Sonic Frontiers: Fans are calling for the title to be postponed

Sonic Frontiers (Plattformer) von Sega

The gameplay presentation of Sonic Frontiers caused frowns not only with colleague Matthias. Many fans of the blue hedgehog were not at all enthusiastic about the material shown.

Shortly after the first gameplay scenes of the upcoming open-world game flickered across screens worldwide, the hashtag #DelaySonicFrontiers was created by disappointed fans.

No momentum in the game world
According to the fans, the gameplay shown lacks momentum, the game world seems empty and uninspired. In addition, there was a lack of interaction between the main character and the game world, and animations that were generally stiff at the waist were also criticized. Of course, the numerous critics hope that their voices will be heard and have an effect similar to the moaning about the design of Sonic in his first cinematic adventure. Here, as is well known, the decision was made that “Ugly Sonic” would be completely revised, the look more adapted to its actual appearance.

IGN speaks up

The founder of the Sonic Stadium fansite and Global Publishing Director at IGN, Sven Joscelyne, sees no panacea in the demanded postponement of the game. He says: “#DelaySonicFrontiers won’t work because for me the main concern is the overall concept and gameplay approach; delaying to fix bugs and add content won’t fix that. SonicFrontiers seems like a hyper-realistic, combat-oriented Sonic game wanting to be something that takes a cue from the movies and leans more on Sonic’s athleticism than physics and impulse based gameplay, and that’s a good thing if that’s the goal, it’s just not the Sonic game I want for 2022.”
