@@Garrulous64 well, I have an idea that Infinite agreed to work with eggman (instead of simply being brainwashed) because he was trying to save his comrades' lives after their assult failed. The squad itself may not be much of a mention in sonic forces, but they could come up in a possible sequel, along with a possible redemption arc for infinite.

Random thing, but I think edgy teen Infinite could've been a cool deliberate choice, the villain being ultimately just a mercenary whose butthurt over losing once. It they wrote it in well, that would've been nice. But whatever the hell they did to his character? Not deliberate, or well thought-out. Infinite's theme, if looked into, makes his character sound better than it he is. "Its all an illusion open up your eyes and-" suggests his strength is just a farce, although the Phantom Ruby is a little bit more than that, but they could've made it work.

I love where this went. However, if it was me, I would make two alterations: -The Resistance base is on Angel Island. Considering it's in the sky it would be a logically easy area to defend, especially with the Master Emerald's power. -The Chaos Emeralds have some sort of role. It could be a side role like in classic Sonic games or be directly involved in the story, just more than DLC Super Sonic.

[@sundae_z]

I was thinking that too! I mean, I guess part of the whole thing with the chaos emeralds not being there is because of the Avatar (unless they could go super but regardless), but combining them with the Phantom Ruby? Hoo boy. Egghead would be unstoppable.

[@Nobodyshere1105]

Huh, that would be nice...

[@dalegendarymonke8921]

Perhaps near the middle/end of the game you begin collecting chaos emeralds to grow stronger (like chaos from sa1 but with sonic) and you get to see what he's like with 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 emeralds After the 3rd infinite fight (in the fortress) infinite would go and absorb the master emerald which would supercharge the phantom Ruby,and the final fight be super sonic and rookie vs a supercharged infinite

[@TheWildChallenger101]

This rewrite is by FAR the best version of Sonic Forces for me. It gives everyone in the story a proper role and actually makes you feel for the Avatar and Infinite (the friendship dynamic is a real nice touch~!). I really liked how you fixed Shadow and Infinite's encounter too, like... the fact that Shadow actually felt a bit horrified of the fact that he's solely responsible for Infinite's creation makes one have sympathy towards him and also be mad at him because he "shot first and asked questions later", so that was a well deserved moment of revelation for him and hopefully he doesn't screw up like that again in the near future (if they actually bothered with continuity that is...) Also gg with the interactions with him and Sonic, I lol'd so hard when they mentioned Prison Island and the Moon X"D And thank you *SO* much for fixing Tails because my god his behavior in the original story was completely out of character, ESPECIALLY with all he has went through in his life. . . The fox has proven time and time again that he can be a serious badass all on his own and he even went all out to beat the hell out of Eggman in Sonic Adventure 2 when he thought Sonic was straight up DEAD. So having Tails be his courageous and badass self was certainly great to listen to ^w^ And again THANK YOU FOR MAKING CLASSIC SONIC HAVE A REASON TO BE HERE. He was literally just there for no reason other than Sonic Mania being the first part of this collaberation between creators and it boggles my mind how they managed to screw up royally when they put him in Forces. Last thing I want to point out are the added boss battles. I really like this idea, it gives Chaos, Fake Shadow, and even Shadow's Story DLC a reason to be here other than bc ???fanservice????. I could go on about all of the positive changes this rewrite has brought to the table, but Sonic being trapped in there for 6 months only to let out all of his frustration towards Zavok was the best thing ever and I applaud you for it lol

I totally agree with you there! Oh! a random question, since in this version of forces, Infinite had nothing to do with Eggman during his first encounter with Shadow, You think Shadow would feel some sort of guilt when the Custom character talks about how Infinite was their friend, and was kidnapped by Eggman? Or maybe when Tails talks about how Eggman manipulated Infinite? Perhaps some interactions between Shadow and the Custom character?

Honestly, the way infinite’s dialogue was written made him really seem like an intimidating character. I really like that they turned him into an almost anime villain instead of just being another eggman and being too cheesy. It really fits his design

[@MarioSpivey]

I was disappointed with how infinite's potential (like many other things in forces) felt wasted. From what we saw in the trailers and from even his theme song. He seemed like he was going to be an awesome villain which i think he could've been... but due to poor execution that didn't happen. Also it doesn't help that in episode Shadow that he feels like a complete poser.

[@Kitten-pl3ty]

As would I

[@greenstarlover1]

GREAT rewrite, and I mean GREAT. Though, I personally would've done it a little differently: I think that Sonic still being alive would be better to be discovered by complete accident - the resistance charge an attack on the death egg to take it down as it oppose as a huge threat. In the midst of all of this, the newly recruited rookie stumbles upon the prison area and investigates. He stops when he hears whistling, and soon find none other than Sonic himself inside one of the cells. He looks a bit tired, with bags under his eyes, though he hides it with a cocky smile. Though barely visible, marks of injuries are also seen all over his body. Both are very much surprised to see each other. Rookie manage to get Sonic out using a card that fell out from one of the destroyed robots, when Zavok suddenly shows up. Rookie is scared, but Sonic put out his hand in front of him, and tell him to watch "how a real professional does it", and engage in a boss fight with zavok. Sonic is a little worn out after the fight (a result of months of "mistreatment"). Rookie shows concern, but sonic tell him not to worry, and that he is simply "a little out of shape, that's all." The security alarm then sets off, and the two then make a bold escape back to the shuttles as the resistance retreats. On the way, the rest of the resistance (especially Amy) is surprised and excited to hear Sonic's voice on the other side on the communicator, and are happy to know that he is safe. Sonic managed to get himself a proper care and rest once he reached the resistance's base (not before fainting out of exhaustion the moment he stepped out of the shuttle). Despite his condition, Sonic still insist on assisting rookie with the factory mission, so he can pay back eggman for all he has done, and cause you know - Sonic is Sonic.

[@greenstarlover1]

And regarding the phantom ruby - I think that the ruby is better being the same one from mania. Eggman found it on the ground after he hears a strange warping noise outside its lair. He pick it up to study its strange abilities. He also creates phantom ruby duplicates in order to try to recreate the original's power and to understand it better, but ultimately failed, resulting in Eggman ordering Infinite to discard of them all. The reason the phantom ruby and Classic Sonic didn't arrived at the same time is due to space-time shenanigans :P Classic Sonic's goal in this game will be to retrieve to phantom ruby from Eggman, so he can get back to his own -dimension- *time.*

[@greenstarlover1]

And regarding infinite (and this is a big one) - I'm keeping the idea of him and the rookie once being really close friends: They are childhood friends, who shared a sonic and tails dynamic - rookie is shy and timid, while infinite is bold and rash. In their youth, Infinite often got himself into fights, trying to protect rookie from bullies that picked up him, although he usually lost in all of them. That lead him to wish to one day become the strongest being in the world, so he can properly protect his friend. Unfortunately, on the way to achieve this childhood dream, Infinite and rookie ultimately part ways, and as the time passes, they both got less and less in touch. On his journey, Infinite soon find himself becoming a leader of a mercenary group called The jackal squad, which he leads proudly. His skills shined brightly among his group, being the youngest member to ever achieve the status of leader. One day, to prove his squad's strength, he leads a direct assault on one of eggman's bases, hoping a success will award them the attention they always wanted. But instead the assult fails miserably, and the squad got taken down very easily as eggman uncovers the phantom ruby's abilities. Eggman, realizing infinite's potential, offers him a deal - he'll let the rest of his squad live, in exchange for Infinite's servitude, along with a promise to greatness. Infinite, with not really another choice, begrudgingly agrees. (On a side note, Infinite stills blames himself for the assult's failure to this day, thinking he should've have known better as the supposed leader.) A few months pass, and infinite is ordered by eggman to stop shadow, who was invading the mystic forest base at the time. Shadow defeat infinite really easily, calling him weak and pathetic before leaving. With the humiliating defeat, and the fact that his strength was what he grew to value the most, infinite was deeply offended - he did not come all this way only to be called weak again! He will not again be belittled as the 'weak' child he once was! Furious, he was ready to use any means necessary to get back at shadow. 'Fortunately' for him, eggman at the same time was looking for someone to help test the phantom ruby's capabilities with. With the phantom ruby in hand, infinite grew more and more mad in power (the ruby's itself might be partially responsible in its influence), seeing himself as the most powerful entity in the world just as he so dreamed. I also had an idea that Infinite might not be not the character's true name, but a name he gave to himself once obtaining the phantom ruby (because with it his strength is "infinite"), but what his true name is idk yet :/

[@greenstarlover1]

And regarding the rookie - he was trying to get back in touch with infinite for quite a while, but infinite was starting to answer his letters less and less, letting rookie to get quite worried about him. One his search, he encounters few of the jackal squad members, injured from the prior failed assult. They didn't really gave him any useful information regarding infinite, expect that "the doctor has him". When he finally sees infinite again, he was already with his newfound powers and mask. Rookie couldn't believe at first that the being standing in front of him destroying the city was his old friend, as he acted *nothing* like the friend he once knew. He soon joins the resistance, hoping that maybe on the battlefield he could get a better chance to talk to his old friend, and maybe even return him back to his senses. The rest of the resistance, however, do not know about all of this at all throughout the game, as rookie didn't really had the right time to tell them that. Rookie is also wearing a friendship bracelet on his wrist - one of a pair that he made for him and infinite back when they were young, signifying how important their friendship was for him, and how badly he wants that same friendship back.

[@greenstarlover1]

Throughout the game, infinite outright denys any relationship he had with rookie, pretending he doesn't know him or even care about him, much to rookie's dismay. After the final fight against infinite, eggman surprise everyone by shooting a laser beam toward the weakened infinite, knocking him down, and taking the phantom ruby to himself. He remarks about how infinite is a complete disappointment, and that he rather finish the heroes himself. He soon take off, with sonic and classic sonic following suit. Meanwhile, worried, rookie heads toward infinite, who rejects him upon sight. "Why are you still here? To laugh at a failure such as myself? Hmph don't waste your time." As an answer, Rookie shows him the friendship bracelet he's has been holding on all this time. Infinite's is surprised, recognizing the old torn down bracelet. "Did you... really kept this old piece of garbage?" Infinite says mockingly. "And I thought you couldn't be more pathetic." Rookie anwsers. "Because we're... friends?" Infinite was shocked at the answer. "Huh! Don't be foolish, our little 'friendship' was over years ago! You can't possibly say that you went through all of this trouble just.... for..... me......" Infinite stay silent for a few seconds, a old memory of him and rookie as kids flashed in his mind. This memory, although not admitting it, does fill infinite with an odd sense of nostalgia. Reminiscing on days long lost, infinite gently smiles. "You... have grown a lot since we last met, do you know that? You are much stronger than the timid child I used to know." "It makes me proud". Infinite looks at rookie, genuinely smiling for the first time in ages. "Now, go. And kick the doctor's butt for me will ya?" Infinite utters before finally passing out. Rookie, happy to finally reconnect with his old friend, smiles, and with replenished confidence heads out for the final battle. The final battle and ending play similarly to what garrulous suggests in the video (minus the sonic and rookie scene - it has a bit different dialogue). After the ending, an extra cutscene plays, showing infinite from behind slowly waddling away. His mask is laying broken on the ground behind him. Zooming in on injured his hand, he is shown wearing an old hand-made bracelet. Fun fact: the initial version I came up with had infinite straight up *dying* after eggman shot him, and in his final moments he hands rookie the second friendship bracelet (which the pair of bracelets then also unlock as an accessory for the character for the extra punch in the feels). I decide to scrap this idea because I thought it might be too dark :/

You know, despite his pretty much lazy story, I think Infinite is kinda different from other Sonic villains. It seems like his main motive (if not the only one) is to show everybody how strong he is. In the end of "Forces" (Spoiler alert), his final words before disappearing were "Wait! I can still fight!" I kinda felt bad for him. It's almost like he's not that much of a villain, but a person who lost direction, or with inferiority complex. A person who can change...

Forces would’ve been a lot better if it wasn’t about war (since it doesn’t fit the characters at all) and instead expanded on the concept of Eggman conquering the world. It would’ve given the game more of a unique theme and visually different to other Sonic games. Sure, you see the damage inflicted on stages like Green Hill and Sunset Heights, but it’d be much better if there were more imperial cities, factories and other Eggman-themed locations in game, it could’ve given the game a more unique aesthetic and made it visually stand out amongst other Sonic games.

[@BlueJack222]

[@White_Recluse]

This friendship between the custom character can actually fill in some of the plot holes with Silver. He’s a telekinetic time traveling hedgehog from the future, he should be one of the most powerful characters. He can’t beat Infinite because of his ability to warp reality with his illusion casting, and he can’t travel black in time to kill infinite before he got his power because he doesn’t know who he is, even when or if he did he couldn’t out of sympathy for the custom character wanting to save his friend. I know a lot of people also say “Well why doesn’t he travel further back and kill Eggman?” Proposal: what if Silver can’t kill Eggman because of one of his “descendants” being an important figure valuable to Silvers timeline?

[@ChaosRayZero]

“Well why doesn’t he travel further back and kill Eggman?” I tried to reply to this, but my computer wouldn't let me. I typed a half-dozen "Butterfly of Doom" / "for want of a nail" type ideas for why removing Eggman from the Sonic timeline could be a reeeally bad idea, even mentioning major changes to the events of Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow The Hedgehog, or the idea that Sonic and Miles (Tails) possibly never even meet. But just when I was about to copy-paste it into a text document to save it (before trimming it down because it was a mountain of a YT comment X^D), somehow my web browser glitched up and clicked the Back Button on its own and _I lost it all._ T^T

[@Garrulous64]

[@hatslapper6860]

Not a badly written story, just a bit too edgy. Definitely fits canonically within the Sonic timeline tho and explains Shadow's existence.

[@hatslapper6860]

Are there any issues you have in particular?

[@hatslapper6860]

The Black Arms came because Gerald started project Shadow 50 years before the events in the game with Black Doom's DNA, and he expected the seven chaos emeralds in return from Gerald once he came back to perform the world ending ritual. Their invasion in the start of the story incites the conflict and is justified by the fact that it was a planned attack to prepare for the ritual. I think Project Shadow was the reason the ARK had to be shut down, and so the commander places his grudge on Shadow because he was the result of that project, and if he never existed, Maria wouldn't have had to die, but I do agree that he should have also held a grudge against GUN. Gerald is kind of a mixed bag, because when he was on the ARK, he created a message for Shadow to stop Black Doom and said that he the planet's savior, but once Maria was shot and Gerald was incarcerated, he held a hated towards GUN and humanity, using the eclipse Cannon for evil instead of using it to destroy the Black Comet. He probably doesn't deserve to be honored, but he did have good intentions.

[@hatslapper6860]

The bosses in this game were pretty mediocre, and I do agree that the Black Bulls didn't fit in with the story.

[@TyBaller]

"As the Jackle Cackles" that's an Awesome line

[@yourlocalcryptid8095]

It is

[@TrivatorGaming]

Here's ideas for bonus stuff, Shadow becomes a playable character after playing through the flashbacks sequence/episode Shadow. 14 bonus levels, 7 for chaos emeralds that unlock the Super forms for Sonic and Shadow and 7 that unlock the Dark forms for them. The Super can be activated by jumping and pressing B/⭕ after collecting 50 rings. The Dark form can only be used once per stage where if you get hit when you don't have any rings it'll activate but it only lasts till you get 50 rings(if you think 50 rings is too much reply). And lastly DLC levels where you play as Sonic or Shadow on Angel Island and I thought of having Mephiles as the bonus boss, when you play the Boss battle against him you unlock the Hyper forms where you can activate it the same way as the Super form except it requires 100 rings and once it hits 50 it turns back to the Super form.

[@wolfyrewolfswift1566]

Finally a good sonic story, much better than the more recent additions to the "canon". This is the first video I've seen of yours, and I can't wait to see more, you have excellent vision for story writing, and the themes you added really pulled the whole game together.

[@Tch356]

Not gonna lie, i was extremely weary about traversing into this video after having it recommended to me for gosh who knows how long. I appreciate restricting yourself by using what the main plot already has already set up to see if you can alter it to make it feel more intriguing than what we have. The only drastic change with infinite and the removal of his mercenary team, and i find it to be understandable as they were nothing but fodder with nice designs. Wish you'd kept them but it would've probably cause issues in the long run if we're going with "best friend turned into slaved weapon" idea. Although, as much as i enjoyed having extra scenes in already existing cutscenes with some minor alterations every now and then, some of them did feel a bit too contrived or too fanservicey for its own good (i.e sonic pointing out how the moon blown up). Not to say these are bad ideas in general, i just find it to be tacky and overall adds unnecessary fluff to the story in question. As for boss fights goes chaos could use a more simpler moveset to introduce newcomers to the classic sonic playstyle and shadow could've been more engaging rather than just wait for him to charge up an attack to wail on him. As for classic sonic, i think it would've been better if it was a twist that the classic sonic we assume is from the past is actually just a projection like the other illusions for the sake of consistency. Otherwise this can get ugly if we keep him like he is from the past meaning it implies the ruby can pull things from different timelines and open a huge can of worms in the process. Despite all i said, Thank you for creating potential suggestions and ideas that could be added if the game happened to get a rewrite. i thought the video was pretty interesting in which it provoked my creative mindset picturing out some of the scenarios that could potentially work if all things are positioned well.

[@Garrulous64]

On the topic of being fanservicey, I figured i'd go that route because this was an anniversary game. By including villains from the past and flaunting them in the teasers for the game, it felt like that's what they were going for. When they didn't do anything with most of the returning characters, it felt less like fan service, and more like bait.

I found the title of the trophy "Bonds of Friendship" obtained after beating Infinite's third bout rather humorously tragic... I was imagining, *Sonic and Avatar repeatedly kicking Infinite on the floor* Sonic: Yeah, friendship is awesome! Infinite: GOD, I'M SO LONELY ...which is actually kind of sad. Shadow in SA2 was much more callous in his psychology than Infinite (and still is) and yet he was still redeemed by Sonic and his friends but not Infinite. Infinite the lonely jackal who lost everything and blames it on external forces rather than taking responsibility for his own mistakes? Ref. the 4-part Sonic Forces comic. Zero accepted Eggmans offer to work for him while narrowly disregarding his teams disapproval and as a result, everyone he was supposed to be responsible for as their leader is dead which is not only a cause for grief but ruins his pride as a mercenary captain. Grief turns into rage and denial which turns into misguided hatred. This is a negative but actually very human character trait which does open an opportunity for redemption given the proper circumstances. Infinite's personality and character concept is actually pretty well written, the execution of it was just hot garbage. ...but nah, f*ck this guy in particular. He got a poo face, our hero says. IMO modern Sonic needs a little fixing too.

[@verbulent_flow6229]

There were a few comments I saw from another video on Sonic Forces. I think they handled Tails really well. XtheReaper1: "And Tails has just lost it." Wouldn't it have been hilarious if when we saw Tails again, he was a half-crazy survivalist with camo and wearing robot armor and laser cannons as trophies and weapons, only to snap out of it when the chance to save Sonic comes up? This way we could have had the return of kick-ass Tails. Juan Pablo Robayo: you just gave me an idea Tails is just as you described. He returns to HQ with you super angry, sad, and ragged, but he serves as your weapons man, introducing your power ups for your wispons. But he's very clearly lonely, and if you click on the 'talk' option enough he reveals it. He's not interested in going outside again, and he makes sure the rest of the crew understands he's just there to build guns and nothing else. He takes note of your progress, but unlike the others (most notably knuckles and amy) he's very quick to tell you that what you're doing is dangerous, and that you cannot afford to screw up. The "Save Sonic Stage" is left until like, halfway to the end of the game, where he says he's gonna tag along with you because he NEEDS to go. There are like a couple of sections where he pops in with a quicktime event to show that he's helping you in the background. The intercom shows him getting more hopeful and more desperate the closer you get to the end... ...and then when he meets sonic again he's so happy he triggers the boss by accident, but he's not gonna let the boss stop him, so he joins you in the fight with quicktime events again, brandishing a brand new wispon that you cannot unlock prior to this. When the fight is over , the reunion of sonic and tails is filled with happiness and your character stands there, smiling, genuinely happy for your new friends. When Tails says 'Thank you', it's said with a totally different tone, so you know he really does mean it. And then, next cutscene, after a bit where everyone is so glad Sonic is back and they start planning, he gives you this new wispon, which introduces the concept of powering up your wispons and making them better. This way, your weapons don't feel overpowered at the start of the game, you have some challenge, and by the time you power them up to the max, the whole "one shot kill" thing feels earned. And it feels like Tails is totally helping you do it, every step of the way I think you should give this idea serious consideration.

This video is perfect. It made a game with a below average story be able to ripen up and improve. You really improved the story, I especially love the dynamic between the OC and Infinite. I feel like this would give OC a real reason to join the resistance and to finish the fight. I am saddened by the cliffhanger between the dynamic story-wise, but game-wise, if the story was implemented in-game, it would allow Sega to make Sonic Forces 2.

You can't Spell "Infinite" without "Finite"

Infinite and the custom character had so much potential yet they squandered their opportunity to expand their franchise with these two that could have made all this more dire and shows just how deep they could make this story.

I really loved this video! I like how your version's conclusion provides closure (better closure than the og game imo) while still maintaining some potential plotlines for a theoretical sequel to follow (storywise) if it were made, although I'm not sure where it would go. Thank you so much for releasing this, and I hope you feel better soon!
