(OLD) Sonic Forces - Sunset Heights Open World

  • Опубліковано 12 лют 2019
  • UPDATE: i decided to release most of my unfinished forces mods on github, which also includes this one. i don't recommend using this as a base for... anything really, but it's a neat curiosity: github.com/ecksdii/forces-arc...
    This was basically me in 2019, messing around with terrainfbx and TagTools for a few hours until I got a result that wouldn't crash the game on boot. This was never going to be a proper mod/project, since a lot of these assets are mainly meant to be in the background, not to serve as actual playable areas.
    If you want something that extends the original level layouts and actually works, then go play Sonic Forces Re-imagined.
    Original description:
    I was messing around with the terrain files and using them as collision and I somehow got it working. I'm probably not going to release this due to a lot of problems, but anyway, enjoy what I've made so far! Also sorry about the lag, even with a low end rfl mod, the game doesn't like my laptop lol

    It's pretty sad to know how SEGA could improve the game.
    Sonic Forces had a lot of potential, but they wasted everything. I had fun playing it, but it got boring (and i played it just for a few days because the game was from my cousin) with the time.

    @brandonj_300 5 років тому +67

    I'm not really getting why people are acting like any of this could have actually been used for level design. Most of the background models are far too low quality to be used as anything other than background detail but even if that weren't an issue I just don't see how you could make any meaningful or interesting level design out of any of this. I get that most of the levels in Forces were lacking but the only real way to improve them would be to, like, actually make new level design instead of grabbing random background assets and sticking them together.

    • @ecksdii
      @ecksdii  5 років тому +29

      I agree that this can't be used for real level design because it originally wasn't meant to be used for anything in the levels. Also I think that, mostly, fans always praise any mod made for Forces, no matter how good or bad it is, calling it better than Sonic Team and stuff, and that kinda annoys me. This isn't worthy of being called "better than SEGA" because it's a really basic mod, just terrain used as collision and that's it.

    God to think this could’ve been real. Fill it up with enemies and things to do, this would’ve been amazing. Such potential wasted on time constraints 😞 and people saying this wouldn’t have worked, in its current state no, but given time and in fixing the terrain, it would’ve been perfect. When people say sonic shouldn’t be open world I strongly disagree. Sonic is the one character who would benefit most from open world. With a move set of boost and parkour like in lost world, with plenty of things to do, it could hands down be a fantastic game

    If Sonic Frontiers Will adopt the Open World, I think they would fix or create de Mape as extensions of the acts in reverse order, like the Sonic Unleashed phases and acts but with the Hub Worlds conected with the acts in diferent visions, in a large scale, but with no direct conection with the actual boost phases. It would be like a map that you wont see the phases itself, but a giant map with Compatible elements, in puzzles, mini games, exploration and an possible create sections of plateform around the Islands. It's something inside the Character's point of vision of World, as Sonic Itself. Like Sonic and the Black Knight phases, but not only one Space for gameplay and then a giant map away with no interactive. Thanks for who make this video. It made me imagine thinks for now kkkkkk.

      As I said in the description, I probably won't release this due to problems mostly with the collision itself, and more importantly: there is just no gameplay, no gimmicks, no nothing. Sure it may be fun for someone to just run around and explore the stage(hell i've done so myself, out of pure boredom), but it has no goal or anything to be considered a full level mod, so I'm sorry but I won't release it :/

    This was my favorite area in the game and just seeing sonic run across the bridge in the background makes me wish it was part of the level. Ugh so much potential in this game wasted!

    Are you joking? They packed so many assets nto one little level, and just made a level that lasts a minute & a half!?! Excuse me while I destroy sonic team
