[@shadowflame099]

I’m not sure if anyone noticed, but when Sonic’s boost energy was empty, some actions were recharging it. Stomping, sliding, even jumping. Guess he finally managed to tap into the Chaos Force.

[@lefeeshchopped8286]

He's been taping into it since sonic 2. I know that's probably not what you meant, but technically it's true.

[@sonicdml4175]

Late response, but drifting has always recharged boost energy, and doing tricks recharged boost in its debut game (Sonic Rush)

[@bestbechara8682]

Wait there were unfinished levels?

[@arkane9b]

I've been talking about this for years. Because of his speed, open world design is the way for Sonic to go when he's in a 3D game. The existing 3D Sonic games feel limiting and constrained because the concept of Sonic can't be truly realized in those types of games when he's in a 3D environment.

[@yaikss3797]

Same! How do you feel now when "sonic frontiers" is out?

[@sonicdml4175]

@@yaikss3797 It's not quite Open World, it's Open-Zone which is different, but the freedom of movement is pretty damn cool, higher speed, and carrying momentum (along with a map designed with it mind, of course, can't just shove it into Frontiers now), would make the next Frontiers-style game even better. The Cyberspace stages also break it up a bit so that it's not constant Open-Zone, and the more traditional stage style still works well with some of Sonic's new fancy stuff, like the boost recharge, and Homing Dash.

As An Self Proclaimed Animator, Instead Of Focusing On The stage, I was just staring and loving sonic running animation

[@thevirginmarty9738]

The water animations have room for improvement.

[@delaneyelekes8660]

Holy cow, this looks amazing! Granted, it DOES look like a test map, but imagine a hub or stage in a Sonic game that's THIS big! Encouraging just... Running! For what feels like miles on end! I'm sure if there was more effort put into the level design, and if there was a more noticeable way of herding the player in a certain direction, it could be something really special. Perhaps some sort of barriers could be put in place to keep locations like this from being **too** big, and there could be something large and noticeable enough to see standing out from a distance to give the player an idea as to where they can or should go? Something open like this feels like it could benefit a Sonic game though. Reminds me of the hubs from Adventure, particularly the Mystic Ruins.

[@23jameer]

This level literally has no direction its literally just a test map.

[@bestbechara8682]

Doesn't matter if it's fun though, but I agree

[@BlackBladeSombra]

thats.....thats what open world is....

[@gamestar6479]

@@BlackBladeSombra I mean technically open worlds have some sort of direction or purpose to be an open world by having content everywhere you go while this has minimal content and really is only a test map and not an open "world"

[@BlackBladeSombra]

@@gamestar6479 green hill paradise act 2 the 2nd part of the level after exiting the tunnel doesnt have direction either still rlly good tho

[@SuperSonic68]

@@BlackBladeSombra I disagree about having "no" direction. Yeah, I probably could have guided the player a little better in the second half, but I did intend on there being actual routes through the level and even secrets to find in those routes. Most of this here is just someone going wild with the terrain tools. Eventually the player comes across this fortress at 3:45 which DOES have level design, but that level design is completely removed from the terrain itself. It's almost as if it's a level *within* the map rather than being part of it. Know what I mean?

[@mileselectric3677]

i like this and i dont typically like the open world thing. i think it has something to do with the scale of the mountains not feeling so small or too large. Its like true to life but at the same time sonic is fast so he can clear distances easily the world doesnt seem bigger for the sake of sonics speed

[@hihi-nm3uy]

i think this can be done right, with the right peoplep

[@FuryanJedi13]

I'd LOVE an open world Sonic game!

[@mileselectric3677]

@@FuryanJedi13 i think the only right way to make an open world sonic game is to have it be half like the Arkahm Knight/Spiderman ps4 and half like The crew. able to travel all across the world fast but with anything being able to pop off at any moment. otherwise i think itd be hard like how do you make an open world game for sonic without it getting stale quickly. there would have to be events like all the time, story updates or a super long story. other characters would need to be involved in the story for the sake of the story as well as gameplay, cause if the story isnt long enough itll be nothing to do after and if we only play with sonic without variation in said style he would become stale very quickly. it would literally have to be sonic x the game without "Levels" but with objectives.

[@FuryanJedi13]

@@mileselectric3677 Well, yeah, that's kind of what I'd envision; a massive open world with plenty of places to visit, a decent sized main quest and TONS of side quests. Basically just like the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games or the more recent Assassin's Creed ones. Except you can travel around it faster! And there would be tons of NPCs as well. There'd be familiar ones from the games like Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose, the Chaotix and so on. And I'd have characters from the comics too, like Sally Acorn, Nicole the holo-lynx, Bunnie Rabbot, Antoine D'Coollette, etc. There might even be some of Sonic's human friends from the Sonic X series, and Sticks from Sonic Boom. If I was in charge of it, I'd be putting in as much as possible to make it a massive and immersive experience!

[@PuffyBuffy25]

remove the "Mobius would be like" the 2 worlds thing is cringe.

[@karenbonds264]

The game Mobius would be based around the Archie Sonic Comics. It's a spinoff that takes place in its own continuity where the Human and Mobian worlds are one in the same. (The only other worlds there is Blaze and Scourge's worlds.) sorry if there was a misunderstanding.

[@FuryanJedi13]

@@karenbonds264 I think that for legal reasons, the term 'Mobius' doesn't get used anymore - bit dumb, but that's how it is. That being said, I think it would be awesome if there was an open world Sonic game like this! Once that combines exploration and role playing with traditional Sonic game play, and has a huge cast with characters from both the games and comics.

Sonic doesnt take fall damage homie.

[@stardrake691]

KBM Sonic who said that, yes we always see him fall from a high place and lands on his feet like nothing has happened... but I don’t think that is some kind of ability that sonic has, I think of it as if the creators were lazy to implement any feature to make the landing more natural.

[@spookyubers1202]

It looks okay. But I think the free roaming thing was to test out what sonic can do in that environment. The infinity engine is good with that type of thing. So is a solid 8/10 for me. Oh and good video as always.

[@SOUNDFX850]

Sega should honestly try something like this. A large open world hub to run around at blazing speeds and they should have your normal Sonic levels located throughout the map to play and continue the story.

Though its not on this video, i have seen seen the term "boost efficiency" on your other videos that have to do with the infinity engine and what does boost efficiency do/mean?

OMG THE BONUS STAGE

[@CandyApples4ever]

I’ve noticed since forces the fan games are getting better at making 3d games. They succeeded in 2d games. Now they’re focusing on 3d games even more. I wonder if forces propelled people into wanting to make their own stuff since Forces was disappointing. Wonder how 3d fan games will look in 10 years?

[@Mieru13]

I wish you fell faster in the Infinity Engine. It just feels like you stay forever in the air even when you just drop down while running. Also very easy to skip large portions of a level.

[@MetalSonic420]

Makes for a great stage.

[@geniuskhan2520]

I'm imagining Sonic surfing on a river in the halfpipe for a special stage

[@bensonbone]

They need to make a sonic game where the objective is to collect some thing, every zone is a different world as expensive as this one. You either have to go against some boss, collect animals to help set them free. And as a hidden bonus, do bonus stages and find the chaos emeralds in each world. Make it fast pace just like this, but also add missions. I think that will be the beginning of like a future sonic, it will be past modern sonic at that point.

[@samuelflorescarrasco8538]

This is the kind of stage where this engine can shine

[@Megamanexe]

Hmm not bad concept...it feels more like a test map if anything. Though I can definitely see where or whoever the developer is doing with this concept. Is having plans to making the open world, work with Sonic's top speed and boost. If they plan to keep going for this, and with the little dialogue they had when booting the stage up. they have a good grasp and direction where they're going. I hope in the future they make somewhat a mini-map, and land marks- along with objective mission icons to help guide the player.

[@supremecoder424]

I'll say that the infinity engine needs to improve its lock on feature and the camera movement. I've played on some of the demos like spirits and episode white jungle and its kinda annoying that you can't homing attack an enemy right next to you just because the camera isn't looking directly at the enemy. I dont wanna have to kill an enemy, land, and look behind me just to kill the next enemy. As for the camera movement, its leaves much to be desired. Its kinda too sharp and unnatural for a sonic game. Other than that, this engine is amazing.

[@supremecoder424]

If the infinity engine had the same lock on homing attack and camera movement as something like project hero, then it would be perfect.
