Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 142596, member: 6930"] Frontiers is just Generations 3 with Open Zones. The last Modern Sonic game that didn't reuse any previous levels from the franchise nor use the Classic Sonic aesthetic (for Modern or Classic) is still Colours from 2010, that tells a lot about how they're confident about their creativity. Yes, Lost World has ""original"" levels (if you could call Green Hills clone and New Super Mario Bros inspired environments original to begin with) but was still a Mario Galaxy clone in almost every aspects aside from the Parkour gameplay. Colours was still a proper Boost game. Frontiers is in a way a spiritual successor to Lost World with the level design being more open while still including previous levels (surprisingly, they added non-boost levels such as from SA2 but sadly no SA1 nor Heroes being referenced despite being in Generations) and having a beat'em up gameplay and RPG progression like Unleashed. The story is referencing older games but I'm legitimately tired of "Le advanced ancient civilisation" trope when we already got a backstory for the Chaos Emeralds twice with Adventure and Unleashed already. Giving a proper backstory for these gems kinda ruins their "mystique" and extra-dimensional aspects. PS: And doing elbow hit and nods to previous games doesn't equal good story. Kirby did references in a much better way than saying "hey, remember that? Remember? It's like when X did Y" which is the level 0 of referencing in my opinion. Even Zelda managed to make nods in a better way despite the mess that the timeline is about. [/QUOTE]
