#just. god. I watched the kingk 06 video that just dropped. it got me thinking

[luxrayz64]

thinking. about the things I love the most about sonic. and how those have all been almost absent since unleashed. and how obvious it is that sonic team has been fucking terrified of doing anything interesting with their games since. and just. god. god. please, please let sonic frontiers be good. please let it be what I want from this series. please let it be successful. please let it push sonic team to push sonic again. I love these games so much. I want them to be good so badly.

#I love the scale I love the over the top plots and giant eldritch bosses and the gods and aliens and the grandiose adventures #I love the characters I love playing as different characters I love seeing them all interact #I love exploring every nook and cranny of the levels I love finding hidden one ups and special stages and items #I love sonic the hedgehog so much. I want it to feel heartfelt the way it used to #colours and generations and lost world are all so bland. boom tried to be a reboot but it nuked the characters #(nevermind the games barely releasing given the development hell the team went through) #forces was a step in the right direction with its massive cast and massive plot and the villain team #but it fell short in so many ways #banking on nostalgia w ghz and chemical plant and classic sonics whole existence #weak level design and control carried over from colours #the plot falling short - shadow is never fought. chaos is never fought. infinite is kind of boring then dies. zavok is here #none of the supporting cast do anything but talk at you. tails gets his entire sa1 and 2 arc just undone #it could have been good. yknow? it could have been so much MORE. but it's not #the animation is stiff. the cutscenes look bad. everything about the climax of the game. no pre rendered cutscenes. #I need frontiers to be good. I need it to be good and I need it to have a soul. I need it to say something. #I need it to have a reason to exist. #just. god. I watched the kingk 06 video that just dropped. it got me thinking #please be good frontiers please please please be good #espeon cries
