Next sonic game to be titled Sonic Endeavor. Followed by Sonic Exciting Circumstance

Shitty boss battles. Aside from maybe Perfect Chaos in Generations, the bosses in Sonic games have been terrible for a long time.
The last good Dimps game was Rush. Rush Adventure's sailing segments are terrible and everything since feels phoned in.

Man if only we got another Sonic game with multiple characters, minigames, and set in a human open world with a story incongruous to the art.
I bet if they made another one of those it could not at all be a trainwreck

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are good, amy is not if anything like before. She should stick to being a cut scene character like in SA2.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Adventure is the true Sonic game.

The friends were never the problem; it was the shitty gimmicks that they brought to the table. If this rumor is true, then they're handling it Advance style, which is great.

You guys got your Sonic Adventure 3 in Sonic 2006.
It didn't need the word Adventure to be the same kind of game and the name Adventure would not have made it any less bad.
Move on.

And they seem to finally be going back to the "variation on Sonic" route instead of hunting/fishing/shooting/whatever.

Sonic Team makes quality games now. Good.
They can now handle multiple playable characters. Great.
The plot sounds fun, down to earth, and very in character for the Sonic world. Fantastic.
Will play like Generations. Fuck.
I think I'm in the minority, admittedly, but I'm really sick of the boost track-racer style of gameplay. I'd love for a more free-roaming approach again, with the goal of earning your momentum vs hitting a button and instantly moving at lightspeed. Oh well, the positives here far outweigh this negative. I'm literally drooling at what the Sonic art team is going to pull off with next gen hardware. Colors/Generations/Unleashed were some of the most appealing, beautiful games on their respective consoles. I am so in.

That's how it starts.
First they make them playable
Then they make Chaotix playable
Then they make Silver and Shadow playable
then they make Blonic playable

I disliked Sly a lot more when the friends went from sideshow to main event.

I was just going to post something like that. The friends themselves weren't the issue; their gameplay mechanics just didn't work.
Advance at least handled that adequately and didn't add a ton of oddly-designed and paced bloat to the core game like the Adventure games / Heroes did. If this game takes after that, I don't think I'd mind as much. Play like Sonic + one or two things that differentiate them from him... just like Tails and Knuckles. I'd just want Sonic front and centre as opposed to the friends taking the spotlight more often than he did a la Adventure/Heroes/06.
man the sonic levels in 06 were awesome and long like 13 minutes each

Uh, I've seen Sly 2 and 3 (rightfully) get grief for the extra playable characters present in those games, too.

look man, it'll worth it in the end once they bring back Mighty and Ray
main story
sonic tails knuckles amy eggman
side story
shadow rouge blaze silver cream
cameos
vanilla emerl espio vector charmy
no sign of omega tho
Getting a Generations quality title that has the friends as playable in it is going to be really fucking weird, for some reason.
And it shouldn't be, given that the friends have been playable since 2.

Cuz Playstation Vita sounded awesome the first time you heard it too. Or Wii.

The new character will be an evil presence from before time, reawakened by Eggman with the power of the Chaos Emeralds.
Look SEGA just give me some cutscenes that look like this

Why can people not differentiate between an incompetent team and a style of gameplay. If you gave blueprint of Uncharted to the Sonic Team of 2001/06 it would have turned out like dogshit because the devteam was composed of dogshit. But does that invalidate Uncharted's style of gameplay? No. ST cleaned house after 06 with completely new people. The execution is the issue here, not the gameplay style.

I don't mind if ammy is playble, just make her use her hammer on certain things only she and say knuckles could break into and let her use it to high jump up to stuff.
Keep the gameplay as close to sonic's gameplay as possible.
There is nothing wrong with sonic's "shitty" friends being characters as long as they don't go the shitty adventure route and follow the Sonic 3 route

Poor Mighty, of all the various friends seen over the years this guy going into a ball makes far more sense than the rest, so he's the guy who gets dropped.
Didn't you see the cycle? you've got to wait a bit, get those hopes raised and then they unveil the new character for maximum impact.

Omega wasn't present in Generations, either (outside of being a statue). Is Sega ditching him? =(
I don't know why but the fact Shattered Heights retreads Speed Highway so much is the sort of dumb thing I expect SonicTeam to do. (Presuming that this poster is true) Still sounds pretty interesting and exciting - the fact there are humans in the stage itself is a cool touch if true.

Yeah but he can't fish or use psychic powers so he had to go.

Which part(s) of the levels' designs did you like?
If they manage to execute the various types of gameplay for different characters well enough and cohesively enough so that the characters aren't taking more precedence from Sonic, and they don't feel like a chore for the player, then I'll be content. However, I'm still feeling a little iffy about that.Miizy F Baby said:

My man! We need Mighty, he was the original "shitty as fuck" pallet swap!
Fixed. Shadow is all I need.
Sonic Rush Adventure wasn't that bad, I still enjoyed it, though not as much as Sonic Rush.
Sonic Colors (DS) though.... UGH.

Sonic Rush was so good. Dat music.
I play Shadow nearly exclusively on Generations PC.
Voice files and everything, just as good as the real thing IMO.

Maybe it was for the best then, otherwise we might be remembering Mighty for his frogger inspired gameplay twist or more likely something even more nonsensical.

Hmm, it has been a while since I played Colors DS. I don't remember hating it. What was consensus for that one?
Anyways, I kind of hope this is more similar to Colors where they mixed in 2D and 3D. I enjoyed Generations a lot but didn't like the segregation of the levels so much.

these levels would go on for like 13 minutes i love them there were like endless
I've been craving some new Sonic since PC Generations and this is all sounding wonderful. Hope they get down the content to presentation ratio like they did with Colors here though. Generations was a spectacle, but Colors had more levels and fun things going on in stages.
Oh yeah, good job on only using the OG 4 for multiple character stuff.
