Sega reaches out and puts (you) in charge of developing the next sonic game, you have full creative control, it can be whatever genre you want (within reason) the story can be whatever you want, and any of the main cast can be your main protagonist. What (you) say goes, so what do you decide to make the game about? Only one rule: no new characters, they must all be original characters from the previous games.
>>730570067Sonic but he Paul Bunyan
Road Rash style racing combat game with a moba-style action bar with each character having unique abilities and cooldowns. No ultimates or items or whatever though
>>730570067Sonic but he mainline Demerol
>>730570067I leave the concept to a Japanese game director, but I correct and cattle prod him like a batsu game every time he pitches a boring or stupid idea
>>730570067Sonic Advance 4
>>730570067Sonic RPG
>>730570320This could work with the storybook formula. Rouge but she's goemon could also be good
>>730570067rouge spinoff. sly cooper game but with a focus on aerial movement for her to fly. we can even give her skins with a ever so slightly revealing chest to act like we're not scared shitless to show any skin for her!
>>730571325The monkeys Paw curls and you get a girl boss desexualized rouge game packed with millennial writing
>>730571605can we at least have a good shadow inclusion?
Stylish action game with Shadow as the pc. The edgier and cornier the better, nu-metal soundtrack is mandatory, but the combat gameplay must be as fluid as it is fast most importantly. Think bayonetta 2 or MGR in the sonic setting.
Sonic but he Islamic
>>730570067>bring back the chao garden>make an app that ties into the chao garden so people can play with/raise their chaos like a tamagotchi>turn chao raising into the biggest AR cell phone craze since pokemon go>"but anon what about the main game?">fuck it
>>730570067Sonic Frontiers but polished.KH style command menu system (with reaction commands of course)The action stages still let you attack so you can use said attacks to augment the platforming . Take the synthesizer away from OhtaniGet Maekawa or Toyoda to write.Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow all playable
>>730571794You get one flashback cutscene to a shoe horned in moment from sonic heroes where she makes shadow look weak and stupid by saving him from something obvious and talking down to him about it
embezzle the funds to make something good instead
>>730570067It would be a disaster cause i have 0 experience at being a director
Sonic but he Disney Princess
>>730573148
>>730570067Remake Forces but good with more SA style gameplay
>>730570067A Sonic Adventure style game focusing on Team Dark.Shadow Adventure.
>>730570067Sonic World RPGHas a little bit of every type of sonic game that has ever been in it from open world to 2d to kart racing in a big open world with some silly save the world story tied to it even has fully animated cut scenes like the sonic show. Can unlock and play every character from the Sonic universe thats not pure chose evil
I really don't care much about the storyHere's my pitch for the gameplay though, full thing in pic related, but tl;dr:>SA2 speed stages/gameplay as a base, but with even more shortcuts and branching pathways (like Final Rush); with more classic sonic momentum systems, where even if you move fast easily like in SA2, tricks/score multipliers/moving down inclines allows you to move past the normal speed cap, in turn opening up even more shortcuts/tricks, etc.>Increased emphasis on score into a full style system a la the Tony Hawk games or DmC: WAY more variables for what gives points and linking actions together: wall running, grinding, choming attacks, jumping out of spindashes, etc, with different multipliers based on how you can chain the actions together without interruptions or downtime>Parkour mechanics. Wall running/jumping, grinding off of cliffs/platform edges, not just rails; more flourish animations like you could off of rail jumps or homing attacks like in SA2, different animations based on the timing/score bonus, being able to curl downhill to gain speed just like in the classic games but also a la in a skating game>Double down on the stylized, graffeti/punk aesthetic of Sonic Adventure's concept art, making the actual game look like that/with cel shading, ties into the whole parkour/jet set radio-esque stuff.>Take ideas from Spark the Electric Jester: A parry you can use to soak hits while still moving at high speeds; Have the Wisps back, but as actual movement or combat abilities you can swap between and use as part of your moveset in an organic, emergent way; not as forced level design gimmicksfeedback appreciated, as are suggestions for vaguely similar fangames (sonic storm for example, I think there were a few others, or like the mods that add SA2 levels into Bombrush Cyberfunk if those count).Also fangame devs feel free to steal ideas
>>730575391Now I want a Jet Set Radio game with the cell shading but with all Sonic characters and the story of the anime Air Gear
>>730570067Frontiers again but with better level designs. More diverse Islands.Bosses are fine with only quick time events being made faster, they're called quick time after all
>>730570067a chaotix game, simple as
