Yeah, it's safer that way. Remember last time he made a slight meme joke about it?

Didn't end well for anybody.

I maintain that the Sonic Twitter did nothing wrong there. But that just goes to prove your point, I guess.

Arby's is at it again.

so, i've been with this stuck in my head, the ones paying at least some atention to the social media AR game  must have noticed the amount of references made to the number 8, like in the sanic post, that morse code, among others. Now with this new forces trailer that debuted today we got THIS:

The first time i saw it i didn't realised, but when i saw the trailer another time it sparkled in my mind "hey, look, number 8 again", so, is this where the "8 clues" were leading to or this in the trailer is just More Clues... ? (or am i reading too much into this shot of the trailer)

[NegaMix]

My guess is that the constant 8's everywhere are either teasing more info in August...

...or they were all just leading up to Infinite's name (since '8 = sideways infinity symbol') and reveal in this trailer.

[Ellipsis-Ultima]

What if it's both though?

Granted 8 sideways revealed Infinite's name in the trailer, but the 8 could forshadow more information in August since... Gamescom is that month, and we could get more info about Forces at that time.

[NegaMix]

Could be. There's usually some Sonic info coming from Gamescom, right? I remember them showing a new trailer for Generations back in 2011.

[NikoS]

Yes it could be both, and Mania releases in August too. (everything is connected) [cue x-files theme]

[TheOcelot]

YES, YES THEY ARE!

Nice idea, but I don't think it's meant to reference the number eight. In the trailer the symbol starts out looking like an "8" but then rotates to the below image which represents the "infinity" symbol:

The new villain in Forces is called "Infinite". So the symbol is a reference to the new villain, not to the number 8.

thanks, i already knew that Infinite was the name of the new villain, but what caught my attention was the decision of showing the symbol in another position (resembling an 8) instead of revealing it straightfoward as the infinity symbol. (we could argue that it was a "visual effects" based decision but yeah, that was my point.)

[Mauricius]

I think that's actually supposed to be number 8. The upper circle is smaller when it's in the 8 position (like in the number), but both circles are the same size when it becomes the infinity symbol.

I've already mentioned it in the e3 trailer topic but my theory is that Infinite has the 8th chaos emerald embedded in his chest. Or he's the "embodiment" of the 8th chaos emerald.

I mean, it's a game series with 7 chaos emeralds being the macguffins 99% of the time. Then they show a dude with an emerald-appearing glowing shape in his chest, with the infinity symbol *purposely* both normal and sideways, forming an "8."

#the turn out for both games all over was amazing#we hope that those of you who tried them really liked the games#but the road moves onward as we march closer to release day#both teams are hard at work so you can play these games really soon#because fun is infinite

 

Mike asks the most important question...

 

[TheOcelot]

#Suddenly the opening to Sonic 06 makes a bit more sense#it's really just Eggman's idea of a first date#...by... destroying parts of a city#romantic!#we're almost back up to speed after E3#but that doesn't mean the fun is over#there's still plenty of good stuff to come#how soon?#sorry to say but you'll have to keep on waaaaaitiiiiing

 

[Big Panda]

Bless you, Mike.

[TheOcelot]

#national onion rings day#eat them all#you probably already gave up on that new year's diet anyway#that's right - we know you better than you know yourself#also...#it's our 26th Anniversary tomorrow!#see you then...

 

 

 

This guy knows how to draw!

And they dropped another clue under fun is infinite 

 

[Jango]

Death Egg Sigma?

[HywelAtTheMoon]

Death Egg Sigma and Knuckles? Sounds interesting... 

[Lord-Dreamerz]

We'll never look at the Sonic Heroes team icon the same way again...

#huh. #hope you're all having a good week #thanks once again for all the birthday wishes last Friday #we've been hiding in the dungeons of sega #cooking up some fun new things that we may be able to show you pretty soon #they're not game announcements #we are holding our promise to keep Mania still under wraps enough #so when you finally play it (soon!) you'll have surprises

The tags on Tumblr seem to indicate they have a surprise coming soon, and it isn't game-related.

Possibly a fan event? It would be the latest it's ever been announced, but they've held it as late as October before. To say nothing of the times they've given only a week or so's notice.

[TheOcelot]

Love this! 

Dat music!

 

[Forte-Metallix]

Happy 'Murica Day!
