Why did Sega constantly add a shit load of new characters with every game?
I would have preferred them to bring back characters like Mighty or Ray. I'm glad they brought back Vector, Charmy, and Espio though.
At least the characters from Sonic Heroes were actual characters from their comics or something, the rest are just random bullshit.
[b]Sega's To-do list[/b]
- [i]Get rid of Unwanted characters that make the 7 year old boy's cry (Rose,Amy,Shadow etc)[/i]
- [i]Get rid of Sonic's Voice.[/i]
- [i]Get rid of his shitty cocky nature he developed throughout the past games we've recently had.[/i]
- [b][i]Don't Fuck it up[/i][/b]
[QUOTE=gmaster;17215070]Hey sega! Wanna know where sonic went down the crapper?
Tag'd due to size.

Gee, for a game called "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG" it sure has a lot of other characters, nowadays.[/QUOTE]
The Simpsons has hundreds of characters and it's still a perfectly good- oh wait

What is this I don't even
I think that I, with no experience of creating games whatsoever, or pretty much anyone on facepunch, could make a good sonic game if they were consulted whenever sonic team had to make a choice.
"HEY GMASTER! WE HAVE THIS AWESOME IDEA FOR A WERE HO-"
[b]No.[/b]
"WE HAVE AN IDEA FOR A NEW CHARACT-"
[b]No.[/b]
"IT'S OBVIOUS THAT PEOPLE PLAYING SONIC WANT FIGHTING ACTIO-"
[b]No.[/b]
"Fuckit, it's kind of a long shot, but we thought we'd put some shit about him running and being fast or something"
[b]Do that one.[/b]
"oh okay"
"NEW SONIC THE HEDGEHOG GAME SCORES 97% ON METACRITIC!"
"CRITICS ARE SHOCKED"!
How to make a good sonic game:
Step 1: Include sonic, and maybe tails and knuckles, but [b] NOBODY ELSE[/b]
Step 2: Make sonic run fast, and build gameplay around that idea.
Step 3: Run with it (no pun intended)
The only possible good 3D one they could do would be Sonic Adventure Battle 3 (3 Battle?). But that's never gonna happen.
I'll pretend it's crap, so if it is, I won't be hurt again.

Sonic adventure 3 would be really good. Sonic adventure 2 was great... the bits with sonic at least...
Interesting fact time!
Michael Jackson was origanaly set to compose music for Sonic 3 but because of certain events surrounding MJ at the time he was booted off the project.
True Story.
I am tentatively incredibly excited.

Aye that's what I said but in a less monotone and slightly more interesting way.
Maybe if Sega wasn't a cesspool of shit and bad ideas run by smacktards who are cared for by depressed handlers then I might have even the slightest glimmer of hope.
I really loved Sonic Adventure Battle 3. I spent ages playing that game.

Except everything except running was complete and utter infuriating shit.

GOD DAMN KNUCKLES LEVELS.
Actually, they were even more annoying in Sonic Adventure 1.
I just remembered that Big the Cat came around when the series was still good.

Sonic DX's lip sync haunts me in my sleep.
In a perfect world, I imagine SEGA coming back with a Dreamcast 2.0 with a launch title Sonic game on the same caliber as Mario Galaxy, completely blowing everyone's minds and bringing Sonic back to respectable mascot status.
I can dream. :ohdear:

Original sprites[/QUOTE]
The only way I'd accept more characters is if they're only seen in the end credits or something, kind of like in Sonic 2.
As for "original sprites," I'm pretty sure they changed with each game. I'm certain they did between 2 and 3, but I'm not so sure about between 1 and 2. But if you mean the characters should resemble their old selves, then yeah. I mean, if they look a bit more like their modern selves, it won't make the game unplayable, but it'd be preferable to have old-style characters.

I know, but still. :saddowns:
Anyone who says that the classic Sonic games were "hold right and jump" probably only played the first zone and got bored. If you tried that on Metropolis Zone, you would get a game over quicker than anything.

I was pumped, until I saw the pictures of the stuff from the teaser website. They are using 3D models. It's not 2D if you are using 3D models. It's 2.5D
Why can't they just like, paint the stuff, and have a wonderfully done look, instead of shitty models.
Shit man.
Shit.
Please just end Sonic. Every time people say its going to return to its roots and it will be a revival, but it always ends up shittier than before.
Sonic needs to be layed to rest, they cant possibly milk it anymore.
I thought EA was good at milking.
I think sonic takes the cake now.
If its done like Capcom did Megaman 9, it should be fine.
I never liked sonic as a character, they should kill him off.
