Me.
Well, at least that's not a pseudo-rhetoric question.
Unfortunatley this, but I highly highly doubt this will be a boost game.
SA3 is behind you though ! :P
Both were great games when released... They just aged terribly.
Like I posted in the stream thread: no new game this year isn't surprising given Sakura Wars probably took up most of the team's focus.
Do wonder if this will be a 2020 release and come out on new consoles, or they'll wait to release it in 2021 so it's during Sonic's 30th anniversary?
We actually haven't gotten one of those since Unleashed (I mean I guess you can count Time Eater? They never really explained how much of that thing was Eggman's creation and how much was magical monster).

Maybe even 2021, there's going to be a 30th Anniversary title, for sure.
I hope it's not another boost game. I want them to go back to the Sonic Adventure speed gameplay. I still prefer the Adventure games over everything that came after.
Oh, it certainly couldn't have been because of the blatant rough development going around 06 itself which botched the execution, but rather the style in general being the main culprit. /s
I still stand by that 06 is a really flawed example of why they shouldn't go back to fleshing out Adventure more properly.
^^^^^ Ding ding ding ^^^^^

Only if it's another 3D title.
If it's Mania 2, that would be God's gift to the planet.
I think what they'll end up doing is straight up remake Sonic Adventure from the ground up. Maybe do the same with the second game, and then make Sonic Adventure 3.
They have yet to find a formula that works and transitions all of Sonic's elements from the 2D games into 3D.
Lost World's parkour system could've worked perfectly if they put some momentum in there. Level design that isn't ripping off Mario Galaxy would be neat too.
I hope they took inspiration from Sonic Utopia and the Sonic Infinity engine. If not, then I don't care. With Sega's money and resources there's no excuse for them to put out stuff that's so inferior from a gameplay perspective (yes, I'm aware neither of those are full games)

They really need to find a way to fully revitalize this franchise.
Mario and Sonic are two of the most recognizable video game characters in the world and even people who don't play video games know about these characters in some shape or form.
It needs to start fresh, scrap the stupid secondary characters, scrap most of the stupid combat and focus on platforming, level design, and the overall structure of the game.
I ain't got no issues with bringing back Doctor Eggman again... he's iconic in my eyes but they should limit their scope a bit and just try and squeeze as much creativity and polish out of a simple idea rather than giving us more world adventure vibes.
Good luck to the Team. I still hold hope for an epic sonic game someday.

Can't wait for some more rushed garbage. Forces really ruined things for me after how decent things bad been going--ignoring big red button and Sonic Boom rise of lyric.
Gunna be honest I'm surprised how much time they're taking off from Sonic. It'll likely be 3 years until the next Sonic Team title. Hopefully there's some real effort being put into it this time.
I think the next 3d s9nic might be developed in America http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...ion.php?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Yeah, 06 was Adventure 3 in everything but name.
It was exactly what Adventure 1 and 2 would have been like if they were released a year before being finished.
A year before being finished might be a little too generous with 06.
Hopefully they change up the formula. It's hasn't changed since Unleashed and it's gotten stale.
I don't want to see this until 2021 in that case. I don't want the same development schedule that Forces had.
That game was a rushed mess with plenty of missed potential after Colours and Generations
Sonic Team aren't in a good position to start changing everything up again - like what they did with Lost World after how successful Generations was

Partially disagree, I'd love to see them merge the boost formula with Adventure style gameplay (add in what made the 3D parts of Sonic Lost World fun too) Go back and focus purely on what works.
