The Mania team showed us how, Sega are just not following through.

give me sonic adventure 1 and 2 on switch with tiny chao garden included

Disband Sonic Team and license the IP to other studios or outsource development. Also greenlight Mania 2, port 3&K to PC, and develop a Nintendo-HAL type relationship between SEGA and the Mania team to increase Sonic's profile while a good studio for the "AAA" Sonic is being searched for.

End the series forever because it's one of the most embarrassing IPs around.

Right, I'm going to actually reply to this thread and not post faggot shit like everyone else seems to be doing
>Spend a year perfecting a momentum-based control scheme for Sonic - sort of like that Marble game but better. There will be literally nothing else designed except a test stage at this point. Sonic must feel good to control.
>Rolling would be a good way of actually gaining speed - no boost, possibly a spindash. The parkour from Lost World will be brought back but actually implemented properly.

>The characters can retain their modern appearances, but Sonic doesn't do a naruto run. When at full speed his legs are a red blur.
>For the first outing Sonic will be the only playable character and the other main characters are Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman.

>Use the lighting engine from Unleashed and make levels that draw inspiration from real life locations but add in a bit of fantasy. Loops for example - which fit into the world properly and aren't some plonked on setpiece.

>Fire the current writers and get someone competent. Sonic stories shouldn't be complicated, but they shouldn't be kids-cartoon levels of humour either (Colours and Lost World were awful for this).
>I keep coming back to it, but Unleashed had a pretty simple story that worked well - it gave a good reason to visit all the locations, the plot was simple enough but allowed for humour every so often. Eggman actually felt like a threat. Just get rid of the god monster always fucking over Eggman at the last minute.

Why? It's shit.

Pretty hard to do when his junk has already been snipped off.

Disband.... this user gets it. Same problem with Pokemon. Somebody get the wrench and peel off Gamefreak from it.

These teams/studios need to learn to fucking let go. Seriously they're like parasites. They know nothing but to leech.

Reposting my autistic Sonic Adventure 3 concept

>Base it VERY LOOSELY around the Metarex arc of Sonic X
>Big space adventure with big, open ended hub planets
>Each planet has a planet egg that the bad guys want to steal
>Only Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow are playable
>Sonic stages are just like Adventure Sonic, except there's a bigger emphasis on momentum and fluidity. He even has his drop-dash instead of a ground pound.
>Tails stages are on his plane. Afterburner/Ace Combat style.
>Knuckles' stages are combat and exploration heavy. Treasure hunt, but mainly fight off small enemies until he has to fight a big boss.
>Shadow stages are a mix of Sonic and Knuckles. Speed platforming, but with more enemies to fight. He has a move-set that lends itself to both. He also serves as the window to Eggman/Rouge's crew and an additional perspective on the story.
>The planets, themselves, are big hub worlds that you travel to [Action stages] from. You have the option to travel from stage-to-stage, but this hubworld allows you to practice your abilities in a wide open space.
>You have to complete missions and side-quests to face the bosses (kind of like the Just Cause chaos system)
>The ship is also a mini-hub where you can interact with the team and form bonds/friendships (semi social-link ish) that unlock new abilities in the style of Sonic Advance 3's team moves.

I think it'd be cool.

WOAAAHHHH DUDE CHILI DOGS

Hire Whitehead and Team Evening Star
Hire the Freedom Planet Team
Hire the entire Unleashed A-Team Studio
Make it 4K 120fps graphics.

Make it Classic Sonic in full 3D entirely.
Make Advance 4 with amazing spritework and 10 different characters.
Make Adventure 3.
Make Heroes, '06, and Shadow Remastered
Make Sonic Battle 2.
Make Mania 2.
Get the Lost World guy to add functional parkour effects.
Make Sonic Generations 2 and Sonic Heroes 2.

Then once Sonic is saved again, leave the series for good.

Neat concept. Wasn’t sonic 06 or heroes basically supposed to be 3? I also really liked sliver the hedgehog. Sucks that he’s in a bad game.

That's right. I enjoyed their gameplay just as much as Mania.

I would remaster Sonic 06 as the game it should have been.

Wouldn't end well. Before Mania, when SEGA outsourced Sonic, we got Sonic Boom. Say what you will about Sonic Team, but they're significantly more competent than some random studio that doesn't give a crap about making a Sonic game at all. If SEGA had some kind of solid brand identity and actually looked into if x studio made sense, then even then I'd be wary. Name one studio that you could bet can make a good 3D Sonic game that feels Sonic off the top of your head. I can't.

>"AAA" Sonic
That depends. We talking Unleashed, or are we talking "give Sonic to Naughty Dog". AAA Sonic can also go horribly horribly wrong. It's a series that requires a butt ton of R&D, which isn't something many AAA publishers like.

Really SEGA should just get Sonic Team figured out more than anything. Cynical side of me is saying if you got Activision or Naughty Dog to make a Sonic game, the series goes straight into the toilet, while getting 10/10s.

VNs, oh lord would I make VNs!

IN MY ASSHOLE WHILE I WEAR CUTE DRESSES AND 8 inch heels fuck yah

Boom only sucked because they were making a next gen game but due to the contract with Nintendo at the time they were told to make it for the Wii u which had they scrap a bunch of shit and start over

Based sissy slut

The more or less confirmed Boom leak told us that the dev team not only didn't give a single crap, and not only were they in development hell, but very few people were even familiar with Sonic. This was the one where the guy dumped game dialogue before it was out to tell us that the characters spout memes in their dialogue, told us 06 got half the development time due to Shadow the Hedgehog, and stuff like that.

Keep in mind Sonic Boom was SoA's idea of a genuine reboot.

Drop Modern Sonic entirely, focus entirely on Classic Sonic. Sonic and 3D get along worse than Crips and Bloods. Stop trying to make it work. Offer the Mania guys full time jobs at Sega and give Sonic Team the boot too.

Split the series into 2D (Mania-like) and 3D.

Next 3D game should be an open world game, sort of like Mario Galaxy, except much larger platforming focused sections instead of planets, and instead of launch stars connecting them, speed sections connect them (whether the speed sections are like the boost games or not doesn't really matter).

Since Mania was a hypothetical 2D Sonic for the Saturn, logically the next 2D should be a hypothetical 2D Sonic for the Dreamcast. Better graphics, larger stages, a longer game, the whole 9 yards

Mania and Classic Sonic games are good, but I don't think it's good as a long term option. It'd need to be released very sparingly if it's to stay 2D.

did evening star even announce any upcoming projects

you can't just coast by in LA without getting any work

You're right, we should make the fans eat several buckets of shit between each ice cream sundae so they'll appreciate it more.

>Fire the American PR and writing team and actually hire people who actually like and care about Sonic. Fuck dem memes.
>Make Modern great again by going back to Adventure gameplay
>Story should be similar in tone to Secret Rings and Black Knight
>Classic gets another Mania style game but without nostalgia
There. Stay at this course and Sonic is fixed

>Fire the American PR
Hey, Aaron's cool. Not much you can do when content isn't announced. Also, much better than Valve's radio silence. I'd rather fringe fan base memes than nothing. At least they feel genuine since you can tell the guy handling the PR is a fan, much less "hello fellow kids" kind of deal. They also do occasional events and what not to keep things sort of lively. What I don't understand is how they didn't get Sonic Channel (their 2D art team not the Youtuber) to do a series of comics.

>writing team
It's two people.

Other than that, agreed. One of the few posts in this thread that didn't boil down to "2D > 3D".

>Aaron's cool
Nah. His Egoraptor kissing ass only gives Sonic an even worse reputation everytime he posts anything.

>sends popular animator and youtuber infamous for hating sonic a bunch of sonic themed cupcakes in bulk and forces him to eat it all
Nah, Aaron's cool.
I have no clue how this hurts the brand image. It's just a funny.

Oh yeah I'm sure these people don't hate Sonic anymore and aren't still making fun of him including Aaron. Very likely Sega made a lot of money thanks to Aaron. Who wants to built a solid brand anyway when Aaron can send cupcakes to people who actively hate Sonic for the memes.

Make the 3d games more like the classic ones with momentum, levels where I can explore with various paths, no homing attack, no boost, and a better power up line up like the elemental shields.
>b-but they tried and it couldn't work in 3d
Yeah 20 years ago but I think we have the tech now.

>Yeah 20 years ago but I think we have the tech now.
This doesn’t mean they have the talent though. Your tech means jackshit if the people developing the game are hacks.

>Oh yeah I'm sure these people don't hate Sonic anymore
That's not the point, though. It's just a funny. Which I mean PR wise is something, outside of the fact both fanbases can find a giggle. I don't think it's underhanded bribing or anything. Even after all of this Egorapter still takes a dump on the series (for good reason). We just want to see him get more cupcakes shoved through his mail.

Before Forces I would have said basically just make Generations 2 but they managed to fuck even that up. I don't even know anymore, I'm just hoping for Mania 2 at this point.

And I'm sure Aaron as the PR guy for Sonic wanted this exactly. For Sonic to be made further fun of without having a positive effect on the brand's sales and reputation. Building brand appeal means, appeal to people who hate your brand. Not your fans, right?

I don't think Sonic Team is incompetent. They just seem tired. They should try making a game that has nothing to do with Sonic or Knights. Something completely new to refresh their creativity.

I'd be happy enough if the western teams were at least allowed to continuously make games set in the Classic setting, since Sonic Team doesn't seem to want to acknowledge anything from the older games aside from Sonic himself. Not even just Mania rehashes, but games for the other characters. A grand scaled Tails Adventure sequel, or a Knuckles game that doesn't use the shitty tether system. Sonic Team can keep making their mediocre 3D boostshit, classicfags will be happy, everybody wins. Except maybe the Adventurefags, I guess.

>step aside Sonic Team, I'll show you how to do loop de loop without scripted segments
>requires guardrails or else you go flying out the side every time

>For Sonic to be made further fun of without having a positive effect on the brand's sales and reputation.
That's on the content SEGA releases. I will say they focus too much on the "hip and happening" social media kind of deal, which as I said before, I don't understand why they don't just get Sonic Channel to make weekly or monthly comics. Social media is a big part of marketing these days, and I think while they get that, they aren't doing all they could.

I don't see how doing a funny with egorapter every once in a while is a bad thing at all. It's not the social media team's job to salvage the franchise. It's their job to keep people's attention on the series that's borderline dead for upcoming releases, and well, public relations.
