what happen with infinite ?

[Renna]

after last encouter he runs aways .... where and why game doesnt bother to explain anything about ? its just like : ok you defeated main vilian in game , but lets not talk what happen with him past that point.....

Infinite was a wasted opportunity to make a worthwhile villain but he ended up being Mephiles 2 Electric Boogaloo (an overly edgy villain without any real motive except being a plot device for the game's end)...

At the end it's implied that the Infinite you see is just another of the Phantom Ruby's illusion.

Eggman takes him away from you after the third fight even though he was willing to keep going and it's implied he either kills him or locks him up and takes his copy of the ruby (Eggman uses the original one from Mania, Infinite uses a purer copy than the prototypes, like the fake chaos emerald in SA2). This is to prevent Infinite betraying him like many of the people or creatures Eggman has used in past games have done.

After the events of the game, it's never explained what actually happened to him. Is Infinite dead? Or still locked away in Eggman's now destroyed base?

The mod Sonic Forces Overclocked takes the latter interpretation.

Infinite was a bad character anyway, a wasted opportunity.

Even Metal Sonic deserved better (at least Mania had a great fight against him)

Chaos? He was gone in one cinematic...

At least there's a mod for it: https://youtu.be/xtd5VaiSy5I

Nowhere to be found in the game's files. The only time you ever see Chaos is during a pre-rendered cutscene. (BTW all the cutscenes in this game that don't have the Avatar character in them are pre-rendered)

And they barely looks any better than in-game... Even 2006 and Unleashed had great-looking opening cutscenes.

He doesn't run away, Eggman forcibly recalls him. We'll hopefully find out in the sequel.

Are you sure that the infinite you saw wasn't in fact just another illusion from the ruby?
Also what sequel? I'm pretty sure the game will barely connect it with Forces (like how Colors barely references Unleashed or how Generations doesn't really connect with Colors).

They'd better not bring Infinite back in the 30th anniversary game.

Not much to talk about him, he's just a pathetic villain. So pathetic in fact that I can't even listen to his theme anymore, he ruined a perfectly enjoyable song to me.

I was expecting an actual threat like Mephiles, but instead I got some weakling who found a magic rock and thought he was a god or something. Also the fact that Sonic and Deviantart OC managed to defeat him with ease without even needing Chaos Emeralds speaks for itself.

Mephiles was overly edgy.

I think that Sega needs to make Robotnik as a great and actually threatening villain once again.

A threat nonetheless. Unlike Infinite he didn't just bark. He actually murdered Sonic. Like him or not he got the job done.

Forces tried this, but it failed miserably because writers are incompetent. They tried to make it sound as bad as possible, like Sonic being tortured, which is complete and utter bullscheisse because Sonic didn't have a scratch on him.

The last time where I could actually take him seriously as a threat was in Sonic Unleashed, where he actually splits the planet into pieces, awakens Dark Gaia and kickstarts the plot, making it feel like a race against time to fix the planet, save the citizens that live on it and its many locations and undo the damage Eggman has done.

He also felt like a genuine threat in Sonic Heroes, and he wasn't even the main villain in that game, Metal Sonic was, or even in Adventure 2 where Eggman blows up half of the moon in one scene. There's also this:
