Sonic’s instrument being a guitar always felt like blatant ‘USification’ to me. His obvious instrument of choice should be a wind instrument.
It’s almost as bad as chili dogs if I’m being honest
Love how Sonic Team has started making Super Sonic the coolest mf alive.
Dude beat 4 Evangelion-esque titans and a Dragon in a year.
He's just that guy.
@2Qwuik
Yeah Generations and maybe colors was good enough, and that was about it. That’s 2 games for a whole decade. And Mania is just an indie game, made by an indie company, released in 2017, while we have been starving since 2011…
As time passes on and more people put on more mandates on Sonic than Sega and people wishing for Frontiers to fail, this 4chan post ages so well that it's not even funny anymore.💀
Toxic positivity in the Sonic community is when you say:
"I think this game looks good, and even if you don't think that, you can express your complaints and criticisms about without being an asshole or asking for game devs to get fired."
Isn't that what we want, tho? For the gaming community to notice Sonic?
Aside from last year, only in 2017 was a Sonic game ever nominated for something in the game awards.
The fact that we got 2 Sonic games with TGA nominations back to back is huge.
The fact that Sonic is the only platformer to stand toe to toe is both hilarious and sad.
Hilarious cus he's had multiple failures, yet he's still kicking and sad cus he's not only behind in technology, but no other platformer is doing that good to be a competitor to them.
Did we all forget the dialogue is formulated differently in the Japanese? And literally the entire thing is riding off of Ian dialogue and has to fit it in his flaps as best as they can? Basically replacing this whole line to make it in character and explaining things?
Call me crazy, but I don't understand the hate for the show. Yes, Wade's in it more, but I liked his character arc.
Simple yet effective.
It's just chaotic goofy fun from start to finish.
Wanda is the worst Sonic character, tho.

That one guy having Kellin Quinn in his Contacts:
Yo.
The Steam Awards have started and you can vote for Sonic Frontiers in the Labor of Love category.
Let's make sure that Frontiers gets one final award
Love the balls this Sega has as of recent.
Releasing Sonic Superstars next to Spider-Man 2 and Mario Wonder, saying that their Super Gane initiative won't have NFTs, saying that they want to catch up with Mario and then surpass him, the TGA trailer and now this.
Sonic is without a doubt judged under a much harsher lens than other games
If Sonic does something bad? It's an embarrassment that can't be ignored. If Sonic does something good? Well it's not as good as these other huge games so it's only a step in the right direction
Spider-Man 2 must have gone through some kind of development hell similar to Halo Infinite because nothing in the actual game reflects it's insane budget.
Sonic fans are the only fans where they'll look at accessibility options and go "erm bad game design" because Sonic didn't hold his jump for a second longer or can't turn slightly smoother.
Roger Craig Smith has been unjustly criticized from the start and even now.
And Tee Lopes explained why he felt like that in his apology tweet. Some of yall are lacking basic reading comprehension and it shows.
Roger's been with us longer than Jason and Ryan as the voice of Sonic.
I think him getting the sack will be when he decides to just retire it or at the very least, in 10 years cus there's no way that Sega would sack him when he's entering his prime as a Sonic VA.
Whoever at ST thought that it was a great idea to give us HD ARK stages in 2024 needs a raise.
I just can't get over how highly detailed it looks like.
just wanna give a shoutout to my homies at sonic team striving for more serious dark era storytelling again after a decade of putting up with lighthearted stories they probably didnt even vibe with
I think that the Sonic Frontiers concept art is the perfect middle ground to where they can please both US and JP fans in terms of graphics.
Being realistic with a pinch of that Sonic fantasicm.
They knew that western fans would want the environment that would look like normal sonic athletics like older titles VS JP fans who didn't mind the serious and realistic look and they have never reworked the game so many times depending on the reaction of the playtesters before
So a new Zippo leak is out(got this from Premy's video), and apparently, a new Sonic game is developed by Sonic Team and the new Sega Sapporo Team with Sonic and Shadow being playable.
With Sonic Movie 3 releasing next year, it makes sense for a game to be released next to it.
Sonic gaming in the last year 101:
>"OH Frontiers is actually really good. I can't wait for the next game in 5 years-"
>TMOSTH releases
>"Well, that's a good surprise, but anyways, I can't wait for the next game in-"
>Superstars releases
>"Wait, what -"
>Dream Team is announced
I think that the Starfall Islands's choice of art direction is perfect because it's a desolate graveyard of an ancient civilization and having it be a very cartoonish world would take me out of the experience a lot.
@Ira_TheArtist
the games art direction is just terrible in my opinion, the vibrant worlds we had before are completely gone and replaced by a generic looking fantasy world with boxes rails and platforms tossed in. how does a game released over 10 years ago still look a million times better??
This is what Sonic Team actually said summarized:
"We're looking into what we can do to improve our games. We're looking at the competition and reflecting on what they're doing to make our games the best they can be. Please be patient with us. This is new territory."
If you need proof these people are out of touch with gamers and are focused ONLY on politics, Hogwarts Legacy wasn't nominated for ANYTHING. It's SO MUCH BETTER than Alan Wake 2, Baldur's Gate and Spider-Man. Remakes shouldn't be on the list either. Absolute L.
One thing that I don't think Sonic Frontiers is getting praise enough is its cinematography and directory of cutscenes.
While it's not up to the AAA standards, I think that for Sonic, this is the best that it has been since forever, and I hope that it gets expanded upon.
The way that Frontiers Sonic gives me such a good first impression when shit goes down is that despite Sonic being in a strange place & having a suspicious voice telling him what to do, which he has no clue about. He is so impatient & just wants to get on rescuing his friends +

Ok, but she was talking about the state of platformers as a whole and how Sonic is the only competitor to Mario nowadays.
The reason she mentioned Sonic was because of platformers and how companies mistreat their mascots.
@AlbarnsDemon
"haha sonic fans are continuing to be insecure!!!"
*gets insecure that the blue hedgehog mascot platformer is mentioned for relevant reasons in a conversation about the state of mascot platformers*
you people are actually unreal
Hold up.
I just realized that the JP translation is basically SA1 but modern for all characters except Sage ofc.
Why are people gassing up the same shit again as if we didn't experience it 25 years ago?
