>>24618 >You looking forward to it? I like 3D Sonic and the road to new game releases is always a thrill but it's way too early to look forward to the game itself for obvious reasons.

>>24619 fair

I'm just glad they're ditching the boost gameplay.

>>24662 How do you know they are?

For all we know, they could just be reusing Sonic Lost World's controls/handling/physics. They did do that Zelda DLC that was "open world".

>>24665 Now there's something I've completely scrubbed from my memory. I never got to play that because they didn't re-release it for PC when they ported Lost World. Say, Wii U probably has emulators at this point right? Not that I'm super interested in playing it but it is a bit more relevant now.

>>24665 As someone who didn't play lost world, is the reason why it got criticized was only because of the mario galaxy style levels? I personally like the way sonic moves in that game aside from the run button.

>>24667 > is the reason why it got criticized was only because of the mario galaxy style levels? Haven't played the full game, only the demo, but the problem I found is that it's still a boost game, in design, that's trying to disguise itself like it's one of the 3D platformer games. The best way to compare is that it's the difference between Shadow and Heroes; where the base game is the "same" between the two, but Heroes has the team gameplay and more speed oriented, meanwhile Shadow has the weapons and more focussed on exploration. Although, in some ways, Lost World does serve as a proper 3D follow-up to the 2D games.

>>24667 >>24668 >As someone who didn't play lost world >Haven't played the full game, only the demo You can get the full game from here if you're interested in trying it out. >>23496

>>24667 Lost World is basically Colors 2. More actual 3D gameplay, and a run button, but it doesn't change as much as you'd think. It still feels fundamentally like a "Modern Sonic" game, but without all the nostalgiabait of Generations or excess of extremely polished content (even if you don't like the premise) of Unleashed.

lol fuck this game

>>25029 lol

>>25103 I'm slowly warming up to Frontiers but honestly Unleashed is miles ahead in terms being a convincing game. The music, the environments, the gameplay, it all feels so much more charming. The first trailer is rather raw due to the technical issues and while that would surely draw concern just like it did with Frontiers the comparison ends there, Unleashed just has a lot more going for it in general. The second trailer is fucking cool and makes me want to replay Unleashed pretty fucking bad. If they manage to show something with that level of detail and care they'd ease up the concerns of a lot of people, but then again some others would complain because of the old formula but that's going to happen regardless. The framerate in Dragon Road is completely fucked up though, lol. I actually went looking for the original video to see if it wasn't benis. The faggot in the video has a point in that if they do something like that again it'd be a bloodbath.

>>25110 me like new funni blue hedgehog games

>>24618 <5th anniversary >sonic 3d blast <15th anniversary >sonic '06 <25th anniversary >sonic forces <35th anniversary >sonic frontiers 2? does not inspire me with confidence

>>26311 You're forgetting that the 10th anniversary was the death of the Dreamcast and the 30th was Colors Ultimate. Every anniversary (apart from the 20th) has had more negatives than positives.

>>26831 Sonic '26

>>26831 <le dreamcast ACKening >omits the introduction of FUCKING CHADOW <colors ultimate was the le 30th anniversary game actual retard, that was frontiers <b-but muh 2021 frontiers was delayed a year and even though it's flawed, it's still the best selling 3d sonic game since heroes the only arguable thing is whenever the title of the 25th anniversary sonic game should belong to mania or forces but since every anniversary game is a modern sonic game, it should be forces desu

>>27386 It's both. 2006 also had 3 anniversary game releases. I guess Forces should have precedence since it's the one main series game, but Mania actually includes mentions of the anniversary

You know what's weird, Frontiers was the first time the drop dash had any utility for me. In Mania I knew about it, but there wasn't much incentive to using it when I already had the spindash ingrained in my muscle memory. Whereas in Frontiers, the dropdash allowed me to go uphill faster than just boosting did due to the game's weird physics, giving me a reason to dropdash instead of boost. It's seemingly the only time that Sonic Team managed to do something better than Whitehead and yet it was completely by accident.
