They keep getting funding from people like my good buddy. Every time they announce a new Sonic game, he gets super-hyped, then when it's released he goes out and beats it. While he's busy beating it he keeps telling me how awesome it is. But once he's done he takes a look back and says "wait a second, that SUCKED". But alas, he repeats this same thing over and over.
Me, I looked at the Sonic Unleashed trailers and immediately expected suckage. This game has the potential to be decent because they're moving away from the old ideas. I have no intention in buying it but I don't think it could be any worse than the last few games they've released lol
