"SEGA are today very proud and happy to reveal "Sonic Rumble", the newest addition to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, releasing this winter. The upcoming Sonic mobile game invites players to enter a twisted toy world created by the notorious Dr. Eggman." - SEGA.
Mobile only? I hope not, but its Sega so you know that they're clueless.
(*looks over at ChuChu Rocket 2 and Sonic Dream Team being iOS subscription only games *)
You lost me at mobile. I don’t care how “good” a mobile game is they are designed to be time sinks and force you to purchase microtransactions that give you better chances at rare loot/outfits and actually making daily progress. I have Ever Crisis a chance and it lost me hard once you hit the wall. They’re disgusting in that design approach. Too bad, because if it were just a regular game on mobile I might check it out, but I know it’ll be be f*cked by the mobile design money leeching model.
I swear they made more Sonic mobile games than proper home consoles ones nowadays.
If all we're getting this year on consoles is some remastered Sonic Generations with Shadow DLC then that's not a good sign at all.
It shouldn't take Sonic Team 5 years to make a sequel and there was a time they released new games on consoles almost yearly.
I have a feeling they would have to do more spin off games as no one's going to wait that long for a sequel of Sonic game and when do they released them spin offs on mobile, so clueless....
What's stopping them from releasing these small mobile games on consoles for $20?
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received a bunch of new DLC, including two new gameplay modes, for free.
Thank you but no thank you.
my phone is for making phone calls and sending text message, with the occasional internet browsing and tethering to other devices, nothing more... nothing less
so, no it will not...
What a waste of money, why not spend it on something more worthwhile like making longer life batteries for phones?
The only way my phone could replace my console is if gaikai work awsome with it.
I'd like for the Vita to be like this. The all-in-one device. Have a game, decide I want to go somewhere, take it with me, then come home and dock it into a PS4, keep playing with better visuals.
As for my phone? Pass. Developers can't handle it and always want new tech. See crappy games that can't use a 3 month old phone because it "doesn't have enough power" really? And don't really need texts and calls interrupting my game either.
