Why is Sonic Unleashed still the best looking Sonic game?

Because it had a lot of budget and effort put into.

Does Amy have any other history with machines?

Depends on what you mean: do you mean with piloting/using machines because I can't really recall her doing so in the main series.

Either way and yes, I don't either. TVTropes briefly mentioned it under her Overshadowed by Awesome tab.

Not premiering into the thread business over this, just want a good answer/explanation: Did Sonic Forces sell decently or not?

[DabigRG]

As suggested by Brainscratchcomms when the game was just being teased, would Force's story make more sense if it was Dr. NEGA rather than Eggman himself behind everything?

[Diogenes]

I don't see how that would change anything. Eggman is already basically a background character in the game. Most of the story is driven by Infinite, and it doesn't really matter who he's getting his orders from. And if it was Nega, what would our Eggman be up to while all this is going down?

Not entirely sure, admittedly, but I suppose you could have him secretly supporting the Resistance while trying to avoid Nega and Infinite as much as possible, with the notion that he's actually planning to eventually overthrow both.

[DabigRG]

Do you think Eggman intended to create more than one entity like Infinite?

Why doesn't Amy ever get a games story focus on her is my unanswered question.

Yeah, Adventure 1, Heroes, and Battle are the closest she ever got.

Also, there's apparently something about the game's programming that lends to that idea due to defaulting to/specifying him.

Additional info: a prototype screen that tuned up in a magazine had 'featuring Espio the Chameleon' instead of 'featuring Knuckles the Echidna', that scan used to be on a site dedicated to prototype Sonic stuff, i saved it:

This showed up in the US region title screens for some of the Knuckles Chaotix beta roms that can be found at Sonic Retro

Apparently it first showed up in the 1227 prototype - meaning that as early as December 27th 1994 they were seemingly planning to make Espio a big deal if not the main character in the US version of Chaotix?  

[DabigRG]

Do you think SEGA originally intended for Espio to be Knuckles' sidekick?

Interesting. He is the first character to partner with Knuckles, isn't he?

Makes me think of another question....

Same reason why it never happened to Coco (Crash Bandicoot) or Quark (Ratchet and Clank).

Spin-off games are a rare thing. Not everyone is Mario. (And even then, don't hold your breath for "Daisy Magic Adventure")

[DabigRG]

Comparatively speaking, what would Amy's ideal equivalent to Knuckles be like?

[Pengi]

Sonic Jam Official Guide gives Espio top billing as well: 

[Your Vest Friend]

Wait, why would a guide to Sonic Jam have games not in Sonic Jam? Did the game mention them anywhere?

[Pengi]

There's a brief series retrospective at the back, touching upon the games that aren't in the compilation.

Why exactly did Eggman's Battleship start to explode in 06?

Perhaps, given all the duplicate rubies he has. Possibly even trying to turn himself into such a being.

[DabigRG]

I read somewhere that Cream was gonna be in Silver's Story in 06 at one point. Is there remotely any truth to this?

He also have numerous Glass-jars in his lab at the beginning besides the one containing Infinite.

It seems that it was just a random malfunction.

There's a whole series history in the game itself, in the Sonic's World 3D section so it does make sort of sense, kind of, if you squint 

 

[DabigRG]

So, what was the deal with Kragok?
