What Frontiers' Success Means for Sonic's Future
Synopsis:
First it was "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" breaking records for any and all video game movies at the box office (even topping Pokemon's "Detective Pikachu domestically"), with it being only a matter of time before the same great treatment would befall 2022's Sonic game, Sonic Frontiers. And it did not take very long to do so.
Sonic Frontiers has done almost everything SEGA could have hoped for when it comes to its financial earnings. Being the fastest selling Sonic game in decades, topping the charts in Japan (a prime target for SEGA in an effort to revitalize interest in the IP in that country), and garnering the most attention from news outlets and non-Sonic fans for a title in a very long time (perhaps even as far back as Generations or dare be it, '06).
And while that is orgasmic to Sonic fans' ears, one needs to now ask, what does this mean for the franchise's future, and what sort of things are now potentially possible for Sonic Team and SEGA now that the huge risk they were placing on this game has paid off in spades? Well, that's what the video is for silly. Can't be spoiling the entirety of the video in the description now, can I? I mean, I could but, that wouldn't be very smart of me considering...just watch the video alright!?

Why Sonic's TGA Loss Is Better Than You Think
มุมมอง 23Kปีที่แล้ว
Synopsis: The Game Awards, aka, a gamer's Christmas when it comes to new game announcements, had Sonic fans' eyes glued to it. However, it was not due to a possible new game being unveiled (I mean, Frontiers came out just a month ago after a 5 year wait in between mainline games, so ofc not), but because to see the results of the war that had been waged between it and the Genshin Impact communi...

Whether you grew up with the freedom fighters, Sonic Says, the musical sibling trio, Chris Thorndick's constant whining, or Stick's government conspiracy theories, there is something that makes each one of the blue blur's many shows special, even if they all ...
RANKING the Villains of Sonic the Hedgehog
มุมมอง 118Kปีที่แล้ว
Synopsis: 31 years of Sonic. 31 years. Throughout this time, there has been many loops ran across, an uncountable number of rings collected, seven emeralds obtained more times than one can be bothered to keep track of, and with it, a large plethora of villains bested, all by the iconic blue blur. But with every adversary defeated, a mark is left on the franchise in terms of gameplay, plot, tone...
Why Sonic Riders X Deserves Your Attention
มุมมอง 5Kปีที่แล้ว
Synopsis: As a starfish of unattainable IQ once said: "the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma". However, one thing that will forever be clear is my never-ending love for the Sonic Riders subseries. Through its unique style, fast paced racing that offered much more depth than one would expect in typical kart racers, and, of course (like with most Sonic games), one hell of an amazing sou...

Synopsis: Previously, in my "The Sonic Games That Need Remakes/Remasters" video, I covered just about every major Sonic game from the Adventure era onwards...so long as they were on consoles. In a poor slip (or many slips) of judgement, I fail to give any sort of recognition to the many handheld games that our Sonic has had, which in all honesty is blasphemous, considering just how many gems ha...

The Tragedy of Sonic the Hedgehog 4

Synopsis: Sonic games have gone through all sorts of phases and periods throughout the blue blur's history, especially when it comes to spinoffs.

Their major play at c...
The Importance of Game Cinematics / Trailers
มุมมอง 3822 ปีที่แล้ว
Synopsis: Video game cinematics have been somewhat of a curse in recent times. Nowadays, game companies use it to substitute the need of showing off gameplay or delving into the player experience, sometimes for what feels like forever. But it doesn't have to be this way. Game cinematics (whether used for trailers or in game) have an extreme importance and are able to do things that can't be rep...
Sonic Frontiers is Really Starting to Worry Me...

However, despite being far from a complete product, it is not very far from release, with...
That Time Sonic Became a Police Officer

Synopsis: The Sonic franchise has been through the ringer and the ropes when it comes to dipping its toes into other genres and types of games.

Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car is unusual not only due to its conte...
Why Infinite Fails as a Sonic Villian

From the inclusion of the Wisps for the fourth time, relying on Classic Sonic yet again (which panned out terribly), and the overall writing of the meta era...just being the writing of the meta era, Sonic Forces left a sour taste in fans' mouths of what were supposed to be a game to celebrate So...

    My ranking of every villian F Teir: Lyric Never even played it but i feel like no one will disagree Zavok We all know why hes here D Teir: Biolozard It has good relation to shadow but its not really a main villian, it just kinda shows up Just putting the story book villians here since idk much about then, sorry Time eater Another monster of the weak, but this one doesnt feel near as impactful C Teir: Fang Fangs basically just a hired gun, and for what he is hes not bad, but not outstanding Dark gaia Another monster of the week, nothin special Eggman negative I dont know much about him but hes aight i guess B Teir: Knuckles Initially this would be A or S but origins ruins it for me The reason is, in the cutscene eggman says sonic and tails are trying to get the chaos emeralds AND rule over the flickys Yet you cant tell me knuckles never saw eggman putting flickys in badniks, or sonic saving said flickys Infinite Had the makings of a great character but kinda fell flat which is why hes not S The main thing i dont like is that his entire grudge is against shadow yet the whole time he just fights sonic A Teir: Metal Overlord Ima be honest i just dont care much for overlord, part if this is my bias against him being in shadow gens instead of infinite but honestly it feels overated to me S Teir: Eggman For obvious reasons Metal Sonic Its metal sonic, do i really need to explain? Its the perfect symbolism for nature vs machine Chaos Chaos is just another monster of the week, but it actually has a whole back story, and in the end it does end up fulfilling its purpose and destroying station square Alls well that ends well right? Shadow Shadows whole adventure throughout SA2 is just amazing, i cant really praise it enough Black doom Initially a C but thanks to shadow gens we can see how intricately he weaves himself into shadows past And hes the whole reason shadow learns to follow his own path Just like the song i am all of me says, shadow isnt a hero or a villian, hes just shadow Mephiles Best villian, change my mind Sage Easy S teir Theres so much i can rant about but the main reason is how sage humanizes eggman Honestly, play frontiers yourself Thanks to sage you will never see eggman the same again And after beating the main ending (nit the another story one) you will feel bad for this man who has tortured and attempted to kill sonic and his friends several times

    To be fair about the sun thing, Eggman had the real Phantom Ruby, so he could either render himself immune or disable the illusion before it gets him.

    Infinite has everything needed to be a good villain, save for backstory. I mean, Shadow calls him a little bitch and he acts like a teenage girl having a bad day over it? Hate to break it to him, but he really is just weak.

    Actually Eggman Nega is a lot more interesting than people think he is, for one his goals and his personality are the opposite of regular Eggman, one example being Eggman is very inpatient and rude, meanwhile Eggman Nega acts very polite and is extremely patient
