Yea Forums is now in charge of Sonic Team and must take action with the following rules in mind:
>you can't just end the franchise
>you can't hire Whitehead to make the game for you
>you can't do any sort of rehash of previous games. It must be a fresh idea
>you can't reboot the series or remove characters from its canon
Do your best
just make sonic adventure three and have it not be shit
out of curiosity do people still like chao garden?
I don't know anything about making games. I'll just say make me a 3d sonic game. preferably at least good as forces but better would be even more preferable.
then I'll give the team thumbs up and shout positive things like "you can do it gambatte!"
>just make sonic adventure three
Well you didn't disallow embezzlement, so that's what I'm doing
that doesnt count and you know it you cock licker son of a bitch
I’d just leave it the way it’s going and do nothing, it’s bound to crash and burn eventually
You know what must be done
Define rehash. If you have several playable characters people would complain that it's a rehash of the adventure games, but if you have just Sonic it would be the same boring shit we've gotten for the past decade.
I make a good Sonic Boom game by also hiring the writers of the show.
We dont talk about this one.
>can't hire whitehead to make the game
Then I'll just hire him as a consultant
Sonic X-Com, where you fight Eggman and his robots
>hand the writing over to Ian Flynn
>bring back upgrades and shields
>include a thriving overworld
>add combo moves to the homing dash
>no talking during levels
>zones are multi-path but remain linear
>you can't do any sort of rehash of previous games. It must be a fresh idea
Fuck you, I want Adventure 3 with the old engine from 2.
Drop the "gotta' go fast" meme. It's RUINED the series. Going fast doesn't work with good platform design, never has and never will. Make a half-decent action-adventure game like the Jak series (specifically Daxter on PSP). These characters have good and unique abilities that any 3D action adventure game could work. Beyond Good and Evil? Psychonauts? Ratchet and Clank? Sly Cooper? Take inspiration from these and see what could work with Sonic and Co.
I made an autistic concept for what I think Sonic Adventure 3 should be.
>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, with Utopia as a basis for how fast and smoothly shit should go. 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. (For Tails, they're upgrade parts for his jet)
Fund a time machine to bring back mid 90s sega
>hand the writing over to Ian Flynn
He can't reign in his writing autism enough to work on a game. He needs lots of time to tell a story and comics are the only format where he even has a hope of achieving that. And even THEN he has problems.
If you got Flynn to write a Sonic game it'd just be a slightly less cringe inducing Pontac and Graff. Sonic has bigger issues to deal with than its writing right now.
The rest of your post is fine, but the overworld thing is another concept that could be revisited once the more basic issues with 3D Sonic get ironed out. Any time spent on not fixing them is a waste and will only dilute the final product at this point.
>Going fast doesn't work with good platform design
I think you mean going fast CONSTANTLY doesn't work with good platform design. Which is what the boost formula demands of the player most of the time.
If not, then it sounds like you just want another Sonic Boom game that doesn't play to the series' strengths and is just a generic action game with Sonic and friends in it.
that's what sonic boom was. it was abhorrent.
Make a game similar to Sonic Adventure/SA2 but with way more polish, the biggest flaw that jumped out at me from those games is that they felt rushed out
Were Chao only liked because of the virtual pet craze of the mid 90's to early 2000's?
>>you can't do any sort of rehash of previous games. It must be a fresh idea
Fuck off then
You don't need constant gimmicks in every fucking game
Just make Sonic Unleashed 2 but get rid of the werehog.
>and have it not be shit
Because it was lazy and rushed. Just because one bad game in the genre exists, doesn't mean it cannot be improved upon like the examples I listed prior. Sonic is a tragedy in not knowing what to do with a series and constantly failing to adhere to an identity.
he did a real good job with Sonic Mega Drive and you don't need much more than that for a game, Sonic doesn't need world ending villains keep it small and local, he can pull that off well.
Make Sonic more vulnerable.
aww man
Holy fucking shit i forgot the fucking picture fuck.
I WANT TO SEE YOU STANDING THERE
>not a rehash
You got it boss. Make a yaoi visual novel where Sonic and Shadow develop a loving relationship. This will introduce a love drama that will be canon for the future games. I fixed the series!
Sonic X Nights? Sonic for daytime stages and Nights for night stages? At least the speed would be consistent unlike Unleashed
rehash of adventure 2
Would you play Modern Sonic if the goal was to change Tail's diaper as quickly as possible?
Just got to wait for the dimensional merge for it to be a reality
>contact chris chan for being the director
>have him do it for free
>he's doing it under an alias
A Sonic game where you play as Amy. It's also virtual reality, so you can actually go inside the game. Also, Amy has human-level AI, and there's a two-player mode so both you and Amy can play together.
Also, this is the theme song for the game:

>port whitehead ports to steam w/mod support
>3k remaster, colors and unleashed pc ports
>fix that dog shit sadx port ASAP
>greenlight 2d classic sonic game with all original stages
>greenlight sonic adventure style game
>ditch all of sonics gay friends except for the classic trio and maybe shadow
And uhh... something about phantasy star or whatever? Who gives a shit? We’re making money here.
>he doesn't have a going into games machine
Fuck it, make a fighting game
Sonic the Fighters 2: Tag Team Baybee
This
Sonic and the cast turns into a human due to cross dimensional universe travel. It's going to be part visual novel (in the real world), part platformer. The two worlds intersect and you must stop Dr Eggman from combining the two worlds so he can meet his grandfather and granddaughter again.
I'd unironically love another fighting game. Sonic the Fighters is simple but still kinda fun and Sonic Battle was great aside from those few shitty story missions fuck Gamma
A game that has no amy in it, shipping ruins fanbases.
>Playables are Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, secret playables are Eggman, Motobug and Metal Sonic.
>Bosses are different
>Zones are original
>Good story like actually Eggman was behind all of this.
>Collecting the Chaos Emeralds are optional like in Sonic 2.
>Actually new fun moves like Sonic got dropdash, example of this is Tails's astroboys jet style of accerating and Knuckles's street fighter punches.
>make a new NIGHTS game
>a new Chu Chu Rocket
>and a new Ristar
I can't end sonic but I can replace him with other Sonic Team creations.
First of all, it will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive marketed as the ultimate Sonic game, the pinnacle of the franchise. The only gameplay shown in trailers will be from the first 10 minutes of the game. To activate the game after installing, the player must give their phone number to enter a code from a text or call, the purpose of this being so their phone number along with other collected data can be sold for the studio's profit.
When the player starts the game, it's a 3D side-scrolling game that takes all the praised aspects of the side-scrolling Sonic games and puts them into a single game, and refined by the best game designers in the studio.
When the player beats the first level, Green Hill Zone, there is a cutscene afterwards where after saving the animals, Sonic and Tails decide to use the Chaos Emeralds they've gathered to transition into females, and they start a lesbian relationship to Dr. Eggman's displeasure. From this point forwards, the use of the game's budget is minimized as much as possible. Models, levels, animations, and gameplay will not be quality checked what-so-ever.
Eggman's robot army is ordered to destroy Sonic and Tails for transitioning, and the game goes from a 3D side-scroller to an action game with core gameplay directly lifted (hurriedly) from Devil May Cry 2. Each level is a small arena where the robot enemies rise out of the ground (with no special effects) and use a single attack (that does a lot of damage) on the player over and over, the levels only differing in their low resolution textures and skyboxes, not in shape or design. This continues for the rest of the game with cutscenes that are voice acted by children off the street for cheap after each level, whenever the player gets to a dangerously low amount of health, the game pauses and the player can choose to pay 1$ to refill their health.
There are also a wide variety of cosmetic items that can be bought with real life money to dress up your Sonic, 5$ each.

Fuck all of you.
sorry broskee... a good physics engine would be too much work. we’re gonna just outsource the games to dimps, k?

SEGA...
Looks cool but please tell me those texture edits of the chao garden better not be in the mod
All of it is optional I would think?
a 2d sonic game entirely comprised of pinball levels like casino night and carnival night would be great
Sonic Boom only ended like that because SEGA didn't tell BRB that their game won't be on the WiiU until after development already started, and they had a deadline on top of that.
is correct. You have all sorts of textures (kindergarten, lobby, gardens, the Chao themselves, fruits, etc.), but they're all optional via mods and/or codes on SA2ModManager.
Amy the Hedgehog. You play as Amy Rose and go around Mobius hitting things with your hammer on an adventure to save Sonic and Tails, who, by a quirk of fate, have been captured by Robotnik.
Everything that was mentioned in editions 1983-2000something of /sthg/ when /hlg/ was around

Unleashed was meant to be Sonic Adventure 3. It never became that, sadly due to obvious reasons.
Is there a download for that Chao Garden remix?

Anything I missed?
>ditch all of sonics gay friends except for the classic trio and maybe shadow
please kill yourself. there's nothing wrong with sonic's cast, besides the fact that sonic team doesn't know what the fuck to do with them.
There’s a rom hack of that called Sonic VR or something like that.
>Mobius
fuck all of you mobius faggots
any canon that involves "mobius" is SHIT.
Sonic Team doesn't exist since 2009 ya dimgus

>Ian Flynn
I agree with everything except that. Dude is too obsessed with world building to tell a good story unless he is mandated not to.
Give the writing duties to Hesse.
that's also fine
Man I love Classic era Sonic but a lot of these Game Gear games are shit
I guess Sonic has actually always been bad.
That might be true but they had some fine tunes

Hire the guys from Dimps who were involved with the advance/rush series
Keep 2D mechanics from the boost gameplay such as wall jumping and aerial stomp.
Restrict 3D gameplay to Special Stages
Uekawa is in charge of promotional artwork.
Sonic's friends are playable with similar speed but come with their own unique abilities
Remove the Classic/Modern split clause
Minimal to no voice acting, Zone - transitional cuteness will tell the story itself.
Hire the level designers of Mania
Anyone with a half wit would know who should compose most of the music.
