Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka has talked a little about the next mainline Sonic the Hedgehog game with the BBC. He was firstly asked about the possibility of remake of the Sonic Adventure games, which launched on the SEGA Dreamcast. Mr. izuka says that instead of remaking an older title they would rather put the time and energy into developing a new title which would bring “more complex, more interesting worlds”
But Mr Iizuka insists it’s not something his team will be looking at, as new technology enables them to create “richer, more complex, more interesting worlds”.
“Instead of using all that time and energy to remake a game that people have already experienced, we could make a brand new game instead,” he says.
“I think the team is really interested in taking that same amount of time and energy and effort to really bring a new experience to the players.”
Thanks to SonicGalaxy27 for sending in the news tip!
Yes and we can bet it will be a new disappointing experience.
and sonic hate comment is here
looking forward
I just hope the new game won’t be too disappointing like Sonic Forces and Sonic Lost World. They didn’t promise us anything with new experiences until Sonic Frontiers.
It’ll be Frontiers again. Funny he’s so against remaking Adventure but rumors have been that Heroes is getting remade so hoping that is real and gets shown soon.
That is not all true sonic lost world may have been bad because it was on a older console. Sonic forces is a awesome game. The villains are amazing so is the graphics. What your saying about sonic forces is a lie and sonic forces actually looks better than sonic frontiers.
Villains? It was just Infinite who had no personality Forces isn’t horrible but it’s not great. Lost World was made for Wii U and its control layout.
“Let’s do something new and crazy” will always be a crap shoot compared to building on a solid foundation. But a modern foundation has been hard to nail down with Sonic Team…so roll the dice again
Yeah Iizuka lost it years ago and it’s gotten worse with Ian Flynn writing story now. The problem started years ago with Sega’s trying to pander to people who either wanted SatAm Sonic or hated Sonic and made it the butt of all their jokes instead of catering to its actual fanbase. Then when Unleashed did well they just stuck with the boost formula for all games after then with story it got worse with Colors since so many praised it because for whatever reason the whiners hated other Sonic characters so they liked that Colors didn’t have that leading to where we are now with a confused mess for Sonic. You can blame the same people who still hate Sonic for Riders not existing anymore but Sonic Mario Kart being a thing. Funny Iizuka won’t go back to Riders just copied Mario Kart and then went back to Sega All Stars racing.
Sheesh, they’re thinking about the next game already? Can’t they wait until each mainline Mega Man series except maybe the Zero series gets a new title? They’re probably going to use the same cookie they used for every Sonic game since Sonic the hedgehog 4 anyway. If you don’t know what that cookie cutter is by now, kiss it.
Why would Sega wait for Capcom to make a Megaman game?
What’s with Nintendo fans and hating sonic?
I think it’s just Sonic haters in general. Do I agree every Sonic game is peak? No but they are at least trying and I know you can’t please everyone.
Not all Sonic games are peak.
I am not against Sonic Team experimenting, but I would rather they focus their efforts on refining the formula they established in frontiers.
Frontiers was trash and yes sadly the next Sonic game will be Frontiers again.
It’s all weirdo millennials who made Sonic the butt of their jokes that’s why mixed with their weird nostalgia from the 90’s. Add in sone of the Genesis SatAm fans who feel Sonic should only be like that not Japanese despite him blatantly copying Dragon Ball 7 Chaos Emeralds, Super Sonic, Shadow and Silver. I won’t forget all of them hated the 2000’s Sonic games just because and now sone admit they never really cared just had no real brain. Sonic should just go back to that tone many of Gen Z want that Sonic X style back the anime Sonic not this weird SonAmy “meta” crap.
What is it with Sonic fans and loving trash?
I swear they regurgitate the same thing every 6 months.
Funny he says that right after re-releasing an old game with a 2-hour new campaign that, even then, doesn’t justify the full price.
I just want them to break back chao garden
Sonic Frontiers was pretty decent. Just do a sequel and improve all the negatives that fans surely complained about.
It could become a pretty damn good game.
Frontiers was trash but yes it will be another Frontiers no improvements that’s how current Sonic Team is.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little hopeful. Sonic has been on a roll lately so here’s to hoping they don’t screw it up.
for the love of god, just fix roger voice and ditch that wannabe dark souls fighting shit.
How about focusing on bringing a GOOD experience to the players?🤷♂️
Fire Ian Flynn, Aaron Webber, and Iizuka. Remake Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, make 3, let Platinum make a Shadow game and Silver game, CyberConnect2 Sonic Battle 2, and make Sonic Riders again. Bring Shiro Maekawa back, even let RGG make a Sonic game. Bring the 4Kids voice cast back. I do not see how people thought Frontiers was good the game went on discount a week after release so Sega could exaggerate the sales.
It would be nice if the next new 3d platformer would let us play emerald coast, city escape or seaside hill from sonic adventure, sonic adventure 2 or sonic heroes exactly like they were on the gamecube.
Empty words from a soulless company. New experiences. Sure.
I wish that Sickr got paid for every comment an article gets because all he has to do is post a single picture of Sonic the Hedgehog and it generates a plethora of comments from haters and fans alike.
I swear the sheer amount of hatred for Sonic on this site needs to be studied or something because holy shit how do you hate a video game character THIS badly?
So more needless experimentations
Joy….
He always says this. It’s basically just gonna be Frontiers 2 no improvements.
No one here played Sonic Racing Crossworlds😔
So far we three movies which brought interest back into the franchise with a fourth on the way, Frontiers, while not the most liked game sold the most for a 3D Sonic game, Generations remaster with an entire Shadow story which was well recieved, a crossover with DC of all things, and a Kart racer that some people say rivals if not surpasses Mario Kart World which is debatable but still. What more do they have to do to make people a little more hopeful for this franchise?
Sonic 3 the movie was garbage and caped off early in sales, movie 4 will flop because of Amy and Metal they don’t attract people like Shadow does and Carey ruined the 3rd movie people are tired of him since he’s coming back. Sonic Crossworld does not surpass Mario Kart people only say that because they want to hate on Nintendo and the game has already flopped Crossworlds that is no one wanted it fans want Riders back. Shadow Generations had an awful story by Ian Flynn the game sold well because Shadow closest thing to a new Shadow game in years. DC and the comic book industry are garbage so a crossover is not a thing to brag about IDW is a massive dump and should be investigated given how they do business also run by a lunatic. Sonic Frontiers is not the best selling 3D Sonic game and the game went on discount less than a week after it released the profit from it was extremely low by that information even worse steeper discounts followed after the release window.
More movie hate
I won’t argue with some these things such as DC because i’m not to knowledged in in the Comic book industry but COME ON at the time of writing this the 3rd Sonic still sits around the top 3 of highest performing video game movies and what do you mean Amy and Metal don’t attract people? If anything since the release of the third film their popularity has skyrocketed especially Metal Sonic (and people loved Jim Carrey so that’s a lie) Crossworlds was only out for about a week or two so it’s to soon to say it flopped and just about everywhere you go online you’ll see praise for the game so it’s not just Sonic fans. I won’t argue the Shadow Gens comment but Frontiers, sales or not still sold around 4.5 Million copies whereas Heroes sold around 3.41 to 3.44 Million.
No one is playing that. The game flopped no one was going to pay $70 for that. Sega taking L’s and it’s deserved given their garbage employees and partners praising someone’s murder.
Where is the Sonic Heroes remake
