Somehow in an attempt to modernise one of the blue hedgehog's best adventures, they have managed to make it worse.
"Time and time again it has been said that Sonic’s transition to 3D hasn’t been as easy as, say, a certain plumber’s. For that reason, I didn’t even touch a 3D Sonic game until 2011 when Sonic Generations came out. It’s also no secret that I am a HUGE Sonic fan and my heart lies in his heyday on the Sega Mega Drive and I didn’t want anything taking that away from me. I really enjoyed Sonic Generations, but apparently, I’ve missed out by skipping the Sonic Adventure games on the Dreamcast. Given the reputation, I think it’s acceptable to approach new 3D Sonic games with caution." Brian @ Thumb Culture
If you haven’t played it before, Sonic Colours: Ultimate is a fun experience on a beautiful space theme park that is ultimately let down by clunky controls.
Fans can imagine the development process was complicated, with budget or logistical issues surfacing that prevented Blind Squirrel Games from making the most of a bad situation, but Sega should have recognised these shortcomings to ensure Sonic’s legacy wasn’t squandered. Delay the game, or be honest with fans about the state of things.
Every couple of years it feels like the platforming mascot is moments away from superseding his usual reputation, until something like this happens and he’s dragged back into the pits to be made a joke of once again.
