Sonic The Hedgehog Games

Rather appropriate that Sonic Frontiers comes out on the same day as Election Day in the U.S.

I'll reserve my opinions untill I actually play it once I am home, but I rather stay optimistic, I just want sonic to be good ok.

Finished the first island today (important stuff only, all Cyberspace levels with all sub-tasks done, story progression) and have to say that this game is pretty fun so far. It has some jank (especially in the 2D stages), but I won't write a wall of text now. Obviously because I haven't finished the game yet.
And god damn the song of the first boss made me feel fucking old.

Good job, Sonic Team. You managed to not fuck up this time, surprisingly.

Edit: The only thing that actually bothers me is the pop-in of platforms.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

Yeah, the general consensus I've heard is that, despite some problems, Frontiers is a huge step in the right direction for Sonic. Color me impressed. The blue fucknugget actually kinda pulled through.....still gonna wait on a sale though.

of course the game has Denuvo and im too lazy to set up the switch emulator. being a pirate in current year sucks.

Not expecting a game of the year candidate here, just hopeful thats its better than most recent entries

Eh, all these games that come out now are almost embarrassingly broken. At least when denuvo is cracked/removed the game will be in a better state.

The real problem is that the only person cracking denuvo is either unhinged or a retard.

It seems like it is (like good, not GOTY material). It's hard to judge because reviews are alwaya shit to whatever Sonic shits out and years after you start seeing people praise those games. I have liked what I've seen tho.

EDIT: Who was in charge of the early marketing of this game? I hope he was fired.

 

[Becomemysoulreaver12]

I am actually having a lot more fun than I thought with this game, after cranking all the speed and turning speed all the way up and putting the camera distance to the max the game feels awesome.

Does anyone know how Frontiers runs on the Switch?

After playing it myself on the actual hardware, there's constant environment pop-in when undocked. You can visibly see the LOD in-action as low-res textures and models jarringly switch to better quality ones... after you're within a couple feet of them.

Performance-wise, it's at least running a consistent 30fps most of the time. The main lag-spikes I've encountered in the first island are whenever you complete the missions to unlock the map, the blue dot/grid overlay really gets it tanking performance.

Pop-ins happen on PC as well. Cutscenes are 30fps, stable 60fps otherwise. Let's see if those things actually get fixed or modders have to pick up the slack.
The Cyberspace 1-2 song is my favorite track for now.

I hope it gets some music awards because holy shit the OST is insane. I keep replaying the Cyberspace levels because I want to hear more of the soundtrack in these areas. The island bosses have amazing vocal tracks as well.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

been listening to the OST of frotiers and its actually a damn banger. but that can be said about almost all of Sonics OSTs.

Sorry to break up the Frontiers talk but I recently tried the PC version of Generations for the first time. I only played 1 stage for each version of Sonic but it's pretty good so far. I just wonder if it stays good? People seem to like this one.

I've actually played Generations before but it was the 3DS version, and it's basically it's own game like the DS version of Colors was (which is a very good and overlooked game, nobody talks about it). It was pretty crappy.

people call Generations the best 3D sonic for a reason. its like a love latter to sonic fans. you should check out some mods once you finished the game since the mod scene is big and still active today. i remember installing a mod that lets you play all the sonic day time stages from unleased with the generations engine. a big deal for someone that has never played unleased on the 360 or ps3.

Generations deserves a next gen port imo.

Reading the Frontiers spoilers and the ending is.....extremely retarded.

*being an impatient pirate
eventually any game will get cracked or hit bargain bin prices or get subsidized by fortnite money or playable through some way of scamming MS for free live.
even the weirdo tranny who gives us denuvo free games will eventually be replaced by another autist not hooked on autist crack

I wonder if Generations is to blame for this classic/modern split. They started catering to the fans of the older stuff, which I’ll forgive for an anniversary game, and now they seem unable to stop. Now every new game needs Green Hill, Chemical Plant, and Sky Sanctuary, lest the classic fans get pissed they weren’t jerked off this five-year cycle

It did start with Generations but then it became full apparent thanks to Mania and Forces. I'd even say that the complaints from the classicfags began even before Generations, when Sega tried to lowkey pander to them through Advance and Rush series (and even Sonic 4).
