Ooooooooooh

Good.

I'm gonna try Nick

 

[CannonStreak]

Less than 20 minutes for the Sonic thing. Are you all ready?

Due to Pokemon and Sonic having videos today it is now solidified that Pokemon and Sonic belong to the LGBTQ+

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I just realized why everyone is going crazy for Lechonk. Its basicly The Spain( or would it better if I said Latin American?) dish Lechon in pokemon form

 

[CannonStreak]

10 minutes until the Sonic thing. I just hope it is good.

Diversity win: Two of the worst fandoms ever are queer!

LOL The people in the chat for the IGN Sonic video are mentioning Morbius and making Morbius memes over and over again.

Hand over all your pokymanz!

Seems like it, if you ask me.

Looks like it's Morbin' time!

 

[Noipoi]

Aw yeah, this is happenin’!

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Imma eat pizza while I watch this. I'll give my thoughts once I've eaten pizza and watched this.

 

[Jondolio]

I'll watch the Sonic thing when I get home.

 

[TheMightyP]

Ok, ik this is a meme but this really does look like a "Hire This Man" game

 

[Noipoi]

**** yeah

Hamster wheel

 

[TheMightyP]

That's it? That's the Frontiers gameplay?
THAT WAS JUST A BUNCH OF CHEAP WALK CYCLES

SONIC BETRAYED US

 

[Lamperouge]

The pop in is a bit distracting but I'm just excited to have a big, open playground to mess around in with Sonic's abilities.

 

[CannonStreak]

Said this before somewhere else, but...

Surprised they did not show off combat, but the game looks beautiful! It is very nice, and so is the music. I love the mysterious feeling from the tone of what we saw. Can't wait for more news here. What do you all think? I also like that you could run along hills.

 

[Schnee117]

For a first impression that was boring as hell

I need to see someone actually play the game instead of slowing down to go "Ooooh Aaaaah" at the Hire That Man stuff to have a proper opinion

 

[cashregister9]

That was a sonic

in an open world

It didn't look terrible

 

[Noipoi]

Luckily we're getting more news all month.

Hopefully we'll see some more exciting stuff.

 

[TheMightyP]

Call me a doomer but I am not too optimistic about Frontiers atm.

Now they said there's more thoughout June, but that first impression was some hot mid. Obviously it's unfinished but man does it look rough atm.

I understand. At least it does look good so far. I just wish they had some combat shown.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean yeah visually it looks fine... except Sonic looks really out of place.

Idk, if I had to summarize my thoughts, it would be it looks like a Tech Demo x Hire This Man. Blue Blur gotta do more to win my heart over.

 

[Lamperouge]

Was there a single shuttle loop anywhere in that footage? I don't think so.

I'm going to be disappointed if we don't see some more actual Sonic level staples in this world aside from rails, springs, and dash pads.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Frontiers movement seems to be like typical Modern Sonic stuff, plenty of rails, springs and boost pads to keep moving, air boost seemed fun to do off the top of cliffs and BRO WHY IS HE PICKING UP HEARTS

Keep in mind that this is only the beginning. That means they will show off things bit by bit as time goes on, and while that does not guarantee it will be better, things are better "savored", for a lack of a better word, over time than all at once. You know what I mean?

 

[Jondolio]

My thoughts on Frontiers so far:

It looks like a really dumb way to put Sonic in an open world setting. It's a good concept on paper since Sonic's speed would lend itself really well to such an open environment, but they chose the most generic green plains with the most generic ill fitting music. It 100% feels like a "hire that man" video from the mid 10s

This looks like a pretty good selection of free games, will totally get Nick all stars, might get God of war too, so i can try it out, heard good things.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I have eaten pizza and watched the video.

While the world this take place in is a little empty, it looks quite pretty overall, and seems fun to run around in. But MAN we did not get much from that. I have absolutely no doubt that the game has stuff to do in it... so why weren't we shown any of that stuff to do, haha- That felt more like a tech demo than it did a gameplay showcase, which is a really weird way to market this game.

 

[SneakyLink]

Sonic’s arriving while Pokémon is doin alright.

Sadly Bomberman is losing Super Bomberman Online R in December.

They hired the guy who used Unity instead of Unreal in any way he can.

Rookie mistake.

At least this game looks more fun than forces.

 

[Noipoi]

The world is pretty, but I'm not exactly impressed with what they showed. Though I'm open to the possibilities.

The endless possibilities.
