Sonic Frontiers & Early Mods | Forging A New Frontier with A Gamer Hat

Sonic Frontiers is one of the most important releases in the franchise in recent history and, naturally, fans had mods coming out for it immediately. What, did you think we'd get the first official wide open Sonic games and the fans WEREN'T gonna do whatever they wanted with it? Don't kid yourself. Garfield, Among Us, dancing, and more.

Sonic doesn't need a "serious" story. It needs stories that take themselves seriously.

[@nobodyinterestingyou]

Yeah, his comment came off as salty and patronizing and I'm not even a Sonic fan.

[@Metaknighttheloneswordsman]

Well said

[@carso1500]

@@nobodyinterestingyou Its because many people think that Sonic must remain as this silly mascot that can't be serious when really Sonic is at it's best when it tales itself just serious enough There is a lot of people who has critisize this game saying "i can't take anything serious when it comes from this little cartoony hedgehog" or things like that

The fact that sonic in this game calls tails “little brother” bought a tear to my eye there are so many wholesome moments and callbacks to the past the fact that the ancients are ancestors of Chaos, the relationship between Eggman and sage and actually the relationships between all the characters. as a long time fan of the series to see it treated with such respect for the first time in years, it made me so genuinely happy.

[@natoriousthehopeful2786]

I would have to say the biggest selling point of Sonic Frontiers for me is the the story and character development; it is easily some of the best we've gotten since the Adventure era, and redeems Tails, Knuckles, and Amy (just in time since they will be playable next year)🤩 Even Dr Robotnik get some much needed character love through his relationship with Sage (aka the best new character for the franchise since Blaze)🤗 I would have loved if they handled The End better, but Ian Flynn did an AMAZING job overall 😎

There's also a total port of the 06 hub worlds over Kronos Island with actual stages from 06 replacing cyberspace stages. They are almost completely functional.

Oh you mention the flying off the ledge thing. That happened so much at the start but then I started learning how it happened, then I start incorporating it into my movement. There was this one part on the final zone that you had to get to a far off island on these rails and a whole obstacle course for a time trial. So I get speed and send myself flying, then barely catching a rail. I didn't make the full skip, but man was that fun. I started getting good at doing it

The accidentally flying off ledges actually help me out in the game a lot for example. I was trying to get to tails and I didn’t know how to get up there then I found it. A ledge. I flew away and got close to the platform tails was in and realized I could use that ledge to my advantage. It took me about 30 minutes to get up there but once I got up there I was astonished. But at the same time very happy. The ledge jumping if used correctly is very useful.

I prefer 8.1 as an upgraded Windows 7 where 10 is an alienated mess and 11 is a total disaster in every single way which Kinda makes me sad that OK-ish 10 is our only good option for 3 more years before resorting to Linux in case 12 fails.
