It was beautiful on the wii, also had a stunning soundtrack. I always wanted to play dragons crown

you can pre order a copy on Amazon Japan. On twitter the publisher said early distributed copies will come with a soundtrack cd, amazon Japan does mention this when using google translate.

My question is, amazon have two versions available, one standard, and another amazon exclusive, that seems to come with pc and smartphone wallpapers, anyone know if both of these versions come with the CD?

will they fix the frame rate

remember the Nintendo seal of quality?

The biggest joke is that games journalists give this game 7 and above.

I think reviewers should be harsher on games that are technically poor to the point it ruins the functionality of a game.

How can the game score a 8 when you say it runs poorly in places.

that's like rating a car highly, even when the engine shows faults constantly or drives like trash.

we wonder why we have a patch-at-launch industry when reviews like this are basically endorsing broken games. there should be laws which prevent companies selling broken or half finished products. No other industry would allow this standard!

the gamecube could run this better.

did anyone play Xenoblade x on the Wii U? graphics were incredible. BOTW on switch was a Wii U port.

stop giving game freak a pass for incompetence

Cyberspace levels in frontiers didn’t bother me because I didn’t play previous sonic games that featured them, so they were quite fun

There are lots of good ideas in this game. I'd say strip out the RPG elements though- no levelling up, no skill trees.

Ive played 5 hours and im still not sure what type of game this is or the direction it's heading... maybe make the objective more clear, and without flashing the objectives on the screen constantly.

make it more sonicy... so far it feels literally like hyrule with some sonic themed mini-games scattered around

The game is not cutting edge by any measure, even on ps5 or x1 it looks average. Since we have xenoblade 3 with its sprawling landscapes filled with detail, I think it’s fair to say frontiers could look equal to the ps5 version- yes! Equal!

But the problem is sega and the poor effort in optimising the game for switch. This was predicted though, heck, they didn’t even do a good job with sonic colours on switch, a damn wii game from a decade ago- frontiers didn’t stand a chance.

And they have the bare faced cheek, the audacity to suggest a retail price of £60 for switch

I have only played an hour or so but I wish they made it more... Sonicy. When I look back on sonic adventure, the game was bursting with light and joy, it was so alive. This game is so subdued, moody even. who wants a depressed sonic?

Maybe later stages are more what we are accustomed to in a sonic world, but I would like sonic to bring that light. There are so many glum and gloomy games already. Maybe they wanted it to appeal to a more mature audience

I changed my mind on the game based on performance, game looks bad. There was a part where the clipping was preventing you jump a 3 ft fence while riding that Pokémon, when the Pokémon can jump at least 8 ft. It’s little details like that which make the game poor

I had another look at the ps5 and 1X gameplay and honestly, the game looks muddy on those consoles too. The switch game was always going to look poor when the flagship consoles don't look that much better.

on the subject of sonic adventure 1 v 2, I agree 2 was a step down from the first. It was stripped back and more 'on rails' than the first. 1 was actually a very good/ambitious attempt at a 3D sonic.

Reviews are flawed, remember cyberpunk, some reviews stated it was a broken mess but still scored it 8 and above.

Sometimes you just need to try the game yourself

Sonic in 3D is a concept that hasn’t successfully been achieved in my opinion. How can you recreate an authentic sonic experience in 3D? Creating a 3D environment for you to explore, then putting speed rails everywhere to give you the loop the loop is not convincing.

Maybe sonic just needs to be a 2D game. Or at least 2.5D.

Maybe the real problem is sega. I would love Nintendo making a sonic game

The switch version needs more polish, just blurry, muddy, fuzzy, washed out graphics. The presentation in general is very basic and lacking character - the HUD is simply crap.

There is a good fun game behind these problems though

Arceus legends presentation is rough around the edges but the game is solid and enjoyable. It just lacks polish.

From what I’ve played of frontiers, the presentation severely lacks the sonic style, for example the HUD icons/graphics- I don’t like it at all

@FatWormBlowsASparky

Ha I didn’t know that. All I know is they used to be gamecentral

I purchased based on this review

https://metro.co.uk/2022/11/07/sonic-frontiers-review-breaking-the-cycle-of-failure-17711708/

I predicted the game would be terrible but bought the game anyway because it had a great review on another site I respect reviews from. I have played an hour or so and the gameplay is quite fun, the graphics are really awful though, I spent a lot of my time playing with the tv brightness/contrast/sharpness trying to improve the image but it’s just so bad.

And to think I had comments removed for predicting this

the switch version looks better

does anyone know why this game retails at £50. Jesus Christ its expensive

the review will come when the game is already in players hands and thus too late to realise its a bad game. I mean, have you watched the leaked gameplay? geez, very poor performance on switch.

chuchu rocket 2

Nintendo are being stingy and greedy at the same time

open a door

place Wii U against the door to hold the door open

walk away

It’s going to be the worst sonic game ever made

so glad they sold this for £29.99. I was expecting it to be a lot more

I got charged £0.00 but I assume that’s just because it’s a pre order, Nintendo will charge the card on dispatch edit card has now been charged

I got one minutes after it went live

all that love and passion for the franchise and Nintendo will probably send him a cease and desist legal notice

Didn’t even know this was coming… anyone know where I can get it?

I hate the way 3d sonic moves. In Mario 64, you had complete control of Mario, you could tilt the control stick very slightly and Mario would tip-toe, you run then pull in the opposite direction, and Mario does a skidding turn etc, complete control.

Sonic in 3d is jarring- try to make him walk or jog and the floor beneath his feet moves twice as fast as his legs are moving, he steers like a 18 wheeler lorry when running at full speed etc its tragic that they find this acceptable from sonic adventure to colours its the same experience.

From what I have seen of this new game, it doesn't look much better. they think putting speed rails everywhere solves the problem of a fluid moving sonic in an open space- I'm not convinced.

ocarina of time

Physical please

they should remake the original game

ruined by speculation because you then start to have expectations. I expected Zelda windwaker and twilight princess ports, I expected Metroid. we had loads of articles about strong sources confirming these rumours. then no announcements.

there were a few good announcements and surprises though

physical release pleeeeeeeeeeeease

Pandoras tower remaster

looking forward to announcements of

wave wave 64 HD physical release

F zero x HD

wind waker hd and twilight princess HD

Metroid prime trilogy

Xenoblade X

Baten Kaitos HD

Silent hill remaster switch exclusive

metal gear solid: twin snakes remaster switch exclusive

eternal darkness remaster

goldeneye 007 HD switch exclusive

Cup Head physical

Nintendo produced sonic the hedgehog title

announcement that Nintendo has purchased back Rare

But where is the special edition

Who wouldn’t want either of those games portable?

Just port the twin snakes GameCube game to switch, up the res and I’d be happy

The original has more character. The remake looks so bland. The original had warmth and lighting (or at least the illusion of it) giving the world a sense of life

The remake looks lifeless

Xenoblade 2 was so bloody annoying with its “tide” thing. The segregated areas was a pain too. Made navigation annoying.

Xenoblade 1 and X were a joy to play

@AndyMK84 buying the CE contents separate is fine on eBay, but for Nintendo to be doing this is idiotic

CE sold separately.what a shambles of a launch. I think Nintendo took inspiration from ebay. I feel sorry for the devs and everyone involved in making the game

I really don't understand that special edition. why does it come with three covers, but only one game? that's totally bizarre
