Im still waiting for a sequel to Sonic Heroes Sega. That was one of the best Sonic games ever made.

LimeyOtoko4811d ago

I'd probably agree if it controlled a bit better and the lifebars were removed !

I didn't like 'Mash A 1-billion times to kill a single enemy', and the flying types in general left a lot to be desired - I mention something like this in the article though

darthv724811d ago

the graphics are nice but it controls like crap.

Why sega? The controls for the original genesis were fine. Bring those controls back with the updated graphics and people might give sonic another chance (how many has it been now?)

Redempteur4811d ago

sonic heroes ? that was ok , but nothing ground breaking ..

llMurcielagoll4809d ago

I personally liked Sonic Heroes. If there will be a Sonic Heroes 2 for example, Id love to see some major improvements around it.

Sonic is already dead. The best games are on older platforms. They try to innovate, but then it only gets worse.

ghostwriter4811d ago

I still have hope that they could revive the franchise. The article has some good points on it.

AWBrawler4810d ago

must not own a Wii, because Colors was great! Sonic is back as far as I'm concerned

Colors shows that sonic is back where he needs to be

Lamarthedancer4811d ago

Well how about a hardcore Sonic game, they said they had to now aim towards the casual and hardcore Sonic audience. Sonic Colours was for the casual and Sonic 4 was supposed to be for the hardcore, maybe you should make a full retail hardcore Sonic game this time Sega, instead of making a game which is only one episode, not retail and where people can compare it to fan made Sonic 2D games and say their better then yours.

Even if it's Sonic Battle 3 I would be Happy

aaronobst4811d ago

Fading away into obscurity if we're lucky

LimeyOtoko4811d ago

I disagree, a solid foundation is there they just have to get the formula right again.

NYC_Gamer4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

after years of bad games i have lost all hope for the blue guy.

pcz4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

sega should bury him and move on.

i knew sonic episode 1 would turn out to be shit and i was correct. sega just want to try and cash in on the oldskool 2d revival- ie new super mario bros (equally as shit.)

sonic colours was promising and to be fair was almost there. still doesnt have that level of quality i wanted. The corny cutscenes and lazy presentation ruined it. they should have put more effort into it.. the music was brilliant though.

unless sega are actually going to put some real time and effort into making a classic sonic game, they should just bury him, instead of further marring his name with these mediocre games.

LimeyOtoko4811d ago

You didn't like either of the New Super Mario Bros games?

..but.. they were great!

pcz4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

ergh i hate them. unbearable. i know graphics arent everything but i really hate the look of them, it looks like no effort went into them. there is no style or charm to the games.

*GIVE ME BUBBLES AND I WILL GIVE YOU THEM IN RETURN! JUST LET ME KNOW IN YOUR MESSAGE THAT YOU BUBBLED ME UP AND I WILL RETURN THE FAVOUR! :D

ThatArtGuy4810d ago

Asking for bubbles is the fastest way to lose them.

firefoxprime4810d ago

@ThatArtGuy

Wrong. Here's what will eat your bubbles

> Perfering Kinect over Move
> Liking the 360 over the PS3
> Posting your opinions, however concrete they may be
> Owning mutiple systems for the best of both worlds
> Dissing Uncharted :P

Not my personal views, but ya get the picture. Hehe.

pcz4810d ago

lol minus bubbles to thatartguy for that comment! lol

here is what gets your bubbles down

-saying anything remotely adverse to a ps3 owner in a ps3 related topic
-doing the same in a wii related topic
-doing the same in a 360 related topic
-crossing guys like thatartguy who are irrational and probably shouldnt even have the power to give or deduct bubbles because its too much power for them

n4g bubble system is flawed, asking for bubbles back is JUSTICE!

How can you trust people when you have shit like this going on

Honestly I think the game looks average first impressions wise and will probably die off within a year or so.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 3h ago

Jeez man we want games to grow and develop and if we're prevented from that this is how games dying amidst other complications.

Kaii1d 1h ago

Strike one: Netease
Strike two: Not allowing criticism

This means the game sucks. Now we can move on ahead of time and look forward to something else.

Sony needs to learn pc players are noting like console players. If they don't like something about the way you handle a game they will do everything to derail the game. Review bomb on steam, pirate the game what ever.

Sony should just stick to releasing single player pc games. Or don't allow crossplay so no need for PSN linking on pc. Or just stop releasing games on pc.

One of the most childish takes on this situation.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack1d 1h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville6h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack19h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya8h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

bunt-custardly42m ago

Don't worry there are some other games in development that might fill that void. Look up Vigilancer.

isarai16h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos7h ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos7h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

FinalFantasyFanatic2h ago

I really didn't like this game, tried it because of how loved the original Prey was, played the demo of this one and thought it was garbage, it didn't feel nice/fun to play.

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack19h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57948h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno7h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville6h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.
