The Real-World Inspiration Behind That Iconic Sonic Logo



Quote
Oshima had really been into American leather jackets, emblems, and airplane nose art and they wanted to use this aesthetic as part of their presentation of the character.
Oshima explained that he drew the emblem with the wings to look like the sort of thing you would see stitched onto the back of a flight jacket.

I usually love Sonic's cheerful upbeat music, but I'll give this a try since it fits the environment.
I don't mind the PSO2:NG-vibes since PSO was first created by Sonic Team afterall.
Now let's wait for the combat battle.
Based on the teaser, one of his new attack's like from Pac-Man World 3
(running around the enemies to destroy them).



Let's see what's more.

Sonic Frontiers: Combat Gameplay Trailer | IGN First

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q88r4mKJGoM
I think an elaborate combat for Sonic is a good thing. We haven't had one of those since Shadow's game (and Sonic Battle and Chronicles I guess). In almost every Sonic game, you just jump on the badniks. Homing attack just makes it all the more easier to the point badniks are treated more like obstacles or stepping stones than a threat.

My guess for Sonic Frontiers is Dr. Eggman finds a whole armoury with alien robots and all he had to do was run his badnik loyalty program through them to take control. He'll probably still make badniks in the game but these enemy robots look nothing like Eggman's designs.

He does lightning punches now, lol..
Yeah, where is Eggman?
He's not shown up anywhere in the trailer.
But I'm sure he'll show up in the game since Pollock confirmed his involvement in the series.

As a final boss like Lost World probably even though the Zetis are the main enemies.

Famitsu shows off Sonic Origins in live stream, including new features and animated cutscenes (including all Sonic Mania Adventures animation)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St86PQwccgc

Some highlights for me was the opening animated cutscene for Sonic 1, the confirmation of Sonic Mania Adventures animations all being included, the surprisingly expanded 2 player mode with new maps, the mission and boss battle modes and the aforementioned overworld map of all the classic era islands.

Maybe a zeti is controlling these robots, who knows.

Eitherway, I've heard the favourable views have soured since those gameplay demos.

That's a possibility. I haven't think that far.

It's kinda mixed on Facebook and Discord.
While the new combat style is much appreciated, the world design still got a lot of hates.. but lot of defenders too.





Some says it reminded them of this instead of NGS :
