What Should A New Sonic RPG Be?

Takashi Iizuka has recently stated he'd like to work on a Sonic RPG at some point in the future, and I think it's a great idea! The perfect time for one is now, so let's discuss it! Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:18 - Sonic Chronicles 03:03 - New RPG Ideas 07:29 - Closing Thoughts
How Sega Rebuilt Sonic's Reputation

A lot of discussion has been held recently about the negative opinion towards everything Sonic-related online during the 2010s, but how did Sonic manage to break free of the era of pessimism and hate?

Why we Hate Concord and Love Astro Bot
มุมมอง 46K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
Sony's May 2024 State of Play was extremely divisive. The two biggest reveals have had polar opposite reactions: Concord has faced a lot of scrutiny, whilst Astro Bot is universally loved. Today we're discussing the reasons why the reception to them has been so different, and why Concord discussion is so negative compared to Astro Bot's.

What to HOPE for in Sonic x Shadow Generations!
มุมมอง 1.8K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
There's a lot of things to discuss about Sonic X Shadow Generations, and today I'm doing exactly that! Apologies this took so long to publish. If you have any thoughts of your own about the Generations remaster or the Shadow game, feel free to drop them down below in the comments!
I am hyped for Switch 2! Farewell Switch 1.
Its awesome that its backwards compatible too!
I am ridiculously hyped! I remember the Switch released on the same day as a Geography field trip at school and it's all I was talking about on the bus with my friend haha. Plenty of memories with Switch 1, and it's crazy to think that era has ended, but with that we get a brand new era and one where Nintendo have built an insane momentum of constant software releases throughout pretty much all of the Switch 1's lifespan, so I hope that continues with Switch 2!
First!
@@jwblack111 second
Aged perfectly 😭
@djhurt4005 I'm so glad Astro Bot is everything we were expecting it to be. Also still in disbelief i predicted Firewalk's closure, it's mental that studios closing after a failed launch is even something to predict. Hope the staff have found new jobs 🙏
Predicted it perfectly. Even the studio closure
@qawtaw1 ive seen the game has closed down but haven't heard anything of the studio yet Also huge shoutout to the 69 players that got the platinum lmao. Probably the rarest platinum trophy haha
@@lombaxmatt3894 I couldn't provide a source but I heard it somewhere. Even if they haven't closed it's almost certain they will. $200,000,000 fails aren't something a lot of companies can come back from
Woppa woppa woppa
Concord = woke 🏳️🌈 Astro chad = not woke 🗿
This video aged extremely well considering concord is dead
Finally, A game on the PS5 for me that I can't play on PC!
@lopeo2324 and tbh it feels like one that won't be ported either. It's too reliant on the Playstation brand to be on Steam, it would feel so wrong
Bro is Steve in 60 years
Astro Boy works offline. Concord required Internet. Astro Boy features good character design. Concord's characters feels souless.
@alvarochaves1999 you can actually play astro bot too...
"another souls-like". Good souls-likes are soooo rare, what are you talking about? Besides actual From Software games' there's only Wukong that came some-what close to Soulsborne games in terms of gameplay, and that's it. Literally ONE non From Software game that has decent (still not on From's level) quality. So yes please bring more souls-likes - there's always chance to have another good one
@BigChiken44 to be fsir, yeah that felt kind of reductive. The genre hasnt really opened up too much and any new attempt is gladly welcomed. I kinda needed another game to slot into that little montage, but it shouldn't have come at the expense of judging a game we know little about, and one that seems interesting too. No reason it shouldve been lumped in with something like the Until Dawn remaster for sure
The only good thing to xome out of this trailer was that meme
he truly is placing blocks and shi cus he's in furkin minecraft
He is steve
@redspindashx6324 just wait until the post-credit with herobrine...
I have an idea. What if Sonic gets another RPG title but as a tactical crossover of not only Sonic characters, but also characters from the other Sega game franchise in the roster called "Sonic & Sega All-Stars Chronicles"?
@heroboygamebase2286 that would be an amazing return for the All Stars series!

I watched Sonic X in 2020 and my wallet has never been the same
@_adrill i finished rewatching Sonic X last night haha, how did you find it?
Hopefully RGG's unannounced game is a sequel to Binary Domain, now that would be a surprise. As for Sonic rpg, to be fair, it's one of the least fitting genres for Sonic. Sonic is about being fast, while rpg's are the polar opposite, they are slow. Also, before delving into other genres, they should get his core genre nailed first. Both Superstars and Frontiers left a lot to be desired.
@snakey888 That is a fair point. Superstars especially felt so close to greatness but there are so many things holding it back. Im more willing to give Frontiers credit for creating a new gameplay style and having so much stuff in it, but Superstars is another 2D platformer, there's no reason there should be terrible bosses or mismatched Act counts, there are many near-perfect 2D Sonic platformers to me, and Superstars had no reason to lack behind I think a Sonic RPG could still work despite that, though it would bethe biggest hurdle. A top-down RPG wouldn't be the best choice, but tbh Frontiers already has RPG elements, the open-zone cpuld be adapted to be more of an actual world instead of a platforming buffet
the sonic ip was never bad. just...mishandled for awhile. true fans kept coming back in hopes that whoever was making the next sonic media really understood the character. while frontiers took a more lore heavy approach and respected the characters it had spent 30 years building, the comics and tv shows brought a younger audience into the series' attention and the movies brought an even wider audience in. each one being a great stepping point into the character and world of sonic. just getting to know sonic? well now we can reliably say watch the movies instead of a hodgepodge of different games a normal person would never put real time into investigating. want to know the world of sonic a bit better? introduce them to the comics that do a great job building and exploring our heroes in a variety of scenarios. want a deeper dive into our main characters or want to see what makes them special? play mania and frontiers. its never been easier to be a fan or to explain to everyone what made you a fan in the first place. i love it!
@gameboy3800 this is a great point yeah. It is so easy to say to someone "watch the movies as a starting point" because, whilst not super game accurate, it is a great entry into the franchise. And there are now plenty of great games to recommend for beginners - Colours Ult, SonicxShadow Generations, Mania, Origins, add in steam with SADX and SA2B too
I know it's off topic but you and I have the same chair 😂
@@Sagegabs no way haha, have you also had the chair since June 2021..?
My definitive sonic RPG would have the SA style of hub world, frontiers esc combat with some hint of mario and luigi with the role switching, item usage etc etc, and some Persona5 character into it, as in the GUI effects
Persona GUI effects are a must, they're just so flashy and fun to navigate menus with from what I've seen. I wouldn't mind Frontiers combat if it were upgraded upon massively (something more akin to the Werehog for example) but the Yakuza combat is so good, I would love it to be similar to that. Though if it were turn-based, yeah Mario & Luigi style would be awesome. Or even just Chronicles combat but actually balanced, and not tedious
I think games that also tried to fully utilize the PS5 hardware were Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Although I prefer more serious story-driven games, the charm, innocence and fun oozing from Astro Bot is infectious. Plus, it is a fun way of demonstrating the full capability of the PS5 with experience most can safely get into. Astro Bot's Playroom is also being used to casually say: "Oh yeah! If you like this, there is a full game you can get if you are interested!"
I watched the presentation during school because I was hoping that they had spider man 2 dlc and I just screamed of excitement when I saw the Astro bot trailer and everyone looked at me weird
Its reputation is still bad, the movies are fine though
Is it really rebuilt though? Superstars was a disappointment, Frontiers is nothing to write home about and Dream Team is apple exclusive. The films and series may be great, but Sonic's primary format are the games, and they're still struggling there.
Sonic's reputation was indeed in the trenches from the late 2000's, all the way through the 2010's. My own brother bullied me non-stop for liking Sonic. So throughout my highschool years, I felt as though I had to hide the fact that I was a Sonic fan the same way a drug dealer hides their stache of cocaine. Now, I feel happy that I can own the fact that I'm a Sonic fan and not have to hide it Although admittedly there are some of us, even if only a small percentage of the fan base, who can still feel the scars of the past whenever critics put out a review on a Sonic game, myself included
I REFUSE to look at ANY footage of that new “AstroBor” game. I pre-ordered it. Sony made “Little Big Planet”. So this new game is gonna definitely be 🔥
@HorseJoint wish they'd bring back LBP properly. I enjoyed Sackboy A Big Adventure a lot, and Astro's Playroom. Dreams unfortunately didn't quite hit the mark by not having multiplayer, I'm gutted the hype for that game fizzled out
@@lombaxmatt3894 “Dreams” actually grew on me, the more I ACTUALLY took time to play it. “LBP” sadly went out wit a Wimper, cause I also LOVED the older games. I wasn’t a fan of the games after “LBP2” honestly.
@HorseJoint i loved Dreams and playing the games people made, but what I loved about LBP is the community, being able to make and play things together. Dreams is very impressive, but LBP had the multiplayer and community aspect to it too LBP Vita is my favourite of the series to be honest, followed closely by LBP2. I still really like 3, I don't think it's *as* bad as it often gets made out to be but it is still an unpolished mess
Nice figurine collection btw
@pumpkintron8969 thank you! It's gotten a bit larger now, with the Heavy King, Metal Sonic 3.0 and Classic Knuckles. I just have no room on the wall now 😭
Astro Bot makes me wish I had a PS5. Praying there’s a PC port someday.
Ima be honest i feel lost world was just a way to display a new gameplay style
Also Astro smexy and has a big asstro
@michaelyanni6061 i didnt know astro thirsting was a thing but uh you learn something new every day?
Astrobot is the kind of game that I miss other "big" companies creating and not just Nintendo, the announcement of a full fledge Astro game has me very excited, it has the magic of Nintendo and on top of that uses the capabilities of strong hardware that can offer quality and graphics at the same time, of course Nintendo does magic with its consoles, but they haven't been purely powerful since the gamecube, so it's something interesting to see Sony doing. I'm tired of realistic games that want to be cinematic and all, but forget the main thing, which is being a game.
Because PlayStation players are salty there is one hero shooter when almost everything we have is single player.
And it's one which was dead on arrival.
Idk word in these gaming streets.... Concord is actually pretty damn good you probably should have waited on this one
@Jay_Walker92 Glad to hear the game is fun! This wasn't a statement on the game itself, but rather why the initial reveal wasn't so impressive, especially in contrast to Astro Bot
As a sonic fan since 2012, being a Sonic fan during that time was hard since anytime I tried to say about it, my schoolmates would just comment negatively about it and saying I'm weird. I'm thankful that now my schoolmates has see Sonic as something u can idolized for.
Episode 4 was one of the only enjoyable Knuckles episode, half of the eps were intolerably bad, haha
I don't like Episode 4 of the Knuckles Paramount+ series. I *LOVE* it!
There's no we it's you and incels in the Internet the state of gaming in on the gamers themselves being entitled little pricks
Lol it's incel to not want to buy a product that looks bland and saying your opinion on it.....get off the Internet for a while buddy
I'm not buying Concord, I am definitely buying Astro Bot, but I hate how you keep on making a fuss about the membership, like for the year it's $94 (CANADIAN), and you get 3 games every month and some dlcs and etc, so paying for online isn't a problem for me
@thesmallestbiggie2892 I agree that PS Plus is a good service, at least one of the free games per month is something I'm interested in The reason I mentioned it wasn't to criticise the service, but rather Concord's forced integration of it. Like I said, most PS users have a membership anyway, so it's not a huge deal. But when Concord's competitors don't require it (other popular online multiplayer games such as Fortnite, Warzone, but especially Overwatch 2 as it's the same genre) it just feels like another point that isn't helping the game. The best way to remedy this would be if Concord has free weekends every so often, so with or without Plus, people may try it out. But I imagine after a free weekend, those who don't have Plus won't suddenly want one because of it
Now all we need to do is see if Shadow Generations actually lives up to the hype. A make or break....
This is the Redemption Era of Sonic
Just needs some good games.
My nostalgia for Sonic X was what brought me back into the franchise. Coincidentally since Teen Titans Go! was mentioned, I slowly started to get back into watching olde cartoons from my childhood all thanks to these shows getting reboots in the 2010s. It all started with TMNT 2012 and getting back into watching TMNT 2003 and first time watching the 1987 series. Teen Titans Go! got me back into watching the 2003 version. Same with the Powerpuff Girls 2016 getting me back into watching the original and PPGZ. When I heard that there was a new Sonic TV show on boomerang called Sonic Boom, I automatically remembered Sonic X and went back to watching those shows including the DiC cartoons. By far, Sonic X and Sonic OVA to me felt like the definitive Sonic experience. Sonic OVA is kinda like the first Pokémon movie in how we see both Dr. Eggman and Giovanni controlling Mewtwo and Metal Sonic. For awhile I kinda saw the OVA as being an unofficial TV movie to go alongside Sonic X since back then it was a trend to turn cartoon shows in cartoon movies. Pokémon and Digimon had a bunch of that but Sonic X didn't, so why not? Nowadays I love how the movies are kind of like a live action version of Sonic X with Sonic and his friends in the human world (which personally, I don't mind human characters and wished they came back in the games). If the Sonic movies came out back in the 2000s, it would've fit perfectly with the setting that the games and TV shows were taking place back then and probably would often get categorized with other live action cartoon movie adaptations or superhero franchises at the time, since a lot of multimedia material were almost always trying to look like the movies. Overall, I love Sonic like I do with any other thing that I loved from my childhood.
I never lost hope in sonic i always believed sonic could come back and i am so happy thats what happened
Sonic Mania is my favorite game of all time. Great to see it was a big factor to the redemtion!
While I learned of sonic back when i was a little kid with shadow '05 it was actually Sonic Prime that got me into Sonic fr. Then the movies and I went back and went through all the games (I especially like SA2, Murder of Sonic, P-06, Unleashed, and Black Knight. So soso so hyped for Shadow Generations. Im getting ready to play Frontiers.
Such a chill and positive video
Videos like this would have more meaning if it wasn't made by a hardcore Sonic fan. "Reputation" is Sonic's image around the world compared to other franchises. A world where Sonic Frontiers is compared to better open world games. And noticeably half-assed. But a hardcore Sonic fanboy is always going to paint Sonic's reputation in a positive light. Ask the general gaming community about Sonic's current reputation for a broader response
For Sonic's reputation to be fully built, Sonic game discussion needs to have mainstream and casual gamers. So far, only hardcore Sonic fans take part in these discussions which puts everything Sonic game related on the niche side. The cartoons/movies are carrying the franchise. With that being said, if I deep TH-cam Sonic's "bad or dark' error, hardcore Sonic fans were still defending those games anyway. L
