to stay on topic... sonic unleashed was only a bad game due to the werehog sections. If sega wants to get back to creating AAA sonic titles they would do the following:
-
Keep the sonic sections like sonic unleashed: it was pretty much known that the sonic portions of the games were great. the 2.5D gameplay is what people wanted. Sega's concern was that the levels would be too long to make as they can stretch for miles. In that case... they should consider using a technology close to Id megatexture tech... so no two texture's are the same.. with that... they can have some hanna barbera style repeat areas to make the game seem longer.
-
Keep playable friends to a minimum: Mario get's this right... so should Sonic... people want to play as sonic... not as ted the toad, to licky the lizard. If you insist on friends being there... they should only be there in the capacity of assist characters only.
-
Mini Games should be included: One of the reasons why the early sonic games were so fun is that there was mini games within levels to break up the monotony of running though stages. Mini games within levels will keep the stage unique and add lots of replay value... you do it with Virtua Tennis... sonic could use some mini games as well... but keep in mind that they should be fun... not boring.
-
Dump the huge overworlds: They're not needed... it would be easier if the game story mode was more linear... players... especially children can get lost in huge overworlds especially if there's no sense of progress. Which these overworlds tend to do. If you have to have an overworld... at least have it on a path... such as having a "Green Hill Zone Overworld" beat all the levels in there... then move directly into the "Ice Cap Zone" overworld.
-
Online Components: 2-Player co-op through levels, 4 Player mini-games, Racing challenges... you can go beyond the storyline with sonic games.
-
No More human love interests.. or better yet... keep the human presense to a minimum: Sonic 06 sucked because of that... and Sonic Unleashed was just weird... stop destroying the fantasy of Sonic by pushing him into reality.
