Havent liked a sonic game since the ps2/gamecube days, not sure why ppl still want to believe that sega can make a great sonic game again. Didnt overhype up forces like everyone else did lol.

What’s funny is Sonic’s spinoff games ( Sonic racing and that rpg on ds) have been higher quality than their Main games lately

"When we see the reactions that Mania got," says Nakamura, "the entire team sat down and thought it was really interesting, and we should break down what people liked about Mania, and in the future—when we build our 3D games—see what essence we can take from Sonic Mania and put into a 3D world, to give people what they're looking for and that they've found in Sonic Mania."

It's a high chance that they're finally making a true 3D platforming Sonic game and that they were already in too deep with Forces to cancel it. Mania 2 3D? More in the coming years I guess. I don't think Sonic Team should direct this next game though. It's far too ambitious and I don't think they could pull it off at all given their track record.

They should let Nintendo Mario team make the next one, i know it will be an switch exclusive but i just want to see what Nintendo could do with the game......or Sony team little big planet or uncharted team.......let others get a chance sega and then your team can take the blueprint and make the next game on their own

SONIC MUST DIE!

"Sonic Team's Sonic Forces takes the speedy blue hedgehog to a new low"

Oh please, could you be anymore dramatic ? Letting Big Red Button develop two Sonic games was the lowest it's been.

Agree with this. If there's anything that's making 3D Sonic suck, it's the Sonic Team. They just don't know what makes Sonic games fun. They don't look at the past instalments, look at what worked, what didn't, and iterate. They pack every new game with wild and wacky ideas that just don't work out, likely due to a lack of playtesting, and any real understanding of what players want from the games.

The problem is the fanbase. Sonic's fanbase is so toxic it's what's ruining Sonic.

They should revolutionize Sonic where he throws a needle and possesses the opponents.

True game changer.

Modern sonic games are good enough for the kids they're aimed at I think. The plots, music and voice acting alone are enough to turn most adults away. I think the problem is older people trying to put too much of their expectations for what the series should be on these games. I loved sonic adventure and the originals too, but that time is over.

It's sad....but they've lied too many times saying they will "focus on quality over quantity".

Sonic team is not what it used to be 😒

If Sonic Team isn’t going to produce other IPs like they used to in the past, they better damn well sure make every Sonic be as critically acclaimed as possible.

I don't think Sonic ever really worked all that well in 3D to begin with. Or 2D for that matter. Sonic Mania was pretty fantastic, with being able to have retrospect on early game design, but if you look back on even the old Sonic games, they really weren't that great from a design standpoint. Sonic had stellar art, great character design and music that stood apart from the competition at the time.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
