Sonic The Hedgehog is without a doubt one of the most beloved video game characters in history. The speedy blue blur was a testament to the rebellion phase of the 90’s, and Sega took that notion to the bank. However, Sonic soon fell into a major rut in terms of quality of his gaming titles, and now his hits are really hit or miss. The last truly great one was Sonic Mania, and that was a game made by fans! Many of whom long for the days of the Sonic Adventure series.
Apparently, they’re not alone though, for Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka noted that he has an interest in the games as well, and he knows why they’re special, as well as why they deserve a remake:
“It was the first highspeed 3D action game that also featured a scenario highlighted with six different stories, the A-life Chao, six unique styles of gameplay – it is a unique game offering even 20 years after its release. At the time, it also wasn’t just a solitary software release, it was the title to bring people to the Dreamcast and we were given the budget to make something to showcase the hardware. However, it was the very first 3D game that we worked on and looking at it now I can see the rough edges it has, which really makes me want to remake it again.”
A lot of fans would love a Sonic Adventure remake or continuation, especially since the last true effort from Sega in regards to a Sonic game was Sonic Forces, which was mediocre at best.
Also, fans are a bit nervous about the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog movie, which is live-action and the teases for Sonic have been less than stellar.
We’ll just have to wait and see what the fate of Sonic will be.
