Mike Arcade Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Okay, so with an apparent copyright claim with Sonic Frontier/Frontiers, it was long overdue that we made this topic. There's also a rumor going around that this game will be a Soft Reboot of the games. With all this in mind, what do you all think about this? Let us know if you are looking forward to the next entry in Sonic the Hedgehog.

The guy who said it was got it off of something he claimed Ian Flynn said, and Ian set the record straight that he never said anything like that. Plus the guy is one of those "I want to be first, screw accuracy" types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know if you are looking forward to the next entry in Sonic the Hedgehog. I’m curious and cautious. I feel it maybe a repeat of sonic boom with the games being dull and/or a buggy messes. Sure it had interesting concepts but concepts can only go so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoKat Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Wot IGN has to say about it - Sonic 2022 May Be Called Sonic Frontiers Quote Sega recently filed new trademarks for a number of its franchises including one for a game called Sonic Frontiers, which may well be the name for Sonic's mysterious 2022 entry. As reported by Gematsu, the video games publisher filed a number of new trademarks last month, including a move to secure a trademark in both Japanese and English for a new game called Sonic Frontiers - a move that has prompted speculation around its still-unnamed upcoming Sonic project. While the publisher hasn't stated the purpose of the trademark, it is possible that it could be the name of the new Sonic Team game currently in development by the studio. The game was initially teased back in May during a short trailer that showed Sonic running through a forest-like setting and confirmed a 2022 release date. Sounds like it's still in devolpment. Quote Rumours have centred around the idea that the new Sonic game could take an open world approach, something that the name Frontiers would tally with, although it must be stressed that this amounts to speculation at this point. So, more like Sonic Adventure (?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTraveller Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Forgive me if I feel...pessimistic. But Colours Ultimate's state, especially on Switch, kind of confirmed to me that Sega just sees Sonic as a quick buck. If they rush out a port that someone else made, I fear what will happen to something with any actual ambition in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the issues on the Switch were due to an unsupported emulator and the guy who made the bug video admitted it a few days later. Most of the issues that were shown werent actually there when people played on actual Switches But hey, it gave us watching Arin Hanson get extremely angry that he played through an entire Sonic game that had no major bugs or issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever this game will be, it'll certainly be interesting after Forces, as where else can you take this series after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfsbane Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Ian said if he knew *anything* about Rangers/Frontiers he would be so deep into the NDA territory he wouldn't be able to do his normal #KnowingSmile business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Arcade Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 It has begun! @Wulfsbane has been keeping up with the news on this, and Ian Flynn (best known for writing both Archie and IDW Sonic Comics) is the writer behind the game's story. Discuss, get hyped? Let us know what you think about this so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfsbane Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Ian did the work. He has finally hit his dream to write a Sonic game. This should serve as motivation to a lot of Sonic fans now, whether it's getting into the games, comic, tvs shows, etc. He's already a major improvement over Pontac and Graff... because Ian actually knows the series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Arcade Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 So we got a gameplay preview! And…it’s probably the most underwhelming preview of all time. No combat, just running around. It looks nice, but the top trending comment so far is “It looks like a tech demo.” They really needed to show more. Hopefully they do, because the teaser was better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Arcade Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 While fan reception has certainly been mixed, apparently critic reception has been quite high, unusually high for that matter. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Because this is the most bizarre reaction to a Sonic Game I've seen...probably ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there could be some shenanigans going on with the "hype train"? Or is it simply that the critics think fans are hungry for a -good- Sonic game & the timing is right given that the 2nd movie came out this year (?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing constant fluctuations on how good the game is, Frontiers has literally become a Schrodinger's Cat, we'll only know when it comes out at this point.

You and me both, though considering from the sound of Starfall Islands, I sincerely doubt it. I’m starting to think that this game is more of a test bed for what they could possibly do in the future, if Sonic Team even has a future at this rate. I want this to be good, but I have my doubts.

Mike Arcade Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 They are hitting HARD with the soundtrack for this game, at the very least it's OST so far is FAR BETTER than Forces ever was. So that's a good improvement at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoKat Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Sonic Frontiers looks like a live service game with all its free updates [Polygon] Quote The “open-zone” Sonic game, which blends traditional 3D and 2D Sonic levels with open world exploration, is going to be getting a whole lot of content down the line. Sega announced a release timeline for updates that showed that the game will be getting new features, modes, additional story, and character skins in 2023. All the updates will be free to everyone who owns Sonic Frontiers. The specific details of what content we’ll get, and when it’ll come out, will be revealed “at a later date,” according to a release from Sega. You can view the graphic below that lays out a general timeline of the upcoming new content. Quote The release comes as a surprise because Sonic Frontiers unfolds like a traditional open-world RPG with a beginning, middle, and end. The new content won’t cost more, so it’s not like a standard DLC update. So now it seems like Sega and Sonic Team are giving the game the live service treatment. If you don’t want to wait super-long for a treat, players will be able to download the free Holiday Cheer Suit DLC on Dec. 21. If you get it, you’ll be able to dress Sonic in some cute holiday-inspired apparel. So what's a "Holiday Cheer Suit"? ;D {Edit: I guess they're too chicken to call it a Santa suit :P} Edited December 13, 2022 by MoKat added a comment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Arcade Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 It’s the Birthday Hedgie! They gave him the stuff you’d expect from this update, challenges, the usual. They gave Sonic back his Spin Dash, which was long overdue in a real 3D Sonic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
