Japanese publication DIME has released an interview with Sonic Team boss, Takashi Iizuka, during which he talked in-depth about the evolution of the video game series. SEGA was facing a low point for Sonic prior to the advent of Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast with Sonic Jam meant to satisfy Saturn owners and inevitably failing. Iizuka said via machine translation “That’s why, with the next Sonic game, we wanted to create the absolute best possible game, partly as a way to show our appreciation to the fans. It was with that strong determination that we developed Sonic Adventure.”
“Even looking at it now, more than 20 years after its release, I think it was a bit over the top in terms of sheer volume. There were six characters, each with their own scenario, and once you cleared them all, the final scenario would appear. I think it was truly an incredible scale for its time.”
Big the Cat was revolutionary. Best cat in the Sonic franchise hands-down
June 24th, shall forever be etched in my memory. Went one whole day without any Sega news.
Sonic is for children only. Remember that.
What the absolute fuck are you talking about
You sound like Bob Chapek when he said animation was for kids.
Nah its for everybody in all ages. Deal with it.
Shame they don’t think that every time they pump out mediocre games 💩
Hopefully they have Blaze in the next game with sexy unlockable bikini outfits 🤤
They are not going to do sexy stuff.
@BlazeTheCatLover69
It’s perfectly normal to feel that way about Blaze the cat.
Person isn’t BlazeTheCatLover69, it’s the loser, that steals the names of others.
Person isn’t Fox, it’s the loser, that steals the names of others.
How does it feel to know that nobody likes you or wants you around. Sll you fo every day on this site is show yow pathetic you are and that you gave no life or anybody that cares about you. It also shows how stupid you are because a intelligent and rational person wouldn’t be spending every day of their existence making the rest of the world hate them. Again, on a site where like three people are going to notice? You are a loser. At least we don’t have to worry about you ever reproducing.
Mhmm, yeah keep feeding me ☺️
and they created the best sonic game.
Yeah, Sonic Adventure 2.
adventure 2 is up there, just take tails out that damn mech
I may be weird, but I always liked the mech. Getting A ranks with both Tails and Eggman was so fun to kid me.
They will never get to that point ever again. The adventure series is over.
But the Adventure designs will still be around in the future.
Iizuka is so full of it. Yet he blocks a remake of this and 2 and a possible 3. The 4Kids VA cast doing the voices on a remake would be perfect.
That would be one of the key definitions of IMPERFECT. Griffith isn’t Drummond and Ortiz isn’t Doulliard. Either get the original cast, or very convincing soundalikes. Even properly trained AI (NO TEXT-TO-SPEECH) would do.
Or better yet, just use the original voice lines that already exist. No need to rewrite the script to an already good game.
Agreed fire Ian Flynn, Iizuka, and Aaron Webber
This series was definitely one of a kind. I think it makes sense that they would be a little hesitant to touch upon this series again since they realize the scope of it.
They need to make another Sonic game with that mindset
Sonic Adventure is not only one of my all time favorite games, but also one of the inspirations for my writing
What kind of stuff do you like to write? I’m also a writer, so I’m always looking for more inspiration.
I write Fiction, usually of the science or urban variety: I haven’t published anything (yet) though
Same here.
Frogan (Morgan Kamal Majade) will cause Sega stocks to drop, decline, rot away, suffer, shrink, disappear and fail.
If only they could do that again with another Sonic Adventure (or let someone else who immensely gives a damn do it).
I feel like adventure 3 would be a huge deal if it became a real thing. So many sonic fans want an adventure 3, even I want it! It would truly be the best thing sega can do for sonic, I hope it happens one day.
