Sonic fans seem eager to die for Sonic Forces, but is there anyone out there that genuinely believes this Casino Forest gameplay looks good? To be fair, the Classic Sonic gameplay appears to be the worst of the title’s three-pronged suite, but when it’s literally one-third of your game, is that really acceptable – especially in the wake of the outstanding Sonic Mania?
Look, we’ll let you make up your own mind, but everything about this stage seems so uninspired to us. Just our opinion.

Looks like Sonic 4 - not really a good thing. Still hoping the game turns out to be fun.
It looks a little slower than I would like; and you wont find me defending sonic's flaws from the last decade; but this doesn't look awful to me? I think Sonic team desperately need new ideas on worlds though. Only so many casinos Sonic can visit in his career. Should speak to Nintendo who always create fresh inventive worlds for mario
Looks ok to me. If it's as good as the 2D sections in Generations then that's fine by me.
I didn't know until recently that there was a lot of 2D in this game. I really really wish they'd just focus on 3D for these games and leave the 2D ones to Mania's team.
Looks ok to me, i like the fact he's running not so fast, the 3D levels go so fast you barely have time to react to enemies that are coming up in the path, that frustrates the heck out of me, i reckon Forces is going to be pretty decent, not great but not awful either, which would be a victory for Sonic Team after so many sub par games lol
It doesn't look too bad, but it isn't very exciting to look at. Casino Night Zone in Sonic 2 is far more visually appealing and has all the same bells and whistles seen here. Good to see them showing off new stages, though.
I don't know. I feel like the 2D portion of Forces is going to be lambasted after Mania.
This doesn't look...bad? It isn't Sonic Mania but really how could it be? It isn't crazy fast but that makes platforming easier.
Looks like I expected really. Same as those Sonic 2 HD videos I posted before. Sonic just seems to look better in pixel art lol.
Still, doesn't look awful in this footage. Still hoping the game will be alright.
I mean it looks pretty good? Don't get me wrong it doesnt look inspired, but surely not worth all that hate?
Doesn't really make sense lol. A casino forest? XD It does look very empty too :/. Let's hope the other levels are better!
"Sonic fans seem eager to die for Sonic Forces"
Sammy seems eager for Sonic Forces to die.
Not buying this, not even Sonic Mania but it doesnt look that terrible to me.
@starman292 Did you just say a Sonic level doesn't make sense? :S
Looks like Generations to me, which is fine. I don't mind if the physics aren't a 100% match (I really liked the Advance trilogy), just as long as it's a reasonable enough approximation. The game is still looking like a 7/10 imo, maybe a 6/10 at worst.
I'm not sonic connoisseur and it's not the most amazing thing, but it looks fun enough.
I don't think this looks like awful gameplay. However, the level design in the foreground (as opposed to the background) looks a bit bland. If they're going for casino, especially on next-gen consoles, why not go for something much flashier for a casino? They could do more with this.
@kyleforrester87 Never understood why they dont put in highend pixelart some time it just and look works better.
Honestly, this doesnt look bad at all, I think its just cos the colour pallette is so dark and usually we expect Sonic to be super bright and neon, more I see of it, the more im actually looking forward to the game, It'll be a very nice companion alongside Mania
Sammy, are you able to advise if this is 60 fps? That will be the deal maker or breaker
@twenty90seven Yeah, looks 60fps to me.
Looks and sounds about as bland as they could have made it
I don't see what's bad about the gameplay. It looks like 2D Sonic. The only issue is how dull it looks for a supposed Casino. It fits with the game's theme, but that doesn't do it any favors from a visual standpoint.
Looks ok, music could be better though.
Definitely could look a heck of a lot worse. Don't think it'll come close to Mania but it looks pretty fun to me.
Looks boring. Not exactly offensive, but certainly not interesting. It's nuts that there are no enemies.
