Sonic to Reboot for 2012 and Beyond, Says SEGA

[Pixelsondrugs]

Now stfu

uh...wha?
Oh... So you reckon Sonic 06 was SA3. Come to think of it... there were some similarities. In that case, DAMN SEGA!WE WANTED THEM TO MAKE SA3 BUT THE SCREWED IT UP!

WE WANTED THEM TO MAKE SA3

Speak for yourself.

- Sonic Team and Sega are looking to better monetize Sonic
- potentially "massive" and "total" reboot
- Sega and Sonic Team are "committed" to the reboot
- speed, platforming, and surreal environments will remain
- Sonic and Dr. Eggman's rivalry will continue
- both characters may undergo a makeover
- everything else is up in the air and may see radical changes, including Tails
- may birth a new universe and characters
- new gameplay methods and gimmicks
- zones would be massively expanded and become their own world
- zones feature individual levels masked as missions
- idea likened to Burnout Paradise
- includes a brand-new engine
- photo-realism is of no concern
- may aggressively pursue a collection model as part of the reboot
- targeting the young audience that enjoys physical collectibles
- may require physical emblems and collectibles to unlock special features
- SEGA inspired by Skylanders' success
- physical toys and collectibles may have an interactive component with a new cartoon series
- may offer classic characters in-game as DLC

ALL OF MY WHY.

If... How could... Why would they...
This is frightening.

Hey, if it's a way to make money...even if it is a reboot that doesn't mean they won't still do the classics...right?

[SmashFinale]

Skylanders is a good game but uhh....
FUCK NO.
DO NOT WANT.

[Tanassy]

SEGA died.

This is SEGA. Not the SEGA from the dreamcast era; the SEGA that gave us Generations. And while Generations had fantastic gameplay, the writing and story was absolutely atrocious.

Sonic is now a douche, or extremely stupid, if you pick either one, it could be seen as accurate.
And now with threats of Sonic Team using skylanders as an example...

This was spyro then.


This is spyro now.


Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?
Not to mention that Spyro hasn't been good since the PS1.

If these rumors are true, we'll have to buy separate objects to get certain things in the game we've already paid for. It's essentially Capcom's DiscLockedContent method, only you have to leave your house and buy some stupid plastic toy in order to get said disc locked content.

If this is what happens to Sonic, then I'm afraid Sonic is a lost cause. It looked as if SEGA had all the right ingredients for a rebirth of the series, they just needed some new writers to make sonic and friends look less stupid, and Sonic could once again be considered "cool"

But I guess it was too good to be true. If these rumors are true, I'll probably just stop playing Sonic games..

[TheGameNinja]

Um, I was with them up until the Skylanders stuff. Nothing against Skylanders, I've heard great things about it, but I don't see why or how Sonic fits into that model.

[Hakudamashi]

Yup, f*ck this reboot, f*ck the new Sonic, I hope you go bankrupt

[Supersonic196]

"People actually like these Sonic games! So...let's do something completely different."

[Tanassy]

the writing and story was absolutely atrocious.

I still don't agree with this.

But everything else... eeeyeah... also, nice broken images you have there.

[Supersonic196]

also, nice broken images you have there.

Close some of your tabs running flash. Chrome has been acting up like this since last week.

"People actually like these Sonic games! So...let's do something completely different."

Actually the sales of SG show that not many people still like Sonic.

Maybe if they released that Sonic Adventure 3 the fans have been asking for, and if the didn't f*ck up Sonic 4...
