ThatвЂ™s me just got to the end of a delightful game on Switch called Carto. Hopefully some more interesting environments will be revealed because at the moment, it gives the impression that rather than fix the usual gameplay problems, Sonic Team has gotten around the challenge by simply swapping them for a mostly barren landscape. But what weвЂ™ve seen so far вЂ“ which isnвЂ™t much, admittedly вЂ“ looks ratherвЂ¦ dull? On a technical level, putting Sonic in an open world environment makes perfect sense, and it seems to play functionally well. The early footage of Sonic Frontiers leaves me with mixed feelings. Would it also hurt for someone ato Sonic Team to actually explain whatвЂ™s going on in these videos? IвЂ™m not a big fan of them just dumping them out with no explanation like this. IвЂ™m also worried about the atmosphere which, while not grimdark exactly seems to be far too serious for what is a game, lest we forget, about a talking blue hedgehog who can run really fast. Maybe Sonic Frontiers will be good but no-one likes a copycat and it seems really weird that SonicвЂ™s big comeback is a reskin of a completely unrelated game. And yet still games are thought of as the lesser artform!Д¬an someone explain to me why anyone would want to make a new Sonic The Hedgehog game in the style of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild? Those two games have absolutely zero in common, so where on earth did that idea come from? I get that Breath Of The Wild was successful but so are a lot of games, so why pick on that one? Is it just because it helped reboot a famous franchise? Maybe, but Zelda wasnвЂ™t exactly coming off 20 years of trash when Breath Of The Wild came out, so thatвЂ™s not a match either. The Disney+ ones are being shoved out so quickly thereвЂ™s just no thought or effort, or artistry, going into them. Also, Squadrons has better space battles (there are hardly any in the shows) and Battlefront has better effects in general.Д®A may be slow to pump out their Star Wars games but at least theyвЂ™re worth waiting for when they come out. Even just that little tutorial-ish bit at the beginning of the Fallen Order, as you platform around the breakers yard, was more visually interesting than anything in a Disney+ show has done so far. It will be a more sober presentation, something in the style of the Nintendo Treehouse of previous editions of E3.ItвЂ™s a disappointment but itвЂ™s made me realise that games can do everything these shows do and more.

In addition, as we learned a few days ago, things will not end on Sunday, as Microsoft has announced an Xbox + Bethesda Showcase Extended next Tuesday, also starting 1:00 PM ET. Those who could surprise us are Machine Games, creators of the latest Wolfenstein games, and who have confirmed their presence, so it would not be surprising if they bring us the third installment. It is too early to know if there will be new samples of games already in development but in an early stage, such as Avowed, the RPG from Obsidian, or Everwild, the new game from Rare, who are still busy bringing new content to Sea of Thieves, as well as Fable by Playground Games. Another game delayed until next year that should also make an appearance is Redfall, by Arkane Studios, creators of Dishonored, Prey and Deathloop.
