This is the ideal Sonic body.
Nah.
Both are great and they'll continue to use both.

Scrap 3D Sonic altogether and just make Mania games.
Big budget Mania Heroes, with classic designs of Team Dark and each zone is tailored to that teams specific skills. AND LEVEL DESIGN IS THE TOP PRIORITY.
Mania Secret Rings and Black Knight and other strories where Sonic travels through these fairy tale worlds. AND LEVEL DESIGN IS THE TOP PRIORITY.
Basically take the solid ideas of the games and Maniaize them, nullifying the shitness. AND MAKE LEVEL DESIGN THE TOP PRIORITY. ALWAYS.

Could be that they still don't release a game this year and just announce one.
It was on sale Christmas though, both on steam and psn
it had issues but not mechanics wise, it simply chose a new gimmick -team work- instead of the previous gimmick -transformation- , also your top speed is determined by rings you collect which is an aspect that was not present in last game, and that adds depth to the game mechanically , if anything the team aspect was more involved in core gameplay and how you use it and when, instead of simply waiting for the next section to see your car transform depends in the track, with the rare occasion of there being points where you can transform earlier to plane to gain more speed

Yeah. That's what i was thinking. I don't think Sonic Team will have anything ready in time for this year.
Oh man I would absolutely lose my shit if we got Sonic Mania Heroes

Nah. They only just formed 12 months ago. I think they'd still need more time.
Sonic 30th anniversary game should have Sonic struggling with student debt and failing to pay his rent.
Sonic has been yearly for a while now, so a new game of some kind seems inevitable.
Please get rid of current modern sonic forever (please don't let this be a monkey paw wish so we end up with an even worse redesign).
Its risky having so many characters but if they could make each one unique and fun to play and ensure the zones they travel through are tailored to their skills it could really be something special. Especially if Bark, Fang, and Bean are representing.
I kind of expect 2020 to be quiet on the actual games front. They'll just be pushing community engagement, and maybe we'll get some ports or re-releases or something to tide us over until 2021's 3D Sonic game, which unless they hired some level designers since Forces, is sure to be trash. The key to the boost formula working so well in Generations was strong level design. Without it, the entire game falls apart.
I won't let myself even anticipate that Sonic Mania or Sonic 5 or something by Evening Star is remotely a thing, because I would want it too much, and all signs currently point to them not working on a new 2D Sonic...would love to be wrong, but I refuse to get my hopes up.

I want to see:
Sonic Mania 2 (Evening Star)
Sonic Generations DX: Director's Cut (Sonic Team)
Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed Deluxe (Sumo Digital)
Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (M2)
Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog CD (M2)
Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (M2)
Sonic Mania 2 (Evening Star)
Sonic Generations DX: Director's Cut (Sonic Team)
Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed Deluxe (Sumo Digital)
Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (M2)
Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog CD (M2)
Sega Ages Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (M2)
Boo this man!Let's see how Sonic's leadership is going.
........eh still preferable to Trump.
If it isn't Mania 2 then i'm not interested. The chances of a 3D Sonic being terrible is pretty much a 100% certainty at this point. Give me 2D Sonic!
Gonna be a big year for Sonic, methinks. Feature film is out in February, continued promotion of the Olympics game, and likely new console and mobile games being released.
Every one throws this around but its fairly obvious the real adventure 3 was Sonic Unleashed/Sonic World Adventure. And yes a game in that style with actual thought put into it wouldn't be bad at all.
They've been screwing classic sonic fans for two decades now. You know, the good sonic games. Maybe it's time for modern sonic to gtfo until they can come up with an idea or technology advances to the point they can make it work.
SegaSammy also posted a tweet for Sonic 2020. I think this picture looks cooler TBH:
Translation said:
Sonic needs a new design and Lizuka needs to stop gatekeeping the old Adventure-series look. They seemed to reject anything for Sonic Boom that didn't somewhat look like it was morphed from the usual designs.
Modern Sonic has never looked good. Just way too try-hard or something that's off putting. And the weird long legs with gigantic shoes looks lame.Nah.
How about we let both exist and just hope they make a good game?
Getting rid of modern Sonic, who for a lot of us is THE Sonic, won't suddenly improve the games.
I swear I hate these 'just git rid of modern Sonic" takes. Pure short sighted selfishness.

I wouldn't mind a new design, but it definitely needs to be a combination of the two. They cannot get rid of what made Sonic so appealing in the first place.
Every time someone is like only sonic 123k is good I roll my eyes right out my skull. Its just as bad as Sonic was never good crowd in how brain dead a take it actually is.
Sonic Advance 1-3 and Sonic Rush 1-2 were perfectly fine games with plenty of platforming goodness but people brush them aside citing lol boost, or not like the classics without engaging those games on their own terms.
Evening Star is co-developing Freedom Planet 2.
