    I'm sorry, but why is this so fucking difficult? If you want to make a good Sonic game, just make Sonic Adventure 3. It's not that hard of a decision.

    Agreed on on that comment AJ, the one where you said Sonic lost his "Sonic-ness" by making out with a human. I think someone spiked the water at SEGA ever since SA2, Sonic has been going downhill since, and the multiplayer aspect was something they could have delved into. Then, they'd treat the poor bastard like a guinea pig and subject him to horrid tests to see how far Sonic fans can take the abuse we witness.

    I gave up, and will hope for the DS to bring about some fun Sonic games for now.

    My question is, "Is it really that hard to make a good 3D Sonic game?"


    In my opinion, you pretty much just have to make a racing game. Kind of like Burnout Paradise, but with more loop-de-loops and such.


    Maybe I'm not thinking this through properly, but I really don't get how this is hard...

    @Unfather: I recall certain sonic games on the Dreamcast that were 3D, so yes, it is possible.

    Why go to all this trouble? Just buy a manatee tank, throw some ping pong balls in it, then go home early and have a beer. Come in to check the tank the next day and whatever ball got pushed into the tube is your next Sonic game idea.

    John Davison (ex 1up) said a while ago that Sonic could do with being moved to a western dev team. Today I kind of see his point.

    @bluebuju: I can just picture it now.


    *Screen slowly fades in from black, and we see bruised and bloodied Sonic rising from the rubble of a destroyed building. Laying in front of him is a dead, split in half Tails. Sonic looks down and falls to his knees and screams. Screen fades back to black.


    "In a world a gone mad, there's only on person.. ergh hedgehog that can save us now."


    We're then treated to a montage of what appears to be a bold new reimagining of Sonic.... the First Person Shooter. He's wielding an AK and he's pissed, blasting heads clean off in what can only be described, as a "drab", and "gritty" backdrop consisting of only brown and grey.


    Oh yeah, that'd be awesome.

    The people that work for SEGA just need to tell the bossmen that you don't need to think of the "next thing" for Sonic, just return him to his roots.


    His best made and selling games where when he was just running and jumping. Is that too much to ask?

    Huh? What? There are still Sonic games coming out? I thought that series died with the Dreamcast and Shenmue.


    Wait. You mean to tell me there have been fourteen Sonic games since then?


    ...and Sonic's even teamed up with Mario?
