Board 8 > Per GameInformer's Cover Story, Big the Cat is IN Sonic Frontiers!

(+) Yeah! (+)

A summary of their time with the game(via a site no one wants to visit):

Controls were complemented multiple times. "Smooth and fast but not unwieldy", "Jumping is precise". "Speedy by controlled".
The game starts with a cyber space level based on Green Hill Zone. You reach the open world afterwards.
The cyber space levels are number. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc. The first one worked as a tutorial and was done in "less than a minute".
1-2 is "Unleashed inspired". 1-3 is "metropolitan" - probably the one from the trailer ? -. Other levels are inspired by Green Hill (again) and Chemical Plant.
Sonic Team listened to the criticism of the past few games being too short and think that Frontiers is a significant improvement in this regard.
No mention of other islands in the preview, but they found Kronos Island to be quiet large. " Quell any concerns I had that Sonic would be able to speed across too quickly".
The main loop is getting Portal Gears by defeating bosses => Using them to unlock Cyber Space levels => getting Vault Keys by finishing the Cyber Space level different challenges => Using them to unlock vaults containing the Chaos Emeralds.
You can increase Sonic's strength and defense by collecting seed and giving them to the Hermit Koco. You can increase his top speed and ring limit by returning lost Kocos to the Elder Kocos. You can fast travel to them once you've met them.
Big is in the game. Teaches you a fishing mini game.
Amy gives you quests when you hit different milestones in collecting her hearts. They center on helping Kocos. One they found especially difficult included leading several lost Kocos back to their mother while avoiding explosions.
They enjoyed the boss fights variety. The Flyer boss fight was one of their favorite moments in the game.
"Shows more potential than I can recall for any 3D Sonic game".

Time to catch the Froggy!

can we stop with the Green Hill homage levels now

Other than that, sounds pretty good!

We need less Big not more

Green Hill Zone gang

The idea of them bringing Big + fishing back but not chao garden is both hilarious and infuriating to me

I never got the big hate for Big. Hes playable in 2 pf the main games, and it only takes like 2 hours to finish that part in either of the games.

Silver deserves a lot more hate, but hes only playable in a game that nobody should play.

First, Big is the first character besides Sonic revealed for Sonic Prime, now this. It seems that Sega are gearing up for a Big push for some reason. Maybe they saw how Waluigi (and Rilla Roo to a much lesser extent) went from the Worst Character Ever for their respective series to meme characters people like ironically and wanted to try for that with Sonic's equivalent character.

Maybe Sonic Frontiers will suck after all

Is he a boss character? Does Sonic hit the fat bastard three times and he explodes into a bunch of kittens?

Secret Boss FROGGY WhEn???
