How I Imagined Sonic Frontiers Before Release…

Little video showing how I imagined Frontiers before it came out, back when we got the teaser trailer at the end of that Sonic Central. I had hoped it would include slope physics and giant, open fields to run around in. I'm still glad we got a good Sonic game in the end though.

[@LucaBicono]

I *love* the running animation. It looks just a touch slower than retail, but it looks properly weighty and gives Sonic a much-needed energetic bounce to his step, before he reaches full speed and his movement smooths out.

[@derple8524]

@Gyllfinex In my opinion I don't trust Sonic Team, Sega has had management problems for years, like separating Sonic Team, And betting too much on a dead horse (Cough Cough Sonic Boom). And with Sonic Team they just seem like they don't understand Sonic, a fun movement base Sonic game was all we were asking for. And we kind of got that here in frontiers, but we also got undeveloped combat, pointless puzzles, floating rails and platforming that doesn't mesh well with the world they built, Koroks that blend WAY too well in the world, Fishing that defeats the point of the game, and another attempt at pleasing the fans with worse versions of the best Sonic levels from the past. It's all a directionless mess, and I don't know how the next development project will fair from all the ideas they're getting from fans including what they put in Frontiers. I would LOVE to be proven wrong, but until that day comes for the next mainline game, right now I don't trust them. They have passion, but they are not the right team. And Sega just needs to learn to lay off Sonic, other Sega properties fair well but not SONIC, The BIGGEST franchise with it's incredible fans. They Deserve Better, Sonic Deserves Better, You and I deserve Better. And this video and many other fan project showcases what can be Better

[@MatthewFritsche]

I really think Sonic's model plays a large part in how the world and game looks to us. His model in Frontiers is very small, if you stop and stand he's barely taller than the grass. And his animations are very stagnant -- his running animation doesn't really convey very much speed or energy, both jogging and running. I think the changes to his model here change the impact and quality of how the game looks. It just looks more significant and cool, I dunno.

[@Medajoltz]

I agree. Animations play a massive role in how a character physically feels. I spent many hours looking for ones that made him feel like he had weight and speed. I don't think this model changes his size. I just zoomed the camera in because I think it looks better.

[@theusurper-wb8ne]

Oh I most definitely agree with you and my opinion is the sonic unleashed model, would've been perfect l.

[@Idunnopal]

I mean Sonic IS only 3”3, so I understand him being small. I also think a small character can be done very well, making the world feel bigger. I think hollow knight is a good example of a small character done well, the world feels bigger with ruins and stuff, but still traversable and you’re not hard to see.

[@jeremyharrell3608]

I hope that one day, Sega will head back to their roots like how they made Unleashed and Generations, and make their future games even more gorgeous

[@tailsfrontiers1224]

I saw it an open world type breath of the will but adapted for sonic for its unique gameplay A world so enough that just running there is fun and nothing else (obvious for what a game is that would be an empty world) see the forests, the landscapes, the wind in your face just by running and thanks to your ability with the abilities of sonic reach such a high point and appreciate every millimeter of landscape In the final game I love him very much for fulfilling almost perfectly what I wanted (except the momentum but there is everything excellent for me)

[@OmarsWorldOfficial]

This is soo like my expectations, i mean i wasn’t really dissapointed, both trailer and game are good, the good thing about the trailers, sonic has long quills and how smooth the trailer looks like, and the good thing about the real game, is that Sonic is fixed, and super sonic is Also fixed and even stronger then Base archie sonic, love how the start of this video starts with those forests that look like the ones from the Vandalize song, (those places where sonic said Tangle would love climbing, wherever is there.)

This is amazing honestly the physics go well with the amount of area you get sonic doesn't stop via random hill even when he goes full speed and plus he is definitely looking more alive plus the momentum is actually there this is what we need in the future actually good physics that make you feel like the character its a similar thing with spider-man 2 being out now but its also complementary to what it was based off of (botw) but they all flow with sonics powers but the retail game left us with a lot of odd choices
