| Xxain said: Sonic Frontiers inspiration looks more like Shadow of the Colossus. The center tower thing in the first reveal was spot on the central tower on SoTC. Then fighting colossal figures.. You guys know Open World games existed before Breath of the Wild Right? Breath does nothing original for the open world, hell if I recall, BotW took major inspiration from Fallout series. |
BOTW probs took some inspiration from SOTC anyway, but I reference BOTW because of the:
-music & tone.
-the alien look/feel of the technology.
-the apparatus which seems to similar to a Sheikah tower.
To me they are more likely taking ques from the massively successful BOTW rather than SOTC even if Zelda didn't invent most of these tropes. I was a bit harsh with my first comment. In isolation it looks decent as far a tease goes & I've been calling for an open world/huge level sonic for a while in order to utilise his speed... but they really need to stand on their own feet whereas this feels like they've forced sonic together with something which tonally/aesthetically belongs in s different IP that is more RPG than fun platformer. I'll wait to see more
