Yuji Naka must never see the light of day anymore from keeping his face buried in his hands all the time.

Exactly. He has to be horrified at how Sega has been treating his creation. In fact, I'd bet that's why he left in the first place.lupinko said:

There's plenty of spin-offs. I would't be surprised if Fatal Frame comes over with a sub title instead of IV. The same with Tenchu and Monster Hunter.

Some gaming site or publication needs to get a hold of him and ask him wtf happened to Sonic? I would love to read an honest facepalm reply form Yuji Naka.disappeared said:

It's partially Yuji Naka and his gigantic ego that got us in this position in the first place. :|LouieGeetoo said:

Well, technically he didn't create Sonic.
And it was mostly his direction that lead to Sonic's transition into the Adventure formula people are sick of right now.

I think it was ego.disappeared said:
Adventure had a lot of things worth hating, but they were far from mandatory. I think once Sonic Team discovered that people were deciding not to play stuff they think they worked hard on, they tried to force it.
Only played Sonic levels in Adventure 1? Fuck you, now you have to play as everyone in SA2.
Just tried to get Knuckles and Tails levels over as quickly as possible? Eat a cock, now they're a part of your constant team so you need them every level.
Hate talking to people to advance? Go fuck yourself, now you need to find out information about where the next level is and accomplish a retarded quest to even play the game.

Of course it's fake. Never mind that it's on an actual magazine, it's perfectly formatted and professionally done with an entirely NEW CGI picture of Sonic.
Yup, definitely a shop.

Sounds pretty dull, man! You should have been bitching about games you won't buy.
On topic: Fucking Sega, and their shitty games.

It doesn't matter to me if they are numbered sequels or spin-offs. As long as they don't suck.
Although I am a bit tired seeing numbers after every title, it's better than the really long subtitles like the Dragon Quest Swords game.

...yes?Knives said:
Knives said:
Meh.
It's not the fact that it's an obvious spin-off. Sonic's been in a number of spin offs before (even back in the 16 and 32bit eras).
It's the thing about how present-day Sega seems to be at odds when it comes to being able to make a GOOD Sonic game, period. If they can't even manage to do that, there's not much in the way to give us faith for a spin-off starring him.
I would only be open to this, if this was done by some one else besides Sega. Like say, again, if they got Omega Force to whip up a "Sonic Musou". Cheesy it would be, but it would certainly give them an excuse to use Sonic and his lil friends in a medium that they can't POSSIBLY mess up with! :lol

Wow.
Still no info? This is a very disappointing display GAF. I expected info in the very first page.

The music was fine, it was just the idiotic decision to have Runblebee sing over the majority of it that killed so many of the songs.I AM JOHN! said:
Then just hang back and watch the perpetual trainwreck that is GAF's love/hate relationship with the series. There are reasons why we approach new games with extreme skepticism.Knives said:

Let the Speed Mend It and Dino Jungle are really good songs in spite of the horrible lyrics. But like most music, you have to take it as a whole, not as a sum of its parts; and the whole is painful.

When you think about it, Secret Rings did a shitty job of sticking to the Arabian Tales theme.
The first level was a neat desert, then for some reason you went to Dino Island, then fought robots, then to a pirate ship.
The desert and the flying island were the best levels.

Seven Rings in Hand is honestly a large reason why I stopped playing Sonic + the Secret Rings. It's so, so fucking awfully fucking shit.
Mario & Sonic has an instrumental version of Let the Speed Mend It. I remain pissed at Sega for not releasing instrumentals of the rest of the soundtrack.I AM JOHN! said:Well yeah, that's what made it terrible.

Here's what you need to know:Knives said:
Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, and CD are generally regarded as the best games in the series (all were on the Sega Genesis except Sonic CD which was a Sega CD game). Sonic Adventure and 2 on Dreamcast were considered good for their time (8.7 and 9.4 on IGN IIRC, respectively), but fundamental flaws (linear level design, forcing players to play as other characters with radically different gameplay styles, shoddy camera and abundance of bugs) hold them back from being true classics - flaws that have re-surfaced and are only magnified in Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog (360), as well as Sonic Heroes and Sonic and the Secret Rings which aren't as bad, but still suffer. Sonic Unleashed seems to be a good game, but not in line with the classics - although lately that's all I ask from the franchise.
tl;dr version: The series sucked after 1994.

in a way, Sonic's popularity is his own worst enemy. Despite his games being fairly shitty, they sell extremely well, fooling Sega into thinking Sonic should be on the level of Mario and putting him in sports games, RPGs, racing games, and trying to turn him and his friends into shitty platform game stars. In reality, Sonic is a really shallow character. He runs really fast from one end of a level to another. He works best (and probably only) as a 2D platformer, but Sega can't seem to do that. If Sonic were a little less popular, say at the Megaman level, maybe Sega could get away with what Capcom is doing w/ Megaman 9 and make a true 2D Sonic sequel for XBLA/PSN/VC, but it seems like Sega doesn't want to "lower themselves" to that.
