frontiers is a ballsy as hell game for sonic and they're still kinda not quite going balls deep
so its a very sega thing to do, to kinda half ass something amazing
this is why they lost against nintendo
also remember how overly confident they were back then
in marketing
completely ROASTING the super nintendo whenever they got the chance
they had the right to be, they were doing well
and both companies did it, just shat on the other
Lol what
Crazy timeline we live in
That animation looks unfinished
That is a still image skeet
in the thumbnail
That might be why
The funny thing is you can make that point but it doesn’t look so in the thumbnail lol
It still looks off to me
The grinding is from forces
I’d assume hedgehog engine 2?
You'd think maybe they want to do something original
Hedgehog engine 2?
People didn't like forces
Didn’t know it had a new version
Forces was made on that mate
Maybe for the ps5 / new xbox
Skeet it’s rather ridiculous to say that people didn’t like sonic forces so you should change the railgrinding animation
I imagine the new engine can handle more shading effects without compromising the gpu
oh
fair
The hedgehog engine 2 was made before sonic forces, it’s the reason the game is so short and not that sweet
Sorry I'm in pain
and tired
As much as I agree originality and new animations is very cool, I think it’s nitpicky here, there’s a lot of new animations that are cool
Plenty of other games reused stuff all the time, it’s wasted resources to redo it
Like the bridge sonic runs over in the frontiers trailer and jumps over an enemy is right from the death egg, but it doesn’t matter too much
Of course you can overdo this, just not here in my humble opinion
Watched the trailer from a few days ago
I'm not fond of the slow speed he walks at by default, I'm aware it's open world and thus has to be slower than how sonic rly is but my god I'm sure even botw default movement is faster
It'd be nice if they had a mechanic to instantly make you reach a certain speed tbh!
Like, a decent speed, like horse speed in botw or something
like a boost? lol
i think one of my takeaways is how the boost will work, if i can hold it down or if it can be upgraded
i see what you mean with the slow movement but i suppose my only though is if sonic has a skill tree, speed has to be on it a LOT
also idk if anyone shares this but i am more fussed on if simply moving is satisfying
like if the sound design while running is nice or i can look around as he jogs through the world
Kind ofv
But not one that runs out
A permanent "tap this to go fast instantly" button that does not need to be re filled
Like unlimited boost ig
i do agree, but i also am not ruling out it already exists
because the gameplay was not totally clear on it,
sometimes they tapped boost, other times they held it
and with out lack of HUD i have no idea if it ever runs out
also i saw this fucking galaxy brain theory that the grindrails look out of place because as you complete puzzles they complete a circuit which is why some of them go nowhere
and frankly that is such enormous brain shit its probably not true
It'll definitely be limited lol, but you can probs collect rings in the open world
It kinda sucks that in a massive open world game the movement seems so rigid and slow
i think there is an asterisk next to that, because we have no real knowledge outside of educated guessing
i mean lost works run wasnt limited, so its possible
seems to have all sorts of collectibles, so to me rings fuel boost or its infinite in the open world, i presume we'll find out at some point
I'd assume rings fuel it, you can expand it with collectable resources. Like the stamina bar in BOTW
But god knows!
i suppose either is plausible but there are so many collectibles that it could be anything lol
we may even find out
Mhm
Hopefully
I kinda think a delay might help, honestly, bc sega has a tendency to rush shit out. It seems to not be the case here! But you never know with sega tbf
i dunno really, even if you delayed it would they even know what to spend their time on? lol
from interviews and stuff it seems like this game isnt the case, but some of the bits in the trailer says otherwise
its quite confusing
Sonic team will swear left right and centre that their games are well made and polished but then they come out and it's just not the case at all lol
The trailer looks like a cheap fan made game or like, an unfinished PS3 open world game
It doesn't seem like the movement flows either. It's so jerky and stuff, maybe that's just bc of the person showcasing it?
It just seems very recently between these last two games that sega has really hyped up their quality control and dedication to this title specifically
but the trailers are very odd, like I don’t fully understand their goal like this, it would be fine if there was a proper fill trailer, then a month of this?
Whoever was playing didn’t seem great at the game either, which is weird, as it’s from sega
But like.. I like it, so there’s that I guess lol. I’m still very excited to learn more
Don’t worry lads, sonic mobile games are getting announcements
wuuuuut
is it rumoured that it will be talked about today ?
or are you just speculating
Who the fuck speculates about sonic mobile games
I have taught you well
am i an honorary bri'ish yet
I don’t know if I can grant you that, and I’m sure you’d still be totally lost here lol
fair assumption

otherwise here for when its done
yoo
shadow in prime
@flint folio Let me know if there's a 2D sonic announcement
if there isnt
tell me that too
frontiers prologue featuring knuckles coming soon
exciting shit
There's still work to be done, but at least Sonic Frontiers appears to be on a solid track when it comes to adapting the Blue Blur's unique gameplay style to a brand new open zone.
Get our full Sonic Frontiers first impressions in this Sonic Frontiers Preview, covering our thoughts from going hands-on with Sonic the Hedgehog's first foray in...
skill tree, cyberspace confirmed, and fairly positive outlooks
showing none of them
chaos emeralds are unlocked with completing cyberspace levels and completing objectives in them
also there are racing objectives
@atomic topaz outside of the froniters prologue, nothing we didnt expect to feature featured
and it was 12 minutes
iizuka said the game is called "open zone" as its design doesnt cover the same bases as zelda or other AAA titles, it os a 3d action game and is designed like that, not like an adventure RPG
the puzzles in the world are how you unlock bits of your map
apparently there is a parry of some kind
WACK
so just new frontiers
which they were already showing the past 5 days
and the things i mentioned
showing speed sim they played sonic unleashed music and i nearly had a heart attack
well i meant in terms of actual sonic games
origins
not collections
you're narrowing your own scope too much here
there's no real reason to bring out a 3rd game weeks from origins, and 5 months before frontiers
it'd ruin origins marketing and frontiers' month showcase
fuckin sonic dash/forces mobile is getting mephilles and super shadow
and blaze as a knight
so that was actually pretty cool
BLACK KNIGHT REFERENCE??????????????
damn they're actually acknowledging that game
they've done it twice already how are you more surprosed for that than the other two
they acknowledge fuckin 06 of all things

this is just a snippet of a thing, not sure why it says official trailer
also this thing which is a razer xbox controller+charger
Oh hey, glad to see the lightspeed dash return to being a core move
Or at least I think it is?
Mentioning it in that hands on preview like that makes me think it's either a natural moveset thing or unlockable
i assume early unlockable?
but either way, sounds like it'll be less contextual than, say, Generations
which I like, growing up with Unleashed and Heroes
i was pleased to hear the guy was fairly optimistic and positive about the games scope and outlook
i suppose we may get pokemon legends type reception in "its their first time" or something
which i can understand to an extent, but i hope they run with the style, as you could build off of it enormously
Yeah, really hope they do
Though I wouldn't say it's too in Sonic Team's repertoire to really build on things?
this being said as much as id love open world sonic RPGs to exist forever, other stuff should continue to exist
sonic team has probably changed totally about 8 times so who knows
iizuka has said he would like frontiers to define a new style for the character
Ooooh
Building grinding and loops into the world rather than kinda cyber-existing is a better idea
but yeah, seems cool - i hope it continues and the game develops well
brethren
ayy sir percival
though lately all I've been playing Dash for (incidentally using Blaze) is getting the movie event characters then waiting a week for the event to end XD
currently it's movie knuckles
already got movie sonic and longclaw
it's really funny to see longclaw roll
see i play forces mobile and not dash lol
maybe i should start up dash too
can i be offline for that?
I think so
ill have a look
Time to cease chuckling
The flow of the game is basically:
Explore open world > solve puzzles to open up map > find collectibles to improve stats > fight world bosses to earn portal gears > use portal gears to unlock linear Sonic levels > complete linear Sonic levels to unlock chaos emeralds

I know it's a petty thought but no Jason cries
also
Daniel Craig, Or Joseph Gordon Levitt
for some reason this video decided Joseph Gordon Levitt and Daniel Craig are good choices
Not quite sure where that comes from
Actually Daniel Craig maybe
His version of James bond is the most dark and brooding version we've ever had
jason isnt returning for shadow, i would guarantee it
Didn't he say that he only viewed working on sonic as a paycheck
i have no idea
@next tartan Ps plus free games are added today so im bouta install Nickelodean smash bros
its only gonna take 45 minutes
Sweet 😎
I am a little disappointed with this roster
However I laughed really hard at the fact that Garfield is in this game
@atomic topaz voice acting dlc will come soon
Is a free one iirc
Instead of grunts we will get some quotes
its already added
garfield was just talking in the match i played
No Tara strong?
This was exciting for me because I definitely did watch a good amount of Nickelodeon as a kid
just surprisingly didn't watch as much spongebob as I watched other shows on that network
Fairly Oddparents was probably the one i watched the most
in terms of animation
I watched a lot of iCarly but I'm not sure how they could add live action characters to a game like this
so yeah its pretty appaling to not see the one character that was the reason i was hyped for this game
The roster is kind of set up like smash Bros based on how some franchises depending on how big they are have more than one character represented
For that they have spongebob avatar and TMNT with two or more characters
daniel craig huh
Don't they have Arya Stark?
Call me back in 5 years and we'll see how many smash clones have come out
I wanna say it'll be four
I feel like now that smash is actually over a bunch of other people are just trying to follow in its footsteps
Yeah, seems like it was a good time to launch one when the first did
Plus, plenty of platforms Nintendo haven't touched
I feel like Nickelodeon was like fuck it they know that it's a smash clone so let's not hide it at all
Speaking of smash clones, Brawlhalla disappoints me
It's good, I've played a bunch, I love the art style and would absolutely crush HARD on Nix, but they just won't stop with annoying monetisation and tie-ins
Everyone knows the best smash clone is Super Smash Flash 2
naruto 4 life
Yeah Naruto in smash
You don't get that any worlds
Kinda diluting the draw of a platform fighter with a unique cast if you're shoving WWE, Kung Fu Panda, Rayman, TMNT, Steven Universe, Adventure Time and more into it
Smash Flash 2 is the sole reason why I think anyone asking for goku in smash is a fucking idiot
Well also that hes not a game character but
Yeah
Weren't most of those just skins
I'm pretty sure Rayman is the only one with a unique move set
Yeah, they're skins with the exception of Rayman
Which, it's good that we don't have to learn that many extra movesets haha
It would be cool if Lara Croft had her own unique set though
Yeah I remember hearing about her being added in back then and I thought she was an actual unique character
honestly I just don't care for tie ins in this game specifically
i know what you mean
It's not unique like when Soul Calibur does it
Besides being smash but on PC, the draw for me was also the cast of unique characters with interesting lore that have interactions with others
Means you don't have to be a fan of existing franchises to feel like you can enjoy the cast
Sidenote I bought soul calibur 5 today and I actually really enjoy it
Oooh nice!
I hear that game often considered to be the black sheep of the series
But I don't get the hate
It's also very graphically impressive
It looks better than soul calibur 4 which is surprising to me
I haven't much knowledge of Soul Calibur but I can't help but think there's probably a fair amount of people who complain about anything that isn't 2
Oh hey didn't 4 have Darth Vader?
3 and 4 are really good
speaking of tie ins XD
and yes it did!!
I've been playing multiple entries recently and 4 is probably my favorite
Reminds me of how THPS3 had Darth Maul, and THPS4 had Jango Fett
And it's not really because of the star wars cross marketing, surprisingly
SC4 is just a really diverse and well balanced fighting game
it does have some clone characters though
But they're listed under bonus characters so it's fine
yes lol
None of that can happen today which is so sad
I remember talking to AJ about the Tony Hawk remake leading up to release, and hoping they would add something surprising as an unlockable in the place of spiderman
They could have just put Nathan Drake in there or something
But they just went with Jack black in a cop outfit
There is the special edition Ripper character
a mascot for either Santa Cruz or Powell-Peralta
but yeah, not much in the way of unlockable skaters :(
Really surprised Crash isn't available
There are a few pieces of Crash-themed gear
sonic
We should play it together
fuck yes homie
it feels so janky but i like chillin on games with you
Indeed
Still playing chronicles
Met shadow, definitely gonna sit on my team
When he stops fucking off
is shadow cool in that game
I think so
Nice
Though I’ve not seen much of him yet and his effect on the game I don’t remember
But it’s cool he’s here
wait
here's an important question
is there voice acting
Sadly not
But I mean Sonic Rush didn’t have much, and this is a very dialogue heavy game, I don’t think it’d been great quality
I reckon frontiers will be the closest we get for a while
But a more traditional one would be awesome, even if it’s turn based again
What you don't think Jason Griffith was a talented character actor
What I don’t think is that the DS would have brought high enough quality audio for a story heavy game like this, based on how muffled sonic rush sounded lol
Also this was BioWare and not sega/sonic team, so I assume that also played a part
All the dialogue in Bioware's other games had voice acting though
but i see your point
I assume outsourcing sonic and not being stuff BioWare has rights to would have played a part on how far they went
It’s worth asking what was the last non sonic team sonic game to have voice acting
I think it’s not here because of the hardware and it was cheaper, probably
What amuses me is this game has idle animations, and forces doesn’t
Thought it was funny
@flint folio probably gonna stream sonic generations later tonight if your up to join
If I’m not busy I will pop in, depends when really
im on summer break so honestly just lmk
Me too technically, so like 6 or so hours from now is the best for me lol
Usually when anyone I’m with fucks off
aight
I love playin with you too plus it's pretty fun once you get into it
I'll tell you right now the main thing that pissed me off is that it has a dedicated jump button
I hate that in fighting games
specifically smash type games
you dont need it if its fuckin 2d
just pressing up makes sense
its just rather annoying to me
i have played smash for like 10 years
Graphics are terrible too
You just need to get used to it bestie
maybe you can help me with that
Would you be able to do like 5 o'clock my time tomorrow
I'll be out until around then
Maybe 4 actually
Yea I think so lemme check timezones
I think if we do that time it'll be like 10pm for you
Which isn't too bad
If you just want to do like one hour that's fine
Yeah I have class in the morning tomorrow and a meeting with my tutor at 2pm
Yea no worries just hmu when you're free
But I do not work so the afternoon will be fine for that
I guess just try not to fall asleep when I'm trying to ping ya idk lol
Piss plus is pretty nice this month
Yea I saw I'm a platinum it
Will do m y best
@flint folio I got to the part in the video where Scott bitches about sonic colors ultimate
damn its fun lol
I finished it this morning actually
Scott’s sonic opinions seem alright, I mean he includes unleashed content a lot too in previous videos
He really does have a point
sega shouldn't have advertised this as "ultimate"
I mean, if you ask me both of you put more meaning behind the title than I think anyone intended
It seems a nitpick to me
It does add meaning to people being disappointed though I think
If it was just called colors remastered it wouldn't be that big of a problem
I did not see anyone care about the name at all until this video, so I doubt it
lol
I like how the name sounds, just the only thing was it wasn’t a very good remaster lol
this is me doing that
ope aight, uh i can get on in like
an maybe 30 minutes or so
nice nice
@flint folio am in vc
hjiuyblsadfhyuilsdafghyuilrgshyu
yeah
@atomic topaz thought i'd let you know
work faster
If I get home in an hour you think you'll still be there?
maybe?
@flint folio I'm on my way home now I'll join vc if you're still there in 30 minutes
@atomic topazyo im about to get home
sonic 06
what a pog video game isnt that right gamers
sonic boom rise of lyric
that sure is one of the games of all time
joe sure is one of the brits of all time
yes
Gigavirgin Lock Screen engaged
ooh pretty
give frontiers a photo mode and then i dont care if its any good
1:46 was my record for ages
the area where you grind over a bridge i mostly jumped over
cuz i just got 1:46.63 and i thought you got smth like that
cope about the legacy sonic but yk
sorry 46.62 but same thing at the end of the time
pog gaming
the trick mastery skill makes everything about the trick system so much better
i have no idea what perks i have on
as if gigavirgin wasnt already on your birth certificate
its the first line of my cv (resume)

We talk with Sonic Team Creative Officer Takashi Iizuka to find out the origins of Sonic Frontiers' "Open Zone" design, the split between that design and the traditional linear 3D Sonic levels, and the lessons learned from Sonic Adventure that went into Sonic Frontiers. Find out all of this and more in this Iizuka-san interview for Sonic Fronter...
big man iizuka got shit to say
He legit finished this interview saying he hopes he can use the work done on frontiers to make another adventure game sometime
fuckin hell
@atomic topaz what a nuts way to end an interview
before this he said "i haven't thought about my next game yet"
i just thought this was a small iizuka interview for people like me to enjoy just for extra insight but no, there was that

Well I should have expected that
lol im just kiddin
i loved what ive played of adventure 2
the knuckles stages are mildly annoying tho
a new one is long overdue
Adventure 2 is also one of if not the highest rated sonic game among anyone who’s played them, and at the very least it’s the highest rated 3D game
So even the mention of a continuation set everyone off

Lol big is in prime
THIS IS HUGE
I feel like big has never been acknowledged in sonic tv animation
unless he was in sonic x and i missed it
He was, I don’t recall how much though
Given that I don't remember him at all in that show it was probably just a few episodes
He was definitely in the first episode
oh lol
oh damn
out of 78
thats a decent chunk
Well in that case what I meant to say was
He wasn't in Sonic Boom so its kinda nice to see him again in sonic tv
I mean sure he was in them but there’s a big area where he wasn’t, so representation is cool anyway
Yeah like hes not a hugely represented character so any recognition he gets is pretty cool
I agree
I'm not one of those guys who's like "FUCK big hes fat and stupid and annoying"
I mean he was very annoying in a few entries, but others he wasn’t
And then there was sonic paradox's sonic shorts series where they portrayed him as being actually mentally challenged
"Oho! Oho! Oho!" - Big the Cat
Well I guess there is that
love his bellyflop in Heroes
GUYS
MY FRIEND WENT TO A CONVENTION TODAY
AND MET COLLEEN O SHAUGNESSY
SHE EVEN GOT HER AUTOGRAPH 😭 😭 😭
Dope as hell
Do show
P.s. sonic frontiers had a playable demo at SGF today and fuck me the reception has been excellent
I’ve seen a handful to tweets and they all say the game is smooth, controls are great, all sorts
Previews from them are next week, they’ve played cyberspace levels too.
Excited to hear more thoughts
UPDATE
I got to play Sonic Frontiers!!! I’ll talk about it in detail during @xplay next week but I was impressed.
Controls felt crisp and I wasn’t expecting that!
1763

Just an example
We’ve got a brief look at a #SonicFrontiers cutscene. If we had to guess, Sonic is talking to the AI voice.
260
Here’s a better look at it. Looks kinda like Sky Sanctuary, doesn’t it?
Albeit without overgrowth.
so there is hope
:)
There was always hope
I never thought the game looked bad, I was always excited
Just critics and reviewers being positive is very good news
All the hate its been getting has disheartened me a bit
Important to not read too many of other peoples opinions and form your own
Sure people can not like it, I get it, but I do
Not saying I agree with those people but it was worrying
It happens every time, some arguments are valid, others are misplaced and unlikely
yeah
People wanting utopia 2 are simply expecting the wrong game
lol
But those pointing out clear bugs and performance issues are very right to point it out, and perhaps bits of the game they don’t like
Just my personal taste in games really sings out to this game, and if things like combat is satisfying that’d sell the game alone
perhaps just give it a month delay to fix bugs or whatever but it seems like the game will actually be good
A month wouldn’t make much difference, see how things develop
you right
If that was a build from about may, I expect the difference between 6 and 7 months won’t change much
If it stays that kinda buggy then I’d be pretty disappointed, but I’ll be quietly optimistic about that
That being said I’m also slightly biased toward optimism but I’m just one opinion I suppose lol
My main thought is to see how this month of frontiers hangs out, see how much we see, and reviewers being positive is a very nice sign
Sonic heads, get ya sonic heads!
lol
it def has me more optimistic
its just nice to know that it probably controls well at least
Saw those in game once lol
these were in Smyths today
What if we had a sonic game where there was a floating sonic head like like the floating Mario head in Mario 64
like on the menu
Kinda surprised I haven't seen someone do that with the Adventure 1 Sonic head
yo those Sonic heads are so soft. my gf and I both have one
also Sonic Adventure [3?] hype rn
I'm very excited for Frontiers too
Frontiers interests me, I wanna see how the final product ends up, and what the fanbase does with it
Probably won't end up playing it for a while, I don't really have the kind of money to be buying full price games
(Or at least I can't justify the purchase to myself)
That’s awesome!
if there was ever a picture of Joe meeting Roger i think i would explode
I’ve never met anyone famous, but I’ll try one day
you'd best try and make sure roger is the first one lol
or any actor who's worked on sonic
hell if it was someone from the new Sonic Prime i'd probably still explode
I think the most famous person I've met is the voice of K-9 from Doctor Who?
hell if you met Ben Schwartz i'd be just as impressed
maybe more
because you would have met Jean Ralphio Saperstein
one of my FAVORITE recurring TV characters
I met the 8th doctor
And the red mighty moprhin power ranger and I met zordon
Zordon gave me his business card
Also qrow from rwby
I have a photo of that one
!!!
WAIT
Waiting
It wasn't a TV movie iirc
Oh it was
Yea he only appeared in that and in a five minute special, TV wise, but he has plenty of comics, books and audiobooks
So the fandom has embraced him as a mainline doctor
thats cool
its a similar situation to how George Lazenby is considered one of the main Bond actors
despite only appearing in one film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969
He was never not a mainline doctor
It's more that he loved the role, and big finish gave him a lot of opportunities to play it after the movie
oh
it is still kinda comparable to bond tho
if we're pairing bonds to doctors, would Daniel Craig and Christopher Eccleston go together?
wait are you saying this based on appearance or tone?
because Craig's 007 is really cold and grounded, more in line with Fleming's novels
is eccleston's doctor more dark?
now that I think about it what AM I basing that on
I'm guessing in part appearance
can't remember if his run as the doctor is more dark
It is very gritty and oddly realistic
Compared to what came before it, it's fuckin scary
In the first episode of his run a bunch of killer mannequins are chasing him across London and it's creepy
He straight up just let someone die in the second ep
But then, old who is campy even if it's a serious tone (such as genesis of the daleks)
Eccleston and Craig were both actors who played grittier and darker versions of what were campy characters even if they weren't always intended to be campy and they both did it wonderfully
indeed, last week i rewatched Skyfall and my GOD it is even better than i remembered
i cant speak to Eccleston as ive only watched like 2 episodes from the Matt Smith run and basically nothing else, but it sounds really unique!
@grizzled stone
I do love the vibes of his run, hanging around 2005 London is my kind of aesthetic
stuff like Rose's fashion
Sir, this is the Sonic thread
Stop making me excited that someone actually cares about the blue cunt
british sonic
God, I can't wait for origins
God, I can’t wait for frontiers
oh you mean because the thread shows when there are new messages
Yes
my bad we got carried away lol
Ayo
Did he just fucking chaos confuckyou that shit
account's bio made me lol
Skeet when someone waits for a bus:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
bruh lol
also what
i did not
then do
fair
LOTS of frontiers B-roll is out there, this one includes the ghost girl
right at the end, briefly
the opinion on this game is shifting, iizuka has some very interesting things to say on some of the mixed reactions
the playtesting feedback and demo at SGF has surprised me with how positive its been
gonna spam this chat with info as i find it
slow down at 19 seconds for a surprise flip?
AT 37s HE DOES IT AGAIN
the fuck is that
Watching the new Sonic Frontiers footage made me realize how much aimless wandering made the first reveal feel so slow
1240
288
Fun look at reveal footage vs now
fairly positive little article
fairly "iizuka out of touch" clickbait going on, and you could sure make comments about marketing but putting that aside there is good news here
From TheGamer's hands-on of the game:
- the settings include 12 or so sliders to customize the way Sonic controls. There are five different sliders related to Sonic’s speed, as well as turning, acceleration, resistance, and more.
937
257
Like tuning a car haha
Jokes aside, that's neat
Actually, another joke: Shadow's shoes in Sonic 3 should be Reeboks
i have posted a multitude of things only to be greeted by near radio silence for most of the day
probably should have said something about doctor who
my excitement remains even if it is difficult to share it lol
yeah sorry this is Sonic as in the screwdriver
I don't really have too much to say I guess? I'm not great at carrying things.
I like the look of Frontiers so far, seems really interesting to get this different take with bits of everything past
I am a little worried about the holiday release date, but that's more because I watched those episodes of What Happened? and am now paranoid about Sonic games releasing for holidays
I guess I wonder why the HUD isn't there yet?
Well unleashed released in the holiday too so I can’t complain, though I mean, I don’t have much to say on that either, I don’t really care much?
HUD doesn’t seem to be there to show gameplay more clearly, I guess it’ll come, whenever SEGA allow it
Just the more things come out the more excited I become, especially with sliders to customise sonics controls and the more interesting story from Ian Flynn
Ooh yeah, that's really nice to see
I guess I’m, if anything, more excited than most, so I am struggling to find anyone to convey that with other than people who are like “yeah idc imo” and then I just melt and die
Like many many firsts here and even just the convincing positive response is nuts, the newer footage even looks much better than before
I think I just want a sonic game I spend hours and hours in the vanilla game, I like mods but I’m not too fussed about a good chunk of them, and the idea of a huge open sonic game sounds great for dicking around in
I read an article that says it plays better than it looks which honestly would be great lol
And would make sense!
I have posted a good chunk of that
Though there’s a few dedicated accounts posting all the articles and I’d clog up chat doing so myself, sonic stadium posted almost all of them, I read a couple
Also there’s about 5 minutes of extra footage and most of it looks much better than the 14 minutes or so we got from IGN
That trailer looks absolutely fabulous wtf
The 14 minutes of ign footage looked boring as fuck bc it was around what seems to be the equivalent of the towers in botw
And ergo, it's slow
Navigating around obstacles and terrain at speed in an open environment is fun, kinda wonder if any parallels could be drawn to the Tony Hawk games
I mean, In the extra footage they climb the tower again, but quicker
Bc those towers are slow too. If you saw footage of link climbing those towers and nothing else it would be boring as fuck
I have literally seen this comparison and it surprised me
Oh fr lemme lookie
BOTW towers were kinda mini puzzles in themselves, which made them fun
ayyy
I’ll get up the full video

Tower is about 1:57 in
Not lightning fast, but much faster
Combat looks good as fuck
Tysm bestie
Literally all of this is better than the IGN footage lol
And it’s fuckin B roll
Who is marketing this game
What does b roll mean
What I mean is it’s just other guff that I had to dig for
Also fwiw, ign have never been "good" or "entertaining" or "good" with their footage of games
This is random ass videos that I didn’t see advertised anywhere but from fans or small channels
The fucking IGN first videos are from sonic team how the fuck
I'm convinced they just pull some random fucker in off the street, give them a controller and inject some sort of drug into then
How the FUCK is it that bad
I have no idea, like going slow to show of the world is cool and I get it, but even that was poor
Show the world off by stopping a few times, not going s l o w in a game about speed
We’ve not seen a skill tree and it almost definitely was on the hud
I would enjoy a video of speeding around to certain areas and going slow when you get there
Oh did you see the blurry ass demo footage? We see the HUD somewhat
Much better image
Oh my god I didn't but oh my god finally
What does it do when you get 400 rings tho hm
Also, sonic seems to be able to throw a ring or something which is kind of cool
It's like that Saturn game where he threw rings bc it was 2.5d and they didn't invent the homing attack yet
Afaik you can increase ring capacity, could be health
Tails threw rings in 06, although I hated that
Small skill tree for the demo
If only SEGA would show off these very cool parts of the game
It could be a fucking masterpiece and we’d have no clue
That was a great trailer
It's kinda smart? But kinda not???
Builds interest, but also since nobody has faith in sega because they fuck things up more often than they should, it just means everyone's nervous the game secretly sucks and they're hiding the fact it sucks
Iizuka is playing 4D Chess with frontiers
What if all the trailers are shit and then the last one blows your mind with like
Shit you actually care about
Tbf, I loved all these trailers so far except the first
Animation is kinda iffy! But, it looks fun
It is a little, but idk if you noticed but the rail switching animation was fixed I think, or whatever in the trailer happened, it didn’t in the other footage
I didn't notice the rail animations at all ngl
Also I need the boost explained to me, sometimes it’s held down, other times he taps it forever
I was more referring to the combat footage
In the reveal trailer sonic flipped the same way for both rails, or the dev had to correct themselves? But in the recent one it was different flips
Ok so boost will make you go like say, 100 sonics an hour for a second then it goes down to 70 sonics an hour so if he taps it he can go 100 Infinitely
Zoomy
Exactly, give me dopamine rush with the go fast button
If the combat stays satisfying those two things alone sells the game to me
Though I really either want that SGF demo or to see switch gameplay

This is a custom course based on Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog (or more specifically its Sonic Generations incarnation). It was an absolute battle getting this thing ...
i saw this
whoops
i saw a mod that added sonic and it was cursed
would be cool MK8 DLC to add 3rd party areas
Don't think that will ever happen for Mario kart 8
But maybe for the next Mario kart game
I heard rumors a while back of nintendo wanting to make Mario kart more like smash brothers
In terms of characters
@flint folio are you playing alot of sonic while being covid'd
i played speed sim for a bit
nice
did the latest event, wasted all my rings
i played like a week ago
maybe two
rebirthed a couple times
then logged off
i havent got chemical plant yet
there is a new summer sonic skin that has the adventure 1 shoes, so thats neat
On my way to platinuming sonic forces
omw to not do that
Epic
I really should play more sonic adventure 2 though
I just hated the knuckles level I was stuck on
the floating televisions do NOTHING
27 seconds · Clipped by elijah · Original video "Knuckles Briefs HD Edition" by Sonic Paradox
@flint folio
fuck i spelled that word wrong
Lol
The TVs are sometimes helpful but I did not like a good chunk of the adventure games gameplay
Treasure hunting is a cool idea but my god was it a pain in both games
same
steve dmed me that
Yeah lol
Hmmmmmm
Maybe they would make a new 2D game, marketed seperately from 3D
thanks steve
you're welcome
I’d pay a small subscription fee for random Steve quips regularly or an equivalent bot
i would do the same for you
Eat shit cunt
billed $1.99, thank you for subscribing to Joe
Amazing
Joe from the future warned me that I think sonic forces is just okay
And better than sonic lost world?
I'm pretty sure there are people that like that game though
I remember it being divisive at best
There’s plenty who genuinely really like forces too
I am not sure how that’s relevant though, since you asked me and not the consensus
Glad to see Jason sees the praise he gets
Also anyone noticed he looks a little like gigachad
very chadly
The best look we had at one of the Cyberspace levels and yes it is Sky Sanctuary
111
Cyberspace levels lookin like generations but again
Hmmm
wait there ARE multiple levels???
For cyberspace or the overworld? Because both are confirmed to have many
Even the frontiers website mentioned about 4 at least, and cyberspace is likely 7 different stages unrelated to those biomes
Cyberspace are boost levels likely going to be generations style from sonics past, and the biomes/islands he visits will be of multiple styles, though we’ve not seen them
@atomic topaz pinging you since you asked and didn’t respond yet
thats sweet as FUCK
more bang for my buck
Yeah interviews said the game will be about 20-30 hours. With double that for 100%
Since I put 60 hours into mostly vanilla generations, that’s pretty great value
It’s the longest sonic game in history, by at least 2-3x
I think sonic 06 may have been one of the longest, being about 8-10 hours?
hella ambitious
considering so many sonic games are like 3 hours long
Well, forces is 3 hours, colours is 3-4, generations is like 2.5, maybe 4 if you do the side stuff, unleashed was 8 or so, 06 was maybe 10, adventure games were maybe 6..?
So recently, yeah
Frontiers will likely take me as long to finish at it took me to 100% forces entirely
I can see a cool 100 hours being spent
Swag
Based on just replaying levels and walking about really
I always preferred much longer games, I like to stick with stuff for a while
Just as long as the gameplay is good you know which it seems like it is
That’ll be down to opinion I reckon, but it seems well made or at least decently thought out, so if I liked forces to some extent this will definitely be better
It’s good that I’m asking myself how good it will be rather than if it’ll be good
Though based on interviews and shit, it does seem like everyone hasn’t got the full picture yet, I get that’s likely because the videos haven’t been great, but it’s good to know there’s plenty left
man if theres a publically released demo
i'll play the shit out of it
Fella if that happens I am g o n e
I mean depends how long it is but yeah I know what you mean
Bruh I’d replay shit like that for ages, idc how long it is I’d play it on everything
Tbf I could really use a demo for performance
I know most of us are going to buy it anyways but I think we would still love to try it beforehand
Performance is my biggest worry, I’d like to try it on every system I own
im just gonna get it on whatever i have at the time
that isnt switch
so either ps4 or ps5
Well you have many things
i dont have a ps5 yet tho
also you know i meant the most current lol
its obv coming out on ps4
I’m just saying you have a switch too, I’m very interested to see how that runs
sonic game will run fine on ps4 i think
It doesn’t look that demanding, should run fine on everything I own
lol yeah
that makes more since
its closer to ps3 which is what you could compare the switch too
There abouts
Nintendo has rarely been with the other consoles in terms of graphical power
Ever since the Wii really
Well home consoles they were for a bit,
The Wii U was kinda in some ways but not massively?
the last time their hardware was on par with the current gen was Gamecube
comparable to ps2
their choice to have the wii run basically the same graphics as gc was what set them back forever
Then the Wii U was a decent jump and the switch was the exact same thing
wii u was a good 6 years late from the HD competition tho
so they only had a year to catch up before the next gen was released
so they didnt
Yeah it was, but the Wii U to the switch was yet another side step in graphical power
yeah
its been kind of a shitshow for ports in some respects
Well it’s got the DNA of handhelds, cheaper console for less graphical power
Then companies try squeeze doom eternal on it
Issue is it’s likely Nintendo will do a step up the moment Ps4/Xbone are phased out, so it’ll be pointless for those ports again lol
because like
any remaster of a 360 era game that is released for ps4/xbone that gets a switch port
they try to port that newer version
and wonder why it turns out bad
just downgrade it to the 360 graphics
and dont call it remstered on switch
Would be good to bring back the old Xbox live arcade “HD” games
Just rerelease it in HD
It’d run excellently on switch then
i just hate that they always do it that way yknow
Well yeah, the switch would be perfect for HD ports not massive remasters
the epitome of this fuckery is the Kingdom Hearts cloud version trainwreck
Lol cloud versions on a portable console
everyone knows they should've just tried to convert the PS3 version of the final mix remasters
you just dont have to use ps4 version
It happened once, like with KOTOR?
It got a remake announced and the switch just got the original
yeah like
im glad they did that
It’s a good way to do it
all the old lucasarts games coming to switch has just been really nice
like im not buying them cause most of them run on my pc, but its cool
Portability is nice, I can’t take my PC everywhere
Hell, I wouldn’t even wanna take a laptop everywhere
yeah
Rereleases on switch kinda hit different anyway
but like, i prefer Republic Commando on a mouse and keyboard
Mouser kerboard
thats fair
Funni
It made me chuckle
happy to amuse ig lol
I’d be a cunt if I pointed out a wrong your or something
I could not hear you say this IRL
I’d probably go harder than gibbon, something that makes very little sense
wanktoaster
Something like that
lol
@flint folio https://youtu.be/0sMjeAYMwP0
No words needed.... enjoy the video!

i bet you've probably seen this but
yeah
i havent had time but i really wanna play more sa2 now
I did that for a bit, then I realised I’m in the boat where I only like 1/3rd of the game anyway
i can see what you mean, the sonic sections are hella fun and fast and full of momentum, then you get to stuff like knuckles
Then the physics on the mech levels suck
i'd say i enjoy the tails mech sections better than those so far
Jumping about and shit feels horrendous and it’s hard to judge
Can’t say I look forward to them
I struggle to enjoy a game when I only really want to play as 2 characters and see the cutscenes
Similar with generations I guess
whose the other character you like
shadow?
i seem to always forget if he was or not
He was or not what
playable
fuck
i went to work and forgot about this interaction lol
He is on the fuckin front you dingus he is the other main character
lol
Plotnum
I’m glad that was still your first response
well yeah you love to say stuff like "please care" when you post something niche
It is my desperate attempt at someone to care about what I’m doing
I own all of the Guitar Hero games on wii
please care
This is the sonic thread
Yeah
So
and
So why would you talk about guitar hero here
I was posting an achievement how is this now about your Wii collection
because i HATE you
You don’t nail this stance very well
There’s more to this joke than being mean and saying jk after
Apparently so
Sonic speed sim added metal sonic
Oh we care about the silly Roblox game
you obviously do
I care about the blue cunt, hence why I keep up
Why do you call him a cunt then
British slang, and my mannerisms are not to be taken so literally
sadly i am american
I know but you can understand not to take things I say so literally
I make that fairly clear
It’s hard to tell if you’re just being nasty to me or ignorant rather than joking

this is not the impression i wanted to have on you
idk i do that alot
i just do
You could not do that, it’s not the best idea for your joke to be rude and just say jk, and it just being a thing you do isn’t the best reasoning lol
well i mean
us jokingly roasting each other is a thing we've done for awhile
idk
It’s not mindless though
Like I have no idea where you were going this point onwards, keep looping back to just an insult that doesn’t go anywhere lol
idk either
Like I get it but you get to a stage where I have no idea what you’re trying to do
Like I just wanna share something but it kinda goes off the rails and it seems odd
That’s what I mean, like “I don’t care” can be funny off the bat, especially before actually responding
But then the rest is like
Huh
man idk anymore
i can't think of anything to say to this
It’s fine
Nothing major, just felt it was worth pointing out
Just wanted to stop like what are you actually talking about lol
im sorry for whatever i made you feel
but i dont really know what else to say beyond that
you're friendship still means alot to me i hope ya always know that man
You too mate, always been the way
I respect that, I also respect calling things out if it doesn’t seem right
Works both ways obviously
yeah
Not sure what point we’re getting at now, but I’m sure it’s all gone through lol
This is the sonic thread
And somehow still the most active sonic channel I am in, I don’t talk much anywhere else
You struggle to find people that aren't questionable
im assuming
Cause isn't it just a big weird cluster fuck out there in the wider fandom
Mostly, plus a huge clusterfuck of opinions it’s really hard to express my admiration for certain things without being ridiculed by someone who disagrees
A lot of the time I’m not looking to debate, I want to just enjoy stuff and express that
yeah ive noticed that about you, its a very admirable trait
I hope we get to see more alternate addon things involving other characters in future
Actually, Shadow would be a perfect fit in Frontiers by the looks of things
Somewhat yeah, but when you’re a fan of sonic it’s constant debate, I just wanna share enjoyment for stuff and be glad I’m a fan, it’s why frontiers has been exhausting with so much negativity and mixed reviews early on, I was not having fun
Glad you appreciate the trait though
Episode Shadow 2????
: )
and yeah literally everything ive seen is people just saying it looks like ass
like wtf
they're giving you an actually huge and ambitious sonic game
Shits changed overtime a lot though, it’s just very tiring to talk about
Shadow 2: Ultimate Boogaloo
Epic
But yeah, little extra things that use the other characters like that, mini-campaigns
I'd love to see that
Wouldn’t it be nice if we got post release content
That'd be lovely
sanic drawing dlc
ill fuggin do it again
do what again
more sanic DLC
Wait that was just a joke
was there actually sanic DLC that I missed
in another game
FUCK
that is actually awesome
now enjoy your sleep, i didnt mean to keep you sorry lol
Lol it’s ok, the DLC is free too
epic
still doesn't beat the big budget live action movie actually acknowledging it
True
Still can't believe we live in a time when where that shit is real
