It's interesting how Unleashed had separate daytime and nighttime level designers, whereas Forces literally has more playstyles than it has level designers.

Can anyone confirm?

Well that explains a lot!

[Gabz Girl]

That explains a lot indeed. Less level designers than Sonic Colours and Sonic Lost World even, dayum. This is sad. 

Speaking of levels, I don’t think I gave my opinion on those yet. They are incredibly lacklustre. Sonic Colours had less stages, yet each of them made an impact and looked unique. The stages here are far from unique and they lack...something. Some kind of cool set piece I guess? I know there’s the QTE moments but come on. Don’t even get me started on the rehashing, good Lord.

Yeah and they were inexperienced in Forces case 

[MudHunter]

A reply

So 3 nooby level designers,?

[SonicLegends]

Well then looks like it was a lie about the team that brought us Colors and Generations were doing Forces, but they make the lead designer someone who did freaking Lost World like seriously?

According to those credits images above, Unleashed had three level designers per gameplay style (plus a lead).  Forces has three total for four gameplay styles.

Jyunpei Ootsu - Black Knight, Secret Rings, Lost World, Runners

Shoko Kamiya - Mario and Sonic at Sochi Olympics

Yuya Setogawa - ...

 

Great work, Sonic Team !

[Badnik Mechanic]

Why only 3 inexperienced level designers for 4 gameplay types.

 

Oh look they got me asking Why again.

I was reffering to the daylight stages. The gameplay styles aren't that different in this game.

[Zippo]

No fucking way.

I am fucking convinced they are working on something else already.

There's just no fucking way they aren't.

[The Deleter]

See stuff like this is why I'm wary of the idea that "they just need fresh blood"

Granted, they're still working under Kishimoto, director of Lost World, Colors, and the storybook games, and lead game designer for the latter half

But what good is new talent if they aren't helmed by someone who knows what they're doing with the series in the first place? Or... they just flat-out aren't a good fit for Sonic?

If you'll forgive the pun, I rather think that Modern and Classic are like night and day...

[Celestia]

Kinda feels like a lot of people left the team in the last few years (I wouldn't blame 'em after seeing Boom), assuming they aren't busy with something else.

[Wraith]

So do we know anything about an exodus from Sonic Team or something like that? This all seems really weird. It's like the place got gutted.

There's no just no way they aren't.

Well.. that's generally how it is. They supposedly started Forces soon after SLoW, as it did soon after Generations.

Hopefully they'll use this time.. to RE-THINK EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING.

Same this is really sketchy now learning of this here, just what are they doing? Why would they not pick one of the two lead designers of Colors and Generations for Forces...?

And before looking at the reception of forces, they get too far along in development and whatever they're making sucks because they counted their chickens before they hatched.

[Diogenes]

Maybe we're in the death spiral now.

Series struggles, staff gets fired or moves on, next game is worse because of it, leading to more staff leaving, leading to worse games, etc.

With Sonic Forces low price and how little content there is in the actual game, it makes sense. I said this the other day but this entire game feels like a filler title.

Or maybe this is all there is.

Maybe. There is the Sonic the Hedgehog movie in 2 years.

How long are we going to keep this up, though? Didn't we say the same thing back when Lost World released?

The live action/CGI mix? Oh god, can't wait to see how well that turns out..
