Will it be "better than nothing" or broken beyond repair like the usual Sonic games?


Sonic The Hedgehog 06, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic The Hedgehog GBA & Rise Of Lyric weren't your usual Sonic games.

Sega has launched several new Sonic projects that disappointed. It is best that they don't make a big party out of any of them until after consumers give their opinions.


You mean the same ones that make the same argument that I mentioned in the above quote and whose criticism they took enough to heart that in 2010 they started the process of delisting (having them pulled from retail shelves) Sonic games that don't get strong scores on metacritic?

Which includes games like Unleashed.

They've reverted Sonic back to his previous design for this logo. I didn't dislike his new design (it's more or less the same) I just disliked Knuckles's new beefcake look.

If Sonic had time to make fun of MightyNo9 then I hope they have their stuff together to give us a good game. Battle 2 plot with Generations gameplay and graphics. Decent starting point.

With the Sonic Team being in charge of developing this new project, I have bit of hope that the game will be at least of good quality.

I would say that the Sonic Cycle begins again, but I think that people are beyond getting excited about Sonic at this point.

*fires up the old Megadrive and cries while remembering the good times from so long ago*

The Sonic Boom designs were never going to replace the designs that have been in place since Adventure.

I am probably the only one who wouldn't mind an anime based off of the Archie Comics. If done right and handled with care it could end up being a long running series for Sega.

You're not. In fact I'd go one step further and have the next video game be based on the Archie Comics. I'd so love to play as Sally or Bunnie if it'd ever be possible.

Sonic likes to go up and down in terms of quality games (or just popular, fun games in general, even if the quality isn't high). Sonic Adventure1 & 2 were popular and praised, as were some of the GBA games in the Gamecube remakes' era. Then came Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog and those storybook games and Sonic '06. Blegh... (though Sonic '06 is a guilty pleasure of mine, I can't say it was a "good" game either) But Unleashed was a bit better and Colors really hit another sweet spot, straight into nostagia-based Generations, which was also great. We got those classic callback games with Sonic 4 (what happened to that project, anyway?), too. And then... Sonic Lost Worlds and Sonic Boom happened... and... I mean... they were finally getting back on their feet...! Why, all of the sudden...? D:

I think it's about time for another high tide...

I can't speak for the others, but I remember buying it and then really struggling with it because of the simple decision to remove Sonic's inertia when moving. (I.E. when you let go of the controls, Sonic stopped immediately, whether he was jumping or not.) As such, I lost all sense of timing and precision when platforming, especially on the harder parts with the disappearing platforms. That one little change to the gameplay basically literally screwed up the entire game for me. So... needless to say, I didn't buy the next games in the series.

Maybe it will be Sonic the Geriatric and he and tails will go around the retirement home collecting prescription pills and defeating orderlies. Final battle will be Helga the head nurse.

Hopefully we're finally get a decent Sonic game for the first time in ages however I have my doubts. Confused
