I have been waiting for ages for a Sonic game with a budget. This trailer was cool. I'm in.

Also I'm a sucker for CGI cutscenes (read: obsessed with them) and this seems to have a decent amount

 

[anthony2690]

Can't wait for this, looks great

 

[Mr Hyde]

This looks awesome. First 3D Sonic that looks good and that I'm interested in. Always favored the 2D ones because Sega always failed to convert the franchise into three dimensions. I hope this is the one.

 

[Kenshin775]

I dont read the Sonic comics but everyone says Ian Flynn is a great writer. I am not looking for shakespeare but just a story that is engaging and has likeable characters

 

[begotten]

I don't care about this game but it clearly looks 100x better than it did after it's first reveal. It actually looks like a (good) Sonic game now. Hope it does well, might buy it later on down the track.

 

[Punished Miku]

Looked good since its first showing. Still looking good. Nothing has changed.

He isn't bad, but I wouldn't praise him either. Had some great momments on the comics, while some other momments are just mediocre at best. He still miles better than Ken Penders mind you.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Looking good,

 

[Codes 208]

No chao garden gameplay

0/10

 

[Nankatsu]

Still not sold on it, but the trailer made the game look a bit better for me.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Looks very weak...and launching one day before GOW:R? Talk about dead on arrival.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Doesn't look bad.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I will buy it if they confirm human/animal inter-species romance scenes.

I mean I'm no marketing specialist but I don't see GOW:R interfering with Sonic Frontiers very much. A little for sure, but not like it'll eat all its potential sales. If a Mario game was coming out around the same time? Yeah, I'd say DOA.

 

[Caio]

I'll stay tuned on this one, I wanna see more gameplay.

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Sandwiching this between Call of Duty and Ragnarok feels like a mistake but I'm in when I have time/money. Looks rad.

I actually read **all** the comics just recently, from the first Archie Comics ones to the current IDW run (I clearly hate myself!).
It is a confused mess with too many characters and plot-lines leading nowhere, large chunks of it it was downright painful to read and someone was fk'n obsessed with Echidnas. Afaik, this Flynn guy was tasked with unraveling the clusterfuck and he did a mostly decent job considering what he had to work with. He also leads the current new IDW reboot and it's alright. It starts with a tiresome arc, but it's finding its footing now. The motivation and writing for the new antagonists is unironically good.

 

[Pejo]

I think if the open world wasn't so empty and lifeless, this would look great. The more closed-in areas and on-rails segments look fast and fun, but the open world and "homing float over and punch a robot" gameplay from the other gameplay vids is really janky looking.

I dunno, I'll wait to see the finished game I guess.

 

[squidilix]

RIP God of War

 

[Belthazar]

I'm impressed by how good this looks, day 1

 

[Mister Wolf]

Most promising Sonic game I've seen since Colors. If it gets decent scores like Colors did then its a day one purchase.

 

[rubenburgt]

Never really played a sonic game, but this one looks pretty fun. I might buy this one.

 

[ViciousAgenda]

Looks kinds cool to me

Oh yeah, there's plenty of overlap between those audiences. You should work in marketing.

 

[jaysius]

It really is nice of Sega to use people straight out of college to make video games, hopefully they stop doing it in the future though.

This thing still looks like pure shit.

[Connificent]

I thought that green world was the whole playing ground lol

 

[Captain Toad]

I can't see a world where this gets any higher than a metacritic in the 70s.

 

[Little Chicken]

Looks much better than the footage they released a while ago.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Sonic needs to stay in 2D

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Looks good

Waiting for GamePass

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I hope they release a demo to try out

 

[Alter_Fridge]

I hope they release a demo to try out

I remember the days when we didn't have to beg for demos, they were a given

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I remember the days when we didn't have to beg for demos, they were a given

Me too. Used to look forward to them particularly after big shows like E3.

I'm sure there is overlap in the Playstation ecosystem. What proof do you have that there isn't?

Thats why you cant compare apples to oranges. Yoshis wooly world and sekiro came out the exact same day and both sold very well because theyre both aimed at different audiences

Comparatively a game like horizon zero dawn got its lunch ate because it was filling in almost all the same notes as BotW and we all know where the hype train went there…aaand then it got its lunch ate again by arceus and ESPECIALLY by Elden Ring for almost the same exact reasons.

 

[Hot5pur]

Looks like a bad attempt at Mario Odyssey. Environments look bland and empty, not sure why Sonic needed to be open world.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Never stopped being excited about this!

 

[Havoc2049]

Looks solid. I'll probably get it.

 

[Belthazar]

I'm sure there is overlap in the Playstation ecosystem. What proof do you have that there isn't?

One is a "Mature 17+" rated game on a single platform, the other is rated for "Everyone" and is also being released everywhere.

 

[lovetalkgames]

Because it's open? Did Odyssey pioneer that kind of game?

 

[SegaShack]

They couldnt even remake the genesis games properly. Good luck with this.
