Takashi Iizukahas revealed that the core Sonic team is currently working on a brand new Sonic title for unspecified platforms. The game will retain the original Sonic look and the mechanics we’ve grown to love over the years and will be showcased later this year.

“At the moment, the core Sonic team at SEGA is working on a new title that will use the traditional look and mechanics of the series, which will get more details later during the year.”

“At the same time, Big Red Button, an entirely new studio, is working on a new version of the entire game universe, called Sonic Boom, which will use an entirely new aesthetic and is designed to accompany the delivery of a new range of toys and a new cartoon series.”

Alright!

 

 

weather this means sonic 5 or another game like sonic colors, im optimistic and cant wait till E3! i hope this game rox! ^_^

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!! I'm interested in Sonic Boom and everything, but for the love of god, I ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE SONIC TEAM STEP IT UP!!!!! 

Still interested in Sonic Boom, but this new sonic game is said to retain original look... Sounds like either Sonic 4, episode 3, or Sonic 5, or something entirely new.

 

I hope for another sonic riders game. That was fun in my past (Sonic Free Riders sucked in my opinion).

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!! I'm interested in Sonic Boom and everything, but for the love of god, I ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE SONIC TEAM STEP IT UP!!!!! 

Eh after Sonic Lost World I'm assured the geezers at Sonic Team won't change or step it up,they're like Toriyama and his team in Square Enix

 

Just let us give Big Red Button a chance as since those are former Naughty Dog developers they're more dedicated to introduce something great instead of rehashing Green Hill Zone clones for the 100th time like Sonic Team

Not everything Sonic Team has dished out has been predictable, terrible, or even predictably terrible, but they have kind of dug themselves back into a rut after just getting out of one after 5 years of trying to get out of it. I would like to see what an outside SEGA affiliate would do to freshen up the franchise a little bit, but I am really eager to see what the next Mainstream Sonic title is. Sonic Team may have given me Sonic 2006, but they also gave me Sonic Unleashed two years afterwords. After something like Sonic Lost World, I am hoping that the next title will capture me in a great way similar to how Unleashed did, only in it's own unique twist. I'm not a Sonic Team loyalist or anything, I've just grown accustomed to the main branch of the franchise. I'm interested in this new direction, but I want to stick to my roots as well. I'm perfectly content with having both. :sleep:

Lost World was just average....not bad...but so average that I don't care about it's existence

 

 

I just don't care what Sonic Team is gonna produce:It's probably gonna be another title named : Sonic(insert subtitle here) and they're gonna abuse the Hedgehog engine AGAIN as if they didn't use it too much enough,generic plot with either against Eggman or Sonic Vs an ancient monster,first stage is a Green Hill clone with checker boards,only Sonic is playable,characters other than Sonic,Tails Eggman will be irrelavent,Sonic beats Eggmanancient monster....the end

 

Or they're gonna make Sonic Generations 2 so they can milk nostalgia again

Okay, first off, that's how every title has been named, same thing goes for Mario, Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, and almost every other video game series that comes to mind. Second, Lost World DID NOT use the Hedgehog Engine, they used a different one because they wanted the game to move at 60 frames per second. Third, Lost World was not average, it wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't average. It was slightly below average, a C- game. Fourth, those Hedgehog Engine games were when the series was just starting to pick up again, but vaguely experimenting with Lost World brought them back into a rut. And Fifth, they have broken from that cycle you are speaking of 3 years ago. I know it must seem cool to you to bash on SEGA and Sonic Team because everyone else does it, but if you're going to do it, try not use things that people are okay with as support for your argument. I will say this though, Lost World definitely had WAY too much nostalgia for a new game. After Sonic 4 Ep. I, Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations, and Sonic 4 Ep. II, by the time Lost World relied on Genesis nostalgia, the nostalgia movement kind of overstayed it's welcome. Generations really should have been the last time we focused on the old days until the next anniversary title or so.

WHAT THE HELL???

 

I've been a Sonic fan ever since the release of Sonic 1 and I don't bash the series for the reasons you've said,I bash it when it lacks quality like the Sonic 4 games and Lost World

 

I never bashed a game cuz people think it's cool to do so,What's with this assumption with the Sonic fanbase that if a game got criticized they accuse people of doing it for the sake of hating

 

I loved many Sonic games heck I loved,the Genesis games,the Adventure games, Sonic & The Secret Rings and even Sonic Riders Zero Gravity,but the series hasn't been the same ever since Shadow The Hedgehog(I hate that game so much)and Sonic 06 (the worst game I've played in my life)

 

Please for the love of God try to ask me and try to know even a little about before accusing me of being a hater

WHAT THE HELL???

That.

 

I only bash a game if I really have to (I'm looking at you, E.T for the GBC)

 

In topic: I'm not sure if I should put my hopes up for Episode 2 of Sonic 4, or a Sonic Adventure 3.

But as long as the game's fun, I won't mind

Is miss the old sonic games those where fun, these new ones aren't fun at all.

Sorry about that. I've been spending a lot of time on the Sonic news forums, it's very easy to assume that anybody is just saying something to be hostile. Anyway, I understand you're feelings, but I prefer to have faith in Sonic Team up until the point where they disappoint me, and then the cycle just sort of resets. I don't like getting hung up over something like them "failing to deliver" and letting it define my experience with the franchise. I just think that those things that you pointed out before aren't really worth criticizing. I don't think the content is worth criticizing, I think that the quality of said content is what's truly worth criticizing. That formula you just described works well for games like Sonic Adventure and Sonic Unleashed because the quality of how they were handled was excellent, whereas for other games like Sonic 2006 and Sonic Lost World, the quality wasn't all that good. If something is the same, to me it doesn't matter, as long as it is good. I welcome anything different, so if they took a break from that formula, I wouldn't mind all that much either. But if the quality of that formula gets weaker and weaker over time, or even just stagnates, it's easier to notice how repetitive it is, and even easier to see how weak in quality it is. Sonic Boom as I see it is a blank sleight, there's no telling what the formula is going to be since it isn't Sonic Team who's driving it. The next Main Sonic title is a blank sleight as well, though it has a little more probability of following a formula. If they reuse anything, I'll be okay with it, as long as the quality is enough for it not to feel redundant. But if it's anything new, then I hope the same thing, because experimentation has both it's good side and it's bad side, and Lost World certainly showed that. Sorry if I irked you in any way.

I don't mind if something was a little samey as long as it's good ...heck I'm a fan of Megaman so that isn't a huge issue for me

 

My issue with Sonic Team however is that when they do the same thing they never correct the old hiccups that were found in previous games.

 

The reason I thought Sonic Team would write such a story because.....that's been the story ever since SA1...Either Eggman's poor attempt to take over the world or he awakens a monster beyond his control

 

The reason I loved the Sonic Boom reveal so much is that it looked fresh,new and innovative.It was something I haven't seen in a Sonic game for a long time...Sure the main enemy is still Eggman(Btw I'm a huge fan of Dr Eggman) but everything else was fresh and new

 

Also,I'm tired of the fact that Sonic was the only one playable ever since The Secret Rings and Unleashed,which is another reason why I liked Sonic Boom because I can play as Tails,Knuckles and even Amy(a character that they made good change for her when I used to hate her guts)...not just Sonic

 

I hope that Sonic Team's next attempt isn't another Sonic is alone playable game

Well, I agree with most of what you said (only I've always liked Amy). If Sonic Team were to use their winning formula again though, I would appreciate some changes, such as having a much more decent storyline, going for different twists (Eggman doesn't summon an ancient powerful god on purpose this time), Sonic is the main highlight, but other playable characters can be unlocked over time, and they would make the game a much longer experience (too many of these games can be finished within 3-5 hours!), and of course they iron out all of the bugs from their previous titles. I'm extremely eager for something as radically different as Sonic Boom, but I love that I still have equal access to the familiar that I've grown to love.

sonic 5

Shut up...don't give Sega any ideas

Let's just pretend that trainwreck Sonic 4 never happened and stop tarnishing the legacy of the classic Genesis Games with shitty sequels

I woundn't mind an other "boost to win" Sonic game,I had a lot of fun with Unleashed,Colors and Generations and to me that gameplay never gets old. I also wouldn't mind something like Sonic Adventure. I wouldn't mind Sonic 4 Ep 3,but it would probably be just as disappointing as episode 1 & 2.And I hope its noting like Sonic Lost World. That game look so bland and uninspired,I really hope they move on to something else.

Lost World was so average which made it forgettable,I've beaten the game in 5 hours and went back to Mario 3D World for the rest of November,December and January and only went back to Lost World for the free Hyrule DLC....that's it.

 

 

Sonic Team should really move on and try something fresh if they don't want BigRedButton to be in charge of the franchise in case Sonic Team failed again

I really wouldn't mind if Sonic Team wouldn't work on Sonic Games anymore but BigRedButton ain't the answer

From what I've seen of Sonic Boom it's goddamn awful

 

Just put Christian Whitehead(The Taxman) and Stealth in charge and hire some employees they want and make a Sonic Game

If anyone knows what makes a Sonic Game good it's people from SonicRetro

 

Goddammit...I still dream that Sega would release a patch to change the current Sonic 4's Name into something else and then Making a Real Sonic 4 which would be worthy of being the sequel to the best game in the series...won't happen tho

I won't judge Sonic Boom until I play it or full demo of it...you don't know if Sonic Boom is awful or not unless you've traveled to the future

 

From what I've seen from Sonic Boom it looks promising,it looks fresh,new and it stays away from most of the f*** ups Sonic Team made in the past generation

 

You can't judge a game based on few clips of it....and we haven't even seen the 3DS version yet or a full episode of the new show

 

I'll hold my judgement until they release a playable demo

I judged Sonic 4 based on 3 seconds of gameplay and it turned out to be awful

 

Sonic Boom reminds me of Sonic Heroes and no that's not a good thing...at all

And the new character designs are even more horrendous then the usual modern ones

I can't see anything to be excited about Sonic Boom personally

 

I'd like this franchise to be dead already as much as I love the Genesis games...I don't think Sonic will ever reach those heights again sadly

Won't happen though...I'll just have to sit and watch as they destroy this franchise more and more

From what I've seen,Boom looks NOTHING like Sonic Heroes as you don't switch between characters or use them the same way as heroes in fact from what I've seen in the developer interviews is different.

 

Also,really?character designs is a game ruining thing?Are we delving into green eyes long legs territory again?Sure Knuckles looked like he's on steroids but I got used to him and one character won't ruin the whole game for me until I try a demo

 

Tails look exactly the same but with tools which makes sense since he's a mechanical expert,the change for Amy was much appreciated by me considering that I hated her guts in previous games,and Sonic's blue arms and scarf is normal to me

 

Also,I'm not a nostalgia blind,Sure I love and adore the Genesis games but I gave later games in the series a chance.Heck Sonic Adventure 2 is my favorite Sonic game and I know you'll tell me how awful my choice is but I don't care

The Character Design change just gives me the idea that this team has no clue what they're doing with Sonic(not that I'd blame them tbh since Sonic is tough to figure out how to be good in 3D).Tails looks even worse and even more of a Nerd then he already was(in fact he hasn't looked respectable since the Classic Series his Modern Design always made him look derpy and I hated how the Adventure Series made his personality insecure when he was a badass in Sonic 2 and 3 and saved Sonic multiple times before...and he even had his Super Form with his Flicky Army of Death which was awesome...so why the hell make him insecure in SA1...it makes no sense...Tails was a strong character ever since he was introduced)...Amy looks slutty in the redesign(but they should just drop Amy altogether...ugh)

The main problem I have with these redesigns are they're wearing so many stupid accessories...like the bandages and shit...and yes Knuckles looks stupid...this is the kind of character redesign I would expect from some Deviantart User not professional artists who work in the Industry

 

Come the firetruck on...putting the Modern Design in Sonic 4 was a slap in the face to many people when they saw the title "Sonic the Hedgehog 4"(though in hindsight since Sonic 4 sucked I'm glad the Classic Design wasn't in it) and then rubbing salt to Injury they put Classic Sonic in Generations

 

And Sega trying to convince us that the Classic Series links with the Modern Series makes no sense at all since if Sonic 4 happened before Sonic Adventure why the hell is Sonic even taller in Sonic 4 then in Sonic Adventure....and the fact that both Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic are 15 years old as stated on their respective manuals says it all

 

So as far as I'm concerned the Original Series and the Modern Series(Adventure-onwards) are on a whole different universe(and to me Sonic is a whole different character from Modern Sonic...kinda like Megaman/X)

But what can you expect from Sonic Team when they were trying to convince us that Sonic's Story and Knuckles Story in S3&K happened at the same time lol(which makes no sense at all)

 

That is an awful choice(I don't get the popularity of SA2 tbh...it's a bland game at best...not great,not horrible...sometimes ok....sometimes awful)...though not as bad as Sonic Unleashed or Sonic '06(yes there are "people" out there who enjoy Sonic '06...ugh)

SA2 had some good parts but also some really shitty ones(Knuckles/Rouge levels,Tails in mech(I didn't mind Robotnik on Mech cuz it made sense))...the level designs were more linear than in SA1 but I loved Final Rush(even though most of it was grinding on rails)...that's like the closest Level Design I've seen to the Genesis games in 3D

But the game has alot of problems...introduces some characters I don't care for(Rouge,Shadow and GUN Soldiers),the game's artstyle starts to be more realistic(which is a downfall from the art style in SA1),story is awful and wants to make me puke(same as in SA1),you fight a generic monster at the end(same as in SA1),turns out Robotnik has a grandfather who tried to destroy the world(which is pointless as all hell) and lastly Cannon's Core and Mad Space can go firetruck themselves

 

The way I would describe SA2 is a very disjointed and inconsistent experience...I could go on and on about what I don't like about SA2(and any Sonic game in General) but this post is already long enough as it is...all in all SA2 just isn't that much fun for me to replay and that's a huge flaw in a Sonic Game

The controls are okay(mostly for Sonic/Shadow),Music is great(yes even the horrible rap I enjoy for some reason),playing as Dr.Robotnik is cool(at least as a novelty) but that's about it I guess...still think it's worse then SA1...the Sonic Stages in that game were consistently better,the Knuckles levels were far more tolerable,the Tails levels were actually fun cuz you get to fly around(even though it sucks you're constantly forced to race and have no time to explore),Gamma levels aren't as long.Amy and Big suck but their story is far more shorter than Knuckles/Rouge so it's not too bad in comparison and the Music in SA1 is even better than in SA2

Overall the Adenture Series is a very mixed bag....and I prefer Sonic Advance 1 over them both

You sir and all of this long and unnecessary post of rage and blind judgement are a representation of why I hate the Sonic Fanbase so much.

 

My taste,my choice that is what I enjoy

I love how you basically read 3 lines of my post and not the whole post

Is that what people do nowadays? OK suit yourself

I wasn't raging though but I guess you didn't read my post at all and you just read some sentences...I was just going full on Sonic Nerd/Fanboy Mode...but whatever

You getting offended by my post is the most ridiculous thing of all...how you could get offended by an insignificant thing like that I have no Idea

 

The FF and KH Fanbases aren't any better...in fact most Fanbases suck...the only legit good fanbases you'll find out there are Fanbases about Games with Cult Following

Fanbases of Popular Series always suck

 

I don't associate myself with that Garbage Fanbase btw...most Sonic Fans out there are furries...and the ones that aren't still buy the games and support this series no matter what(even if it turns out they dislike the game) which is something I'm against

I'm not a Fanboy of this series(or any series in general) despite how much I could praise the good games in the franchise

I like some games in the Sonic series and hate alot of them...thought Sonic had a huge potential at some point of time but crashed and burned pretty fast...it's a shame that Crash and Spyro are dead while Sonic gets to live on churning awful/average game after awful/average game
