What Sonic Frontiers 2 could do.

[@Xafyre]

Oh, and if my audio quality is bad, sorry about it. I had to rush this video a bit since I still have schoolwork:D

[@wesleywarrick]

It's still a great video. 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I haven't even played SFrontiers yet, so it was nice hearing what you wanted to see in a possible sequel. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Xafyre]

@@wesleywarrick No problem my good sir, have a good day:D

[@RClipsGaming101]

I feel like the only way to justify Greenhill being in another Sonic game is to have it be like Sonic's home base. Frontiers 2 definitely feels like a gane where that might happen since Sonic Team said the ground work was the gameplay, not nessecarily the kinds of environments Sonic would be in. Also, I know everyone hates Greenhill by now, but you've gotta admit that it makes sense since Sonic seems to basically live there at this point.😅

[@Xafyre]

That is true, green hill does get a little overused, but green hill still is pretty iconic. I’m gonna stay hoping that sonic team cooks the next game:D

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

It doesn't make sense for him to live there. He's a nomad that travels around the world, taking rests wherever he pleases.

[@RClipsGaming101]

@@Sydney_Angelyt True, but he does say in Sonic Forces that quote "One of my favorite spots is all ruined!" when running through Greenhill. So while he might not live there per se. It is the closest thing he has to a home and does make sense as where he spends his non-adventuring time.

[@Xafyre]

@@RClipsGaming101Yeah they could do that, I mean they did it in sonic prime so it’s definitely a possibility 👍

[@ZafIsReal]

This is exactly my problem with the game. Frontiers is my favourite sonic game to date. I love running around an open area with complete freedom, killing enemies on the way and doing small platforming challenges just for fun. However I can admit that the world they are trying to create doesn’t work at all. I love the idea of a realistic terrain being overtaken by advanced ancient technology, but the idea was poorly executed. Just like you said, everything feels like it was made FOR sonic. It doesn’t make any sense for the ancients to use floating grind rails and floating balloons to homing attack on. And what’s worse, is that there is no care put into how these objects are placed. There just pulled out of the asset file and dumped into the air, with no thought how it would look or affect the terrain. So what ends up happening, is you end up with a beautiful island, with random sonic assets cluttering the skyline, and randomly popping in without making any sense. It’s like if you asked a 5 year old to make the island cooler. They’re just going to add random stuff they think look cool. And sometimes they clutter the open spaces made for running around at high speeds, which is the best part about this game. Sometimes you accidentally walk into a dash panel and get locked into the completely wrong direction, causing you to have to try and exit, slowing down the pace and making the whole game kind of janky. In a sonic frontiers sequel, I would much prefer if they add these platforming challenges and integrate them into the world. For example, they should add the rails on the side of structures making them feel more real, and spread them out and make the map bigger, giving more open space to the player.

[@Xafyre]

Oh my gosh you spoke my mind, yeah I do feel it’s kind of clunky with how everything is placed. I felt more stuff could be added as an alternative to the stuff in frontiers. For example, rails could be some form of thick wiring that was used to power engines and stuff. And when you reach the end of the rail you have to power on an engine, and they could have broke off some parts of the wiring to seem like a faulty wire. I wanna believe that Sonic frontier 2 can do a much better job than frontiers 1, but we can only hope. Have a good day pal:D

[@BlueburntX]

The thing you mentioned about the environment seemed for Sonic is pretty valid as we see in city escape and the other city level I forgot its name. Something they could have done is make it more like an accelerated parkour like in Sonic lost world but also forcing the parkour instead of skipping it. No loops could help unless there are like weird bridges in the section broken down or something. Valid point though.

[@Xafyre]

True true true, since Sonic is a platform we, some form of parkour would be nice. Though Sonics speed might get hindered because of it.

[@SonicTheHedgehogX15]

They should make the rails and platforming natural like in sa2 the vines im green forest are rails and such, it needs to fit the environment, and if it doesnt, dont add it

[@Xafyre]

That’s what I’m saying. I did do some research about sonic team and I learnt that they only have 50 to 60 members in the whole team, which for a huge company like SEGA is insane(might be wrong about the members part tho), and it’s also their best selling games too so I don’t see why they have so little people. I also think it’s because of time constraint that they just added those in instead of creating something new that fits.

[@TsuriaDragon]

In other words maturity

[@Xafyre]

Sonic has definitely matured in Frontiers a lot, and the other characters as well had great character development, but I’m still excited to see what Sonic Team can do with their personalities:D

[@TsuriaDragon]

@@Xafyre Same I love what they did in Frontiers for the characters especially Tails :3

[@Xafyre]

Yeah, character development for the win:D

[@gsaplayz3942]

[@Xafyre]

Hahaha yeah I changed the title since sonic frontiers has been out for a while now xD

[@captainspookles897]

as long as there is fishing again i will be buying frontiers 2

[@Xafyre]

Fishing is goatee 🗣️ 💯

[@MyNamesNoah]

I dont know if I really agree with the points in this video... The terrains? Yeah I guess I can see your point. But I dont think too much needs to be changed. The obstacles? The better way to go, would to make them feel naturally there, like how loops and roll tunnels felt naturally there in Sonic 1 green hill. Also, no, tensions dont need to be higher, and I'd rather them not be. I like a serious story, but we've got the character corrections, so now I want them to pull back from the seriousness a bit

[@Xafyre]

No worries, these are just points that I feel could change to be better. And I know not everyone will agree, but I don't wanna start a debate. Sonic definitely needs to be more chill sometimes, but a few tense moments here and there will really bring the story together. Overall yeah, some changes will be pretty good. Have a good day pal:D

[@GabrielDelaguila-zq2ds]

I hope we get to see more cosmetics characters new stages finish cgi and jute box to listen to music

[@Xafyre]

That would be such a nice thing to see! I really do hope Frontiers 2 can improve a lot more from Frontiers.

[@Fyr365]

The way how I see it is that Frontiers is Sonic's Breath of the Wild, and it's been said that BotW was basically a kind of beta version of Tears of the Kingdom, so Frontiers 2 will hopefully be more polished and less cluttered.

[@Xafyre]

Yeah I’m really hoping that Sonic Frontiers 2 will be better. Maybe not Game of the year but a huge step up from Sonic frontiers.

[@Fyr365]

@@Xafyre Yeah, also I hope they'll listen to the players and fans inputs.

[@Xafyre]

@@Fyr365I believe sonic team does listen to inputs, but it’s also because it’s a big company, and there’s people who work for money only so…

[@Fyr365]

@@Xafyre That's true too, unfortunately. It's one of the reasons why some fangames are so good, it's because the devs are making these games out of love and passion. Oh I'm sure there must also be those kind of people at Sonic Team, just they're either either a minority or are not high enough in the hierarchy to make impacting decisions, that and I'm sure some of the shareholders and various monetary backers wants to push forward their own agendas so that the games can make the maximum amount of money out of whatever they think will work best.

[@Xafyre]

@@Fyr365 You know, I never understood why big companies want to rush games, because if they make a bad game they’re just gonna lose customers, whereas if they made a good game they’ll gain more customers, but I’m sure there’s some restrictions that really affects the overall game so I’m not one to judge.

[@artistanthony1007]

I want a game centered around a different character for once which Shadow and Blaze are the best options, Sonic has had his spotlight for too long and I want something completely new and with new levels, some updated old level like Westopolis, Empire City, etc. but expanded for lore which would be perfect to me.

[@Xafyre]

True, and SEGA did announce a “Year of Shadow”, so maybe we’ll see him have his time in the spotlight:D

[@evdestroy4121]

They could polish the game, that'd be pretty cool

[@Xafyre]

That is true, they could've:D

[@HyperekisReal]

I only played SA1, SA2, and Heroes when I was younger and just replayed them. I then bought frontiers and I'm not going to lie I'm EXTREMELY bored of it. I don't really feel like this game is pulling me in at all, should I keep giving it a try?

[@Xafyre]

Definitely do give it more tries, It doesn’t have good reviews for no reason. Sure the game may have its bad parts, but so do other games. I felt like Sonic Team did a great first step by making an open zone sonic game, but because Sonic is a platform ear game, they didn’t know how to use the assets well and just placed it around the map. But other than some clunky controls and out of place items, the game itself is amazing with good graphics and storytelling. Each character has actually character development and Sonic felt like Sonic. Plus the music in this game are bangers, especially the boss fight themes. So overall, do give it a chance. I may not be perfect, but it’s the best Sonic game since generations, and that was in 2011. Have a good day pal:D

[@3moctezumaboys]

To be honest if you’re not liking it so far, I don’t think the rest of the game is going to do much to change your mind on it. The only thing that could possibly change your mind would be the bosses, but even then, it probably won’t do much. The final update is something you definitely won’t like. The games you mentioned had a lot more fun levels, and better story lines in my opinions. Frontiers to me was meh, I didn’t care for the story or the empty boring environments, but that’s what it was going for.

[@Xafyre]

@@3moctezumaboys Oh I actually love frontiers, and I was planning on getting it soon when I saved up a bit more. But I do feel you that the game has some pretty boring areas. But I wanna take in perspective of others since people have praised the game, so yeah:D

[@HyperekisReal]

@@Xafyre @3moctezumaboys thanks guys I appreciate it. I'm gonna keep playing it, but I have a feeling this isn't going to scratch my itch for wanting a new sonic game that I enjoy :/

[@Xafyre]

@@HyperekisRealIt’s okay pal, at least we have hundreds of fan games to play while waiting for sonic team to make a new game. Just search up “sonic fan games” on KZbin and there should be tons of play through, go to the description and download them(thankfully all fan games are free). Happy playing:D

[@copingflower1909]

Frontiers is such a mixed game to me even almost a year after it has been out, unlike Forces I don't hate it cause unlike that game it at least tries do something different and feels like a very interesting proof of concept for what we could see in the future, and with Shadow generations having a brand new open zone for that game we could very well see the fruits of Sonic teams labor and if they actually learned from Frontiers to make something truly unique

[@Xafyre]

I agree with all of that, frontiers is good but yeah it's definitely lacking in many key aspects.

[@Terminal_Apotos]

A cool thing they could’ve done was make it good

[@Xafyre]

Sonic Frontiers was a good Sonic game since Sonic generations, since it actually had good writing and gameplay. But of course there are it’s flaws so I’m just talking about how to improve them:D

[@tenacity9469]

No, just no. We don't need another frontiers style game from Sega
