What forums would that be? The forums I've been too, including this one, are saying it's a stupid idea and the game is going to flop. If you knew what he meant then why did you ignore what he meant? Two reasons. One, I needed a small comeback. Second, I'm tired and my reading skills are lazy right n...

Don't make assumptions. I know what he meant. I was referring to the "whole passage" comment, smart ass.

...I just thought you had a crappy idea. I tried to make this point with two quotes and let people connect them, and agree or disagree. I made no assumptions about Sonic or the Sonic series as a whole. Sonic team has had new ideas, they were just bad ones. Innovation is not a bad thing, and you ass...

... If Sparksters put into a 3d game he will be milked like a cow.
*Falls off chair* Wh-what do you say?! Not Sparkster! C'mon, as crazy as the gaming industry is now, Konami knows putting Sparkster in 3D would be impossible; how can you aim the rocket pack?

The classic Sonic games will always be the best in the series, no matter how good the modern Sonic games may come. However, like most platform characters out there, Sonic is a character of diversity. Each game, we lean on the edge of our chairs to see what crazy idea Sonic Team has in store for us. ...

So you believe you can think of a better idea? It just torks me off that people complain that the Sonic series hasn't had a truely new idea, yet we complain because Sonic Team doesn't keep it pure. Christ, what do you want? If the next Sonic game was a clone of S3&K, we'd complain because it wasn't ...

It’s completely unfeasible in Sega’s current financial position. Is that so? I thought SEGA was doing well finacially, with the merger, the buying out other companies (Silicon Knights), and the independant development studios forming back into one. I mean, Sonic Team obviously had eno...

nobody likes the forest and haunted mansion levels. I like the forest and haunted mansion levels. I shouldn't make general statements. I just didn't like the feel of Frog Forest - Mystic Mansion. They just felt tedious to me. As for Casino Park and BINGO Highway, they both would have passed if thos...

Er, just one of us. You, me, someone else here, anyone. I dream of developing games with those at SEGA. If not SEGA, then I'll develop games elsewhere.

Yuji Naka himself has said that he cares more about making money than making good games. Where did he say that? O.O And I don't think any of us are looking for Sonic to make the news; we just want good games. I didn't mean Sonic being on the national news or anything, but fair enough. I don't know ...

One of us here is a potential SEGA employee, and the reason times change is because nobody does something about it. The modern developers at SEGA probably don't know what we desire, so it's up to one of us to take action. Unfortunetly, I'm not old enough, some of us don't care, and most of us are pr...

Sigh. Look. I want a Sonic craze too. When Sonic was famous back in the early 90's, I was just a drooling toddler with barely any self-awareness, whereas you adults got to embrace that era as a full memory. This transition as a third party company has not been pretty, but I'm confident SEGA will mak...

I never choose to label any of the recent Sonic games disappointments . In my honest perspective, even Sonic Heroes was enjoyable when I first played it. I would someday like a side-scrolling Sonic game, untouched by gimmicks, trippy level designs, alternate routes and a game the majority of our fan...

but Sega either doesn't have a clue which direction to take, or is content to simply tack on weak gimmicks, a far cheaper and ultimately more profitable method. As for what SEGA could do to the original Sonic 2D engine... I have a couple suggestions. As Sonic runs a loop-de-loop, the camera will ce...

Hey, I like Chaotix! As for what SEGA could do to the original Sonic 2D engine... I have a couple suggestions. As Sonic runs a loop-de-loop, the camera will center Sonic and the stage rotates independantly, giving you a motion trip on the opticals. As for the co-op thingy, they should use the same c...

Well, try to look at it this way; it's not a Sonic game. Pretend the game is totally non Sonic-related. Shadow has been stripped entirely out of the Sonic universe to form his own. Eggman may be in it, but just pretend that it's another Eggman for use of the Shadow universe. The term Bizarro World ...

That's not the title screen. That screen serves as a cinema after defeating Axle Gear in the beginning battle and retriving the first sword.

The Sparkster legacy should remain a side-scroller, just like every Mega-Drive saga. You know how Sonic ended up in 3D? Yeah, that's why. On another note, I'm making a Sparkster site titled Rocket Knight Tavern , and I'm getting it hosted by Sepwich. However, the site is yet to recieve my request. I...
