Honestly Sonic Boom, as a concept, feels like Sonic Team generally shitposting about the formula of the Sonic franchise as a whole. Which, at this point, is probably the best way to go about it. After all, there really is no way to make Sonic feel "darker" than Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2's formula. It just isn't possible with the type of characters and locations the franchise offers.

Reminder that Sonic Team had no involvement with Sonic Boom besides Iizuka's supervision (and rejection of Big Red Button's more drastic redesigns). It was all Sega of America.
My optimal Sonic game would have the writing of Boom and the scope and setting of Colors/Unleashed.
Realistically we are at a point where there is no optimal Sonic game given the wildly different expectations from different corners of the fandom. Our only hope is that Sonic Team would stick to a direction instead of constant experimentation and trashing around. We can only go with the flow. Comedic, vivid worlds and boost Modern Sonic with a pinch of edginess would totally be up my alley, to be frank.
take that and then add in some kind of eldritch world-ending stakes and I'll be down with it
I would like a game that mixes stealth with speed myself, preferably with a darker take on the SatAM premise. Speaking of which, what are your favorite Sonic final boss themes?

Can't believe we still have to wait 10 more freaking months for the movie. Whether the movie is good or not, there's gonna be noise surrounding it, and it'll be good.

https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1085220454468472832 Yes, he's back again.
I forgot who I expected, but I welcome mister Z to the official "recurring characters" roster. Hope Sonic Team actually has some plans for him than just another henchman.
You know what I really can't wait for? The movie tie-in game.
dont get your hopes up
Waiting for the return of the TF2 characters.
Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie: The Game
I wonder if we'll ever throw the Wisps and Lost World into a casket and stop bringing that crap back after they've failed to use it well anymore. Just because Colors was received well doesn't mean the Wisps were worth anything to the series after that point, and they're one of the major points of contention with every game since besides Generations (and Spike sucked there too).
I'll be honest, I don't really see what Zavok adds to the Sonic character lineup in terms of personality.
Paramounts - Sonic The Hedgehog: The Official Game of the Movie
Look at the bright side, a beefy punching bag! yeah don't think a lesser Bowser is what the series needed.
Make the Zeti a neutral wild card party in future games. Just for a chance of Eggman's most badass line "As long as I can strangle me a Zeti, my hands are FINE" returning.
