Forums - Gaming - Why do sega insist on making rubbish 3D Sonic games?

Seece on 12 August 2009

After playing 'Splosion Man, I believe there is room for a massive 2D Sonic game to release, it's what they did best  and after crappy 3D sonic game after the other why do they keep on making them?! They know as well as us that a 2D Sonic is what everybody wants....

Going back to 2D still isn't a sure thing for Sega.

As to why they keep making Sonic games, he is their flagship mascot, and they have to keep him relevant don't they?

Sonic should probably just retire while he still has a somewhat favorable impression with the fanbase. It pains me watching such an iconic mascot get stuck in low rated games :\

They should really pull a Team Ninja and work alongside Nintendo. Nintendo requested help because Team Ninja was proficient in what Ninty wanted to accomplish with Metroid: Other M.

 

Sega needs at least a 3rd-string Nintendo team to help them out. Reach out to somebody for help! Sonic could be that guaranteed 3 million guy again lol

I hate the theory that sonic can only work in 2D....thats not true, Sonic can in 3D SEGA just need to better polish and bring new COOL ideas...I think Sonic needs a reboot.

Because in this market and enviroment... a bad 3D sonic game will probably outsell a good 2D sonic game.

I blame Sony. I think they were the ones who pushed 3D so hard in the PS1 era suggesting anything 2D was worthless. I know they put pressure on publishers like that anyway.

They need remove these big open worlds they keep forcing you through between the actual levels, Mario does the open world things but it is really small and the levels are moments apart, for some reason SEGA think a 3 minute travel to play the next level is fun.


They also need to remove the story they keep trying to give the games, does anyone really care? Does anyone want to listen to Sonic and co throw around words lines such as "Whoa Sonic, that is totally ridically cool, man!" like they are some kind of stereotype stoned surfer?


The also need to stop with these crappy Werehog/Knight crap.Nintendo tried that crap with Mario and FLUDD, they learned to not try it again quick enough. Sega seem hell bent on ramming something through.


It isn't that SOnic doesn't work in 3D is that since going 3D the Sonic games have been pumped full of crap that was never in the 2D games.

I'd like a short "Sonic Sez" after each level.

That was so sweet it eroded though my head.

Well no one can complain that they are not investing in Sonic atleast. Sonic Unleashed was one of the better looking games last year (sonic levels). Sounded good too... Sonic Unleashed really wasnt a terrible game if you go back and look at the whole package.

I agree with Seece though...Splosion man reminded me of old sonic games. They dont need to make sonic 2D but instead they should apply more platorming to the franchise. Sonic at full blast speed is nice but platforming aspect shouldnt be ignored.

The Werehog should be ignored however...
