    Im almost done with the game myself and i gotta say it was actually a pleasant experience for a switch port. Yes, it is really ugly at times, but being able to constantly hold 30fps instead of prioritizing graphics was actually the best decision. It's fun to play, and that's what I enjoyed about it the most!

  • @matthieud.1131
    @matthieud.1131 Před rokem +21

    The two biggest flaws for me (I'm about 3h in) are the assets loading/unloading (those flowers really get on my nerve, for instance), and the fact that some important things like platforms aren't loaded if you're too far. In Zelda Breath of the Wild you could climb somewhere, see something really far in the distance, and think "oh that looks interesting, I want to get there!". Here you just can't do that. Far in the distance is... nothing. Sometimes it's even worse than that, when you're like "I see this big thing here, how do I get on top, there doesn't seem to be anything around", and only when you get much closer you find that there is a ramp, or a platform.
    Overall, I'll continue playing it but I wouldn't be surprised if I find myself distracted by another game soon enough and put Sonic away without finishing it.

    The fact this is running on the Switch at 30 frames per second and looks comparable to the PS5 version is a true crowning achievement for the programmers. It's obvious and expected for it to run better on the PS5 with all that horsepower under the hood. I have both the Switch and the PS5 and I still bought it for the Switch given the fact that it's portable and I can take it anywhere! No regrets. Sure, I'm missing a few things here and there, but hey, I am not complaining!

    Can we talk about how there’s nothing to distinguish which character is talking lol? Apparently sonic will be having a conversation with an NPC and the dialogue for both sonic and said character, are both the same size and color font, with no avatar and no name or any way to indicate who’s talking lol. As far as the sound, I didn’t have any issues with the quality. I did find the music to be repetitive and I didn’t find it to be similar to breath of the wild. With my gameplay, it seems there was a soundtrack continually playing. The really cool thing though was that whenever you fight a boss it seemed like the music was an amped up version of said song. Or at least something that goes with it.

      @@ziggystardust156ok just in case im gonna say possible mild spoilers ahead, but ive kept this as vague as possible: theres actually quite a bit, there are challenges that help open up the map, these are quick puzzles of several types or a timed challenge of several types, there are platforming sections all over the place to complete, with varying length and difficulty, many different types of enemies to fight, multiple small ones and some open world bosses. Nice amount of enemy variety, some requiring certain techniques to take down(and the combat is hella fun). The huge open world bosses are awesome with several types per island all of them being vastly different from one another(and all pretty epic). And of course theres also finding the koco which are all over the place. Now the rewards for doing all this are all the same tho, its all resources for either upgrading, talking to friends to continue the story, unlocking a cyberspace level, or unlocking a chaos emerald. Also when you complete a challenge a rail shows up next to it that connect the different challenge areas togather(which is really fun once you complete all the challenges on a map cause then you get to zoom around the map with ease) and of course theres the cyberspace levels and fishing minigame(the fishing minigame is pretty addicting). i can go into more detail on the different types of challenges if you want.

      @@ziggystardust156 i cannot speak for other versions, ive only played it on switch, it runs well and looks ok. Typical switch graphic downgrade with some extra pop in, not only with the foliage but with some of the platforming structures in the sky. But as i said in my og comment nothing that takes away from the gameplay. For me id notice oh hey theres the pop in, then seconds later im fighting a group of bots or trying to complete a challenge or just zooming around and i forget about it. Though, if you dont care about having the game portable, and have access to another platform. Then i would recommend getting it on another platform cause it will look nicer. As for the style of the game, the open areas are nice neutral colored(tho to be fair i havent seen past the 3rd are yet so the later areas may be different) wide open areas with ruins sprinkled all over the place(most of which are integrated with platform sections to explore or with the map revealing challenges) and some eggmanish metallic platforms sprinkled in too. First area being lovely green fields with some trees, gray hills and mountains, and the second being a deserty area with many canyons and some dunes. Meanwhile cyberspace levels are much more your typical modern sonic levels, busy looking with the contantly moving cyberspace skybox and many different types of objects and platforms and things in each of the different level styles( green hills, chemical plant, etc) oh and the enemy design, ohhh boy. I love how they look, very angular and smooth. The boss designs in particular are really cool, in style AND game mechanics. Also cant believe i forgot to mention before that the movement feels NICE you get to adjust many aspects of the movement so you can finetune to just how you like it. There ya go, another essay my dude lol. Lemme know if you have any more questions!

      Why would you buy a triple A game digitally. This concept always mind boggles me. Even with10%, you probably paid $60-70 for a game that is permanently stuck digitally in your console, has absolutely zero retail value, and can basically be discontinued at any given time in the future.
      Even if you never plan on re-selling the game, I just can't fathom why people do this. At near full price, for what reason would you possibly not want to have the actual tangible form.
      Digital is for buying $5-10 indie games that are cute for 5 minutes of fun and nobody actually cares about *or* for games that unfortunately lack any physical release altogether.

      Digital is easier for me for a variety of reasons, including physical disability, handling small cartridges is a frustration I choose to avoid (think tremors, muscle spasms, etc. I’m more likely to drop a cartridge when trying to insert it into the Switch).
      Plus making backups exist, it’s possible to download games to the SD, copy or move the files to a hard drive so they can be easily swapped out without re-downloading. That’s how I have my Vita library and it’s worked brilliantly, even if USB cables can get fiddly.
      Then there’s PC gaming, hardly anything comes on physical media now and Steam is pretty much essential. All AAA games are expected to be there, and if not, they’re available for download elsewhere (such as Epic, GOG or their respective publisher’s store).
      Basically, you do you and enjoy your physical collection and I’ll accept that I need the convenience of digital downloads.

I’ve been having way more fun now without any big issues so far. Sure, it looks better elsewhere, but it works and that’s the most important.

    Here’s the good question I’ve always wondered. When you do the handheld mode do you use the original switch or oled cause I enjoy these reviews but it seems like your using the oled in handheld and if so, can you use the switch lite or original switch for the hand held tests?

    I have both the Switch and Steam Deck. It looks like Sonic Frontiers on Steam Deck plays great. Plus the good thing is that since it's on Steam, I can also play on my laptop which is capable of gaming. That's why I got a Steam Deck, I'll be getting 3rd party games on Steam like Sonic Frontiers so I can play either on Steam Deck or on my laptop. But I can see visually that Sonic Frontiers on Steam Deck has more details compared to the Switch version.

      @DulyDullahan Před rokem

      @@porgesomer so according to other reports, these problems are present across all versions including PC so it’s likely due to the game itself instead of the hardware it’s played on. After a bit of tinkering on the Deck, you can negate the flickering by setting FPS to 40 or 50 (some have found 40 to be more stable) but the rendering distance is still there regardless or workarounds. There’s also no way to get 60 FPS either.
      But TLDR; likely nothing to do with Linux or Windows but more to do with the game running poorly. Hope it gets patched soon.

    I’ve got a Switch copy coming from GameFly sometime soon (hopefully tomorrow). As you said, the downgrades are expected. The last 3D Sonic I played start-to-finish was Sonic Adventure 1 on the Dreamcast. I played about half-ish of Sonic Unleashed, but grew tired of the “werehog” levels and dropping through the floor in seemingly random ways in the regular Sonic levels. Sonic Generations was markedly better, but I don’t think I got to the end of that, either. Mostly I just care if Frontiers is fun and engaging.

    I think any of us Sonic Frontiers players on the switch can recall having to look up a tutorial for a particular scene and then seeing how neat the tutorialist’s graphics were; only to later realise they must’ve been playing on a PC or PS5.
    I’m glad they were able to adapt this game neatly enough onto the switch, but I hope the next nintendo switch compensates for the performance.
