Recently there have been rumors about a possible new Sonic & All-Stars Racing title being in development. Apparently placeholder Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed toys were featured at a recent toy event which stated there was a new racing game coming out this year. Supposed slides from a Sumo Digital presentation also leaked: This was also posted by the same person who leaked information on Sonic Forces in advance (staff checked IP to confirm this isn't an imposter): Keep in mind these are all just rumors. Nothing has been confirmed yet. -
The Boost trilogy consists of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colours, and Sonic Generations. Sonic Unleashed is the game which started it all, introducing the fast paced Boost styled 3D gameplay formula. Sonic Colours then took the gameplay formula and slowed it down quite a bit to allow for better platforming. Sonic Generations tweaked the gameplay formula even further to allow for better 3D exploration. What's your favourite title in the Boost trilogy and why? My favourite out of the three is Sonic Colours. I find the gameplay to be the most fun due to its slower pace and bigger emphasis on platforming. The level tropes are all very unique. From a candy factory above the clouds, to an alien filled forest in space. It's very different from level tropes in previous Sonic games. The soundtrack is very well composed. I'd have to say it's one of my favourite game soundtracks. The game does have its flaws such as the shallow story and linear 3D paths, but I honestly can't see SEGA making another Sonic game which matches the level of creativity in this game. It's that good.

Seeing as a lot of the members here seem to be of the younger generation (Gen Y mostly, it seems) I'm wondering how many here are Mario fans? I'm not. I grew up during the time when you were either a Sega man or a Nintendo man and you would wear your allegiance on your sleeve. School yard arguments, little sledges of "I bet your SNES can't do this," when showing off Sonic 2 to a Nintendo loving mate. Basically, "Sega does what NintenDON'T," is tattooed on my heart. In the intervening years I've softened somewhat. I actually own a 3DS and a DS. If you'd told a 13 year old me that I'd own a Nintendo console one day you'd probably get a barrage of abuse. Although I really do love my Ds-s, and some Nintendo franchises such as Pokemon, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Kid Icarus, I just can NOT bring myself to love Mario. But it's not just a result of him being Sonic's rival back in the day. I've played the games (admittedly the last one I played was New Super Mario Bros on DS) and I just don't enjoy them. I find them tedious and dull. However, younger gamers don't seem to have this issue. They started playing when that great war was over and the new war lord, Sony, had appeared on the screen. Nintendo is now to Sony what Sega used to be to Nintendo. It's very different. So, I'm interested, younger Sonic fans, do you consider yourself a fan of Mario as well? Does the old battles between the two even enter your mind? Is it something that even occurs to you, is it even on your radar or is it simply something old men, rocking on their porches loving holding the worn shell of their Mega Drives, mumble about to anyone who will listen?

A couple of days ago there was a job listing from SEGA's UK-based Hardlight studio, which is focused on creating games for mobile and portable platforms. "The Studio comprises small, agile teams working on new IP & well-known SEGA IP. Project durations are 5-10 months, building on the success of their first projects on iOS – Sonic Jump & Sonic Dash – Hardlight is now working on some new & exciting projects." Kotaku has now received an actual confirmation from SEGA that the new mobile Sonic title is indeed in development. “At this time, Sega is able to confirm that we are working on a new mobile game titled Sonic Dash. We have not announced any specific details on the product but we will be releasing additional information on this exciting, new game in the near future.” Source: Kotaku

http://sonicunited.org/2013/05/17/sonic-lost-world-officially-revealed-plus-partnership-and-new-mario-sonic-title/ I am unsure if I'll be picking this up. I have never been a fan of the Mario & Sonic sports series, but judging by the screenshots this game seems to have had quite some effort put into it. What's your thoughts on the new Mario & Sonic sports title?

Sonic Lost World is out. It has received a mixed reception. Scoring 5/10's from some reviewers, and 9/10's from others. The Wii U version holds a Metacritic score of 63, wheras the 3DS version holds a Metacritic score of 61. What would you like to see for the next Sonic game? I would personally like to see the parkour gameplay return, but sped up, and for "grounded" regular level design to return, more creative level tropes, and tougher bosses. I think the parkour gameplay has a lot of potential. I would also like to see other characters playable, but that might be pushing it as SEGA seems to just want Sonic as the only playable character right now.

I didn't create this, but I feel that it's worth showcasing on the forums as well as the main site. Main Article: http://sonicunited.org/2013/10/20/hi-res-screens-of-sweet-mountain/

We have discussed how well Sonic Adventure holds up, and now we are moving onto discussing how well the sequel holds up. Sonic Adventure 2 is the sequel to Sonic's first big 3D title Sonic Adventure. It was released in 2001 for the SEGA Dreamcast, which was shortly later put to rest. It's currently most well received 3D Sonic game on Metacritic, and the second most well received Sonic game overall on Metacritic. A year later an updated version was released for the Gamecube which introduced some new features while at the same time introducing new problems. The updated version was met with a decent reception. It went onto being a best seller for the Gamecube. In 2012 the game was ported to HD systems, but introduced even more new problems. The sound often glitches, and the controls are overly sensitive and twitchy in this version. Overall it seems that it wasn't optimized correctly for the HD systems. The 2012 port was met with a mixed reception, but was in the digital charts for many months regardless. Sonic Adventure 2 is 11 years old. How well do you think it holds up today? I personally believe it holds up pretty well. Graphically it still looks good. Gameplay-wise it's still enjoyable despite the genre roulette in story mode. Level design isn't as open as in the first Sonic Adventure title, but it's still fun regardless. There's some issues with the controls at times, but I find them to work well enough for the most part. Keep in mind I'm talking about the original version of the game, which has less technical issues than the rereleases. Story-wise, it's still entertaining and enhances the overall experience. I find myself going back to the game a few times per month. I'm aware of the fanbase recently having a more negative outlook on the game, but it's still one of my favourite Sonic titles regardless. I'd like to hear your opinion on the subject.

It has almost been an entire decade since Sonic Heroes was first released. At release it received pretty good scores from critics, mostly receiving 8/10's. I believe it sold quite well too, which was most likely due to all the Sonic X hype at the time, and the game being Sonic's first major multi-platform release. Now that almost a decade has passed, what's your thoughts on Sonic Heroes? I've played it to death so it's kinda boring to me at this point, but I still appreciate it for what it is. It's the first Sonic game I played. It's what got me into the series. The levels drag out for a bit too long, and it can get repetitive at times, but I still think it's a decent game overall despite its flaws. I believe it has aged decently as well. It still looks and feels pretty good on my computer. The console versions probably haven't aged as well though.

Like what the thread title says, any of you guys play SEGA games on emulators? If so what games and what emulators? My brother usually plays a couple, depending on emulator.

Sonic Adventure was Sonic's big step into 3D. It was released in 1998, at the time receiving critical acclaim and selling millions. In 2003 an updated version was released which introduced more new problems than it fixed. It was met with a mixed reception. It sold pretty well regardless. Sonic Adventure is 14 years old. It has had numerous ports and rereleases. How well do you think it holds up today? I personally believe it has aged decently. Not great, but not bad either. Graphically it still looks pretty good. Gameplay-wise however, its flaws are a lot more apparent than they used to be. The controls are quite twitchy. The game has a good idea of how Sonic should control in 3D, but I do not believe they pulled it off too well. Story-wise, it's still good in my eyes. I still find myself going back to the game a couple of times per year. I'd like to hear your opinion on the subject.

What's the most memorable Sonic game to you, and why? I'd have to go with Sonic Heroes. It's the first Sonic game I've ever played. I came across a PC demo for the game and had to try it out. I really enjoyed it at the time. Then a few months later I picked up the full version, which then got me into checking out the other titles in the series. I have a lot of good memories of playing the game too. Something I can't say I've had a lot of with the other Sonic games in the series. It's not my favourite Sonic game, but I'd have to say it is the most memorable experience I've had with a Sonic game so far.
