Sonic Boom - The Game

[Edson Drake]

I'm looking at the past three main sonic games I really don't see where you got this
If anything, recent stories are far too silly, rather than epic. But the older Sonic fans seem to want the epic stories back.

What I want, is for them to just drop the shit all together, or just keep in minimal in similar form to the classic series. They can use the extra effort to actually release a good game. Last one was Unleashed and it still had shitty choices.

And wasn't that exactly what I said I wanted?

The epic part, let's see, taking the Sonic '06 as an example(I just watched a gameplay footage so it's still fresh on my mind), Sonic saves princess, another Hedgehog comes from the future, a hedgehog that has telekinetic powers, a hedgehog that totes a sub-machinegun, female hedgehogs that know kung-fu, the romance nonsense etc, etc.

That's the epic I'm talking about that should be dropped from the storylines. This is all for kids, an attempt to make the story interesting for new audiences.

make the game fucking good

My biggest Gripe with sega is they don't polish gameplay enough to remove any gamebreaking bugs. I know the sonic games for the genesis did have collusion detection bugs that allowed you to skip section of levels but ever since sonic moved to 3-D I've seen a plethora of bugs.

Dont cater to "adult fans"

I don't think this is a problem since kids and adults probably would play them just like the appeal Mario has on families. I hate how sonic had become Anime-ish. That's another thing that annoys me to no end because some of the newer characters feel outta place.

21 years later and I still want a Sonic SAT AM game.
Closest we got to that was Sonic Boom but it was towards a whole new direction plus badly made.

I mean look at this:

Spoiler!

Wouldn't this be the bees knees?
Of course now a days it would never happen and even if it did, it would most likely suck due to how SEGA has been doing things for the past decade... Looking back at Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations and Sonic: Lost World... it might be possibly be good since it was recent but, idk anymore.

Well, thing is, this was still a rushed licensed product, with the Sonic name on it. This game definitely suffered from the "rushed game is forever bad" idea as it could've been decent with more time in the burner. Maybe not everybody's favorite direction, but at least rock solid through more of it.

The crime is that it actually has some well done sections, in the game, that get lost within the not so well done stuff.

I actually think Jim Sterling hit a great nail on the head here. One issue is that SEGA keeps throwing out everything in making a new Sonic game. Maybe it is a victim of moving too many parts around trying to make a better game. This is one game series that can actually use a bit of slowing down, where they recycle ideas that worked very well and build upon them. That's pretty much how all the major successful franchises worked, new and old.

So before they go a little experimental, we can at least have a couple of guarranteed fantastic and polished Sonic games before it happens. Thus bringing up the quality at the cost of differences between releases.

I know some are ready to kill the Sonic franchise after a slipup, but if they Killed the Tomb Raider license after the absolutely horrendous Angel of Death...we'd actually never would've gotten an experience like the recent Tomb Raider reboot. Same thing could be with Resident Evil in which we still got things like Revelations.

Though I do hope this puts a stop to the notion of trying to make a Sonic game into a TV/Movie licensed franchise where it is rushed to make a viewing release date. This is the same kind of thing that often kills other games like "TMNT".
