A long time ago on a forum that is now much much worse, I posted a fan art. This fan art was of one of the few human interpetrations of the sonic characters that interested me, the artist updated it
Unfortunately Knuckles did not survive
I do hate lost world myself, but yeah its sort of lifeless? Like I hate the werehog, but I feel like that game tried to do something , had an idenity. Generations as its own thing as a celebration of sonic is fine, but I feel like a lot of sonic games are trying to celebrate sonic too much, or rather are just trying to use nostalgia imagery instead of being a good game. And forces and Lost world in particular makes the games worse by trying to invoke that. And nothing wrong with envoking nostalgia as a premise, but it helps to understand... why people liked those things. And it seems like no one at sonic team understands why a lot of folks like a lot of things about sonic. At least during the bad period they kind of got the characters , but now that's even gone. I'm also not a fan of those mobile games, and while I think sonic boom as its premise ( like separation of adventure elements spun off into its own thing ) its execution was bad in game format and in story and character design it was mostly generic, and an occasional good joke on an OK cartoon wasn't going to save that.
Sonic Mania didn't get me in the franchise a big way, but I appreciated it existed and it was a good game. And i'm not saying the future is, nothing but its really barren. Like the racing game exists, and that's neat. But the dialog thing they are pushing , so far is just.. filled with bad lines and ontop of that the voice acting isn't great. Rodger is... Rodgering, Kirk went back to his shit voice, Knuckles's VA isn't there , but hey maybe they will re-record lines and apperently there's like 5000+ so maybe they aren't all bad and hopefully the base game is fine and if push comes to shove I can just turn the dialog off. I mean that's bad consiering you dedicated so much time to it and it would end up being bad , but maybe its fine.
There's the comics, which are ok right now but need to get better to keep my interest. This is ontop of Ian basically saying Sega is more invovled with dialog , which gives me less hope on the character to character stuff. But maybe it will get better.
Otherwise.... there's kind of nothing. There's the movie , I guess?
Hopefully sonic's next 3d outing in the next generation isn't quite literally 1 bad video game
