NO ONE can ever say a THING bad about his voice work as Sonic ever again. When he's given GOOD SHT TO WORK WITH he's incredible as Sonic. You're right. That scream was so raw and full of sheer will power to KEEP. GOING. Which is what makes Sonic such a likeable character. It's never about the glory for him. It's about doing what's RIGHT.

Chances are all this was probably about 65% done when the game came out and they had to do SOMETHING for the final island and boss and used the extra development time to make this for this update. I can’t see them making this entirely from scratch in between the game originally coming out and now. I could very easily be wrong but there is just too much content here for that to be the case. Except for the soundtrack. I can easily see them making that from scratch.

And they did this without a real budget. Imagine the next game, now that SEGA is giving them budget. Kishimoto is a legend for this game alone.

That final cyber/fleetway attack part at the end was incredible. Overall the final boss was insane, little janky but so much better than before. Also eggman and Sages moment made me emotional. What a journey it’s been with this game. Ty Kishimoto and everyone at sonic team 💙

@SpookySquid14

Ай бұрын

Agreed. I honestly hated how you were never even hinted at as to how to disconnect the cord and then take the gun, both of which are really important parts.

Fun fact: This is what happens when Sega lets Sonic Team cook.

Honestly, one cool thing to add to the cannon sequence is the song itself. Obviously being sick itself, when Eggman charges the cannon, there's Echoed "woahs" in the back, which considering the context of the fight and the theme of Frontiers can be interpreted as the spirits of those who died to the end singing along to the song, representing that they're with Sonic and his friends against the end, or at least that's how I see it.

It took them SIX YEARS, but finally - FINALLY - I can say this without reservation: WE ARE SO. FUCKING. *BACK*!

This franchise, is just built different! The community and the developers are built different! The fact that we got this game after something like Forces is just amazing,looking through the IGN gameplay and then the game after update 3 shows the care and love handed to this franchise! It’s just these things that make the franchise standout to me personally. Thank you Sam for being with us in this journey❤

Never in my days have I thought Sonic Team (who is known for making a kids franchise btw) make people cry. For the longest time I thought Unleashed had the best ending of any Sonic game.😢 Now I’m like choosing does Frontiers or Unleashed has the best ending.

When going against this, it kinda reminded me of Perfect Dark Gaia of how it transformed and stuff. But like Perfect Dark Gaia, this is one of, if not the best, boss fight in modern sonic history. At least for me, in my top 3 for how awsome it was. This final dlc was awsome.

Sam was just the most unapologetic fanboy during the stream, and I don't blame him for a second. That final boss was spectacular. Sure, parts of it were a little vague on how to beat, but once you know what to do, the fight is really fun. Plus, that music man. I don't see how anyone can call this fight even remotely bad. Well, I can see how someone like Premy could, but then again, he hasn't been happy with anything Sonic related in years.

Keep going fast Sam! We did it mate, the Sonic community is blessed to have you and the future for sonic is looking bright

I think my favorite thing about Frontiers is just how flawed it is. Because THIS? This is the FLOOR. The foundation they've set is this good and it's still so obvious how much they can improve. It still hasn't beat the Adventure games for me, or even matched them, but it beat Heroes which puts it around 4th or 5th. The next games have a real chance of dethroning some from the top 3.

Sam, I have been watching and subscribed to you since the IGN fiasco many years ago. You are my go to Sonic guy. And Sonic is my favorite franchise. Now Sonic Frontiers is my favorite game. The DLC has been truly amazing. Sonic Team rules!

back when i played the update i had my jaw dropped for the entire boss fight, that the best sonic experience in my life

I’m predicting this right now Sam is boutta blow when he reaches the final boss betting EVERYTHING on that 😩😩💦

This was a blast following the community from way back to 2021. Will say it i will never forget this game and you all guys. Brings tears to my eyes😢🎉

Look how different things play out when you give them a year to finish the game, man. Insane.

The blue blue went PLANET BUSTER BABY!!!!! MARIO WHO???!!!!

That attack with the crazy arms, you get into it by dodging, then if you parry it you get to do a grand slam. It's a pretty cool grand slam. The whole fight is pretty cool actually.

15:50 the best part

So glad I had this jurney with sM and everyone🎉 Kishimoto and the rest of the team deserve a love letter after this❤

The arms coming out was on some Perfect Dark Gaia shit ong Damn I wish he saw the parry animation

I loved this update despite hating the difficulty at first. Thank you sonic team for actually improving the game.

Never would I expected this Final Boss to go so fucking hard. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sam get this emotional ever in a Sonic game

Once I heard the lyrical version of Im With You I teared up. I loved the instrumental and this is even better somehow

I'm so happy for you, Sam. I've been watching and supporting you since 2017,and it's been a pleasure to see you and your channel grow. You're awesome and never feel sorry for chasing your dreams and doing what you gotta do 👍🏾

Future of Sonic is looking amazing! 😁

best credits theme

I wish I cried too, but I caught a bad cold during this boss... Still, SHONEN PEAK!!!

if this boss fight was peak, IMAGINE WHAT THE FINAL BOSS FIGHT WILL BE IN THE NEXT GAME.

We went from a mid ass gameplay showcase that made the game look like it was gonna be another miss to... this. My only gripe is that they didn't give us an intro using the Marza animation from the trailers but man, Frontiers might be my favorite game ever now even though it's not the best I've played, but it's the one that means the most to me.

I still can't believe to this day how they managed to sneak in a Dragon Ball Z reference with that one for one recreation of the Battle of Gods Sphere of Destruction scene when you fail to avoid any of the ball attacks in the second phase of the End battle.

It was so hard being a Sonic fan in the last decade. I am so fucking happy that Frontiers had so much thought put into it. Especially giving us a free update that let us play as other characters that hasn't happened in a 3D Sonic game in a long time, and made a new experience with the last boss. I can't wait to see what they'll cook, if they ever announce a new title.

Bro i swear when sonic got a close up after being shot out the cannon, he looked like fleetway sonic👁

The real Sonic The Hedgehog is back. He's finally returned.

If the difficulty did not have the problem that it is difficult and frustrating for no reason and that they do not explain key things such as the block in the arms or the change of objective, this update had the reception it deserves and not the one it has both in the good and in the bad 😢

good to see i'm not the only one who was fucking _sobbing_ at the end of this

I avoided this until I finished it for myself as I did recently, everything was beautiful. 😭

I think I lost my voice that day. They cooked with this update ngl

The whole journey came into full circle. We were surprised then, and we’re surprised now.

It's a shame you didn't get to see the Grand Slam animation against the boss.

This is one of the best dlc extra stories I’ve ever seen like fr the baddassery in the final fight alone cemented itself as one of the best dlc extra stories I’ve seen ever

After 11 years of super sonic not being relevant in the story they brought him back and became even more badass

The credits song really hits different after going on a whole adventure n after finishing that hard ass final boss such a beautiful song did also make me cry

After Playing this Boss and this update IM NOT going through with that much anxiety and mental breakdowns AGAIN!

The part where supreme is moving his arms all wild you can actually parry. I didn’t even know that until I beat it last night!

i am.....speachless. i refuse to believe that sonic team did this. by far THIS is the best sonic game ever. FINALLY! the best part is IGN cant say shit!

In one of my attempts the one I beated the final boss in I managed to prevent that massive spirit bomb thing from happening by just attacking and parrying everything.

:) I really hope sonic team goes in a good direction (like sonic frontiers) from here and also keep up the good work Sam!

That was the best final boss fight since Dark Gaïa. It felt like an anime fight and i almost cried. To me, Jason Griffith is still the best voice for Sonic. However it dosen’t mean that i hate the recent voice actor or anything, i do love his voice in certain Sonic games. But WOW, Roger Craig Smith’s Screams for Sonic at 18:24 and 19:01 gave me chills because i probable never heard that from him. And definitly his Sonic performance in this game and i’m sure it will be another great performance in the next game. The third update did the game more amazing (despite the frustrating difficulty😂). Now i’m hyped for Sonic Superstars and the next Sonic game in the future. This is a great time to be a Sonic fan.

For anyone who needs help with the final boss, there is a way to get you locked in to the wire a bit easier. I'm not sure if it's possible with other consoles, but, for any Xbox users-- once you're at the head, press the left ( LB ) dodge button and it gives you the symbol for the wire. I'm not sure if this helps, but it certainly did for me, and i got this idea from a reddit commenter when i tried searching on how to beat the boss. So.. yea, hope this helps👍

@Jtmissile well, the way i did it is that- i hit it a few times and then once I'm close to the head after those attacks, i press dodge a few times until i see the symbol. I'll admit, i did have a few mistakes here and there, too, but it does work eventually. And once you get the hang of it, the boss will be a bit easier to manage if you go on your way and try to defeat it again.

I almost wanted to cry over all of this but sadly, i didnt. Everything about this blew my mind into dust

This update really elevated the game, which was already great, to even higher heights. Non-Sonic fans probably gonna rank it on like 7 to 8. Sonic fans like 8-9 and some an actual 10/10 banger. This game is now HELLA worth it like wow. Still can't believe this update is free. This is what $60 was worth a few years ago. Glad the passion for this franchise has been brought back. Hopefully this can continue. If they follow through with making games like Frontiers, which would take like 3-5 years of development, I am completely fine with it. This is such a phenomenal game they have put out and it hopefully is the start of a new era for Sonic.
