I like how they didn’t change perspectives with these levels. They’re either completely 3D or completely 2D

Fun fact, 7 out of 9 levels on Ouranos Island are entirely original. You can really tell the difference in quality there.

Here's my suggestions for proper names for these stages: 1-1 - Green Isle 1-2 - Sanctum Stretch 1-3 - Astral Avenue 1-4 - Sunset Hill 1-5 - Chemical Factory 1-6 - Sprawling Hills 1-7 - City Sprint 2-1 - Bridge Heights 2-2 - Sanctuary Road 2-3 - Action Station 2-4 - Facility Highway 2-5 - Sky Climb 2-6 - Rail Spire 2-7 - Floating Runes 3-1 - Loop Rush 3-2 - Green Rock 3-3 - Sky Citadel 3-4 - Roundabout Railway 3-5 - Drifting Hills 3-6 - Ruin Run 3-7 - Chemical Chamber 4-1 - Metal Depot 4-2 - Manic Metro 4-3 - Chemical Core 4-4 - Skyline Heights 4-5 - Green Gorge 4-6 - Plant Pipes 4-7 - Nightside Run 4-8 - Obelisk Overhang 4-9 - Street Stunts

I love how the city levels are Empire City, City Escape, Radical Highway, and Crisis City elements all combined into one.

Cyberspace in frontiers is supposed be tailored to sonics memorys/past levels just a lil distorted, lost in time. But in a way they’re our memories too bc we’ve been here before, we’ve experienced a good amount of these levels. Going back thru them finding out what each level reminds of, what game their taken from will be fun to experience.

I love these levels so much.. the song gives me 2000s nostalgia and all that stuff floating in the background makes it feel like a dream I would have. It's beautiful

Anyone noticed at 5:10 (or green hill classic stage 1-6) The choppers jump out of non-existent water then Classic Chemical plant (stage 4-6) is devoid of any rising water hazard, when anyone who's played chemical plant knows it's a water hazard level given the levels are based on sonic's memories it seems he's repressed any memory of any water hazard at all!

It’s funny how all of cyberspace’s runtime is only 30 minutes short of all of the sonic forces stages

Biggest problem with these levels is that they're indistinguishable from each other. The aesthetics, the music, it all just blends together. They don't even have _names._ just numbers.

Cyberspace looks short but fun, looks lazy but visually stunning, looks repetitive but the music slaps and, overall, is good enough for have some good time.

Not as good as Unleashed, but surely fun ! In combinations with the open zones, and the great music, it's definitely one of the best sonic games in my opinion.

man I thought it was amazing some levels are inspired by Sonic generation levels in the classic and modern part I loved it because Sonic generation is the first game I played in my life

Fun fact: at 6:46 when you are in the tunnel it’s actually a reference to the first action stage on sonic adventure2

Here's each of the stages these are based on, assume all Unleashed level are day stages (will update once I figure more of these out): *Kronos* 1-1: Unleashed - Windmill Isle Act 1 1-2: Unleashed - Windmill Isle Act 2 (3D sections) 1-3: ??? (Original? Possibly.) 1-4: Generations - Green Hill Act 2 (3D sections) 1-5: Generations - Chemical Plant Act 2 (3D) 1-6: Generations - Green Hill Act 1 1-7: Adventure 2 - City Escape *Ares* 2-1: Generations - Green Hill Act 2 (2D) 2-2: Unleashed - Dragon Road Act 3 2-3: ??? (possibly based on Unleashed's Rooftop Run Act 1) 2-4: Adventure 2 - Radical Highway 2-5: Generations - Sky Sanctuary Act 2 (2D) 2-6: Adventure 2 - Sky Rail 2-7: Generations - Sky Sanctuary Act 1 *Chaos* 3-1: Adventure 2 - Green Forest 3-2: Unleashed - Savannah Citadel Act 1 (2D) 3-3: Generations - Sky Sanctuary Act 2 (3D) 3-4: Unleashed - Windmill Isle Act 3 3-5: Original (Shares similarities to Unleashed - Savannah Citadel Act 2) 3-6: Unleashed - Rooftop Run Act 2 3-7: Generations - Chemical Plant Act 2 (2D) *Ouranos* 4-1: Adventure 2 - Metal Harbor 4-6: Generations - Chemical Plant Act 1

I never hated a level more than 1-2 in this game. It's so hard to get the S rank

They should add an emerald coast cyberspace level if they ever do a dlc

I love how Green Hill, Chemical Plant, and Sky Sanctuary re-use assets and visuals from Generations

Hmmm. Stages and game play looks goods but... All I see is Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Sky Sanctuary and Speed Highway. I would hoped that frontiers would have variety levels than this. Hopefully if Sega have enough money to add DLC, add different stages like Roof Top, Planet Wisp, Dragon Road or other levels from classic Sonic games. I don't mind if the invisibility have been replaced while boosting. Perhaps while boosting Sega would've add a spin dash for limited time to plow off enemies. That should keep the action thrilling going. That's my only two concerns so far. It just my opinion

Let's see aside from the Generations and/or original versions of the four stages here, others I could find were: Metal Harbor Green Forest Radical Highway Sky Rail Savannah Citadel Dragon Road Possssibly sections that reminded me of Rooftop Run and Network Terminal but they didn't seem quite the same? Also may have missed a few others

29:35 I learned this after many failed attempts (and finally after watching this) : You IMMEDIATELY hit that X button the moment Sonic gets in that cannon, or it won't fire him high enough to reach the ledge... Thank you, Shadiochao, for this video.

If they would chain these together into full-length stages and sell it for $29.99 or less, I would buy this now.

People in the comments see original level design and level design used from Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Generations, and Sonic Adventure 2. After researching these games, I think I see why these 3 games were picked for level design. Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Generations had great 2D and 3D sections, and apparently they made the 2D and 3D sections separated. Sonic Adventure 2, while it didn't use this Boost formula, it still had levels where you went from A to B and it was more linear than other games. While it would be cool to see representation from a broader spectrum of 3D Sonic games, I don't see this happening because some 3D games I researched about aren't really built for this style. I do however wish that there were more level themes from the series (I'm especially hoping for the remaining themes from Generations) and the current themes we have in the base game had more "flare" I guess. Maybe tunnels in Chemical Plant? Maybe different weather in the stages for each theme? And also tune up Sonic's controls more without making him overpowered. Other than that, these are some critiques I have from what I've seen.

I find interesting how most of these level layouts are taken from Unleashed and the first 3 levels of Generations..... and then you have the Adventure 2 layout, which is the only game outside of the other two which layouts were taken, I wonder why

I hope they will add more cyberspace stages and new islands in next update!

7:18 you can hear sonic unleashed "cool"

Can you drop dash in cyberspace? It'd be nice if you could, since they nerfed boost so much. I really enjoyed spin dashing through enemies in the older sonic games. In the boost games, if you find yourself in front of an uphill slop or wall and your gauge is empty, you'd have to either go back and find some enemies, or start the whole level over if there are none; where as with the Genesis and Adventure games, you could just spin dash.

with the fixed cam, did they put a jet fly by sound effect for sonic? 30:47

All of these cyberspace levels can be S Ranked in under a minute if you're fast enough!

SONIC SKATEBOARD

Didn't get to play them myself, but they look kinda repetitive, yet fun somehow. Maybe that's what they were thought of: a short break from the open world. The only thing is that they seemed to lack creativity in importing the references, being limited to not only but mostly Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Speed/Radical Highway and Sky Sanctuary, aside from the original ones, which compose only a few. Hope they'll think about incrementing their diversity in a future DLC. Also, why the boost feels so lame here lol? It doesn't feel like he's boosting at all.

I think the SA2/Original stages really show that this format *can* work. Hope the next mainline game is a direct follow up to Frontiers.

Sonic games references : 1-1 Windmill Isle Act 1 (Apotos day) (Sonic Unleashed) 1-4 Green Hill zone act 2 (Sonic Generations) 1-5 Chemical Plant act 2 (Sonic Generations) 1-6 Green Hill zone (Sonic the Hedgehog) 1-7 City Escape (Sonic Adventure 2) 2-1 Green Hill zone act 2 (Sonic Generations) 2-2 Dragon Road Act 3 (Chun-nan day) (Sonic Unleashed) 2-4 Radical Highway (Sonic Adventure 2) 2-6 Sky Rail (Sonic Adventure 2) 2-7 I think this is Sky sanctuary act 1 (Sonic Generations) 3-1 Green Forest (Sonic Adventure 2) 3-2 Savannah Citadel act 1 (Mazuri day) (Sonic Unleashed) 3-3 Sky sanctuary act 2 (Sonic Generations 3-4 Windmill Isle Act 3 (Apotos day) (Sonic Unleashed) 3-5 Savannah Citadel act 2 (Mazuri day) (Sonic Unleashed) [I guess] 3-6 Rooftop Run Act 2 (Spagonia day) (Sonic Unleashed) 3-7 Chemical Plant act 1 (Sonic Generations) 4-1 Metal Harbor (Sonic Adventure 2) 4-6 Chemical Plant act 1 (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) That's all level I recognized. If I missed some, please tell me.

As much as i like Frontiers and as much as I think Cyberspace is pretty good, speedrunning these stages is pain compared to Generations. Cyberspace speedruns are basically "avoid game mechanics to go faster", homing attack slows you down, drifting in that one level slows you down, drop dash(created specifically to maintain momentum) ironically slows you down, everything

Homie why didn’t they make the themes based on the actual levels? It’s like mega lazy sonic generations 2

niceeee

all the cyberspace levels look like levels from other sonic games but a bit distorted

Care to make a video of all the Guardian Mini Bosses?

Only done first too. (Just brought it ) Quite fun. Still little gutted about short length but I like how it’s small “okay here’s normal sonic gameplay sprinkled in”. But yeah we need a break form greens hill after this game Controls really off to me at first too. Sonic feels so artificially slow just so we can’t clear them in like twenty seconds

I’ve been stuck on 3-6. Unless I am playing it wrong, I am having a real hard time completing the stage in 2:55. Damn.

how did they make boost gameplay slow? oh god I just want more good levels like unleashed or generations.

curiously it has 30 levels just like forces

I just feel like they are trying to do the same as sonic generations with these cyberspace levels I was expecting maybe something cool like longer tracks I always feel like they make the tracks so short

The Drum N Bass songs fits very well. But Jun Senoue pop rock still my favorite.

I find it funny that no one mentions that the red star rings placement it's most of the time pretty worthless since they are just lying out in the open or are require behind dummy easy challenges, without exploration or even a small sense of creativity.

to sum up: green hill zone, sky sanctuary, chemical plant, and maybe speed highway? serioulsy, that's it? different versions, different music, but the levels are far too short and far too samey. couldn't we have a city escape? a touch of sand ocean? perhaps the egg fleet? that one would have fit well, or twinkle park?

I'm surprised that they didn't add a sky sanctuary variant that was a original stage.

something i want to say is that this isnt the first time sega has reused level layouts, in sonic colors for the wii the game land levels all the (number)-1 levels are just the sonic 1 levels. with the water level there its really noticeable.

QTE: The Game

The shortest levels ever in the entire franchise

How to collect rings in air? I can't complete some missions

Honestly? I really love this video,why? Because it showed me something i wanted to confirmed,the cyberspaces are just a little extra,barely 5% of the entre game,so reusing stuff from the past and only 4 level theme's doesn't annoy me at all,because i don't have a reason to give a fuck about cyberspace in the first place besides getting vault keys quick XD

8:35 THE M WORD

El cyber Space es decepcionante

They should have did a mushroom hill cyber space stage

The most annoying thing about some of the cyberspace levels is that sonics boost doesn’t feel like a boost just a very slight increase in speed. Like having a fraction of bread, a paper thin piece instead of getting a full piece.

Didn’t IGN say in an interview that Rooftop Run would be a stage theme?

I boycotted it on release but now I was thinking wat happened to Sonic Frontiers I literally forgot about the game, ngl I hate the fact that there is no drift or sidesteps that's literally the best part

they should have kept the forces walljump, honestly it was better

I dunno about you guys, but it all looks like Green Hills, Chemical Plant, Speed Highway, and Sky Sanctuary to me.

Anyone here would rather play these levels than forces levels?

i do wonder why 2-4 (Radical Highway) and 2-6 (Sky Rail) are present here when they're shadow's levels. also why is 2-4 chemical plant and not speed highway?

Trying to S rank these levels made me realize just how incredibly flawed Sonic’s movement and physics are in Cyberspace It’s so weird because this shit want present in the overworld

I'mma Watch This Vid Multiple Time And List What Cyberspace Level Are Copy And Are Original

Wow, 1-3 looks so pretty. Thank god I have 27 GODAMN SCREENSHOTS OF IT, BECAUSE MY XBOX CONTROLLER DECIDED THE BOOST BUTTON SHOULD TAKE STEAM SCREENSHOTS ALL OF A SUDDEN, DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO PLAY A SONIC LEVEL WHILE TRYING NOT TO BURST OUT LAUGHING FROM THE STEAM SCREEN SHOT SOUND EFFECT PLAYING EVERY OTHER SECOND. IT'S REALLY HARD.

41:12 Sonic!?

I really hope in the Sonic frontiers sequel,all cyberspace levels' designs will be entirely original and not retreads of familiar levels from past 3d sonic games

Maybe the these are the only stages that matter to the story

Eh... The stages are pretty neat but man just not the same as the Adventure stages. I just love the music and way you can explore a stage in SA1 and 2, find hidden stuff etc. These are all so short. :( Not a buy for me

On steam on pc steam deck & xbox one

Im surprised a lot of ppl don't like frontiers.

No way Sonic Forces 2?!?!?! 😳😳😳

I wish the physics weren't so weird in cyberspace, the stages are actually incredible but the physics and sonic being slightly slower let's it down a lot

Seriously bruh all the level themes are reused from old boost games Green Hill - Sonic Generations Chemical Plant - Sonic Forces & Generations Sky Sanctuary - Sonic Generations City - Sonic Unleashed & Forces

Is it bad that I miss the Unleashed Boost style, where if you're not careful, you'll fall?

I hate 1-6

Seriously, couldn't they make more than 4 stage biomes that are just Copy+Paste of Generations/Forces?

Generations and unleashed are so much better

Que Geneal

Ash Ketchum: You Can Run Pokémon Worldwide Fans. But You Can’t Hide.

I'll pass on frontiers... I'm better off wait for next Sonic game to come out.

Wow, SEGA managed to make boost levels look slow. Even levels are just level layouts ripped from previous games and bonus stages. And I thought Forces was going downhill bad...

This makes the game look more clunky than I thought it was.

Definitely not a fan of the cyberspace stages especially the 2d ones but the original stages are cool ngl

The cyberspace level are horrible they only have 4 different types of stage design is being green hill zone, chemical plant, sky century, and city escape.

Is funny, now defeating the Badniks means NOTHING most of the time!!!

Sonic Heroes look more fun than this...

This is the worst part of this game.

Sonic team's creativity when designing cyberspace: Throw brain in trash Think of the good old day back when women didn't have right And think about green hill Chemical plant Sky sanctuary Road rails Forgot how to design a level since the brain is in trash Reused layout from sonic unleashed generation color and probably force Since they didn't have a brain to think of a new layout And boom this is how we got cyberspace

For some reason this game looks so soulless

looks uninspired... and soundtracks sucks
