Johnny vs. Freedom Planet 

Sids MyName And people say all Sonic OCs are terrible

Pretty much.

Sids MyName *insert joke about sonic forces*

A demo was in SAGE once.

J Jubilee *cough, cough* sonic forces! *Cough.*

+Morphletov (Lethal League is forever rip to me :C) ME TOO!

+Morphletov (Lethal League is forever rip to me :C) That's how I felt. It's a cheap and archaic way to increase difficulty that needs to die IMO.

And it's easier on the dveloper :D

morp Gotta go fast!

And the Sonic game we deserved.

OmegaArte idk I think and know we need and deserve sonic adventure 3 with the adventure formula

***** I can't do that because somehow I never played that.... is it worth my time?

Jerseyboy KYLE It already exists, it was released in 2006...

Freedm planet wasn´t the sonic game we needed, Freedom Planet IS the sonic game we need.

+SlyBiffrons Same to me. I always found cool when stories with light-hearted setting/artstyle included dark/mature themes.

usually when a game is lighthearted In visuals and story. the dark moments get even more intense

jrpludacrous See Cave Story for another example.

SlyBiffrons or Wind Waker and the Mother series

Me too! Sorry for being late to the party, but I especially like it when the dark tones come DIRECTLY from the villain's influence, regardless of whether they have a point. Like how the war, lilac's torture, and the snapping scene were directly because of brevon; and in other cases, like Shen in KFP2, The cluster in steven universe, The x in metroid fusion, and so on.

I totally agree with you on such a topic, and I personally think that the cutscenes with voice-acting make the characters feel more fleshed out and appealing while also giving them lots of personality.

I felt like I was watching a movie. And I only saw playthroughs of the game!

Don't be simple

"Did you get gypped by Sonic Boom? Well, here's a game to make you feel better!"

Man I feel that so much. Tired of playing Sonic 3 when I want to play a good Sonic game.

Smug Sneasel "None of the terribly divided, petty, and generally fickle, Sonic Fanbase!" You sure? I'd imagine the Sonic fanbase are the kind of people who would play this most, then just keep rubbing it in Sonic's face that they, the fans, can do better than Sega.

vgamemaster4 except freedom planet has been out since. . . like july

***** yeah that's basically what happened.

OMG! I never saw it like that.

Bruh

oh yeah, i cant wait

@@yourehereforthatarentyou ow

@@koopatroopa3164 Still ow

+Marcello Silva Probably a bunch of trolls who create fake accounts who lie but like the game and maybe some fans from the sonic fanbase (though I'm not sure what is comprised of now).

Delawrence Perkins Why they do that?

+Marcello Silva For the lolz i guess. Doesn't change the fact that the game is awesome.

Delawrence Perkins Ok. That just makes me sad.

+Marcello Silva Freedom Planet is awesome for its similar to Sonic and I would never mock it or call it stupid. But for those who call it stupid or mock it probably never gave it a chance by trying it out. Darn pity of those idiots.

I wouldn't say something is seriously wrong. It's just a new phase in video gaming. Indie gaming has been around for a long time now, and indie gaming is essentially fans making games.

***** Go look up Sonic Before the Sequel, Sonic After the Sequel, and Sonic Worlds. They are all really amazing 2d fan made games built using their own engine.

***** To each their own. They are still much better then Sega's attempts at classic Sonic with episode 4.

shadowspider9 And without Sonic1-3&Knuckles, this game wouldn't exist.

shadowspider9 So Sonic World and Sonic Robo Blast 2 are better than Sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World.*No*. Heck i'd go and call Sonic 4 ep 2 better than Freedom Planet.No I'm not joking.

Oh hello, i didnt think id see you in a place like this

Terraria veteran :O

Now you're talking my language

Finally, someone who has an idea! (take notes sega)

But that would have to take Lilac into the 3D era. They haven’t made any 3D Models for Lilac yet, so it would take a long while.

After being disappointed by the majority of new fighters that have become available in "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" via DLC, I would definitely love to see Lilac as a playable character, especially if everyone else has become aware of Freedom Planet's existence.

UltimateAnimeGamer I noticed, I just didn't make the comparison.😅

Fun fact. When this was still in the "Sonic Fangame" Stage, Eggman (Robotnik) Was intended to be the main villain before Freedom planet became it's own IP.

Lol, that's one of the first things Lewis said in the Brainscratch commentary of the game XD

And his body looks like Sigma from Mega Man X.

I said the same thing lol

fug figgen FREEDOM PLAAAANEEEET

fug figgen I know what you mean. Every one of those videos was just HYPE HYPE HYPE :D

fug figgen Funny how things turn out. When I first saw the game on sale on Humble Store, its thumbnail image immediately sort of interested me but also turned me off to it because of anthropomorphic animals. Then, a few months, one preview video by Slowbeef and one let's play by Best Friends later, I ended up with two copies of the game.

+fug figgen VIDEO GAMES!!!

+Vanishing Point Same thing kinda happened to me with Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. I looked at it, I thought "oh this is a fan service game," saw some reviews on it, got it, and now the game kicks my ass repeatedly. Video games.

And now the game will not be underrated :P

Sorry lol Didn't help that I gifted it to him during the Sonic-a-thon lol

Regardless now this game will get a much needed look at by many other people :P

That was the goal lol Having been part of the testing crew it warms my heart to see the game grow!

***** I was not expecting you here.

Think is, what Sonic Team did is wrong, they know it's wrong, yet they'll probably do that again anyway.

Ivan Simpson Well I must correct my statement: Sonic Team did not create either of the Boom games. Their last mistake was Lost World.

Nonononono. No You know what the cure is? Sticking to one gameplay type and not trying to change it radically. Think about a moment. Sonic Unleashed: Daylight sections are fun, Nighttime sections are stupid. ----> Sonic Colours: A good sonic game, with problems, but they get there. ----> Sonic Generations: WOOOOOOHHHHH, BEST SONIC GAME IN YEARS ----> Sonic Lost Worlds: They changed everything and now it's bad

Nightdotexe yeah. Generation's/Colors/Unleashed regular gameplay + a MOTHERFUCKING "CHARACTER SELECT" SCREEN = Good Sonic game

Muffin Man What this proves is that traditional sonic essentially does not work in 3D. Which is why all the 3D games can never stick to one gameplay style. Sonic Team are just throwing shit at a wall & seeing what sticks at this point...

Same here every time I watch this I go straight to 4:05 XD

Best part of the whole video

That was damn near traumatizing when he cut to it. Like Christ almighty, she's getting the... er... purple shards(?) tortured out of her and judging by those horrific screams is in excruciating pain too. I thought this game was going to be mostly lighthearted so seeing that just shocked me, no pun intended.

@@sirbirbton I swear I thought no one noticed that and the only thing in my mind was "wtf johnny".

@@sirbirbton I assumed they were scales bc she’s a dragon

James.H. It’s on switch

Lila for smash 😄

+Supercreeper101 no dip sherlock

5 years later, but it's almost time. Freedom Planet 2 is coming out this Spring. So uh... within the next 3 months. Hopefully, it will have been worth the weight.

King knight could use his shovel in the pole vault event.

***** King Knight doesn't have a shovel. He has a scepter.

Shovel Knight and this being the new Mario and Sonic? That's the greatest joke I've heard! XD I get it! Sonic and Mario are the most popular/recognized characters in gaming while Shovel Knight and Freedom Planet are 2D sprited games that are just shit! Bravo! Best joke! 100/10! Really made me laugh! XD

DR_LaZer Freedom Planet isn't popular enough.

MrKockNoker IT WILL BE!!!

well he does now.

@@armae1497 *literally commented on something from 6 years ago*

No more Cooties meme. 😢

aww but that scene was cute :,(

Joseph Cross I found that part to be a surprising character moment for Carol. It's awkward, but it reminded me that she's just a twelve-year-old girl with the weight of the entire world on her shoulders. Throughout all of the chaos, I forgot that for a little bit, as if she was somewhat older because of what they were going through. She's mature for her age, but at the end of the day she just wants to be a kid.

Jared Groebner exactly! also, characterization is one of the most important requirements in any adventure game! for me, that part should had stayed.

Eh. If I wanted to rewatch it, I'd watch it on RU-vid or play an earlier version of the game.

I was actually able to play the game on the Nintendo Wii U, which is how I was able to find out about "Freedom Planet" when it came out.

The last "Sonic" game was not supposed to play like a "Sonic" game because it was purposely meant to be a redirection of the series, and this was known to the public from pretty much the start (which still doesn't stop it from being bad).

Caleb Jaaniste Exactly.

Leopold Litchenstein Yeah but still this is what Sonic Boom should of played like. I mean this game has exploration, combat, speed, and platforming!

Mike Anthony And now it's killing the franchise.

Leopold Litchenstein If the next sonic game goes bad like Sonic Boom then sonic is DEAD.....Or he ends up working for Nintendo (which a lot of people want Nintendo to do)

IKR XDD

Jhonny: okay I think thts enough fun(turns. On tazer)

XDDD PERFECT

It was hilarious.

Shocking, isn't it?

Also give Shovel knight a shot, THAT game is amazing.

Haha wow! I just talked to you on SevenWebHead's channel about Spider-Man :P

***** I'm told that I'm everywhere. I'm more common than you think. :P

To be honest, I liked shovel knight, but I kind of find its praise........over rated. Now, before you come at me with fire and rage, I like shovel knight, I just think its not that special. Also, some games you can try out, Don't starve, with the dlc reign of giants. And my pick for Indy game of the year, the binding of Isaac rebirth. I love the original Isaac and the remake is amazing!

computermonster1 I wish i can play the remake but the game always crashes on my laptop, oh well at least there is the original

I hope so too :D

It'd be nice, but the engine the game's built in [Clickteam Fusion 2, with the Sonic Worlds libraries] isn't very fond of systems that aren't PC. It would require a LOT of restructuring to get to work.

Toxic Atom so, in other words, mac users got fucked AGAIN! Seriously, what is everyone's deal with developing shit to work on macs? It's not like they just don't exist, people. There are people who like using a mac more than a PC. Stop fucking ripping us out of amazing shit like this gem of a game and give us the same love and treatment too.

vgmaster02 No, it's because Clickteam Fusion was the most accessible engine. It's not because they hate macs, it's because they'd have to give it the same amount of work as they would to make it run on consoles.

Toxic Atom oh, so sorry. i guess they don't want my money after all. Looks like we won't be seeing a sequel if all the mac and console users can't buy this game because whoever made this game was too fucking lazy to just put in that extra time to make the game accessible on ALL platforms! Seriously, I am fucking beyond pissed off now with mac users, ME INCLUDED, not getting the same treatment that the pompous PC users are getting. I'm sorry, but why should I have to spend almost $500 just to get a damn computer that can play games I want to play when my mac is working just fine and can handle games just as well as PCs can? It's not fucking fair and I am fucking fed up now with always, ALWAYS, getting the short end of the stick, if any part of the stick at all! Do you want my money or not, developers? If you don't want my money, then fine, I'll just spend it towards companies like Nintendo who actually know how to develop shit for stuff I actually fucking own!

i got the game on release day, and let me tell you, the stages are childsplay compared to the bosses. there is a reason the death system is so relaxed and inconsequential. its because you will be dieing. a lot. at least for a while untill you learn their extensive, and hard to predict patterns.

It def. is. I suggest if you don't like the idea of long cutscenes, roll with classic. You're not missing much.

Dude this has become one of my favorite games ever, very fast. You NEED this game

09Thewilson Well, you all convinced me. Now i have something to do at the Weekend

if you're not into paying full-price, they have a 2-stage demo on the official site for free download.

I beat Adventure Mode with Lilac a few days ago and now I'm playing as Carol (with plans for a Milla and Neera playthrough afterward, both on Adventure Mode because I want to see if they have exclusive cutscenes), FP2 is shaping up to be my GOTY and will possibly take over the first game as my favourite indie title.

Huh, I actually prefer that old design.

Nice! You can't go wrong with platformers. Lol.

wtf 15$ for an effing sandwich,sounds like the worlds second biggest rip-off.(first is sonic boom lol)

If you think thats bad then put any non pokemon monster tamer game in front of (most) pokemon fans and see how they'd react, they effectively have an iron grasp over an entire genre (mobile games dont count, with the exeption of the nexomon games that is)

+HATE NEWSPAPERS i think because its sonic-like people will stray away from it

It's a pretty extreme exaggeration to say such a simple and somewhat unoriginal game, is better than every Sonic game that succeeded Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Why does this game encourage so much hate against Sonic. Sonic's quality didn't take a serious nosedive until 2006.

It came out around the time Sonic Boom came out. And that was after the mediocrity that was Lost World. It kept the soul of the original Sonic while Sonic himself just kind of... lost his way. It was never bashing Sonic on purpose, but it came out at the perfect time to fill the niche that Sonic himself was supposed to be occupying. The fact that the game just had a passion that seemed to be lacking in Sonic games at the time sealed the deal.

King Arthur Except this is amazing.

Isaac Argesmith yea

King Arthur When you use fan characters for good instead of evil.

Michael Kemel True

I juste hope it won't become like the Sonic fandom

Yup, Johnny cleared that with us :P

Ghostx2xElite We meet again.

Shilvman789 😑😏 YEAH!

If your computer can watch a youtube video it can probably run this game

Im on the mobile version..

Toxic Atom Some people just want to get the most out of their dedicated console and it would be nice to have this on a TV with a controller (I know you can use a controller on a computer but still) or portable and on the go. I don't know why, but I can't get into PC gaming, I have games for the PC but I just revert back to my PS3 or 3DS for some reason, I figure because PC is just an uncomfortable middle ground for me where I don't get to have the full laid back ease with a large television of a console or the nice portable format of the 3DS (at least without spending quite the sum of cash) whilst the PC (or Laptop in my case) has a medium sized screen and I have to sit in a chair or lay down with it on my lap on the bed when I play it with a keyboard (I have an old mac so controllers are a bit of a pain to run) so I guess that could be a better explanation as to why people may want something on the Eshop of xbox live arcade rather than Steam. Or they use the mobile version of RU-vid like the guy above me.

James Bigglesworth You can always try to plug your PC to the TV and get wireless mouse and keyboard. But having the game on the go is an idea I support, many games in my steam library would be far better if it was on my 3DS. Though these are not Steam games, Sonic After the Sequel and MegaMan Unlimited are 2 games I really wish to play on my 3DS.

James Bigglesworth If you plug a controller into your PC and plug your PC into the TV, then there you go. PC gaming is wonderfully flexible.

ThePrinceOfSaiyajins Oh man, look up a cutscene for this game. Let me just say Johnny was way too kind to the story.

pikafan8 I watched the video, so I'm aware of that. That doesn't negate the problems I have with the designs of the characters though.

BUT MILLA IS SO ADORABLE

What's wrong with the character designs?

AfroWarrior27 They're too "cutsie" I guess.

This is nowhere near as DA as Dust: An Elysian Tale. Both are great games, though.

***** Plot twist: it's actually a different Chase every time, we just all have the same profile picture. :3

Funny thing is, you can find the creators of the art on DeviantArt

Agreed, after all, "The Legend of Zelda" and "Final Fantasy" ARE known for their fast paced platforming action, after all.

@@ShockHat734 Um, those aren't platforming games at all.

@@sonicmario64 What? Impossible! Nonsense! What video game genre would you consider them to be then?

@@ShockHat734 "The Legend Of Zelda" is an action-adventure series that involves a lot of puzzle-solving and enemy-slashing while "Final Fantasy", on the other hand, is an RPG series with slow-paced and grindy gameplay that everyone seems like when it comes to those sort of games for whatever reason.

​@@sonicmario64 Really? I had no idea!! Don't those slower paced games tend to be more story based than traditional platformers, which almost always focus on gameplay over story??

You want to know why sonic forces was critcsize by short levels and the details are dall

I agree, I think he should also review Before the sequel, chrono adventure, classic, axiom, and when their completed XG, Time Twisted, Edge of Darkness, Classic 2. I LOVE fan games since I'm a huge fan of Classic Sonic games. Sadly, its hard to find talented fan game makers like Lakefeperd. seriously who else has made three full fan games in 2 years?

I don't care how good Sonic After the Sequel is...I can't get past the fact that Sonic 3 was "Sonic After the Sequel". I know there's a tincy wincy bit of time between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 in which the Death Egg is falling and you could probably do some stuff in that time frame...but I don't know.

it does just look for the ost is on RU-vid I hope you like it is really fun

+Emel Montoya Bermudez which do you consider best?

+HueyGamingFreeman check aqua tunnel Jade Creek and all the boss themes are good my fave is boss 4

+Emel Montoya Bermudez Thanks!

+HueyGamingFreeman hope you like it!

You have no idea >.> You're in for the best experience the gaming industries have to offer....excluding Smash in this.

Brother Earl You're comparing a 2D game to a shitty 3D one?. Compare it to Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

If your computer can run Google Chrome it can run this game at 50FPS. Also, sorry, but I doubt it's getting a console release anytime soon.

It's confirmed for the Wii U, but they haven't confirmed nor denied other platforms.

hey speaking of freedom planet i did play the demo

Even if it is a terrible game, Sonic Boom is credited of being a spin-off. It's sure as hell NOT a main series game.

*****​ Sega confirmed that it was a spin off and part of the franchise. Just because it's "bad and boring" that doesn't mean it's not a Sonic game anymore. Please don't give me a "you're a dumba** because of this or that" type of comment because be realistic, I'm not being a dumba**.

SoratheHedgehog100 I wonder if SEGA is gonna give up on giving sonic new gameplay styles and just go back to regular speed and platforming that gave sonic his name.

Look and feel are two different things.

***** It's been out since July.

These days I'd say Sonic looks like Sonic but doesn't seem to want to be Sonic.
