Sonic Frontiers Thread - PS4, PS5, Xbox, Switch, PC

Wow that combat looks so satisfying…

When Sonic comes back in the next Smash Bros please use this new move set as a base, k thx

 

The absolute king managed to work in a mention of BEAN

 

That second combat clip is so sick. I wasnt too impressed by the combat before but if getting good at it means I can pull off sick shit like then I'll be pretty satisfied

 

Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence Part 2

Oh that ending is going to create a lot of theories...

 

The best thing about this entire prologue is Orbot and Cubot confirmed to not be in the game

 

I've preordered the game

eat me, internet people

 

Your profile picture matchs with your comment.

 

I'm gonna pre-order the game as well. I was very mixed and somewhat harsh on the game until recently. Seeing all of this footage and hearing people's opinions has turned my opinion around completely. Running around the map collecting portal gears and vault keys ala Bowser's Fury sounds incredibly fun. Seeing people finally explore the combat system and opening it up has been exciting, it legitimately looks really fun!

 

I'll be right behind you once I figure out how much I do or don't care about the stuff in the digital deluxe edition.

The recent surge of previews has me pretty excited. Kinda wild thinking that the release date is so close now.

 

Did it a while ago! I don't know where you're gonna pick up yours, but my preorder came with a pretty lovely steelbook, so that's always nice.

Wish we could get the deluxe edition physically for these games, but the bonuses are so piss worthless for Frontiers I don't actually mind it too much this time around, haha

 

Looking at footage I think they did combat and movement right, which is big. Level Design in both open world and cyberspace is rather...eh. Even if Sonic Team takes another 4-5 years to make a game, at least the modding scene will likely rival that of Generations imo, and not be like LW and Forces

 

Forces' modding scene is even more active than Generations, no? As far as I recall, Generations was a lot of level ports and character model swaps, with the most ambitious thing being the Unleashed project (really hoping Melpontro Generations comes out someday...) and a couple of wholly original levels. Meanwhile, Forces has Overclocked and Reimagined which do a lot more with the game in my opinion.

At any rate, the modding scene for Frontiers will likely be huge. I hope SEGA takes steps in the future to better enable modders to work with the game given that they're already such a fan-friendly company when it comes to this stuff.

 

Can't wait for this game to be out so people can stop hurling insults at each other over a video game

 

Generations mods are getting fairly advanced, new moves, a completely in game customizable Sonic, adding Unleashed’s score system back into the game (basically anything in Unleashed that’s not related to the Werehog is now in Generations), the Sonic 2006 mod is getting very advanced.

Forces modding scene is very quiet in comparison. Those two mods you mentioned are extensive but that’s basically it. And much to my disappointment Colors Ultimate has like 0 modding scene but that could change when it comes out on Steam?

 

I just got a mail from Nintendo saying that the pre-load will be available on the 1st November. That's in a week! Weeee!

 

I’m very torn on preordering the game and waiting to see others’ reviews/opinions of it.

From what I’ve seen so far, Frontiers seems to be very ambitious.. Johnny’s gameplay and spotlight video really opened my eyes on what we may be getting since I haven’t really followed much of its development.. my only concern is the open world gameplay and all the collectibles needed to obtain that 100% status

The thing is with Mario Odyssey, there was only one main collectible (power moons) but the tasks needed to get them were a lot of fun and innovative.. the level design and capture ability contributed to the fun factor. I wonder if Frontiers will fall under this category.

Other games like DK64 and Breath of the Wild have many collectibles and it just makes me wonder if Frontiers will be worth completing.

Plus my gaming sessions are not what they used to be (maybe that’s a good thing depending on the gamer and his/her personal time) so my optimism has grown but just not ready to commit yet.

 

Oh much like death and taxes, it will continue perpetually. But at least it will die down a little bit when the game is out

Saw this interest tidbit from Ohtani on Twitter, basically confirming there will be dedicated music tracks for each Guardian fight and Cyberspace stage.

Lastly, spoiler tagged because I'm speculating based on the new Chaos Island footage... + - While watching the Chaos Island stuff I noticed there's a big door on the side of the mountain, it looks kinda like the big door from the Kronos tutorial, but more purple-ish. Might just be me, but I get the feeling we could be going inside some kind of Hot Crater type of cavern once that door is unlocked... or maybe it's just a tunnel for fast travel. Hm.  

 

That comic reminds me a bit of the introduction to the Dark Side story in Adventure 2.

I love Big, he’s the best. Honestly this is probably the best way they could’ve handled how to explain his presence, lmao.
