Frontiers release date supposedly leaked. The ad it’s from went private.

 

 

A day before God of War: Ragnarok. Good luck, Kratos.

There is environmental variety. I almost thought we wouldn't get it from the available gameplay footage.

All this story trailer tells me is 

 

“sonic, don’t push the button” 

 

*sonic slowly pushes the button like he’s a cat sliding a cup full of water off a counter top* 

 

*sonic doesn’t understand why he’s in trouble for pressing the button*

Also throwing this out there, if you enjoy dumb sonic stuff Snapcube just released their real time fandub for Shadow the Hedgehog.  There's probably going to be a bunch of clips and memes taken out of this in the next few weeks.

Gamescom Sonic Frontiers impressions twitter thread

TLDR They liked the demo

 

Edit:...You know what I said probably a few posts back about what could potentially be my perfect 3D Sonic game?  I'm reading through all the controls and moves this game has and it sounds like this game is trying hard.

As mentioned before in the twitter thread, you don't have to jump to do a homing attack in this game.

Better  (arguable considering the fairly shit offscreen quality) of the gamescom demo where you can actually read the subtitles and get a better look at the tutorial section

Eggman cutscene off screen

I'm liking what I've seen of the script for the characters so far...pretty eage to hear everything Ian has written for the characters.

GI put up an article previewing the behind closed doors Gamescom demo

[Sonichuman]

Eurogamer also put up their own article/interview with Iizuka regarding the game

https://www.eurogamer.net/sonic-frontiers-wrestles-with-taking-the-series-essence-to-the-open-zone

 

Shadow will not be in the game,  Iizuka also says that them copying some formats of previous stages Sonic has ran through in the past is on purpose some some of the stages are digital representations of his memories.  There was discourse online about the reusing of some formats so it's nice that they addressed this directly.

If there's one thing Sonic games will never fail at it's the OST.

We post Castlevania fangames and homages in that thread, I think a really good Sonic Homage series fits right in. 

 

I have the first one physical but I only played a few stages. It was fun. I should go back and finish it.

I never got to finish the first game. This is good incentive to finally do that.

Japanese Direct apparently had footage of Sonic Frontiers

Looks like we'll be able to go Super on bosses at least maybe

I'm liking the visuals and animations in this.  Squash and stretch, extreme forshortening.  Very stylized action especially when showing Sonic taking out badniks.  Sonic 1 Buzzbombers.  The aesthetic the got going on with the background for green hill.  Eggman sounds like Mike but it's really hard to hear if its him or not.   Also liking the design of his mech  in a later part of this trailer which looks like a variation of the Egg Dragoon.

 

Don't know how I feel about Sonic and Shadow being at odds with each other without the context behind it considering where they are relationship wise in both the games and the comics.  Shadow being a bad guy just because at this point feels like a wrong step for the character since he had a whole arc to fully pull him out of that. 

 

I'm getting the feeling that we probably have barely seen anything past ep 2 in these small teasers and they're being real secretive about who is playing any of the other characters in this show.  We got Sonic, we heard Big, we've known about Shadow for some time now and still don't know what he sounds like and now they're trying to be vague about Eggman.  I also need a full trailer at this point.

I didn't expect Sonic Frontiers to run at 60 FPS on Switch. I'm fine with a locked 30. I may double dip and get it on PS4 as well.

[Hawkingbird]

I'm undecided on if Frontiers will be day one for me. Last few Sonic games had troubled launches. 

[BornWinner]

Sonic Prime will release with eight episodes. First episode will be long than the others.

There are more previews floating around since the game was playable at EGX...along with some off screen footage that I'll post up when I get a chance.  I'm convinced that running around in the open world is going to be fun at this point.  Sonic is plenty fast and there's footage of sonic using a drop dash to roll down a hill and gain momentum so worried about the world being empty will be moot with how fast he can move.  This game could legit be the start of something great for the franchise.  I'm still hesistant to day 1 just purely on the chance that this game doesn't stick the landing but from what I've seen thus far Sonic Team has successfully transfered Sonic's gameplay into a full 3D space.
