Sonic Frontiers needs more time

okay so we have uh some new sonic frontiers gameplay focusing solely on combat that we're gonna look at right now but before we do let me just say that everything i said in my last two videos still stands but maybe this will move the needle in the opposite direction there were some cool movement options and i think the potential is there but from what we've seen i still think it needs work personally i think the way that sega is choosing to show off this game is interesting and if i'm wrong and this game actually turns out to be good i will be the first one to admit that i was wrong and to all those of you asking why i'm criticizing an unfinished product well because there's the timeline where we would have ended up with this however you're absolutely allowed to like what you see you can like whatever you want at the end of the day this really just is my opinion lastly thanks to all the new subs over the last week or so i really appreciate the support and if you're not subbed take a look around the channel and consider it if you see anything you like because i play a lot of different games here and this month i'm gonna be playing sonic origins and cuphead and some other stuff uh oh i'm also not gonna talk over the intro this time okay let's go ign first continues on with yet another look at sonic frontier's gameplay this time focusing on combat sonic is up against an all-new set of baddies some of which are among the most massive bosses we've ever seen in a sonic game fortunately sonic's got some new tricks up his sleeve make sure to stick with ign all throughout june because we've got a full hands-on preview and interviews from the developers in store for now though enjoy the combat of sonic frontiers so my wish here is that there are a lot of different options and it's not just mash x to win so the running like what i said about the running still stands he just i feel like there's no momentum or fluidity so you have homing attacks you have punches and kicks it looks like you can jump away there's dodging i don't know what that is but that's cool i don't know if there's going to be a meter or something because we don't really know what the hud looks like yet okay that was a dope kick [Music] and when you defeat an enemy it looks like you collect something i'm just my personal opinion here is these specific enemies they don't really they don't look like much but then again we don't really know the story of the game yet oh what is that that was cool [Music] here's the bird the birds back why is the bird faster than sonic oh look at this enemy [Music] okay so you have to okay so i like that it might not just be mesh x to win there are certain enemies where you have to do different things like this one has a shield that you have to lift up with whatever this ability is how long is this video anyway so about the same length about six minutes i can't wait to hear what the game sounds like with completed music and voice lines because i think that's what's giving it kind of a soulless fan game feel not to say that fan games are soulless but it feels like a fan game and it feels soulless the two aren't necessarily interchangeable we're seeing some pretty cool attacks though i like the cinematic attacks you have the sonic winds ability which uh looks like it comes straight out of sonic heroes i'm wondering if there's prompts that we're not seeing to press certain buttons i just i really like that someone mod that into smash give sonic a better final smash make that it [Music] again i like some of the movement options but what is that did you see that string or that line i don't know if that was intentional it's like when tanjro has to cut off a demon's head you think sonic's gonna slice some heads off oh right there we saw a pretty cool use of the dodge ability sonic was able to just kind of jump behind the enemy so we've seen a couple different enemies [Music] all of them kind of have the same theme they're very futuristic combat is kind of fast paced which i like oh here's the big enemy okay so sonic's gonna run up it it's gonna mega leg this thing sonic of the colossus here while there's a lot happening i do feel like it just it does seem a little bit mashy which i guess at the end of the day is okay it's not the worst thing in the world but i do also hope and i'm sure there will be progression based abilities or attacks that sonic can use i like the use of this ability oh that was cool so some of the combat actually rewards you for trying different things like using this ability to lift up this thing's leg and hit the bottom of the leg so it's not just hit one specific area of this giant enemy you know maybe you have to take the legs out you have to take out the uh the antennas on top i think there's potential here that animation though we gotta do something about that he does look a little out of place i don't know what it is and i've said this before i think the environment looks great okay so that's it so we saw sonic take out a few different enemies saw him take out the uh the large boss-like enemy i do want to see what the hud looks like to see if there's like any prompts or quick time events or things like i think sonic would benefit from a battle system like spider-man's having different button inputs and presses that you can do to do different moves but maybe that's what we're seeing and i just we don't know what it looks like yet this i will say made me feel a little bit better about the game i think some of this does look cool but it still looks rough my final opinion from what we've seen up to this point is that the game definitely needs more time and i hope it does see a delay until next year and they work on some of the animations they work on some of the movement and the physics but they're going to continue to show us things all month long so i guess we just have to continue to wait and see personally i think they should have just dropped a trailer that showcased more in a shorter amount of time but let me know what you think in the comments section please keep it civil and we'll see you next time you
