Sonic Forces Hits Japan On November 9th

Bring it on

November 9th @Damo

I can't say I'm looking forward to it yet but I am looking forward to seeing how it reviews. I really hope it turns out well.To have 2 great Sonic games within a few short months is something that didn't even happen in the 90's.

Best get those panic rooms stocked people!

Japanese Xbox gamers won't have a physical release but at least they'll save 10 yen buying it digitally.

Firstly I need to see reviews for this game and then I want to see it actually running on Nintendo Switch hardware, not a PS4 or Xbox One before i even consider making a purchase.

Unless people review this as an excellent game, I think I'll pass since I personally think this will be another bad Sonic game.

Just in time to troll your loved one with a crappy gift. (potentially)

After bringing out Sonic Mania, there is no point in this game

Oh boy. Let's see if they'll ever reach 250k

@OorWullie And yet they still get a far superior version of the game. Increased resolution and double the frame rate. That latter point being key for a game based on "gotta go fast"

3D sonic games never really clicked with me. I'll stick to Sonic Mania I think.

I hope this doesn't kill the momentum of Sonic Mania!

I was a big fan of Colours and Lost World, but this one is not looking so hot.

A whole whopping ¥10 off for XB1 digital buyers. How generous of Sega. lol

Seriously though. November 9th, not December.

I'd like to remind everyone that 10 yen is .09 USD and .08 Euros. Good job Sega, really great discount.

I'm probably not going to pick up Forces out of pure spite because of the hate at NL's Sonic Forces video.

Too bad that it's November. December would have been better to not get in the way with Mario Odyssey.

Keep that give me xenoblade or skyrim instead

Japanese Xbox One owners

Very funny.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. The last 3 games developed by Sonic Team have been pretty good; Lost World, Generations, and the brilliant Colours. And the music released so far sounds amazing, as usual. So I'm being optimistic.

Despite all the negativity (especially on this site), I'm looking forward to getting this. I enjoy the high-speed 3D levels that have been in since Unleashed.

4K and 60fps on the Xbox One X

720p and 30fps on Switch

I'll use a wait and see approach on Sonic Forces, not that I believe it would be bad but that I don't want to get my hopes destroy if it was.

I'm definitely looking forward to this, I've liked everything I've see so far (gameplay, music, etc.). Already a day one buy for me!

If it was cheaper I'd get it day one. But at full retail and so close to Mario Odyssey, I'll probably get it next year.

Sonic Mania has finally made me a fan of classic Sonic...at some point during Stardust Speedway I was fully realized how much I love it. I basically now have a new old classic franchise to get into like I used to with Mega Man, Mario and all that. If NL ends up giving this a good review once they've played more I will buy Forces, but if they don't I won't.

This'll definitely be a day one purchase for me. I can hardly stand the wait for this game! XD

No Christmas rushing, SEGA, please.
The last time it happened, Sonic had to kiss a human princess and that was the last of his problems during the events of that game.

Nope, I will skip it, as with any Sonic.

Just downloaded Sonic Mania last night and already I regret it. To be fair, I shouldn't be surprised since that is always my response to Sonic games. They LOOK incredibly fun but once you start playing it's just periods of occasionally interacting with the poorly done platforming that interrupts the forward motion of the game. Or maybe it's the forward momentum parts that interrupt the poorly done platforming sections. I'm really not sure. It's fun-ish, as Sonic games tend to be, but they always make me want to play a better game (a Mario or a Mega-Man).

This seems like a suicide mission that this is releasing weeks after Super Mario Odyssey (I know Forces is multiplatform and Sonic still has a large fanbase but you can't deny Mario has a much more promising aim at quality compared to Sonic)

@nab1
It's not a full retail release - it's available for pre-order in the UK for as little as £28.85 for the PS4/Xbone versions, £30.85 for Switch

@Kingrat Thanks, that's good to know. I just made a conversion of the yen price and had thought that was the final price.

@Refurin I'm not sure if this is trolling or just bad play

@Malcrash
Not trolling and sorry if it came across that way. Just expressing my disappointment in my newly downloaded game is all.
