Sonic General Discussion Zone Act 1: New Frontiers

How to make someone die in one sentence fragment

Perhaps that was a bit of an exaggeration, though I think ever since Sonic Colors the game franchise's overall writing quality took a massive hit.
That's why I'm hopeful with Ian Flynn's inclusion in Frontiers, we might get some writing on par with Pre Colors Sonic

this is an absolute ******* banger

 

[Dalesean027]

this is an absolute ******* banger

This was apparently said about it

Sounds like Sonic is really gonna go through it

 

[Dalesean027]

I mean it's officially advertised but still look at your own risk

Spoiler

WHAT THE **** THEY JUST CASUALLY DROPPED SUPER SONIC GAMEPLAY

 

[Ovrhide]

WHAT THE **** THEY JUST CASUALLY DROPPED SUPER SONIC GAMEPLAY

For literally THE FIRST TITAN on the FIRST ISLAND.

 

[Dalesean027]

For literally THE FIRST TITAN on the FIRST ISLAND.

Spoiler tag that lol BUT FR RIGHT

Spoiler

I'm assuming this is going to just be something you have avaliable and it looks to me like there are enemies who can actually take the emeralds from you either that or you actually just lose it for a good while early on

 

[Dalesean027]

Thinking maybe hyper sonic could make his return or maybe even something new

 

[Coolboy6]

Bro this game is being leaked to death

 

[Tipper17]

Wat was the leaks again?

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Wat was the leaks again?

Spoiler: Leaks

Seems like Super Sonic is going to be available to play with as a gameplay mechanic early on into the game

 

[Ovrhide]

Wat was the leaks again?

There’s no leak. It was a trailer that showed super sonic gameplay.

 

[Ovrhide]

Is this the first game where we will have more than 2 tier 2 bosses? Going by island numbers, there will be 5 guardians. And who knows of an actually true final boss. So potentially 6.

 

[Dalesean027]

On the smaller side of things

This looks nice

 

[ShakeResounding]

Sonic fans are gonna be eating good in November

 

[BlastX]

The trailer with the explicit version of the song.

 

[Ovrhide]

At least 6 new tier 2 sonic characters (5 guardians and Sage/secret boss) for the wiki.

 

[Ovrhide]

This makes infinite so underwhelming in comparison. He really should have been a super form level foe. He wasn’t even the final boss, and the final boss didn’t require a super form either. Jesus the cucking.

more news at 11

Watch as Sonic eventually manages to defeat the guardians without Super Sonic and finally shots his Base to Super Form level.

I mean to be fair here, what isn't underwhelming when it comes to Sonic Forces? The entire game and its story range from mediocre to just plain awful

true

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Like here's an example I only recently found about:
So you know how generally, one of the main critiques behind Forces was the lackluster and emptiness of the level design? Well apparently, all the levels in the game were designed by a grand total of three people. Two of them had no prior experience with a Sonic game while the other one only had worked on Lost World, another game which had similar issues with the level design.
It does explain why the levels felt so drab and ending things before they could truly get started

Add another one to the list of Sonic’s consistent outliers.

 

[JED]

Add another one to the list of Sonic’s consistent outliers.

Just make a separate key for Frontiers Sonic that simple

 

[Ovrhide]

Add another one to the list of Sonic’s consistent outliers.

Remember when Solaris was an outlier?

next outlier to bust is the perfect chaos vs base sonic. I give it 5 years top before it’s accepted.

 

[JJSliderman]

Honestly I kind of accept it already, when considering Forces and Super Mecha Sonic.
Maybe someday.

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Base Sonic beating Perfect Chaos in Generations is considered an outlier?
A little weird because correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Sonic defeat Emerl when he had the Chaos Emeralds? So it's not the first time that Base has been shown to be that strong

 

[BlastX]

It's because Perfect Chaos is better at using the emeralds than Emerl is, it's why the latter only scales to the Eclipse Cannon while the former scales to baseline Super Form level.

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Makes sense to me I guess, I'm not sure because admittedly I've never played Sonic Battle so IDK what you mean when saying Perfect Chaos is better at using the emeralds

 

[Ovrhide]

Base Sonic beating Perfect Chaos in Generations is considered an outlier?

Different cases, at least a little bit. Emerl doesn’t really attempt to go super or anything, he just is powered up by the chaos emeralds. Chaos is definitely a better user for the chaos emeralds too.

doesn't change the fact that base sonic beating perfect chaos won’t be considered an outlier in the future. Progression of the franchise baby.

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

This makes infinite so underwhelming in comparison. He really should have been a super form level foe. He wasn’t even the final boss, and the final boss didn’t require a super form either. Jesus the cucking.

Everyone that wasn't named Sonic or an OC was cucked in Forces, it's old news and the game has already been bashed beyond the concept of death.

Also I can't wait to play another major Sonic game where Sonic's friends are useless jobber that need to be saved... again.

My snark aside the game looks good but it isn't on must buy list for this year thanks to Ragnarok. Regardless of how Frontiers turns out, at least we can't say Sega didn't try to do something new.

 

[Dalesean027]

Add another one to the list of Sonic’s consistent outliers.

they shouldn't be ignored especially if they've been consistent since super sonic hasn't been prominent in a good long while so whether it makes sense or not, I haven't played whatever the battle one is yall are talking about tho so idk lol

My snark aside the game looks good but it isn't on must buy list for this year thanks to Ragnarok. Regardless of how Frontiers turns out, at least we can't say Sega didn't try to do something new.

Both are honestly a must buy imo then again I do a ungodly amount of gaming so I'd say the same for a lot of 2023 titles as well but definitely looking forward to both

 

[Dalesean027]

Seems Sakurai has been spotted playing frontiers and has enjoyed it commenting that he's looking forward to buying it, I'd say that's a good sign

 

[Dalesean027]

Screenshot dump

 

[Remus1998]

Well it's good to see that the Chaos Emeralds are relevant again after more than a decade

 

[Theuser789]

Can't wait for Sonic Rojo

 

[Bobsican]

Can't wait for Sonic Rojo

Sonic OCs want to talk with you

 

[Shadyboi0]

Say in a hypothetical timeline if we get hyper sonic, green eyes or red eyes?

 

[BlastX]

Blue eyes
