THe new evil looks awful

Final Antagonist is literally Coldsteel the Hedgeheg

Final Antagonist is literally Coldsteel the Hedgeheg

I'm honestly thinking in addition to creating your own avatar you probably get to create an evil one as well.

 

[jett]

This looks like something a 14 year-old fanart-drawing Sonic fanboy would come up with. Fifteen years ago. While listening to Linkin Park.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

End boss was created by hitting the random button a few times on the character creator.

 

[TheDinoman]

Chaos looks really silly here lol

 

[PKrockin]

This made me laugh really hard. I thought it was a joke.

Spoiler

game could still be decent

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Shadow/Chaos/Metal Sonic? Fantastic! Everything else...... ehh. If the custom character gameplay is fun I guess it'll be fine, I just don't want it to be a focus but then again I shouldn't really care about the plot in these games anymore.

 

[Cheat Code]

MY BOY CHAOS

 

[jstripes]

The fuck was that last shot with the eyeball

Are we in the '90s again?

 

[Tuck]

I wanted Sonic Generations 2.

They gave me Sonic Generations 2.

 

[Galactic Specter]

All the good Sonic baddies and Zavok forming their own legion of doom sounds interesting.

 

[Vanille]

Does this game only have like two zones or something.

Show some variety Sega.

 

[Rmagnus]

I believe they got it right this time I really do

Is the sonic cycle still a thing?

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Chaos is back :O
And Shadow is with the villains? If I remember right, in the demo Sonic and co. were searching for him in the first stage

 

[Vazra]

Is that the 2006 Sonic gf?

 

[Frozenprince]

Aight.

Now gimme Chao racing back.

 

[Eblo]

Chaos is back :O
And Shadow is with the villains? If I remember right, in the demo Sonic and co. were searching for him in the first stage

Perhaps Modern Shadow is a good guy, but Classic Shadow is still brooding over MARIAAAA

 

[Maebe]

wait why is shadow evil

 

[War Raichu]

I'd rather them not spoil the whole game.

Too many games do that nowadays.

 

[Regginator]

I've never understood why some (most?) Sonic games have this dark tone. He's a fucking blue, comic-like, man-sized hedgehog.... Just make that shit about the gameplay, throw away all these attempts at a story.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

It's been a while but was that last villain Mephiles or some new villain?

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Well...

Their core fanbase will go nuts on this.

 

[The Silver]

Where is the Chao Garden

 

[LordKasual]

Will they please make up their mind about Shadow

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Maybe we're in the timeline where Shadow chose the dark path in his own game, and floating coldsteel over there is actually Black Doom's nephew

 

[Rapscallion]

It's been a while but was that last villain Mephiles or some new villain?

Didn't look like him..

Could be they're just focusing on some villains. No Dark Gaia either.

 

[daffy]

Shadow never really turned good. he was always Vegeta good where deep down you knew he could snap at any moment

 

[ffdgh]

Wasn't expecting chaos 0 to pop up. Cool.

 

[Nishastra]

I wonder what Shadow is mad about now.

Also, how exactly does someone convince Chaos to join a team?

 

[WhateverItTakes]

The villain's name is Infinite.

Had to edit because Literally Infinite would also be a great Sonic villain name

Literalfinity.

Much more excited for this than Mania. Looks great.

Evil shadow

And shadow was evil sonic. Is this full circle or a whole new one.

Wait...

First Circle: O

Two Circles: OO

Which together makes ∞

😱

 

[Eblo]

I wonder what Shadow is mad about now.

Chaos's main concern is over the Chao. Believe.

 

[Data West]

You know they keep citing Generations and Colors when they talk about this game


but I liked Generations and Colors because they were upbeat and fantastical. Where as this shit is the Sonic I dont like the GRIMDARK EVERYTHING IS DESTROYED stuff. It's like they're trying to have their cake with Classic Sonic and eat it too with the setting and storyline.

 

[theultimo]

sonic herrrrroes


looks like complete fanfiction and I love it.

 

[MrBadger]

Oh fantastic, more reused bosses. Chaos 0 looks cool, but my gut instinct is that he's here so they can reuse Perfect Chaos from Generations

Also, give me a thousand edgelord villains over the Deadly Six.

 

[War Raichu]

I hope you fight multiple Chaos forms.

Imagine fighting Chaos 4 (the fish) in a tank of water with classic Sonic wearing the bubble shield

 

[RiZ III]

Looks awesome. Very similar to Generations.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Chaos's main concern is over the Chao. Believe.

Would be neat if there was a Chao Garden, and how good or bad you treated your Chao determined if Chaos would be an ally or enemy.

 

[Nepenthe]

Great, more empty nostalgia that doesn't take into account any sort of meaningful context from the lore and development of the games that happened beforehand.

You said this wasn't Generations 2, Sega. No, the apocalyptic backdrop isn't enough to hide that.

 

[War Raichu]

It's grimdark in a SatAM style not a 2006 style.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

THe new evil looks awful

Looks like it's ripe for creepypasta potential. Serious, looks like some DeviantArt OC for a Sonic creepypasta.

 

[MrBadger]

The writers skimmed his Wikipedia page, noticed he was the main villain of SA1 and just ran with that.

 

[BasilZero]

Oh snap, this is gonna be awesome

SA2 Shadow is back yo!!!!!

 

[OmegaSmash]

Majin Shadow. Nice.

 

[Hero Prinny]

looking forward to this game

 

[Maffis]

Disappointed that the "modern" Sonic is still using the on-rails gameplay.

 

[Ivellios]

This looks like Sonic generation 2, the gameplay seems good

 

[C.Olimar788]

But neither Shadow nor Chaos are evil...? I mean. They definitely don't care, but I DO.

 

[Hitlersaurus Christ]

I'm guessing Original the Antagonist is controlling the others, since I'm pretty sure only Metal Sonic would be working with Eggman after their respective games.

So excited for Chaos though

 

[lord_of_flood]

I don't know why everyone is so down on this. I thought general consensus was that Generations was one of the better modern Sonic titles and that Sega should continue to make Sonic games like it and Colors? Personally, I'm down for more Generations-style gameplay, I really enjoyed it.

I do have to admit that the new evil thing is kind of weird looking though.
