Nope. Not TGS. Unfortunately. They have more cool stuff.

Going to EGX Expo.

Aha! That makes two of us!

Did anyone here post Hardcore Gamer's preview?

You know, we should really set up a meeting where gamers everywhere can come together and come to a unanimous decision concerning at what point modern Sonic the Hedgehog games had become or will be “finally good again” just so we stop this annoying cycle and the jokes that comes with it whenever a new installment is introduced.

The preview could have been anything and I'd be happy to see this opening line.

Morning in the UK or what? Just want to know.

He later posted that Famitsu skipped Forces this week and would be covered next week.

[Graystripe2000]

The next issue will also reveal 10 new games apparently.

The news is that there is no news.

About what I expected with our current reveal schedule.

[Graystripe2000]

Should probably remind everyone that next week is also Tokyo Game Show.

[ShadowSJG]

Is there news this week or not?

So, are we getting that Famitsu article on Forces today?

[Graystripe2000]

Can someone find the tweet where he said Famitsu skipped Forces the previous week.

According to Woun, no Famitsu today.

Here's another preview, this time from PAX West.

Something minor I noticed while browsing the Argos page for the Forces pre-order (all versions of the game), when it mentions the Shadow avatar costume it says there are different colour variants of it.

Quote

Pre-order Sonic Forces and receive the Shadow the Hedgehog costume. Accessorise your custom character like Shadow the Hedgehog, the iconic anti-hero. Your custom character will speed across stages looking fierce and fiery as Shadow! There are three colour variations in total.

Wonder if the variations will be random recolouring or if it will be Blue/Red and White/Teal to make the outfits look like Sonic and Silver.

Have a few friends at EGX and just noticed one post this: 

 

Really, Sonic Team? Reeeeeeeally?

[Sean]

What? That honestly can't be right at all. There's no way th--

oh.

[Wraith]

That's a weird change because that's not even negligence. You'd have to actively take that out unless this is a new engine(it's def not).

Not sure why they did it.

[Graystripe2000]

This was found a while ago, and it was probably done to make the game harder or to compensate for the lack of lives.

[Sean]

Nice Sonic 1 8bit reference Sega

[Tracker_TD]

I'd heard about it before, but I honestly though it just applied to the Modern sections and didn't care since they always lob hundreds of rings at you anyway. But Classic!?

That kind of makes sense. I think the solution there was less rings though. Not none. 

They don't give you lives and they don't help you when you get hit so now I feel like they made Rings too unimportant.

Dark souls sonic edition lol. Now this will be fun unless it's not meant that way.. It's death egg from sonic 2 all over again

[Bobnik]

Wait... I thought it was a known thing that both Classic and Modern can't recollect rings since E3. Huh.

But yeah, a huge amount of rings in levels are meaningless outside of score unless you buy avatar items with rings (which wasn't confirmed, but it would make some sort of sense).
