waiting for a sale. I want to make my dumb quasi-ironic OC while it's hot to do so.
