Start the world empty, so that you learn the controls, the freedom, and (for the story) you feel the isolation/loneliness. "The answer that came to was, as you're playing the game, the world opens up as you complete things, and new rails come in so you get to experience the island kind of transforming into this bigger and bigger playground which does feel really Sonic-y and it's our way of showing people this open zone format." We had to do a lot of balance and figuring out how we get the platforming in there but not have it be overwhelming. All right, if we just make this a hot mess of platforming all over the place, you're gonna walk in there and it'll be like I don't even know what's going on.
And so we needed to put platforming elements into the game. The "open zone" thing makes a lot more sense after reading the following from the Eurogamer article: which has not been clear so far from the marketing. Its hard to show off the game in a small section, and its genuinely a different gaming experience to other Sonic games, AND other similar looking open world games.

I assume this is a translation/second language/cultural subtlties problem, but from reading the full thing, I totally understand what he means. "Don't understand" is really poor phrasing because it sounds patronising. Please read our FTC Disclosure for more information.

What do you think of Iizuka's comments on Sonic Frontiers? Do you think the game should be delayed, or are fans getting worried over nothing? Let us know with a comment! It's clear that Sonic Frontiers is a huge departure from past 3D Sonic titles, so hopefully the gamble will pay off for Team Sonic.

"Indeed, for all its issues it looks like it could be Sonic Team's most interesting take on the series since Sonic Adventure - something to be wary of, perhaps, but having got to try it out for myself it's now something I'm also cautiously optimistic about too." Some initial impressions of the game are already starting to trickle in off the back of Summer Game Fest, with Eurogamer stating that the game "plays a lot better than it looks": So we do feel that we’re getting to the point where this game is done, and people will like it, and we do want to get that game into our fans’ hands as soon as possible.” From our playtesting results we have been iterating, we have been listening to the comments that come back, but we’ve also been getting a lot of great feedback from people who rate the game and are like, ‘I had a lot of fun playing this game, I’d give it like an 80 or 90 point score out of 100’. “Frontiers is in development now, and actually we’ve been doing a lot of playtesting with our target audience, who would be in that demographic of someone who’d play a Sonic game and enjoy it. When asked whether Team Sonic would consider delaying the game off the back of fan feedback, Iizuka stated that he and the team were happy with their progress and are pushing to get the game in fans' hands sooner rather than later: "And really, the team is going out and creating this new game format for Sonic, and we’re calling it an ‘open zone’ format.And this new game system itself is something that doesn’t really exist in any other comparable titles, so we really hope that from here until launch we can really explain what open zone gameplay is.” So we do see a lot of people saying, ‘oh, it’s kind of like this, it’s kind of like that, but it’s not like this, it’s not like that’.
We do realise everyone is just kind of reacting to the videos that they saw, and because they don’t understand what this new gameplay is they’re kind of comparing it to other games that they already know. In chatting with VGC, it seems Team Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka is well aware of some of the feedback being shared online at the moment, but doesn't seem overly concerned at this stage. The gameplay videos shown so far have a few fans concerned about the new format, particularly the rather bizarre similarities to games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Since IGN started its month-long coverage for Sonic Frontiers, feedback from the fans has been, well.
