If the core of his games isn't about running fast, why is he still called Sonic????
I said it wasn't about just running fast. Speed is obviously a big part of his game, a big part of of how he brought something new to the platforming genre, but he's still a platformer at his core.

3D blast is my favorite sonic game
Me before getting flooded with dislikes.
Sorry, we don't have dislikes in this part of the internet. If you go over yonder, you can find a place called Youtube where there's a sufficient supply of dislikes available.

The day time gameplay of Unleashed is pretty darn good too.

Sufficient? I'd say it's a lot more than just sufficient.

but the unleashed-esque games still had platforming. lol
it's true that sonic games are platformers, but it's worth saying that speed kinda matters.

Actually, Transformed is the fourth instalment. Before All-Stars Racing, there was SEGA Superstars (which revolved around minigames based on SEGA characters) and SEGA Superstars Tennis.
Following logic, yes, you're correct. But Transformed is still the direct sequel to the first All-Stars Racing.

I guess I should've done a better job explaining what I meant. But (if you don't mind that is) I urge you to watch this section of ShayMay's overview of the Sonic franchise to better understand where I'm coming from:


This guy does an amazing job at capturing exactly the problems, the strengths, the elements of what makes a good Sonic what it is. You don't have to watch the whole thing right now, but it's a really good and in-depth overview of the series looking forward.

I think that, unlike other games, I'd rather not get spoiled until release, even if it is the very beginning.

But thanks anyway. :)
not much spoilers tbh, in fact, we lack so much info, it';s just safe to watch this.

The best we know of the plot is luigi knocks a book and paper world appears.

We don;t know anything of the book other than it looks like the SS one.

Seriously, you should watch it, it's like the trailer features mostly with details.

You guys are aware of good Sonic fangames, right? Visit Retro sometime, there's plenty.

This one comes with an OC but don't be fooled, the animations are so fluid.


This one's my most anticipated for SAGE.


This one's dedicated to Metal Sonic.

All of them look good, but the second one gained my attention because it features the time elements introduced in Sonic CD...
& Knuckles.
