All of this should have been in the game from the start with how barebones it is

The fact the director said this was basically a global play test says it all

Unfortunately the fans are already excited ... even though the base game is a boring uninspired mess.

Promising other playable characters is an easy win for them as they know fans want it sooo badly. I personally can't think of anything worse than running round as Knuckles in a bland open world, with zero real momentum, doing boring little puzzles while platforms pop in under my nose.

Oh I know

I’ve saw the Twitter / Facebook comments

And I don’t know who are worse Pokémon fans or Sonic fans

I guess Sonic since they did spam metacritic reviews with 10/10 before they even fully got into the game

lellkay1273d ago (Edited 1273d ago )

Pokemon games and their fans have been bad for years, but at least some of them turned on S&V.

I really thought after Forces that Sonic fans were going to start to demand more, but no... they were soooo hungry, sooo desperate for a win that they had already decided that Frontiers was their savior before long before it came out.

Initially though they couldn't hide their disapointement, the first gameplay shown was full of red flags... all the "sonic tubers" were visably disapointed, but despite next seeing more reused level themes, more reused level layouts, the most univentive non sonic puzzles, a huge emtpy void of a dead, bland open world, automation everywhere instead of any real momentum or physics, objects popping in, and all the staples of crappy 3D sonic camera issues that have plagued the series since the dreamcast .. they slowly just decided this was going to be good and there was nothing anyone could say to change it.

I'm still shocked the game reviewed anywhere near how it did, it definitely doesn't deserve a mid 70 metascore and I'm disapointed the fans have settled for mediocrity and are trying to praise it as if it's a genuine GOTY contender. I've legit seen sonic fans saying it should be in all the GOTY nominations, and that GOWR Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West are "overated."

Pain.

I think global Playtest comment was in reference to the new style of game going forward if it's recived positively that will become the template ongoing. If not they would go back to corridor based gameplay

No shit... I just got the VR SW game digitally because its crazy $$ for disc.

F.I.S.T. and Forespoken i still have sealed so now I wont have to unseal them.

PapaBop531d ago

New PSVR 2 owners are in for a treat. Tales from the Galaxy's Edge is amazing.

pwnmaster3000531d ago

Nice now I can see how truly bad forspoken was

MrBaskerville531d ago (Edited 531d ago )

The combat is good. But the open world is shit. Feels like a game where they had a good foundation but didn't know what to use it for.

Might be a hot take, but it's a lot like Sonic Frontiers. Good idea, but terrible use of open world.

andy85531d ago

It was good imo. Magic system and combat were very good. World traversal is some of the best I've played. Writing can be lacking but there's a lot of humour in it. I've always said this'll be a days gone situation where people only appreciate it when it's given away 'free'. The hate mostly seems to be from people who haven't even played it

Traecy531d ago (Edited 531d ago )

Totally agree with your comment. The gameplay was fun, the graphics are decent, the story is lacking but there is some humor. Most folks that were dissing the game didn't even play it.

MrNinosan531d ago

I actually liked Forspoken and had fun all the way til the Platinum trophy was achieved.

Christopher530d ago

So much unnecessary open world.

OldDuffer530d ago

I really liked it. Going in with low expectations, I was surprised to find a game I enjoyed. Traversal is a blast and I thought the combat was fun. The writing was a bit cringe in places, but I play games, it's a rare thing to get great writing and it didn't spoil it for me. I think plenty people will have more fun than they expect once they can try for free...but you need to get a couple of hours into it. If you can make it through that fud, your good!

There's a few in here I've wanted to try but not quite taken the plunge on.
I'm curious about Sonic, have wanted F.I.S.T. , Would try Coffee Talk and Phogs. Maybe even give WRC a try.
Pleased with this selection now.

TheNamelessOne531d ago

The Coffee Talk games are good. Wasn't a fan of FIST though.

monkey602531d ago

Shame to hear that. It's probably the one on this list I am most excited to play.

VivaLaManual531d ago

FIST is a very solid metroidvania.

gold_drake531d ago

forspoken haha.
but i might play it as long as its available.

ps2 classics are good.

Traecy531d ago

I played it back when it was first released, the gameplay is fun.
