Sonic Colors is one of my favourite games of all time. Yes, it is seriously that good.

Lost World is severely underrated. It is very fun.

Sonic Boom stinks so much it was kinda fun(ny) to play with my brother in-law.

Aside from Boom, I don't see any major issues with the franchise.

Generations and colors were good, I want to give them a chance, but then again there sonic 06 and boom

Sonic 06 was rushed and Sonic Boom wasn't made by Team Sonic. The next game in the Sonic franchise has been in development since at least 2013 (that's when Sonic Lost World released).

good points, though I don't know if I feel as if development time is a good indicator of quality. 

Well starting from the 7th gen...

Sonic '06 was a disaster.

Sonic Unleashed wasn't terrible as a whole, but slog to play through.

Sonic 4 Ep 1 was disapponiting. Ep 2 was better.

Sonic Adventure resmasters reminded us those games are hard to enjoy without nostalgia goggles.

There is Sonic titles we don't even speak of because they are deemed medicore or garbage. Such as Sonic Free Riders, Mario and Sonic Olympic games, Secret Rings, and Black Knight.

Some of those DS games were actually pretty and maybe should have come to consoles as digital releases.

The Sonic racing games are acutally great, I enjoy them even more than Mario Kart.

Its just been so much hit and miss. Also, the average Sonic fan isn't going to have every console. PS360 users that didn't have a Wii missed Sonic Colors. Wii only users missed Generations. I bet a lot of X1 and PS4 users would have enjoyed Lost Worlds, but we don't have it.

Still don't understand why SEGA just didn't take what Nintendo did with NSMB and reboot the Sonic franchise in 2D. It's nice that we eventually got Sonic 4 Episode 1 and Sonic Generations, but SEGA blew a huge opportunity and instead opted to continue their output of garbage 3D games in the series like Sonic '06, Sonic & The Black Knight, Sonic Unleashed, and of course the licensed pile of crap known as Sonic Boom.

At least they will try something right, unlike Shitnami.

Classic Sonic's always been overrated but sonic 2 and 3 were still good for their time. Honestly, despite it's flaws I thought that lost world was better than all the classic sonics generations was good too. Sonic adventure 1 and 2 were terrible though.

With so many vastly diffrent sonic games they'll never please everyone.

I really enjoy Sonic Generations, can't believe it didn't get stage DLC, but more of that would be welcome.
Honestly, just do Sonic 5 like capcom did megaman 9 & 10, charge $15 - $20.

Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, Freedom Planet is the where it's at. Lilac is the new Sonic.

They'll probably make a decent Sonic game only to abandon that game's potential in favour of Sonic '16.
