Simply do it in an app

Again in my day, our 3D Sonic video games had Chao Gardens. OK, so perhaps it was solely actually for Sonic Journey 2, and anybody who was caught in that internet on the time simply eternally associates Chaos with Sonic (ha). To be truthful, they’ve appeared in numerous video games as mascots of types, and as a number of higher-ups in Sega have identified: they’re current in spinoffs like Group Sonic Racing. Sadly, Sonic Frontiers continues the pattern of not having an in-game Chao Backyard. However I believe it’s time to vary that.

I do know a few of you’re most likely sighing on the concept of digging up an outdated 3D Sonic pattern, however there’s a lot potential right here. Most individuals preferred the Chao Journey gimmick with the VMU, proper? Whereas not fairly a “backyard” per se, the concept of getting an entire additional sport inside a sport was thoughts blowing on the time. I imply, the VMU was approach forward of its time too, however studying that you just simply purchased Sonic Journey and acquired a free digital Tamagotchi pet was insane: and a part of the rationale why the Dreamcast earned its fame as a unusual and enduring console. All of that may be completed inside an app now, which may work together with any given future Sonic entry.

Funnily sufficient, producer for Sonic Frontiers, Takashi Iizuka, laughed when requested about Chaos earlier this yr. Sport Informer spoke to him with a “fast fireplace” query format, and requested “is there a Chao Backyard within the sport,” he replied firmly with a “no.” The subsequent fast fireplace query was “are Chaos simply extinct at this level?” which he additionally replied with “no,” whereas laughing. You could find that phase right here at this timestamp (4:50).
