The main complaints involved stiff animation, lack of movement from Sonic, and a mostly empty game world.🌙 Moon Hedgehog ⭐️@moon_hedgehogsYeah the game needs a delay. The combat looks great but the animations are awfully stiff and the lack of both speed and momentum is really noticeable #DelaySonicFrontiers397Yeah the game needs a delay. The combat looks great but the animations are awfully stiff and the lack of both speed and momentum is really noticeable #DelaySonicFrontiersFans have been waiting for years for news about a new Sonic title and many are ultimately disappointed at what they have seen. Other complaints include all of the dash panels into springs and automated movement. This was seen in previous Sonic games that weren’t warmly welcomed by the fanbase, such as Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic ‘06).Katlike-Moai@KatlikeMoaiParamount, IDW,Taxman / Headcanon and potentially netflix making sonic contentSEGA making Sonic content #DelaySonicFrontiers43775⬅️Paramount, IDW,Taxman / Headcanon and potentially netflix making sonic content➡️SEGA making Sonic content #DelaySonicFrontiers https://t.co/oACo7iw4KJThe Sonic fanbase has been burned by disappointing releases before, and are making their feelings well-known to the developers, in hopes that they will listen. SEGA has changed their minds before, such as the Sonic the Hedgehog film, with how appalling the original character design was.GamerToon (Proud Bad guys enjoyer)@skunk_toon#DelaySonicFrontiers If a one year delay was able to massively improve Halo infinite, I’m sure an extra year of development can improve Sonic Frontiers.9618#DelaySonicFrontiers If a one year delay was able to massively improve Halo infinite, I’m sure an extra year of development can improve Sonic Frontiers.Ti@RefreshingStarsTO BE CLEAR: I like what I see, but I am in no way opposed to a delay for Sonic Frontiers. It is my belief that if a delay can be afforded, they should jump at that chance.Customers who want a delay should voice their concerns and call for it.#DelaySonicFrontiers19641TO BE CLEAR: I like what I see, but I am in no way opposed to a delay for Sonic Frontiers.

Wtf. Dull environmental puzzles, metallic enemies with absolutely no personality that are tedious to beat with no payoff…Yikes from me @woodlandbuckle I think it needs to be reconceptualized.Sonic should not be in a generic tech demo environment. a Sonic game with mellow ambient music?

Another sentiment is that the game’s approach, as a vast, open-world experience, inspired by the movies is not the game fans wanted.Evan@MardiculousFans want to enjoy an increase in polished game offerings, like you enjoyed increased business offers and sales.It was a FAN that lead the movie redesign that helped you achieve that success.It's time to raise OUR bar. Not SEGA's.#DelaySonicFrontiers #SonicFrontiers824171Fans want to enjoy an increase in polished game offerings, like you enjoyed increased business offers and sales.It was a FAN that lead the movie redesign that helped you achieve that success.It's time to raise OUR bar.

Many have felt let down by recent releases in the franchise. After all, fan sentiment has changedd the film, and perhaps a similar sentiment can help create change in the upcoming Sonic Frontiers.Trent@woodlandbuckleI don't think HAS to be delayed.But I don't see any harm in it having a few more months in the oven. #DelaySonicFrontiers397I don't think HAS to be delayed.But I don't see any harm in it having a few more months in the oven. #DelaySonicFrontiersNot everyone is quite so doom-and-gloom though. Some think the game isn’t terrible, but a few more months of development may do it some good. There is no firm release date for Sonic Frontiers just yet, only that it is coming in Q4 2022/Winter 2022.The upcoming open-world platformer will feature Sonic the Hedgehog as he travels to the Starfall Islands and brings back a variety of familiar elements into the franchise’s first open-world title. The open-world style and scope has been compared to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in that the player explores a huge world and solves puzzles in order to unlock items.It will be combat-focused as well, where Sonic battles with robotic foes. It will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.SEGA, as a franchise, has not made a response to the fan outcry. Fans have continued to speak their mind about the game, and while not every fan is disappointed or angry, there are quite a few vocal fans that are upset.
