Cue suspense music. This is batshit insane. So SONICTEAM actually got letters, written in red crayon, saying, "hello sega pleez giv sonic a gun and make him cuss too i am your #1 fan love timmy"? I am unable to describe just how appalled I really am that these kids who play video games, who took their time to actually write to SONICTEAM, would request such... Such things. Was it also them who requested the infamous "team-action" in Sonic Heroes? If so, what will they request next? A Cream the Rabbit rhythm game, a Sonic Shuffle 2, or worse, a Sonic.EXE Card Battle Network: Shadow Edition? Okay, I'm overreacting, but I think I finally found the spark to SONICTEAM's fuse. I am lead to another question now; where did these kids get SONICTEAM'S mailing address, if what Yuji Naka says is valid? We were once childern too, and as Sonic fans, we could write actual letters to SONICTEAM and tell them to deliver us a satisfying [3D] Sonic experience, with expansive level designs, less bottomless pits, and a real emphasis of Sonic's speed, as opposed to automated loops and scripted action sequences (For instance, the bungie-cord in SA2, Green Forest). If we're lucky, we might even get Fang back.Yuji Naka later commented on the design of the game.
"We had received letters from kids, and many of them had asked for Sonic to have a gun," he said. "We felt that it was not appropriate for Sonic to have a gun, but maybe it would be ok with Shadow and that's how we started on the game."
The spark to the fuse.

As well all know, the quality of [3D] Sonic games have been deteriorating for every title released since Sonic Adventure 2. At first, we believed it was because of the Naka-san's incompetance and his unhealthy obsession with ferraris. We've later realised it was not really Naka, but the influnece of Takashi Iizuka and his platoon of kamikaze demolishers, dubbed SEGA Studios USA... Or so we thought. Gentlemen, I believe we have found another link. Read the final paragraph of this article about the recent promotional Shadow the Hedgehog wresting event.

This is BS! I think it was Iizuka writing all those letters with crayons!
also that new studio Fucked everything up, for example Now we get 90% more american influence, like those 4KIDS suckers.
GTA damaged the game industry, well not really..its the fault of people who dont have brains and cant sit down and THINK! they just copy garbage that stupid people think is cool, they ignored their roots and taint them.
I have millions of Ideas! thats why I gonna start studiying Game design, to go and smack Iizuka's ass out of the picture and Fire Naka!
I can dream can I? but seriously..Im gonna make games.

PM, your sarcasm has become delightfully scathing since the release of Shadow. It's a refreshing change from your usual optimism.
But while this has further justified all lack of respect for Sonic Team and our general disgust with Sonic fans, it only explains where they got the horrible idea. It doesn't excuse the bad level design, boring background art, broken gameplay, or THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

Is grammar all you people worry about? You make such a fuzz about it, get a life! I just write fast thats all, I dont have the time to lick the keyboard unlike you freaks.Squirrelknight wrote:You might want to spend some time studying English before you get into game design.SegaSonic wrote: I have millions of Ideas! thats why I gonna start studiying Game design, to go and smack Iizuka's ass out of the picture and Fire Naka!
Its easy! they should go to a formula similar to SA1, and make it better from then on. They just invent new things but ruin it before it almost achives perfection. In Shadow, they had a good consept but ruined it in some parts and in top of that they gave it the last blow that was changing the VA's with utter crap. Same thing with Heroes, BUT NOOO! they had to jank the chain and trow a good consept down the toilet.

A game where Shadow's past was revealed, and a game where the surroundings are usefull were good consepts, there are more but I dont want to type anymore for now.Owen Axel wrote:Out of morbid curiousity, what exactly was the "good consept"? And by that I do mean concept.
well, good for you.I type fast too, but I'd like to hope my posts are more coherent than SegaSonic's.
Also, there's this amazing technological breakthrough called the backspace key, that actually allows you to erase mistakes as you make them! When used in conjunction with the 'edit' button, you can efficiently correct your posts at your leisure.
Also, I propose that 'chain janking' become the GHZ's official sport, right next to Buzkashi.

Well, you could always try this.
EDIT: I assume that Sega's seen it by now, so it's safe to say that the link isn't worksafe.
