An evolution of Frontier's open zone with a more coherent open space to traverse. I understand to an extent why they did what they did with regards to the environment, but frankly, it still looks bad. Having a place that feels like a proper, real area in the Sonic world that's open to explore and do levels in sounds amazing. Expand on the parkour elements a bit, make wall-running not the weird shit it was in the Open Zone, give the player the drop dash from the start, and it'll be great. If one thing seems to be relatively true, it's that SEGA was listening very attentively to Frontiers' criticism and addressing it, so I'm hopeful they take what's given, and what they've learned, and make whatever comes after Frontiers even better.

What I want is more personalized-looking environments too. I can't say I was a fan of a lot of Final Horizon's challenge areas since most of them were unfun and abstract platforming puzzles that focused more on trying to be tough than enjoyable, but what really made them suck was just how blatantly low budget they all looked. The closest thing I can think of is ReCore of all fucking games, with its platforming assets randomly floating in the air for the player to traverse until something happens. It's just sloppy and if Frontiers was made during the AI astroturfing phase, it would be easy to say it looked like Sega just told Groknic to generate some level design segments. Final Horizon is so ugly and bad, just everything they dumped on the island clashes with the island aesthetic as well as the characters themselves to the point it looks like a fan game using basic Unreal assets with no changes or something. Shadow Gens was much better, the hub is a playground though so it mostly just relies on the power up gimmicks so it would be nicer to see something like that but as a level instead.

Nah, fuck zoomers. You guys have missing bone structure around the prefrontal cortex, and you lack some fundamental understanding of your surroundings. The antagonism does nothing good for the series or its fandom. People who played Babysitting cream when they were 15 year old are often dads today, and I don't think they're maltreating their children. Come off it you dumb fucks. Tails isn't 12. The pages where Shadow fucks him in the ass in Furry Bomb #4 almost made me gay, and it's still a pretty good fap. That's all!

Yeah, essentially my thought as well. I'm hoping that they continue to learn and evolve. Maybe even let us play as the others again. Granted, they're god awful in combat, which is a real shame, but just getting to see and feel how they control again is already a huge plus; it's been years. I'm excited and hopeful regardless.

>>737508905
In my book what Pontac & Graff did for writing/characterization is better than what Ian Flynn is doing.
You probably disagree but I just wanna stress that, because there's no unanimous consensus that Ian Flynn's Sonic is a good one. The IDW style of writing also don't reflect the games or their canon properly.
As far as I'm concerned good writing/characterization is what we got in SA1, SA2, Sonic 06 (for the most part), Secret Rings and Black Knight, and Sonic Colors as far as Sonic himself goes.
As for Amy, I only think she's the "same" character in SA1/2/06/Unleashed and Sonic Rush. I don't like what the westoid writers have done to her, and Boom canon is a seperate character roster, which was fine in its own right.

I want Sonic to actually be a shithead punk again who likes his friends but isn't afraid with messing with them, and is constantly throwing himself into the craziest situations on his own whim rather than being forced into them constantly.

I want Eggman to be the villain and to actually be fucking competent. No new antagonist taking the spotlight until the very end. No Eldritch Monster number 352 going out of his control. No creation of his suddenly taking over. I want Eggman in a giant fucking mech that is truly at risk of taking over the world. Also I want to see those two little faggot robots of his get turned to scrap and never used ever again.

Adventure gameplay. Boostshit is fucking BORING. It's been done to death. Shadow Generations is obviously the last time they are going to make that work. There is NOTHING new or creative you can do with it now while Adventure gameplay has only 2-3 iterations and wasn't nearly explored well enough. Classic would also be fine but it's also been done to death.

A new aesthetic. Ever since Sonic Unleashed, Sonic has looked boring and completely uninspiring. No crazy and fun vistas. No abstract worlds. No gritty but colorful worlds like Adventure 1 and 2. It's just uninspiring bullshit that doesn't say anything. Hire an actual artist to revamp the design of the aesthetic while maintaining the core aspects of the characters involved.

I haven't looked at Frontier at all, but I agree that the Adventure games and the Story book games were some of the best characterization the series has had. They're actual characters with growth and beliefs that they fight for even to the detriment of others, rather than endless quip machines. Even if Sonic Team wanted to make a more coherent game again, I don't think they could achieve the harmony between the writers, artists, and programmers that was required to make something like Adventure 2 (something that they lost immediately with Heroes)

>>737512013
I agree that boost gameplay doesn't lead to good Sonic games. Boosting is based on a misguided notion that Sonic games HAVE to be fast, because he's only about SPEED and nothing else, which is wrong. Speed was the reward for being good at the game, not a requirement. Adding boost to a Sonic game ruins the gameplay and the level design, forcing levels to be long, straight corridors because you're moving so fast that you can't turn properly, and so to have some semblance of gameplay they add those lane-switching buttons and now the game is just fucking Temple Run.

>>737512354
Characterization is different than story, even the classic 2D games have it. Though a story does provide a lot more opportunity for characters to exhibit their characterization, and Sonic games were once good at that too

Adventure 1 is so good IMO. It actually feels like it's writing for something that's not a Sonic game, applied to, and fleshing out the Sonic characters for the very first time. Akinori Nishiyama was great, and it's a shame he quit and made Dimps instead of writing more games. The storybook games have the lore of the storybooks and characters repurposed as such, but they really brought Sonic's personality to life in those. They have some of my favorite in-gameplay dialogue exchanges, like Sharia being cautious and Sonic going "Omg, a barrel, let's go! WOHOO!" while you're running, which really characterizes him while he's doing his thing.

Nope. What I love in particular about Sonic is that it never stopped being different. I love the Fail era of Sonic 06 to Unleashed, where the games started being genuinely terrible, but they had all this MTV style rock music, and a real "feeling" about them. I liked the first 3D games for just being good at maturing Sonic, until they over-matured him in 06 because they got confused about what to do with graphics becoming realistic and "Sonic". I like the Sanic era because back then in order to get approval as a Sonic fanboy you had to admit that the franchise was gay and cringe and the fans were weird and creepy, so the games starting to be self-ironic and 4th wall breaking made sense. Colors was good. Lost World sucked. Forces made my afternoon on a Wednesday in 2017 and that made me smile the rest of the week. (Relevant song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4W84mWqFZg) and then Frontiers was like "okay, Sonic is kinda good again!" even though I hate Open World, but like BotW I like Open World a bit more when it takes the core loop of the non-open-world levels and just replicates it to generate a level-based "flow" in the open world.
Shadow Gens is just genuinely good, but I have issues with Ian Flynn's writing style and the clumsiness of its nostalgiawank narrative. But it's still good.

In fact I'm just a bit concerned that Sonic is becoming too "normal" now. It was a franchise I had that I knew was an outsider like myself, always there "trying", while other franchises just did the expected thing. In a way that made Sonic games unique and you never just got a repeat of something that worked the first time.

Maekawa is directly responsible for the disaster of 06 and almost butchered Adventure 2 earlier. He was great at writing Shadow, but couldn't handle larger stories where he had to juggle a larger character cast and multiple plot threads.
>>
>>737515742
For me it's
Nishiyama > Maekawa > Yoji Ogawa > Yoshimura > Pontac > Ian Flynn
Dunno who the other ones are. A cute little fangirl did an interview with Maekawa not too long ago and he confirmed both that 06's entire dialogue was Yoshimura's (but he wrote the plot draft) and that Yoji Oogawa rewrote 50% of Secret Rings after Maekawa had done his, and then he had to rewrite bits and pieces, so a lot of Secret Rings is actually not Maekawa, although Black Knight was 100% Maekawa's. Also, I guess Iizuka did an OK job on Shadow. People dunk on it, but I think most of the characters felt like themselves at least, it's just the story of vindicating Gerald retroactively as a good guy was lame.

Pretty much why I liked Pontac & Graff I think. Reading that the JP team got confused by Ian's dialogue and had to rework it for the JP actors because it sounded unreadable made me a bit :/
I believe Ian is coming at the character from the wrong end. I think it was Maekawa who said that Sonic is a "fairy" in his stories. He's written to be undefeatable and OP, but he's also a fairy to another character in the story. He's someone that comes into this world, and whisks away when he's done inspring it with his awesomeness. That is basically how he helps Shadow in SA2, Elise in 06, Sharia in Secret Rings and Chip in Unleashed. And even in Pontac's games the JP writers wrote it where he's an aid to the aliens, or the inspiration for the avatar, and in Frontiers I felt like emphasis went away from Sonic and instead over to Eggman and the girl, but Sonic kinda doesn't have a moment where he changes the girl. It just has suddenly happened because she says so.

The emphasis in previous games was where someone is struggling either against a bully or with self esteem, and then Sonic shows up and you observe his awesomeness, and the world becomes happier, through observing his actions. I felt like that emphasis was a bit muted in Frontiers when most of the game is just Sonic being next to his friends and mulling over some thoughts.

We got the archie meme man himself, the savior of western sonic, and he gave us references galore and "actually the chao were retardified versions of aliens and the emeralds came from space" which answered literally no questions despite frontiers being a lore game which is supposedly his expertise.

You're a complete retard. In mainline classic, all the games are speed platforming and every character can play the game normally. Starting with Adventure, there are specifically speed platforming levels and then everybody else's levels. I'm disappointed but not surprised that I need to explain this to you.

Thread should have ended here. If a 2D Sonic game doesn't allow you to do everything on the top section, it's not worth playing. Superstars should have never been released, Mania 2 should have been the game to focus on, and tell Stealth or whoever else to get over themselves and learn how deadlines and budgets work, alongside marketing. They weren't ready to play with the big boys.

>>737517053
As another anon said, they gave up on hoping the gameplay was good and focus on everything but the gameplay instead. This is why they also put so much stake into the movies.

Ian was in the right place, at the right time. Acknowledging older pieces of Sonic that SEGA refused to tickled people the right way. So much so, that they wanted him to write for the games not realizing that the games had way more problems than just having dumbed down plots starting with Colors. But those were always secondary fans who were only into the comics and cartoons and admitted it.

Yeah, and it ties into another problem I have with any IP that's around 30 years minimum: Being celebratory. When the only thing you can do is spin your wheels on your past entries or victories, you're becoming stagnant. If you're only leaning on callbacks instead of making a new game with its own elements, that's another problem. It's nice to see an IP surviving for so long but the people behind it can't forget that new games are needed to keep it healthy.

Non-gaming elements shouldn't take priority over the games either.
>>
>>737525678
Shiro Maekawa said it best: I want someone to give a new spin on the characters, like we did going from the Genesis games to Modern Sonic.
He came on, didn't like Genesis era Sonic, and the team made Modern Sonic and more "anime" Sonic stuff.
They just need someone else to do a new rendition on Sonic, not as a spinoff, but the main Sonic, like DK Bananza (but more), where there is a new design, which looks weird at first and it creates debate, but surely over time, it has a fandom of its own, new and old, and the games have a slightly different tone and emphasis than the rest.

Modern Sonic is played out, and the only way to keep going with it, is to be self-referential and celebratory, or have Ian Flynns writing fanon out of it. It's time to create something new.

He's always been that he's never stopped being that.
>I want Eggman to be the villain and to actually be fucking competent.
We've had this for about 10-15 years and it's completely antithetical to who Eggman is fundamentally. Eggman at his core is a manchild that's almost always in over his head, that's his defining characteristic. For Eggman to be the "final villain" you have to do either 1 of 3 things,
Have the game be smaller in scope
Shoehorn Eggman as the final fight at the end when the game is effectively over
Change Eggman's personality.
This is why IDW's Eggman is the way he is and why he's so shit; they give him too much presence as some endgame supervillain when he's not even close to that so whenever Flynn writes him it seems ridiculously out of character. Symbolically, Eggman doesn't represent industrialization, he represents mankind's foolishness in messing with the order of things. With all of the Eldritch monsters of the week, Eggman has always been the catalyst for their appearances and that's by design because those monsters are the consequences of his actions.

Eggman is extremely competent and always has been, you're seeing it from Sonic's perspective because Sonic is always lucky and badass so Eggman looks like a scrub in comparison.
>>
>>737547323
Eggman is competent to an extent but his ego and childishness always gets in the way which is why he fails all the time. SA2 is a very clear example of this because that's Eggman at his most competent. He broke into multiple top secret bases effortlessly, found what is effectively a superweapon and tricked Tails into giving him a chaos emerald. However due to his nature as a egomaniac manchild, Eggman is unable to forsee that Shadow and posthumously, Gerald were using him for his own ends. It's also why he gets all uppity after him blowing up the moon doesn't garner the reaction he wants.

They didn't. The ones that did just got older and most likely simply stopped interacting with the fanbase or engaged with Sonic threads here because there wasn't anything left to discuss. Sonic Team will never understand what needs to be fixed, you will always be disappointed, there will always be room for improvement, etc, etc.

But the other reason is the kids that grew up with the era of Sonic that focused more on story and characters are now the majority of fans, so they naturally don't give as much of a shit about gameplay. Pic related, even if it's a tiny sample size, it sort of shows this off. Given another poll on a larger forum would yield similar results. This isn't to say that older Sonicfags didn't care more about characters than gameplay, given the comicfags. Whom I have no beef with. They know their place and are happy to stay there as video games are the worst format for telling a Sonic story. (It ALWAYS ends with the gameplay being worse due to divided resources, and there's less time to let a story breathe by the nature of the games' pacing.) Something zoomers have no concept of because that's all they've known.

Tangent: 2000s kids are soon to be usurped by movie kiddies, which I will watch with great amusement. They made a big deal about preaching to us older fans that Sonic is a "MULTIMEDIA FRANCHISE NOW OK CHUD" and we shouldn't get so bent out of shape when people don't care about gameplay anymore even if it's thoroughly mediocre and obviously needs to be prioritized first since they are, you know, video games. Enjoy getting talked down to in ten years by an alphie who insists that Sonic MCUquipping and having electric based speed powers are actually a staple of the franchise and that you're being weird for disagreeing.

>b-but Sonic was always a multimedia franchise
In the 90s he wasn't. He was still primarily known for his games first. Now it's the other way around, sadly.

I was already fearing this back in 2018. The 'fans' don't give two shits about the gameplay like you said, but the people who started off with Sonic via the films are the ones I'm worried about, they'll likely NOT play the games and push for more movies, shows and comics, anything but the games. It doesn't help that video games are taking five to eight years to be released so you don't even get the amount of variety that you from 2001 to 2006 anymore. It's not just SEGA, it's across the board. Imagine waiting four years for a shitty game. Now imagine waiting six years for another shitty game with nothing in-between.

You're better off watching the games instead of playing them.

>2000s kids are soon to be usurped by movie kiddies, which I will watch with great amusement. They made a big deal about preaching to us older fans that Sonic is a "MULTIMEDIA FRANCHISE NOW OK CHUD"
For all the issues the 2000s kids have, none of them were saying this. You have them mixed up with the large influx of COVID tourists that invaded literally every single space imaginable. Gameplay is obviously important but when the gameplay faltered you at least had the story and there has to be a balance of both because like it or not Sonic is/was always meant to have a story/message baked into it as early as Sonic 1.
>(It ALWAYS ends with the gameplay being worse due to divided resources)
You don't even know what you're talking about, nor do you understand how game development works. The resources are divided 90% of the time, due to Sega's retarded micromanagement. Not everyone on a game dev team is a programmer and if they are then they don't specifically create one type of thing.
As a matter of fact it seems your whole post just comes off as a bitter whiny millennial projecting his own bullshit onto the younger generations as always. You're trying to start shit when you don't even understand what people have an issue with and why. It's because of people like you that we get shit like the Silent Hill 2 remake.
>>

Imagine a Sonic game that only has Sonic playable. Because it has only one playable character means that 100% of the stages in the game are played by that character.
If the game had 4 playable characters that all had extremely different gameplay style then each character would only get to play through 25% of the stages if they were distributed equally.
In this case you would only get 25% of a Sonic game because all the other characters don't share the same gameplay.

>Sorry you're 10 years late to the party
I've been aware of that since 2011 when Generations didn't replicate Sonic's classic gameplay. Mania did however and they never tried to keep that train going. Superstars was a derailment.
>As a matter of fact it seems your whole post just comes off as a bitter whiny millennial projecting his own bullshit onto the younger generations as always. You're trying to start shit when you don't even understand what people have an issue with and why. It's because of people like you that we get shit like the Silent Hill 2 remake.
A hit dog hollers. You're exactly the person he's talking about on that poll, a storyfag who got too comfortable with the games being shit.

We're talking about Sonic Team's shitty development cycle. Do you think it takes the same amount of time to make every single character. Have you ever worked a job in your life?

I stopped playing the games after Generations. When I saw Lost World I pretty much accepted that the series is effectively dead because there's no vision. I'd rather they have both good gameplay and consistent characterization. Also I'm still right and my point still stands

Most resources are spend on the stages, not characters
