I'm stuck at work with nothing better to do, so I just filled it out. All the names they have for the various characters' own games are terrible.
It's too bad you can't leave any comments; I'd like to tell them to concentrate on SONIC and making the level design better rather than a bunch of other characters.

Maybe they should focus on making a good Sonic game first. It's been a while.

They missed the most important question: do you want a return to 2D or not?

i tried to make it as obvious as possible that the only good game would start sonic. and maybe have tails in it.

A good Sonic game would be tops on my list. Seems like it's been ages since we had one of those.
A Nights update would kick ass too. Sadly, since it's Sega we're dealing with, my expectations are not high.

It's so sad...I can't help but think of those little cheap-ass Scholastic books that they used to make for book-order forms/sales back in elementary school when I was a kid when I read those titles.

I would vote for Shadow, only because it's the best chance of getting a true Sonic game. I could really care less if the avatar is blue or black. Just give me a full game of Sonic gameplay, please. And fix that god awful camera.
WTF, I've been a Sonic fan since Sonic 1 on MD/Genesis, and I happen to think Shadow is awesome. Not sure he'd work in his own game though, since he needs the same gameplay as Sonic needs. I never did like Tails, Robotnik doesn't need his own game outside of Mean Bean Machine, Amy would be a 'girls only game', you just know it, and Knuckles already had a shot at it. Perhaps Knuckles needs another go, given that he was handed a failed Sonic beta for a game. Either Knuckles or Shadow (if Shadow means more Sonic style gameplay).Lindsay said:
Edit: Burnign Rangers was demanding a sequel the day it was released, as the concept needs more powerful hardware to be truely successful.
I would love for Tails to get his own game, if it played a lot like the Tails' Adventure portion of Sonic Adventure 1. Some of the most fun gameplay in the Sonic series are the levels where you have to replay a course as Tails, using his flying abilities to beat Sonic to the finish line.
As far as pure speed and shortcutting through a level goes, Tails has always trumped Sonic.

Considering that in every game except Chaotix and Tails Adventure, you play as him, and in the games with multiple characters he usually has the most stages or stages geared towards him, this statement makes no sense...
And I'd personally like a Rouge game. Make it a MGS parody or some shit
Shadow: Renegade
I would love to play something like that, Sonic/Shadow levels in SA 2 were a blast, the best 3D Sonic so far and I really liked Shadow.
Make a 3D Shadow with a Jak & Dexter level production and a crazy 2D Sonic pure oldschool but with a ton of the new features possible for 2D nowadays. That would be great.

Yall can forget about nights, i am positive its not making a come back, burning rangers too. It would be cool tho, but what are the odds.
Sonic and Mario get stuck in one body due to Dr. Robotnik's crazy potion! Its up to you to find the antedote and separate them! Awesome idea! On some levels of the game you're Mario, and on others you turn into Sonic. There's no control over who you turn into--however some of Sonic's powers become available to Mario at some point of the game, and vice versa.
Think about it--Mario running like lightning... Sonic eating mushrooms, pounding things and doing Mario's flips. Sounds like the best crossover game ever!
Tails and Luigi end up bumping into eachother and Luigi sucks on Tail's tail... (vacuum) There's so much that could be done here! :lol

Seperate games is the right answer IMO. SEGA might be making a right move if they follow through on any ideas here...
Apparently all of these superfluous Sonic characters, like the stupid cat thing for example, have sizable followings, hence their continued appearance in the "Adventures" and Hereoes games. But, in my opinion, they really ruin the pace of the games. Sure, there's variety, but I buy Sonic for SONIC. Tails and Knuckles were just cool options in the 2d games, not compulsory characters.
He mightn't be as fast but I got a more Sonic the Hedgehog feeling from Donkey Kong in Jungle Beat than I did from Sonic in the Adventures and Heroes games. Bouncing from enemy to enemy, careering around the levels.... speed, propulsion, combos etc are implimented really well in Jungle Beat. I'd like to see something similar in Sonic, mixed with the fast loop de loop fayre we know and love. You feel responsible for the cool action on screen in Jungle Beat whereas in the newer Sonic games I've felt a bit like I've been on autopilot holding the analog stick up and reacting with a jump now and then.
I still really like SA and SA2:B though. I especially love playing the first level of the second game for "Escape from the City" by Crush 40...

I like Knuckles for secondary characters, that's about it... can't stand Tails, and the others are even more annoying!!
I agree with lots of the sentiments in this post - a new NiGHTS, Rez re-release, PDS2... but are we forgetting - Skies of Arcadia 2, Phantasy Star 5, and Streets of Rage 4 (with Yuzo Koshiro on soundtrack duties)???

So we know the upcoming GC game isn't Sonic Heroes 2 - maybe it's a Sonic solo game with the next most popular character getting a next gen game. The character poll can't be refering to a game that will be out by the end of the year - the development time can't be that short.
If Sonic does go solo and all the secondary characters might appear in the spinoff game or introduce more (think Chaotix 2)

How about, "Sonic the Hedgehog 4"?
Get Treasure to help you or something. I don't care. Ditch Shadow, Tails, and Knuckles, make it 2D or (2.5-D, whatever), and make the levels interesting and original.

Sonic and tails in an Eggman omelette

Hahaha I misread that at first as "Blow up all your money", which in retrospect is just as good an idea! Why Sega bothers coming out with INGENIOUS ways of losing all their money boggles the mind. They should just withdraw it all from the bank, put it in a hole and blow it up.

Well, in Sega's defense, a Sonic spin-off series would serve them well financially. At this point, they're just trying to create games that sell well, and thus far, if it ain't Sonic, VF, or Monkey Ball, it ain't happening. So, I'd expect to see Sonic and his buddies whored out in a way only Mario can relate to from now on.
I guess I'm a sucker for the hover-running then, I always thought it looked awesome. Tails always pissed me off in any game after the MD Sonics, he just got more and more annoying.Lindsay said:
Lets say something we can all agree on though: we want a true Sonic game, Sonic running fast, collecting rings. That's what made this series. Some of the later Sonic levels in SA2 were really getting there with the 3D Sonic thing, in particular Crazy Gadget with the changing gravity and warp pipes and stuff. The balance of exploring the level and running fast was spot on there, they just need a full Sonic game with that sort of balance and we're sorted.
