Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka believes that 2022 will be the biggest year of the history of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
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."
they really are confident about Frontiers, maybe it is really good actualy playing it,
however watching the trailers was boring as hell.
Are they delusional?
Are they on drugs?
They are waaaay over confident about Frontiers like they NEED it to be a success
They stopped letting people record gameplay videos at Gamescom for “spoilers” but it was really because people online were showing how some of the data levels were almost copied and pasted from Generations
