On one hand (especially since they will be adapting Maria), Shadow should be played seriously and therefore Wick voice is the way to go.

On the other hand, if Reaves went full Ted, Sonic 3 would automatically become the most enjoyable film of the year, especially if the film, including Shadow, is otherwise played completely straight.

Obviously, I don't expect the latter to happen, and would certainly prefer to former, but damn if surfer-dude Shadow wouldn't be amazing.

seemed rather lazy TBH. I would had cut to the end of the song after the chorus.

That said, I do have hope that song would appear in 3, but odds are likely the only song from the games that would be used would be Live and Learn.

Can't help but wonder if "Sweet Dreams Zone" would be the product of Cream's dream lol After all, Cream is all about sweets and desserts. And assuming this level takes place after Eggman is defeated and kicked out of the Reverie, it would make sense for the dreams of the other characters to shape the Reverie's landscape.

I've been trying to 100% Sonic Origins and Team Sonic Racing...

It is a fool's errand.

The Daredevil challenges in TSR are terrible. You have to drift past the red side of the posts for multipliers, but you can only get so close. I don't know how on Planet Wisp you're supposed to get platinum on those missions, but fortunately you don't have to get every star in the adventure mode to unlock everything. Just keys and Expert levels, which are also stupid hard.

But after the performance parts, everything else is just cosmetics.

Sonic Origins is easier to unlock everything. I just kept repeating Sonic 1's Boss Rush for coins.

The trick is to just load up a completed file and keep beating the final boss for 25 coins every time. ;p

Well, I especially loved when it switched to the rock concert part of the show. And A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup was a genuine fun surprise.

Other than that one, my favorite tracks they played were Live & Learn and Endless Possibility.

That's great. I love Frontiers as it is, but it could certainly be called rough around the edges. The gameplay and open world were both very good, but, with polish, tweaks and additions, they could service a masterful Sonic game.

Frontiers took the Lego style of a giant open-world map populated by nothing but obstacle courses to collect thingamabobs and level entrances to linear story maps, and showed it can work for non-Lego franchises too. I'm looking forward to seeing what new stuff they can bolt onto it with the sequel.

Alright. Now all they need to do is get to work fixing whatever issues Frontiers had.

Just keep improving that formula Sega. And soon you'll have something good.

[up] you make it sound as if sonic frontiers wasn't good, is like bashing sonic has been so normalized that people can't even admit anymore that a sonic game is good.

I've been hoping for a Frontiers like game with a more typical Sonic setting and plot - rather than being set in a more generic location completely removed from everything that typically resembles Sonic's world and theming - ever since the game came out.

Let us explore all of South Island, or, like, imagine a level like one of the Islands, but like all of it is Eggmanland. Just a huge Eggman-themed open world area with all sorts of interesting sublocations.

Off the top of my head I can name some issues that could use fixing:

-Restoring the Drift that randomly got phased out back in Forces

-Dealing with the severe popin of platforms and world elements so you can actually see these things up ahead in the distance

-For really large tower segments, add more pulleys to hoist you onto specific segments so that if you fall off, you don't have to do it all over from the ground
