I personally feel that Sega needs to stop listening to the die hards on this let's "move back to basics" approach as most Games nowadays are 3D and Sonic not embracing that is gonna make them look dated to the general public.

Imo I like the newer Sonic Games (with the exception of that horrible 360 Game) I think that this Game is being clever with balancing old and new together, but it should be in 3D imo.

They are making Project Sonic too though, which has Old/New Sonic, seemingly a sequel to Generations.

That Game looks good too.

The only thing that could hurt that Game is that it looks a bit darker for a Sonic Game, I like darker stories, but considering that Sonic is aimed at a family audience I could see those Family Moms groups trying to ban it as it isn't "suitable" for their children even though they more than likely play GTA.

I think that Platformers can survive in 3D, especially a Sonic game with the kind of levels that they do.

The main thing that I think Sonic needs to do is maybe do a plot that shows that it's audience has grown up, we're not all kids anymore that play Sonic, Sonic Adventure & Sonic Adventure 2 came close to what I was saying, but I honestly think that the main issue is the lack of growing up in it's plotlines.

I don't mean going dark either, just more of a grown up vibe that even Mario does in some of it's side installments.

3D Sonic's problem has always been camera angles and uninspiring level design. You only have to look at the reception and sales of Sonic (the original game) up to Sonic & Knuckles compared to now. Fans have been calling for a true 2D Sonic game for years now, it's about time they delievered

The camera angles I'll give you is a problem in 3D Sonic.

I honestly don't think that in a 3D age where Games are pushing the boat out with new graphical ideas, and plot ideas, that Sonic revisiting the very first Game is a wise idea.

I think that Sonic Mania will be a good Game, but it won't be the answer for the general public.

Sega needs to make a Sonic Game that's gonna shock people, and have less dodgy camera angles like you've pointed out.

Why not? Super Mario still remains the most successful franchise of all time, because Nintendo have never strayed too far from the formula. Both 2D and 3D Mario games sell by the bucket load. Sonic Generations was well received and was a commercial success because people saw it as a return to form. It will 100% answer for Sonic fans; we've had 3D Sonic for 16 years and none of those games have matched the success of the first games.

Noticed yesterday that will be made to PC also. Didn´t pay attention to it that, but then realized that it might actually work on mine, which has me excited on another level entirely.

I have, it's good. I think it's based on the scrapped Sonic CD level?
