Perhaps unpopular opinion, but Sega leans on Sonic too much. I would love to see them dip into Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Skies of Arcadia, Jet Set, etc. Feels like there is some great games that just don't get enough love.

Well Jet Set is coming anyway, don't know about the rest. Sega confirmed the following series have new games in development (Virtua Fighter, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, and Alien Isolation).

We saw footage of Crazy Taxi and Jet Set leak ages ago. Will be interesting to see how they've evolved from this early footage with an additional 2+ years of development.

Almost finished Crossworlds, put 22 hours into it. All I have left to do is grind tickets to buy the remaining shop items and see how high I can get on multiplayer ranking.

**** me, I did not know Jet Set was in development.  Thank you!

Well, we have our Amy for the fourth movie!

Edit: If we can get her to sing and record a cover version of “Follow Me,” Team Rose’ theme from Sonic Heroes, I will be SO HAPPY!!!

It was pretty obvious they were going to pick a celeb, but Kristen Bell was one of the best choices. I could so see Anna Kendrick as Amy, but Kristen is one of the best possible picks.

Yeah, this sounds about right. I personally see 2027 as being the year. Would love to be wrong though— it’s been too long since Frontiers! We need a new mainline 3D Sonic game ASAP (though I also want a good game…so no rush).

(I saw the headline “Sonic the Hedgehog 4 revealed for March 2027” and got so confused lol. I thought Sega just randomly decided to drop a reveal for a follow up to Sonic & Knuckles (forgetting the Sonic 4: Ep. 1+2).) Anyways, I’ve never watched any of these Sonic movies… but maybe I’ll change this someday.

The first movie is just okay, it was salvaged from the disaster it was originally set to be, but the movie itself is still not even that much of a Sonic thing, or very good either. I watched it on the movie teather back then and was midly pleased.

I haven't seem 2 or 3 but those sound like way better movies and mostly about Sonic, should be pretty decent recommendations to watch.

They get better with each movie, with 3 easily being the best of the 3. 3 was still a flawed but kind of good movie.

4 could be the best one yet.
