I truly hope this is the Sonic renaissance

[NathanielBandy]

Finally, a trailer that actually talks about what's happening in the game

[mariocooper]

I’m actually happy the Chaos Emeralds are not only returning but actually play a huge part in the game’s story. Last time they were around was in Sonic Generations & Mania (they were also in Lost World but served no purpose at all).

It's weird to think of Sonic having defense, given usually he just scatters rings everywhere on hit. Maybe the defense stat will decrease the amount of rings you lose.

[TheEternalSamurai]

Geez, this is like the most information we’ve got about Frontiers in this one video. So happy to see the chaos emeralds making a return into the storyline

[Turo]

This and the story trailer have definitely done wonders getting across what the game is gonna be like. This genuinely looks good.

[Umarohh]

Bro, seeing that “discover new areas of the map” is actually so exciting for me. I used to run through the jungle hub world in 06 for a long time because exploring and running around an open world with sonic felt so fun (and cuz I was a brainless kid).

[zainmushtaq]

Love the reassurance that this is going to be a high-speed, action-filled, fast and flexible game letting us blaze our own trail at fast speeds.

[terbamo]

I don't think you understand how much of a good decision they made by bringing the Chaos Emeralds back. The most important items to the Sonic franchise is finally back, now.
I'm happy :)

[BedsideTechSupport]

I'm hoping there is a Super Sonic final boss. If there is Super Sonic. It would be cool to explore the islands in Super Form.

[sbgaming]

So far, this game looks great, I like the open zone better than the cyberspace from what I’ve seen, but the game still looks solid!

[Nathanieltan]

The shot of Sonic opening his eyes with lightning bolts looks sick!! 🔥
I am so super hyped for this game!

[JohnnyMontilla]

This game better be good. I have high hopes for this one.

[Henleash]

This game really is going to be the determining factor for how this franchise will evolve in the future; not just in the gameplay, but the storytelling too. This is the first truly serious story we’ve had since Sonic Unleashed/Sonic and the Black Knight, and I’m really intrigued to see how it goes.
November can’t get here fast enough!

[vurvo]

I’m happy that Unleashed didn’t scare them away from combat. It can be done right without getting rid of the speed, and it seems the game is doing a good job at striking a balance!

[BrunoHenrique-orzb]

I'm excited to play this game. I'm already counting the seconds until its launch. Since Sonic Unleashed we didn't see a so ambitious Sonic game. Sonic Team really seems to be proud with this game and and apparently put all efforts on it.

[thelastwindwaker]

I'm glad to see they're not leaning entirely into the open world stuff. A nice mix of linear and open gives something for everyone.

[mechatec]

I think this could be a really good game. We’ll have to keep our expectations low, given Sega’s recent track record, but I think this game could be an enjoyable experience

[TailsIsDisappointed]

It's funny how SEGA made a Sonic game that the fans practically demanded, and when they have nothing to complain about, they say Sonics quills are too short.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to this.

[TimelessTimothy]

It feels so surreal, and so wonderful, to see that my hopes for this game are actually becoming a reality. Ever since May 2021, when Sonic Central 1 first teased Sonic Frontiers, I've continually held great optimism for the future of Sonic games _(and especially his new 3D outings), _ including Sonic Frontiers.

I've wanted this game to serve as a good, great transition to more higher-quality, honest-to-goodness experiences from this storied, prolific franchise. And yet again, I've happily found myself seeing many more reasons to be optimistic, even moreso now!

Within this trailer, I notice yet **another** display of Frontiers' cinematic qualities (like through its combat presentation, the Emerald cutscenes, etc.).

For instance, when Sonic was starting his dash through one of the Cyberspace City levels (seen at 0:16 - 0:17), the camera initially hangs at a tilted vertical angle, almost implying/suggesting that Sonic is running *straight* down a virtual highway (ala Terminal Velocity in Sonic Colors Wii/SCUltimate); then, the camera smoothly sets into Sonic's running plane, placed directly in front of him. Of course, there were numerous neat things that I haven't mentioned here, but I just wanted to shout-out that instance.

Altogether, things are looking astonishingly good, with a high (arguably newfound) sense of professionalism unparalleled by past Sonic titles. Although I was unsure whether I would pre-order Sonic Frontiers (while still being optimistic), I'm determined to do exactly that for my October birthday.

*And remember, amazing things await us, folks!*
