Sonic Discussion

Looking forward to Sonic Prime!

@Mighty Aphrodite
Me too.
I hope it lives enough so it could introduce more characters.

And I definitely think Sonic Frontiers will be in my PS4 library next year (alongside Resident Evil 4).

I remember when Cindy Robinson started voicing Amy, people complained she sounded like Minnie Mouse…or Pinkie Pie.

With Sonic Prime we’ve come full circle.

@CalypsoFantasy
People complain Sonic’s eyes were green.

Cindy Robinson also voiced the Purge warning lady.

Whoops wrong thread

Uh, are we steering away from Sonic in a Sonic thread?

So I just thought of something that personally I think would have made a big improvement out of Sonic Unleashed in my opinion.
Now I have nothing against Unleashed I think it is a great game, but it was sort of the point in which Sega did want to just focus on Sonic himself so as a result non of the other beloved and recognized characters were anywhere in the game or story (with the exceptions of Tails and Amy who even then aren’t playable or contributed to the story all that much). Even Knuckles the protector of the Master Emerald and is quite knowledgeable about the Chaos Emeralds couldn’t even lend any kind of help for Sonic and Chip trying to recharge the Emeralds.

Now I’m fine with them wanting to focus on Sonic and his Werehog stages, so a decent compromise would be to have the other characters show up in different locations that Sonic visits sorta like they are doing their own sort of things and Sonic just happens to run into them which would be a nice way to still contribute to these characters still being relevant in some matter of speaking.

So a few examples of what I mean by this include:
Amy showing up in Spagonia doing some site seeing
Cream and her mother Vanilla in Apotos having brunch
Espio in Chun-nan doing recon work (he is a ninja after all)
Big in Holoska doing some ice fishing
Rouge in Shamar on another treasure hunt
Vector in Empire City doing his detective work
Charmy in Adabat having fun even though he’s supposed to be on an assignment
and Shadow in Mazuri keeping to himself, meanwhile Tails and Knuckles could actually contribute more to the actual story.

Anyways those are just my thoughts on the matter.

There is a Prologue for Sonic Frontiers that’s all about Knuckles and how he will tie into the new game’s story, and I gotta say this is one of the best things I have seen in such a long time.
Aside from the animation looking really great, but this short after all these years gives Knuckles the respect he deserves.
The previous games usually treat him as a joke in that he’s not very smart or that he always needs to compete with Sonic over who’s the better hero, but there was a time when he was his own type of hero who helped others in his own way but is still thankful for help when needed.

Personally I think this short did a really good job portraying that.

I also like the added lore and continuity to his character and Angel Island, they even referenced Tikal and her events from Sonic Adventure which is important.

Overall I am just getting more hyped to play Frontiers now.

@Dr_Osaka

Ahh, good memories.

I just had a realization: in the first episode of “Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog”, most of the episode is a flashback Sonic tells of Scratch and Grounder’s origins. But we see Robotnik creating them, so technically Sonic shouldn’t know HOW they were made since we never saw Sonic at his fortress. Either an oversight, or Sonic took a wild guess?

@Dex Stewart
Probably for audience convenience. Like how in “Inside Out” all of Riley’s memories shown were from a third-person perspective rather than first.

You guys ready for the experience?

@Background Pony #C2B2
that caught me so off garde too, sonic just drops that in a off hand remark.

LET’S F##KING GO!!!

@Angrybrony
Was it like an ancient inscription of them or did Sonic literally namecall them

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
straight up said tangle’s name.

Alright, I’ve gotten a little over 3 hours into Sonic Frontiers.

Guys. I don’t want to jinx anything, but this might be the best Sonic game I’ve played since Generations.

@Penguin Dragneel
That settles it. I’ll be buying it on Steam on Friday or Saturday (when I get paid.)

@Goku Black
Make sure you bump the music volume down whenever you get the chance. For some reason, the cutscenes have “SA2 Battle” syndrome where the music plays louder than the voices. Thankfully, unlike that game, you actually get the option to fix it.

@Penguin Dragneel
Noted.
