    How far into development were S2 sprites still being used? It's interesting that almost all of the level artwork seems to be in its final state but the spritework for Sonic seems to have been changed at the very last minute.

    This is getting crazy. Wonder how far Ruby can go before he's stopped?

    He'll be running SEGA West before he's stopped.

    We can only hope. I WISH Ruby was running SoA.

    I'd say people gave even less of a shit about Sonic CD but that was greenlit.


    That was a different situation. S3&K has been ported to almost every system under the sun. CD only had 3 releases: Original Sega CD, Windows 95/98 port, and Gems Collection. It was difficult to port, and when they saw Taxman's PoC, they realized he had saved him the work of doing it themselves.

    S3&K doesn't have those things going for it. Genesis/MD emulation is a walk in the park nowadays, 1/2/3 have saturated the market before, with the added misfortune of S3&K selling significantly less than the other two.

    Not saying any of these reasons are good reasons for Sega not to take the plunge, but they have a myriad of rationales they could employ as to why they won't.

    On the plus side, Taxman's work has provided the best iterations of 3 classic Sonic games, and has opened up doors for him to work on his own IP's and non-Sonic projects, which has me pretty pumped. I'd say that's a pretty good consolation at the end of the day.

    Welp, that's pretty heartbreaking. There goes the last visage of hope this franchise had fostered between 2011 and 2014. There is literally nothing Sonic related to be excited about coming from Sega at this point. Wish you luck in your pursuits, Stealth.

    It is becoming really painful. It's like at this point they might as well just bank off nostalgia as that's all that's left.

    I wish the Sonic series was treated more like the Kirby series. Just the same game with different levels and one or two different gameplay mechanics. That's all I want. Really that's it. Why is that so hard?


    I'd say because Sega are aiming for relevance instead of quality, and in doing so, they fail at both.
