After Lost World 3DS, I'd rather not. More so since they'd likely dump the project on Dimps.

Here you go:

Pfft. Those are just cheap rushed cash-ins to tie in with the console release. I want a totally new game specifically designed for the 3DS.

Something like "New Sonic the Hedgehog" available exclusively on New Nintendo 3DS would be pretty funny. Would sell more systems, because some Sonic fans are just that die hard.

Sonic Generations was already kind of "New" Sonic the Hedgehog, but I agree with your idea. I think a traditional Sonic game that still has a lot of new ideas and features like NSMB would be a good way to take the series.

 

[Jamix012]

Definitely not for Nintendo after the Sonic Boom debacle and the lukewarm reception of Sonic Lost World.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't multi. I don't think it's fair to blame Boom's sales on the Wii U really.

I think what you're asking for is the first Sonic Advance. I really wish those kinds of games still happened.

it's actually really weird how Sega treat the classics. Colours, Lost World and obviously 4 and Generations are filled with classic enemies, old stage gimmicks and checkerboard tile stages but they're so reluctant to actually make a game that plays like the old ones and use the superior classic design for said games (except generations where they treat him like a novelty). It's like they want to borrow from Sonic's past but they also don't.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't multi. I don't think it's fair to blame Boom's sales on the Wii U really.

I think the only way Boom was selling was if it was a PS4/Xbone launch title or something. Games like that have a knack for that.

Well

That Tamaki guy from Unseen64 said there wont be a new Sonic this year, and he is a huge blue hedgehog fan.

He still says we could be surprised, wich I really hope is true

Spoiler

If the game is good

He is basing that off that he hasn't heard of a Sonic game appearing at E3 by now though.

'Sonic: It Couldn't Get Any Worse... Could It?' for PS4/X1. Pre-order now for the exclusive fan-fiction episode featuring Shadow and Tails!

Haha.

 

[Plinko]

I'll take a sequel to any of the following three:

Sonic Colors
Sonic Generations
Sonic/Sega All-Stars Racing

 

[JediLink]

People, really, we already had Unleashed, Colors, and Generations using the same formula. It's time to move on.

"Moving on" for no reason is the worst thing. It'd help Sonic a lot more if it just found an identity and could stick with it.

 

[Nocturnowl]

The fact that the next main Sonic game has yet to reveal itself either means...
a) Sonic Team are actually taking their time making a game that doesn't have the wheels fall off towards the back end
b) They're changing the gameplay formula once again instead of iterating on the ones that could actually work

 

[Hot Coldman]

"Moving on" for no reason is the worst thing. It'd help Sonic a lot more if it just found an identity and could stick with it.

Lost World proved this.

They've found the perfect aesthetic and tone, they just need to iterate, iterate, ITERATE on the Generations 3D formula.

 

[Symphonia]

It's a new, edgier SONIC title developed by Platinum.

 

[Simbabbad]

Definitely not for Nintendo after the Sonic Boom debacle and the lukewarm reception of Sonic Lost World.

If anything, being on a Nintendo console softened the damage A LOT for those games. They sold way too much for what they are.

People, really, we already had Unleashed, Colors, and Generations using the same formula. It's time to move on.

Unleashed and Colours are completely different games with a completely different feel. I hate Unleashed and love Colours, and I know people who feel the opposite, they're not the same formula at all.

 

[ChaosXVI]

I seriously hope this title is basically Unleashed Day/Generations style gameplay with entirely new locales. Like imagine levels with similarly new themes like Sonic Colors but in HD...I'll seriously never understand why Sonic Colors didn't eventually get some kind of HD re-release because those levels were begging for it.

fortunately thanks to dolphin you can atleast play it at 1080p 60fps with a high res texture mod

Can we please just fucking wait until we have more than a name to go off of? I seriously don't understand why people are going nuts when we don't know a single thing about the game.

SONIC GAME BEING MADE ABOUT GOING FAST STOP THE PRESSES

Shadow the Edgehog

[Black Republican]

Sonic Generations 2 please.

i will eat ass for this

 

[Clefargle]

Never give up sega, you're so crazy

 

[Arc Christelle]

Aren't new Sonic games always being made and always bad?

God.... another one?
After all these terrible ones lately?
Ugh.....

Sega, please no.

Can't wait to play Sonic 2006 HD Edition

Are Sonic threads like the only threads where people can sprout uninformed nonsense without consequence?

Exactly

Hell yeah I love Unleashed but I can't stand Colors.

"Moving on" for no reason is the worst thing. It'd help Sonic a lot more if it just found an identity and could stick with it.

For no reason? I think 3 consecutive games with the same gameplay formula is a good reason to change it. Stuck forever in this one just because it works, it doesnt mean another formula cant work.

What are you gonna do, stay safe until Sonic Generations 12 is done?

Unleashed and Colours are completely different games with a completely different feel. I hate Unleashed and love Colours, and I know people who feel the opposite, they're not the same formula at all.

I dont think you believe this at all. It's the exact same formula, but each game have it's own extra gimmick. Unleashed had werehog (thing that I dont dislike), Colors had whisps, and Generations classic Sonic.

Modern Sonic gameplay have been the same in this three games, even if it have improved.

 

[Nocturnowl]

The actual Sonic Cycle.

Granted Boom did the franchise no favours whatsoever.

 

[Ushojax]

I'm sure they will shit out another low quality effort in time for the holidays.

I would agree with you but after playing Colors, it's extremely different in feel and control. Me personally I hate it, because it's very 2D centric with lack of good drifting controls compared to Unleashed and Generations, and platform heavy, more than anything and depends on wisps. Doesn't exactly reward you for fast paces either. It's like the only one I'd say needs a spin dash more than a boost. It's more similar to Lost World than the other two. It's visually similar tho.

Sadly.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Sonic Adventure 3?

 

[Ty4on]

Sonic Adventure 3....you know its coming.

Sonic Adventure 3?

Don't be silly, that came out in 2006.

 

[VLiberty]

Okay

Spoiler

It's completely different from the Wii U version so it sorta counts. It's also possibly up there with Sonic 2006 and Shadow the Hedgehog when it comes to how bad it is.

Wow really? I was tempted to get it as I want to play Lost World but I don't have a Wii U yet, I mean I knew it wasn't the same game but I didn't know it was that bad.

Are Sonic threads like the only threads where people can sprout uninformed nonsense without consequence?

We need a "Can we stop Sonic shitposting please?" thread. Judging from the first page of the mobile thread, it kinda works.

 

[Village]

Sonic generations with more characters


Just that.

Dont pass to
Dont collect 200 dollars
Dont lost world or boom

3d generations style
Other playable guys

Don't be silly, that came out in 2006.

No that was sonic unleashed. stop with the misinformation.

 

[UltimaWeapon]

...the sequel.

I can agree with Colors feeling different.
But even in that case, it still shares the same base, boosting through the stage while collecting rings to keep boosting, with some platforming sections here and there.

Personally, I think we had already enough boosting based sections and enough fast-paced reflexe-based gameplay. Even if it's good, we cant stay always here.

 

[Arc Christelle]

That's why I kinda made the Favorite Sonic Stages thread, just to encourage actual discussion between people who have actually played Sonic past the Genesis/06.

It really limits the drive-by posts.

 

[10k]

Please no, let him die in peace. Unless it's like generations 3D stages. Entirely. No gimmicks.

I don't know man, we still haven't had multiplayer, character abilities, hidden routes to other stages, and all kinds of shit we could milk out of this playstyle. It's solid and it works.

It should be the main style and have other games on the side [i.e. Sonic 4, Lost World, etc.]

I rather have consistent design towards perfection with innovations here and there, than to start over, and fuck it all up. Maybe the second Lost World game will be better, but to replace the Boost Games with that design would be a huge mistake.

Have one main source of game and options, give them their 3D World and their New too.

Please no, let him die in peace. Unless it's like generations 3D stages. Entirely. No gimmicks.

Shut up, he's not even on life support. I agree about the 3D though.

 

[Son Of D]

Honestly hope for a next gen/pc exclusive sonic allstar racer

Seems a bit soon to wait for a PS5/Nextbox/NX game doesn't it?

 

[Aostia]

I believe we already saw pretty solid rumors about it

I don't think this infographic was talking about Boom (the Tv show is already reported there, and the game section says that the game is aimed at '15 release).

 

[MrBadger]

I want a Sonic game where halfway through the final boss Eggman jumps out of his mech, gets fucking ripped and beats the shit out of Sonic while ranting about politics

 

[ShadowElliot]

Shadow the Edgehog

It'll be a video game adaption of Tails Gets Trolled.

With new lines, such as:

"Where's that DAMN fifth Chaos Emerald?!"

And chuckling Obama as the newest character.

[Gunstar Ikari]

How about no? Sega's more than welcome to do whatever kind of wacky experiments they want, but they need something proven to fall back on in case it blows up in their face, as it has with Boom and arguably Lost World. As it stands, Sonic is one bad game away from being in a similar or possibly even worse situation than it was in back in 2006.

...the sequel.

Puyo Puyo Tsu came out in 1994.

Eggman needs to be taller, curvier, and with a bigger bust and we got a system seller.

I don't think this infographic was talking about Boom (the Tv show is already reported there, and the game section says that the game is aimed at '15 release).

They said that Boom won't be replacing the main series but given what a shitstorm is going on with Sega right now, coupled with how much the company has invested in the Boom franchise, I'm willing to believe differently.

 

[MrBadger]

Shadow's looking pretty ambiguous there. I hope he doesn't lose his way.

 

[Simbabbad]

I dont think you believe this at all. It's the exact same formula, but each game have it's own extra gimmick. Unleashed had werehog (thing that I dont dislike), Colors had whisps, and Generations classic Sonic.

You'd be surprised. In fact, as I said, everybody I've discussed the games with agreed they were vastly different. Unleashed is mostly a linear ride, Colours is all about exploration.

A SEGA rep debunked that infographic. Not that a Sonic game this year would be much of a stretch, but I have my doubts that if they're developing the game for PS4/Xbox One that it'd release on Wii U as well.
