The springs actually do have different functionality. You cannot use the homing attack on the classic springs. And... that's it. But there is a difference!

@JustinJulian-00 5 ай бұрын
How is that supposed to make sense it would have been useful if you can use the homing attack on those springs and also Sonic feels slow in cyberspace even when I use the boost he doesn't even feel fast and cyberspace to me are nothing more than filler levels because the only thing you get from them are just portal keys and due to the fact that's they reuse the same designs from Green Hill chemical plant and even sky century why don't they give us the level designs from the adventure games or the storybook games or unleashed or even colors of all people don't you agree that we are tired of the same levels like Green Hill like chemical plant and sky sanctuary over and over again if anything those levels from those previous games never even got in Sonic frontiers or even a motorized design of them

​​@@JustinJulian-00 First, I want to introduce you to this thing called "Punctuation". Sebond, the Classic Springs are not meant to be useful. They are just meant to be another aspect of the level to keep in mind. Because if you can use the homing attack on them then they are no different from the Modern Spring. So at that point why even have them? Everything else you mentioned is an entirely different conversation.

I see. So basically they're there to keep you on your toes, like the horizontal spring pole things introduced in Sonic Advance (I think, might be in a few classic levels) that got used in Dimps games untill being brought into basically all the boost games. They serve almost the purpose as springs but they function just different enough to make you pay attention.

Classic being from a different dimension wouldn’t have been lame if they did what I THOUGHT they were doing with that plot. The phantom Ruby was already doing some weird dimension-y stuff in mania. I was confident the villains Infinte was using were plucked from timelines that they had been victorious in. A chaos that had wiped out all life, a shadow that had followed through with his plans, a zavok that… lost hexed all over the place? Idk I never played lost world. Instead, they’re just… projections? Copies? They’re lame. The phantom Ruby was undermined and a great potential story arc for all four of those villains was missed. Just IMAGINE shadow talking to a past self that didn’t realise Maria’s true last wish…

That's an awful idea. If there are alternate timelines where other outcomes happened, then the events of each game become meaningless. It's the ultimate tension killer. Sonic's victory in any given game means nothing is there's infinite timelines where he lost and everyone died, and vice versa. It's impossible to introduce a multiverse into a series without erasing all meaning from any and all plots.

Funnily enough, Frontiers technically goes back to the way the boost gauge fills up in Unleashed in Generations as well because collecting rings while boosting (when you don't have an unlimited boost that is) will fill your gauge back up slowly, so collecting rings while boosting is useful in Cyber Space. Just a fin tidbit. They're going back to how it works in Unleashed and Generations in Shadow Generations, so that's fun. They better have the wall jump in there too.

​@@felixdaniels37 I'd say Lost World's control scheme was more of an attempt to appeal to a wider audience. The Boost Formula is controversial even among Sonic fans. To me it seemes like Lost World spooked them, they tried to go back to the Boost Formula that made Generations and Colors so beloved and then fumbled it a bunch since Forces had a very short dev cycle, which is weird because preproduction started a long time before production proper. The boost formula is actually one of the best developed ones now, starting with Rush and Rush Adventure, including Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Forces, Frontiers and now ending on Shadow Generations.

@@mdstevens0612 Honestly, in my personal opinion. Sonic has just sprawled out into too many sub genres, and it just causes nobody getting what they want. Sonic adventure, and almost 06. Had a focus on momentum platforming, and spin playstyles. (I'm distinctly saying spin. instead of spin off. Knuckles, rouge and sa1 tails. All control the same, but what actions they can do are a bit. Which applied to 06. ) While boost games have tend to have spin off playstyles. And a focus on reaction time. It's no longer "I wonder if I can do this, it looks like I could cheese it with momentum" on first level sight read. It's until after you played the level and get a loose idea for the layout. For spino off styles that be like classic sonic, werehog, and avatar to some extent. Where it stops feeling like "a sonic game" and something else. Which in itself isn't inherently bad. But it causes a bunch of conflict. Since we now have effectively classic, adventure (focus on upgrades, and momentum knowledge), boost (quick reaction time, and memory of the level), lost world(Multi homing attack, higher focus on platforming), open/frontier (An attempt at a jack of all trades)

The rings in Forces dissappearing when they're lost isn't exactly new, the same thing happens in Unleashed, and I think it would've been better this way, since Forces is so easy. And if the player can't handle it, they can just go play the easy mode, where rings drop like normal, but the counter is capped at 100. (the 100 ring cap is all easy mode changes, so the rings also dropping just makes sense and feels like how it would've been if this feature made it into the final game)

Remember the sweep kick in sonic unleashed? That was straight up pointless and its only use was for destroying furniture/boxes in the hubworld. Also unleashed had the “tap” jump, where if you tap the jump button sonic will do a small jump while keeping your speed. I THINK generations had it too but they got rid of it in future games. And the light dash. Before frontiers it was basically gone since like unleashed. Colors didn’t have it besides using the green wisp, and generations only had the light dash with some specific trails of rings. I don’t even remember if forces had it but frontiers finally brought it back to normal. The bounce bracelet. SA2 had it, 06 had it, and then frontiers kinda brought it back albeit it’s pretty gimped. No idea why those 3 games have it and no others. What about the magic hands in SA2? That serves absolutely no purpose? Dude I can go on and on and on.

I actually like the way the spindash and boost co-exist in Frontiers, and there are trade offs for using one over the other The Spindash has a faster top speed than the Boost, making the Spindash the faster choice on the other hand, The Boost has more sticky-ness to the ground, a much tighter turn, and can stop on a dime, making it a much more controlled speed So it basically becomes a choice of Pure speed or More Control

I think having the boost be stamina based is the worst way to go about it. Having it be powered by rings only is so much better because you can build the level design around it and have it be more skill-based. That's why generations and unleashed are so good because you have to actively try to get the rings to boost.

18:54 I have a possible explanation on the Motobug thing: -Colors & Generations Motobug is meant to be a design evolution, making it fit the more modern "tech-y" style -Sonic 4 Motobugs are weird like that, because they try to add modern edge to the classic shape (being somewhat emblematic of Sonic 4's identity crisis where it puts a modern coat of paint over classic stuff) -Lost World gives the Badniks a VERY toy-like look, so gotta make the Motobug all cartoon-y then once Frontiers rolls around, they come back to the tech-y look, so the Colors & Generations look it is again (and I do like that look, it is a very solid evolution of the design) question is if Sega intends to commit to that look or make ANOTHER major change due to reinventing Badnik aesthetics again or being in a nostalgia haze

Even though they are probably less significant to the evolution of Sonic’s game design compared to the console games, I do think it’s interesting to note how the 8-bit games by Aspect handled evolving Sonic’s gameplay in tandem with the 16-bit games. The way they attempt to evolve the formula and adjust to the limitations of the Master System and Game Gear over time are interesting and smart and they feature additions to the gameplay I’d always have liked to see in mainline. Sonic Chaos was the first game where Tails could use his flight in gameplay and featured both the peelout from CD and the Spindash from Sonic 2 on Mega Drive, it feels like they wanted to make full use of Sonic’s moveset at that point in time and take advantage of ideas that may or may not become mainstay once the higher budget console games released. I especially love how Triple Trouble added to things with letting Sonic briefly curl into a ball out of springs and his fall animation while also accommodating the Game Gear’s inability to load all the rings you drop when getting hit by having only up to 5 or so fall out of Sonic, but you can only loose up to 30 from the counter. Genuinely such an amazing little change for balancing the 8-bit games’ often radical difficulty issues because you can gain enough rings that you can accumulate a sizable health bar for riskier sections of the levels, and be able to spare rings to enter the special stage boxes even having gotten hit, but when you are starting out the level or start to get low you can still end up in that state of risk that makes the system satisfying. Sonic Blast further tuned the system by having you only lose about 10 rings I think which while surely makes the game a lot easier, can’t say that it’s really a bad thing for this game’s case given everything is so chunky and hampered by screen crunch that making he game generally easy to beat and play otherwise is for the best. It also is the only game in the franchise I’ve seen where Rings act as an additional timer that drains away once your air runs out under water. It’s a really cool mechanic for handling Sonic’s whole limited air system, and another small idea I think if the mainline games had would make them feel more satisfying, even if the only level you’ll see it in is constantly snagging you by the balls through vacuum tubes. Holy Shit Blue Marine Zone.

17:58 I personally prefer having both springs. Unless they establish that Classic Springs naturally occur in small cartoony islands and Modern Springs appear in the big realistic continents, then I wouldn’t want them to do mix the springs. It just doesn’t make sense in the world building so far that the Classic springs would randomly disappear for Modern ones out of nowhere.

great video! when you pointed out the classic springs showing up in modern games it made me remember how much i hate that the dash panels are falling into the exact same camp like for some reason forces EXPLICITLY ONLY USES the classic dash panel design and then in frontiers it flip flops between them? i specifically remember a section in 1-3 (the only 2D highway level) where it starts out with a classic dash panel, switches to a modern dash panel in another section and then back to a classic one, like, why??? they dont function differently so why flip flop?

8:15 honestly, i think it all comes down to visual presentation on that front: Sonic is no stranger to suddenly changing his momentum midair with a stomp, homing attack, or the like, so it's more about how to make that double jump look really cool Maybe they could partially bring back the Instashield from Sonic 3 and incorporate that into his Double Jump. Or, as heretical as this could sound, make it so his first, grounded jump doesnt have him curl up right away, OR the first jump uses the Sonic Adventure 2 style jump animation, only getting the full "blur" for that second jump Also, Heroes had a lot of fun "hidden" move behaviors to add some personality: Espio's triangle jump had no time limit, so he could cling to the wall as long as he wants. Amy could hold down Jump to use Propeller Hammer to fly a short distance. And of course, the Team Blasts all had secondary bonuses, with Sonic Overdrive's being that Sonic could follow up _immediately_ with a Lightspeed attack If they go for the multiple playable character approaches again, they could have their cake and eat it too: imagine a game with a playable Metal Sonic, who plays like Unleashed Sonic but with rings being consumed for boosting akin to F-Zero GX, while Sobic goes for a more SA2 or Frontiers feeling kit.

Sonic X shadow Gens really shows the problem with having the moveset being different in every game. It's revealed that you have the option to use the controls Frontiers had in Generations, most notable changes being the change for the homing attack and the boost being on the shoulder button. It's good for people who don't want to hassle with changing their muscle memory when switching between two characters, but when you actually start to think... ....this doesn't work at all. Hear me out. The open zone gameplay of Frontiers never has the same focus on having tight reflexes the same way the previous boost games do, such as using the slide and quickstep. These moves happen to be the most underutalized in Frontiers. Trying to boost with r2 while using the shoulder buttons to quickstep feels awful to do. That's why it's most comfortable to use the boost and quickstep during the squid chase sequences, since you can use the joystick to quickstep instead. It's also why one of the update 2 challenges that involes the quickstep in kronos island feels wrong to do when trying to boost, because it was ONLY built for quickstepping, meaning that sonic team knew that was the case.

The Slide is the most forgotten move. Considering how the roll could accomplish the same effect. It also shows how it is basically never used in Forces and thanks to being in the future I know that the Slide is only used two times in Shadow Gens. I think the game that used the Slide most was Sonic Unleashed, (HD) the slide is meant to be a momentary reaction check, and Unleashed being the most difficult and the most demanding Boost game makes sense.

I think a cool thing would be for them to ditch the Boost in favor of levels where sonic "Slows Down" and is explicitly noted to not be zooming as fast as he can, and then have sections evocative of the mach speed sections from 06 where he goes full tilt can't stop pedal to the metal rushing w/ boost and stuff. The main thing I want is the ability to reach and exceed boost speeds WITHOUT using the boost. I want spindash and superpeelout and stuff like that that you can chain together with the boost to go faster, at risk of getting hit and losing your speed. make the boost a safe and consistent option, but high execution and chaining other moves to build moment lets you hit something like the Mach 2 boost modes advance apparently had, or the afterimage speed from Rush.

Frontiers introducing a base sonic and cast combat system opens new avenues. Sonic’s moves like his eagle kick could make a return and chain with the homing attack if with anything. It could even cause a screen shaking explosion as super sonic as good for thought. Sonic’s kicking slashes from frontiers doesn’t have to be a cyber energy exclusive move since theoretically sonic can just kick wind that fast. And speaking of wind Sonic should definitely have more tornado moves. If they wanted to reference something they could have him move around while spinning around like in sonic underground just for the cheeky fuck of it. And that’s just sonic Also fun fact super sonic was accidentally left with the drift in frontiers despite regular sonic not having it outside of that one cyber space mission

Ok hold up 12:00 about the drift. While I get people like it. But is it REALLY needed now a days? It was only implemented in the boost games because they couldn’t figure out how to make Sonic turn correctly while going at high speed. Now as we see in Frontiers Sonic can make tight turns now. Which of anything that’s a good thing. Sooooo, why do we need it back or want it back? What would be the point of it can Sonic can turn in high speeds now? The only reason it would if they mess up Sonic turning. But again I ask, why in the HFIL would you want them to make Sonic’s Turning crap again? You see, I don’t get this. Someone help me out here cause either I’m dumb or everyone wants Sonic to regress backwards.

i'm genuinly surprised rush wasn't mentioned, not only did it include both the spindash and the boost (while gating the boost from bosses you could actually roll in the normal levels so you could save gauge by rolling downhill) it also refilled in the most unique way, tricks. be it rush 1's spamming off any spring, aerial dash pad or rainbow rings or rush adventures finisher system which only rewarded the vast majority of the trick boost when performing a combo finisher which while existing in the first game mostly acted as a way to extend momentum or gain a second jump. i S ranked every rush level so i should know how situational that was i'm not surprised nobody noticed it, and the fact the homing attack was on R was like... wtf?
