  1. Ya know what Sonic might need?

    Let's face the facts, people. Classic Sonic is dead. It's not coming back. Gone. È finito. Sega has the rotten corpse of ye olde hedgehogge nailed to the ground, and sometimes they wiggle his jaw to pretend it's alive.

    Meanwhile, there's this unique play style Sonic had, and nobody else managed to reproduce. The games directly influenced by Sonic either mimicked the superficial aspects while sporting shit gameplay (Awesome Possum) or were good by being something else entirely (Sparkster). Scarcely any of them tried incorporating some game design, and none succeeded.

    Compare to the massive influence Super Mario Brothers and Metroid had in several genres. I bet even Wonder Boy was more influential than Sonic in that camp. Sega's only legacy was furry mascots and attitude.

    With that in mind, why not an entirely new character? A different series, with similar gameplay. Innovation in a completely different direction from Sega, preserving the pinbally goodness at the core. Someone, somewhere, should be trying this!

    Anybody out there who'd fund such a thing if it existed?

    (in any case, whatever, at least I stopped lurking for once)
