[up][up][up] If they fail, it's just business as usual for them. (I mean, the Sonic Cycle does exist for a reason.)

The game might actually even release earlier than November 8th elsewhere. Sonic games don’t usually release in Japan earlier than other places.

Narrator: "It didn't pay off"

Look, I'm glad Sega are showing some balls again. But their track record doesn't really warrant it? So if this gamble fails, they're gonna look like dumbasses.

Worse than that. Not only will they look like Dumbasses, but they'll probably assume the game itself is the problem and learn absolutely nothing.sad

Again with the pessimism? We only 2 and half months left, and it's been a year or two since the announcement. We still don't know much of the story even to make a proper judgment.

Saw the trailer. Definitely looks like Sonic Frontiers. But I do like the cutscenes and tone.

Looking at my Steam library, Frontiers' file size is on par with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Paladins, and...Team Sonic Racing? For the sake of comparison, Forces is 17gb.

Again with the pessimism?

Hey there. Welcome to the Sonic thread. Please leave your coat and hat on the rack by the door.

the story trailer

  • Unique and interesting enemies
  • A villain who actually seems like a threat
  • No sign of Eggman implying the game isn't all about him/some narrative restraint
  • Sonic looking like he's actually struggling
  • Sonic using attacks that are developed from his own super speed instead of some stupid gimmicky boosts/drill/rockets/werehog/aka crap he could already functionally do
  • The focus is on Sonic and not on other characters or a player avatar
  • Consistent tone of mystery and danger
  • A new location with some mystery elements behind it
  • Gripping music (but that's expected)

This game actually sounds like it might be good.

Not sure how I feel about Green Hill being in there but eh.

Yakuzu, is that happiness I sense?

Large GB means more content, spaces, levels, and stuff to do?

The Sonic community's gonna be feeling really hype right now. Can't wait to see all the Youtube videos tonight and tomorrow.

Appreciate Sonic's voice talents for more somber tones.

I actually liked this trailer, although I wished that they showed a bit more of the story. But at least this trailer is so much better than the original trailers. Anyway, I'm surprised with how Roger sounds in this trailer. He sounds very different from how he usually portrays Sonic as Sonic sounds way more serious here. I guess this game is going to have a major story shift from the earlier games.

I love animation, TV, movies, YOU NAME IT!

Jason Griffith also seemed to evolve his Sonic voice as time went on.

Can't wait to see all the Youtube videos tonight and tomorrow.

...ugh, on that note, the Sonic community is going to over-analyze and take all the fun right out of what is potentially a decent game.
