For Sonic you NEED to change to "Performance mode". Dont know why they put the 30fps mode by default.

I put sonic on performance mode. Never experienced the frame rate drops like you did. Playing it on ps5. In my opinion, probably one of the best 3D sonic experiences.

Thanks so much for all the continued content! Your videos really deliver a sense of joy to my day 👊🏼❤️🤘🏼

I got into the Ys series back when Ys 6 came out in the mid 2000s, about 15 years or so ago. Then I came upon your channel and realized that I had missed out on all the others.

Thanks for mentioning the Ys VIII limited edition. Didn't know it was coming out and I was able to pre-order the other day.

I also love sonic adventure, it's very close to my heart. I knew frontiers was going to be a departure from previous games and I went into it with an open mind, and I've really been enjoying it! Sonic for me is about innovation and new ideas, changing direction constantly will throw a lot of people off but it's something I cherish about the franchise. Just like it's mascot, sonic team is always on the move and I wouldnt change it for anything.

Alright, Sunday morning Johnny time! Damnit, what am I doing….lol. Love this guys channel. The best!!

With Sonic Frontiers, I'd say turn 60 fps mode on in the settings and keep giving it a try! It really is the most fun 3d Sonic game in years and it kinda goes back to basics with the character count which is nice

have been playing soul hackers 2, i can see why most people have problems with it, but im still enjoying it. i like the "not everyone in your party are necessarily good people" vibe it has

Playing ys 8 for the first time 15 hours in and I'm loving it.

Awesome video and I honestly cannot wait to play the first Bayonetta - definitely missed out on that so hoping to get the first one soon and check it out next year!

One of my favorite KZreadrs ever, been watching u forever Johnny

If you're having issues with the framerate in sonic frontiers on PS5 I recommend putting it in performance mode. Its been a rock solid framerate for me doing that and has made the game way more appealing.

Sonic Frontiers is flawed but has been very fun for me which should ultimately be the most important factor. Better than being technically sound and boring. I'm 43 and skipped most of the 3d Sonic stuff after Adventure 2 just like you but this one hit the spot for me. My jaw has dropped a few times too!

Thanks for being so honest about Sonic Frontiers. I am still on the fence and your opinion on this game makes me just think I’ll wait some more. Awesome video!

Excellent video as always! I am a long time watcher but havent commented often. Thanks for giving the heads up on the PS5 version of Ys 8! I forgot it was coming and meant to order that special edition from the NIS store! For Sonic Frontiers - I am loving it so far! I was completely taken off guard with its quality and it feels like they have finally figured out a good direction to take Sonic. As others have noted, the game defaults to 4K mode which unfortunately has some uneven frame pacing, but you can go to the options menu and swap it to 60fps mode and it is buttery smooth! I didnt realize this for a long time until I saw the Digital Foundry video on it! Hope you enjoy it a little more if you play anymore, maybe the 60 fps mode will help for you.

Like the way you're holding Sonic Frontiers in the thumbnail 🤣

how good were the old games ! i would love if someday i feel the same feelings playing games again like Demons Crest, a link to the past, super metroid and so many masterpieces !

Awesome video man 😎!

Y’s VIII is on ps plus! Excited to check that game out. I got a ps5 a few months ago and have been loving it. Recently I just beat “God of War” (2018) for the first time (I didn’t have a ps4 last generation, only Xbox one) to prepare for “god of war: ragnarok” which I have now. I also recently played Spider-Man Remastered, that game looks SO good on ps5. Lots in the backlog, and not enough time to game as I work a lot. But thankful for the machine! I also really dug Gran Turismo 7, which was kind of broken (so I hear) at launch, but which polyphony has fixed a lot of the issues with as far as progression. That game (to me) is very fun now. Enjoyed it! Thanks for the videos! Love your content.

I've preordered Ys 8 special edition on PS5 for release day in UK this coming Friday 18th - can't wait! Also preordered Ys 9 on PS5 for 6 months time

River City Girls 1 and 2 collection is releasing on December 1st and I'm excited for that. Also, Akai Katana is coming to the Switch in December, that's a day 1 buy for me, I love a good bullet hell shooter.

Right now, I'm playing Lost Judgement on PS5, Metroid Dread & WarioWare Get It Together on Switch. All three games are awesome games.

Great video Happy Gamer. I too enjoyed Ys VIII, but I never finished it because I have ADHD and I got into another game. But it's cool that it has been released on PS5. I'll definitely have to get it. I'm currently playing GoW Ragnatok, Gotham Knights, and the new Star Ocean game. I'm looking forward to playing the remake of Crisis Core. But ultimately I'm very excited to play FF7 Remake 2 and FFXVI.

Great video. I been playing Gotham knights and mw2

The subtle middle finger to Sonic Frontiers in the thumbnail. I see you.

i had zero frame rate issues with sonic. i played in performance and it stayed locked 60fps. you notice it right away. i felt you got more out of 60fps mode than graphic mode for what each is suppose to give.

I saw Bayonetta 3, Ys VIII and Sonic Frontiers and clicked right away!

I've just started Ys VIII as it's on PS Plus Premium. Only around a few hours in but enjoying it.

That middle finger in the thumbnail tho 🤣

I’m playing Shredder’s Revenge, Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles DE. They all are fun to play, but Shredder’s Revenge is so easy to pick up and play through that it’s getting the most love at the moment.

I just finished Valkyrie Elysium which I enjoyed a lot and am now starting up Luigi's Mansion 3 which I am playing based on your recommendation along with my girlfriend's recommendation also. First time playing through any of the Luigi games and am finding it cute and wonderful

2022 is pretty much over for me now, but dang 2023 is going to be stacked

I got Ys VIII on the Switch maybe a year after it came out, and once I played it, I regretted not getting the special edition because of how much I enjoyed it. I'm glad it's re-released so I can finally get the special edition and also enjoy the game all over again (though I need to finish playing through Ys VI and VII before I do that!)

The thumbnail killed me 🤣

The big games I've been loving are Star Ocean The Divine Force... and Sonic Frontiers xD I've been loving Frontiers, personally, and I think a few people have mentioned this, but go to the options and switch it to performance mode! I've honestly been loving Frontiers, the story, atmosphere and just using Sonic's skills to explore open zones and find things. Plus, the bosses and mini-bosses are pure badass!

I'm going to finally give Ys 8 a try. It will be on my Christmas list. The same with Sonic Frontiers. I know you said it disappointed you. But, I've been a life long Sonic fan. I need to check this out for myself to see what's up because, like you, I didn't know what to think about the game at first.

Me and my 7 year old son recently completed sonic forces and thought it was great!! He wanted to try this one out but always good to get Johnny’s opinion on games as we watched a video and I thought frontiers looked crap 😂 thanks for the confirmation 👍

Watching Sonic run around in the "open zone" makes me want to buy it.

Performance mode on PS5... runs smooth as butter and feels amazing in 60fps

Hey there, Johnny - long time running Sonic fan here. First off, I just wanted to say, thank you so much for picking up Sonic Frontiers, and giving it a fair chance to begin with. A lot of people, including myself, have been waiting for a really fun, decently good 3D Sonic game for ages now. However, I completely understand where you're coming from, when it comes to expecting a world more like SA1s. Two games that come to mind, that re do what Sonic Adventure did with it's in game hub worlds and atmosphere, are Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, and Sonic Unleashed, A.K.A Sonic World Adventure. For a long time now, a lot of people consider Unleashed to be the best of the franchise. It's definitely a good one, but I'm not so sure if it takes that cake. Even so, between 06 and Unleashed, Unleashed is definitely the better one of the two. It does recapture the same magic as Sonic Adventure 1 does for sure. However, the Werehog idea may come off as off-putting at first, but the in game levels are still pretty great, and control well. I recom playing the game on Series X, as it's the absolute best way to experience it. Sonic Frontiers is basically, an unofficial soft reboot for the series, in terms of gameplay. This game, is just the beginning of what Sonic Team wants to do for the next 10 years of Sonic. Not only that, Takashi Iizuka, the game's director, went on record saying that he wants to eventually make Sonic Adventure 3. There are even shelved remakes of Adventure 1 and 2, that the team may pick up again sometime soon. So yeah... You truly never know, when it comes to Sonic. Time will tell.

Love your show. I also have buy bayonetta 3 it's awesome game and i also have tactics Ogre reborn switch.

I've Ys VIII on preorder for ps5. Will be my first Ys

I upgraded to the PS+ premium and finished both YS8 and YS9. I cannot believe I didn’t know about this series and I LOVE it. I do think 8 is way better than 9

Yeah. Some games even manage to rotate the skyboxes, givin big atmosphere.

“I really want to talk about these games that rock! …and sonic frontiers” 😂

Definitely go into the settings for Sonic Frontiers and change it to 60fps. Even on PS4, i haven't really had that many fps issues, if any. The game also gets way better once you get out of that initial Tutorial section of the 1st island, literally when it says "Sonic is free to explore" or something like that.

I missed out on Sonic growing up. I had Nintendo. Sonic Adventure was my first Sonic game I got at launch with my Dreamcast and it was awesome! This game reminds me of that first experience I got with Adventure. I picked up the PS5 version $35 for Black Friday.

I loved Sonic frontiers the story and characters felt like something right out of the adventure era and I loved all the pathways that opened up as you explored and did stuff and the shrine levels were awesome. I can totally understand where you’re coming from about the overworlds though. I found them relaxing atmospheric backdrops but they definitely tend towards minimalism

And this is exactly why they should have had the preformance mode as Default setting in Sonic.

You are flipping us the bird with your left hand that’s holding Sonic Frontiers. Maybe rethink that thumbnail? 😂😮

Can't wait for Ys X!

I heard Sonic gets better after the 1st open world/area/level. Keep playing & give us an update!

been playing Star Ocean the Divine Force myself, been enjoying it.

Been playing that sonic frontiers… I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying it. I bought it because I thought it would be “interesting,” but I’m having some legitimately great fun

Did you get your collectors edition early?? I pre ordered mine months ago too and I haven’t gotten it yet

I was waiting for your opinion on this game 🤘🏻, still gonna get it but once it drops the price

I've been playing through Live A Live for the 2nd time. Doing the little secrets, and secret encounters. After completing it I plan on playing Tactics Ogre Reborn.

I'm not playing anything new, but starting RE1 director's cut on PS1 and doing an entire series run. I've only finished RE4 and RE5, so it's gonna be a journey to say the least.

I'm playing some older games, Graveyard Keeper on my steam deck. It's a perfect game to play on the go. Also getting into Dungeon Keeper 1 using the KeeperFX mod to play in higher resolutions and better compatibility with modern PCs. Been having a blast revisiting DK1 after well over 20 years.

Babe wake up, new HCG upload.

Johnny, I love your jacket ! Where can I get it?

I have gone all out with gaming,due to an unforeseen illness last week, it’s the most free time I’ve had in forever. Playing MW2 and enjoying it in spurts ( haven’t bought one in years), loving Sonic frontiers (60 fps mode or bust), Bayonetta 3 is great. I have been playing all the boomer shooters on my steam deck and absolutely loving them, highlights are Prodeus, nightmare reaper, and cultic. It has definitely kept my mind off of being ill, what a great time to be a gamer

So I just started my first play of DQ11. It is the perfect game for me to play at this time. Very charming and engrossing story. Love it! But I’m most excited for Octopath Traveler 2

I just picked up Atari 50. I'm about to check it out.

On my Nintendo switch I loved Ys Viii Lacrimosa of Dana!

Recently have gotten into d&d sent me down a rabbit whole hahah also got me into crpgs like divinity original sin 2 and pillars of eternity

I just finished my second character in Octopath traveler (I did one chapter of each character at a time). I’m 75 hours in. I’m OP right now so the last chapter for everyone else should be pretty simple. Trying to decide whether I want to start a game I’ve never played before or replay FF12 (It’s been on my mind lately for some reason)

Let me start off by saying I love this channel! Games I'm currency playing: Switch- Bayonetta 3, Persona 5 Royal, BloodRayne 2 Revamped PS5- God of War Ragnarok, Sonic Frontiers after I finish GOW Series X- A Plague Tale Requiem My copy of YS 8 for PS5 will be delivered tomorrow. I'm looking forward to Pokémon on Friday and Callisto Protocol in a few weeks. Side note for Sonic Frontiers you need to go to the options and change mode to performance for a (mostly) smooth 60fps at a dynamic 1800p, the performance is even better if you have a TV that supports VRR. The default mode you are playing the game is at 30fps with frame pacing issues, that's why you are seeing a lot of stutter... Digital Foundry has a video that shows all the different modes for each console, and the PS5 and Series X versions are the best by far. Because of the 60fps option. Hopefully you stick with Sonic Frontiers, because I hear it's a great game! 👍

I'm playing Sonic Frontiers on ps5 in 60fps mode with VRR enabled and it's been pretty smooth. Def recommend immediately switching off of the default 4k graphics mode. I'm really enjoying the game. It's refreshing to have Sega's sense of style with music and aesthetic in an open world design. Considering the collectathon past of platformers, the two formats gel well together. Reminds me of how fun Immortals Fenyx Rising is.

I really like Sonic Frontiers! Best 3d sonic since generations and unleashed. Performance mode is best and yeah some pop in but its good. I also got the collectors edition of ys 8. My 4th time buying it haha. Got collectors edition of Bayonetta 3 too

I have been playing a lot of retro. but also No More Heroes 2, and Travis Strikes Again on Switch. Last week or so I've tried out about 10 PC-FX games, played a little over half the library now. I played and beat the Valis Collection with the Turbogrrafx/PC-Engine versions of Valis 1, 2 & 3. On NES I beat Dancing Blocks, Super Pang, Super Pang II, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I also finally got TMNT: Shredder's Revenge which was super fun. I still have 1 NES game in my collection that I haven't beaten and that's Faxanadu. Had so save the best for last (or so I hope). I will be playing that tomorrow.
