Sega is full speed ahead on Sonic Frontiers despite concerned fans asking for the game to be delayed. The past two weeks have seen multiple previews of Sonic’s first open world game (or "open zone", as Sega likes to call it) with trailers revealing combat against massive Shadow of the Co🦂lossus-style enemies, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:new Sonic abilities, and even 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an animated prologue.
However, fans have noted that Sonic Frontiers’ world 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:appears fairly empty 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:without any sense of momentum taking Sonic from one spot to the next. Some have even said that Sonic fan games look ꦐmore⛎ interesting than Sonic Frontiers.
In an interview with , Sonic Team studio head Takashi Iizuka said that Sega has been keeping track of fan reactions on social media, but that won’t be enough 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:to delay Sonic Frontiers. Not because Sega is ignoring fan opinions, but🌠 Iizuka thinks that fans really can’t criticize a game they haven’t played yet.
"If people come to Gamescom or Tokyo Game Show, [they can] get that hands-on experience to play the game and understand what the game is," said Iizuka. "Because right now we’re just kind of watching videos of people rea𓄧cting to what they believe the game to be."
As for what might delay Sonic Frontiers, Iizuka said the only thing that would delay the game at this point woulඣd be if the "development team all gets coronavirus."
That doesn’t mean Sega isn’t listening to fans. On the contrary--Sega has been p🉐laytesting Sonic Frontiers extensively, with most of that feedback being fairly positive.
"From our playtesting results we have been iterating, we have been listening to the comments that come back, but we’ve also been getting a lot of great feedback from people who rate the game and are like, ‘I had a lot of fun playing this game, I’d give it like an 80 or 90 point score out of 100’," said Iizuka. "So we do feel that we’re getting to the point where this game ⛦is done, and people will like it, and we do want to get that game into our fans’ hands as soon as possible."
Our own Eric Switzer recently got to try a 30-minute demo of Sonic Frontiers, and he said it was "the best 3D Sonic game I’ve played in a decade." Read more about the first open-world Sonic game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in our preview here.
