    I think that the Frontiers jump shouldn't be that hard to fix without taking control from the player.
    I think that Sonic Team should bring back the short hop from Gens and Unleashed (the little jump that happens when you slightly press jump) but instead of making it like it’s either a short hop or a full jump they should make it where the longer you hold the jump Sonic loses more speed but gains more height and vice-versa, and make an animation with Sonic going from a short hop to the Spin Jump so the player can easily see when they should let go of the jump so they reach their destination, in this case Sonic doesn't lose speed immediately like Frontiers and isn't a nightmare to control like Forces.

    In Colours, the boost is used more as a burst of speed, and knowing when and where you need that burst of speed to get across platforms is quite interesting. Sonic's aerial momentum in Colours is so nice as well, the double jump tying things together as you find the best way to blitz across the level design.

    • @threecubed3
      @threecubed3 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      agreed. the control in frontiers is great in the open world but once you get into cyberspace it controlls so badly, million times worse than the previous boost games (not including forces because obviously). If they could do anything is to have the boost similar to colours as i am certain that there wont be a game that controls in boost as well as unleashed and generations. colours runs of a different physics engine and has just different physics but if they could extract the colours level of boost control at least to the cyberspace stages it would be almost a perfect game for me.

    My response that no one asked for about gens is that I agree to a point but unleashed was way too slippery at high speeds. You physically can not slow down quickly, and idk how you consider sonic's turn while boosting to be tight. The platforming sections were a bit jank, but so were unleashed's, and I don't want to come off as rude here, but it doesn't take much practice to become proficient in even those sections.

      Unleashed platforming barely existed but when it was did it was indeed pretty jank.

      Idk. I’ve always preferred unleashed controls favourably since I was younger. Even after revisiting the game when I was older, it just feels better to me. Yeah it was slippery but I’d take that any day over the tanky sonic we got in gens.
      When I first played gens I enjoyed it but it was so tanky, it felt so weird. There is a reason why people still want an unleashed port to PC despite there being a 1:1 recreation of all of the unleashed stages excluding Eggman land

      I don't see how they feel wrong, they're probably the best controls in a boost game. They feel responsive and fluent, a problem I have with Colors is that the base movement is janky and when you're at high speeds, you're extremely stiff and can barely turn. Sonic Unleashed is pretty good but I felt like you accelerated a bit too quickly and movement feels somewhat slippery, especially when you're platforming or trying to drift.

  • @synysterdawn8913
    @synysterdawn8913 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Honestly, the only issue I have with Sonic's control in Generations is when you have the power ups equipped that increase his acceleration and top speeds. Running around slowly in circles just isn't all that important in a game that's all about maintaining high speed forward momentum, and using those power ups makes him feel so slippery in that regard. And the jumps themselves aren't the problem, but the way the levels are designed around them. Every gap or raised platform is positioned in such a way that your jump has just enough height and/or distance to clear it, but nothing else, so you can't really take advantage of positioning or speed to make better jumps. Those yellow blocks in Chemical Plant shown at 3:12 are a perfect example of this. You just have to jump each block one at a time instead of being able to jump over multiple or clear the entire set through skillful play. It'll even sometimes look like you're just shy of making some extra progress with a jump, but it always ends in disappointment and having to repeat the same platforming challenges in the same way every time.

    my take on sonic in the boost formula is that sonic works better with open controls in an open area, but vice versa is also true
    sonic works in unleashed because the levels are built with sonic's stricter controls in mind, and the open zone of frontiers is the opposite of this
    personally, I don't like careening off the edge of the stage due to my controls being either too sensitive or tight (thanks, start of 1 - 2 )

      I would love to hear your response since it honestly opens up my mind to more information so take this as somewhat of a question but statement at the same time. If you ask me, I honestly think Unleashed is my favorite boost game since not only was it my first but the one I played the most, but in a completely unbiased term it's hard to say which is the best between Generations and Unleashed, I feel like some of the criticisms made towards Generations in this video were pretty biased, now yes he did make some good points like how the 2D platforming felt awkward and somewhat sluggish but then he makes statements like how the movement as a whole feels bad when that's kind of not true, the movement was practically one to one with Unleashed but expanded upon it like having a better drift and not to mention the level design supporting the fast paced gameplay of Gens. I still want to hear your opinion though and I promise to respect it even if I don't completely agree 👍

By that I mean he doesn't feel smooth to control, even down to how animations transition between each other make him feel clunky. He also bounces off walls on the side like a pinball, which is a pain in stages like sky sanctuary and crisis city.
      Now in Unleashed, this may not be that bad. But imagine if all the levels I Unleahed had the same focus on tight platforming as Dragon Road's third spinning platforming section. It would be hell. Yet that is how half the 3D sections in Gens work. Painful platforming.

It's really a small nitpick that people who have only played either game wouldn't really notice, but as someone who has extensively played both and does some animation of their own, It bothers me a bit, particularly because Unleashed got it all right.

    I never liked how Sonic controls felt in Generations. He was so heavy, hos acceleration was slow, the walking and running animations didn't sync with his actual speed so it felt like he was sliding in ice. Man, 3D controls really degraded from one game to another since Unleashed.
    But they had nailed Sonic's controls in 3D space in Lost World.

      True but it's not like Unleashed didn't have any problems either, The acceleration had the exact opposite problem and was way too quick. The drift felt off and the turning was pretty stiff, not to mention how hard it was to stop yourself.

      Exactly - the skills make a ton of difference.
      Personally, I feel that, while "controllable", Frontiers feels extremely unnatural. Like, Sonic can IMMEDIATELY turn in any direction no matter his speed, he can IMMEDIATELY stop at any moment if you let go of the left stick (which is very annoying, because in every other game he slowly decelerates, he only brakes if you push the stick in the opposite direction). It feels *way* too arcade-y.
      Generations with skills, on the other hand, feels "just right". Tight enough, controllable enough, on-the-rails enough, floaty enough, sharp enough, NATURAL ENOUGH. Especially his jump is the best it's ever been in the series, so, I don't know why they disliked the jump at all. To each their own, surely, but it's a significant hot take.

      Forces air boost was awesome! Truly one of the best things about that game. Yet, Sonic Team with their usual 180 turns, decided to scrap yet another good idea from a bad game.
      (With the "usual 180 turns" I mean how, after a bad game, they decide to scrap everything about it altogether. For example, Sonic 06 was a bad game but Shadow's story and character was perfect. After 06, they completely revamped Shadow into an unnecessary edgelord and he was ruined.)

    My main problem with the way Frontiers and Adventure both control is the sensitivity when at high speeds. Hitting some obstacles will kill your speed completely, and that was something the likes of Unleashed/Colors/Gens somewhat fixed by making Sonic more stiff at high speeds.
    Overall, I think they're getting closer to the best possible controls, but the Adventure games rule supreme in this regard so far imo

After that play it in Generations with the Unleashed Project on PC and you will see what I'm saying. Generations shits on Unleashed in terms of controls, the drift in Unleashed barely works, The stomp carries horizontal velocity in Unleashed which makes you dies if you decide to stomp at high speeds in a platforming section, the controls in Unleashed are wayyy to slippery, the person that complained in the video probably has a skill issue as it really shocked me when he compared if to Sonic Forces of all games and I'm not even sure he played his Generations with a "Skill set" like Speed Up, Blast off, Acceleration, Power Break etc which makes his controls even better.
