Sonic Team needs to be laid off and Sonic should be given to a company that isn't trying to suck as much cash out of it as possible. AND to people that have actually played a game the past ten years.

He'll keep selling for the same reason anything sells, because it's popular.

And the series isn't that bad. The only one that seems universally loathed is 06. Yes, even Shadow has fans.
Shadow having fans was because he did an outstanding performance in SA2 by sacrificing himself and dying but Sega forgot one thing, they brought him back to life. Sonic has too many problems being based in the "real" world and too many shallow crappy characters that should either play a one bit role and leave or not exist at all.

Fans of Shadow(i.e. that generation who first played SA2) want to stick with him because they saw Shadow as the mascot on the edge and represented cool, not Sonic. To them Sonic was square, straight man.
I meant the Shadow game, but I agree with your point. Shadow was definitely a kickass character in SA2, and even a little bit in Heroes, when he declared that he didn't care whether he was the real one or not. So, of course, they completly botch it up in his game.

He's dead, yes... but if you run a current through him, his legs spin. Seems that's enough to keep releasing games.
i still agree hes already dead, and hes not being brought back. We dont need him anyway - we need that space for new, original and good releases, But nintendo cant let go of sonic and mario. Mario still has a little juice left, but you can tell hes dying with mario tennis, mario baseball, mario olympics... /sigh.

Zelda is only going to get better with 3d, however. I just still think nintendo need to let go of these old characters and try being a little more like microsoft/sony while still doing their own thing.

Sonic is the mascot and the most recognizable brand from SEGA. As long as there is a SEGA there will be a Sonic. Unless they release a game SO terrible they must change their image forever. Which honestly, might happen sooner than later.

Sonic's comeback is pretty simple, so simple Sega fails to grasp it.
Stop taking that hedgehog so fucking seriously.
Giving him powers and all that dark bullshit they started with the Adventure series is what ruined it for everyone except the hardcore fans.
Go back to a stupid kidnapping animals to build robots plot, and make the gameplay nothing but running levels.
And for once, just forget the fact so many new characters have been introduced. We only really want Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman/Robotnik anyway.
I mean really, Who actually liked Big the Cat?

Like Fart Jokes or The Simpsons, Sonic will never end because it makes money. Even if the newer games suck they sell like hotcakes.

As long as there are stupid little kids populating the Earth these new, terribly crappy Sonic games will continue to be churned out. Being a long time Sonic fan, it pains me to see one of my favorite gaming mascots degraded to such a degree. And the remedy to fix sonic is so simple, remove all the things they added to the sonic franchise after S&K, such as 3D,Amy, Shadow and the whole lot and return Sonic to his roots of 2D gaming, hell, they could do 3D on a 2D plane and it would be pretty good, and also turn down the speed a notch, seriously, I tried playing Sonic Unleashed and you need the reflexes of SS4 Goku hopped up on crack and caffeine to avoid things in that game.

i dont place bets knowing i will lose, that being said i dont actually BUY sonic games but sometimes the planets align and i see a good idea encased in a pile of shit that is a sonic game. i referr to Sonic Heroes. this was a good IDEA with a HORRIBLE aplication. after i tried and failed to like it i stopped holding out hope that sega would use their good ideas wisely or in a way that made the games passable.

that being said, i liked SA2 and only disliked the voiceacting, tails' dialog, and the lack of freeroaming... but hell i MUST be alone cause everyone else i find in the world hates it... except the guy who showed it to me.

anyway someone assassinate sonic team and take their ideas and turn them into the next psychonauts or something. cause sonic himself is deader than my goldfish.

Hmmmmmmmmmm... Maybe we could use his spinning legs as an alternate energy source?


I say hes dead, but I don't think the developers themselves believe it.
