How to Improve the Sonic Franchise V2

[Eruption]

I think they should start again.

Remake the first game, second game and all games up until the original series got bad then carry on from there and hopefully get much further along this time and correct any mistakes in the last game in the next game not decades later.

I think they need to stop trying to be more recent and they should go 2D and try not to make the graphics mindblowing. I guess what Im saying is they should be like XBLA titles but that'll never happen.

Guys here's a fun fact. Replace the word "Sonic" with "Mario" in this thread and it's all still relevent!

OPP, you have some good ideas, but i think it's time Sonic was laid to rest (alongside Mario)

I say this every time something like this comes up and I just get ignored XD

People just don't want to accept it.

That's probably because people think you're trolling. I, for instance, think you're trolling.

It is called an opinion.

This is trolling:

"OMFG DA STUPD HEDHOG IS CRP!"

Just because you don't agree with a comment, doesn't mean you can just ignore it.

Really? Your post didn't read very much like an "opinion" to me. In fact, your "people just don't want to accept it" line really made it seem as though you were trying to pass off your statement as some kind of definite fact. :shocked:

And if it was just your opinion, then you should probably have been clearer about it. If I were to post something as subjective and controversial as "both the Sonic series and the Mario series should end, and their fanbases are deluded for disagreeing", then I'd be sure to add something like "in my opinion" at the end, just to let people know that I'm not trolling.

And by the way, trolling isn't just about making unintelligible posts without any real reason. Trolling is posting something with the sole intent to annoy somebody. To me, it seemed as though that was what you were doing.

Oh, and you succeeded, if you hadn't already guessed.

You should re-read then. My opinion was that SONIC GAMES ARE DEAD. If you really do enjoy Sonic tennis XXXXII then fine. But I feel sorry for you.

OMG THANKS FOR TELLING ME HOW TO POST!!!! NEVER KNEW THAT BEFORE!!!!!!11!!1

Was, "Sonic is crap" not annoy you? Oh? It did? Well we have a winner.

If you really want to continue this lost discussion. VM me as I don't want to clog up the OG anymore.

Stop him trying to be every bloody Nintendo character bring him back to his roots but leave him on the DS and or PSP only. Console gaming won't do him any good.

I wasn't trolling. =/ I was stating that it's all well and good people pick on Sonic for being repetative, boring and overmilked, but it is far from the only series, especially when a lot more people like Mario which is easily a lot worse for milking itself dry than the Sonic franchise. Then I said I think both should be laid to rest/discontinued. Sorry if you got the wrong end of the stick, I didn't intend to cause any aggro, just wanted to highlight that maybe it's time everyone left off of Sonic, the fans, the haters, the developers and just let it remain a classic.

See, I really think SEGA has the potential to pour a lot of money into a Sonic game and make it really good, but why would they bother when they can make crappy games and still get a lot of money from it? Sonic is like most Nintendo franchises in the sense that you could put out almost anything and the consumer would buy enough copies for them to make a profit, so they don't need to waste the time or effort making something better. Another good example of this is the console Pokemon games, which are still reusing the crappy Pokemon models from all the way back in Stadium. Battle Revolution was a piece of garbage, and I bet Nintendo knew this yet realized they'd make a crapload of money either way because it was Pokemon.

And I think a lot of you are looking in the wrong direction. Taking Sonic back to his roots would be nostalgic, sure, but it's not going to generate any new interest in a world that's starting to look at the new while frowning upon the old. I really don't think another sidescrolling 2D game would be any more beneficial than another linear 3D one. They need to improve upon what they have now, since if they go back to the past most people will just turn the other cheek.

Forgot another one:

Linear gameplay

One of the reasons I liked Sonic Heroes was the linear gameplay. You had two acts before a boss and then a boss. Sonic Adventure 2 kinda had the idea but there was only one act. Hub worlds break up the gameplay too much. Hated it in Sonic Adventure, hated it even more in Sonic 06, kinda bare-able in Sonic Unleashed. But no. Hub worlds and Sonic games don't mix.
