With sega restructuring to basically the bottom of a trash barrel with a few exceptions, Sega/sonic team have been hinting at a real console Sonic game, however we still after around 2 years have heard nothing and have gotten an ios game or something. Sonic Boom was a filler by another dev, still flopped.

Most likely this Sonic console game that Sega has been teasing all this time, if not cancelled, will be the last attempt at making a huge Sonic game since unleashed. If the game flops and doesn't generate sales Sonic may be a mobile franchise only, Where it will probably die quickly.

Sonic games for most people have been dead for at least a decade. If only the Sonic team knew what qualifies a good sonic game smh.

Just make a 3D Sonic game with the same vibe as Sonic 1-3 instead of this generic anime cartoon feel the Sonic franchise has adopted since Sonic Adventure. It felt whacky and cool on Genesis, on Dreamcast onwards it felt like weaboo shit.

Huh, I doubt it.

People who say there's no good sonic games: hello Colors and Generations. Not to mention the DS Sonic games were good. Heck even Lost World is becoming quite underrated at this point. Also, any proof you're just speculating based on what exactly?

Colors wasn't good, it was a bare minimum for people who were looking for anything that wasn't trash. The main gimmick of that game was flawed and it shows in Lost world.

The DS games are also bad and are liked for the same reason.

Generations was a good start but they butchered it with lack of gameplay length, the content it had, which was pretty much nothing, was just garbage missions. It was a game rushed out half complete and they threw some things in at the last minute.

If they refine the day levels of sonic unleashed (Wii version) they can make a really good game.

It's much better. Daytime stages of Sonic unleashed on Wii are actually better than colors. Sans werehog of course (although, the night stages often have some good music when it's not being ruined by the battle music)

Nah, it's Sega's mascot IP. It nets them millions in sales and merchandise. They're not stopping with them any time soon.

Why not the Xbox and PS versions?

@TigerSuperman: Maybe not in games. But in terms of cross media properties and merchandizing? He does, and that derives from his constant 'relevance' due to being an active game franchise.

He does make money but your are overstating how much money the series makes, and it's not that much. If it was Sega wouldn't be fumbling and Sammy may have actually decided to support more risks.

@TigerSuperman:

Well, Sonic team made the daytime stages in the Ps3 and 360 versions, and it's pretty sloppy in comparison to what DIMPS made for the Wii version. They made the Ps2 version as well but the Wii version runs smoother and looks better than on Ps2.

The Wii version just feels like a sonic game should, the stages are very grounded and you have to be more precise (360 version is jump boost jump boost) and it's just the better version.

People that skipped over the game because of the werehog, or maybe they played the 360 version and didn't like it should check out the Wii version if they like Sonic. It's like $6 brand new right now.

The stages aren't perfect by any means, but it's the best 3d sonic's ever been.

Who cares if they do or don't, it's Sega, I expect whatever strategy the exercise to look like the symptoms of self-sabotage.

Though it may not be deserved, Sonic is a money maker. Until that stops happening they'll keep making the games.

@charizard1605: If Sonic still makes Sega millions+ Even when Sonic has been garbage for 15 years...That must mean Pikachu for Pokemon has like 30 years left in the tank.

I pray to God that happens. Nintendo would do wonders with both in a eyeroll, before Sega even remembers what they are.

@TrappedInABox91: sonic's worth close to a billion dollars based on Forbes estimates, not sure Nintendo would throw that kinda cash at Sammy to buy the rights.

Not sure Sammy would sale anyways as Sonic makes up 80% of Sega's software sales on an average annual basis.

I guess I share opinions with the majority of complaints about the game from fans, reviewers, and sega themselves then.
