Current Events > Is it really that difficult to make a good 3D Sonic game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've seen this argument before. But Sonic Team aren't exactly competent at making great 2D Sonic games either.

Something like the Sand Kingdom in Mario Odyssey in a Sonic game would be great. I'm not sure why they're always focused on these constant narrow pathways and pitfalls. Sonic can run fast. Take advantage of that. It would also help if they get the fundamentals of Sonics controls down first. He always feels quite awkward to play as in 3D (probably because they're so focused on boosting).

Did Sonic Team get completely rebuilt at some point? Surely they can't be the same team behind so many classic Sonic titles and even stuff like Phantasy Star Online.

Their track record is so bad now, I'm not sure why SEGA don't just license out Sonic to other studios that are capable of making good games. It's not like there's a quality assurance concern anymore.

At this point it shouldn't be, since they've actually had a formula to build on for the past three or so games. And now they've totally turned around and made Forces for some reason.

I don't even know honestly. I know some went onto make NiGHTS but I have no idea if those guys are still around or what.
