The Ninja fight underwater was peak, jumping to get air only to parry the clone at the last second, that looked so fun to watch.
Ayyy thank you! This game is so swag
This is like the one physics mod I've actually felt compelled to replay through the whole game with. Everything else felt overdesigned or not at all built with the game's systems in mind, but this one pulls off momentum-based speed in a way that doesn't take away too much from the game's core design. It's a really fun time and playing it alongside the new Graphics Enhancement mod is making Frontiers feel fresh and brand new.
It's cool because there doesn't feel like an over-reliance on the spindash somehow. One of the few mods I've personally played that had good ground momentum as well.
There’s some information about the next mainline game Sonic Team’s working on: About how the working title is Frontiers 2, how it has much bigger islands and much more emphasis on speed, physics, and fluid movement, and how they’re most likely going to build off of what was done in Frontiers.
I really, *really* hope Kishimoto’s team has noticed the New Genesis mod and can take cues from what’s been done in Frontiers and Generations’ modding scenes so an offical game can have gameplay like in this video and like in CD’s and Unleashed’s cutscenes without the modding community having to tweak so much of it.
Also fingers crossed that it's actually play tested
I low key tried to get into this mod but i just wasn't feeling it, maybe because i've been playing trackers physics for the longest time. This video encouraged me to give it one more chance
honestly the glow up from high speed style was insane
Is that the same developer??
@@DolphynsDeck yeah new genesis is the new version of high speed style lol
90% of this video was "WHOA THAT'S SO COOL" and I love it
Hehehe thank you for appreciating the small things
This feels like what the leaks decribe frontires 2 as. Accept the dash and surge are different.
What's specifically different about them? 👀
man i wish next sonic game went in this direction!!!! this looks awesome!!!
I'm not sure if Kishimoto checks socials anymore but we should definitely tell him and Sega this kind of stuff in case they're listening
DOLPHYN I WAS AVOIDING SONIC STUFF UNTIL SXSG RELEASES NOW U MADE ME BREAK THE CURSE
Well, there's no spoilers here so enjoy your stay!
I will be making videos on Gens when it releases so keep that in mind plz lol (I'll try to not put big spoilers in thumbnails)
@@DolphynsDeckNice to know your not gonna spoil the game before it releases unlike a few channels i’ve seen :P
Thank you for making this vid and highlighting all of these mods cuz damn, it all looks so good!!! Can't wait to replay the game like this
I'm always surprised how many people like this video! When I had the mods it kinda clicked with me like - "damn, I can do this"
Have fun!
HELLO??? I need to stop sleeping on Frontiers modding 😭
We are in the FUTURE
fr this might make me actually buy the game, lol. the base looks pretty bad but this looks quite fun
good bye
We eating good
I think all this needs is the ranking system from Chaos Polarity (the one that gives you rings for higher combo strings) and this would be my ideal mod pack for Frontiers.
Even without it, this seems like an amazing experience that leaves me salivating as I desperately await my new computer to arrive next month so I can properly run the thing, because I wanna try this so bad!
But the reason I want that ring bonus is because it made the Super Sonic fights absolutely peak! Having a way to regain rings without slowing down the pace, said way being based entirely on your skill with the refined combat mechanics, it was literally everything I wanted from Frontiers combat. Especially with how much harder it made those Titan fights, making you need to rank up just to survive, was absolutely SICK
I don't know if that feature exists as a separate mod yet, as I'm pretty sure New Genesis isn't compatible with Chaos Polarity (High Speed Style wasn't, at least not the last time I tried), but I really hope it becomes one someday because I NEED that
Never messed around with Chaos Polarity but I do love the combo rankings like DMC.
@@DolphynsDeck I highly recommend giving it a try! I've always thought a DMC combo ranking system would be perfect for Frontiers, and the way it implements it along with the other combat changes is just awesome.
It's way tougher than Vanilla, and you're forced to vary up your moves to keep your Phantom Rush Gage up, as it depletes way faster but does SIGNIFICANTLY more damage to help chip away at the enemies much larger health bars.
It's definitely not for everyone, but I think it's worth giving a shot if you're up for the challenge. I think it got an update somewhat recently too
Getting so many subscribers! And well deserved! Would subscribe now but I already did when you had around 5k!! I can’t wait till you have so many more!!!!! Love these vids ❤
Oh wow! That means a lot! Didn't expect to read something like this today but I'll definitely keep pushing on and I'll try to make lots of bangers for Shadow Generations, I much appreciate everyone who looks forward to my silly showcases. Thank you for telling me this ❤️
0:25 THANK YOU SOMEBODY GETS IT!
The Cyber trail gives me an idea: How about repurposing the Boost as a "mode" you have to achieve by reaching high speed? Basically, a modern version of Advance 2's Boost Mode. This kind of Boost would actually be more satisfying than a mere button press. If someone could change the Cyber trail to have the Boost's aura, plowing properties, and the sonic boost-esque effect when triggered, I'd love that.
I'd also give the rolling its own kind of Boost aura, if possible - smaller, has the center closer to the ground, and perhaps looking similar to the Slide effect so it looks more intimidating, heh. Edit: Also make it do slightly more damage than the standing Boost, since it's technically two moves combined.
one of my biggest criticism of Frontiers' combat was that they never mix and match enemies together. I always found who you fight in a game to be the more interesting aspect of combat.
YES! I agree fully! Sorta related but at first I was honestly turned off by the alien robot designs because they had no personality while fighting.
There's another mod I made a video on called the New Master Trials where they sometimes mix and match enemies or have multiple at once ua-cam.com/video/rCr1xdDN1SU/v-deo.htmlsi=snBTR-HWkaiR_rPc
Yoooo this is freaking awesome!!
Watch out world here comes sonic and “The SPIN CYCLE”
They made frontiers' signature move a washing machine
Kronos Reimagined mod it's actually the most polished beta kronos mod with story changes cutscenes, bosses fixes objets and has the most bug fixes I hope you try that in a new frontiers story playthrough.
There's so much it's hard to keep up! I'll give it a go in a future video perhaps! I love covering everything I can.
@@DolphynsDeck Kronos Reimagined is the cleanest experience out of them all, with moved cinematics and moved Giganto. Starfall Island is the most expansive, with it building with the FH set data and it's re-rendering of cutscenes that i sadly haven't gotten in realtime yet-
True Kronos is probably the most customizable and the most vanilla out of them all, so it's really up to you to pick which one of those you like the sound of more.
I LOVE THIS MOD SO MUCH, It fixes nearly everything I dont like about frontiers. The only thing is when i spin dash or drop dash the sound is incredibly loud and I dont know how to fix it. But apart from that it is a FANTASTIC MOD.
It's awesome mods like these that try Frontiers from ok to an absolute blast.
Combat is a huge culprit for why I keep returning! It's probably the one thing you can keep doing after 100% because of all the combo routes.
0:47 that's cuz The Spincycle was mentioned in leaks IIRC or it was a name the community gave back when the game was revealed in May 2021....
I feel so old lol
This looks VERY cool! Unfortunately, the Original Cyber Space Themes mod makes things so dark that I can't make out much of the platforming.
I wonder what made that happen? Maybe graphics enhancement? I don't think it's supposed to be that dark.
we need to ping morio kishimoto about this stuff
Would love to see more of this
I wish I had more time or I would've done a full playthrough akin to my hour long Islands video
id love to see more vids playing around with these mods!!! maybe using the other characters like Amy whenever Sock finishes her
Specifically New Genesis-related?
@ yea with the rio character mods!
this looks amazing. the only thing I would change would be the cyberspace stages. Keep them as boost levels whilst having the open world be boostless
Project Unlimited does that! It's not out yet though. (ProtoArts on twitter)
Bro the mods look so cool
13 views on under a minute? My man's improving.
It's like the already perfect Frontiers sequel
Gotta pay respect to the modders for making morio kishimoto visions realize and i hope for the best that morio kishimoto keep on cooking and see what he did wrong and what he did right 😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏
Wild that the uneven terrain bug has never been patched.
Not sure wym but I'm interested
You vd are so well made!
Thank you, I'm still trying to get the perfect audio balancing since my headphones are wack. Good to know the videos are still enjoyed regardless
Feeling like gambit in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie rn
hold up i might need to revisit frontiers modding this is lowkey amazing 😭
They're only getting better and better ngl. They've added entire new levels and game modes too
If I Were To Make A Request The Creator Of This Mode, It's To Make Combat And Physics 3 Options 1. The Combat Changes, 2. Physics Changes, And 3. Both. I Gladly Will Play For The Combat, But Mess With The Physics And That Will Heavily Effect My Rating.
And 2v1s Needs To Be Made More In Combat Modes. First In Cyber Combat, Now Starfall Islands? HOOK ME UP!!
So I finally got it to work. I tested the adventure conversion mod and surprisingly it works with new genesis, though it takes away the ability to attack and breaks the rolling feature making everything a spin dash it actually isn’t a bad combination it makes the boost unnecessary on rails due to the trick boost in the conversion mod as well.
Overall it’s a good experience if you want to make the game as adventure as possible and I recommend you try it with the bounce bracelet if you do try it.
I was planning to play that mod at some point but I was turned off by some of the spinball physics. Perhaps combining these will make it fun 👀
@@DolphynsDeck it’s honestly a better experience for the cyberspace
Not that the open zone experience is bad you just get more out of this combo in open zone
And I’ve been playing the open zone stages like this and boy oh boy it feels like a completely different game. Cyberspace feels soooooo much better no matter the stage length
I have around 1250 hours of Frontiers on Steam but I've never tried mods that are not model swapping focused or something like that. Maybe I'll give this a try.
Im gonna spend all my savings for a new pc JUST to mlay this modpack, thanks
GL 🙏
@@DolphynsDeck thanks
6:00 the magna dash works but it a lot harder to perform
I only tried doing it for 4 minutes or so, had no idea lol
17:27 the speed trail makes that look yummy
I can't wait for the CD and 32x enhancements
surely those will be the amy and knuckles expansion packs
can we talk about the fact that this man has 6,000 purple coins
I take fishing very seriously
Bro locked in at Starfall
Also known in Europe as sonic frontiers new mega drive
imagine an entirely separate mod page specifically made for eu
and Japan
I wonder what all this would look like in first person, like those generations mods
I'd probably vomit and pass out
I wish I could buy frontiers on PC...
Also, for this mod combo, it's best to start on new game to actually experience the starting point of having barely any combat options
It'd take too long to record from scratch for me personally
Hopefully one day you can get it. It goes pretty cheap during sales
@DolphynsDeck One problem is that I think my PC is quite too weak (remove the quite) and the other is the government and I can't really do anything about it
I think this mod in interesting, guys.
You should make a video listing your definitive mods list for the game! I know you list what mods you use in your description but it seems to just be the mods you're putting focus on, rather than your whole mod list, as it does look like you're using some LUT mods, i might be wrong though
I'm just using the Graphics Enhancement lighting pack but I'll likely do that to close a chapter on Frontiers when Shadow Gens comes out. (I'll still do Frontiers stuff but Shadow will be my focus for a bit)
well, i really liked the video, these are probably mods im gonna get when i get frontiers someday, but i have some questions. is that cyber effect when you are boosting in cyber space part of the genesis mod?
As someone who's been playing the genesis mod, yes. Same with the wind effect when boosting in the open zone
@@VesDegree ok thanks :)
@@VesDegree i have another question. do you know if the starfall island mod add all the extra stuff like the millions of swinging things at 14:18 ?
Dunno but for some reason, I would love to see a toggleable Super Sonic when you complete the game and multiplayer for this mod
I did some of that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/cEz3qQg1M1U/v-deo.htmlsi=t_BzpvYHwrGOCxC1
I do have a plan for a toggleable Super Sonic video, I just haven't been able to make it because The Year Of Shadow kinda took over lol. Thank you for the suggestions! I'm definitely covering the multiplayer mod once it's done. I have a ton of ideas for it already :D
@@DolphynsDeck Sorry for replying two weeks late. Yes please do, and take your time. My brothers will be pleased with the result
Great vid, quick question what gameplay settings are you using for the mod
Pretty sure I didn't configure anything and just played it out of the box
WHAT IS THE MOD ORDER PLEASE
i have actually tried this mod and i have to say
it feels really slow compared to actual momentum physics if you dont have max speed, unlike actual momentum physics from games like sonic GT (which i would love to have a physics mod of), it feels like a crappy port of the sonic 2 physics into 3d games
also spindash feels like its meant to slow you down, not speed you up
what mod do you use for the side jump? it looks amazing :D
The real question is whether there's a mod to fix the uneven terrain bug?
I feel like that's the final step for a definitive edition
It depends on your mod order. I think my trick was to give the island mod the most priority.
Bro just transformed frontiers into sa2
Definitely need a mod order/codes list can't get this to work at all 😭😭
I feel like you’d like my mod pre-sets because I got one that blends boost and momentum with custom moves it’s really fun
is the list of mods in the description in the same order as the load order for the mods or does it not matter? I wanna try a playthrough with these this combo looks awesome!
I do Graphics Enhancement, Starfall Island, New Genesis and then everything below that.
@@DolphynsDeck thanks! Also how do you get that rail jump animation? I don't seem to have that one even with the same mods, though I'm not too familiar with sonic modding
Are the titan fighs any different? I can't seem to find any information about them.
Not afaik.
What is the name of the Cross Arm idle animation you used in some of your videos? (I saw your tutorial im just curious how to find the crossing arms)
So in your opinion, what would you rank this compared to other types of movesets?
I don't play custom physics very often because people tend to change the game in ways I don't like or it's just basic momentum physics I don't need after update 2, so I'd say this is a cut above the rest at the moment. I've seen some of Project Unlimited and Project Accel and they look like they're on this level or higher though.
So im trying to get the starfall islands mod to work but it somehow lets me clip through terrain everytime. How do i fix that?
put it at the top of the list
Also you have to start a new game it can't be on a save
im not sure if you're aware of this but there's an unfinished mod called "multiplayer mod" but its only finished by 2%
I made a short about it
is the starfall islands mod any different from kronos reimagined? ive seen them kinda do similar stuff
I somehow got melohs idle animation to work on Knuckles, idk if you want the file or not but I’ll gladly send it tomorrow if interested
That sounds cool! I'd love to see a clip of that on twitter or something
@@DolphynsDeck will do!
how'd you get dynamic hud to work with new genesis since that also changes the hud whenever i try it crashes the game
I really wonder how are the Titan Fights in New Genesis!
I would've tested but it didn't say anything about Super Sonic on the mod page
@@DolphynsDeck Are you really gonna make a re walkthrough of Sonic frontiers but with mods?
This damn mod can be a game itself wtf
New Game Plus Ultra
how much to have a pc that can run all of this?
Anyone know why after I collect the green chaos emerald the objective never changes and just says “get the chaos emerald” the waypoint still leads me to the empty vault lol
How would you compare this to Tracker's Physics? Which do you think plays more like Adventure style?
I don't remember Tracker's physics honestly. I tried it a long time ago and didn't feel the need to come back to it. Physics mods aren't typically my favorite
Although I like mod, this one provokes that I can't put mods to my sonic frontiers :( and I don't know how to fix it
so graphics enhancement v2 does work with starfall island. do you put graphics enhancement above or below starfall in the mod loader? my game crashes whenever i try to use them together
I'm trying to convince my bf to play this game after Shadow gen, which he loved. Do you guys recommend the Starfall island and the new genesis mod for a first time playthrough? He also played the adventure games and he's the most comfortable with those controls.
Id absolutely recommend New Genesis for a first run. Id say hold off on Starfall as it can be very buggy. Instead use island tweaker to fix the pop-in. Also read the newest comments for each mod to see what files or folders need to be deleted for each mod to work post the newest patch.
New Genesis combat may be a little complicated to grasp at first honestly. It does a good job improving the bosses but I'm usually a big advocate for playing vanilla for the first time. Part of why I was able to figure out the combos in New Genesis was my existing knowledge of the vanilla combat.
If you absolutely want the best vanilla experience I'd just use Reimagined Platforms, a camera adjustment mod, Terrain Clip Enabled Photo Mode code and Graphics Enhancement.
Might have to get this later, even though the no boost thing is a bit of a turn off
There's a lot of mods that keep the boost in tact. This is one of the few spindash-only mods that I enjoy
This isn't very related, but I've been using Meloh's Reanimated mod on the vanilla model (so no Rio Sonic or anything like that) but the rail jump animation is different from the cross-armed one in this video. Is there any way for me to switch or toggle the animation?? I can't seem to find any such options in the mod's configuration.
It's an old, scrapped animation from the first version of the mod. There's no way to obtain it and Meloh said they don't like it unfortunately.
@DolphynsDeck I saw on his page that he said he doesn't even have the animation files anymore, so I'm curious if someone who had the earlier versions like you could share those files so I could mix and match like you do in this video?
You got a list of codes that you also used for this mod pack other than Homing Attack Rebound?
Or any other additional mods like a combat mod would be amazing, thanks!
Pls do a full play through plssssssssssss
If I have time I'd love to... Sadly pretty busy recently. Maybe I'll stream it one day?
Can you make a good knuckles mod combo for sonic frontiers
ua-cam.com/video/ULvAIz2uews/v-deo.htmlsi=ANfqwfo6iYjTDTFM
Hello!
I wanted to inform you and anyone else that the "Dynamic HUD" mod no longer works. Whenever I tried to load it, it would crash the game as soon as I tried to load into the world.
That's because Sonic Team pushed out a useless new patch (lol)
There's a tutorial on downgrading your game version though: gamebanana.com/tuts/15933
@ that would explain why a few other features in some of the mods you listed aren’t working so well. Thanks!
Should i play this first or the bass game as a first time playthrough
Base game for sure. You'll appreciate stuff like this when you have knowledge of base game. Plus base is still great
Can you tell me what order each of your mods are in? And if you can, tell me which other mods you modified??
Starfall Island at the top, New Genesis under it and everything else is under those two basically
All I modified was animations on the player model
Hey how are you using reanimated frontiers with rio sonic?
I made a tutorial: ua-cam.com/users/shortsxdHx-hJRedg?si=sr7G5mkLFVnkjpYJ
ive been trying to get this working for two days and im ready to give up. some stuff is kind of working but my movement feels slow and clunky and my spin dash moves a the speed of smell. not to mention i always crash after the first dark, cyber level.
You have to rev the spindash to go fast. Delete the Codes file on the Cyberspace mod to stop the crashes.
random question, how do you switch characters? I've been trying all the keys on my keyboard and button on my controller and it wont let me
Characters In Cyberspace Mod or Character Swapper Code.
Ive been having trouble having the rio sonic mod work with frontiers reanimated, I can only have one or the other, anyone know how to make them work together?
Would you say the combination of these mods is the definitive way to play the game?
It depends if you like boost moveset or momentum moveset or vanilla combat tbh
I always feel the game is best when its the closest possible to vanilla with slight modifications
Shadow gen mods finna be 10x better
The only thing Shadow Gens lacks is a proper combat system. I wonder if people can mod that in using stuff from Frontiers
How do you have a custom model with an animation mod at the same time? Also with the map, theres a bunch of terrain i can walk through. And new genesis just crashes the game. Do you know/ can help with any of these? Thank you
From what I remember, the terrain glitches depend on the order of your mods. Try putting True Kronos above New Genesis or vice versa. Put them at the very top just to be safe.
As for models & animations, I have a tutorial: ua-cam.com/users/shortsxdHx-hJRedg?si=k9FIFgQMamJF_6sO
@@DolphynsDeck So i got the terrian glitched fixed *thank you* but I watched your tutorial, and others on how to get anims and a model. But when I follow your steps EXACTLY, my game just crashes. I was trying to use Socks Rio Sonic with Frontiers reanimated but the game would crash upon start up. So then i tried another model with the same animations and the game would still crash. Do you know what I should do? Also there are invisible walls where rea and kronos split. So im stuck on kronos. How do i get rid of them?
@@DolphynsDeck I deleted my comment cuz i found a solution to one of my questions. Also thx for ur help! Just 1 thing, I followed your tutorial about the models and animations but when I start the game, it just crashes. I currently found somewhat of a solution which is using the model i want and also using new genesis. But if I wanted to use diffrent animations what do i do? Thx!
How many mods can your PC handle for Sonic Frontiers until it starts acting up?
It isn't really a matter of "how many", some mods are just incompatible or need a specific order on the Loader
My mod manager says there’s illegal comments in the path so I can’t download it and idk why
Does it work or can it be made to work with the adventure conversion mod? I like the little trick boost thing it has and I feel like it’d be sick combined with this mod
Soncic frontyard.
Oh my god its time to uh...fuckin uh...genesis all over the place I don't fuckin know
if sonic, then only hedgehog
Hey what was that knuckles costume mod?
I believe it was Cel Shader Knuckles from the Rio Knuckles mod. All mods are in the description
@DolphynsDeck aight thanks dude
Sadly whenever I try to use the Starfall Island and New genesis mods together it crashes..
I put Starfall above New Genesis. Could be some other mod or code conflicting
@@DolphynsDeck Yeah I tried that too, one thing that was odd was I was trying JUST the Star fall island mod alone, and it made me clip through terrain a lot so I think I'm doing something wrong somewhere, it might be in the codes like you said, I'll have to try that out
Hi! did you solve it ?
Is there any specific codes I should enable in the mod manager?
or any recommended codes?
I'm pretty sure a lot of codes are enabled by themself when you use this. I'd recommend disable hit stop on homing attacks
Alright, thank you
Are you playing on steam deck?
This was on PC. I have a Shadow Generations modding video on Steam Deck though.
For future reference whenever I'm on my Steam Deck there's a border around the gameplay.
