It’s peak for sunset heights and levels being redeeemed

Shadow Generations is peak, but this isn’t Sega’s peak.

9:01 yeah...we are not getting it now i'm sorry i don't wanna be the bare of the bad news or a pessimistic person i just don't don't see it happening considering the fact the interview lizuka had this year said something about not making a chao game and it can't be seperated from the adventure series and such

11:01 fin.

Shadow Generations may not the peak of the franchise, but it's one of the strongest entries, and that alone is worth celebrating. After a decade of disasterpieces and a half-step in the right direction, it's refreshing to have a game that's actually good again.

The only things I don’t really like is how you can’t change the music in white space and you don’t see the bridge connecting to Sonic’s White Space, which could’ve just been something where you could run on it and if you go to far you die. They also could have Sonic’s white space visible in the distance Other than that it’s really good For the next game, have Shadow have Crush 40’s music, while Tails has an upbeat theme, Knuckles is rap and Amy has a lofi theme I wouldn’t mind Frontiers 2 to have the Frontiers boost, as long as there’s an optional upgrade for the og boost

It is the Peak for now AT least

Great video! Really liked the editing and you had some interesting talking points. Only thing I would change is some of the audio mixing is a little off, just feel like the BGM is a little too loud at some points but other than that good stuff

bros running out of video ideas

Well ya, sonic adventure 2 is peak, but still, it’s a great game

Great video 👍

It is the peak

I 100% agree. I don’t even think Sonic Team wanted this to be the peak. But I saw it as an experiment. One that went extremely well.

always good to see more realistic, optimistic takes on shadow gens than the stupid negativity i see a lot - it has some issues(SHADOW 05 MY GOAT :sob:) but if frontiers is given the proper development cycle it deserves and the budget it needs - we may see sonic rise to heights we once thought it could never get to again.

Bro came out the gate swinging!!! Loved the video and welcome to KZbin!

I really like the fact you see the bigger picture here which i like it that you can see...despite this franchise is 3 decades old it still has alot of potential and i agree they can do better you gained a new sub.

That title and thumbnail had me thinking differently, thought it was another person hating on Shadow Generations just to hate 😭 Now that I know what you're on about, I 100% agree. Shadow Generations is the current peak, but we can go so much higher. The quality of Shadow Gens and the scale of Sonic Frontiers may genuinely create one the best video games of all time. I was already extremely excited for the future, but this video some how managed to increase it even more. Great video btw, editing quality is very nice. 👍🏾 8:03 Unleashed? Does Colors just not exist?! In fact, I'd argue Colors is more original than Unleashed, since the ideas were completely crafted from the ground up, and Unleashed's was based on real world locations. This isn't to know down Unleashed tho, still love both games ❤️

They don't need to go higher. It's already peak.

nobody sane thinks shadow gens is the peak. people are just glad they're learning & improving. usually we get a mid game, a bad game, then a slightly better mid game, then another bad game. Mania was peak 2D, then we got Forces the bad game, Frontiers was the slightly improved mid game, this was when we were supposed to get disappointed again by getting a lazy Generations remaster & a tacked on Shadow expansion that was like 2 levels long, but they under sold it & it ended being practically a full length Shadow game. which was basically Forces but with drastically improved controls. they're getting better to the point where, people feel comfortable enough that they COULD now do a Heroes or SA1 remake & possibly do it justice. then if they do those justice, that could lead to a Solid Unleashed remaster, a solid DA2 remake & possibly an SAQ3 that actually lives up to expectations. Shadow Gens isn't perfect, but they're going in the right direction, which is all we can hope for after 25 years of mixed results. Sonic fans complain a lot, but we have to encourage them when they get it right. here's my issue... I heard Sonic Team didn't even make Shadow Generations. I heard some other Sega team did this game. makes sense that it controls so much better than usual.

Who’s calling this game the peak 😭 It’s a solid A tier game but calling it the peak is crazy

it is super clear from the quality of the games and from several interviews that the success of the movies has given the games bigger budgets and more development time, Sonic movie 3 will be even more successful than movie 2 and maybe even more than with movie 1 combined

Most based person in this entire fandom HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 48 SUBS?! (49 now)

MAN, what a video. if we were on insta i would have put the "absolute cinema" meme. 10/10

What a well crafted video and i agree with many of your points! One thing I'd add is, carrying over the UI design of SXSG into the Frontiers sequel. Looking back at QTE's from Forces and Frontiers, they looked quite amateur ish since they covered up the whole screen. But with SXSG, they're not as intrusive and look more professionally designed! Its a small thing, but I'd like to see that carry forward.

Oh hell yea. This was great man. I really do hope we can a sonic game even better than this

Really good stuff, dude! Keep it up

One thing that I hope is majorly improved in the frontiers sequel is the combat. I don't expect dmc or bayonetta, but I want combat that makes me feel engaged and doesn't feel like style with no substance. Wish they would have more moves that have sonic rolling and not punching and kicking too.

IMO It's the current peak, but they can go even higher. Like, the game was great don't get it twisted but it could've been even better with some things: 1. 2 Fully 3D Acts which we haven't seen since Sonic Heroes 2. A better OST (IMO) 3. The Prime Cast for the VA's (Kirk, Black Doom and Omega are the only current VA's I like now ngl)

I wouldn't soncider Shadow Gens is the best title ever, but I'll consider it as the most polished product and the most fun out of what we've got after the OG Gens. I just wish there was more levels

as a kid I was always waiting for a quality high budget HD sonic game to be on ps4 as I never had a ps3. I am now 17 and can confidently say that I have faith in Sonic Team, Sonic is FINALLY BACK

Definitely not the Peak but I’m glad we finally got a GREAT game instead of just a mediocre and unpolished “Great first step”

The editing is really good, the fact that you used the shadow gens font is an amazing detail, good job 👍

Subscribed. Love your points and editing, completely agree that the next title should be completely original in terms of content, here's to hoping!

I have come from the world of reddit to say You need infinite subs

On the each Charecter having their own Vocalist i feel like Shadow should be the one to stat with Crush 40, it just makes too much sense for me!

Sonic is 30 years removed from his peak, and apart from Sonic Mania nothing else has ever come close.

Damn, for a small channel, the editing looks slick! You've gained a sub from me

great video

Dang, the video quality was so good I straight up thought you already had a couple thousands subscribers. Keep up the good work.

Great video dude. Slick editing, some great suggestions and good use of motion graphics/text. Welcome to KZbin!! Subbed!

Do you think Shadow Generations is the best entry in the franchise? Do you think Sonic Team can do better?

ayo? what a well crafted video! subscribed! can't wait for more content to come out

This is a really well made video, and very enjoyable to watch.

Great vid man. I feel like they could make a full length game with the quality of Generations.
