Hey what time does the watch party start???
I like the PERSON(A)
Yeah remember his neo metal sonic form and metal overlord form from sonic heroes it would be cool if these forms made a reappearance in the future. 13:23
Frontiers 2 better have Sonic
Man, so true.
Nah its gonna have rookie as its main protagonist Source? Trust me guys
Dude, is that even a question? A Sonic game without Sonic is like Transformers without Optimus Prime- a complete nonsense.
@@Gamex-Frontiers R/woooosh
@@papyruscoolskeleton9543eh it would’ve been better if it were “r/ woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
Metal would be a cool come-back. It's been forever since we've seen the real Sonic.
lol
I would like to see metal comeback heck I would a playable metal not like sonic 4 ep2 or a boss but not just have metal race sonic and that’s it
@jordanwalker2109 Playable Metal Sonic would be dope beyond dope! I'd also settle for a boss with an actual role in the story and not just a drone. At that rate, Metal could be another race, but the race idea IS played out by now and a new fight would be appreciated.
I need my own game
@@Clasicneometalsonic I agree and bow before my new master!
By the way, I met Roger craig smith at an expo today and he told me that he was working on lines for sonic x shadow generations. Meaning he is either re-doing lines. Or have entirely brand new lines to go with the new shadow story
IF WE’RE GONNA GET BLAZE WE BETTER GET SILVER…HES MY BOY!
REEEEAAAAL!!!
It's No Use! - Silver
THIS IS TRUE, HE THE BOY, THE GUY, THE FELLA
Taaaaaaake this
Yo, when silver gonna be the main star, it's been forever 😭😭😭😭😭
"Finally I'll no longer be the only thing hung in my apartment" Famous last words by Raccoon man
*Blaze is my second favorite Sonic character* "Don't.....don't give me hope" But if Silver, Blaze, and Shadow were playable inna Frontiers sequel, thats a "shut up and take my rings" moment
Me too bro that's a dream moment right there for me
I'm calling it. The new Shadow campaign will bring back Mephiles and Doom to the story. Reborn and to be never killed off.
Mephiles doesn't exist, cope little edgelord.
Iblis was in Knuckles for a reason
WE NEED A SONIC RUSH REMAKE 👇
No more boost
@@shadowopsairman1583 What the heck you mean boost was literally introduced in the Rush series
man i love kishimoto, you can tell he cares about his fan base and sonic
My shot in the dark theory: a new threat has attacked the Sol Dimension and Blaze asks her trusted friends to help, which includes Silver, because obviously.
They should make the rail grinds and springs fit into the environment kinda how the rails in sa2 made sense, like their not floating other than final rush which makes more sense, and they look like each level theme like the vines are rails in green forest or how metal harbor has rails in ACTUAL rails and city escape and such, or how in radical highway you could rail on all sorts of things as long as their there even if it doesnt look like a rail, like the fences and such
yeah it allway bug me how those structure feel so danm unatural in frontier
i honestly still dont know how people can see the frontiers world design and praise it at all. looks like it was made in dreams for ps4
@@conwuzere a dreams game looks more natural than frontiers(sonic adventure dreams edition, its actually a genius game ngl and has adventure and boost in the same game somehow, and it feels great)
Incorrect. That would change the entire format of Sonic Frontiers.
@@raphaelst-hilaire3669 But,it IS unnatural
POSSIBILITY OF RETURN FOR INFINITE *AND* FOR MEPHILES????? YOU CAN'T JUST DROP THAT OH MY GOODDDDD
I mean, Shadow did fight both of them, so there's a non-zero chance BOTH will be in Sonic x Shadow Gens
@@BritBox777 Some people swear you can see Infinite's glitch effect in the Shadow Generations trailer. So, maybe.
Rumor has it that Takashi Iizuka's teeth moves further away by a millimeter every time an uncooked Sonic game is released.
I hope they add boost stages in between open zones for frontiers 2, I would love to have a level that transitions both opens zones
That will actually be cool instead of removing the boost in the open zone levels there's no boost but in the cyber space type levels you can use the boost that way both fans can be happy I could be wrong though
@Everything-rk2rk what I mean, is that instead of having a cutscenes when you go from one open zone to the other we get a cool boost level that transition both opens zones and maybe also explains why we loose the chaos emeralds between open zones.
@@bffcst oh my bad I was just imagining how the next sonic game will be that I didn't read the full comment plus I was just so excited for the next sonic game I love frontiers again dude sorry 😅
As much as I love Silver, I would rather have Blaze be in a game without him so she can develop without relying on him. I think it's important that both Silver and Blaze have a chance to showcase more individuality, especially since they will need to redevelop their 06 synergy anyway. Plus, a lot of people seem to be forgetting that iblis is technically still sealed away inside her 🤷♂️ she even remembers the events of 06 in Gens...
I wish they both were just one-off characters because it makes no sense for them to keep coming to Sonic’s timeline. 😭
@@zigzagintrusion i mean this in the nicest way possible because i know you mean well, but that is a horrible idea. Blaze and Silver individually add so much potential to sonic's world building, ESPECIALLY if Solaris actually IS from the sun and Blaze still has iblis sealed away in her.
@@emotion_deluxe I think they’re great characters (minus the way they’re doing my boy Silver dirty nowadays lol), but it just doesn’t make sense to me. I guess my comment was mainly directed at Silver tbh
@@zigzagintrusion silver's only had one major appearance and that was nearly 20 years ago so that makes sense tbh
@@zigzagintrusionblaze isnt from the future like 06 would suggest, she's just from an alternate universe and comes to sonic's verse when the sol emeralds lead her there (according to idw, which is canon).
12:26 does that actually mean anything? Saying “now we know that will happen sometime” seems like quite the stretch. And if they ever do they will most likely have to rewrite or let it fade into obscurity due to backlash, which would be a whole other problem. I don’t think anyone wants to see Sonic in a relationship for real, it gets messy baaaad, just look at 06 or pretty much the entirety of Archie, and I’m pretty sure Sega remembers all that quite well so I doubt they would want to touch that again. Having small fan service moments is one thing but to have the main character be in a relationship after 30yrs is something else, if they wanted to make any ship canon they should do something like Vector and Vanilla pretty much no one has a problem with that. Besides come on, we all know Vector would be a dope stepdad for Cream.
I agree. Small “fan service” if fine, but I don’t want Sonic to ever be in an official relationship, especially because I don’t trust SEGA to handle that properly LOL
I feel like one could animate Sonic Show as sonic telling the news and it would just work with how well your voice would work for sonic in general.
The first episode of the Knuckles Show is on KZhead and it's really good. I thoroughly enjoyed their characters here, nothing spectacular in terms of personalities but the fight scene in the latter half was pretty good. I mean they had to make human fighters look good somehow, it feels like Marvel choreography.
Amy was Sonic girlfriend the 1991 mangas proves that
Infinite and Memphis Tennessee both connected to Shadow, so I'd expect them in new Generations
Yeah but forces never happened before the events of generations lol
@@Neo6lur I dunno. It's a time travel plot. They could bring levels from the future too. Crisis City is from the future as well btw
@@user-vg1ic3hk3l good point
I’m kinda concerned if what Kishimoto is saying is actually going to happen. From what I understand Frontiers was the first game where he was vocal online with little to no evidence that he did this in the past.
Conspiracy theory: Aron Weber redefined how sega interacts with its fans through social media. Could he have also played a part in helping Kishimoto with responding to feedback?
I actually like seeing old environments in newer games (as long as they are past the Genesis era)
I’d be happy seeing HD versions of zones from genesis titles that haven’t been reimagined before. but ye generally just more variety in environments would be nice
If Kishimoto gives me a new game with Knothole characters, i legit will cry.
Ayo hold on a second, the level you're playing in the background is a genius idea. The crashed rubble of the egg fleet from heroes? Thats dope
So they consider open zone to be the third generation. Makes sense. I now see why Sonic X Shadow Generations is a thing. If the Shadow stages are going to be in Frontier's engine as some say, then that sort of would make the game a 3-generations-game, but in a more subtle way. Then again, I dunno how open Shadow's stages will really be.
Great coverage! I always notice the cool fan games playing in the background and they always look dope but I could never identify them. Which ones were in this video?
DId Sonic Advance 2 technically count as a boost game? Honestly, I absolutely loved the level design and mechanics of Sonic Advance 2 and wouldn't mind seeing something that combines the speed mechanics of Sonic Frontiers and Sonic Advance 2. Maybe something like, keep the character's default movement like it was in Sonic Frontiers where they move at a jog or a slow run, but then enter sprint mode by holding the sprint button that allows you to start building speed. While boosting around is fun, in terms of reach the finish line level design, having to earn max speed felt more satisfying.
I would say the "Sonic eras" are commenting on the mainline series strictly
This is a fantastic news video, thanks so much for compiling all of this information in an engaging way! If I may ask: what are the sonic fangames that are playing in the background? They look like so much fun and I'd like to try them out.
It would be cool to see Blaze playable again in a future Sonic game. Along with a bunch of other characters.
1:37 what in the actual fuck is that?!💀
I got so confused why you type that until I saw it
Ou yeah kishinoto got caught in 4k
I don’t know, but it made me respect Kishimoto even more
I can't tell if I respect him more or less for that
Bro should not of shown that fr
I just want Tangle and Whisper in a sonic game
They're in speed battle and dash but I'd like to see them in a console Sonic game honestly.
as soon as i saw the thumbnail, i got hyped for blaze
same
I would like to see iblis as the main villain of a silver or blaze led sonic game, in the way shadow had a game.
If sonic frontiers 2 come out as the next game in the series I have a feeling it will be called sonic dimensions and have not only a playable blaze like you said but her whole alternate dimension cast of characters will be playable too. Maybe even silver might join in on this one, one can only dream to use his full potential outside of project 06
I hope combat feels as good as Unleashed... and I hope both vertical and horizontal momentum feel right. ALSO as someone who S ranked every stage, I really want springs to reset arial movement options. I bet I'm not the only one who noticed how painful that issue was.
The greatest implement of custom avatars would be in a chao island game :3
I think the best takeaway from this video is that Kishimoto is interested in bringing back those forgotten characters. I would kill to see those characters again in the main canon.
0:50 That sound... I instantly recognized that from sound from Tarzan Freeride/Untamed, a PS2/GameCube game! Man, what simple sound can bring back memories? 🥲
If Iblis is a Titan, this might explain a few things and facts, including the connection between him and Solaris and Mephiles.
You don’t know how excited I am about Bark’s potential return 🗣
Omg he is literally my FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE FRANCHISE I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM AND RAY
@@imenemostefai8979 Yeah he's just so unique, alongside Chaos 0 too but I think we'll never see him (it ?) again
10:24 I think in order to make a compromise between boost lovers and fans of momentum, they should re-re-implement the Sonic CD Peelout mechanic in new modern titles as the boost mechanic: Hold down the boost button to charge out the peelout and then release when full charged to go at top speed. You'll essentially keep top speed for as long as you're as good at the game. I would love to see them do it cause I was disappointed my first time of playing Lost World when they added peelout.
I wonder if this new game might act as some sort of bridge from Superstars and Superstars 2 (or whatever they call it) while also being it's own sequel to Frontiers since hearing that Metal Sonic, Infinite, and even Mephiles of all villains are gonna return at some point in the near future. Not to mention that also indicates the return of the phantom ruby, which in my defense could bridge some of the gap of whatever the new sequel of Superstars is going to be while also acting as it's own sequ- Wait, wouldn't that hypothetically mean that it could be a multi-sequel game since Metal Sonic, Infinite, and Mephiles are going to make some kind of grand return sooner or later?! Now am I going over myself? I'll be honest: It's a little much. Might be going overboard on this one, but it's a possibility to consider at the very least. 🤔
Hm, very interesting News, makes me look forward to the future even more. Say, i wonder if Morio is aware of anything Fan-Made, like the Chaos Beasts or something?
Whatever game that is in the background during Sonic’s model, with all the Sonic’s racing, is so fucking cool
I had just chalked up the shorter spines as "Sonic needed to trim them down".
Imagine if they took inspiration from Ice Cap Zone in Sonic 3 or the snowboarding part of Sonic Adventure and made that one of the many special stages in the next game? Imagine if it had multiple types of special stages like those too! We could have what are essentially mini games in a bigger adventure. Sonic Adventure games had racing, pinball, slot machines, fishing, rail shooting, ect. The sky is the limit!
I want another sonic adventure 2 battle type game with all the sonic characters even from comics and racing in it with a good story
A 3d sonic rush that still keeps the style of the 1st game would go unfathomably hard As much as I love frontiers, its somber and quiet atmosphere makes me want something a little more fun and light hearted.
Improving 2d gameplay… Blaze the cat… Sonic Rush? Open Zone? AN OPEN ZONE SOL DIMENSION GAME
That sounds hype ngl
the random Korn playing in this vid is so funny lmfao
fun fact charmy bee & amy rose were the first comic characters to come to the games so it's possible that other comic book characters that sega owns could show up in the future. yea gotta fight for it to make it happen freedom fighters
How is that possible? We saw iblis got sealed within blaze the cat, how can he possibly be alive?
I hope some enemies are still one shottable in the future. The battle gameplay should still be fast or at least avoidable
As a gargantuan fan of metal sonic and bark the polar bear im frothing at the thought of them being playable
Isnt Sonic Team already made a good model for Sonic in Dream Team? Damn, look at his emotions!!!
They better give us a Frontiers 2 with Silver and Blaze. As for everything else said, I would love to see the Freedom Fighters again, but I'm worried they'd be ruined. Mighty and Ray could work, but you can't top their Archie incarnations. Lastly...Never give us Sonamy! Not only do I love Sonally, but I also don't think game Sonic needs a romance. That should be last on their list of story ideas.
If Metal Shows up In A frontiers Sequel. I Hope There's A gag where Every Time He Shows up, The Doom Music Kicks in, Takes The Phantom Ruby From Infinite, Bending all of Reality to his Will. Takes A Corrupted Chaos Emerald from Mephiles. Gaining Both Mephiles Powers amplified By Chaos Energy. All While Being In His Neo Form. Being More Difficult Than Sans In Meglovania.
Yes! Yes! More beat em up game mechanics please for Sonic
5:16 My mind as I heard about Blaze: *HELL YEEEEAAAAAAA*
10:36 THANK YOU… this boost crap has been the death of good sonic games. These game should play as slow as you want but as fast as you are good which is where the competitive time trials come in… you have to be freaking awesome to become fast enough to complete in time for the gold. That’s what made the 2D sonic superb. If you want to go fast… it’s not a one button auto play for you… you better not get hit, you better hit all those jumps, and pick the right path… I mean, c’mon
Regarding the Avatar, I think it would be a really cool idea to spin them off into their own subseries so that they can go on their own unique adventures without having to compete with Sonic for the role of main character. It could also be an opportunity to experiment around with playstyles and introduce new characters exclusive to this spinoff series.
I want in a huge City, where the rails are organicly included, he can run on a building, metro and co, with Bossfights (like a returning Infinite and other new villanes or forgotten/unused ideas (rocket metal return like a airbattle) + Inigo Cortez (as ester eg, Sonic calls him Antoines rivel like he once helped them against egman empire ?)) other ideas: a battle tournement like called battle tower where Sonic fights against Sterling/simular and his clone crations (Terrior return) a second dream game were Sonic and good Egman (pyjama/Dr. Bee) Team up against Thirteen (the sleep demon/monster) and at the end Eggman wakes up and say what a stupid dream and to go tottaly crazy a music game with Sonic the Hedgehog Band a Blaze and Silver game in her dimenson fighting Null (and his Shadow Zombie like army, + Johny as Blaze rival, Marine The Raccoon, Blaze Kingom + her full dimension in 3d (like the factory island), return of the pirates and Egman Nega (fixing his character ?, like wrong timetraveling with memory lost ? or just ignore it as everybody els))
I just hope that characters from the IDW comics show up in a mainstream game at some point.
What if, they do lean on the combat a bit more this time? Maybe we could get some kind of combat system borrowing from Sonic Heroes, where two characters can have a unique combo attack together.
14:54 not another team, dont dump arzest, naoto ohshima is in there and he can cook in when it comes to sonic’s design, and the animation in super stars look amazing too, i want him back in future games, maybe some modern ones too
I agree, hopefully they get the criticism and build a better sequel or something better than Superstars
@@AltKaxREALfr
6:06 yoo cool art. sally as kitana looks cold, espio is cold as ever and eggman looks mad goofy🤩
Acknowledgement of the knothole freedom fighters feels insane. I know I should just let my dreams die, but just imagine.
Blaze deserves better, she's an awesome female character and shown in 06, faster than the other characters and come on, the female players need some attention and a figure for the young girls, her Black Knight and/or Unleashed moment.
Its like he names every character in the franchise just to check reactions
9:29 there are rumors that both Mephillis and Infinite are gonna be bosses in Shadow's portion in Sonic X Shadow Generations!
Forces Hasn’t happened yet during generations though
@@Neo6lur We dont know where Shadow generations takes place cause they said that black doom is gonna be the villain for shadow generations and the time eater is not involved in shadow’s porción of the game I really hope it takes place after forces so we can get infinite as a boss as well!
this guy sounds a little TOO much like sonic... hearing him say "or i'll hang YOU up..." is scary
Yeah, I wouldn't mind Honey the Cat becoming a full on character in the franchise. After all, Senshion makes the best comics (COUGH).
Nice taste from Kishimoto 🔥The world needs more Blaze, period. Plus, we barely know diddly about the Sol world.
Preesh the constant coverage
YOOO IM IN A SONIC SHOW VIDEO!
I find it very interesting Kishimoto considers the Adventure games and the Boost games in the same generation. The two feel pretty different gameplay wise. I like both, though I think the Adventure style is more sustainable. It's hard to make levels long enough to justify the boost gameplay. It's likely the reason most boost games have a second gameplay style that's easier to develop. Even Colors, I believe, still had way more 2D sections than 3D.
I hope they include Sonic, tails, amy, and knuckles as playable characters, and it would be nice if all characters had different skins as well.
I could see the End being the remnant or rebirth of Solaris; which is still the most powerful entity in the games so far
I know it might be impossible but but bringing dark sonic in game..I would cry in happiness 🥹
What game is he playing at the end that looks cel shaded? Is that fan made?
Would be cool for a rush adventure 2, like them flying home sends them to blaze's dimension
1:37 heyyyyyyyyyyy
I would like to see quite a few changes in a potential Frontiers 2. First, an updated and more stilish design for the characters and better animations. Then a non-boost game, with maybe a bunch of special stages with Generations Boost-esque type. I’d like them to improve combat too. I’d like the setting being Blaze’s dimension, with a whole new world and lore to explore for a change. They could find a logical reason to let Sonic and some others to Blaze’s world. I’d like to have 3 or 4 main playable characters, being Sonic, Shadow, Blaze (and maybe Knuckles too). I know this might be unpopular, but let’s have a game without Eggman for a change. Let our heroes face a whole new threat, maybe some foes that threaten Blaze’s kingdom, maybe other elemental based characters related to Blaze. I know that robotic enemies are a staple for Sonic games, then maybe let’s have a threat like Eggman Nega and then some other magical foe. The title Frontiers 2 would fit very well
Shadow the hedgehog 2 would be a dream come true
The Credits of Frontiers 2 should list ALL THE FANS AND INTERNET PEOPLE who helped design the game!!!
Yeah remember his neo metal sonic form and metal overlord form from sonic heroes.imI think it would be cool to see these forms come back in the future 13:23
I am a simple man, so I only want three things from Sonic frontiers 2: 1. More playable time with Tails, Knuckles, amd Amy: I know a lot of people want more characters like Shadow and blaze, but I would rather be Master these three before we start throwing more into the mix 2. For the world/open zones to be more Sonic-y and less generic: the open zone concept would be a lot more fun if it were more like Sonic's world 3. The boss fights have to keep up the same level of spectacle that we got from the Titan fights, as well as give us cyber Sonic again
1:37 AYYO WHAT THE FU-
I want cream as a playable character and a tails villian arc. It ain't happening but I WANT IT.
What are those fangames u got in the background pls tell meeeee
10:47 spin dash was the boost… and I am fine with that
I am in desperate need of more Metal Sonic 😭
I'm not opposed to a 'dmc' style of combat when traversing large areas similar to sa2 and 06, but i think it should only be accessible to certain characters like knuckles, shadow, and espio. seeing as they're combat heavy characters. My main complaint with Frontiers is how it was trying to do a 'one size fits all' to the game entirely with exception of super sonic. Create certain styles, layouts, and behaviors in certain scenarios instead of letting everything melt together and be physically awkward (like the cyberspace levels and combat)
6:19 While Sonic Unleashed is my favorite Sonic game, I enjoyed the day stages a lot more than the night stages.
Pedro Pedro Pedro raccoon opening when?
10:24 what game is in the background footage here? it looks very pleasant
THE SIRI VOICE
I mean, they could do cyberspace fighting sections if they wanted
