Sonic Frontiers’ marketing has been a rollercoaster
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
Sonic as a franchise is in a curious situation right now. When we look at the hedgehog’s popularity, it is definitely at a high-point thanks to the successful movie sequel that was recently in cinemas. However, when we talk about the actual games, some would argue it’s been a while since we saw a solid release from Sonic Team.
Sonic Frontiers is the next mainline game coming out and expectations are all over the place. Thanks to a weird first impression, people are already worried about it. Right now, however, things are getting progressively better, with new footage and information about the game constantly being revealed and giving some hope for us fans.
I discuss this rollercoaster of events in today’s video, sharing my opinions on the matter. Feel free to check it down below.

Sonic boss on fans and the future, says “Sonic Frontiers is that next step for the next 10 years”
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
According to Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka, Sonic Frontiers should almost be considered as the series’ “third generation”. Additionally, the title should be thought of as the “next step for the next 10 years.”
Iizuka shared these comments in an interview with GamesBeat. The site asked about Sonic fans and whether it can be scary showing off a new game. That led him to point out how the first generation of Sonic was classic with its side-scrolling gameplay, followed by modern gameplay starting with Sonic Adventure. SEGA is now thinking about the long-term future of the franchise, which is where Sonic Frontiers comes in.

SEGA not surprised by initial reaction to Sonic Frontiers, no plans for a delay
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
SEGA finally unveiled the first gameplay from Sonic Frontiers this month. Unfortunately, the fan reaction wasn’t too positive. Fans weren’t impressed with what was shown, which even resulted in #DelaySonicFrontiers trending on Twitter for a bit.
VGC recently was able to speak with Sonic Team studio head Takashi Iizuka, and asked about the reaction. Iizuka said that it wasn’t “that surprising” given how the open zone format is such a different take for the series, but feels players will get a better understanding once they try it out for themselves.
