I haven't cared for Sonic in a long time. The reveal gameplay for Forces did catch my eye though. I don't know if the game will be good, but it at least looks fun.

Sega Sucks, Nintendo knows how to make games..

Sega and Sonic team just seem completely incapable of understanding that what made Sonic popular in the first place was that it was a fantastic platform game not a speed runner. Sure the Genesis/Megadrive era of games made their name on the fact that they played faster than the Mario games but speed wasn't what made the game fun. When you play through the original games in the series you will realise there is quite a lot of time where your actually stationary, waiting for the perfect time to attack enemies or lining up a jump etc. The game actually plays far more slowly than you would think and Sega don't seem to understand this.

Sonic Mania is looking like it will finally return Sonic to its roots but even this seems to be the side show to the next big evolution of the franchise. Sonic will never return to his previous success until the penny drops at Sega that people don't like this on rails, 100 miles per hour, 3d nonsense they keep producing. Mario's sucsess is based on the fact that the main entries into the series still feel like the same games that came out in the series 30 years ago, even the 3d versions play similar to the 2d entries. To me every Sonic game released after Sonic & Knuckles feels nothing like the games that made Sonic huge in the first place and each new entry takes us further away from that special formula.

I'm a huge fan of the original Genesis/Megadrive games, in fact when combined with Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles is my favourite game ever, I still play it regularly now, even after all these years. What that tells me is for Sega to recapture Sonics magic they need to go back and look at what made Sonic great in the first place. It's this Magic that has made Mario the number one gaming icon and kept Nintendo going strong after all these years, if only Sega could see what they have and stop trying to make Sonic something it's not.

And this gona end up bad, because instead of trying to make a gameplay that may work, they end up listening to some fanboys rant, or put gameplay because its popular, which is why im laughing at those idiots who used to be hyped for yooka-laylee lol.

I loved Sonic Generations actually. I never played Colors, but I heard it's good.
Well, as long as they expand on those games there is hope for Sonic.

I dont feel the fast sense of "sonic" anymore. Nier, dragon ball, naruto, tracer from overwatch, sometimes feels faster than sonic if not all the time.
We need the real super fast sonic. Not repetitive running sonic, at least bring back "Adventure".

Edit:
I googled about sonic speed and its more than 5000kmh (3000 MPH)!!! And we dont feel as speedy as GTAV cars :)
