I think they should take out unecessary characters like Amy, Big, Cream, etc. and let Sonic fans to give ideas!

What about your opinions?

stop making them.

as the sonic games are gradually getting worse, if they stop making them then they will stop making things worse and so sonic in a way, will get...'better'?

i don't care. they can do whatever they want.

They should go back to their roots, running and jumping. Like the old PS One games.

Kick the current Sega Team, all of them, and bring in developers that hold the Sega Genesis sonic games in utmost highest regards.

They should just get help from other companies like Nintendo.

- return to classic 2D gameplay, with the possible exception of 3D special stages
- kill off all of Sonic's annoying friends. keep it to a maximum cast of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Doctor Robotnik
- have none of the characters speak
- no awful gameplay gimmicks, like having Sonic turn into a werehog.
- better level design

How is Amy needed in a sonic game besides clinging to Sonic's leg and squeaking like a fangirl on crack?

Do what Castlevania did, make a few bad 3d iterations, then go to handhelds and return to 2d.

My Ideas for a better Sonic game is...

-Restrict to a side scrolling style, 2D mixed in with 3D similar to New Super Mario Bros, bring back the old style 2D style but add a little 3D elements as well

-Take away unneccessary charactors, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman is plenty of charactors

-no annoying cutscenes or charactors that talk

-No Warehog

Yes. Going back to the "roots" works for Castlevania, but Sonic's formula died after Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

stop making them for 5 years or so then release one or two every year. Keep them mainly to portable systems.

Keep the games on handhelds, since it's the only way the franchise will succeed, apparently. Either that, or outsource it to another developer like Treasure.

And yet, for every Sega Sonic hater out there, there's going to be a Sega Sonic lover and those guys will want the series to be going on, no matter how bad the series is, so...

Having just played through Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection recently, it became clear that Sonic was only truly relevant in 2D. The truth is that it's much, much harder to make a good platformer in 3D, and the one area the 2D Sonics never delved into that would've made the hardcore crowd go nuts is basing the game around speed runs. Think about it -- it fits hand in glove in a game based around a speedy character. Sega could've fused the estabished formula of the platformer, with the addictive qualities of a racer and come away with a winner.

Unfortunately, their heads are so far up their collective ass that you'll be seeing Sonic (and DORKY FRENZ!) in 3D until he finally decomposes while running through a loop de loop. His head'll fall off or something and that'll be that.
