  • In this video, I will go over why it's very important for Sonic to get a win with this title. With how the blue blur has been getting shafted in the games lately between Forces, the Colors remake , and the Origins collection being a bit lacking in terms of what it was trying to do, along with the questionable decision making SEGA has been doing, our boy has been having quite a bad time as of late.

    SEGA actually wanted this game released last year because they wanted the money closer to Sonic 2’s momentum. Iizuka told them it wasn’t ready yet and pushed back, because they haven’t learned their lesson from the last time they pushed a game out early.

    I think Sonic Team is well aware that this is a make or break for a lot of folks.
    We had a roller coaster of emotions all throughout the 2010s. Colors was good (aged poorly), generations was great. Free Riders killed the Sonic Riders series... and Forces while many stick up for it. It was subpar.
    I think Sonic team knows that and they are probably tired of sandbagging the games. At the very least I know a high budget game when I see one. And this looks like one. The last one we had was back in Unleashed technically and that's my favorite Sonic game.
    Tl;dr I have my hopes. No matter what happens, I'll still support them. But they gotta make a hit for sure.

      Sonic Colors for Wii was a disappointment when it came out & failed miserably to live up to either 2008's Unleashed or 2009's Black Knight let alone the glory of the Adventure Games. 2010 was probably the worst year in the history of Sonic for having 3 low quality games release within weeks of eachother with Free Riders, Sonic 4, & Colors. Generations wasn't all that special unmodded & it was the best 3D Platformer Sonic got in the 2010s just because of how badly Sonic was failing during the 2010s. I'm frustrated that right when it seems the series is finally returning to quality we aren't physically getting it.

      Funny you should say that. I had a conversation with a friend of mine regarding what it would be like if Sonic was sold to another company...the question you then have to ask yourself is who would be the safest pick?
      Nintendo - Consistently good titles, but say goodbye to all your fan games, rom hacks and anything fan created. Oh, and having it priced at $50.00 forever.
      Capcom - Consistantly good titles, but a new game won't drop until like...50 years later. But hey! He may appear in the next Capcom clash or as a Blanka skin in Street Fighter.
      EA - Will release a game with 3 stages, then you need to pay for the other 8. Then you need to pay more for the special stage DLC, followed by another payment to unlock Super Sonic after getting the chaos emeralds. And $20.00 for each additional character.
      The conversation pretty much went along the lines like that.

    • @2elusivereviews
      @2elusivereviews  Год назад +10

      I would agree with this if it wasn't for a few notable things...
      The Persona series (3 to 5) is made by a different team and published by Atlus. Sega owns the rights to them and that is pretty much it. As far as influences go, its mostly on Atlus who shot calls everything regarding those games.
      Phantasy Star did not get good until the third and fourth entry on the genesis, laid dormant until its MMO came out, kept PSO2 in a cage for YEARS in Japan, had a VERY rocky launch when it hit state side, and both PSO2 and NGS has been off to an awful start, NGS having it way worst than base PSO2. It was not until VERY recently, the game has been getting better because Sega finally took the time to give the game a good chunk of features it was severely lacking. (Free players were very limited on what they can do, content updates were slow and lacking horribly, some classes were terrible, no concerts, I can go on, but thankfully they did fix it way later.) But up until that point, it was doing pretty bad. Oh, and lets not forget how long it took em to get the games over to the PS4, when it's been readily available for the PS4 AND the Switch over in Japan too. (At least base PSO2 is on switch.)
      Then there's the Yakuza series which is being developed by Ryu-ga Studios. Sega only publishes the games and had been consistently good due to the fact that it has a dedicated team. If it were not for the fact that Ryu-ga Studios had been the ones behind making these titles, knowing Sega, they wouldn't put nearly as many Yakuza titles out there as they are now. They'd end up in the Sega graveyard where the rest of their IPs never see the light of day again.

      Dude, corporate Sega is Sonic’s worst enemy, they pushed Sonic 3 and forced it to be split for a Mc Donalds toy deal, they rushed Heroes to get a new game out after Adventure 2 Battle’s success, they’re the ones who split Sonic Team in half for both 06 and Secret Rings, they’re the ones who pushed Big Red Button onto the Wii U for Boom when it was never gonna work, we can keep going if we want, Sega just seemingly has a record of chasing easy money for Sonic, meanwhile their other franchises are untouched mainly because they have more room to stretch around but with Sonic being Sega’s main money source, they just don’t care and have showcased it multiple times…

      It'd be like if the boost era started by Sega removing momentum and the homing attack, purging the musical style, and rebranding the logo and everything else with a Thunder Force aesthetic while cutting the budget for everything except for the world size down to 5% of what it was before

They've done that with Boom, done that with Origins, and did it again with the Colors Remake. Then they also half-baked Forces. All which are pretty recent titles by the way.

    My only problem with the game is that it doesn't seem like Sega intends to actually release it this year. My Switch doesn't have room for full game Downloads anymore & Origins took the same Digital Exclusive route with an absurd chart. As for this video 3K was dethroned within 5 Years of its release by Sonic Adventure which then was forced to share its throne for best Sonic Game with its 2001 sequel. 3K may be king of 2D Sonic, although 3D offered another dimension entirely.

    • @2elusivereviews
      @2elusivereviews  Год назад

      Mmmm...I wouldn't go so far to say it was dethroned by Adventure. I love that game to death, but Adventure has its share of issues that prevents it from claiming the throne outright, same for SA2. I won't get too far into the details here, but to sum it up, it basically has to do with the fact that there are some aspect of the game that are not the greatest thing to play through, like Amy's section being a less fluid Mario 64 if he had a chaser mechanic. If there's any game that came absolutely close to doing it, its Mania.

    I want sonic to be good again but I have no hope in frontiers;the fact sonic has to “clean his image” yet again is tiring and I’m tired of most of his games being mediocre or bad.
    Around the time of gens I could call myself a fan but I can’t really say that anymore when most of the games that have released since have not been good.
    Frontiers has yet to show something that feels exciting and interesting imo all the open world areas look bland and generic (same with the enemies), re used level designs,theme and worse “boost” gameplay and outside of those without momentum there’s not much to play around with when it comes to sonic’s speed in an open playground.
    I don’t think this will be 06 or BOOM bad but I do think it will be mediocre like forces,lost world and to a lesser extent colors (colors is great for everything but gameplay,level design and story)
    Idk I feel burned and wish sonic could just be like Mario in that even at his worst a Mario game is generic, too safe but is still a fun time. I don’t want sonic to be like Mario but I want him to be consistently good-great with his games instead of being mid/bad a lot of the time.
    I hate that sonic is often copying what made others succeed and trend chasing which is another reason I’m not too positively frontiers.
    (Sorry for the long cringy rant I’m just tired of sonic pretty much only being consistently good outside of games I just wish the games were good too)

I've spoke with plenty of peeps who are burned out of Sonic for the reasons you listed above, so I completely understand. With me personally, Frontiers is going to be one of two things...it's either going to be something that will blow my expectations out of the water which is what I'm hoping for, or it will be a "meh" title, or a buggy mess...Okay, that was three things. I'm overall going to keep my expectations low and see where it gets us when the game is out. Know that when I play it and do an update video on the game itself, I'm not leaving a stone unturned and hope for the best.

    I am going to not get your hopes up and give you a summary of frontier's reputation right now. It looks like it will succeed, the public audience loves it, and the actual sonic fans think its more positive than negative, but it is like a 65-35 compared to the usual 80-20. So if you do play it, tread lightly. It is by no means a perfect game, BUT reviewers and casual audience alike seem to enjoy it. Overall rating from both so far averages to a 60-70% rating, so lets all play the game and be modest and not accidentally overhype it.

      The real problem was the Just Sonic Mentality that started plaguing the series 15 Years Ago. Silver & Blaze are examples of the excellent cast of characters that the Sonic Series was known for before JSM took over the series. You're talking to someone who was frustrated by Colors & Generations only letting you play as Sonic. The fans of the characters were betrayed hard to please the minority who wanted Just Sonic & at this point it has been the new normal for half the series existence. Maybe someday we'll get lucky the same way we got unlucky with this series. Blaze deserved her own games.

      As I said, Mania definately came close.

The same is also said with Generations. Both are amazing games, don't get me wrong, but they don't quite push the envelope like 3K and in the case of the 3D titles, Unleashed. I'd elaborate further, but that's an entire essay in it of itself.

It was so bad, they had to come out on Twitter and clear their name and explain why Origins was released at such a lack luster state.
      As people have pointed out before, Sega is Sonic's worst enemy right now. The games we've gotten so far could have turned out waaaaaaaay better if Sega would just ease up on the reigns when it comes to creativity, stop sticking to unrealistic deadlines and allow the devs to properly cook their games so we can consistently get good titles.
