SEGA Announces Sonic 25th Anniversary Event

The big announcement was revealed at SXSW today after covering the history and influence of Sonic throughout the years.

[generalwinter]

Hopefully they can breathe new life into this franchise.

[Abash]

If they are announcing it on July 22nd, it must not be that big of a new game or for next year. That's not a lot of time to promote or market the new Sonic title so this has me worried

[343_Guilty_Spark]

The breathed new life with a perfectly good Sonic Generations and what did they do? Completely forget about it.

No BC
NO HD Remasters
No sequel

But we got that trash Sonic Boom

[filchron]

Sonic generations was still garbage compared to SA1.

[TenkoTAiLS]

@filchron
Sonic Adventure was still garbage compared to Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It's called opinions, just because you didn't like Generations as much as Sonic Adventure doesn't make 343_Guilty_Spark's opinion any less valid.

[shadowknight203]

Multiple rumors point to a SA3

[Germany7]

After Sonic Boom, it's difficult to trust Sega again.

[The 10th Rider]

Well, Sega, yes . . . Sonic Team, however, has made some good Sonic games lately. Lost World was just okay, but Generations and Colors were both good. Unleashed had good day time levels, even if overall the game was bad because of the werewolf segments.

For the first time in a while I'm actually intrigued by what Sonic Team will have coming next. They've been working on the next Sonic game for a while now.

[Germany7]

I didn't like so much Lost World, it's really weak in comparison of another 3D platformers made recently.

Generations was great, i didn't play Colors and Unleashed, but i've heard great things about Colors.

[The 10th Rider]

I haven't played much of colors, but outside of the colors gimmick what I palyed was good. Unleashed had some great daytime levels, the rest stunk. If they just keep the core gameplay from generations, colors, and unleashed the game would be great.

"Please trust us again, we're sorry for Sonic Boom. We're going to do better"

<Announces Sonic Boom 2>

¬¬

[The 10th Rider]

Sonic Boom isn't made by Sonic Team, though. It's been known since Sonic Boom info was coming out that Sonic Team was also working on a Sonic game, which will likely be the next true Sonic entry.

Unless you're referring to the announcement of a Sonic Boom Fire and Ice release date . . . But that game was announced a while ago, they just revealed the release date.

[AKR]

In all fairness, it's a joint-blame between SEGA and Big Red Button. It's Big Red Button's fault for trying to "spin" the formula, and it's SEGA's fault for simply hurrying them along to get the game out on shelves. Just like Sonic 06, if the developers were given the proper time, then perhaps it could have been a decent game.

[The 10th Rider]

Eh, it might have been okay. But the game was clearly aimed at the same audience as the TV show, which is younger kids. No matter what it never would have been the type of Sonic game most people would want.

[Darkfist]

cant wait for sonic boom 2, plz sega make sonic longer and eggman fatter

[PhoenixUp]

I want to see a high class 3D Sonic that's outperforms Sonic Generations and another quality 2D Sonic

[generalwinter]

How about a 1st person pov sonic VR game? Now that would be cool.

[PhoenixUp]

That just sounds nauseating for many people who are subceptible to motion sickness.

Something gimmicky like that shouldn't be done.

[generalwinter]

Well it's essentially what is done with mirrors edge

[PhoenixUp]

That's a bad comparison.

- You don't run as fast in Mirror's Edge as you do in Sonic.
- Mirror's Edge is a platformer built for 1st person, while Sonic has always been a 3rd person platformer.
- A non-VR game has less of a chance of causing health issues than a VR game.

[DualWielding]

I want a game that follows the same formula as generations but has more content

[filchron]

Generations was BOOOORING. auto homing targeting. could they hold your hand anymore?

[MetroidFREAK21]

Sonic Adventure 3 please :)

[The 10th Rider]

With the chao garden, of course...

[filchron]

THIS

[DivineAssault]

The only thing sega has my trust with is Valkyria chronicles.. They shouldve kept platinum around since bayonetta is a great series.. Other than that, i really dont like what they make anymore and they used to be amazing.. I hope a new sonic game does come out but not this BOOM franchise... It needs a reboot of this reboot..

All the sprite based sonic characters from the past should be kept in mind.. No humans (other than robotnik) just the type of sonic games that made people love the series.. It went in all sorts of directions that i dont know if it has a true identity.. The last decent game i played was generations but there was only one playable character.. They couldve put tails and knuckles in there for alternate paths..

[Castlevania]

I know everyone hated on Sonic Boom, and they had many good reasons, but I'm still a bit excited for the upcoming Fire and Ice title. After seeing some gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/wat... ,I genuinely think I'm gonna buy this.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Take what you did with Sonic Colors and you don't have anything to worry about.

One of the best level in the game. For a Wii game graphically amazing.

[Atomicjuicer]

Sonic Generations Remastered on PS4 PLEASE SEGA

[TheColbertinator]

Sonic Chronicles 2 plz Bioware

[shadowknight203]

We are pleased to announce Sonic Adventure 3 *drops mic*

[Dangerous]

Sonic adventure 3 and other sega titles, that's all I want.

[Hanuman]

22 years without playing a Sonic game and counting! I'm more of a Mario guy.

[filchron]

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are really the only things youre missing out on. I love Mario too but id take those 2 games over the bland, atmospherically hollow Mario 3D World any day. That said hopefully Mario gets a rich and atmospherically immersive title on NX like Mario64 was when it first hit the scene.

[Eonjay]

I'm.... older then sonic.
