SEGA talks about the voice cast for Sonic Frontiers and confirms who was speaking in the game's first proper trailer.
A new patch for Sonic Frontiers resolves the game's controversial difficulties and many other polarizing elements.
From GameWatcher: "Publisher Sega has lofty plans for its Sonic IP, aiming to develop it in such a way that it will "catch up and surpass Mario" in the future.
Sonic and Mario have always been competitors, but where Nintendo has managed to consistently stick the landing with its titles – even when stepping outside its comfort zone – Sega's output has often received a mixed reception from both fans and critics.
im a huge sonic fan, but that will never happen.
mario games have solid gameplay in every game he is in.
mario is also more child friendly and easier to play.
Mario is brimming with quality and Nintendo will take time with it. Other than Panasonic Era, usually quality games. So SEGA prepare to take your time and don't cheap out.
By selling it to Xbox so we can hear that 25 million players tried the game for 5 minutes? Then every sheep and journo can pretend that Phil is the King of Japan and Sega is nothing without him, the Nintendo should give in and sell to MS and that Sony only makes movie games not classic games.
Lol
Making games like Frontiers is not going to help them achieve that.
Also Superstars was average at best
They should have stuck on the Sonic Mania train, then work towards Sonic Adventure 3
the time for this passed, sega. back in the Nintendo vs. Genesis days when Sonic was the new mascot on the block maybe.
From GameWatcher: "The vast majority of Sonic IP sales, as much as 95 % come from overseas markets, Business Manager Osamu Ohashi has revealed in an interview on Sega's careers website.
Although Sonic's overseas popularity dwarfs that in Japan, the publisher will continue aiming to work towards making the IP a bigger name in its home country and other similar regions."
Which is a shame because the current English voice cast is by far the worst. It's nice to have some consistency in the Sonic voice acting area, but why does it have to be with this group?
The only one they kept from the past was Mike Pollock, who has been fantastic as Eggman. I don't know what Sega were thinking when they replaced Jason Griffith with Roger Craig Smith. Roger is a good voice actor, but his Sonic is terrible, and Kirk Thornton as Shadow is way worse. You had one voice actor who voiced both roles perfectly, why not just keep him?
Sonic started going downhill since they put voice acting
hopefully with a proper script and directing so the delivery comes off solid. Its probably too much to hope that an open world Sonic capture the aesthetics and feel I got from the Sonic CD opening all those years ago. I really do lament the design shift away from that era. Old Sonic from Generations is probably the best classic design ever, but when they went with a more elongated design I wish they had leaned toward Sonic CD's edgy look.
Sega needs someone leading the voice acting team that's actually good. One thing sonic as a series has always been bad at is voice acting. I mostly like this as a confirmation that the characters will be in this, but they either need to try a whole new cast or get someone to direct that will get everyone to do good performances.
I hope they do a better job this time, because this might be the most ambitious Sonic the Hedgehog video game yet. Im really looking forward to Sonic Frontiers.
