[I'd rather like Sega making like 7 Sonic games a year instead of 1(with spin-offs)

I wouldn't. If Sega made that many Sonic games a year, they'd be more likely to rush their work, which wouldn't help them to make better Sonic games at all. =/
 
Ok I think I overestimated the games and included all the Sonic games I got 2007-2008. XD

2008
S&M - GOOD
Sonic Rush Adventure - GREAT
Sonic Chronicles(Sonic game amirite?) - Mixed mediocre or AWESOME
Sonic Riders ZG - Mixed
Sonic Unleashed - Wii = Good
SATBK was in devlopment this year...
 
Autosaver, your mindset is in the wrong place. Quantity is vastly different from quality, and quality's what Sonic needs most. Rushing to get a Christmas release has been what's hurt SEGA in the past.

If what you've said is true about the games you presented, then setting all that energy for one game for that year would truly have made it a masterpiece. Frankly, I prefer one awesome Sonic game over five "mehs".

Also, I think most people have the opinion that Zero Gravity sucks.
 
I don't know BW but theres one thing.

Sonic appeals to kids the most.
Every kid usually says sonic is awesome or good.

Its the adults or older people that usually say Sonic sucks.
Every Sonic game I owned IMO was AWESOME! I don't know....maybe its jsut I am a kid.

Also,have you ever played Sonic Rush Adventure?That could be considered Sonics Master Piece of 2008
 
Yes, it was one of the few good games they've thrown out in ages. Like I've said, everything here lately is crap. I don't even buy sonic games anymore. I borrow or rent them.
 
My favourite sonic game so far Is SA2B, That game has a total play time of 90 hours.
As for the new ones It is a mixed bag, I liked ZG, but didnt like SCTDB that much, as for SU, I loved half of it (day) but despised the other (Night)
 
I say, "Neither Sonic Chronicles nor Unleashed were mediocre. As a surprising return to be the best, Sonic dominated the game industry."

That's my say on the matter of what the two most anticipated Sonic games of 2008 were. They were far from mediocre. They were incredible.

Although..... I wouldn't mind seeing some classic Sonic soon, if (the new) Sonic Team should rise to the occasion.

If Sonic got the boot do you know how much that might affect SRB2's popularity?

Extremely? Uh... I don't know...

I just know that if Sonic gets cancelled then, SEGA's gone for good, and the fans are going to start a riot. You know they'll start a riot. Me? I'll just be crying in the corner complaining about how unfair that move was. Nah.... What? You thought I'd really do that? Wow... Anyways, I'd do my best to revive him. How so? I'm a determined fan. I'll do it one way or another.
 
Remember old times right? at the beggining of the game it said ¨Presented by SEGA¨ and then it said ¨Developed by Sonic Team¨ well, now it just says SEGA and/or the operative program, thats because those games aren´t really made by the long gone Sonic Team.

But instead, they decide to throw the OTHER hedgehog off of the ARK and kill him, only to recreate him as an android. One of SEGA's biggest goofs ever.
 
They really need a new classic styled game for WiiWare (as if it wasn't stated a million times). I think it would be somewhat of a lifesaver for sonic. I would totally buy it too.

I see no point in this thread. Sonic will NOT be canceled. He's slowly getting better.

Now... I really dont think that thats true. 0.0'
Take a look at the score on these:

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/sonicunleashed/index.html

NOW... Take a look at these...

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/sonicthehedgehog2/index.html

http://www.gamespot.com/dreamcast/action/sonicadventure/index.html?tag=result;title;2

http://www.gamespot.com/dreamcast/a...m_clk=gssimilargames&tag=similargames;title;1

How's that for SLOWLY GETTING BETTER? The newer the game = the worst the score... The Sonic 1 2 3 & sonic adventure games are full of win. Yet the Sonic 06 sonic unleashed & sonic chronicles got: "Fair", poor, BAD.

So is he gettin' better? Uh uh. But sonic in my opinion is great... All the other people don't think so. >_- So weather we think he's good or not dosen't really count unless one of us joins Sonic Team and "fixes" the franchise so all the other people would like it.

T.T Sadly this is what the future (2013) will say about sonic:

" The Sonic the hedgehog franchise "used" to be a good franchise. It ran its best years in 1991-2002, but sadly ratings droped in the games after and it had to be canceld. There after caseing the demise of the Sonic team, and soon after, Sega."

Its just sad aint it?
 
For Sonic, SEGA are making it more and more like a cashcow. The whole "let's make new ideas" thing is what is making it more unlike what the older Sonic fans are used to. Werewolves, knights and swords, Arabian Night storybook worlds, etc, are just ways of trying to make something repetitive seem new.

Compare Insomniac to SEGA. Resistance or Ratchet & Clank games come out every year and a bit, whereas Sonic games come out two at a time earlier. Like what other people have probably stated, they are rushing the games to get a profit bigger.

Unleashed itself was good, it's just that they could have made it completely "old school" gameplay without the Werehog (as people like JEV3 state, it's a good platformer, but not Sonic), took more time and effort toward it, and made sure it was a single game project at a time.
