The Next Sonic Game Could Be Called Runners

With Sonic Boom not quite on shelves, it might be a little early to talk about where the franchise is going next. Even so, a possible SEGA leaker may have just shone a light on where the road may take the Blue Blur.

Please let it be a traditional Sonic game on consoles with at least Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow playable with Sonic

-Foxtrot3489d ago

Your asking for too much....remember this is SEGA :)

Don't see how its so hard to create a good Sonic game...I mean the new one looks awful, just been made to go alongside the crappy cartoon.

They should base a game around the UK Sonic comics

Abash3489d ago

As off-putting as Sonic Boom is to me, it gives me hope that main Sonic games will have the most popular friend characters playable again. Thats something the developers got right, I mean Tails and Knuckles with their abilities alone can add so much more substance to standard Sonic gameplay

Klonoa-dreamtraveler3489d ago

everything has to be based off uk from you.

-Foxtrot3489d ago

@Klonoa-dreamtraveler

Why not? The US is so over done these days.

Klonoa-dreamtraveler3489d ago (Edited 3489d ago )

its just on every franchise so far i see you mention uk and its like there isn't a reason why for the franchise other than making uk relevant for just cause. i do agree sonic formula has to be fixed big time and is far off from what it was of its former self i just dont see how it being done or it being heavily involved uk is gonna help it.

edit: well i welcome any person or team from any region to do a sonic game to be done right or atleast towards the right direction i just felt by your comment history everything has to be uk relevant versus as a whole the right thing being relevant but im not against it being done or tried by a different region or team. its just it felt you were being region bias and thats how it came off to me. im not trying to be bogus or anything.

@Klonoa-dreamtraveler

You havent read the UK Sonic comics have you? They are very different to the US series.

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki...

It has a cool origin story for Sonic

http://img3.wikia.nocookie....

It showed you how he became Sonic we know thanks to Doctor Ovi Kintobor

http://img3.wikia.nocookie....

After this though things went wrong and Doctor Ovi Kintobor turned into Ivo Robotnik

Plus you had the Freedom fighters aswell

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki...

Which would be a cool, character switching concept.

Even characters like Amy were better written. Instead of Amy being the typical damsel in distress she ended up holding her own and stopped acting like a bimbo

I agree, and put the designs back to normal as well, these ones are very ugly.

lemoncake3489d ago

I would also prefer them to just give us what we all want instead of overthinking it and trying to do something different.

DrRobotnik3489d ago

When Yuji Naka cashed out...so did we.

ChickeyCantor3489d ago

" and Shadow"

It's like you want all of it to go away but leave the gate open for everyone to return.

IMHO, Sonic fits better as a mobile game than a console game. What's the mobile genre called? "Runner" or something? Where all you have to do is tap the screen to jump? That seems like just about the only place for Sonic to go and still be even remotely relevant.

ZombieKiller3489d ago (Edited 3489d ago )

As longs as it's not Sonic: The Runs.

Then again if it turns out to be a crappy game....

DrRobotnik3489d ago (Edited 3489d ago )

Sonic had the runs? Needs to lay off those chilly dogs.

Illusive_Man3489d ago

It needs to be called Sonic Generations 2....but I'll take a Colors 2.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3489d ago

Sonic Colors 2 is practically Lost World

DivineHand1253489d ago

I thought Sonic Generations was a really good game and I still play it from time to time. Why can't they just make more games like that.

DrRobotnik3489d ago

Because Sega hates to continue good games. Remember Nights 2, Shemue 3, comic zone 2, sonic CD 2?.....yep.

Top 10 Worst Sonic Games

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I’m a huge fan of the series and love to talk about its best games… but its hard to argue that it’s all been great for the blue blur. From games that were loaded with glitches, slow-paced gameplay, and visuals that look more like a blue blur of… pixels and polygons. So, take this as a warning to avoid these 10 worst Sonic games of all time."

Never played any of these on this list, surprised Sonic R isn't there, but then i played that on my first PC and didn't think it was that bad, got some mild enjoyment out of it at least.

-Hermit-997d ago

Lost World, Black Knight, Forces and Chronicles should not be on that list, I can easily think of worse.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Eraser, Sonic R, these are all way worse than the games on this list. Knuckles Chaotix was terrible as well, I hated the way you had to control the players, it was a pain in the ass. Even games like Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball and Rivals 1 and 2 which I thought were decent were worse than some of the games on this list.

To be brutally honest, most of the Game Gear and Master System Sonic games are pretty awful too. Sonic Chaos on the Game Gear for example, you can't even see what you are doing because the field of view is so bad.

I would rather play Sonic 06 than any of the games I listed above, and that game is classed as the worst Sonic game of the lot.

People have nostalgia glasses on when they think about old 2D Sonic games. Outside of the mainline games on the Mega Drive, most of them were worse than the modern day 3D games.

Rebel_Scum997d ago

Sonic 1 & 2 on the MS2 and GG were great games. Perfect blend of speed, secrets and challenge.

Sonic Chaos was shite. Too easy and gross looking sprites and backgrounds.

imo 1-10 for worst Sonic games would just be all the 3D one's and Sonic Fighters.

lellkay997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

There is definitely some worse games than Lost World,

The guy who wrote this definitely didn't dig enough into the franchise history haha

Pyrofire95997d ago

General question.
Is your favorite Sonic game the first one you played?
If not, is you favorite the same style as your first? (3D, 2D, some other distinction?)

lellkay997d ago

My favorite game is not the first one I played. (First one I played was Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis)

My favorite one is probably 3&K or Mania, so yes it is in the same style as the first game I played.

-Hermit-996d ago

My favourite Sonic game is not the first one I played or same style.

The first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive, my favourite is Sonic Adventure 2.

DFresh996d ago

I disagree with Sonic Forces on that list but the others are correct.
Sonic Forces is hella under rated.

Article says it's about third party Wii U games, yet Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival & Pokemon Rumble U are on this list.

lptmg2450d ago

maybe they were made by third parties? I dunno much about those games

PhoenixUp2450d ago

Doesn't matter who they were made by, they're still first party titles

lptmg2450d ago

one of the worst Wii U games I've ever played was Deus Ex. It's not by any means a terrible game, but the Wii U port was a massive disappointment with a weird control scheme and an abysmal framerate of like 20fps at best.

derkasan2450d ago

It's crazy how hard Devil's Third tanked. Don't think Itagaki's going to really recover from that one.
