The head of Sonic Team studio, Takashi Iizuka has spoken out that Sonic Frontiers will not be delayed anymore.
The #DelaySonicFrontiers tag recently became a new trend when it was attached to the social network Twitter earlier this month, after many Sonic fans took to the social media platform to vent their frustrations about the first videos of Sonic. game title. As part of an upcoming interview, Iizuka was asked what he thought of the mixed reaction to scenes in the game.
“It’s not really surprising in this regard,” Iizuka replied. “We’ve found that people are just reacting to the videos they’ve watched, and because they don’t understand what this new way of playing is, they’re often comparing it to other games they already know. “So we see a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, something like this, something like that, but not this, not that’.”
Actually, the team is going to make a new game about Sonic the squirrel and we call it an open world game. This new gameplay system itself is something that doesn’t really exist in any other title, so we really hope that between here and launch we can really explain the new gameplay. This is for your peace of mind.” He added: “If people come to this year’s Gamescom event or Tokyo Game Show, you’ll be able to get a hands-on experience to play the game and understand what it’s like.
We asked Iizuka how he feels about the recent #DelaySonicFrontiers tag on social media and if he really wants to delay the game if he’s not completely satisfied with it? However, Iizuka stated that this is not a problem, because the development team is happy with the game as it is.
“Frontiers is currently in development and we actually did a lot of pranks with gamers,” he replied. “But we also get a lot of great feedback from people who review the game and are like, ‘I’ve been so happy and excited to play this title, I’ll give it 80 or 90 out of 100’. “So we feel that we’re getting to the point where this game is done and people are going to love it, and we want to get that game into the hands of fans as soon as possible.”
