The big open world of Sonic reveals a little bit. In a seven-minute video posted on IGN , Sonic Frontiers revealed the first elements of its gameplay. Between large expanses, exploration and occasional music. We can still see the usual bumpers, accelerators and rails that have long accompanied 3D episodes.
During these seven minutes, Sonic discovers the surroundings which give off two striking themes: verticality, and the impression of grandeur. The large display distance helps a lot on this point. The hedgehog thus encounters towers to climb, puzzles to solve or quite simply vast expanses to explore. The total lack of interface obviously helps, but the end result should still contain some of that feeling.
On the other hand, the artistic direction seems to lack a bit of life. The set is beautiful, realistic, but has a discrepancy with the whole universe of Sonic. No slightly flashy colors, a choice that may surprise you, especially since it is the antithesis of those taken by the latest films in the franchise. Films that have been hits at the box office, and allowing Sega's mascot to be at the top of the hype. Which hadn't happened to him for many years.
Will this title finally reconcile Sonic with 3D? Hard to say, since this presentation of gameplay for Sonic Frontiers was only very brief. And still leaves a lot of questions when it is due out this end of the year on all platforms. But the game is in the spotlight this month on IGN, and should have the right to other presentations. Especially during IGN Summer Gaming on Friday June 10.
