Reason why sonic mania was the best critically acclaimed game we had in years, since it was made by Christian Whitehead and his team which existed of sonic modders who actually care about their games. Sad to see that sonic mania was somewhat made as a prequel to this disappointed of a game called sonic forces

The major problem I had with Forces was the levels were so short, and this straight up fixed that issue
I can’t wait for him to release the Aqua Road reimagined. It’s the craziest. And my favourite. Finally my fave Forces song gets a good level.

@@cb6983 I was referring to making more geometry for a mod. If you imagine that 1-2 people had to design not just one path that adds an extra minute or two to the stage, but several paths each taking up around that long in their own right, alongside doing the background, object placement, collision, splines, cameras, and the ridiculous stuff they have to pull off with forces’ limited custom objects (they’re called gismos lol) such as shadow appearing, this results in months of work amounting to a couple minutes of gameplay

1:12 knuckles's warning legitimately felt sincere here, man. it just fits so well with this small chase sequence.
Given that the level design of Sonic Forces Forces is dull and boring as you can beat the game in like two hours and a half, I see this as a good improvement! Cool mod :)
To see a stage last longer than 30 seconds is already mind blowing.

idk I got a new monitor with HDR10 and my editor seems to just do whatever it wants with the footage... I've had multiple different color issues at this point. So it might be something with that. It's funny since it always looks mostly on when it's not on KZread, but when it's put on KZread all the faults come out like x10. I will look at color settings once again.. xD

@@sonicovertime I will upload a video of the mod myself in about 1 hour. You can watch it a bit just to compare the colors and other effects like bloom.

I used Sharpen, Colorfulness and Bloom with Godrays (later 2 you download from Nvidia's page)

@@sonicovertime As for the HDR thing, I have a HDR monitor myself and most of the time it's poorly implemented in games and it makes the colors even more washed up (only used it in games like Redout and Gravel, both of which look terrible with HDR enabled).

@@sonicovertime I'm no expert in color spaces, but I think because the footage you're recording is using HDR (Full color range), it won't translate properly on KZread because KZread uses a Limited color space.

Oh I love this mod ! I like how sunset heights is actually in pieces and showing the robots destroying it rather than just buildings falling off and pyramid arsenal having more factory/chemical parts. Really shows eggman's emphasis on the resistance while sonic was gone !
They really took some creative liberties with the mod including the fake shadow appearing and attempting to attack you
If they reimagined all the other levels in this mod, then Sonic Forces would be very well worth the purchase.
I seriously hope this reimagine mod adds a Shadow boss fight sometime down the road like how the Classic Sonic Improvement mod added a Chaos fight.
Love all the added background elements too. Makes everything seem much more filled with action
I've seen Brandon's videos and I've seen the progress since. I didn't expect this 0:58 This is amazing
BRO, New Arsenal Pyramid looks FANTASTIC! Especially how smoothly it transitions into the original version
Ok now THIS is the literal definition of "Dashing like the manic!" This was a fun video to watch and Massive respect to those who made this Re-imagining of Sonic Forces. :)
I confess I'm surprised, what an amazing thing! I just found it strange the color tone, they seem to be lighter than the normal tone of the game but other than that it's amazing! all the layout of the stages, elements of the scenario, new routes and even small animations in the middle of the stage such as Sonic's encounter with Shadow reminding Sonic Adventure 2! Please bring more Sonic Forces Re-Imagined!!!
I'm guessing this mod makes use of areas that existed in the game originally but were never used, makes me feel like the levels were originally longer but were shortened on purpose. Guess we won't need a forces fan game anymore when this mod is finished. Probably for the best as it would end up being Shadow the hedgehog 2 if I were in charge, it could work though.

Actually, the extensions in this are entirely designed and made by brandon jones. Of course assets are used from the base game so it looks like the rest of the level, but it’s all made entirely custom. The level design, collision, etc, everything was done by him. (Alongside some little things by the duck dealer im pretty sure)

Interesting, well it's done well enough that it feels like it's part of the base game, especially in arsenal pyramids' case.
This is 10X Times better than the original level design I Love It!!!
This looks freaking awesome!
I hope when he does Imperial Tower Reimagined, he actually makes the sun a threat and keeps it at the same height it is in the two cutscenes for consistency. In the vanilla level itself, it's too far away and doesn't seem to fall at all, apart from getting only slightly closer once you climb high enough)
Dude this Reimagined Sonic Forces must become a full game for all to enjoy
Yo, this is so cool and awesome! 😃
Loving the new section for the exterior part of Arsenal Pyramid.

A longer sunset heights is all I’ve ever wanted
thank you for not putting an ear rape intro like most sonic youtubers do :))
Oh my God, this is incredible
Love the Sonic adventure 2 reference!
The person who made this mod has outdone theirselves this is gorgeous
Glad I've been following this project's production for a while
this is beautiful but sad when you see what forces could have been, the shadow encounter on sunset heights was crazy!!
That moment that referenced SA2 at exactly 1:00 was the best thing ever :D
0:59 That is such a cool moment
Had to watch it in fullscreen 😎
Super cool! Sonic Forces is one of my alltime favorites. Also don't know why it get hated on lol.
Now looks great
The real sunset hights!!!😍
This just makes me think about how much potential Sonic Forces had.
Sega actually does take notes so good job on this mod guys
I like how these mods do not disregard the original design and in fact made it intact and part of the whole level. But the Arsenal Pyramid Double Boost section could have a thick concrete wall for Sonic and Avatar to boost through, instead of having a mini Nega Wisp Armour chasing after them
This. This right here, THIS is what Forces could've been! If we had gotten something like this as opposed to what actually happened, it'd be so awesome!
Sonic Forces: Now with actual level design!
7:01 Shadow: See ya, nerd!
Let me quote Nathaniel Bandy "From the makers of unleashed and colors..." You know how many level designers are in the credits? TWO!!! JUST *TWO!!!*
I actually like the idea of fighting the fake shadow in sunset heights instead of having a separate boss stage
Still looks a little too automated to me, but defiantly an improvement from before

Now if only there was a way to get this on my PS4. Such an amazing mod!
I can’t believe it sega didn’t think this one through.
What forces’ levels should have been. Also the music for the first run of Arsenal pyramid is awesome. Ngl it reminded me of 06’s music.
Shadow looks really funny 😝 Where is the serious Shadow we all love.
That’s cool
Sonic Forces is finally perfect !
4:20 Sonic and Random Avatar at once: Double BOOST!
While I like Sonic Forces in it's naive form (by that I mean I like modern and Classic Sonic) but this makes a good game perfect
This still feels empty despite the stage being so good. And i realized why... SEGA REMOVED THE DRIFT ABILITY. It's really a good boost stage and I love how much effort when into this 10/10 But the lack of drift sections makes me realize that's why the stages feel a bit stale. There's always a Quick step section Boosting section through loops Rail grinding Drifting section To break up the boosting and platforming. And without the drift it feels lacking not gonna lie. But that's all on SEGA. The creator for this mod has made the best version of sunset heights from what I've seen.!
This is a proof that this game had potential
Fans are doing better work than sega last days. I hope that will change soon with a next game.
