Pretty sure if they wanted the higher voice, Roger could do it himself. Least, he did when I met him.

The Sonic voices usually seem to deepen/improve. Guess it's Roger's turn.

And the reveals keep coming! Now we got a new logo animation for Sonic Team!

...Might not be super-exciting, but after comparing other Sonic Team intros, it kinda beats them all.

how can sonic have an entire team dedicated to make games for it and it still takes so long for it to put on new games?

I don't really mind having recreations of classic stages again, but surely they can't ALL be ones that were already in Generations? (I am willing to give Radical Highway a slight pass, since it was only the 3 DS version).

I'm fine with only Sonic playable as long as the story goes back to being anime as fuck.

No no, that's much too elaborate. The DLC will be Yellow Sonic. Which is Sonic, but Yellow (but don't confused it for Super Sonic). Oh, and the shoes are green.

They still have a chip on their shoulder about people liking Shadow more than Sonic for 5 years, huh...

Just make your main character engaging, rather than neutering others.

Didn't Sonic Forces literally have DLC where you played as Shadow and fought the jackal that would eventually become Infinite, thus giving Infinite a personal connection and reason to hate Shadow, something that didn't come up at all in the main game, even though Infinite would have made a great rival to Shadow?

It was terrible and another reason to clown on Infinite, yes.

Having Shadow as a major character makes too much sense, so they had to nerf him.

Kocos have story relevance and sonic multiverse?

Regarding the multiverse thing, it's a bit of a misnomer, because Iizuka seems to be giving the impression that they're making the games, the IDW comic, and the upcoming Netflix show feel like they mesh into one big universe. And based on what Sonic Loreposting has been tweeting, it seems to mean the "Two Sonics" thing will be a thing of the past. (Part of me wants it to also mean modern interpretations of classic characters can feasibly happen a la the Archie comics, if not in the games themselves, then in the IDW series, but I'm not holding my breath on that...yet.)

Shadow is not in Frontiers, only Sonic is playable.

NGL I'm a bit grumpy about the latter, but it's not the end of the world. And yeah, I'm not really mad about the lack of Shadow here. It's literally not the first time it happened. (See Unleashed, Colors for the consoles, Lost World.) I doubt that he'd be able to contribute much to the plot anyway. (Plus, a part of me wonders if Sega is waiting on the Sonic 3 movie to see if it'd be ideal for them to change how they handle Shadow in the games.)

Multiple sets of Chaos Emeralds?

Hmm. Did the Sonic 2 movie inspire Sega to be more creative with their Chaos Emeralds lore?

Speaking of the Sonic movies, it looks like you'll be able to pull off the pulverizing pinball maneuver Movie Sonic did on Robotnik in the end of the first movie.

Frontiers gives me the impression of just wanting to focus on Sonic and his closest companions. And of fucking course, Shadow does not count as one. The fact Amy is the first mentioned rather than Tails is a change of pace I welcome.

And yeah, you're right on the money. It's why Prime and IDW are game centric rather than being its own weird thing. The movie so far is the only exception with the liberties it has.

As much as I'd like to see the Sonic Adventure-esque character levels come back, I'm both okay with just having Sonic (the guy I played these games for) and think people have gotten too expectant that other characters will take the stage.

Like Cream, I just don't see her coming back in a major way and its not really any future game's detriment that she isn't. Or Shadow, who granted could fit in well, but I'm fine with him not being here.

The main reason I'm slightly disappointed at the lack of Shadow (and apparently Metal Sonic) is that...you have a game with a partial focus on combat. Do you understand how you could have had the dopest rival battle ever in that case???

Imagine fighting Shadow/Metal Sonic and they got similar movesets to you and you have to figure out how to play around that.

If Sonic Frontiers succeeds they probably will refine the combat system in the next installment.
