Now everybody knows about Sonic the Hedgehog. And if you are the very least informed about gaming you should know that Sonic is going through his very own Great Depression. What made this awesome franchise go to ruins?
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the ****storm of bad Sonic games started just after Sonic Adventure 2:Battle.I mean, it was a good game. Good character roster, two ways to finish the story, some minigames, and cool Sonic levels. Sure it wasn't as speedy as the 2D, but it was still good.
After that, Sonic Team thought it would be cool to experiment with the franchise, adding guns and swords to the mix. Obviously it wasn't well recieved. Although I actually thought about buying Sonic and the Black Knight, I opted against it later on, and I'm starting to wonder if the team should just stop making Sonic games.
You may want to kill me right now, but hear me up. Obviously everyone wants to save the Sonic franchise, but, should it be saved? Wouldn't it be easier to sleep at night knowing that our beloved hedgehog is not being mutilated once again?
Now, this raises another question. Sega is being godly right now, making dozens of incredible games, the Conduit and Valkyria Chronicles being just two of them. So why does Sega keep on releasing bad Sonic games? Is it Sonic Team?
So before ending my rant/discussion, I would like to ask the sonic fans here in SWF, what do you think could be done to have a good Sonic game?
One thing I think needs to be done is to kill off all of the unecessary chracters. Bye Cream, bye Big. Bye all of them. Keep Sonic, the heroe, Tails, the sidekick, Knuckles, the Anti-hero, Robotnik, the villain, and I suppose that Amy too. I don't think that Shadow is too bad, but he is nothing more than baggage to me.
