[Red Hot Jack]

I know why people are never happy, they wanted his gameplay with guns and vehicles back. That would have been perfect.

Hell no. That's an awful read of why I think that screenshot is crap.

This looks soooo fake. But somehow believable

Welp the obstacles are literally Infinite's cubes.

And lol at the video title.

'Cause that's exactly what everyone has been saying.

Also it's the third time I see a section like this in the game, or pretty similar to this. Talk about being uninspired.

It's also a standard trope of Dimps games, I'd like to remind people.

Eeh.

EDIT 2:
It's also in one of everyone's favourite stages :3

Hey, here's a thought.
A popular theory on why Shadow and the rest are evil again is because Infinite took them from their original timelines when they were still evil.
Now we get 3 levels with Shadow based on his backstory.... Which would take place during Sonic adventure 2.

Then remembeing that Sonic Forces seems to be repeating the same levels from Sonic Generations again like Green Hill, and (Very likely) Chemical plant and Sky Sanctuary, I suppose that means Shadow's levels take place in City escape.

 

...And now I'm wondering if Shadow's the only playable villain....
Are we going to get a Chaos DLC storyline?
Pfft, that'd be funny. I suppose Metal Sonic and Shadow can easily copy Classic and Modern Sonic's gameplay, but Chaos and Zavok will be harder to place.
Maybe they get the Tag team levels. Yay, Zavok and Chaos fistbumping each other.

All this stuff is probably unlikely, but it's fun to think about it regardless.

Chaos's arms could equal the hook of the Avatar (nee the Enerbeam X3,) to swing around, and its punch could be akin to the Wispon.

Not enough pits to be a DIMPS level.

But eeh indeed.

This section is clearly carefully built around Shadow's unique ability we're gonna see in a few minutes that worked oh so well in a previous Sonic game.

..I just wanted some HQ artwork today. : P

Yeah so Shadow has  multi chanin homming attack that carries his momentum, that's his unique abillity

[Diogenes]

Wow that manages to be even worse than I expected.

[Osmium]

So is Shadow supposed to be broken as fuck or 

[Marcello]

Did SEGA just unlearn how to unveil things or have they just given up on Forces?

[Sonikko]

Very nice, shitty level design as usual aside, that stage loops and every loop is exactly the same and lasts 30 seconds?

I thought we had hit rock bottom already, wew.

I'm not sure what you were expecting. It's Sonic but better.

Wait, "carries his momentum" in what way? He bounces straight up after the last enemy just like a regular homing attack.

[James Cloud]

They confirmed in description its a work in progress not the complete thing cool.

It's garbage-tier level design constructed mostly out of gray boxes offering nothing beyond Sonic's already bad gameplay but a homing attack that acts like the light dash and doesn't seem to serve any purpose beyond looking flashy.

[Dee Dude]

Well...it's not much coming from the official channel but it looks alright.

Otherwise, I'm guessing he'll pretty much be Modern Sonic with a fancy light attack and such which I suppose will be rather fine seeing it won't be better bringing back guns and vehicles lol. 

I do appreciate the touches they added such as the Biolizard remix which sounds like Green Hill's take on and remembering Shadow's golden aura.

[Blue Wisp]

Can you fucking stop giving Modern Boost gameplay awkward sluggish 2D sections? 

Holy fucking shit SEGA.

[Marcello]

I think Shadow just flies during his boost instead of skating :-/

What was better?

Like Jesus Christ, I guess Shadow gameplay is pressing a button and literally everything explodes. There's literally no attempt to make a game here. 

[Meta77]

Well the usual nay Sayers are at it again I can say I just watched this at work at 60fps and it looks fucking amazing. Will be buying multiple copies. I'm hyped

its just for enemy chains....the homming attack works basically works the same the other 90% of the time, no need for the hperbolic statementss already lmao

[Detective Kaito]

Yep, the level design is just as bad as I've feared. This homing attack thing reminds me of Sonic's homing attack in Lost World. Well, at least he has something special.
