Let me know what you thought of the new trailer!
this is the sequel to sonic 06
I think they showed quite enough for us to talk about
Sonic Frontiers trailer is awesome!! 😄✨
Underwhelming as expected.
The Frontiers trailer gave me some Zelda Breath of The Wild vibes. Don't ask me why though
It makes sense that Amy is plot relevant. The writer of the game is Ian Flynn, and he has changed Amy's role in the franchise for good in the IDW series.
Cool
glad our girl is having some spotlight
Can u please tell me how he has changed amy
@@jakeriese4862 She's not an annoying little girl that's chasing Sonic anymore. She is indeed in love, but she acts like an adult. She is the leader of the Resistance. She actually helps in battle, and much more.
@@VelvetMVV I'm guessing he is picking up from where Adventure 2 left off.
About the sonic model, they might just be using a placeholder model, as the game is still far from finished, and he did have longer spines in the CGI part of the trailer
I’m hoping the model is a placeholder, however in the CGI trailers for forces I’m pretty sure he still had longer spines as well, but who knows
@@Sonicforce The boxart and the later CGI trailers for Forces showed him with shorter quills and light blue fur, so I hope this one is a placeholder.
He always has long spines in every single CGI trailer for every game. That's just the generic CGI Sonic model they've been using since Unleashed. Unfortunately it's most likely not a placeholder model, but maybe we can get them to change the model to have longer spines and a skinnier/taller stature like he used to if we ask enough. It worked for the Sonic movie 🤷🏻♂️
@@silverguy526 it probably is as they even only show sonic in one shot, so I doubt they wanted to focus on sonic's model
I hope it's not a placeholder lol overly long quills makes Sonic look overly top heavy. We need new models across the board but yeah I'm in the minority in the sense that I prefer the proportions of the Forces model over the Unleashed model
Our boy Ian Flynn is writing the game! That alone has me excited for Sonic again!
I do hope he's not alone though. Like, he has some help from a few Adventure 2 writers, for example
Wait really? I though that the Sonic stories were doomed to suck but Ian Flynn is writing this? I'm a huge fan of the Sonic Archie Comics and read a few of the IDW ones, I'm so glad Sega actually picked the right guy for the job.
I just hope he doesn't get fucked over by the mandates.
@@jamiegioca9448 Yeah because Flynn's writing as far as I know from the Archie run and current IDW run has been alright to meh in my opinion. I still remember the Boom episode that he wrote that made people mad and PLUS the Sonic Forces beta script as well didn't win any favors either.
Less goo
Honestly no need to be too worried Chao. The trailer was just to build the hype for the game of course. It truly looked amazing. If we got to see gameplay right now almost a full year before release people might already come to early conclusions with the game and the sonic franchise can’t afford that to happen with their recently bad track record. Gamefreak did this with Pokemon Legends Arceus and the community demolished them for the poor frame rate and soft looking textures in the gameplay. It’s best for them to build hype now with a cgi trailer then maybe summer next year or closer to release show gameplay when it’s at its most polished to get the best feedback
So glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.
@@TrashPanda0219 and I am Happy there are two people that think like me
They literally showed in game graphics
They literally showed in game graphics
I like people who think like you. Everyone keeps asking for gameplay of a game that’s a year from now. I mean like come on games like elden ring can do that so why can’t sonic?
I like how they are returning back to a semi-realistic adventure style theme rather than the cartoony style we've been plagued with for years. It's the first time I'm interested in a new Sonic game.
@@sdpr_5 It is what Unleashed was aiming at.
Realistic but still plausible to see Sonic there.
@@conic2721 if i didnt know this was sonic and just saw the in engine shots of the world, i wouldnt think this was sonic, so i have to disagree there with you haha. Nothing particularly sonic about it yet, especially with the towers in the back, but we’ll see.
@@sdpr_5 I remember hearing a comment from another youtuber I follow reacting to the event where he said "if Sonic wasn't present in that trailer it could've easily merged together with all the other games shown in the event", and I agree 100%. I hope there's more to the game's art direction that makes it more Sonic-like (and if possible leans more towards Adventure than 06 in terms or "realism").
Also nothing wrong with cartoony artstyles, especially when it comes to the Sonic series which is all about colorful cartoony talking animals. It's just that it can be done right or it can be done wrong like everything else. Unleashed did it best in my opinion and if the entire franchise moving forward from that game had a similar art direction I wouldn't complain. But future titles played it safe with everything including the art direction so they made it pretty uninteresting for everyone except perhaps toddlers. The fact that they kept going for classic era imagery every step of the way didn't do them any favors either.
@@inendlesspain4724 yup, something as simple as adding a checkerboard pattern to the dirt or making more palm trees would go a long way to give it a distinct visual style. Removed from the context of sonic, it looks like a pretty looking unreal engine game, but thats about all i can say
Yea because how dare cartoon characters looks and feel like cartoons…
The “save-point” structures might actually be the portals talked about in the 4chan post. The ring structure up top makes me think of the ring you’d jump through to get to a Special Zone in the classic games in order to nab a Chaos Emerald.
Also the chirping noise at the end of the trailer sounds like someone saying “Don’t, it’s too dangerous!”
Honestly I think that the save point thing is a portal to the sonic unleashed style levels
(That sentence im fairly certain is what they said but, even less of an idea as to who said it.)
think it was either tails or amy that had the first line. maybe capture by the machine thingy and can still talk to sonic? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Honestly both Sonic Trailers have me excited, even tho I’m cautious on the absence of gameplay in the Game trailer however it does look gorgeous and I’m holding out hope.
Me too. The last thing I want to do is fall for the Sonic Cycle again
Theres so much going on in the movie that i dont think tails will get fleshed out
@@TheReZisTLust eeeeh I have Faith in the Movie but let’s wait and see
Well they did say the game was revealed too early so I understand if they don't have any good looking gameplay yet.
@@sunflow57 I can understand that which is why I didn’t want to harp about it too much
I hope they just used the Sonic Forces model as a place holder, because Sonic looks incredible and pretty different from the Forces model in the pre-rendered cutscenes shown, which look more like his look came from Unleashed.
Definitely. I’m curious why didn’t they use unleashed model tho. Could be since this is hedgehog engine 2 they already had a sonic model here and just decided to use it.
Some leaks were saying in this game sonic has never looked better and we know for sure forces model is one of the worst ones.
Marza seemed to be using unleashed model 🤔 I hope the forces model isn’t the one they will use in game cause I doubt sega learned how to animate that model. Gee last time they did that ma boi sonic looked stiff.
Has a very “HIRE THIS MAN” look to it. Would prefer if it was a little stylish.
Edit: just a small nitpick about the graphical style. I’m still very excited for this game, especially with Ian Flynn on the team. I started the IDW comics a few months ago and I absolutely love them.
To be fair, this is the same aesthetic style of the Adventure games in the natural aspects.
…and now the song is stuck in my head again.
I love the boom and 06 vibes, it just needs a little ✨shaping✨I need it to be a bit more fantasy-like how they did with 06 cause this feels a bit too real world. Not complaining at all 😅
@@emilie8356 remember, this is early CG footage. It'll obviously not look like Hire This Man by launch.
6:45 “It sounds pretty similar to Colleen O’Shaughnessey” *shows clip of Kate Higgins as tails*
I kinda like to imagine that Sonic gets to these islands by either running there across water, teleporting somehow, flying on the tornado with tails idk how he contacts him though lol or just turning into Super Sonic
Sounds cool... But there's no way they made three separate islands
All i can say is i hope the map is HUGE cause playing warframe has taught me something... when theres an open world and you give people a Flash type speedster character they're gonna absolutly try to break the time barrier and transend the game
A chao garden system in an open world game would be so sick.
I’ve been saying they need to bring back the chao garden with this game! It had such positive feedback and for them never to bring it back again kind of disappointed me.
Nice to see the old CGI cutscenes back, the trailer gives me strong Unleashed/Black Knight vibes and I for one would be very happy if this game goes in a similar tone and direction as them.
I saw the game awards yesterday. Can’t say I was disappointed
well i was
the opposite of disappointed
@@Safalmao had me in the first half not gonna lie
i was, the only things i liked were sonic stuff
The trailers are amazing and if the next game is open world and big enough the boost gameplay would be perfected
I'm honestly pretty excited for this, but still a little skeptical. I'm happy with the tone they are going for and that Ian Flynn is writing this one. It felt like an in between of black knight and 06 in terms of art direction. I was looking back at the forces trailers because I can see how they were trying hard to sell basically nothing (especially the dramatic text cuts) and this trailer feels like there is more passion and sincerity... I just hope they don't use the forces model and that it's just a placeholder, or that they rework his animations to not be stiff as heck
Pls I don’t want forces model, I hope the cutscenes have unleashed quality in animations cause in forces it just looked awful. I need unleashed model
9:50 That floating thing looks an awful lot like an Emerald. I don't know what purpose it would have, but the shape just seems too conspicuous to me. The round shape may be a door, and there appears to be some floating platforms around it. Maybe it's like a BOTW shrine - some kind of challenge area/"bonus stage"? It's split open, but maybe that indicates that the challenge hasn't been completed yet, like how shrines change colours.
Or this could be the location of these portals the leaks mentioned or a boss arena.
Ian Flynn LFG!
Gotta admit, I'm still a little skeptical. The input of the Sonic games in recent years has been...Lacking, to put it lightly. This trailer certainly makes an impression, and I think open world is definitely a step in the right direction. But, since Generations, it seemed like Sonic Team just stopped trying. So, I'm still pretty apprehensive towards Frontiers.
But I think we'll all know for sure when gameplay drops.
I think they stopped trying out of fear
@@mattkugelman4369 Fear of another '06, perhaps
@@MonsterDawg79 that and recently forces, I mean come on we all know how many people keep having to bring it up as an example
@@mattkugelman4369 I'm honestly tired of people mentioning that shitfest, like it's been 16 damn years, man. They already apologized with Unleashed but no one took that seriously.
“It was essentially a 30 second video of Sonic’s feet”
I’m sure people from DeviantART were happy.
I guess the plot will be related to the Echidnas or Angel Island in some way. On closer look you can spot black-blue patterns on those ancient structures, which reminded me about Sky Sanctuary's design from Generations
if the Echidnas are Envolved. Ken Penders better be the Co-Writer.
I hope sonic is more expressive in this game just like The “dark age”games and he just doesn’t have that stupid smile all the time but since Ian Flynn is writing this game I think sonic will be just as expressive as he was in the old games and the comics.😉
I really really *REALLY* hope this game succeeds.
there's already a Wikipedia page for Sonic frontiers and it talks a little bit about what happened and why Sonic is there and it says. After Doctor Eggman's attempts to control an ancient technology go wrong, Sonic sets out to rescue his friends and learn the true nature of the technology.
At the moment I’m thinking the “open zones” may be giant hub worlds and the towers are how you access the acts. I hope Sonic & Amy get to partner up this game, for something different to Tails.
Part of me is obsessed with figuring out the definitive article of the a game series, and I get the feeling Frontiers might be it.
Sonic is about, as a character, freedom. So, that translates to open world, just as Unleashed translated that with the world adventure. New lore? Check. Environmentalism? There's a contrast between the open world and cyberspace, so I'd like to think so. Eggman hubris? Probably check, with that article about the story.
The ruins you equated to the art style from the trailer remind me of a type of crystal or rock. I don't remember the name though.
I didn't notice any rings, so I think there might be new health system. I hope there's no fall damage.
And while I am concerned the lack of gameplay, what's described in the leaks isn't THAT bad.
Fall damage in Sonic games will not happen
they blasted our blue boy through space and he still lived the crash landing (unleashed but also many other games) i think he's gonna be okay, no fall damage
The one thing I'm hoping most about is being able to transform into Super Sonic - just thinking of flying and blazing through the terrain at overworldly speeds as The Golden Light makes me so damn excited
It's mindblowing for me now that I realized that when Sonic Forces came out I was 15 and when Frontiers will drop I'll be 20...
Holy shit, same here 😭😭
Same here man
I’m pretty sure it’s tails talking the first time saying “sonic over here”, and Amy talking at the end saying “it’s too dangerous”
Well the XBox version of the trailer comes with subtitles and it says both times "Amy" in them.
Also if you listen to the Japanese version of the Trailer will you hear both times the unmistakable voice of Japanese Amy.
It's Amy's voice it's been confirmed. But it may be the AI villain mimicking Amy's voice to distract Sonic (that's my theory at least)
@@rynobehnke8289 You know for a good whole day I completely forgot that Sonic existed in Japanese too. Thanks for reminding me.
@@silverguy526 good theory
I love how Sega seems to have finally abandoned using nostalgia and old ideas to sell their games. The trailer had such a profound effect on me when I realized that it wasn't just Green Hill again.
I'm also glad Sonic is back to fighting Kaiju monsters. Dude's gonna be the next Kirby at this point.
Having a whole archipelago to explore sounds really fun... each Island is a Zone! Also it'll help with load times, I hope.
Each island may be a giant hub world to explore, and when some objectives are done the towers may unlock Sonic Generations style level acts.
It like the open world zones and it looks like they may have ditched the wisps which I am happy about because they were so goofy mechanic wise and didn’t really appeal to my personally. I’m excited but I need to see gameplay before I’m completely sold on it.
I have similar feelings. I still don't know why we haven't gotten any gameplay yet. Also what I would like to see are the gimmicks this game has to offer because I haven't seen none of them yet. It looks pretty empty as of right now. So yeah I am cautiously excited about this but all I can do now is just to hope that its gotta be good.
But the game is like a year from nowb
@@eyusuki9631 still we waited 5 years. I really expected more.
@@eyusuki9631 Its a game not a movie
Nobody cared about your CGs or ingame graphics if your *p l a t f o r m e r* is lame, and not showing anything, THIS far, and with the track record of current Sonic Team, is way past -cool- suspicious
@@Sukaiba69 bruh y’all must really want some gameplay 💀💀
@@eyusuki9631 Yuh, and rightfully so. We don't want this game to be ass, especially with how much bigger the scale is here. Graphics are cool and all but gameplay is the real saviour of any game.
This CGI reminds me of the storybook games CGI cutscenes, which i like
14:07 something you missed is that there appears to be platforms on that leg, so we may be able to climb it shadow of the colossus style
Egg Golem on steroids
Staying cautiously optimistic about Sonic Frontiers. After the past decade my confidence and trust in Sonic Team is non-existent, so I’m not getting my hopes up until the game is released
You know what really intrigues me about this game? This will be the first fully 3D main series Sonic game in years. Ever since Unleashed, Sonic has always been half 3D/half 2D sections. Now granted, we haven't seen any gameplay yet, so there could still be plenty of 2D sections in this game, but seeing that it's going to be open world, I don't see much room to fit a lot of 2D sections in here. I think the last time we got a fully 3D main series Sonic game was probably Sonic 06.
Please no 2D sections!
If it works. We will finally be rid of 2D sections
I'm really cautious for Frontiers even if Ian Flynn is in this we know Sonic team can still somehow mess this up, Sega can impose too many limitations on him and not give him enough autonomy to do his work.
As for the movie i think is gonna be very good
I love how iconic Amy Rose's voice is. No matter who the official voice is you'll know it's Amy Rose. Same with Shadow, Knuckles, Early Sonic and Late Tails.
Not to mention they have a year left so this thing can definitely improve so we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg
I'm not afraid of the gameplay. The key is momentum and how Sonic actually interacts with the environment but we can kind of imagine what the open world part of the game is like. Then the cyberspace levels sound like they might be some evolution of boost. I think of it like Adventure, you have action stages and adventure fields and the adventure fields in this game are one massive open world instead of small segmented areas. I imagine the puzzles in the open world probably aren't as good as Breath of the Wild just because Nintendo does a lot of stuff better than everyone else. But overall I'm happy and not too worried. I'm sure it will have flaws but we are getting a game with a big scope filled with ambition, a fresh look and atmosphere and the dev team isn't being so rushed this time. And imagine what modders are gonna be able to do with this. (Someone mod in the fully animated '06 Sonic model pleeease) I'm happy. This is MASSIVE step up from running through straight corridors the entire game. Btw this does look like Zelda but it also reminds me of Phantasy Star Online New Genesis. If people are worried about no corkscrews, jump pads and things that are more familiar, those traditional Sonic elements might be in the cyber/action stages in some form. If these action stages are some kind of digital worlds then Sonic Team can really switch things up and take Sonic to any kind of surreal or more Sonic-like environments they want.
Kinda wonder if the rumored SA1 remake just evolved into this now
Hey remember when forces had trailers with zero gameplay
To be fair theirs only so much you can do for puzzles when speed is the name of the game, not saying it's impossible but I'm not looking for advertly complicated puzzles
One thing you missed is at 13:32 when the camera was zooming to Sonic's eye to show the enemy, you can hear the feminine voice again saying "Don't! It's too dangerous"
Also, I can't wait for this game and I can't wait to see what's this game about
I like how Sonic is gonna have a darker shade of blue this time around, the almost cyan color he had in Mania and Forces didn't seem to fit both Little and Green-Eye Sonic.
Frontiers looks interesting I guess? I feel you 100% about feeling lowkey worried. Yes the game’s environments look visually pretty decent but the world doesn’t seem to have much to do in it. that’s all I got out of it.
It’s what I didn’t see that really has me a bit concerned. no enemies at all, no rings, no treasure, no gameplay lol, just… literally an open world. Why not include any of those in your trailer to get people hyped? Assuming those initial leaks are real then they did say there wasn’t a ton to do and the game felt button mashy. I don’t know man. I really hope they can pull this one off
i think they want to show the visual of the game and the areas, so they probably removed rings and enemies
I feel like this is a mix if Boost and Adventure, and that combination seems like it would be fun.
Also, for rail grinding, I hope it works like this:
Being on the rail without boosting would have it act like SA2, but when boosting, it acts like Boost-style Grinding seen in Sonic Generations, Colors, etc
I've been thinking about it lately, and I think the boost should work like in Green Hill Paradise Act 1, where you have to run fast and for long enough to get the boost aura. The current boost formula would work perfectly for Metal Sonic though
Adventure level design, controls, and physics with the boost mechanic added in. I think we can all agree that the boost level design has long outstayed their welcome.
My biggest guess would be that they are waiting till E3 to show off more gameplay since it gives more time for things to be polished and puts more eyes on the game overall since E3 is a far bigger event and they could even have gameplay demos at E3!
Bless this comment
I’m not one to really jump to conclusions until I can play it for myself. With that said, I want this.
I would love to see this be as good as I'm imagining haha
Even though I have concerns about the final product, the fact that we finally have another 3D Sonic game that isn't just a hallway simulator has me excited. Finally glad to be able to use Sonic's movement in an environment perfectly fit for his moveset and speed. As long as they nail the "feeling" of controlling him, I'm sure the game will turn out at least fine.
Also, Ian Flynn hype!
I’m hyped for this game,Ian Flynn writing the story, open world with new original environments, and sonic fighting a gundum/evangelion esc robot is cool (idk why I it reminds me of those two mecha anime). Sonic hasn’t fought some gigantic kaiju beast since gens and I’m so happy, I hope my trust is paid back when the game comes out.
If you turn on closed caption in the trailer, it tells you it's Amy's voice 😁
I loved that some of the places remember the scenarios of Black Knight.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who got concerned of the lack of gameplay in the trailer. Also, the subtitles for the trailer confirmed that it was Amy who talked to Sonic in the beginning. It must be a new VA 😄
So here's my take: I don't think they're using the Sonic Forces model at 8:52, I think we're still looking at the CGI animation and not the actual game play model, I could be wrong tho. Also that floating structure at 9:48 definitely looks like a chaos emerald, it even has this black aura surrounding it. I theorize that this artificial chaos emerald will be similar to the Giga Bell from Bowser's Fury, Sonic can activate this emerald when he gains enough power and he'll be able to go super, though it'll be different from his usual super form.
Personally I have mixed feelings about this trailer, firstly an open world Sonic game sounds cool but I don't know if they can pull it off. Sonic is mainly about platforming in 2D-ish areas and I don't think that will translate well into a game like this. I also find it suspicious that there's no gameplay, kinda like how Sonic Forces had no gameplay in it's trailer and it just had epic looking animation. I hope that's not the case here but I wouldn't be surprised.
It just sounds like they're ripping off Breath of the Wild, with Sonic being chased by a purple entity and being called out to by a feminine ghostly voice. There's also the similarities in land scape, locations, etc. I think they're also taking inspiration from Bower's Fury, with the giant, dark entity chasing you throughout the game at choice moments.
I don't think any of these ideas clash with Sonic very well, exploration often means slowing down and taking things in and I don't think that'll *feel* like a Sonic game, especially since Sonic's friends don't look like they'll play a huge role in this game.
If this is going where I think it's going, then they really need to make Sonic an entertaining character in this game and make a really good story.
His CGI animation doesn’t even look like that though, the quills are definitely longer in the cgi
YOU HAVE TO DO A CHARITY RUN IN A SONIC COSTUME NOW
The model could be a slightly altered version of the forces model or it’s a placeholder for now; the idle pose might not yet be finished and the forces pose could also be a placeholder
if you watch the xbox trailer and with subtitles on, it shows that amy is saying what sonic hears in the forest and in the plains
Maybe this is gonna be the sonic synergy we wanted
Absolutely perfect video. You wrapped it up as well as the story. Can't wait to see your future videos!
11:55 looks like the entrance to final egg to me when you’re walking up to it in the Mystic ruins jungle
Sonic: Zero Dawn is looking pretty nice right now.
I like your analysis videos! I haven't even noticed some of the details!
"Sounds just like Colleen O’Shaughnessey" *Shows us clips of Kate Higgins Tails*
7:27 Ghost Girl was my favorite ghost. 💖
I’m going to say, Sonic Movie 2 Trailer & Sonic Frontiers was freakin awesome at the game awards. For Sonic Frontiers, I loved the graphics from trailer of many places to explore, it was so cool to see the world of the adventure. 😊
It’s confirmed it’s Amy
been waiting to see your reactions and to hear your thoughts! always pumped for a new chaomix vid.
The talk about ancient but technological aesthetic reminded me of Emerl
maybe Amy's voice actress herself does the voice of the ghost girl or maybe all of Sonic's friends are trapped in cyberspace and he can hear their voices
Amy’s Japanese VA said it was Amy’s voice
Her voice actress says it's literally Amy.
I love how you used the Sonic CD soundtrack throughout the video, good stuff!
I'm excited on how sonic team, a team that mainly make linear games make an open world.
I feel those "checkpoints" are warp points like the checkpoints from Shadow The Hedgehog, where you go back or to activated warp points to get to areas instantly
I know you've been up all night since you live in Chicago and the game awards ended at 10pm 😂. I appreciate you for getting this analysis out for us. Keep up the great work!
I think the "super boost" will let sonic travel in and out of cyberspace levels. If not that then the "checkpoints" look like portals when lit up so i think its either one of those.
I’m not sure if you noticed it because it was pretty hard to hear, but towards the ending when Sonic is up against the giant robot, what I believe you referred to as “robotic chirping” I think was actually that voice again from the beginning saying “It’s too dangerous!”
I think the mini island at 11:15 is a level portal
In Sonic 06, the way you entered Wave Ocean was by unlocking the Light Speed Dash and using it to dash to the level portal. In the Frontiers leaks, they said there was a shop for you to buy power ups like the Spin-Dash, Stomp, and the Light Speed Dash. Maybe you buy the Light Dash, and you can use it to get to the island to the Cyberspace levels?
Maybe that floating triangle we saw near the start is some sort of track, or a cyberspace location? you can see lots of curvy shapes around it, perfect for running around in.
And those rails, bridges and facility-type things we say could mabye be abandoned eggman bases? maybe he found some sort of power here and was trying to harness it, when some gaurdian, entity or- whatever... did something to him? And those ruins with the curciular shapes we saw at 1:40 and 1:52 could mabye be other ways to get to cyberspace.
I dont know, guess we'll have to wait and see!
15:23 you can see the platforms from where the rail was in this shot
This looks so much more ambitious than usual holy shit!
Don't know why but seeing night time made me really hyped as well
This game is invoking a lot of 06 and Rise of Lyric imagery, but it looks like it plans to do more with it
Honestly if this ends up being like the trailer I don't know if my switch will survive
6:40 if you watch the trailer posted from xbox and turn on captions the caption says : "[Amy] Sonic over here"
Well, if no one has mentioned it yet, the scene in the grassy field where you see something in sonic's eye, I'm fairly certain that "Robotic chirping" Is Amy saying "It's too dangerous" Or something along those lines
it was confirmed to be amy
This is a good analysis bro nice job :)
I hope that land across the water is something you can run to across water or even make underwater areas
What if those checkpoint thing's are portal's to cyberspace level's?
6:44 Lmao the Tails clip you played isn’t even Colleen, it’s Kate Higgins.
We came a long way, we’re ready for this
That first "trailer" was a teaser, your video on it even says so.
And of course it dosen't show much, it's there to tease what will be in the game, with the boost effect and the symbol.
I think they'll drop a gameplay trailer later on, maybe they wanted the first one to be just a first seen of the game
Honestly: It reminds me of Spider-Man for the ps4 then anything else! Worlds difinetly the biggest link to that. I would love more Sonic Refrences,Especially more movie Refrences. Maybe a sack of rings is hanging on a branch?
They can’t really be compared. If Insomniac did the Sonic game it would be better than this by far.
Indeed
Between this and the movie, it seems Sonic is coming back, baby.
I’m so glad Chaomix pointed out the voice
It took me a year to finally realize that Chaomix’s avatar was based on dragon ball (I think)
I like how similar the structures are to sky sanctuary, always liked that design with the stone and shiny glass look
So for the towers i think that they might have the same function as in many others OW games: Expanding the map when you get to the top and activate them. For the circular arches behind the waterfall and the pyramid-like thing, i don't know but they give me portal vibe. Maybe you can activate them (by doing a donjon or a puzzle) to fast travel.
I think the “open zones” may be hub worlds and the towers let you access the acts, like Sonic Unleashed on a bigger scale.
Excellent analysis!
7:36
Sonic recovering in midair by doing a boost with that aura made me think that this could be a mechanic for the game. I'm not sure how the combat would be, but I think it might be cool that at certain points those machines would chase after sonic and you have to run to escape. That boost could be a used for recovering when sonic gets hit and keep the momentum up for the running.
Either that or it could be used for platforming. From what it looks like Sonic was in the air for awhile when he boosted. Probably used for reaching platforms that Sonic couldn't reach.
Who knows maybe what I said might not happen and I'm just speculating too much.😶
For all we know, the model could be a placeholder
The giant robot gives me shadow of the colossus vibes. How cool would it be if you had to scale giant bosses with sonics speed to defeat them
