There are no ears in the last second or two of the intro, but apart from that little mistake it looks really great! Much better than anything I can make right now.
Sonic lost his ears LOL That's a mistake that always happens to me when I draw Sonic and then I forgot to draw his ears. But without that mistake the intro is really good and I'm always rewatching it. Good job!
I love the unspoken rule among youtubers, that if there's a big crab in a game, you have to refer to it as a giant enemy crab. But you never draw attention to saying it, you're just stating a fact.
Wow, Space Port looks absolutely gorgeous! Imagine if you didn’t have to blast through these levels so quickly and you could actually explore them more.
Honestly Sonic Forces was sorta like Lost World, clunky gameplay but an amazing OST, I enjoyed sonic forces my only complaint being the sudden edge tone that was in the game…..like seriously, it went from Sonic Mania, which was a colourful, cartoony, fun run. Then suddenly to Sonic Forces, out of nowhere just a OC with the edge levels of your average emo teen with the mind of a massive douche sponge. And the game having some dark moments like “Sonic being presumed dead” like holy shit….. But like Sonic Lost World, this game has memorable stages. And the boss fights were slightly more of a challenge (still a laughing joke though)
Man I don't know why, I've always found boundary breaking creepy. Scenes like seeing the zoom out on the cubes and skyboxes made me shiver. Bugs like the world not loading in games also tend to creep me out really bad. Im wierd.
Same, for some reason every time I see something I’m not supposed to see in a game my heart starts pounding and I return back to the regular game as soon as I can
Sonic forces deserved more. Even if the gameplay sucked I hoped for a cheesy story and they even screwed that up as its just bad. Oh at least the music was good but every sonic game has good music.
People wanted to see if this game decided to keep attention to detail--like older and better Sonic games--in this case, rendering Infinite's face under the mask.
The skybox change at the final boss is because the whole stage from the first two phases is still loaded. Zooming away from the boss fight would activate a trigger to enable/disable the change.
2:47 repeating the same 3D objects is actually very efficient with modern graphics hardware due to a technique called "batching". We are able to essentially upload the object once to the GPU, then upload a list of all the 4x4 matrices for the copies (or if you're really smart, a list of offsets with a single 4x4 matrix!) and then we can just send a command to the GPU saying "draw N objects" - with N being the number of copies on that list. The GPU in its own time will just churn through that list like a powerhouse. Modern GPUs even can see that you're batching multiple copies of the same objects and draw them all at the same time - very fast!
The intelligence you displayed with these last three comments has earned you a subscriber. The bit about Eggmans windshield is actually really well spotted, and as a (amateur) modeller, it could certainly help me.
That kind of trick with the windshield is more engine-side (or more accurately, scene programmer/scripter). With modelling and animation, you'll just have to dedicate a bone to rotating the windshield. The rule of thumb is; it's always easier to animate something in engine than for an artist to create a new animation, so that rotating windshield would have been a 2 second job compared to the time it would have taken to bone, weigh, key-frame the rotation, export the animation and then script the specific animation to trigger on hit (and then reverse the animation for closing the windshield).
6:56 it looks to me that the second glass wind-shield is used for that animation of where it slides open when you hit Robotnik. What I expect is happening here is that it would be too crazy to have an animation bone dedicated to this simple wind-shield glass just to have it slide open when you hit him. It is VERY easy to rotate an object in 3D space, but it's far more complex to animate it along a bone, so I would bet money that what the developers have done here is disable the wind-shield that's on the original Robotnik model (it's transparent, so it is definitely its own material - very easy to disable!), then move the second wind-shield to the place where the first model is, then simply "rotate" the second wind-shield to make it look like it is opening.
Gestrid: If you're wondering why it couldn't be just "rotated" without needing to be rigged to a bone - that's a good question. The windshield is its own material (due to being transparent) which is what allows it to be disabled. A powerful 3D engine would allow you to translate the individual pieces of a mesh based on their material - I am guessing that the Sonic Forces engine does not have this feature available (quite a few 3D engines lack it, Unity is an example). Without the feature, you're forced to either rig the part of the model to a bone so it can be animated (done in 3D modelling software) or just duplicate that individual part of the model and have it rotate in code (very easy to set up in any 3D engine). My question is if the windshield is its own model or if it secretly has the entire Eggman flying machine - disabled by material (like what happens to the first windshield when the opening animation plays).
Y'know what screams unfairly wasted potential? The fact that they made beautiful and detailed backgrounds for each zone, which are extremely short so we don't even get to explore them or anything. And despite all that detailed beauty in the bg, Sonic and The Avatar spend _10 fucking seconds_ in Null Space - a lot of people were getting disappointed at the wasted potential, and as someone who played the game and _enjoyed_ it, I was pretty sad about it too. Especially since they teased it so hard in the cutscene prior.
This is just me thinking out loud, but with that death egg robot bit at 8:43 I honestly think that 3rd skybox that the space one turns into is supposed to be used for classic sonic's portion of the fight. Like, the fight all takes place in one area, but with the skybox changing and platforms being put in at the right time. So when you beat classic sonic's section, the skybox switches to the larger one for the avatar's portion, and then finally, when you get to the final phase, the last skybox is pulled in, but the other skyboxes used in the fight are stored nearby, just out of the player's sight.
It's all on one stage. if he had moved the character out of the sphere there's still the platform from phase 2 still loaded with collision. so nothing really gets removed its all still there.
so I was spot on basically? I always like it when i'm able to figure stuff like this out. I've always wanted to get into game design myself, and seeing that I'm able to notice what's going on most of the time with games just gives me a good feeling.
I like this video more than I like the game. :'( It's definitely cool to have a more in-depth look at some of the great asset work that was let down by a sub-par game. Keep up the great work, Shesez!
Funny, UA-cam Gamings's automatic system seemingly doesn't know that Sonic Forces got an actual name... In the game part of the description it claims this game as "Project Sonic 2017" for some reason... And the Intro was a great allegory for this game overall.
From the look of the changing skybox, I bet it's switching out for the skybox used in phase 1: Since the game doesn't have to load or abything from phase 2 to 3, the areana in which you fight the bosse's final form is likely loaded on the same stage, probably just sent out really far into the background. From here, they likely have the sky box change based on your location- which would explain the skybox changing.
It’s funny to imagine all of the characters being actors and just chilling out and hanging around in the background when they’re not needed, even Eggman and Infinite.
this is so frickin interesting! im always excited when you upload things!!! _my favourite is Dr. Grubotnik_ also i was wondering what lies beyond the boundaries of tomodachi life! maybe that will be an episode one day! if you feel like it
8:00 That's also in sonic generations. I know that just by plain looking at the spring in white space going to the green hill challenge acts. No extra stuff needed.
The animation looks like Sonic Mania. It's impressive and how much time it was put into it. whoever did this, or if it's you, it looks really good. They/You deserve an applause and a thumbs up. nice video Shesez. =)
Some animation is good while others are not. So if I think Shesez's animation is good, it's pretty good. Again, compare this to Sonic Mania. It almost looks identical.
I think I know what happened to the second to last one So when he spawns it teleports the boss and makes the skybox. So when the boss powers up? I think that's what he was doing. The sky box changes. And the cubes spawn. And if you were wondering why they made a second space sky box its because when the cubes move you might be able to see out of it. Also I love your videos I hope this helped. Unless you knew what happened. Then opps! Anyway keep up the good work!
1:17 good job with a mistake almost immediately xD Occlusion culling is not removing objects based on what the camera is looking at, that is called FRUSTUM CULLING. Occlusion Culling is a general term for removing objects that are not visible due to being behind other objects. The camera is not an object, so there's no way for it to ever occlude anything. So if a large object is between the camera and a small object, then the small object is being "occluded" by the larger object and is a candidate for culling. Frustum culling removes objects that are wholly outside of the camera's view frustum - that pyramid that describes the area the camera is "capturing". This is done by checking if the object's bounding box is outside the planes that describe the camera's view frustum. TLDR: Occlusion culling is a general term that describes thousands of different techniques to remove objects that are occluded by other objects. BSP partitioning with a potentially visible set is one technique of occlusion culling. Fragment visibility testing is another technique for achieving occlusion culling. Frustum culling is probably the one technique that is not part of occlusion culling. Frustum culling is the removal of objects that are outside of the camera's view frustum (removing objects the camera is not looking at).
As a game developer myself, I find this series fascinating for two reasons: 1) it's fun to see what kind of shortcuts level designers are comfortable making (helps me with engine design) and 2) it's absolutely amazing to see what laypeople consider magical :D Take culling of visible objects, for example - one video (from another channel) even claimed it's a "secret game devs don't want you to know", whereas pretty much any article you go into that lays down the absolute basics of game and engine design focuses exclusively on ways to show the least amount of graphics necessary. ...anyway, he's kind of both right and wrong about the culling at the start of this video: what he's describing is view culling (frustum culling is one way to achieve that), while the game also displays effects of occlusion culling by way of some variation of "potentially visible sets" - only chunks of the level that can potentially be seen from the player's current position are made part of the active scene.
Felix Klenk Hehe, well spotted - thanks! Also, you have a really nice first name. The type of first name a handsome, intelligent, super cool kind of person would have ;)
I wish this game played a quarter as good as it looks. This video is the primary reason I was interested enough to get this game. You made it seem so gorgeous. Thank you for this great video. But also curse you for making me think this was a quality game.
Please, please, PLEASE break Far Cry 3/4, Mass Effect 1/2/3 or even Destiny!! Love the videos Shesez, you've solved literally hundreds of questions my younger self craved the answers to! 💛❤💜💚💙
Open world games tend to be the worst for this kinda stuff. Often enough, the only noticeable feature tends to be the "zoom out". And little else. And I dont have faith that Far Cry's map editor: the game, has many nuances
I see the video in my suggestions Me: toGETHER WE CAN SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE CAN DO. YOU'RE NEXT TO ME AND I'M NEXT TO YOU, PUSH IT ON THROUGH UNTIL THE BATTLES WOOOOONNN (BUR DUR DUR DUR DUR DURDUR) NO ONE'S GONNA GET NOTHING TO US, INTO EACH OTHER WE PUT OUR TRUST. STANDING UNITED, AFTER THE FIGHT.
Unfortunatly, I know there is someone out there who will say "Gasp! The stuff that is hidden by the ground and sky looks SO bad! This is why Sonic forces sucks!" And they would be wrong!
Thank you too for this nice collaboration! It was a lot of fun to animate Sonic for Boundary Break!
Well done! ^^

It’s a damn shame, honestly. So much could’ve been level design and it was put aside as background objects.

I don't get why everyone is so curious about Infinite's face. I mean, we have a comic that has him, unmasked, in broad daylight.
People wanted to see if this game decided to keep attention to detail--like older and better Sonic games--in this case, rendering Infinite's face under the mask.
DarthSears I wish they did. You can’t see his blue eye, I think his in-game model has two yellow eyes instead of his light blue eye and yellow eye

I'm sick of seeing this comment and I need to bring it to attention.
Raze Ninjato That's why I commented it. It's so overused.
Raze Ninjato
Actually the game wasn’t rushed, it was just a combination of mostly bad but some good ideas
Why do they keep making these engines for one game? Would it not be easier to just use Unreal or some other licensed engine?
3 years to make the engine? that sounds like they just built an entirely new engine instead of updating their old one
6:56 it looks to me that the second glass wind-shield is used for that animation of where it slides open when you hit Robotnik.

So when he spawns it teleports the boss and makes the skybox. So when the boss powers up? I think that's what he was doing. The sky box changes. And the cubes spawn.

"Smartened up" is not the term I'd use to describe what the devs have done with this game.
Say whatever you want to say, it won't change the fact this game sucks ass even for Sonic game standards.
Gullem, that's your opinion, not fact. And I don't agree with you
RiffSkozz's Offical Bara Furry Spank Bank Of Dicks is it just my opinion? Or is it the fact the game overall is kinda crap?
It is your opinion that the game is bad. It's not a fact that the game "sucks ass."

1:17 good job with a mistake almost immediately xD

We get it, you know computer words. You can shut up now.
Optillian "Stop showing that you know more than me"
"BSP partitioning" means "binary space partitioning partitioning", you have included redundancy : )
As a game developer myself, I find this series fascinating for two reasons: 1) it's fun to see what kind of shortcuts level designers are comfortable making (helps me with engine design) and 2) it's absolutely amazing to see what laypeople consider magical :D
Take culling of visible objects, for example - one video (from another channel) even claimed it's a "secret game devs don't want you to know", whereas pretty much any article you go into that lays down the absolute basics of game and engine design focuses exclusively on ways to show the least amount of graphics necessary.
...anyway, he's kind of both right and wrong about the culling at the start of this video: what he's describing is view culling (frustum culling is one way to achieve that), while the game also displays effects of occlusion culling by way of some variation of "potentially visible sets" - only chunks of the level that can potentially be seen from the player's current position are made part of the active scene.

At 3:38 the far sonic is looking at the victory pose one looking like “Who does this faker think he is”
9:32
Wtf Rogue
9:31 the way tails is just slowly rotating and how espio just is in the floor
This episode was better than the whole game.
[Edit]: This is my opinion, not fact. Just to clear up any confusion.
_ Tylireous _ subjectively speaking (or your opinion)

From my own experience (of playing the game live on my channel)
_ Tylireous _ yea your opinion
_ Tylireous _ sorry I just get real irritated when people say stuff like this without clearing up that it’s an opinion

I edited it, hopefully that makes it not as irritating 👍
I didn't want to say this but you are using the best part of forces these graphics are so gorgeous
Mustache-less Eggman sold me
Love the animation at the begging
Shaved Eggman looks like Gru
If eggman stoped building bases with speed boosts and ramps I think he might have had a chance
I like this game.
I don't care if you disagree.
i like too
Same
I wish this game played a quarter as good as it looks. This video is the primary reason I was interested enough to get this game. You made it seem so gorgeous. Thank you for this great video. But also curse you for making me think this was a quality game.
This dood look like Gru from Despicable Me without his mustache
I'm dying.
9:30 Uh Espio are you ok?
Well to see Infinite’s real face. Just boundary break the Shadow’s cutscene and make the camera towards Infinite’ face.
Lmao i sense Eggmans Plan memes coming around the corner
The only fun parts of Sonic Forces was, ironically, the OC character ones. Gameplay felt much better imo.
Original character character?
His controls were super stiff and the acceleration was broken tho.
I like both Sonic and the Avatar’s stages.
TheBlueBlur - Sonic Animations broken acceleration tends to happen when your "new engine" is just the one from lost world with better lighting
4 years of development huh... What a waste..
Mom: Moustacheless Eggman doesn't exist he can't hurt you
Moustacheless Eggman:
Please, please, PLEASE break Far Cry 3/4, Mass Effect 1/2/3 or even Destiny!! Love the videos Shesez, you've solved literally hundreds of questions my younger self craved the answers to! 💛❤💜💚💙
Open world games tend to be the worst for this kinda stuff. Often enough, the only noticeable feature tends to be the "zoom out". And little else.
And I dont have faith that Far Cry's map editor: the game, has many nuances
What do you think you'll be able to find in a game in which you can already pretty much go anywhere ?
Jangles Look up whatever's "new viewpoint" videos for gta v, there's lots hidden.
Heck yeah man! Build up that support! You got my attention
Seconded for Mass Effect videos.
I would also love to see Shesez work with Lance McDonald on a Bloodborne video.
Nice job on the video! Also, that intro and the fan art were pretty cool!
I'm kinda sad you didn't take a moment to showcase all the infinite "long bois" that appear in a later metropolis stage...
Damn eggman without a mustache looks like gru
That intro though
9:32 LOOK AT CHARMY
this game was already broken so i cant wait to see you break it even further
Congrats Codenamegamma, once again ;)
3:37 *It was you all along.*
Giant enemy crabs? Do they do huge damage?
no but you can hit them in there weak spot to do massive damage.
its a mini boss on stage
This game is GORGEOUS!! I just wish there was... y'know... more of it...?
Awesome intro!
I see the video in my suggestions
Me: toGETHER WE CAN SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE CAN DO. YOU'RE NEXT TO ME AND I'M NEXT TO YOU, PUSH IT ON THROUGH UNTIL THE BATTLES WOOOOONNN (BUR DUR DUR DUR DUR DURDUR) NO ONE'S GONNA GET NOTHING TO US, INTO EACH OTHER WE PUT OUR TRUST. STANDING UNITED, AFTER THE FIGHT.
Not going to mention that the infinite *long bois* are just a retextured perfect chaos?
Unfortunatly, I know there is someone out there who will say "Gasp! The stuff that is hidden by the ground and sky looks SO bad!
This is why Sonic forces sucks!"
And they would be wrong!
