(Updated: 06/12/22) Sonic Frontiers: It Gets Worse.



What's that? You want some more disappointment?


Someone in my comments kindly asked for another Frontiers scoop. Sure thing.


You know those fabled "Cyberspace Levels" you keep hearing about? I hope you guys liked Sonic Generations then, because all of the Cyberspace levels that are featured in Frontiers are from that game. There are no new level tropes, from what I gather.


Asset reuse and nostalgia pandering, woohoo! 


Update: 

I can't believe I have to even say this, but it needs to be reiterated. It's going to be the assets of the Generations levels that's being reused, not the full-on level maps themselves. It seems some people thought I literally meant the exact same levels, no, of course not. Hope that makes things more clear.


Hey, I didn't say the scoop would be good news, did I?

    Yknow, when I first heard about Cyberspace levels, I thought the levels were gonna have like a null space like look where they were all gonna be models with the same texture kinda

    That's not great or terrible... Just because they are using generations assets doesn't mean that they aren't slightly or significantly higher fidelity. They still use the generations green hill on promotional renders for stuff and that Steve Aoki concert. And I assume those assets made for render have better textures and polygons. Generations painted those old locations in a really great light. People who aren't sonic fans can be impressed by Gens running at a good frame rate and resolution. So, if we're getting Generations assets in higher quality, that can give Sonic Team the opportunity to focus solely on decent level design... Izuka already said that this was a test game for adventure 3... For better or worse. I'm honestly looking for a good time first. Lets see if these models surpass what we've got before, before we deny what good could come out of this... Pokemon fans have to deal with this too. Game devs might be lazy on one thing to focus on other aspects of the game. That's meeting quota. Blame the Corporation... Not the devs.

RE: Midori.

  Sigh. I hate this type of stuff. Genuinely. Drama is something that stresses me out. I'm simply sharing information here. I have no beef nor any rivalry with anyone else that does this type of thing.  I've been made aware of some tweets that were made by famous SEGA/Atlus Insider, Midori.  In it, she makes some bold claims, claiming that I know one of her sources and that me/and or my sources are one in the same, and/or that I've STOLEN information.  No genuine offense to Midori, but these claims are absolutely baseless and simply untrue.  If I were to make a guess, I would say that she just noticed the undeniable similarities in our information and just panicked.  I can confidently say with a hundred percent certainty: We DO NOT share sources.  I've obviously been in this game much longer than she has, and the things I have gotten right over the years speak for themselves.  Some things to make abundantly clear:  I have been hearing about a new Phantasy Star game FOR

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo
