SEGA/Sonic Team Announces #SONIC2020 Campaign, With New Logo And Promotional Art
- Thread starter Zippo
- Start date
Forces would have been the perfect opportunity to introduce Sally, Bunnie, Rotor and Antoine into the games' canon if it was something they were actually interested in doing. They were clearly not. C'est la vie.
The SW prequel point is an interesting analogy because like the prequel films, the Adventure games have seen a strong wave of nostalgia in the last few years. Hence I think Sega's best move would be Mania 2 (with either all original levels, or a heavier slant towards new ones - like eight new zones and four remakes, the inverse of Mania) and Adventure 1 remake. There's nothing inherently wrong with the Adventure formula and I think in many ways it's the closest Sonic Team has ever come to nailing the 2D Sonic gameplay in 3D. Work on polishing up the basics and build from there.
This may be true, but I honestly hope Evening Star is allowed to be a bit more ambitious than just meeting the base expectations of "Amy and all new levels". By the time Mania's successor arrives, the "Mega Man 9 effect" would've had long since had an opportunity to wear off. Consumers and reviewers alike are going to be a bit more critical this time to see if there's something worth coming back for more.
If any time is present to also reevaluate and reinvent things for 2D Sonic platforming action, as well, there's no time like the present! Gimme a world map, levels with multiple and/or character specific exits, multiple things to seek out in levels, if I want that 100% clear on my save file. And don't be afraid to kick my ass and expect a certain level of competency with regard to my understanding of 2D Sonic gameplay.
After 1994, there was a time where I hoped that Sonic would really start aiming for DK's neck. It may be more than 20 years later, but I'd be all for that "fight" resuming, and giving us a Sonic game that more than gives the likes of Tropical Freeze decent competition.
those have actual in-game benefits though, which means there are reasons to do those things
chao gardens do nothing but gatekeep content
I literally don't even understand what I'm supposed to be doing.
I remember way back playing in the garden when I was young and it just hit me suddenly, I was just like "WTF am I even doing? This has nothing to do with why I played the original Sonic titles on the previous Sega consoles... In fact these 3D games actually kinda suck in comparison..."
Sold the adventure titles and slowly watched the series's downfall with only the occasional rent just to see the horror myself before youtube became real big on game content. Only titles I bought were advance and colors since then.
I love the Chaos. They are my kids.
A Sonic Adventure remake, done right, would be right up my alley.

Fun read, 99.99999% chance of being fake
Though the next Sonic game being inexplicably next-gen only would not surprise me, just disappoint

Not as far as I know
I basically treat it as 4chan text leaks, occasionally entertaining fanfiction
That sounds 1001% fake, just like everything else on that subreddit. But one thing from that "rumor" that makes me think though, if Sonic jumps to next gen (and Switch), would that mean the only current gen 3D Sonic game is Forces? Because that seems pretty wild, between Wii and PS3/Xbox 360 last gen it felt like we got a decent run of Sonic games over the years.
Then again, not sure how the Wii U would be classified in all of this, that obviously got a couple as well.

"Game 2: Blaze the Cat (Nintendo Switch Exclusive)"
Lol that gave me a chuckle. All in good fun that fake leak is.
I like the way the writer thinks, I'll say that
A Blaze the Cat game would be great
I was just about to detonate this thread with a bunch of pics of best girl but hearing a leak about a blaze the cat game, however false has put me in a good mood.
Though to be honest I'd rather just have sonic rush 3 with switch Tate mode support, ala down elk.

You literally give those crayons to your Chao and they transform gradually while their stats grow, which determines their performance in the Chao races...
From a gameplay standpoint, yeah that'd be fun as hell if done right.
Geez, just say they're making Tangle & Whisper while you're making up wish fulfillment scenarios.
So going by this rumor, Christian Whitehead left the studio he recently co-founded to get a promotion at Sega (which pretty sure he's never been an employee of) to work on a Blaze the Cat game.
Sounds legit.
I would say that with the recent shift of IP power to SoA that a Tangle & Whisper game actually does have a nonzero chance of existing.
Not like, a realistic chance, but probably better than Blaze game.
I mean, Amy and Charmy originated in a manga, anything's possible.
Alrighty. One way or the other, I hope they got good stuff to share.
But the time for that was over a decade ago. And ideally, way before she got joined at Silver's hip.
You bet.

Not gonna get my hopes up, the panel last year was dreadful. Didn't even mention a new game.
As far as lore goes, i like when world building is more implicit than explicit. The world of adventure time is build upon the ruins of a post apocalyptic earth. You see this with cars, some bombed out homes, and even skeletons. But rarely is it ever acknowledged. I love mario odyssey and galaxy because it implies that some characters and locations have a deeper history than most would in a mario game. Like the notes in the ruined kingdom for instance where they discuss that a great civilization once lived their before they messed with forces beyond their control, or rosalinas story book from galaxy which tells you about her tragic back story. Id like sonic to have stuff like this, imply that their may be a great all powerful force out their, no need to dwell on it.
At least last year they had Team Sonic Racing to promote. As of right now there's no new game on the horizon.
Funny enough, that's a hallmark of the 16-bit era of Sonic's life, especially within the Japanese manuals. In the manuals, you'd get wild backstories of greedy civilizations getting wiped, kami being the reason for such things, and Chaos Emeralds being at the center of such. 3&K had shades of in-game storytelling with the murals on walls in Hidden Palace that outlined Sonic's place in a prophecy.
I wouldn't mind at all if the new "Sonic Pillar" wanted to go back to that type of storytelling, instead of acting like kids are idiots and need everything spelled out with long winded exposition.

It's by Sega Japan so I have low expectations. The big announcement will be at SXSW.Sega Japan announced a "Sonic Station Live" broadcast for February 20th:

Yeah pretty much, I'm expecting it to just be merch announcements.
Like others, I'm not expecting too, too much. Gotta wait for SWSX for the good stuff.
Now would be a good time for a remaster of Colors or Unleashed for current platforms while Sonic Team takes their time with the next mainline game.

Yeah. I expect SXSW to be the big event of the yeer. Of course, they'll be celebrating the success of the movie there also.
That would be nice. Even though Unleashed is not a very good game.
So, no hype for tomorrow? :(Sega Japan announced a "Sonic Station Live" broadcast for February 20th:

I'll be up watching but it's really not wise to get hyped for this.
Sonic Unleashed remake without night stages! Best selling game of the franchise since... well, Sonic 1? Not sure what´s the best selling Sonic game.
:(
I'm just so hungry for new Sonic games rn
Throw me a bone Sega!

I don't know if that would really be a remake, then.
Sonic 1 is the best selling game, far and away.

Anything is possible, but March is the much more likely date.
