SEGA has been having a busy day, due to the release of solicitations for the upcoming IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comics. But this is not the only news that SEGA had to share today. SEGA had been heavily criticized for their Sonic Forces Super Sonic DLC. Not only is it DLC, something that SEGA didn’t do with Super Sonic in previous games, but SEGA had confirmed that the DLC was only free for a limited time. In fact, you would’ve had to begin paying $2 for Super Sonic sometime this week. The good news is that this will no longer be the case. It was confirmed on Twitter that the Super Sonic DLC will not see a $2 price tag, and it will stay this way forever. The tweet is down below.
More good news: we’ve updated the plan for Super Sonic DLC in Sonic Forces!
Starting today, the Super Sonic DLC will be free – forever.

This should have been the case from the beginning but I just can’t even with this anymore.
}{ You can’t even? Is that because you’re at “odds” with the game? I’ll see myself out… }{
No, it’s because there’s no point on even grasping or defending this crap for anything.
I forgot the dlc was even a thing honestly.
I would’ve forgotten about Sonic Forces if it wasn’t for their commercials for their Chuck E Cheeses sweepstakes thing
You should’ve and get Mania instead.
I have Mania on my PS4 and I didn’t get Forces
*applaud* Thank fucking god. lol
I sold my copy long before Super Sonic was in the game
He was actually in the base game but without the typical music fanfare to go along with him and he wasn’t able to be played without hacks
So in other words, the devs we’re beyond fucking lazy and inept making/writing this disappointing trash.
*were* Fucking auto correct doesn’t even recognize it’s own correctly spelled vocabulary.
So SEGA is going down the route of having finished content that’s already in the game being locked behind a paywall… even though this turned out to free I have no words to express my disgust.
Sounds familiar…Amiibos. B(
Still won’t save this piece of shit game anyway.
Dude, chill ya beans yeah? … I not played a Sonu game since WiiU lost world where I thought was quite good… Sonic needs to die off really, the games of late are not great… Ninty need to buy out Sega lol
Dude, your grammar. It burns. Are you the one who keeps writing shitty stories and scripts for them? lol
That would be Pontac & Graff, two of the biggest troll jokers of all time.
SEGA has the audacity to keep us in the dark over Pontac’s inclusion, and made us think that with just Graff as the main script writer, the game would be slightly better.
How about Nishiyama or Maekawa, SEGA.
I actually wouldn’t mind it if Nintendo bought Sonic and rebooted the series at this point. They could add some innovation to the series since the games have been the same for almost a decade now, and PLEASE get rid of Warren Gaff, his kind of writing is only good for slapstick humor.
But then again, they may not go the extra length of building a universe. Then again, they wouldn’t fuck up whatever universe they construct compare to Sega.
Now if only we can get Episode Knuckles and Episode Tails, especially since there’s else to do in the post-game after Episode Shadow and attempting to unlock more custom parts.
Or just let this crap rot in peace. Sonic 4 style.
You’re just saying that because Sonic Mania is now the true Sonic 4. But what would replace Sonic Forces?
And some of still want to get some mileage out of this game (such as playing as Tails or Knuckles again in a 3D Sonic game), before moving onto NOTHING.
Nobody said that it is because it’s not even called that. Many wished they did because the actual Sonic 4 turned into the episodic mess.
Good luck with that. The game is dead anyway and had nothing to offer but lies. Did we get Chaos/Shadow boss fight? No. Did we get an overpowered villain to give players a challenge? No because he’s just some random punk ass bitch who joins Eggman out of nowhere and turns evil over a fucking insult to injury fighting someone he never encountered or match before. Also, it’s confusing that they imply he’s a dude with a gem on his chest but also say he’s a test tube creation of Eggman. Which one is it? The game is a goddamn inconsistent trash that proves once again Sega doesn’t give a fuck about their only saving grace of a franchise anymore.
I can’t do your bitterness. SEGA did us wrong with P&G, but blowing off the franchise is not an option.
Sega must do Sonic Adventure 3
Hell no. I wouldn’t even let them think about doing the official 3rd Adventure game. They’ll fuck it up again unless they outsource the project to someone with competence.
SEGA’s internal teams have rotted for too long. They’re no longer able to create good Sonic weapons internally. Everyone who loved Sonic Mania knew Sonic Forces was going to be a pop gun of a weapon. Personally, I held out zero hope for it from its announcement. Sonic Mania, unfortunately, only confirms how good the Sonic IP could be in competent hands and reveals in stark detail how incompetent SEGA has become.
Amen. Now Sonic’s only hope is reliable outsource like Christian Whitehead. I would give Atlus a shot on making a Sonic game. Bioware failed, Big Red Button failed. Maybe give Dimps another chance since they did very well with Sonic up until Sonic 4 which strangely enough, they went quiet.
The title makes the game sound depressing
More like another running joke of *Insert Sonic Forces etc.* comment here. lol
