Sonic Frontiers: World Premiere gameplay trailer



After teasing a first-look at Sonic Frontiers, IGN has revealed the world premiere gameplay showcase for the game. The 7-minute video sees Sonic traveling through an open world, sparsely decorated with things you'd expect to see in a Sonic game: rings, springs, and rails. There's a large tower ala typical other open world games, that Sonic can climb to the top of. There are puzzles to solve that can unlock new areas, as well. Sonic Frontiers will be out before the end of the year, with more gameplay scheduled to be shown next week.

Reminds me of the hidden test stages that were in SA1 and SA2.

If the debut video for this game was performed on a test stage then Sega massively stepped on the ball here.

Looks so clunky and empty. Haven't been a fan of Sonic games since the Gamecube to be honest so this style is not for me but I'm sure fans of the modern games will like this more than me.

Not really into open world games, and from what I've saw it just looks boring...but, I also don't want to watch this just because it's IGN.

Long time Sonic fan here, I go all the way back to the 90s (I'm old :cry:). I really don't think this gameplay style fits Sonic games... For these games I rather play Zelda, etc. I don't know, we will see but I'm a very cautiously optimistic about this one. One thing I'll say is I love his model in the game.

The world looks like a retarded minecraft creative server with crap floating everywhere.

I've never seen such a dull trailer in my life. Sonic absolutely does not work in open world and it's like this was a showcase for why. The entire point of sonic is that it's very nonstop. This game trailer was nothing but downtime.

I assume that isn't even Sonic the Hedgehog, looks to be his ancient cousin Barely-A-Jog the hedgehog.

Oh my that's a lot of crap floating everywhere in Green Hills Zone 3.


I better not mention Spring Yard Zone 1.

We know there more enemies and they clearly had a focus with this video. I'm sure they will share more things like combat and objectives later on.
exactly, there's still time, and people act as if just cause the game is releasing in 6 months tops there cant be any crazy change.

why would you use a dev map on your game first premier? lol do recall this game comes out in 6 months tops... so if they dont have some area finished already to record some gameplay what are they gonna do in 6 months?
because they want to show specific things??? this is a gameplay trailer, its doesn't HAVE to be in the main world, and they can change plenty in 6 months, this could be an older build.

who chooses a build that is old to showcase their game? lol and 6 months is nothing cosidering 2 of them are probably set for mass production, and with the track record of the sonic team to send unfinished games out of the door, this will just be another one imo.

Reminds me of people saying theres still 8 months left for pokemon legends arceus, for sure they will improve the graphics, and they didnt lol.

The game needs to be close to finished by now, and the last couple of months are for fixing bugs and crashes mostly, not for making worldbuilding or radical changes, or else they wont have time to fix the bugs before release.

this will either be delayed or sent off as is.

im not saying they will, and not saying it wont be bad, just saying they can change things drastically if they really tried, its not impossible for many changes to be made in a short amount of time, and people that are trying to rush and get gameplay out would choose a beta build, im not saying they definitely used a beta build, just that its possible.

Ugly and poor.
A realistic poor world.
It seems an elden ring mod!

Sega must understand that if they want to restore/renew/reabilitate sonic, they must ask to nintendo to collaborate with its teams. Only Nintendo can do it!

well i like it. Sonic has always been about meandering about and such. Where it would get cool is if they have a Tails copter flying around and fighting those boss ships but that would be something that's not this.

It makes sense if you look at it like this, all those stupid boost pads and loops and stuff are always there but sonic only needs to go through them once a game. this shows you the dull reality of Green Hill Zone when you have nothing to do at all. No timers no bad guys justs boosters and loops. And quite honestly i dont even recall seeing any loops in this video just him climbing a tower.
