Yuji Naka and Sonic Team interviewed by Eurogamer TV

I wouldn't mind a Sonic Rush 3, or even a Sonic Unleashed 2—it'd be building upon a couple of fun, working formulas, which is only ever a good thing. I've learned not to take Sonic Team's rather broad PR statements with anything more than a grain of salt more recently, though; it's not anything solid enough to base any real assumptions on.

Anyone remember when they appeared to strongly hint at Unleashed having a couple of 3D remakes of classic levels? Gee, I wonder what happened to that?

Eagerly looking forward to being proven wrong, though!

 

God no, no Rush 3.

Bring on Unleashed 2 please. Unleashed is far, far better.

 

Personally, I wouldn't mind a Sonic Rush 3, at all. Just as long as it takes more after the first than the second one, that is. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Rush Adventure was a bad game, it just... wasn't quite the same.

 

I think you're underestimating XBLA. If they can get games as spectacular looking and high quality as Braid on there, I hardly think a good looking Sonic platformer would be a huge problem.

 

Remember size constraints, you don't want to make it too large with all the HD art and music tracks.

 

You mean the classic Sonic game style with the wrapper effect that the fisheye had, that would be awesome especially if it wasn't fisheye all the time, just now and then a kind of 45 degree Z axis would appear.

 

I'm getting tired of being so limited as to where I can go

 

Why not just make sonic adventure 1 with more cohesive stages and more useful adventure feilds? seriously nothing was wrong with that game aside from that and the usual problems (VA, script, character selection)

 

If Sega are smart, and I know they're not, we'll get the definitive Sonic 4.

 

I support a total overhaul of Sonic Adventure 1. Basically they should just keep the same locals and the same plot, but that's about it. Tweak it a little to get rid of Big or change his gameplay maybe. Everything else, level design, graphics, in game models, adventure fields, move sets, voice acting, script, whatever should be either edited or modified.

Never understood how different characters who had the same cutscenes as the other characters somehow had different conversations despite the fact the the cutscenes are based off the same thing. Seems like kinda wasted effort to me.

I honestly don't want Sega to even think about a Sonic 4. Make a 2.5D Sonic Unleashed esq game fine, but stay away from the retro stuff. This new team has no idea what the retro games are and what made them great. The people who did left a while ago.

 

This is why I'll drop references to NSMB and to a lesser degree Super Smash Bros. (Though Brawl's 1P experience was dire and I never want to experience it again, thank you very much, it had decent graphics and effects.)

Why no Klonoa? Never played it, though I probably should.
