What to look for in the next Sonic game

[LightWolf]

I've noticed that people have generally liked modern Sonic games less than older Sonic games, thus leading me to wonder what most people think that they should/shouldn't have.

What do you think should (or shouldn't) be in the next Sonic game, or any Sonic game in general?

[Isaac]

They probably shouldn't have alcoholism. Like, Sonic getting wasted then beating his girl friend then crashing his body into a mini-van would be very bad. They probably shouldn't have that.

[Sergeant Thorne]

I'd like a Sonic game that is 3rd-hedgehog, and really gives the player the feel of having so much speed at their disposal, with a super-fast mode that's more like bullet-time. Go with the dark, more realistic Sonic universe.

Also what Isaac said. That would be a terrible idea... but a drunk-running Sonic the Hedgehog cut-scene would make for a good easter egg.

I foresee sonic sex at such high speed that you don't even see it happening.

Everything NOT in this:

Wow, even the story behind this is weird: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Dreams_Collection

Must:

sidescroller
Tails accompanied
Genesis style music

Not:

cutscenes
too many characters

[Isaac]

Will never happen again:

Must:

sidescroller
Tails accompanied
Genesis style music

Also won't happen again, as a result:

A super successful Sonic game.

You know that one of the latest games (Sonic 4) has all of those except the music, right?

[Alter-Fox]

No it's got the music too.

But, really, I think Isaac nailed it.

[Descer]

Don't have the consoles.
