​

Famistu, the well known Japanese gaming publication, sat down with Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka to discuss Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th anniversary. At the end of the interview, Famitsu asked what plans SEGA and Sonic Team have in terms of any future games. Their answer was the following quote;

We at Sonic Team – are developing a completely new game, as well as developing a full movie, actively done by Sony Pictures, and animation on Sonic Boom. We are also ready to improve sponsor ties. The most important thing is not the fact the series survived for 25 years, but how many games was developed. Our goal – add something new and overcome any potential hardships.

Sonic Adventure 3 would be nice. That or a game that actually feels like Genesis-era Sonic. I haven't played any recent (past 3 years or so) Sonic games, but up until then nothing really got my interest.

Oh, and when they mention improving sponsor ties... the only thing I can think of is a Sonic Persona. I'll see you in February, Sonic!

I'd like to see HD remakes of the genesis Sonic games. Also a second Sonic RPG would be awesome. Other than that I really don't care about a new Sonic game. Sega has milked that franchise dry.

Sonic 3 and knuckles on retro engine like sonic 2 on android with online play and extra beta cut stages.

I'd be cool with some Sonic3&K-esque content.....We are in an Age of Vintage/Retro

You mean, something like this?

The more we wish for a SA3 or remasters the more Sega is likely to say:

"What? No, we are giving you something much better. Behold: Sonic Boom 2!"

 

[Zense]

Is it just me or is every big sonic game that gets released for a 5-year anniversary? I guess they need 5 years to make an OK game, which is ridiculous considering how much time they spent back in the genesis days with the same gameplay, just less 3D. And still often (not always) the gameplay is worse...

In comparison, though, Mario's 25th anniversary was celebrated with a port of Super Mario All-Stars to the Wii in 2010.

If wishing for Sonic Adventure means there is not going to be one then my monkey's paw, eyelashes, birthday candles, shooting stars, wishbones, coins in wells/fountains, dandelions, talking fish, mermaids and bright stars are going on that.

 

[Supster131]

Sonic Generations 2 please!

 

[Catastrophic]

Sonic Heroes 2. Common Sega. It can hardly be a worse idea than Sonic with a Sword: Motion Control Shenanigans.

 

[KineticSonata]

Sonic VR for the Nintendo NX! lol

But seriously I hope they do Sonic some justice with an upcoming retro title. *keeping fingers crossed*

 

[DaFixer]

Great,lets hope they don't fuck it up....

 

[frogboy]

i hope it's sonic heroes 2.

Ever heard of this hack called Sonic 1: Next Level?

If you haven't, try it. That's essentially what I would like from a Genesis-era Sonic game. Familiar visuals and gameplay, but the levels and enemies aren't rehashed from previous entries in the series. They now have the Taxman's Retro Sonic engine, I can't see why they can't just make a new-old Sonic game with it.

Let's be fair here, Most of the bad sonic games were not done by Sonic team, they were done by third party developers, So if they just do the games like they used to, it should be fine. Personally, i like the sonic riders games, I never played the xbox 360 game but if they made a HD Collection of the 3 games with online play, make it for All consoles and "ONLY USED STANDARD CONTROLS" And sold it for $40 i be happy, or just make another sequel.

Anyone playing the Japanese sonic dash club ?;? Same as sonic dash with levels and stuff ?

 

[banzai200]

Sonic Generations 2, anyone?
Alright, I'll go back to my dream corner

 

[Touko White]

do not rush it like you did Sonic 06, please

 

[storm75x]

Sonic '16

*cough*

 

[ric.]

Since we already have Sonic Generations, all we need is Sonic First Contact, Sonic Insurrection, and Sonic Nemesis to complete the cycle.

 

[keven3477]

Did anyone else noticed that they are also working on a full movie, anyone else having bad feelings about that.

 

[kehkou]

Sonic and Knuckles 2 please!
