I pity anyone playing Sonic Frontiers on Nintendo Switch

An uneven game in its best form, on Switch Sonic Frontiers is a mess of pixels and is plain ugly.

The game suffers severely because it's on the switch. The game should have been made for pc, ps4, Xbox one and next gen consoles only.

ZycoFox887d ago

Or maybe even just PS5 and the new Xbox and PC, but of course they want to make as much profit as possible so it goes on everything.

Profchaos887d ago (Edited 887d ago )

I say this as someone who had played around 6 hours on ps5.

The game still isn't perfect and had a significant amount of pop in which can be distracting however it's fun enough to overlook it.

Brute forcing the game with power isn't really going to fix the underlying issues

These issues mostly stem from engine issues and memory leaks from what I understand.

Eliminating the switch would not help fix these problems. That being said the switch version should have been delayed again and recived done more polish

ZycoFox887d ago

All versions should've been better yea, the game had to be rushed out though so I guess the devs had no choice, who knows how long they'll spend doing patches though, wonder if much will change.

spoonard887d ago

Just another example of Nintendo bringing down a game because of it's crappy hardware.

FallenAngel1984887d ago

Unfortunately Sega would never release a Sonic game nowadays and not put it on a Nintendo system

DashMad886d ago

The thing is Sonic always sold the most in Nintendo console no way Sega would leave money in the table. that's why they keep porting every Sonic game despite underpowered hardware Sonic just not that popular in PS and Xbox.

My friend got it for switch and I played it and was honestly shocked how well it ran considering it’s on the other consoles. Totally recommend for switch. I played it in handheld mode btw.

Profchaos887d ago

Did you just play the cyber stages ? They run fine it's the open world where things fall apart

lellkay887d ago

People have extremely low standards if they totally recommend this game on any platform, let alone the awful Switch version.

DefaultComment887d ago

This might shock you but some people play games, not pixels.

lellkay886d ago (Edited 886d ago )

This might shock you, but some people have standards for what they spend money on.

lellkay887d ago (Edited 887d ago )

Sure the Switch version is by far the worst, but the game is poor on any platform. Sonic fans are just so starved they will try and find something good in anything at this point.

The engine is piss poor, the graphics are ugly and textures are horrible and stuff constantly pops in right under your nose. The gameplay just in general leaves so much to be desired. Such a lack of understanding of what actually makes sonic games sonic games, a pure lack of focus on physics and momentum, as usual acomplete over reliance on "hold forward" automation and lack of any real organic gameplay.

Add in reused levels for cyberspace, ugly copy and paste rails just floating in the sky, and I'm literally shocked some of the fans are accepting of this poor game.

GotGame818887d ago

I take it you played through the game, to have such a problem with it? It is at 76% on Metecritic! I will pick it up on sale.

lellkay887d ago (Edited 887d ago )

I played through the end of island two (I got 100% on the first two) and that was more than enough for me to feel completely bored with it.

Feel free to grab it and make up your own mind of course, but I'd recommend plenty of other games that came out this year over it, Elden Ring, GOWR, HFW, Stray, Xenoblade, Bayonetta 2, A Plague Tale etc etc

Levii_92887d ago

I pity anyone who still has a Switch including myself.

antikbaka887d ago

I pity anyone playing Sonic Frontiers and New Pokemon nomatter where

darthv72144d ago

No shit... I just got the VR SW game digitally because its crazy $$ for disc.

F.I.S.T. and Forespoken i still have sealed so now I wont have to unseal them.

PapaBop144d ago

New PSVR 2 owners are in for a treat. Tales from the Galaxy's Edge is amazing.

pwnmaster3000144d ago

Nice now I can see how truly bad forspoken was

MrBaskerville144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

The combat is good. But the open world is shit. Feels like a game where they had a good foundation but didn't know what to use it for.

Might be a hot take, but it's a lot like Sonic Frontiers. Good idea, but terrible use of open world.

andy85144d ago

It was good imo. Magic system and combat were very good. World traversal is some of the best I've played. Writing can be lacking but there's a lot of humour in it. I've always said this'll be a days gone situation where people only appreciate it when it's given away 'free'. The hate mostly seems to be from people who haven't even played it

Traecy144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

Totally agree with your comment. The gameplay was fun, the graphics are decent, the story is lacking but there is some humor. Most folks that were dissing the game didn't even play it.

MrNinosan144d ago

I actually liked Forspoken and had fun all the way til the Platinum trophy was achieved.

Christopher143d ago

So much unnecessary open world.

OldDuffer143d ago

I really liked it. Going in with low expectations, I was surprised to find a game I enjoyed. Traversal is a blast and I thought the combat was fun. The writing was a bit cringe in places, but I play games, it's a rare thing to get great writing and it didn't spoil it for me. I think plenty people will have more fun than they expect once they can try for free...but you need to get a couple of hours into it. If you can make it through that fud, your good!

monkey602144d ago

There's a few in here I've wanted to try but not quite taken the plunge on.
I'm curious about Sonic, have wanted F.I.S.T. , Would try Coffee Talk and Phogs. Maybe even give WRC a try.
Pleased with this selection now.

TheNamelessOne144d ago

The Coffee Talk games are good. Wasn't a fan of FIST though.

monkey602144d ago

Shame to hear that. It's probably the one on this list I am most excited to play.

VivaLaManual143d ago

FIST is a very solid metroidvania.

gold_drake144d ago

forspoken haha.
but i might play it as long as its available.

ps2 classics are good.

Traecy144d ago

I played it back when it was first released, the gameplay is fun.
