So how will you react when it turns out to be an unexpected masterpiece?

It looks like they hired that man

It's not the world, it's the fact that they're still using the shitty outdated Sonic model they've been using since Unleashed once again. This tells me the game will be soulless on a visual and animation level, and with Flynn writing the game it's DOA because these factors combined demonstrate Sonic team being horrendously out of touch and just grasping at trends once again.

Look to Lost World (one of the worst games I've ever played) to see this game's future.

They really did.

It seems weirdly different this time around. Every other Sonic game was revealed on some Youtube channel, but this was announced at TGA. Every single solitary previous previous reveal had Sonic running with a cocky smile on his face straight into the battle. But in this Sonic is running because he's actually scared.

The fact that the twitter dude is literally babysitting Sonic Team and they actually hired the IDW guy has the sole writer because people wouldn't stop bitching convinces me they're not fucking around this time

Soul

Soulless

Its gonna be a weak 5/10 but sonic autists are gonna praise it endlessly and claim it's better then BOTW, Elden ring and RDR2

>and they actually hired the IDW guy has the sole writer because people wouldn't stop bitching convinces me they're not fucking around this time
The problem is the "IDW guy" has never written anyone in character, I don't get reddit's obsession with him

You mean ubisoft. Botw is just ubisoft zelda edition.

SEGA

It really isnt

It won't be so I won't have to

have you played ngs? it'll be fucking awful, even by sonic's low standards

>nsg
???????

Sonic Nigs?

Nigger Gape Stimulator?

I know it was bad but surely it wasn't that forgettable

Utter shock, were such a thing to happen.

I only like Phantasy Star 1-4

>low effort copy past open world
It's close enough.

The majority of sonic games are great though.

I just want Sonic's controls to be fluid and natural. Is that too much to ask?

Nah, Ubisoft already had a bad reputation, so people wouldn't try to copy it
BOTW, on the other hand, has been praised as the best adventure game ever made, thanks to its open world and stuff
obviously, by casual gamers who never played a decent open world before

They really arent user. No one except a tiny portion of Autists enjoy them

>Unleashed
>Soul
no

Make up some weird conspiracy only autistic schizos will understand, commission a couple of wojaks then pretend it's the worst game ever without playing it.

Name a better open world then BOTW user

Death Stranding

>That intro
>Sonic is actually animated well in cutscenes
>Rooftop Run
>Main theme
>Took risks with Werehog
It was infinitely more soul than dogshit like Colors

>First Sonic game with paid DLC
it's not allowed to be Soul faggot

No

LOL

Personally I think most people have convinced themselves that they just dont like 3d sonic games.
They only liked Mania because it was a glorified rom hack.

Half the 3d games aren't nearly as bad as they make it out to be.

It was actually good expansion content though that was worth the price tag

No 3d sonic games are just bad. Their usually either a buggy mess and not fun to play like ass

At the very least, the Adventure games were acclaimed across the board at the time of release and calling them bad is pure revisionist history starting with game journo hit pieces in 2010 where they shat on the SA games to elevate Colors for being more like a shitty Mario knockoff.

Lets predict the sales, I'm thinking 2 million

It'll fail to live up to expectations, ecelebs and journalists alike will push the "Sonic was never good" narrative yet again, and everyone gets another few rounds of shitting on the hedgehog while pretending his recent successes as a franchise never happened.

Its success as a franchise is largely an illusion user see , the most it's ever sold was 15 million and that's when it was a pack in title for the genesis. It's only successful as a franchise as been as a movie

There is a segment in the Sonic Frontiers trailer that looks almost exactly like the Aelio region. I fully believe the same people are working on it which spirals any hope I had into the drain.

>no casino night zone
>no chemical plant zone
>just a breath of the wild ripoff

They are

It'll hit 3 million, maybe 4, all because
>it's open world
>it's coming in the wake of the two movies

And yet nintendo did, along with being heavily inspired by skyrim.

>they are
Cope

I have no clue who thought that "open world Sonic" was a good fucking idea. All people want is a new Adventure game, is that really harder to make than this shit?

I think it's cause they're straight up afraid to try making one, because people will call it shit no matter what they do.
And their last attempt at an adventure style game came out to be pretty ass. I will die on this hill that 06 was a return to adventure style gameplay. The format and progression is literally the fucking same.

>the most it's ever sold was 15 million
Are you fucking crazy?? Not everything is goddamn Mario, Pokemon, or Call of Duty.
>15 million
That's more than any single Final Fantasy game, ever. That's more than something like Kirby or Mega Man could ever dream of.

>Cope
Nope, busy playing Advance 3

Not gonna happen. If it's even passable I'll be absolutely fucking shocked and shill it here for free.

>I don't get reddit's obsession with him
As far as I know, it's a mixture of him not being Penders as well as actually responding to fans and blaming every shitty thing he writes on mandates

Indifference, because unless Sega stops using Denuvo DRM I'm not buying any of their games anymore.

Yeah it did that as a pack in title user. Not as a separate game. It's like when people pull out Mario 1 or Duck hunts numbers. They dont count as ot was a pack in title

They're all bad? There's not a single 3D sonic (that's not Adventure) you even kind of liked?
Not even all the fan attempts at a 3D sonic even the ones that tried to do something different with it?

You're not wrong, 06 WAS an Adventure Game in every sense other than name and the absence of the Chao Garden.
Both it and Shadow fucked up everyone's perception of playable characters that aren't Sonic or identical to Sonic, and ever since we can't even so much as get a playable Tails outside of Classic Era anymore.

And it did so largely on its own merits. Sonic WAS the reason for buying the Genesis.

I guess I'll Kneel and apologize

>sonic heroes sold more than sonic adventure
fuck

>Took risks with Werehog
That wasn't a risk lol. That was just the same old genre roulette filler shit Sonic Team was already known for, expect they stupidly made Sonic into a werewolf because "it should be fine since it's still Sonic, right?"
They were literally trying to cater to the "we're tired of playing as Sonic's shitty friends" crowd, but never actually grasped why people complained about said friends in the first place despite the playable cast in the handheld games never receiving said criticisms. What a bunch of morons.

Huh, I just realized that the best part of 3d Sonic games is being able to play as literally anyone but Sonic.
I don't get why Sega is so intent on nerfing the roster and forcing you to play as Sonic.

It happens when you have a Dreamcast title going up against a multiplat that was on the best-selling console ever made and two others.
