    Tip for everyone who's going to play this game:
    -Youre supposed to tap down on 2d sections to roll, DO NOT hold the button!
    -in order for you to take advantage of ramps for momentum, jump AFTER you boost off of a ramp (Bounce Height must be maxed for this)
    -Drop Dash is faster than boost if going downhill
    -You can cancel a homing attack with a boost (at least in cyberspace) to get much greater speeds

    That's what I'm really optimistic about the most when it comes to Frontiers, the relatively positive reception kinda makes me perceive this as the next Sonic Unleashed in the sense that it will be the first of many Sonic games to kickstart a specific style of gameplay that will only improve and get better overtime.

    For the Titan bosses, I’d like to give everyone a SPOILER-FREE tip! Before you collect the final Chaos Emerald, use the cyloop to max out your rings so you’ll have more time with the boss. Just go around in a circle like you’re using the cyloop to attack an enemy and let the rings roll in. It’s a really nice buffer if you’ve lost to the Titans multiple times in a row due to running out of rings

I had to find out for myself. Just to give you an idea I got it yesterday and the first few minutes of playing it I was sobbing like a little kid reuniting with his childhood friend. You know that scene in Spiderman 3 when Pete goes home to get his red suit to go save Mary Jane? Yeah that's how I felt. It was warm I've never had this much fun playing a sonic game since Colors (I did play Mania and thought it was fantastic for my nostalgia).

    1-2 took me all night to complete and it was one of my favourite experiences as I always get a lot out of Sonic games which demand mastery over the terrain and mechanics and trying over and over again until you get it just right. It was super satisfying, but when the next couple of cyber space stages were so lenient it had me wishing for more of these ball-breaking difficulty spikes.

  • @mattm7220

    Oh momentum is *absolutely* in the game - you just overrode that mechanic by maxing out the sliders 😅
    If you want to feel the difference between running uphill vs downhill (like older games), you need the starting speed set low - that way Sonic actually has to compete with the gravity physics.
    I recommend settings of: Starting Speed: 10 | Initial Boost: 50 | Top Speed 100 // Sonic has *never* felt more natural, or been such a joy to control when you allow the momentum gameplay to shine, instead of overriding it with *maximum speed* all the time

    I got the game today and oh my GAWD. A little context before I start gushing, when I got into sonic 06 had already happened and I watched mostly amvs, nazo unleashed, and cobanermani456 to get my daily dose of hedgehog. I eventually got the classic mobile ports but I never really was satisfied with them. And for me till this day generations is my standard for sonic (at least in terms of gameplay since I care about that the most in a game). When I got frontiers I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time I played for hours and I was so immersed I didn’t even notice. Sonic’s control in the open zone is just perfect I’m always using the cyloop because of how satisfying it is to go in a circle, the only thing I would have changed could be some pin ball physics. And the super sonic fights. THE. SUPER. SONIC. FIGHTS. These are basically playable sakuga man. This game for me as someone who likes all parts of sonic (mostly the 2010s since that’s what I grew up with) this game is 10000/10.

    I am actually really loving this game! I’m hoping sega down the line tweak the physics engine in this game to make momentum more satisfying, as I don’t think it’s too late for that. I just really wanna be able to experience sonic with the momentum he had in adventure 2, and though it is close in frontiers, some adjustments need to be made somewhere down the line in the patch. I do eventually hope that happens, and if not in frontiers than maybe in frontiers 2!

    I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve really liked every single one I’ve watched! I started with the project shadow lore videos and it gave me a lot of details that I never knew that really improved how much I like SA2’s story. I just finished watching your video on how modern sonic might be too fast, and that start with the corgi is a masterpiece! I too have a corgi and it’s always so adorable when they go sonic mode 😂

    I really hope Sega brings back Ian Flynn in the future. I don’t think a Sonic story has overall been this good in actual decades. The characters actually have meaningful conversations more often than not, and everyone’s relationship with Sonic is unique in itself. It’s the kind of thing we always KNEW Sonic was capable of, and it just wasn’t happening for years. I mean, you actually *feel* things throughout the story, something that hasn’t happened for a lot of us probably since 2002 or so

    Actually no, you can momentum jump off of inclines. The terrain just needs to be smoother as for Sonic to not randomly become airborne. Simply boost up the incline, then jump when you see fit.
    I've used it to skip springs in the open zone and quickly climb up mountains, as well as to sequence break the randomly found platforming challanges found all around the open zone. :)

    Already started on it, beat the first 2 islands (100% on Kronos island, haven't gone back to Ares island to finish it yet though). Will agree entirely on the boss fights being a big deal though. I hope they add a function for us to replay them at some point honestly because they are awesome.

    Even if I still didn't play Frontiers (maybe it will get a bit of time, because I don't have much money to play him imo), this looks pretty incredible. With the flaws the game must have, I think I'm gonna have a blast experimenting for the first time, and I'm definitely excited what the future will bring up to this blue blur and Sonic Team as a whole.

    I like how at the weird graphical glitches moment you show the reflection during the fishing minigame, which is based on screen space reflections.
    That's kinda the limit of the used technique. If something obstructs the object making the reflection, or if said object is not visible on screen, it's reflection ceases to exist as well.
    I looked past the weird glitchy noise happening there because it's technically a place in cyberspace, the whole shtick of it is that it's looking like this.

    The Japanese seem to really like this game and if this game continues to do well with them that will be a great achievement for Sonic as the games over there don’t always do great from what I heard.
    I for one love the freedom the game gives you, the game kept directing me to talk to Amy but I held off and wanting to take all my time appreciating everything the game has to offer such as exploring and completing fun obstacle courses, rescuing Kocos, and defeating enemies for key items and stuff. Like the game advertised, the gameplay really is flexible!

    I am so glad that this game is how it is. It’s just great to see them being truly ambitious again after so many years! It’s heart is clearly in the right place even if it has plenty of issues, and I can tell that for the first time in about a decade, there was a real effort to make something incredible, and based on Kishimoto’s recent tweets, that seems to be their new philosophy going forward, and I’m all here for it! It doesn’t have to be really dark or serious like 06 or Adventure 2, but to be something GREAT, not just solid, like S3K!

    The cyberspace levels are technically optional too, since you can get vault keys through the fishing spots. On the second island, I didn’t do a single cyberspace level because I got all my vault keys from a fishing spot for that island.

I can’t wait for whatever sonic does next, I’m all here for it.

    I would like to say about cyberspace reusing layouts, I replayed sa2, sa1, colors, and generations before frontiers. The levels do re use layouts but it's few and inbetween original platforming segments, I didn't realize that the green forest level was green forest until they had the swinging zip lines.

    Is the thumbnail a new art style you’re trying out? If so, I really like it. The pose, the shading it all looks really good. One thing you can improve on is maybe to change the mouth to something less angular since it all looks really smooth and bends in a lot of places.

    I just beat the game today, and this was the game that Sonic's needed for a very, *very* long time imho. I played the entire game blind on Hard Mode, collecting all the fish, Egg Memos, Memory Tokens, and fully completing every mission in every stage. I did everything I possibly could, and ended the game with a fully upgraded Sonic, well over 300 extra skill points after getting every skill, and just over 30 hours on my file.
    I've never stopped being a Sonic fan, but this game gave me a reason to feel *proud* to be a fan again. It has its flaws, sure, but this game was absolutely incredible from start to finish!

  • @buffkangaroodog
    @buffkangaroodog Рік тому

    Here's my strategy for the S rank on 1-2 btw: take the bottom path in the start. The dash panels are faster than the top route because of how sonic handles in the air. I personally pulse the boost, ESPECIALLY on rails where it seems to build more speed for some reason. Ignore the enemies, sonic's homing attack is slow and kills momentum. When you hit the spring, air dash to the left and SLIGHTLY forward, this will skip the jumps. Do not use any of the rest of the springs. Pulse the boost as much as you can and take the top path. Once you get to the last rail, jump to the roof of the structure and run across to the finish

    It's amazing that we live in a timeline where Sonic Team made a Sonic game I like more than Generations. I finished the game 100% like 12 hours ago and it was such a fun ride beginning to end. It kinda sucks that the game doesn't tell people that hard mode has the actual final boss (which I can understand people's dissatisfaction with, but I love the game it's a reference to even if I'm bad at it). I already decided to play on hard at the start, but it was strange finding out that was a thing. I'm excited to see where the games can go from here, since this was a great testing ground for what's possible. Another Frontiers styled game, but with settings with more life (and maybe more characters) would be sick.

    My only issues with the game is the lack of varied and good cyberspace levels and especially only having 1 on 1 conversations with the sonic heroes, we could've had some great moments with sonic knucles and tails that just didn't happen. Other than that I thought the game was super fun.

    Does the game let you unlock moves for sonic from past games?
    Like the figure-8 dash or the drift dash from generations (the spindash drifting thing you can do), or even the sonic CD sneeze sense that sega forgot about (shown in a manga and the sonic CD outtro where sonic will sneeze if danger is incoming like spiderman. Which is why early on sonic does his nose rubbing thing for a while); or even the more recent drop dash?
    Granted he's not classic sonic but considering that his past self learnt all but the drop dash, it wouldn't be a stretch that he can learn or remember them.
