http://www.tssznews.com/2009/01/05/the-blog-sega-doesnt-want-you-to-read/ This is some interesting stuff. But if you're not one for interesting stuff, the last line sums it up: "[Sonic Team is] forced to work on a franchise [Sonic] they no longer care about, and when they do get a chance to stretch their legs [NiGHTS], it is under tight restrictions." Tight restrictions, of course, being the one-year deadline for JoD. Makes sense. There's probably a rift between Sonic Team and Sega of Japan, and it explains the deteriorating quality of their work. Thoughts? |

Well there seems to be a common theme in video games right now, I mean Mario, Zelda, Star fox, and well sonic 's games are all getting bad. I mean they've been around for a long time, they need to do something to either rejuvenate or kill these franchises. And seeings how we all like these franchises it'd be nice if they'd do something to make them better |

I don't think any of your examples are quite as extreme as Sonic's, though. I do agree that Starfox needs a new direction, but it's current one isn't really bad. And Nintendo isn't quite so pushy with its developers. As we all know, Ninty has no problem with delaying their games for quality. With JoD, Sega of Japan made Sonic Team rebuild the whole game from the ground up on a lower-spec console without changing the deadline. It's enough to make me wonder if the decline of the Sonic franchise is even Sonic Team's fault. |

The simple solution is: sell the rights to Sonic and the name "Sonic Team" to another branch of Sega more willing to give the hedgehog the good games he deserves, and let them make the games they please. |

That's definitely a problem. But I don't think it's the main one, or at least it's not the only one. Ever realized how Sonic games nowadays are cluttered with gimmicks? It's not hard to notice. But Sonic Unleashed really made it apparent with the Werehog. That is, core speedy Sonic stages just don't fill a game. Sonic games would be like 4 hours long if they were just speed stages, and Sonic Team doesn't want that. Solution? Sonic Team's is to add on gimmicks. BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO. Reason being, WiiWare. Xbox Live. Playstation Network. MAKE A DOWNLOADABLE SONIC. DO IT SONIC TEAM. ...I'll stop there. |
