This looks like the 3D Sonic games we know and are used to - none of your wishy-washy mish-mash of eight billion different gameplay styles like you had in Lost World, nor the outrageous shiteyness of Sonic Boom.
Of all the games I'm looking forward to, this is right up there.

The name and logo genuinely make it seem Sonic is about to join the army, navy or air force. I thought seeing him in the Olympics was weird enough!

Named and not shamed! Looking good from here, though perhaps a tad too fast for this old codger.

It looks good but I've come to expect SEGA to mess it up at some-point, we know 2D Sonic is in the game and rumours of Boom Sonic making appearance as well.
Boom Sonic if in the game would be what messes it up but we think from the first trailer that their are possibly 3 Dr. Robotnik's and Sonic Forces have to defeat them.

Sonic Generations is easily the best Sonic game I've played, so I'm all over a similar sort of game. Less of the 2D bits though please - those weren't my cup of tea at all.

Wow, Jay - it sounds like you're the inverse of what you might say was the typical Sonic fan! The 2D bits made Son Gen for me - that's why I'm more up for Son Man than Son For.

They know exactly what they're doing! Sonic fans loooovvvve creating OCs, so this makes a lot of sense.

I bet that's the reason why you can create your own character - so people can put in their favourites from previous Sonic games.

Or: "Hey! We have been terrible at making Sonic characters all these years so why don't you have a go?"

Their is a demo up on the Japanese eShop which is awful apparently and has a weird 1 minute time limit per level.

I haven't read or heard anything complimentary about Sonic Forces at all. The proper Sonic The Hedgehog nuts really seem to hate it, which is disappointing. Games journos are similarly negative, but who gives a flying fuck.

Just played all 2 minutes of the demo and the two Sonic sections seem fine, however the avatar section seemed a bit muh.

If Mania isn't the best Sonic game released this year by a distance, I'll eat my hat. My good hat, at that.
