1) seeing Shadow going through Cyber Sky Rail brings back memories,that was one of my favorite moments from SA2 2) unironically,hearing a Metalcore Boss Theme while playing as Shadow makes the whole thing edgier,and in a good way 3) overall,this mod is pretty good and I hope we will get to play as Shadow or other characters in the next game They could base his moveset off of 06
Things I noticed that are quite impressive: 1: Shadow's Shoes causes a Trail in the sand which is a nice detail. 2: Dialouges used of old shadow and in the unused dialouges part and he got his own dialouges! How did you do that!? 3: Attack Colors Are Shadow styled. 4: Seeing shadow Just Slide through Ares Island is Satisfying AF! 5: He Has his own animations of Infinite Boost. 6: Also he got a super form.... Nice. Overall move and fightset are The same as Sonic. But the fighting style quite fits with Shadow as well. Modders are pretty impressive with their work.
I love the detail put into this. 1. The change in aura from blue to amber (I prefer red but whatever) 2. small adjustments to Shadow’s movements like his skating motions and punching for the sonic boom attack 3. the fact that they got JASON GRIFFITH to do lines for it.
@@thesmstudios3223 It sure seems like it. I’d recognize his Shadow voice anywhere. I mean, maybe they just cut-and-pasted lines from other games (I haven’t played them all, so I don’t know), but either way, I’m sure it’s Jason.
@@yeahboy6807 Considering they repeated a bit often I don't doubt they're just taken from other games. But to get Jason involved with mod projects would certainly be a welcome treat, and considering how much luck people like Emi had with Sonic and Tails R, I'm hopeful it'll happen again in the fanbase in the future. To have the entire 4Kids or Dreamcast era VAs reprise their roles would certainly be amazing for fanmade character episodes, like this one but with different characters saying their own lines.
I think one touch that this mod needs, Is the jets on the bottom off the shoes to light. although I'm not a modder, and have no idea how to add that. but It would make this mod feel more official then it already does.
Another thing modders don't seem to figure out is having his speed build ups using faster leg movements than at full speed, or that his boost uses the same animation as air dash.
Honestly, Shadow feels right at home here with the semi realistic art style. Combine that with Shadow's edgy smack talk lines -- it feels like the game was made for him. I love Sonic Frontiers as is but damn!
@@czasillo saying “it feels like the game was made for him” doesn’t mean they actually think Shadow was supposed to be in the game. It’s just a feeling.
So nice to see my favorite red and black hedgehog in this game and also nice to hear Jason Griffiths as Shadow. I don’t mind the actors who voices him in the Sonic Heroes game and the Sonic Boom series but I prefer Jason as the ultimate Shadow voice
I think the one thing missing visually from shadow's animations is just the glow that's supposed to come out of his rocket skates when he runs or boosts besides that this is pretty damn good
If anyone is curious as to why people are modding Frontiers so quickly: Frontiers uses the same file formats that Forces uses, so a lot --- if not all --- of the modding tools used for that game work for Frontiers as well.
OR Y'know SILVER COULD'VE ALSO HELPED SONIC LIKE HE SHOULD'VE ALSO DONE IN SONIC PRIME WHICH JE ALSO SHOULD'VE BEEN IN Y'KNOW THE SHOW ABOUT TIME TRAVEL AND MULTIVERSES WHICH SILVER FITS RIGHT INTO
This mod's looking great so far. I just hope the developers are able to implement changes in Shadow's actual dialogue and expressions in-game some day, though that might be too tall of an order for one mod.
I usually hate model swap mods because they remind me how all these characters were left in the dust and will never see the light of day, but this is impressive
It's from the Shadow the Hedgehog game, there's an entire mini-storyline that's all about cyberspace and computers. A lot if not all of the voice lines from that game are used in this mod.
Please SEGA, make this a real alternative DLC version of Frontiers with Omega, Rouge, and Vector as the friends Shadow has to save or something, please.
@@arberihoxha2211 My idea is that it could be GUN investigating the island, trying to find out what's going on with the massive energy surges from the Ancient's relics that Sage is controlling, but it'd slowly turn into a GUN invasion of all the Starfall Islands. And Shadow would have to fight GUN's troops in the areas that would usually have Eggman tech, on top of the regular base-game enemies. If SEGA really wanted to make this hypothetical game hit us hard emotionally, then they could give us visions of Maria's ghost actually being there with Shadow for a moment, whenever Shadow's corrupted by removing his friends from their cages.
Ver a shadow pelear contra el wyrren en su forma de súper sombra con el hermoso soundtrack que tiene está batalla y con sus propios diálogos me hace sentir que estoy viendo el capítulo sombra y a la forma de vida definitiva luchar es un LOCURA!!
This mod is really good. I don't think there's much details to change except making some "Sonic-like attacks" into "Chaos energy attacks" but that might take a lot of time & effort and probably other stuff I didn't pick up. But yeah, it's a great step forward.
Since they announced DLC and it’s speculated that Tails, Knuckles, and Amy might be playable, what if they surprised us that Shadow will be secretly playable?
I love this. Just a personal nitpick, I think I’d limit the “Prepare to die” voice line a bit just so it doesn’t pop up more often than it needs to especially back to back as seen in the Wyvern fight. Other than that this mod looks incredible.
Imagine if after all the sells this game make the team decides to do a dlc mode where you experience the campaign using shadow instead All they would have to do is change some voicelines/animations, give him a new moveset, and maybe they could give us the true final battle they where intending to go for in the original game
This fits shadow wayyyy more like some of those abilities sonic has in this game fit more with shadow because we've seen shadow do this kind of thing before But this mod is great!!!! Especially seeing him in cut scenes. Now I'm hoping for a shadow dlc I know it'll never happen but wishful thinking lol. I gotta seriously get a pc so I can download these mods lol
As much as I love this Shadow mod I just want to take this moment to that run of 2-6 was FUCKING INSANE! Holy shit the shortcuts you took! My jaw was on the floor These speedruns are outrageous 🤣🤣
Now imagine if the mod also switched up the Sonic Crew with some of Shadow's friends/partners. Didn't even think modding for this game would be this high quality, I am also sadge this will be closest we'll probably get to another playable Shadow game
This shadow model is perfect. The sonic forces shadow felt really nice, but seeing him move a little faster insted of hovering is what i always wanted to see
Honestly, the combat in this game feels more fitting for Shadow that Sonic, I mean, since when is Sonic supposed to be able to fire projectiles? At least here I can head-cannon it as some form of Chaos Spear attack, makes me wish this was official, but seeing as how successful Frontiers has been, It gives me a little bit of hope that Sega and Sonic team might create DLC characters in the future, but seeing as I'm a long-time Sonic fan, I know better than to get my hopes up.
This is a very polished mod and you should be proud ^^ My one note, and I have no idea how feasible it would be, is to see if you can replace that ranged kick laser attack and with chaos spears.
All I would need is this mod but with the SA2 skating animation. And maybe David Humphrey voice clips so I can remember a time when Shadow has suave and less hardcore edge. lol
Looking better and better. Also we need a Nazo mod Edit: I can’t get over how gorgeous this looks this makes me also want a Knuckles mod one day for this
Cool comme petit mode après ce serait sympa que sega fasse un episode qui inclut shadow dans les dlc qui arriveront l'année prochaine(bon après ce serait tiré par les cheveux qu'il soit là mais le perso à tellement de popularité qu'ils le feront surement
proposing an idea to modders: playable Knuckles, with hopefully a fully reworked moveset to compliment his less speed, more strength style. I hope it's possible, since I think Knux deserves this kind of game IMO.
I like how they actually got the sand to leave a skate trail from his shoes.
Maybe it's just the same physics?
I Believe the game does this naturally as it isn’t a texture
I thought I was the only one😭
Apparently the game does that automatically, the sand physics just do that on their own. Super cool stuff
Yea I was going to say thats pretty cool
1) seeing Shadow going through Cyber Sky Rail brings back memories,that was one of my favorite moments from SA2
2) unironically,hearing a Metalcore Boss Theme while playing as Shadow makes the whole thing edgier,and in a good way
3) overall,this mod is pretty good and I hope we will get to play as Shadow or other characters in the next game
They could base his moveset off of 06
I hope they make other characters playable. Like Knuckles, or even if they added Silver. That would be very fun.
The music fits Shadow so much more compared to Sonic in my opinion.
Just wait a year and we get free dlc is it good? Idk but still we get to play as other characters
I like how Shadow says how to defeat the enemy because it can help players who don’t know how to defeat them and it just fits him
I found you, Faker!
Really? When?
Things I noticed that are quite impressive:
1: Shadow's Shoes causes a Trail in the sand which is a nice detail.
2: Dialouges used of old shadow and in the unused dialouges part and he got his own dialouges! How did you do that!?
3: Attack Colors Are Shadow styled.
4: Seeing shadow Just Slide through Ares Island is Satisfying AF!
5: He Has his own animations of Infinite Boost.
6: Also he got a super form.... Nice.
Overall move and fightset are The same as Sonic. But the fighting style quite fits with Shadow as well. Modders are pretty impressive with their work.
2: 6:02 he some unused dialogues for old shadow using the a.i. voice from uberduck/fake you tts.
It's always crazy to me how coincidentally Shadow's older voicelines seem to fit PERFECTLY into every mod he's thrown into.
I love the detail put into this.
1. The change in aura from blue to amber (I prefer red but whatever)
2. small adjustments to Shadow’s movements like his skating motions and punching for the sonic boom attack
3. the fact that they got JASON GRIFFITH to do lines for it.
Wait wat-
Did they really get Jason to voice Shadow?
@@thesmstudios3223 It sure seems like it. I’d recognize his Shadow voice anywhere. I mean, maybe they just cut-and-pasted lines from other games (I haven’t played them all, so I don’t know), but either way, I’m sure it’s Jason.

They could have used some ai and reused lines for Shadow but idk
I think one touch that this mod needs, Is the jets on the bottom off the shoes to light. although I'm not a modder, and have no idea how to add that. but It would make this mod feel more official then it already does.
That, and for the jets to flare larger during the full ring boost. Would make it look much more epic than it already is
I'm impressed, but fr how hard could it be, it's the way the entire character functions
Another thing modders don't seem to figure out is having his speed build ups using faster leg movements than at full speed, or that his boost uses the same animation as air dash.
0:09 I like how you made a concept of the episode shadow button :)
Oh my!!!! This made my day so much better!!!!
Jason Griffith your voice as Shadow always makes me filled with LOVE!!! 🖤
9:07 - Shadow: "At last, a worthy opponent."
Honestly, Shadow feels right at home here with the semi realistic art style. Combine that with Shadow's edgy smack talk lines -- it feels like the game was made for him. I love Sonic Frontiers as is but damn!
Bruh shadow has nothing to do with frontiers and never did idk where people got the idea he was supposed to be in there😭
@@czasillo saying “it feels like the game was made for him” doesn’t mean they actually think Shadow was supposed to be in the game. It’s just a feeling.
@@czasillo its a mod get over it and op said feels like not shadow should be in the game.
This game should have been Shadow Frontiers
@@ParanormalState100But Shadow Was In The Twitter Takeover When This Game Was Coming Out?
No way! They got Shadow’s old voice actor back!!! I definitely got to play this.
Wow never mind, I guess this is a mod 😢
Seeing Shadow smile this much isn't something you get to enjoy often, though it feels a bit weird since it's not in a smirky way
Yeah if it's a smirk then that fits Shadow but seeing him smile like 😃😁 doesn't feel like him

Because it was built for that.
@@myleswelnetz6700 Yup.
I kinda wish this was real. Also, I'm still wondering when will Silver get his own episode?
Don’t get your hopes up cause it will most likely never happen 🫤🫤
silver don’t get enough appreciation frl. he’s my fav sonic character
lol no
there is a silver mod im pretty sure its on gamebanana
@@gggsh7 bruh
14:48
If you suspend disbelief, based Chaos Control moment.
Finally someone asked why Shadow, the only character who can ACTUALLY help Sonic in Frontiers, didnt appear
OR Y'know SILVER COULD'VE ALSO HELPED SONIC LIKE HE SHOULD'VE ALSO DONE IN SONIC PRIME WHICH JE ALSO SHOULD'VE BEEN IN Y'KNOW THE SHOW ABOUT TIME TRAVEL AND MULTIVERSES WHICH SILVER FITS RIGHT INTO
Mod or not, good to hear Jason Griffith as Shadow again.
4:44 When Shadow Takes off his inhibitor Rings: TERIAAAAAA
A universe where they let shadow smile
Make this a DLC for all platforms and I'll pay for it instantly.
If you aIready bought the game, then keep dreaming, cus once you give SEGA your money, they ain't giving you 💩
@@kowabonga3552 ik wishful thinking
They said they will release more dlcs for the game
@@natashamoulterie134 I'm Kinda hoping they put Silver in the game.
They're not doing that
The voice alone makes me wanna download this mod asap, this was my favorite sonic voice actor of all time.
This mod's looking great so far. I just hope the developers are able to implement changes in Shadow's actual dialogue and expressions in-game some day, though that might be too tall of an order for one mod.
I usually hate model swap mods because they remind me how all these characters were left in the dust and will never see the light of day, but this is impressive
I love how the dialouge from knuckles goes well with shadow too
This actually makes me wonder how Shadow would react to seeing sage and how it would be if he was in the story
6:03 how is Shadow fully voice acted for right there
i was wondering the same thing
The power of text to speech!
It's from the Shadow the Hedgehog game, there's an entire mini-storyline that's all about cyberspace and computers. A lot if not all of the voice lines from that game are used in this mod.
@@paperboathat oh…
@@paperboathat vaya, eso explica muchas cosas 👌
Shadow Frontiers
That's so cool. It could use a couple improvements, but it's still very impressive.. Props to whoever threw this together.
Having Jason Griffith’s voice is the perfect touch
Shadow finally has an actual role in Sonic Frontiers.
This makes me want to play this game now. I don't mind sonic but shadow has always been my favorite character. This mod is beautiful. Great job
The best Shadow voice of all time 😭😭😭
Is no one gonna talk about how cyberspace 2-6 is straight up just Sky Rails from Sonic Adventure 2?
Please SEGA, make this a real alternative DLC version of Frontiers with Omega, Rouge, and Vector as the friends Shadow has to save or something, please.
And GUN's bots, agents and the Commander should be there too.
@@arberihoxha2211 My idea is that it could be GUN investigating the island, trying to find out what's going on with the massive energy surges from the Ancient's relics that Sage is controlling, but it'd slowly turn into a GUN invasion of all the Starfall Islands.

This is a fantastic character mod.

Me Too

Ver a shadow pelear contra el wyrren en su forma de súper sombra con el hermoso soundtrack que tiene está batalla y con sus propios diálogos me hace sentir que estoy viendo el capítulo sombra y a la forma de vida definitiva luchar es un LOCURA!!
This was a mod?! It was so good I legit thought this was an actual part of the game! Well Done to the people who worked on it!
12:08 looks like Shadow found the 4th chaos emerald.
I'm now imagining this game being called Shadow Frontiers and it being about Shadow trying to save Sonic and friends.
The voice lines are so well placed that i actually got confused sir! Well done!
I’m definitely buying it. I mean, if it is an official DLC created by Sega.
This mod is really good. I don't think there's much details to change except making some "Sonic-like attacks" into "Chaos energy attacks" but that might take a lot of time & effort and probably other stuff I didn't pick up. But yeah, it's a great step forward.
The "Let's get moving" part was so cool!
This is some impressive mod work, whoever this is Sonic Team needs to hire them.
Sonic Team should hire them for importing a model and a few animations that Sonic Team themselves made
How does that make any fucking sense?
@@ALegendaryBlueHedge You seem upset over an opinion you could have just easily ignored. 😊
@@ByronDZero I just hate it when people say SEGA should hire modders for doing the most basic things
unironically shadow fits into this game more than sonic does lol
Now Sonic frontiers has an Episode shadow! Hey there Blue! Thanksgiving is tomorrow!
Since they announced DLC and it’s speculated that Tails, Knuckles, and Amy might be playable, what if they surprised us that Shadow will be secretly playable?
These modders are next level lol. Looking forward to seeing which character is next
If they make an episode shadow I will play all day

Balancer l'ennemi sur la montagne, utiliser les missiles, c'est tellement dans le style de shadow quand on y pense
That animation at 2:22 so clean😅
This shadow model is perfect. The sonic forces shadow felt really nice, but seeing him move a little faster insted of hovering is what i always wanted to see
That voice actor tho! Amazing Shadow mod he fits perfect in this game!
6:02 How does that sound like Jason so well?!!
That is Jason Griffith- that line is from Shadow the Hedgehog, where there were multiple levels set in “cyber space”
This is basically Sonic Forces but frontiers.
This was so freaking awesome 👏🏽
What I like the most about this game is how they utilize Sonic/Shadow´s ability to move quickly to utilize new moves, like that whirlwind move.
Honestly, the combat in this game feels more fitting for Shadow that Sonic, I mean, since when is Sonic supposed to be able to fire projectiles?

Wait! Is it- suddenly sees in description its a mod- awww man well still it's an awesome mod (also love the voice lines)
Also, anyone here watching the World Cup?
Of course, who do you think will win?
@@dark_nightwing_xl2797 Maybe England or Spain?
The main issue with this mod is that Shadows air shoes should light on fire with his every step.

My one note, and I have no idea how feasible it would be, is to see if you can replace that ranged kick laser attack and with chaos spears.
Not only did this man make a banger out of this mod but he also used Jason griffith’s voice instead of thornton’s
I see Shadow has learned the Horizontal Drill Dash. I wonder if he learned it from DReaMS that he may or may not remember. 💫 🌙
A mod like this is exactly how the base game should be. The boss battle music was definitely more tailored to Shadow than Sonic
All I would need is this mod but with the SA2 skating animation. And maybe David Humphrey voice clips so I can remember a time when Shadow has suave and less hardcore edge. lol
Thank you for Jason. The true Shadow.
Looking better and better. Also we need a Nazo mod
Edit: I can’t get over how gorgeous this looks this makes me also want a Knuckles mod one day for this
Shadow doing donuts in the desert sand! 😎👍
What if for Shadow's Sonic Boom (1:51's Attack) he pulled out the sub-machine gun?
One thing I'm definitely gonna be excited for is the potential stage mods!
metal harbor
1 thing they really need to add is the fire to the rocket boots because now shadow feels like he is just normaly skating
It would be awesome if he was just throwing Chaos spears as an attack
so good bro. on point my guy
9:23 epic speedrunning skills

There needs to be mod support for consoles.
Xbox is working on that, starting with Halo MCC. Their recent announcement of Steam Workshop support is testing waters for console support.
