The thing I love about the levels is that they're still linear in nature,but much more fun,challenging,immersive and less automated They make you feel like you're always part of the scene,and it's a damn shame this isn't how the actual game plays

@@Shadex_Joestar They are definitely a big improvement. I would do a lot of Forces replays if the levels were this good. I only replayed Forces this year just to remember how Sonic Team screwed up before getting Frontiers.

[@bubblebuddy1]

linear levels arent always bad, unleashed had linear levels in most cases but they were filled with short reaction time objstacles to make the player concentrate, and it didnt have a lot of platforming either(except for the werehog stages) they added more platforming to the boost gameplay in generations and especially colors

[@renatogamer3930]

4:04 Man... When Aqua Road's music was reveal by SEGA months before the release of the game, I was expecting something like this. A 3D and 2D section with that music. Finally, that dream come true. 🙏

[@Fractorification]

A little nitpick, but some of the newer areas still have that “fan made” feel to them. And I think it’s because the set pieces are guilty having plain flat environments, or wide open areas over bottomless pits. It’s especially noticeable in Sunset Heights. They could’ve used some more slopes or hills to keep the set dressing a tad more consistent with the vanilla levels. The actual platforming on the other hand is pretty solid. No complaints there.

[@MarioTainaka]

Hey there nice to see you again! How have you been? This is a totally fair critism Expanding the areas is a bit of an issue. The game starts to choke a little and crash and all that fun stuff. Modeling is also kinda hard. It's hard to make custom geometry look professionally done when the tools for Forces are still very limited.

[@Fractorification]

@@MarioTainaka it’s alright, I fully expected modelling to be tricky to figure out. It’s why I prefaced that this is just a nitpick. Also, are there NPC’s in this stage? I hear some of them talking as you run by, but I don’t believe I saw any.

[@MarioTainaka]

@@Fractorification There are no NPC"S in the stage, because we'd have to model and animate them. But there are alot of implications that there should be NPC"s like newly modeled boats and the screams

[@samcandles]

in retrospect the levels seem a whole lot less fanmade than Update 3's cyberspace levels in frontiers..

[@DawnSRC]

Wow, INCREDIBLE work from the modders! Super excited to play through Forces again when it's eventually completed. It's really sad that time and time again fans have to create something to take games with obvious potential to actually be fun.

[@ivoneo2806]

It's not really sad when fans do that it's actually impressive

[@Namtaskic]

God. This mod did Aqua Road justice. It's one of my favorite stages from Forces because of the song alone. I personally love the Forces soundtrack. Makes me feel nostalgic from the days I played it in high school.

[@Fluxieplayz]

[@Navi_Silver]

Like most of time, modders do what SEGA didn't. For real, the stages looks like they always should have been with main path and from it, you have take different pathways. Honestly, it worth the detour for a casual Forces playhrought with this mod. And if Cyberspace levels turn out like this, then it we will have something pretty nice to enjoy. It doesn"t feel that automatic and it's great that way, being a part of scenery. Combine with Harder Bosses mod and Forces is now an improved title to play. What modders did like here is extracting as much as possible all the potential they can get. While going throughout Sunset Heights, you can hear citizens screaming all around. Nice little details we now have here. #SonicForcesRevampedEdition

[@Azzie-z3b]

This mod feels like forces improved, but still has the same problem as forces. Guardian rock still has the boring double boost section, but at least is a bit more cinematic with the chase. Rail grinding and boost rings and springs and boostpads make the game incredibly automated. The chemical plant pipe sections should have been like generations where u can run on them without it being automated.

[@mii-its-a-nerd]

We won't need a re-imagining of this game anymore once the new one releases next month, but this is still a great mod. Shows the game's levels could've been better it had more level designers that were experienced with Sonic games.

[@MatthewCobalt]

I'm the all rounder type with a preference for most games from 2003 and beyond, and even I can't see where Frontiers has to offer than a possibly more serious story and neutered gameplay for wide open maps.

[@TheDuckDealer]

this was made with 2 level designers so

[@ThibautMahringer]

It's not a matter of number, but of talent. 2 of the 3 level designers for Forces were newbies that NEVER worked on Sonic. And visibly they were just there to get the money and do the bare minimum.

Sunset Heights 1. The smol cutscene with Sonic and (IMPOSTER) Shadow 2. the multiple Egg Bomber chase sections 3. the camera angles focusing on the Death Egg Robots showing their destruction 4. you can hear some civillians shouting for help or announcing evacuation protocols Most of the level seems automated (a good 60% I can estimate) but a large part of the level shows how much Eggman's invasion has affected normal civilians.
