Back to the classics with Sonic?

i think SEGA knows wat they're doing now. after playing ssasr and sonic unleashed, i think sonic's downward spiral is coming to an end

exactly what i was thinking..............do you just tell me what i want to hear or is actually your opinion?

my opinion! thats just how much we're alike

lol!! suuuuuuuuuure!

What I don't understand is why everyone hates the new Sonic games. I know S&TBK wasn't that great but Unleashed was freaking awesome! SEGA is trying their hardest, but people are harder to please now a days. Sorry people of America but this is 2010 not freaking the '90's where there was hardly any tech making these GREAT games.

The people who have been rating "poor" on all the recent games can go die.

But I do agree SEGA could've atleast put more than enough work in to Shadow the hedgehog and Sonic '06.

Hopefully Sonic 4 will bring peoples hopes up.

Exactly! The people who have been saying that all these Sonic games are bad are just sucking up to nintendo or something. This is proven by the fact that some people are already complaining about Sonic 4! People have written essays on why Sonic 4 is going to suck based on 3 seconds of gameplay from the trailer and sonic's outlook!
People say: "Aw, they lied to us again! This game isn't 2D! Its 2.5D!"
And: "How can you return to the classics with that ugly new sonic?! If I dont see my old pal with the 'chubby' body, black eyes, and shorter quils, this game is dead to me!"
And all together they sound like this: "This game is just going to be another crap sonic game."

I cant believe it.

But fans all across the world have already started to make fun of the haters, realizing how idiotic they actually are. Its good that these *******s are finally getting what they diserve. And when everyone realizes that these idiots are, and have always have been, suck-ups, Sonic will rise again.

But I also agree that there are some games that SEGA could have worked harder on.
Though I never blame them for Sonic 2006. As for that, I blame the very father of Sonic, Yuji Naka. Who betrayed SEGA and the Sonic Team by leaving the company he had worked for for 20 years that very same year Sonic 2006 was being made. Along with taking 10 employees of the original Sonic Team with him to start his own company, Prope. I feel a great hatered to Naka for doing that.

And they couldve done better on Shadowthe hedgehog as well.

Yuji Naka left?! And he took 10 employees?! What the hell is wrong with him?! Wasn't the creator of Sonic in the first place?

Yep. He was the very game designer who made the first Sonic The Hedgehog, that was the first game to ever beat Nintendo's market share. He made gaming history with Sonic and was famous across the globe. He called Sonic his "beloved son", and still, he left Sonic in 06. And whats even worse is that he said that he wanted "Sonic to continue for another 50 to 100 years", and he left the very month before Sonic's 15th birthday. Way to help out SEGA and say Happy Birthday to your 'beloved son', as I always say.
With him, he took 10 members of the original Sonic Team to form his own company: Prope.
Another traitor is Naoto Oshima, who designed the very first drawing of Sonic. But he left in the '90's. Though he is not as much of a traitor as Naka.

Grrrr...... This makes me so freaking mad!!! I wish i could go back in time to stop Yuji from leaving so Sonic could be around for the next generation!!!

yeah, it really is a shame

I dont get why people like the classic sonic design so much.

neither do I. Though I do like the classic sonic design, I think that the new one is way better.

dude, i tested it out once. I played classic sonic games most of the day and didnt allow myself to look at the new sonic. then finally at the end of the day, I looked at the sonic 4 version of sonic, and it was so much better it was unbelievable!

exactly!
