One Twitter user, named Da_BigJOFFICIAL decided that they didn’t care much for Sonic being used in a “realistic environment”. This would result in quite a few fans talking about past games that used realistic settings. Not everyone would agree, leading to an interesting conversation on Twitter. “This shot looks good, but Sonic honestly looks out of place in it in my opinion. Goofy ass Hedgehog in such a..."realistic??" environment” Jake@Da_BigJOFFICIAL@sonic_hedgehog This shot looks good, but Sonic honestly looks out of place in it in my opinion.

However, it's not the first time the upcoming game has been criticized. One user pointed out that Sonic Adventure 2 actually started off with Sonic in San Francisco. Teru @teru_iru@Da_BigJOFFICIAL Sonic Adventure 2 literally starts you in San Francisco lmao. Realistic environments aren't new for sonic.Here's a video for you:youtu.be/Mokx2j1yPPs48@Da_BigJOFFICIAL Sonic Adventure 2 literally starts you in San Francisco lmao.

Keeping that in mind, another response suggested that they play another official Sonic game to sate that need, and suggested a fan-made title as well.

The same user admitted that they personally liked the realistic look. This led to a brief discussion where two Twitter users highlighted that Sonic was originally aimed at a more mature audience initially. Alys@MythicAlys@Da_BigJOFFICIAL @sonic_hedgehog I mean, just don't play it then? If it's not to your liking then you don't have to buy it.The realism works amazingly to me.10@Da_BigJOFFICIAL @sonic_hedgehog I mean, just don't play it then?

Alys@MythicAlys@Kuta81Ra @Da_BigJOFFICIAL It's silly. The only reason a lot of these people (dunno about this one in particular) are against it is because it's not done often... When they complain whenever it IS done.This looks awesome. I wish they gave Sonic some more detailed fur, but it looks great nonetheless.1@Kuta81Ra @Da_BigJOFFICIAL It's silly.

I wish they gave Sonic some more detailed fur, but it looks great nonetheless. Quite a few fans came through to mock the hot take by the original commenter, not impressed with what the Twitter user had to say. This eventually led to other Twitter users highlighting several examples of realistic Sonic games. No matter what decision the Sonic Frontiers developers make, it seems like there will always be a few unhappy members of the Sonic fanbase, but not everyone is going to be mad.

After all, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is one of the most reviled games in the franchise’s rich history.

One user complained about Sonic Origins, and the many problems they feel the game has right now. They were unhappy that SEGA was actively promoting Sonic Frontiers instead of fixing Origins, but all they got in response was a ratio. Jackpot@JacquesPaught@sonic_hedgehog Why are you promoting this game when Sonic Origins still has so many problems? Drop Dash is broken in half of the games and the "remastered" music in Sonic 3 sounds awful. Please fix the Drop Dash in Sonic 1 and 2, and switch the Sonic 3 music to the ORIGINAL prototype tracks.4@sonic_hedgehog Why are you promoting this game when Sonic Origins still has so many problems?

Organizer Geoff Keighley confirmed that it will be a part of Gamescom 2022's Opening Night Live. New footage will also be revealed with that presentation. For now, fans will just have to wait and see what is revealed on August 23, 2022 in Germany. While Sonic games will always have critics, not everyone is against the visual style revealed by SEGA.
