Well, I thoroughly disliked Sonic '06, Secret Rings, and Black Knight in addition to those three.

I didn't play black knight, but I had fun with the other 2. Sonic 06 is a gem, hilarious to watch/fun to play through once. Secret rings is fun while it doesn't get old.

 

if I had to rank 3D sonic games it would go like this:

SA1>generations>SA2>unleashed>colors>06>rings>lost world>heroes>shadow 

Unleashed, now there's another one I couldn't stomach. The daylight parts were good, but the Werehog was beyond awful...XD

I Liked the night sections, but they were too damn long. The platforming ristar alike was fun.

Depends on how popular the Tv show will be and how well the game reviews.

Everyone is expecting it to ne bad at this point. If it turns out it is good and the TV show is popular then i can see it outselling lost world, otherwise probably not.

Suffice it to say, I have more faith in the team behind Sonic Boom (Ex Naughty Dog crew) than I have in Sonic Team.

I know some people who got to play the game at sonic boom (The sonic festival), the gameplay felt slow just like the werehog for them.. At the very least I just can't see the sonic community liking the game.

Isn't the team behind Sonic Boom the guys that were originally on Crash Bandicoot? I'll take a shot on them. I do get the feeling though that people would be more excited for this game if it didn't star Sonic though. People would be looking at it like it could be a fantastic 3D open world adventure.

And Jak & Daxter. Ex-Naughty Dog veterans.

I agree that the fanbase won't like it, but I am not a Sonic fan. ;)

It will be a struggle, as a sonic fan Lost word didn't interest me and this even less so.

Makes sense!

but like previous said they should've made a new character all together, instead of sonic. Still with the tv show and such, at the very least the 3ds version will do alright, not sure about the wiiu one tho 

fun fact, the tv show will air only next year in Europe. Europeans represent the biggest chunk of sonic fans.
