What do you think the next Sonic game should look like? We can all agree that STH on 360 was crap, so what now? A 2D game on the Live Arcade, with enhanced graphics\shading, more colours, scrolling layers and recorded music? 2.5D, with 3D environments and 2D gameplay? or should they perfect the current 3D style, and get rid of all the treasure-hunting crap, all the people and send Sonic back to Mobius? Personally, I'd kill for Sonic in 720p (1080i would blur!), with improved sprites (more frames of animation, better shading and palette) and the original tunes, but recorded by the godly Jun Senoue and spruced up a bit.
Personally I think it would be cool if Sega did with Sonic what Nintendo did with Mario in New Super Mario Bros.: combine 2D and 3D graphics in a 2D plane. A purely 2D HD sonic would be cool as well, though.
*Drool* I really love that style. the 2D mixed with a hint of 3D models.... h: I think it turns out nicely (if done correctly of course). I think it would work for sonic quite well.... Or just a kickass HD remake of Sonic The Hedgehog 2! :thumbsup:
If it means more franchise whoring the only thing left for SEGA to do is a DOAX with sonic female characters for all those furry freaks over at devianart and 4chan:lol: Anyway, I still believe they could make a good 3D sonic since the two first SA games were pretty good nonetheless. But as a character sonic is pretty much obsolete these days, not the badass anti-mario thing he was back in the day... If they can make it look as good as the SFII remake then I'm in.
Personally, I would love a 2.5D remake of the first 4 Sonic games (Sonic 1,2,3, Knuckles) on Xbox live. You would think with how many times they whored it out that they would at least make a remake....
id like to see them go back to some of the origional gameplay but scrap most everything else. it would be kind of cool to see sonic as an actual hedgehog...i guess sort of like how ecco the dolphin looks like an actual dolphin.
I'm with Tatsujin and GP..they should bury Sonic and let him RIP. Tbh his games have never been that great (imo of course) but post MD they've by and large been a shambles. I suppose some XBLA would be good..but even then I'd be happy with a non revamped Sonic 2.
They should do some sort of trilogy like HD remake of Sonic 1-3 (evt. include CD too, just for the heck of it), all games as ONE, with letting the skills/characters in the later games be unlocked as you progress and then evt. also let you... backtrack (or well, replay older levels atleast, with new skills, new changes/possibilities/characters and whatever) I wouldn't mind if it used a 2.5D graphical style (Klonoa on PSX and PS2 are still amongst my favorite games)
Haha - I was going to say "Out of the bin." as it seems he's already there. I would love love love to see HD 2D Handdrawn Sonic. It would be fan-fucking-tastic. Gameplay should stay relatively close to Sonic 2 also.
In the bin, I think Sonic has been too disapointing over the past few years. Or maybe they should restart making decent platform games? When is the last time we played a decent solid SEGA game? After Burner Black Falcon oh please............................at best it looks like an alpha...:banghead: Sabre
If they would drop the jackass storylines, half the charectars, and fix it up, I bet a good fast 3D Sonic could be very fun. They could add the quick button presses like in RE4 and stuff and make it like a mix of Crash Bandicoot, Mario and some of SA2, think it'd be cool.
