That FAILS. SatSR was good, and I liked the gimmick. But I don't want ANOTHER one; that gimmick just feels like a one-time thing. You mean, even after this Sonic Unleashed is out, they'll still make another SatSR-style game? Just no. Just no.
Sega already has proven what works. Now the developers need to apply it. Otherwise they'll keep committing Sega Syndrome.
SatSR
is what works... Its had the highest ratings since SA-SA2 and is mostly accepted by people who are willing to try a new type of gameplay. No camera problems, we really aren't missing out on anything we had from Sonic Heroes or perhaps before (haven't played SA2).
I seem to recall a "disappear to be changed" article concerning Sonic. It is highly possible that they are considering making this Sonic's core play style. I've played what could be a pretty good example of a one-shot gimmick (Knuckles Chaotix, Super Mario Galaxy) and this isn't one of them... I wouldn't even call it a gimmick.
