At least it ain't the latest final fantasy games where Square's outright Scared Stupid of compression.

Also I'm pretty sure I saw Generations-style Sky Sanctuary in there. Which is nice. But remember when Green Hill in a modern Sonic game was a treat?

Honestly, I don't care at this point that Green Hills is in this game. All I care about is if the gameplay is any good.

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

Green Hill in a "modern" Sonic game was never not a thing...

I just took a look at the Nintendo eShop, and Frontiers is 10.3 G Bs on the Switch.

So, Frontiers' large size on other platforms is likely a 4k textures rather than anything towards the open world zone structure.

I really like the design of the stage that's a... I think it's a highway? It's so busy, with so much interesting stuff going on in the background.

The reveal that it's not just an open world game but that the open world is - apparently going to have its own gameplay, but also transition into more traditional levels as well, is what I was hoping for. Basically it's a hub world, but it's a hub world that's very, very developed and is its own adventure.

Here's hoping its executed as well as it looks. If done well, it could be the best of both worlds from Breath of the Wild and something like Sonic Adventure 1 or the 3D Mario games. If done poorly... well... we all know what then.

David B Mitchell is reprising Knuckles from TSR

It was nice having Travis Willingham while it lasted

[up][up] Hmm, I don't remember Knuckles' lines in TSR, I wonder what that's going to sound like-

Oh.

Well, I guess Game! Knuckles' transition to "jock stereotype" is officially complete.

(Also, would Idris Elba technically count as the seventh?)

I have no reason to be worried about the game's financial success. Sonic is one of those franchises that tends to sell ludicrously well, and I don't know of a single mainline console game that sold poorly.

Looking it up, Forces sold 0.1 million (which, huh, that is rather low), and Sonic 06 sold 0.9 million.

Worst selling to best selling (in millions of copies) would be: Forces (0.1) Sonic Advance 3 (0.1) Sonic Rush (0.4) Sonic 4: Episode 2 (0.4) 06 (0.9) Lost World (0.9) Sonic Mania (1.0) Sonic Advance 2 (1.0) Sonic 4: Episode 1 (1.4) Sonic Advance (1.5) Shadow the Hedgehog (2.1) Sonic CD (2.1) Sonic Heroes (2.2) Sonic Unleashed (2.6) Sonic Colours (2.9) SA 2 (3.3) Generations (3.9) SA 1 (4.6) Sonic 3 & Knuckles (8.1) Sonic 2 (15.4) Sonic 1 (44)

The source seems to combine the alternate versions for Unleashed, Colours and Lost World, and it lacks Rush Adventure entirely. Also note that, due to older games being for sale for longer, they're logically going to have more sales than more recent entries.

The wiki I took this from, which has references for every number it provides

Sonic sells. And had a successful big time movie bagging its brand for this year.

Even if Frontiers turns out to be unremarkable (and everything points to that being the case), it'll still turn a decent profit.

Nope. The game just looks bland, that's about it. Not bad, not terrible. Just bland. A delay isn't gonna fix that.

The most 7/10 game ever.
