Because Sonic rubbish games keep on selling. The last decent Sonic game was Sonic adventure in Dreamcast. Every new Sonic game is worse than the previous one

Sonic adventure 2. Really? That game was to me when it all started to go wrong. Shadow replaced Metal Sonic, who is a much more natural rival to sonic considering the robot theme. The story and art design had nothing to do with how a Sonic game should look and feel, and they had all these boring characters in between the Sonic stages. *sigh* At least the gameplay was good, and the game had Green Hill Zone. |
Yes, really. I must say though, that I don't think it's that bad to step away from the roots a little as long as it is done well. SA2 was - in my opinion - just a superb game, the level design was creative and varied, the core gameplay was fun, and yes, I also enjoyed the "boring characters" in between the Sonic stages :) And come on, you can't say that it wasn't a real sonic game, Metal Sonic or not, the feeling was classic... and the Chao breeding was addicting ;) But it's not like I can't understand your opinion - especially with established franchises, it is always difficult to try something (too) different.

No, I blame the logical shift in the market towards 3D. And since Sony systems have been host to 2D style games (Disgaea, Little Big Planet), I wouldn't say they're to fault.
Oh, and Sonic sucks because the developers suck. The 3D Sonic games on the Dreamcast were great.

You sure that was Sony and not Nintendo? |
Pretty sure. I mean by the time the N64 came out it was irrelevent.
Pretty sure Sony had some weird 3D policy. Not allowing a 2D game unless you had so many 3d ones in production. somethin weird.
In order to show off the 3D capabilities of the PS1..SONY demanded no 2d games in the beginning of the consoles, but as the PS1 became the mainstream choice and games like Megaman 8 and Castlevania proved 2D was still popular SONY let up
The first 3-D Sonic was good. 3-D is not the problem, quality is.
Sega is one of the publishers I just don't understand this gen.
They release mature games on the Wii and fail very bad. Call it what you wanna call it, but 200k for the conduit is bad. 250k for madworld is meh and 340k for HotD isn't hot either
They develop Yakuza 3, which looks good and was probably not cheap to develop esclusivly on the PS3 and ONLY in Japan. I think this game could have done pretty well in US and Europe, too.
They have a lot of great franchises, but manage to ruin them all. Condemned had the potential to get pretty big, Sega Rally is dead, Virtua Fighter is just not as good as the competition (SC, SF, DoA, Tekken)...
what about
I don't get, that a company that gave me sooo many great games in the past generations, fails to deliver this gen.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Words from someone who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Indeed. Virtua fighter is one of the most balanced and competitive fighters ever. Don't even mention it in the same sentance as Tekken.
I LOVE ICELAND!
Most people here haven't played the latest Sonic games but complain anyway.
