Sonic Frontiers Prologue Reaction

[@contheman7473]

Dave Mitchell’s performance here compared to TSR is night and day. So happy he was given a chance to improve

[@xgaming2427]

I agree can't wait to hear his performance as Knuckles in future Sonic games.

[@17jacoyne]

Too bad I’m STILL not use to it

[@GLXY23]

@@17jacoyne just give it time, you might just need to hear his voice a bit more.

[@matti.8465]

He's a good voice actor, it's not like TSR was asking a lot from him.

[@tylerfindlay3774]

TBF Team Sonic wasn’t trying to be anything groundbreaking.

[@Nathanieltan100]

This animation was very stunning. Writing, art design, Knuckles' portrayal, everything is just perfect! Ian Flynn, Tyson Heese, and the rest of the team did an excellent job making this beautiful animation. That makes Ian and Tyson a perfect team in the Sonic franchise.

[@rowdy8683]

Now *THIS* Is the Knuckles we know and love. The king has return!

[@liamphibia]

First Idris Elba's Knuckles, and now Frontiers Knuckles!👏🏻

[@FerociousMit]

He is here to show you da way

[@wolfpack_104]

Really glad they gave Knuckles a chance to shine in preparation for Frontiers. As the dude tasked with guarding the master emerald, it's always nice to show him as a threat to his opponents and not just a loveable meathead.

[@Ghostel3591]

His thing was not even being meathead - he was easily tricked because he was "fish out of water" not because he is comedic levels of stupid as he was portrayed in 2010s.

[@GumRobber]

Dave b mitchell really improved his Knuckles voice since Team Sonic Racing and Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Love the adventure flashback and that Sky sanctuary is here with chao.

[@kamanira]

You can tell Sam has most of these answers already but can't let on any of it.

[@ar7hur06]

This is really cinematic. The way it turns around the "I like being alone" at the end, and how Knuckles really seems like a badass. It really sets up Sage a lot better as a ruthless heartless character than what we've seen of the game, and...overall, it's amazing.

[@RB-mv1vj]

Frontiers is giving me major cliffhanger ending vibes with the mood and story but especially the ending theme itself and I'm all for it

[@peachybun-ana]

if it actually ends with a cliffhanger i would EXPLODE

[@RB-mv1vj]

@@peachybun-ana Same! It would have to be a pretty good one though especially after all the hype around the story

[@bakedbeans5494]

I hope not.

[@Henleash]

I still am in shock over the whole thing! I was not expecting to be transported back into the early 2000s, but man, seeing the Adventure lore and Knuckles FINALLY being himself again (in the games) after so long, is so refreshing. And of course the animation was outstanding, really want to see more of that in the future! I am so excited for this game, and this is a huge W for the Sonic community!! 😎

[@lennyremilien7990]

My mom : Why are you crying it’s just a mini series about a video game character ??!! Me : You can’t understand

[@shadamyartist2654]

This comment right especially for anyone who don't know the real chaos that Sonic has gone through 💯

[@gfsdfsdf6546]

To be honest, it's genuinelly incredible seeing how much the optimism for Frontiers gets better and better the closer we get to the release of the game. It's been a long way since the original reveal where everyone was distrustful and had no hope for the game.

[@jovani6044]

Genuinely enjoyed this prologue, I got Sonic X vibes.

[@lizzybunny5436]

One hundred percent vibes! EEP!😍

Dave Mitchell is already one of my favorite Knuckles voices.

[@liamphibia]

But what about Idris Elba?

[@CantRead1]

@@liamphibia he's also a great Knuckles.

[@LittleLexi24]

This was absolutely amazing! I guess Sky Sanctuary also has a Chao Garden.

[@mrcwillis6970]

This was so good, animation is fantastic (I want to see a sonic series like this) and the music is beautiful. Makes me happy seeing Knuckles shine. At first he wasn’t my one of my favourites but over time I really appreciate and enjoy him, this gets me so hype too, so many questions… all the references too are real nice. ❤

[@aceloleit4165]

Im hyped too!

[@whoami_sean]

Screw the Prime series.

[@jwgames3631]

This is a first I'd never seen knuckles spin dash in an animation before

[@xgaming2427]

This is the true Knuckles we know and love not the dumb and comedy knuckles we got before.

[@bakedbeans5494]

Never happened.

[@gabrielpilon870]

That animated prologue is absolutely incredible. A huge thank you to everyone involved. 2022 is such a good year for our favorite echidna. I love it!! Looking forward to your Frontiers review Sam!! I hate what we got in the last decade (except Generations and Mania), especially Forces, so I'm very pessimist about Frontiers, even if I saw many promising things in the trailers until now. I really hope that Sonic Team finally managed to do something right. Can't wait to watch your review!

[@JustArtinLmao]

That shi was fire, tyson hesse and ian flynn went all out

[@chantingmammal]

Dave Mitchell's Peformance of Knuckles in the Sonic Frontiers Prologue is amazing, I am so happy that his Knuckles voice that debuted in TSR was given a Chance to improve in the prolouge and Frontiers itself, and I think the animation is stunning, I really like the writing, art design, the portrayal of knuckles. I am glad that Tyson Hesse, Ian Flynn and the rest of the team did a great job at making the Sonic Frontiers: Prolouge animation and I hope that there is another Sonic animation when the next game after Sonic Frontiers releases.

[@Drippy_Venom]

Sam's trying so hard to not spoil anything

[@HellfireComms]

Gotta say Sam, between this and your recent non-specific comments on Frontiers the hype is real right now. Still gonna go in with a level head, but damn I'm excited.

[@imperfectmyst]

IAN FLYNN FIXED HIM!!!!!!! Like Knuckles acts how I envisioned him in Sonic x!

[@sushii00]

Honestly if we continue to get the special episode game tie-ins at this quality narratively and visually from this point onward I'd look forward to buying the games more often than not

[@justalpha9138]

This animation was incredible. :)

[@SonicInfinity0]

The audio is fine

[@Blaxi131]

very fine, no issues at all :)

[@andresl.o.l.9679]

[@derple8524]

I absolutely enjoyed every part of the prologue and am even more HYPED for this game

[@androwaydie4081]

Something tells me you know more than you're letting out Sam.

[@skullgamer64]

The animation looks stunning even better than the CG cutscenes in general.

[@Sonic-dj9sm]

The prologue was awesome and the animations are looking fantastic, I'm glad to see Knuckles the real king making a comeback

[@Jonkstrap]

Holy shit someone that isn’t Sonic being able to hold their own against a threat 🙀

[@_stupidtoasty]

Very epic! Can’t wait for Sonic Frontiers!!!

[@mileshk8083]

I can say that I was wrong about one element since they gave us that teaser for this animation. I really thought that the Master Emerald would have gained an important part of the game, once more, but I'm just glad that Angel Island is safe for the time being.

[@SoranotRoxas]

There he is! *The Boy!* The legend that is *Knuckles,* has returned 🙌

[@corey316]

Woah, woah, woah... The Frontiers review is coming BEFORE the stream? I hope that it's based on what he had the opportunity to play so far. I'm really looking forward to getting his sincere first reactions to the game proper.

Like goddamn I always get chills when I see that shot of asura and then they zoom in on sage just looking imposing

[@fieryduoandfriends4085]

Why do I feel like for DLC cosmetic, the Kocos will have random Chao skins. But either or, this was a really great animation. Maybe not to beat Riders but it's up there. This was just great and cant wait for Sonic frontiers. And btw, the voice of Knuckles is definitely improving in a very good direction and step up from TSR

[@jw_gojifan19]

I was so happy seeing the Adventure flashback. I’m so buying Frontiers when it releases thanks to this prologue alone!

[@peytoncard330]

Man this animation is off the chart

[@ChaosSpeed24]

Honesty I wasn't thinking about getting Frontiers. It just doesn't look that interesting to me and none of the things they are showing shows me that they are listening and changing their ways. But after seeing this and seeing what Ian Flynn is capable of, I'm thinking about buying the game. Thank you, Tyson and Ian, for understanding Knuckles and the Sonic brand. I thought we will never be able to see the characters themselves again, but you prove there still hope. At least now I could confidently say the story might actually be good for a change.

[@akdreamer6497]

I want to meme the part where Sam just says "Chao" out of nowhere

[@AdreanStyles09]

After a decade of suffering, finally.

[@brysene]

Here's hoping Kunckles is playable

[@artxaj]

This might be me just thinking a little too much into it, but since the Starfall Islands are named after Greek Gods/Goddesses and one of the islands is named Ouranos (the sky god), I wonder if that might be the original name of Angel Island?🤔

[@SpicyPunkRockerOfficial]

SONIC FRONTIERS HYPE!!!!!

[@ProtoSkullX1]

I need Ian Flynn and Tyson HesseTo work on an animated series together because this was outstanding

[@officiallyolu]

The last Sonic related thing that gave me goosebumps before this was Advance 3. Animation was amazing.

So since you played Frontiers already, did you record a play through already or no?

Everyone here is saying that Dave Mitchell has improved his knuckles voice since team sonic racing but Me personally still haven’t gotten use to it

[@hermityt1]

Same, I just can't get used to these voices no matter how hard I try. Some times it sounds fine and then I find myself wincing. Knuckles still just sounds like a boneheaded muscle brain.

[@RedTygon]
