Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[Rökkan]

Shadow is cool on Sonic Adventure 2, but it was a stupid concept to begin with. The concept of Shadow was to make an edgier, anti-hero Sonic.


The flaw of this concept is that Sonic WAS supposed to be an edgy anti-hero already to begin with. That's why Sonic was popular around the americas, because he was cool, edgy, and had a somewhat selfish attitude (waiting unpatiently for the player to react, and even saying "I'm outta here" and getting out of the stage, giving you a Game Over if you idle for too long in Sonic CD). Doing an edgier character just turns the spotlight down to Sonic and up to the new character.








Also that reminds me, I have been re-playing Sonic the Figthers and goddamn.

It's amazing how much personality they gave to each character in that game. I don't care if Bark is based on a Dynamite Dux character, he's fucking awesome and I want him on other games, instead of having Big instead. I also want Fang in other games so hard, he's such a cool character, and I love that spring tail of his. This game is also the most badass appearance of Metal Sonic ever, slashing with wireframe claws.
