(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

    Idk if this is worse than that

    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.

The Next 3D Mario Is Ready To Go.

Image
  2024 is here, and after an insanely long six years of waiting, I'm now hearing that the next 3D Mario, set to launch with Nintendo's brand spankin' new console, was finished over the holiday season. This is standard Nintendo practice, many of their big games are done well before release. As was said before, this is EPD Tokyo's first full attempt at an open world game, and the game is said to look " Absolutely jaw-dropping". I can confirm a few other new things as well: Donkey Kong will appear in the game in some form. I'm unsure if he's playable, a boss, or an extended cameo of some sort. Given how Mario and DK have appeared as a pair in pretty much everything as of late, which includes the movie, LEGO sets, a remake of Mario Vs. DK, and now in theme park promotions, it only makes sense to continue that trend.  Luigi, Peach, Captain Toad and Pauline will all appear as well, though I'm unsure what roles they'll play in the game.  The other, mu...

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...
