To be fair, Runners Adventure has not been formally announced yet.

Also this 25th anniversary thing will be going on well into the 26th anniversary.

Not all stages are doom and gloom, looks like we're getting day time stages?

Iizuka: おそらく皆さんが想像されていないであろうキャラクターになります。その第３のキャラクターが物語のキーにもなってきますし、ゲームの大まかな特徴を体現するキャラクターとだけ言っておきます。Ｅ３ではプレイアプルで出展する予定でいます。

Third character will be showed on E3.

Okay fine, maybe there is a genuine reason for them to restrict camera controls after all ? (still bugs me though)

Also, it looks like the 3rd gameplay style might involve features of classic and modern combined...? Idk what to make of this one.

Hmmm, shame SEGA likely won't have their own livestream of a conference for such. Unless there's info suggesting otherwise.

---> Eggman conquered about 99% of the planet

---> Sonic and a resistance group fighting against him

 Its Pre-SGW all over again, (now we need the egg grapes)

also, in development since 2013?, which of the previous games had such a long development time? i don't recall one

 

[Mark1]

I recall the last few mainline Sonic games being in development for 2-3 years at a time. 

Lost World was only 2 years after Generations?

[BubbleButt TV]

Well this explains a lot ?

[Shaddy Zaphod]

Hey, all of those were either playable, or would have been if they didn't have a bullshit motion control scheme that sucks and is completely unresponsive.

 

"What? Hating Secret Ri- No, I don't hate Secret Rings, what are you talking about? "

[Salamander]

Sounds to me like the third style is Fusion Sonic.

[Shaddy Zaphod]

Uh...Fusion Sonic?

Mind filling us in here? Because I'm picturing a 6 foot-tall hedgehog with four arms and a guest voice that only shows up for one episode

Pretty sure he's just saying that the third gameplay style is going to be a fusion of Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic styles, hence it's "Fusion Sonic" style.

[Radiant Hero Ike]

Probably a mix between Classic and Modern. Like uh... Modern Sonic in Adventure, maybe.

[Indigo Rush]

If Classic and Modern actually unironically fuse together like some sort of DBZ knock-off I'm going to scream bloody murder and chuck my controller at the nearest hospital window

[Mark1]

That would be quite interesting if the fusion idea was true   

Good way to bring adventure style into it

This is actually really surprising to me since he was the director of Colours and LW (not sure why that bullet point singles out Lost World, but I digress). I figured he'd stick to the Nintendo-exclusives.

I didn't like the phrasing I had originally for that bullet point, and it's the only game he directed. So...yeah. =P

[Shaddy Zaphod]

Fusion Sonic.

Clenched fists are really hard to draw with Sonic BTW

[Red Hot Jack]

Unexpected character, uh? Well, nobody is expecting an existing character like Shadow or Metal Sonic or Silver, so there's that.

Maybe Wikipedia is misinformed or there's something else going on here, in which case sorry for this tangent, lol.

Nuclear Sonic!

Watch it be something like theres a rip in time and out comes a hybrid of classic and modern Sonic.

And we shall call him... Trevor.

Wait, it says he directed Colors too?

...I blame Twitter. lol

I EVEN LOOKED AT THE PAGE TOO GOD DAMMIT.

[Nepenthe]

So we're getting the guy who directed Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World back in the director's seat for this one?

Except there's a big difference, those games were made in 2 years each, this one has been in development for 5 years, so I would at least give it a chance.

Do we know how long Forces has been in development?
