Why does this not surprise me? I refer to Max and to the OP. Sonic is a dead horse that is actually so dead that he's being used as the new final boss in the next House of the Dead game, forgoing the Tarot theme, because the dead horse is much scarier. The fear of Sonic's present incarnation is what you get when you multiply F.E.A.R. with Silent Hill, add a hefty dose of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and take this value to the power of the number of nines in that "Interesting Fact" thread from last month. Which means a hell of a lot. Why, Sonic Team, Why? |

We just need a way to flip the world upside down. The world is a flat surface, isn't it? ISN'T IT? I dare you to challenge my logic that the world is flat! |

No no no no no NO!!! There was nothing you guys could have done to even make the Werehog even moderately enjoyable! (okay, hyperbole, but they really sucked) Pretty much nobody liked them! Nobody cared about them, nobody wanted them! Why do you insist on continuing something that nobody wants? Stop trying to reinventing the god damn sub-sonic-wheel, stop with your stupid "innovations"/"gimmicks", stop with your new "ideas" and "It seemed like a good idea at the time" crap, stop with making Sonic something he's not, stop with not listening to the actual reviews, stop and think for a second about what sonic was, stop and for Christ's sake just make Sonic run fast! The public have made it clear! We don't care about Sonic any more, the reviewers have spoken, the fans have spoken, the people who bought the damn game have spoken. Listen to your fucking customers SEGA! Jeez, I'm sorry, I'm just getting furious at SEGA right now, or specifically Sonic Team if you want to get technical. Just stop it. Stop it and let the hedgehog die... |
BANNED  Posts: 12958 Joined: 30 Jan 2008   | Sega now seem to work on balance. Year in year out they give us wonderful things that seem to have very minimal crap - Condemned, Valkyria Chronicles, House of the Dead Overkill, Lost on the Island of Spice, the Yakuza series, Madworld, The Conduit, Stormrise, Bayonetta (for what its trying to do it looks awesome - like that machine gun stripper in Planet Terror, both incredibly retarded and amazingly awesome). All of this filtered out crap needs to go somewehre, so it must all go into the Sonic games. If Sega stopped making crap Sonic games, they couldn't do such incredibly awesome other games.

Sometimes, yeah, I do. At least the Console part of Sonic Team doesn't. The Handheld part does, which is why the handheld games haven't started to fully suck yet. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1885 Joined: 17 Dec 2008   | This must be the point where a game character dies. When the company abandons their older audience; people that only want a good, fun game featuring this character; in favor of a younger, more easily entertained audience. At least now we know we know the truth. |

That's because they can't mess up a handheld sonic game. ...can they? |

Name me one not awesome part in Valkyria Chronicles. Or maybe you disliked the part in Lost on the Island of SPice when you were killing mutant frogs with paddles...in a rail shooter. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

Sonic, what's wrong? Stop playing games, you have to answer me! SOnic? Soonic? (sidenote: I thought that developers grew out of this "disregarding the consumer plebs" when the internet hit... oh well) |

I think he was more confused by your logic. Sure you're making a joke, but I don't think that the crap actually needs to be made into anything. Bad Sonic Games =/= Good SEGA Games. |

No, there was a time when there were both great Sega games and great Sonic games, but sadly, those days seem long gone. But my point is even if Sonic has now become an annual dissapointment, Sega are still making awesome games. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?.

I was actually referring to your statement about Sonic being the toilet franchise. Wherein if Sonic didn't suck everything else would. User was banned for: The hypocrisy is KILLING me.. (Permanent) |

Sonic Unleashed's Werehog Will Return
The universally hated Werehog from Sonic Unleashed will live to see another day and cause more weeping and gnashing of teeth among what fans of Sega's mascot remain.
Here's my advice to the old-school Sonic fans who continually cry foul when Sega inevitably besmirches their beloved franchise time and time again, despite all glimmers of hope: It's time to move on. The time has passed when Sega made Sonic games for you, they've moved on and it's time for you to do the same. Don't believe me? Sega themselves have admitted to it. Old fans aren't the core audience of the series.
"You have the animated Sonic series that is intended for younger kids, and I personally like to look at those kids as our most important audience," Sonic director Tetsu Katano said in an interview. "That said, we're trying to make games which appeal to all generations."
Some members of the older of those generations didn't find much appeal in the Werehog sections of the recent Sonic Unleashed, during which Sonic transforms into feral creature with Stretch Armstrong powers who likes to smash stuff. Katano will readily accept that people don't like the Werehog, but isn't quite ready to give them what they want.
"In principle, I think that the users are always right. They're the ones paying the money and playing the games," he said. So if the users are always right, why not ditch the damn Werehog? "I don't think that producing the Werehog was a mistake per se, but there were a lot of things we could have done better if we had more time and resources."
Seems Katano sees untapped potential in the Werehog, so much that he guarantees that we'll see the thing again. "If I think of any ideas [for improving the Werehog] then Sonic Unleashed 2 will be the time for that," he explained. "But you will see the Werehog again."
Hopefully by "improvements" he doesn't mean the ditched "yeti Werehog" concepts from the first Sonic Unleashed.
